Chapter 20: Suffering the consequences
Xu Miaomiao nodded. She had met this lady named Li who had a headache when she came to the market to do business before. She gave her two injections and she was cured.
"What's going on?"
Mother Li looked at Xu Miaomiao suspiciously, with confusion in her eyes.
"Mom, I was harmed by a villain, so I came here."
Xu Miaomiao responded, the woman's eyes wandering around, at a loss: "What should we do now? I have already made an appointment with the boss. A new person is coming today."
Xu Miaomiao took out ten pieces of silver and stuffed them into the woman's hand: "Mom, I think that Wang Niang is pretty good."
The woman stared at the door thoughtfully for a long time, then slowly nodded.
Mother Li opened the back door and Xu Miaomiao walked outside.
Looking back at the attic full of beautiful girls, my heart sank. All this was caused by Wang Xing'er herself.
As soon as she got home, Xu Miaomiao saw Erbao and Xiaobao standing outside the door crying.
Dabao looked gloomily at the two people rummaging through the drawers in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
The two turned around in surprise. Xu Shan was still as shameless as before, with his hands in his pockets, saying, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be receiving customers in a brothel?"
Zhang Guifang laughed awkwardly twice.
"I'm so proud of you guys. You actually colluded with outsiders to buy me to a brothel."
Zhang Guifang blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Dabao, who was standing by, also changed his expression when he heard this and stared grimly at the man in front of him.
"Your husband is dead. A woman should regard her brother as her father. Whatever we do to you is justified."
Xu Shan spoke from the side.
Xu Miaomiao said sarcastically: "At first you thought I was useless and gave me some money to end our relationship. Now that I'm rich, you come to me again. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are powerful?"
"You were raised by your parents, so what's wrong with asking you for some money?"
“That’s enough!”
Zhang Guifang on the side suddenly spoke up to break up the quarrel, looking at Xu Miaomiao with tears in her eyes: "Miaomiao, I am sorry for you, but we really have no other choice, please help me."
Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath, took out a stack of silver bills from her sleeve and handed them to the woman: "There are five hundred taels in here, which is considered to buy out our mother-daughter relationship. If you take this money, we will sever our relationship."
When Xu Shan saw the thick pile of money, he hurriedly urged Zhang Guifang to take it.
Zhang Guifang took the money with trembling hands.
Xu Shan was about to walk towards the back room when Xu Miaomiao stopped him: "Since we have severed our relationship, please find a place to go by yourselves."
"Bah!" Xu Shan walked out, cursing in a low voice: "I won't come even if you ask me to come!"
Only after sending the two people away did Xu Miaomiao breathe a sigh of relief.
After comforting Erbao and Xiaobao, I just walked out of the house and found that Dabao had already heated up the food and put it on the table.
Xu Miaomiao felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her child was so sensible.
The family was sitting around the table, talking and laughing, when a voice broke the silence.
"Madam Song, where is my wife?"
When Xu Miaomiao walked outside, she saw that it was Liu Quezi who was leaning over the fence and looking towards his home.
"Madam Song, where is Wang Xing'er? I heard from the villagers that she came to your place. Where is she?"
As Liu Quezi was about to go in to check, he was stopped outside the house by Xu Miaomiao, looking a little unhappy.
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao smiled lightly and said disdainfully: "She didn't come to my place, but if you believe me, go to the brothel in the market and take a look."
"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Quezi felt humiliated when he heard this, and immediately fought back: "My wife is a good family even if she is not good. How can you make up such a story?"
"I know that words are not enough, Mr. Liu, why don't you go and see for yourself."
Liu Quezi moved his eyes and quickly dragged his lame leg away.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and went into the house.
Spring slips away quietly and summer follows.
Xu Miaomiao checked on the growth of the cotton field as usual and occasionally chatted with the villagers about gossip. Her life was not pleasant at all.
"Madam Song, have you heard about Wang Xing'er's incident?"
Matchmaker Li leaned over to Xu Miaomiao and asked.
"I don't know." Xu Miaomiao shook her head hesitantly.
"We couldn't find her a few days ago, so Liu Quezi went to the market to look for her. Guess where she was?"
Matchmaker Li asked a mysterious question, but Xu Miaomiao ignored her and continued, "I actually saw Wang Xing'er in a brothel. There were two or three men crawling on top of her when I went there."
"What happened next?" Miaomiao asked curiously.
Matchmaker Li approached her and lowered her voice: "Later, Liu Quezi took her back and gave her a good beating. He then went to the village chief and asked for a divorce. It was the village chief who stepped in to settle the matter. But from then on, Liu Quezi kept beating and scolding Wang Xing'er."
Xu Miaomiao kept silent: "Wang Xing'er didn't make any excuses?"
Seeing Matchmaker Li shaking her head, Xu Miaomiao also sighed.
That's right, I framed others and then was blamed. I really feel ashamed to explain.
But after this incident, Wang Xing'er remained quiet for several days.
Ever since the village started planting cotton, everyone has paid great attention to the cotton fields.
Xu Miaomiao also understood everyone's eagerness, so she called everyone together to demonstrate how to pick cotton before it ripened.
As soon as Wu Zhuang arrived, he stared at Xu Miaomiao without blinking.
"What happened to Mr. Wu?"
Xu Miaomiao thought there was something dirty on her face. Just as she was about to help him up, she heard Wu Zhuang continue to speak: "My wife is really getting more and more beautiful. I was dazzled just now."
Xu Miaomiao blushed and smiled: I lose weight and treat the acne on my face every day, and the results are quite good.
As soon as Wu Zhuang opened his mouth, someone immediately said, "I think Wu Zhuang is right. My wife is beautiful and smart. She is a lucky star."
"What lucky star? It's our village beauty!"
As the sounds came one after another, Xu Miaomiao felt unworthy of the sudden title of village beauty. After demonstrating how to pick cotton, she hurried home.
Xiaobao was reading a medical book with great interest, while Dabao was playing Cuju with Erbao.
Xu Miaomiao walked into the room and looked at herself in the mirror curiously.
It is said that women care a lot about their appearance, and I am no exception. Who doesn't want to be beautiful?
The woman in the mirror had a clean complexion, and her forehead, which was originally covered with acne, was now clean. Although her figure was not slim, it was slender, and her lively eyes were like a deer in the forest.
Xu Miaomiao forced a smile. Fortunately, her original appearance was not bad, she was just a little bloated, and she could fix it herself. Picking up the bamboo charcoal on the table, Xu Miaomiao began to paint on her eyebrows. In the past, in that world, she was also considered a beauty expert.
Perhaps because she was too focused, Xu Miaomiao did not notice that the person on the bed started to move.
Song Wu Shao had just opened his eyes, and there was still some disbelief in the haziness in his eyes, because he could hear clearly the woman's careful care for him and what she said these days.
He turned his head stiffly to the side and saw Xu Miaomiao drawing in front of the mirror.
