When talking about his eldest daughter who was forcibly married into the family of the butcher knife, Uncle Wen was no longer in a good mood to enjoy the food.
Uncle Wen saw that they were still whispering and shouted.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, what are you guys whispering about? It's so early in the morning, stop showing off your affection and come eat."
His wife, Mrs. Duan, had a good relationship with Mrs. Li. When he turned around and saw her red eyes, he swallowed the joking words he was about to say.
She held a bun and sighed softly. "Second sister-in-law must be thinking about Xiu Li. Our Xiu Li is the most beautiful and has the softest personality."
Marrying such a rough man, ah..."
Seeing her like this, Uncle Wen knew that she was talking about her second sister-in-law's daughter, but she was actually thinking about Xiuqing.
Thinking of Xiuqing, Wen San was still very angry.
"Don't think about that girl anymore. I just think she's possessed by a ghost.
Although the old man mentioned this, if that girl hadn't been so stubborn as to insist on going to the Huang family, who would have really carried her there to be a maid? "
He was too embarrassed to even mention the word "tongfang".
Duan was also extremely ashamed.
"Dad, there's something I haven't told you yet."
Xiushui, who was eating buns and came over to ask his second uncle and third uncle to hurry up and eat, stopped when he heard this.
She didn't mean to eavesdrop, it was just a coincidence!
"What's the matter?"
"Well, a few days before the old man said he was going to the Huang family to be a concubine, Xiuqing and I saw Mr. Huang in the city.
Xiuqing was so shocked at that time that her eyes widened and her face turned red with embarrassment. I told her at that time that she was in such a position and not to think too much about it.
The girl hummed to show her dissatisfaction.
Then when he came back, he heard that the young master of the Huang family was looking for a concubine.
Logically, the old man shouldn't have known about this, but he did, and even managed to contact the Huang family's steward...
Later, the old man said that Xiuqing would go to the Huang family to be a maid, and the maid asked for twenty taels of silver before she agreed to go.
I... always feel that this matter is strange, I just hope I am not overthinking it..."
Uncle Wen was stunned by what he heard. He knew his own daughter well.
She is quite pretty, but was born in a poor family.
She usually has high standards and looks down on men from ordinary families. Instead, she likes to go to the city.
I always tell them that if they want to get married, they should marry someone rich and powerful.
"Don't ever mention that damn girl again. She's such a disgrace..."
The beautiful water receded silently.
It seems that cousin Xiuqing is very ambitious.
However, she did not say much about her attempt to climb the social ladder.
After all, everyone has the idea of pursuing a good life. Can you get a good life by being a concubine in a rich young master's house?
Before the young lady even entered the house, there was a maid blocking the way. Would any ordinary person let that girl go?
After thinking about it, Xiushui pulled the old lady aside and told her what she had just overheard about Sister Xiuqing.
Not far away, Hei Mei glanced at the two of them whispering to each other and pouted.
"You're also partial, humph, I don't want to love you anymore, let alone stinky sister..."
The beautiful hair that had always seemed to have no presence suddenly laughed out loud.
"Sister, why don't you just love me from now on, or love your sister Xiuru, or your sister Xiumei. It's all fine.
Anyway, you don’t love our grandma and sister Xiushui anymore. If you love us, we will love you even more.”
After saying that, she picked up a meat bun. "Here, this is Sister Xiufa's proof of love for you. A bun is enough to prove my true love for you."
The black girl snorted and took a big bite. "No, I don't want to love you, I..."
Then, the little girl rolled her eyes, picked up a meat bun and ran to the old lady.
"Grandma, grandma, your sweetheart is here to bring you some buns."
Wen Bibo took the bun and then hugged the little black girl and gave her a big kiss.
"Oh my, my little darling is the best. I love you."
Brother Hei was satisfied. He gave Xiushui a look that said it was nothing special, then turned around and walked away with a proud look.
"Grandma, what's wrong with my Hei Ge? Why do I feel like she's demonstrating to me?"
"What else can I do? I'm competing for your favor. As an old lady, I'm not only the pillar of stability, but also the apple of the eye of all family members.
Tsk, I'm so old. I never thought that I, an old lady, would become the apple of my family's eye. What a fucked-up life! If I had to live it again, I would definitely be given such a sweet burden.
Um, have you finished talking about the eldest daughter of the third family? "
Xiushui nodded.
"Yes, that's all. Speaking of which, apart from the eldest branch of the family, Sister Xiuqing is the most outstanding one.
Grandma, as the pillar of the Wen family, have you ever thought about what you would do if Sister Qing came back one day?
Although Xiushui was warm to everyone, she was still closest to her grandmother. She also considered Xiuqing, the unstable factor, the most. Now that she knew about this person, she still had to remind the old lady.
"I think you're overthinking it. That girl is so arrogant. If she sets a trap and goes to the Huang family, even if the Huang family is shit, she'll have to kneel down and lick it and eat it up.
You're such a worrywart, you're always worried. Grandma won't have any attitude, we'll talk about it when it really happens."
"That's right, I'm overthinking it. What about the sister from my second uncle's family? Strictly speaking, it was my second uncle's sister Xiu Li who was sacrificed. It's okay if the Butcher Knife family treats her well, but if they don't, my second uncle and aunt will feel guilty to death."
When it comes to the second son's family, the old lady also remains silent.
The original body was also full of guilt towards the eldest girl of the second house.
The girl she trusted most was the most beautiful, filial and obedient.
But such a girl was sold by the old man in a disguised way.
"That girl, we have to take care of her at least. We all escaped, so they should have escaped too.
I wonder if I can run into him along the way? I'll ask around when I get outside the city this afternoon."
Xiushui now understood that the second wife's family had to show sympathy to her two cousins who were sold in disguise.
The third family was left to fend for themselves.
But whether you can meet depends entirely on fate.
After talking about the two cousins, Xiushui was about to go and distribute the money. But then she thought about it and felt that it was not right.
"Grandma, if a normal family sells a girl, ten taels of silver is a lot of money.
How come my sister Xiu Li gave away a hundred taels of silver for the butcher knife she bought as a bride?
