Chapter 19: The Vicious Wang Xing'er
The spring rain is drizzling and the breeze is blowing gently. The moist soil in the yard makes golden petals bloom.
Xu Miaomiao stared at the blooming ground lotus, feeling secretly delighted. She carefully plucked off a few petals and crushed them. Xiaobao stared at her with his eyes squinted.
"This is because the ground golden lotus has the effect of detoxification." Xu Miaomiao explained to Xiaobao while changing his words.
"Madam Song, the cotton in the field has grown."
Wu Zhuang drove the ox cart, shouting as he went along, and Xu Miaomiao responded with a "I understand."
The golden lotus in his hand had been crushed into pieces. Xu Miaomiao took out the auxiliary ingredients from the space, put them together, and walked into the house.
The man closed his eyes and had not seen the sun for a long time, which made his skin whiter.
Xu Miaomiao fed the prepared medicine into the man's mouth spoonful by spoonful and wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth. Xu Miaomiao muttered in her heart that he should wake up soon.
After putting away the dishes, Xu Miaomiao walked towards the cotton field carrying the backpack.
The small seeds that were originally just tender sprouts have now reached the knees, and there are some cotton buds on them that are about to bloom.
Xu Miaomiao broke open one of them, and the cotton in the middle scattered everywhere. There should be a good harvest this year.
"Hey, Xu Miaomiao?"
Following the sound, I saw Wang Xing'er standing by with a hoe in her hand. Her originally delicate skin had turned red, her slender figure had become bloated, and she spoke incoherently: "I can't forget it all the time. I am where I am today thanks to you!"
Xu Miaomiao didn't want to pay attention to her, and turned to leave, but was stopped by the second female lead: "But, evildoers will be punished by evildoers. I heard that your brother is very troublesome."
Xu Miaomiao turned her head to look at her and expressed all her doubts: "What do you mean?"
Wang Xing'er pretended to be shocked, covering her mouth and widening her eyes, her tone even more exaggerated: "Ah! Madam Song doesn't know yet!"
Ignoring Xu Miaomiao, he continued, "Yesterday I heard that Xu Shan, oh, your brother, went out to gamble again, lost a lot of money, and even had his fingers cut off."
Xu Miaomiao frowned and replied, "He is a member of the Xu family. What does it have to do with me being a wife of the Song family?"
"It's nothing at all." Wang Xing'er said mysteriously, "But he owes you a lot of money, and he ran away to your house to buy your daughter to pay off his debts!"
Erbao! Xu Miaomiao was startled, and went home regardless of Wang Xing'er's ridicule and pity behind her.
"Let me go, let me go!"
"Don't touch my sister!"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao arrived home, she saw Dabao protecting Erbao, and Xu Shan took Erbao's hand and was about to walk outside.
"Let me go!"
Only after Xu Miaomiao scolded him did Xu Shan let go.
Erbao's nose was snotty and tears were streaming down her face. Xu Miaomiao felt a pain in her heart. She hugged her in her arms, turned around and said to the man, "What are you going to do!"
When Xu Shan saw her coming back, he put his hands in his pockets and pretended to be a modest gentleman and said, "It's my sister."
"Erbao is my child, where are you taking her!" Xu Miaomiao's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the man in front of her.
The man pretended to be nonchalant and said with some disdain: "It's just a girl, I bought it, why do you care?"
Xu Miaomiao stood in front of the three children and said, "No one can touch my children while I am here."
"Then you don't care about your brother's life or death!" Xu Shan stretched out his hand. The little finger on his right hand was missing a section, and it looked like it had been chopped off by someone.
"Heh." Xu Miaomiao sneered at him and said, "You got addicted to gambling yourself. You can't blame anyone else for losing all your family's wealth."
"Miao Miao, you can't say that."
The sudden voice caught Xu Miaomiao's attention, and the woman who had been standing beside her suddenly spoke.
Xu Miaomiao sneered. The original owner's mother, Zhang Guifang, seemed gentle but was actually the most thoughtful and her words were sharp.
"So what does mother say I should do?"
"Of course you should give me some money to pay off my debt." Xu Shan said casually while looking up.
Xu Miaomiao said nothing, took out a silver note of 100 taels and threw it on the ground: "When we split up the family, you gave me 50 taels. Now I give you 100 taels. Let's not have any more dealings."
Xu Shan quickly wiped the banknote clean and put it in his arms, muttering: "This little money is not enough to pay off the debt!"
Zhang Guifang slowly came over and took Xu Miaomiao's hand: "Child, your mother raised you from childhood, so you should remember her kindness and help your brother."
Xu Miaomiao brushed Zhang Guifang's hand away and said in a cold tone: "Impossible, unless he quits gambling, otherwise we will end our relationship."
"Pah, what the hell!"
Xu Shan rolled his eyes, cursed under his breath, and walked towards his house.
Seeing this, Zhang Guifang hurriedly followed behind him.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and pulled the three children into the house. She didn't notice any sound outside the door and kept watching everything in front of her.
It was a dark night with a strong wind. The cold wind blew the window open. Xu Shan shivered and shouted to Zhang Guifang: "Mom, please close the window quickly. I'm freezing to death."
"knew."
Zhang Guifang responded and was about to close the window when someone knocked on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw her slightly fat daughter standing outside. Zhang Guifang asked impatiently, "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I have a way to help your son get out of this predicament."
The woman invited the man into the house, and the three of them discussed in low voices...
"Aqiu—" Xu Miaomiao sneezed, and her body leaned towards Song Wushao unconsciously, wondering: Is it getting colder again?
The next morning, as soon as Xu Miaomiao opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Guifang waiting in front of the house with a bowl of porridge in her hand.
"Miao Miao, mother is here to apologize."
As she spoke, Zhang Guifang handed over the porridge.
Xu Miaomiao put it to her nose and sniffed, and she smelled the scent of the love potion.
Holding the porridge, he sniffed Zhang Guifang carefully: "Mom, do you really want me to drink it?"
Zhang Guifang looked away and said, "Of course."
Xu Miaomiao laughed and pretended to drink it. She wanted to see what these two people were going to do.
After drinking the porridge, Xu Miaomiao pretended to go downstairs.
Zhang Guifang and Xu Shan carried her shakily onto the ox cart.
"Have you made the contact yet?"
"Don't worry, we have made all the contacts."
Hearing the voice, Xu Miaomiao opened her eyes curiously and saw that it was Wang Xing'er who was pulling Zhang Guifang to discuss something.
"As long as you buy her to a brothel, all the property will be yours." Wang Xing'er said.
Zhang Guifang smiled slightly and remained silent, but patted Xu Shan's hand comfortingly.
Xu Miaomiao felt a chill in her heart. She never imagined that the original owner's mother could be so cruel and actually plan this.
The ox cart wobbled to a stop. Wang Xing'er went in and talked to the brothel mother for a few words, and then someone came to pick up Xu Miaomiao.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered the house, Mrs. Li from the brothel couldn't wait to look at her appearance.
When Xu Miaomiao opened her eyes, she was startled.
"Mrs. Miaomiao?"
Mother Li looked at her with some disbelief in her eyes.
