Chapter 22 Lai Zi is here again
"Mom, you're back."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao approached the yard, Erbao gathered in front of her as usual.
Song Wushao heard the voice and came forward to take the backpack from Xu Miaomiao's hand. He smiled as if bathed in spring breeze and said, "My dear, you have worked hard today."
Xu Miaomiao didn't dare to let Song Wushao work hard, so she quickly grabbed the backpack and put it away herself. She did not miss the difference and displeasure in Song Wushao's eyes just now.
“Miaomiao.”
Following the sound, the woman was carrying a big bag and waving happily at Xu Miaomiao, with Xu Shan following behind her in a nonchalant manner.
Xu Miaomiao frowned unconsciously and turned her eyes away, pretending not to know them.
The woman walked straight towards Xu Miaomiao, her eyes full of mist and her voice trembling a little: "Miaomiao, I was wrong about what happened before, so don't worry about it."
"My lady, this is serious." Xu Miaomiao took a step back and distanced herself from the woman: "My lady and I are strangers. My lady, please come and apologize."
Seeing that she was serious, Zhang Guifang muttered to Xu Shan, "Hurry up and apologize to your sister."
The man tugged at the corner of his clothes unsatisfiedly, glanced at Xu Miaomiao, and said frivolously: "I'm sorry."
"Miao Miao, look, your brother has already apologized, so just stop caring about it, okay?"
Zhang Guifang looked at Xu Miaomiao eagerly, but Xu Miaomiao remained unmoved.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Guifang collapsed to the ground and cried, "Oh, everyone, come and take a look. My daughter has grown up and she doesn't recognize her biological mother."
Xu Miaomiao stood quietly by and watched her perform.
Dabao came out and saw what was happening. He immediately picked up the broom next to him and tried to beat the two people out.
"Dabao, what are you doing!"
Xu Miaomiao was startled and quickly stopped the boy.
Dabao clenched the broom in his hand and said calmly, "Kick this dirty woman out."
"Okay, go inside, mother will take care of this matter."
Xu Miaomiao coaxed the child into the house and looked at the two people in front of her with a serious expression: "We agreed before that we would use 100 taels to buy out our relationship. You have already received the money. Now you still want to become relatives. This doesn't make sense."
Zhang Guifang's expression changed, and the saliva from her open mouth was about to hit Xu Miaomiao's face.
"Even if the bones are broken, they are still connected. I gave birth to you and raised you, you can't do this to me!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Miaomiao with tears and snot.
"Alas." Xu Miaomiao sighed and said, "Let's go and report to the police."
She didn't want to get into an argument with the two people in front of her so it would be better to let the official handle it.
Zhang Guifang looked at Xu Miaomiao and saw that she had a simple expression. Her tone became much softer, "Miaomiao, you can't be like this. Your mother has raised you to this age. You can't just ignore your mother when you become rich."
She had a loud voice and was arguing at the door, so everyone who passed by pointed and talked.
Xu Shan glanced at everyone impatiently, feeling a little embarrassed, and simply said: "How about this, you let me stay at your house for a few days, and after a few days, we will end our relationship."
Xu Miaomiao shook her head, and as it was getting late, she agreed.
After settling Xu Shan down, Zhang Guifang looked at him lingeringly and then turned and left.
Xu Miaomiao sighed. Once Xu Shan came, she would have to vacate a room for him, which meant that she would have to squeeze together with Song Wushao at night.
Sure enough, after coaxing the second baby to sleep, Xu Miaomiao paced in front of the bed and did not see Song Wushao come back for a long time.
The candle on the table was about to burn out. Xu Miaomiao tidied up her bedding and was about to lie down when she happened to run into Song Wushao coming back.
The man was cold, and there was no emotion on his fair face. Xu Miaomiao stammered, "You, do you want to come up to sleep?"
Xu Miaomiao saw the man's figure pause, and the disgust in his eyes was quickly replaced. Song Wushao said expressionlessly: "You go to sleep first, I'll read a book."
Song Wu Shao was about to turn around and leave with the book but was suddenly stopped by Xu Miaomiao.
"Well, why don't you just keep watching? It's really cold outside."
Song Wu Shao nodded, pulled out the stool stiffly and sat down, then opened the book and began to read carefully.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao turned her head, she could see the man's exquisite jaw. As he swallowed his saliva, the curve of his neck was better displayed. If they were not too far away, Xu Miaomiao really wanted to wipe away the loose hair on Song Wushao's forehead.
Admiring the man's beauty, Xu Miaomiao fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, she and Song Wushao seemed to be just an ordinary couple, living in harmony with each other, but the next second she felt like she was under water, and someone was strangling her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Xu Miaomiao woke up suddenly. The feeling of suffocation in the dream was too real. She was so frightened that she was sweating profusely.
When I opened my eyes, the bed next to me was already cold, as if no one had ever slept in it.
"Xiaobao, where are daddy and your brothers and sisters?"
Xu Miaomiao asked softly the little boy on the bed.
Xiaobao blinked his eyes and signed: Daddy took my brothers and sisters to pick cotton.
Xu Miaomiao nodded, thinking that her husband was still very hardworking!
Xu Miaomiao took good care of Xiaobao and helped him have breakfast, then began to draw her eyebrows in front of the mirror. Today she was going to check out the silk shop in the market.
You don’t know until you take a photo. You’ll be shocked when you do.
A scarlet mark appeared on Xu Miaomiao's neck, and the man's fingerprints could be vaguely seen on it.
Xu Miaomiao was shocked. She thought that the suffocating feeling she had last night was not a dream. Song Wushao really wanted to kill her.
Xu Miaomiao sighed and covered up the mark on her neck. It seemed that she would have to fight her wits and courage with him for a while.
Riding the ox cart to the market, Xu Miaomiao looked at the silk shop and sighed.
She used rabbit fur to make a new product - a scarf.
Its furry feel and warmth make it a fast seller.
Seeing her arrive, Wan Fuquan hurried out to greet her.
"My wife is here, but she needs to check the accounts."
As he said that, he handed the account book to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao evaded the question for a while: "Of course I believe in Boss Wan."
After inspecting the silk shop, Xu Miaomiao spotted several inferior products: "Boss Wan, we have to check carefully. Things like this will ruin our reputation."
The man nodded in agreement, and Xu Miaomiao didn't stay for long before turning around and leaving after giving his instructions.
The silk and satin shop now has exchanges with foreign caravans, and these new rabbit fur products are even sold to the capital.
As one of the shareholders, Xu Miaomiao made a fortune and was considered the richest man here for a while.
It would be nice if I could open a shop of my own in the capital, Xu Miaomiao thought as she walked back.
When passing by a pastry shop, she did not forget to buy some pastries for her three children.
Xu Miaomiao walked on the road, lost in thought, until she bumped into the fence in front of her and realized that she was home.
The scene before her shocked her again.
Xu Shan had been well-educated before, and had the noble air of a scholar.
At this time, Xu Shan was standing under the willow tree in the yard wearing a long gown.
