The next day after the Xu family returned to Xujia Village, other people in Xujia Village learned about it, and the news quickly reached the ears of Xu Er's family.
Compared to the enthusiasm of Xu Er's wife and others, Xu Er was very calm.
After getting the news, he asked someone to find out about it, and he even found out about Ergouzi's affairs.
Xu Er's father-in-law's family used to be peddlers and knew a lot of people. He also heard that the Xu family now has a good relationship with the county magistrate.
It is impossible to say that Xu Er had no thoughts. He had secretly looked at the current Xu family, but he saw at a glance that the Xu family would not be polite to him.
It was he who chose to abandon his parents, so naturally he has no right to think about family affection anymore.
But people never give up until they have tried. During the big shopping before the New Year, he finally got the chance to meet Old Lady Xu.
Xu Er didn't call out to his mother, but just stared at Old Lady Xu without saying a word.
Old Mrs. Xu sneered. She knew what her former son was thinking at a glance. She pulled Xu Ning away.
Xu Er did not chase after him. Xu Ning looked back at his second uncle thoughtfully, and realized that he was more difficult to deal with than those people in Xujia Village.
However, no matter how difficult they are to deal with, as long as you dare to attack, they will kill you.
If you are not kind, you cannot command an army. If you are not ruthless, the Xu family would have died on the way to escape famine.
After buying things and returning to the Xu family, Old Mrs. Xu told her about her meeting with Xu Er.
"As long as he's alive, the rest is none of our business." Father Xu comforted Old Lady Xu. Since Old Lady Xu had seen the person, there was no need for him to see her again.
When Xu Er returned home that night, he also made a decision, asking the whole family to stay at home as much as possible and then leave Qin County after the New Year.
He used to be Old Lady Xu's favorite son, and he only needed to know what Old Lady Xu was thinking at a glance.
It was precisely his idea of keeping to one's lot that saved his life after leaving Qin County, but that's a story for later.
The Chinese New Year was just a few days away, and Xu Ning and the others had been waiting for Xu Er to come and cause trouble, but he never showed up. Instead, the people from Xujia Village came every now and then to borrow money from Old Lady Xu and Old Man Xu.
Er Gouzi, frightened by the beating, didn't show up. The others, feeling they hadn't provoked the Xu family, shamelessly came to complain about their poverty. If Old Lady Xu and Old Father Xu deliberately avoided them, they would squat under the Xu family's wall and shout.
"Aunt Chunhua, my family is truly alive. Please have some pity on me. I haven't eaten meat in years!"
Xu Ning jumped onto the wall when he heard the sound. He saw a fat pig below with its eyes rolled up to the sky. "Tsk, it's fat and strong, even stronger than the pigs during the Chinese New Year. It's not like you haven't eaten meat in years, it's because you've eaten too much meat and your brain has gone!"
"You...you little girl, how can you slander others!"
Xu Ning: "Haha, you must have peed yourself even if you don't have a mirror. Look at yourself before you go out. What a fat pig you look like! How dare you beg for money? I bet you wouldn't get hurt even if you rolled down the mountain!"
"How can you, a little girl, speak so viciously?"
Xu Ning: "Vicious, you're not vicious if you cheated the old man out of his money, and you're not vicious if you seized the villagers' land. You've done at least 70 or 80 vicious things, if not a hundred. How about I ask the county magistrate to come and help judge you? Are you vicious or am I?"
"You...I..."
Under Xu Ning's death stare, another mangy dog was driven away by Xu Ning. Xu Ning was about to jump down from the wall when he turned around and saw Xu Yuan standing beside him with a cup of hot tea in his hand.
"Ningning, come and drink some water. You must be thirsty. Let's not argue with these people. Mom made fried meatballs today. Let's go eat them." Xu Yuan handed tea to Xu Ning while stroking her back. To be honest, these villagers suddenly stuck to them like dog-skin plasters, and the Xu family was very annoyed.
"Useless Aunt Yuan, they are so sure that we won't do anything to them that they dare to come to our house so brazenly and disgust us."
Xu Ning handed back the empty cup of tea and continued to explain: "Anyway, whether they want something or not, they won't suffer any loss. If we really can't bear it and give us money, they will make a profit. If we don't fall for it, they will succeed in disgusting us, and they will also make a profit."
"It's really infuriating, Ningning, why don't we just go put on the sacks!"
Xu Ning shook his head. "It's almost Chinese New Year. They're just taking advantage of the fact that we won't attack anyone. Just wait and see. They'll be even more rampant on New Year's Day."
"Second sister, are we just going to watch them run rampant?"
When Xu Feng came out with the freshly fried meatballs, he heard Xu Ning say that the people in the village would become even more rampant.
"Of course not." Xu Ning squatted down and wanted to take the fried meatballs from Xu Feng's hand. Xu Feng jumped up and squatted beside Xu Ning.
"Second sister, let's talk about it from above. It's a good opportunity to see who else is shameless and comes over again."
Xu Ning nodded indifferently. She picked up a toothpick and poked two fried meatballs, then put them into her mouth, one on the left and one on the right, chewing while thinking.
Suddenly, a carriage entered the sight of several people. Xu Ning was bumped on the shoulder by Xu Feng, "Second sister, that carriage looks familiar."
"Hmm..." Xu Ning's mouth was puffed up. The fried meatball was still a little hot inside. She blew twice before swallowing it.
"They do look familiar." The familiarity did not stop her from eating two more meatballs. Seeing that Xu Ning had eaten half of the meatballs in one go, Xu Feng quickly forked a few and stuffed them into his mouth.
Xu Yuan tasted one and stopped eating. As the carriage got closer, Xu Ning and his sister saw the face of the person who lifted the curtain of the carriage without her reminding them.
"Jiang Yi?! Why is he here...?" Xu Ning didn't finish chewing the fried meatball in his mouth and spoke incoherently.
Xu Feng: "Here to do some business? But what business would he come to do during Chinese New Year?"
