Qin Xueqiong explained, "It's a piece of white jade. Your grandparents gave it to me when I got married."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou felt strange. In her original impression, the Qin family had been poor peasants for three generations, so where did they get the white jade? Moreover, even if she gave it to someone, it should not be given to her mother, but to her uncle who disappeared after her mother got married.
Qin Xueqiong didn't know the reason either, so she shook her head and said, "Your uncle wasn't missing at the time, but your grandparents just passed him by and gave me the jade pendant."
Seeing that her mother didn't know either, Tang Xiaorou didn't ask any more questions. The most important thing now was to get the jade pendant back. "Mom, let's go to the house together and get the jade pendant back today."
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
Tang Jianshe arrived at the house first, and when he saw Old Lady Tang, he told her about Qin Xueqiong wanting the jade pendant.
"Bah... That bitch didn't have any dowry when she got married. This jade pendant was considered her dowry. She still has the nerve to ask for it back. Tell her, she didn't have any dowry. I had already pawned this jade pendant."
"Old hag, do you think I'm stupid? Who would dare to pawn something these days, especially at this time? People want real gold and silver, who would want a jade pendant? I tell you, you'd better bring it here now, otherwise I won't know who will be chopped by my sickle." Tang Xiaorou picked up the sickle at the door when she came in just now. When she heard what Old Lady Tang said, she threatened her directly.
"ah……"
At the first sight of the gleaming sickle, Old Lady Tang was startled, and even Mr. Tang and Tang Jianshe stepped back.
When several people responded, their faces looked very ugly.
"Tang Erya, what are you doing?"
"What can I do? I just want you to hand over the things that belong to my mother, otherwise no one will have a good life today."
Master Tang had been the head of the family for his entire life, but this was the first time he was disobeyed by a junior. He was so angry that his face turned blue, "You crazy girl."
"Heh...it seems like you won't cry until you see the coffin."
Seeing that several people were talking to themselves and were not going to take the jade pendant, Tang Xiaorou sharpened her eyes, and rushed over to Old Lady Tang, who was the closest and had the least strength, picked up the sickle and chopped straight at the old woman's shoulder. She wanted to see whether the old woman wanted her life or the jade pendant.
"Ah... I'll give it to you, don't cut me."
Old Mrs. Tang was completely frightened. When the sickle hit her shoulder, she begged for mercy.
At this time, Tang Xiaorou's sickle just reached Old Lady Tang's shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, her clothes were torn.
"Ah... I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding."
When Old Mrs. Tang saw the wound on her shoulder, her face turned pale.
It was only a small wound, but Mrs. Tang looked as if she was dying. But why didn't she think about how many wounds they had inflicted on her original body and Qin Xueqiong? Tang Xiaorou sneered and said, "Hurry up and get the jade pendant, or my sickle will not only chop your shoulder."
Hearing this, Old Lady Tang finally came to her senses. She quickly turned around and walked into the house to get the jade pendant.
Just as Mr. Tang was about to call for help, he was interrupted by Tang Xiaorou.
"Master, it seems that you want to change your partner. You wish I could chop this old woman to death, right?"
Mr. Tang naturally couldn't respond to this, so he could only stare at Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong, mother and daughter, with gloomy eyes.
Tang Jianshe pointed at Qin Xueqiong and was speechless, "You...look at the good daughter you taught."
Qin Xueqiong glanced at Tang Jianshe coldly and ignored him.
At this time, Mrs. Tang tremblingly brought a wooden box and placed it on the table, "The jade pendant is here."
Tang Xiaorou walked quickly forward, picked up the wooden box, opened it and took a look. She found that it was indeed a mutton-fat white jade pendant. She asked her mother to identify it. After confirming that it was this jade pendant, the two turned around and left the house.
After the mother and daughter left, Old Mrs. Tang started crying and shouting.
"I have such a miserable life. I am still being bullied by my daughter-in-law when I am old. I really can't live like this..."
"Shut up!"
Mr. Tang glanced at Old Madam Tang coldly, his expression full of impatience.
Seeing the master like this, Mrs. Tang didn't dare to cry anymore. She could only cover her shoulders and look at the little boy and said, "Jianshe, go get some wood ash to stop the bleeding for me."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
On the other side, Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong returned to the room and looked at the white jade carefully.
"Mom, this jade pendant is priceless. Where do you think grandpa and grandma got it from?"
Qin Xueqiong shook her head and said, "I don't know about that either."
Although Tang Xiaorou was curious, she had no way of knowing now, so she could only put the jade pendant on Qin Xueqiong's body and said, "Mom, the jade pendant is coming back, you keep it well, and don't let anyone else take it away from you in the future."
Qin Xueqiong stuffed the jade pendant into her daughter's hand.
"This was given to me by your grandparents when I got married. Now that you are married, I give this jade pendant to you."
When Tang Xiaorou wanted to say something else, Qin Xueqiong smiled and continued, "Xiaorou, quickly put it away. This jade pendant will be your dowry."
Seeing her mother's face full of expectation and blessings, Tang Xiaorou accepted the jade pendant and said, "Okay, I will keep it well." At the end, she began to check Qin Xueqiong's wound, "Mom, let me take a look at your wound first."
"I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound."
Tang Xiaorou was a little persistent, "Even if it's just a skin injury, you have to apply medicine."
While checking her mother's wound, Tang Xiaorou took her pulse. She frowned slightly. Long-term malnutrition had caused her body to be deficient. It might take several years to recover.
However, Tang Xiaorou said nothing, just smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's just some superficial injuries." After packing up everything for Qin Xueqiong, she opened the things that Shen Huaixu brought and said, "Mom, I'm hungry, let's eat something first."
Qin Xueqiong saw her daughter taking the egg cake and was reluctant to eat it, "Xiao Rou, eat it yourself, Mom is not hungry."
Without saying anything, Tang Xiaorou stuffed the egg cake into Qin Xueqiong's mouth and said, "Mom, eat quickly. We can't let the Tang family get away with these things. I'm afraid they'll snatch them away before we finish them."
The egg cake was already in her mouth. Qin Xueqiong said nothing more and started eating slowly.
The soft texture and sweet taste made Qin Xueqiong eat faster and faster. She couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had eaten such a delicious thing.
"Mom, eat slowly, there's still a lot."
Tang Xiaorou felt sad seeing Qin Xueqiong like this.
Qin Xueqiong felt embarrassed for her daughter after hearing this. "Okay, I'll eat slowly. I won't embarrass you in the future, otherwise Xiao Shen will definitely think of something."
"Humph... It's a blessing for Shen Huaixu to marry me. If I hadn't seen that he is good-looking, I wouldn't be willing to marry him, so if he dares to have any ideas, I will definitely teach him a lesson."
Qin Xueqiong glared at her daughter and said, "Don't say that outside, or others will definitely talk about you."
Tang Xiaorou totally disagreed.
However, what the two did not expect was that in the evening, Shen Huaixu came directly with the two children.
"Are these... these the two children you adopted?"
Looking at the skinny boy and girl in front of her, Tang Xiaorou was surprised. "Didn't we agree that I would go to the guesthouse to find you tomorrow morning?"
Shen Huaixu said anxiously, "It's too late. I have to go out on a mission right away. My comrades-in-arms drove the two children over immediately after receiving my notice."
At this time, a tall figure walked behind Shen Huaixu, "Huaixu, this must be my sister-in-law, hello sister-in-law."
As they got closer, Tang Xiaorou could see clearly that the man in front of her was wearing a neat military uniform. He must be the one who brought the two children here. "Hello, I'm Tang Xiaorou, Shen Huaixu's wife."
Pang Yunli was slightly stunned when he saw the graceful Tang Xiaorou in front of him. After hearing that his friend got married with a rural girl he met for the first time, he thought his friend was crazy. Even if Huai Xu led the team in the last mission and Lao Cui unfortunately died, his two children were not Huai Xu's responsibility.
But now seeing Tang Xiaorou, he found that this sister-in-law was not as bad as he imagined.
"Hello sister-in-law, my name is Pang Yunli, I am Huai Xu's comrade-in-arms and also his good friend."
"Hello, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Qin Xueqiong also greeted him, "Yes, come in and have a seat."
Shen Huaixu shook his head and said, "Mom, it's too late, we have to leave quickly." Then he pushed the two children in front of them and said, "This is Cui Liang and Cui Yan."
When Pang Yunli heard Shen Huaixu's "Mom", he looked at him in surprise, and finally realized clearly that his friend was really married, and even called his mother-in-law, so he quickly shouted, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello."
Qin Xueqiong responded with a smile, then looked at the two little ones and greeted them, "Xiaoliang, Xiaoyan, hello."
The two children stepped back nervously.
Shen Huaixu said to them softly: "Don't be afraid, grandma and mom will take good care of you."
Tang Xiaorou showed a warm smile and said, "Xiaoliang, Xiaoyan, come to your mother quickly." The two children looked so small that you could not tell they were less than three years old.
Xiaoliang and Xiaoyan saw Tang Xiaorou's warm smile and relaxed a little, then they slowly walked to her side.
Tang Xiaorou picked up Xiaoyan and said, "Our Xiaoyan is such a pretty girl."
Hearing this, Xiaoyan couldn't help laughing.
Xiaoliang, who was standing by, saw his sister laughing and started laughing too. The brother and sister finally felt less nervous.
Shen Huaixu was relieved to see that the two children were willing to get close to Tang Xiaorou. When he was about to say goodbye, other people from the Tang family also heard the noise and came over.
When Tang Jianshe saw that it was Shen Huaixu, he said viciously: "What's going on? You just left in the afternoon, why are you here again in the middle of the night?" As he spoke, he also saw Pang Yunli in military uniform and the military jeep behind him, "Who... who is this?"
When Pang Yunli was about to say hello, Shen Huaixu spoke first.
"This is my comrade-in-arms. He came here specially to pick me up."
He turned to look at Tang Xiaorou and asked solemnly, "Is it okay to leave the two children to you?"
Seeing Shen Huaixu's serious expression, Tang Xiaorou nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
"Okay, I believe you."
After saying this, Shen Huaixu glanced at Pang Yunli and said, "Let's go."
"good."
Seeing this, Pang Yunli didn't ask any more questions. He quickly followed Shen Huaixu, got in the jeep and drove away directly.
