Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 149 'Abandoning Husband and Children'

When Zhou Xiaoxi and Baili Nanqing returned to the main room again, Zhao and Li were already waiting.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoxi's tightly held hand, Li felt mixed emotions. The child finally met her biological mother, and she should have been happy for her, but she felt bitter in her heart.

Holding back the tears that were about to burst out, Li said:

"Xiaoxi, is this your mother?"

Baili Nanqing knelt down in front of Zhao's mother and daughter without saying a word, scaring the two of them so much that they immediately stood up from their stools.

"Madam, please stand up quickly. You are of noble status and we country women cannot bear to do that to you!" Zhao said as she tried to pull Baili Nanqing up from the ground. Unexpectedly, neither she nor Li succeeded.

Yang Zian and Fu Qiuyang were not in a position to help, so they had to stand up and move away, while Zhou Xiaoxi next to them also knelt down.

Baili Nanqing kowtowed three times very seriously before standing up and saying:

"You saved my daughter and raised her carefully for twelve years. Whatever I do is my duty. I will never forget your kindness!"

Shangguan Lan had already described in detail all the circumstances of the Zhao family in the letter, so Baili Nanqing was speaking very sincerely.

This family is all kind-hearted, so there is no need to say any polite words. The best thing to do is to treat others with sincerity.

Li smiled bitterly:

"You don't have to be like this. Xiaoxi has been a well-behaved and capable child since she was young. It was a very happy thing for me to bring her home and raise her by my side. I have to thank you for giving birth to such a good daughter. Without Xiaoxi, I don't know if our family can survive until now. So, don't feel that you owe anything. It's hard to tell who owes whom."

Zhao also echoed:

"I love Xiaoxi from the bottom of my heart. As long as she is willing, I will always be her loving grandmother."

There was a deep meaning behind Zhao's words. She was reluctant to see Xiaoxi leave, but she couldn't stop her.

How could Zhou Xiaoxi not hear it, and immediately said:

"Grandma, you will always be my most beloved elder. Unless you don't want me anymore, I will never leave you!"

As she spoke, she looked at Baili Nanqing again.

"Mother, I have already told my second brother that I will not go back to the capital with you in the short term. I have gotten used to life in the countryside, and more importantly, there are many things waiting for me to do here. The capital is too far away and unfamiliar to me."

Baili Nanqing already knew her daughter's thoughts from her son's letter. Now that she heard it with her own ears, she still felt upset.

She understands.

The child left home at such a young age, and they were strangers to her. Moreover, the daughter did not covet fame and wealth, which showed that the family raised her well.

You should be relieved.

"Child, I respect your decision, even if... even if you never come home, I can accept it. As long as you live well, this is more important than anything else. Oh, by the way, I love the scenery here very much, why don't you buy a piece of land and build a house. I'll live here and go back to the capital once in a while!"

Baili Nanqing was originally very upset, but suddenly she felt relieved after thinking of this method. The sons are all grown up and will soon be old enough to get married.

They must be so happy that the future mother-in-law is not hanging around their daughter-in-law!

As for my man, he wishes he could live in the Imperial College. I am dispensable to him. Humph!

Thinking this way, it was her precious daughter who needed her company the most. There was nothing to say, she had to build this house herself!

Shangguan Chong, who was busy with his schoolwork in Beijing, suddenly felt his right eyelid twitching wildly, which made him panic. He didn't know what his wife was like and whether she had seen her daughter.

Alas, I have not been able to be with my wife. I have been unable to sleep at night and have lost my appetite during this period!

How could he have imagined that in the near future he would have to travel thousands of miles to chase his wife!

Let’s talk about Zhou Xiaoxi.

Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw Baili Nanqing decided to abandon her husband and children and only want to be with her daughter after just a few words.

This is too ridiculous, how is it possible!

"Madam Baili, I have something to say. If the people in the capital knew about this, they probably wouldn't agree with you doing this, right? Don't take Xiaoxi's childish words seriously. It's not reasonable to leave your relatives in the capital without paying any attention to them. She will have to go back sooner or later."

"Mom!" "Grandma!"

Zhou Xiaoxi and Li spoke at the same time, their tone full of anxiety.

It would be fine if Xiaoxi voluntarily returned to the capital, but since she didn't want to leave, Li was reluctant to give her daughter to someone else!

Zhao stretched out her hand to signal the two to stay calm, and continued:

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Xiaoxi, I am very pleased that you are not greedy for wealth and are willing to recognize us as your family. But Madam Shangguan is your biological mother, and it is your duty to recognize your ancestors. Besides, grandma has always felt that you are destined to be extraordinary, and you can't be trapped in this small Xiangxue Village!"

How could you break her wings just because you like this child? Even if Zhao was heartbroken, she couldn't be so selfish.

Baili Nanqing listened quietly the whole time. No matter what her daughter's final decision was, she would fully support it.

Zhou Xiaoxi was silent for a while before speaking:

"Grandma, even if I leave here one day in the future, I will definitely take you, mother, and sister with me. Besides, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want my family to live in harmony and happiness. I don't ask for anything rich or famous."

As for the neglected Li Dali family, they have their own lives to live and do not need Zhou Xiaoxi to worry about them. Besides, the whole village still depends on them.

Baili Nanqing immediately said:

"Don't worry, Yue'er. Mother will never stop you. On the contrary, I will do my best to help you. So for this house, I have to find the best craftsmen and make it beautiful!"

Well, if you have money you can do whatever you want, just build it!

Li Shoucai was only happy that he could sell land again.

Since the real owner was not in a hurry to take his daughter back, the Zhao mother and daughter were even less anxious. The three of them began to chat about family matters, and of course, the topic could not avoid Zhou Xiaoxi.

Yang Zian and Fu Qiuyang finally had the opportunity to discuss serious matters with Zhou Xiaoxi, and the three of them went directly to the inn.

They happened to meet Zhang Danniu along the way, and Zhou Xiaoxi and the other two went over to check the results.

Due to limited conditions, it is not possible to create a unique shape like Zhou Xiaoxi's previous life, but it is already very pleasing to the eyes of the villagers.

In the middle of the open space, thick wooden stakes were stacked from high to low to form a circular staircase, and pots of spherical Oxalis were placed on top. If you look down from above, you can see circles of wreaths.

If you stand at a distance and watch, the scenery is also very touching.

Zhang Danniu looked at Zhou Xiaoxi a little nervously, her eyes full of anticipation.

Zhou Xiaoxi's expression was also very direct. She gave the girl a big hug and said happily:

"Sister Big Girl, you are so capable. You are really my right-hand man! I will give you an extra chicken drumstick tonight!"

Zhang Danniu's heart feels sweeter than eating honey!

She secretly encouraged herself to work harder and become Xiaoxi's right-hand man.

In this way, no matter where the stream goes, it will not be willing to leave itself behind!
