Chapter 430 Going to the battlefield to fight
Jiang finally understood why Xiaohua was in a bad mood.
"You only have your parents at home, and no other elders to help you. Now that your mother is busy making money to support the family, isn't it your father's responsibility to take care of you? What does Liu Guihua have to do with it? Besides, Liu Guihua is the one who speaks the truth, and Xiaohua shouldn't be angry with your father."
Xiaohua sniffed.
"It's Xiaohua's fault."
Jiang squatted down and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Xiaohua is a good child. If anything happens in the future, you must explain it clearly to your father. You can't just tell him half and keep the other half, and you can't be upset by yourself, okay?"
Xiaohua nodded.
"knew."
Jiang touched her head.
"Go back and apologize to your father, and tell him what Liu Guihua said to you. As for your Aunt Guihua, this time, Grandma Jiang will seek justice for you."
As neighbors for so many years, she had some understanding of Xu Guixi.
Thinking that he grew up eating at many people's homes, he allowed the villagers to take advantage of him.
Liu Guihua was not a good person either, and Xu Baolai was an honest man who worked in the tea mountains near Yulan Town. The two of them met while working there.
The road from the tea mountain to Lushan Village is far, so Xu Baolai lives on a large bunk bed provided by the owner of the tea mountain.
Liu Guihua somehow fell in love with Xu Baolai, and took advantage of the fact that Xu Baolai was the only one in the dormitory where all the men were staying that day to get into his bed.
Of course the hot-blooded young man couldn't resist the temptation.
Afterwards, Xu Baolai took the initiative to take responsibility and returned to Lushan Village that day, asking his family to prepare the bride price and marry the girl.
After getting married, he never neglected the work at the tea mountain. Before Liu Guihua was pregnant, he often went with her. After she became pregnant and had a child, she had to stay at home to take care of the child.
Xu Baolai works in the tea mountains and can come back once or twice a month, staying at home for two days each time.
Liu Guihua was not a person who would settle down.
Doing this now may be because I can't stand the loneliness.
Or maybe he saw that Fang Miao was not at home and wanted to take advantage of Xu Guixi and Xiaohua.
She had to go and inform Liu Guihua's mother-in-law about what happened today.
Don't let her restlessness destroy two families.
Fang Miao had finally made it through, but if a fire broke out in the backyard, all the hard work she had endured would have been in vain.
Seeing that Song Yuntang had tied Xiaohua's hair, Jiang led her to stand up.
"Let's go, Grandma Jiang will take you home."
Xu Wencheng glanced in the direction of Jiang, then turned to look at Xu Yongwang who looked calm and composed.
"Dad, is Mom okay?"
Xu Yongwang was not worried at all.
"Don't worry, your mother knows her limits."
After a while, Jiang came back with a smile.
"Mom, what's going on?" Xu Wencheng asked.
"Liu Guihua was beaten with a broom by her mother-in-law, who also sent someone to Yulan Town to call Xu Baolai, saying that she wanted Xu Baolai to go home and divorce her."
Xu Yongwang paused and looked at Jiang. "It is said that it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage. If they really break up, I am afraid they will blame you."
Jiang waved her hand.
"It won't break up. I can see that my sister-in-law is just pretending to scare Liu Guihua. Besides, Xu Baolai and Liu Guihua have two children. How can they just break up?"
Then he looked at Song Yuntang standing beside him.
"If Tang'er goes to the provincial capital, ask Fang Miao to come back and see Xiaohua. Xu Guixi's legs are healed now, and it's easy for others to take advantage of the couple if they're not together for a long time."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"When the time comes, I'll ask Fang Miao to see if the provincial capital needs an extra person. We're going to open a branch store anyway, and the people who came here know everything about us, so it's always more reliable than hiring people from outside."
Xu Yongwang said, "That's fine. After all, it was you who cured Guixi's leg. The couple remember your kindness. Now that they have the job you gave them, they will definitely do their best."
Song Yuntang took out a silver note worth five hundred taels from his arms.
"Mother, take this banknote and use it."
Jiang hurriedly pushed it back.
"I haven't used the one hundred taels you gave me last year. Why are you giving me more silver? We don't need money at home now. You can use it to do business."
Song Yuntang stuffed the banknote into her hand without saying a word.
"We opened a few more shops this year and the profits are good. We don't need these few hundred taels. Besides, even if Dad and Mom don't use it themselves, they can save it for Wencheng to marry a wife. You and Dad help us a lot every day, and I can't spend all the money by myself."
When Xu Wencheng heard her mention him, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the two of them.
"My eldest brother won't get married until he's 23, so I'm not in a hurry."
Jiang glanced at him unhappily.
"You little bastard! Your elder brother was in poor health and that delayed his marriage to 23. With your character, if you really wait until 23, no girl will be interested in you."
Xu Wencheng lay down on the chair.
"Then I will live on my own. Anyway, my eldest brother is here to carry on the family line. As long as the incense is not cut off, it will be fine. At worst, my eldest brother and his wife can work harder and give birth to a few more nephews and nieces. Then I can adopt one of them from you and raise him as a son."
Hearing her son's nonsense, Jiang's forehead twitched with anger.
She picked up the broom and hit Xu Wencheng.
"I told you to stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Wencheng jumped up from his chair and ran around the yard.
"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm speaking from the heart."
Jiang ran after him.
"You're telling the truth. You even wanted to adopt your brother and sister-in-law's child and get something for nothing. You're dreaming. Why did I give birth to a heartless person like you? What else can you do if you don't get married when you're old enough?"
Xu Wencheng blurted out.
"I'm going to the battlefield to fight."
Hearing this, Jiang suddenly stopped what he was doing, and Xu Yongwang, who was rocking leisurely on the recliner, also opened his eyes.
Jiang thought she had heard wrongly and asked again, "What did you just say?"
Xu Wencheng plucked up his courage.
"Dad, Mom, I want to join the army."
After the yard was quiet for a moment, Jiang raised the broom in her hand again.
"You little brat, you've had too much time to spare, haven't you? People are trying every possible way to hide, but you're still rushing forward. Do you know how dangerous this is? Do you want your parents to send you off?"
Xu Wencheng dodged Jiang's broom and said, "Mom, I have been practicing Kung Fu with Sister Xia Ning for almost a year, so I am not completely powerless now. Besides, not everyone goes to the battlefield to die. Aren't there generals who return victorious?"
"As a man of Daxia, it is the responsibility of each of us to defend our country. I heard that the border war has been tense in the past two years. What if I can play a role after I go there?"
Jiang was chasing after him, panting.
"Don't think you'll be invincible after practicing for a few days. With your mediocre skills and your unruly temper, you won't know how you died on the battlefield. Do you think it's easy to become a general? How many generals can emerge from ten thousand people? And which one didn't climb to the top by stepping on thousands of corpses?"
"Before your brother was seriously ill, your parents worried about him for five years. After your brother finally recovered, you wanted to run to the border again. Do you really think your parents are living too comfortably?"
As she was talking, she suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying.
