Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

The funeral of Niu Fusheng and Li Lihua was held quickly. The villagers notified Li Lihua's family, but they were too cowardly to come.

Niu Er wanted to just give up coming, but Xie Jiaojiao gave him a suggestion: "Just report her family to the government. Erbao will need money wherever he goes when he follows you. Although you are making money now, any money you can bring back is good. Even if you use the money you bring back to buy land for Erbao, he will have some assets when he grows up."

After listening to Xie Jiaojiao's words, Sun Ruhua nodded and said, "That's right, Niu Er, that's all your father's hard-earned money."

Niu Er hesitated: "Xie Xiaogu, can we get back the money we took out?"

Xie Jiaojiao glanced at him and said, "Of course I can. It just so happens that I have been back for so many days. Tomorrow we will go to Jiangbo City with you."

If Xie Jiaojiao could accompany him, Niu Er would naturally dare to go.

"Then I'll listen to Aunt Xie. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

On his way back, Niu Er saw Niu Erbao sitting in front of his thatched house, so he walked up to him and said, "Let's go home with brother."

Niu Erbao raised his head, his eyes suddenly reddened: "Brother, will our parents never come back?"

Niu Er picked him up and said, "From now on, just follow me. As long as I have something to eat, I will never let you go hungry."

Niu Erbao buried his head in his neck and sobbed.

When we got home, Niu Erbao had already fallen asleep from crying.

Wang Xiuer had already cleaned up a room. He put Niu Erbao on the bed and then pulled Wang Xiuer out.

A little embarrassed: "Xiu'er, Erbao, you can only follow us from now on."

After saying this, he looked at Wang Xiuer, afraid that she might have some estrangement in her heart.

But Wang Xiuer smiled and took his hand: "I know, Erbao only has you as his relative now. If we don't take care of him, who will? Besides, our family is so big. After grandma passed away, the family is really deserted. One more person will make it more lively."

These words she said made my heart warm: "Xiu'er, you are so kind."

Wang Xiuer blushed: "Okay, it's getting late, I'll go cook."

"I'll help you."

When they got to the kitchen, Niu Er told Wang Xiuer about Xie Jiaojiao asking him to go and sue Li Lihua's family. Wang Xiuer listened and nodded: "Xie Xiaogu asked you to go, so you should go. I also think that we can't let that heartless family get away with it for nothing."

Niu Er nodded: "Tomorrow, I will take Erbao with me. I will have to trouble you at home."

"What are you talking about? We are a family, it's not a big deal." Wang Xiuer said as she added water into the pot.

.......

The next morning, Niu Er carried Niu Erbao to Xie Jiaojiao's house.

When Sun Ruhua saw it, she hurriedly asked them if they had eaten.

"Grandma Sun, we've eaten."

Sun Ruhua still pulled the two of them into the house and gave each of them a steamed bun.

After breakfast, the group set off.

In the carriage, Niu Er asked Niu Erbao: "Have you remembered everything that Big Brother taught you?"

Niu Erbao nodded: "I remember it."

Niu Er touched his head.

When they arrived at the county town, Jiang Weinan took Xiaoxiao home, while Xie Jiaojiao took the two brothers directly to the county government office.

When the county magistrate heard that it was Xie Jiaojiao who came, he came out to greet her in person.

People outside didn't know, but he, as an official, knew that Xie Jiaojiao was not only a first-rank lady, but her husband's family also had the backing of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the support of the Empress Dowager. He had to respect them.

The new county magistrate came forward and said, "I am Liu Yingde, your humble servant. I am here to greet you, Madam. Is there anything you want me to do for you today?"

His appearance frightened Xie Jiaojiao, but she remained calm.

"There's no need for empty formalities, County Magistrate Liu. I came here today for nothing else. This is our village..."

Then he briefly explained the process.

When County Magistrate Liu heard this, he said angrily, "How could such a thing exist?"

"Madam, please don't worry. I will send someone to pass the message right away."

After saying that, he turned around and asked Niu Er where Li Lihua's parents lived. When the lawyer next to him heard it, he turned around and went to make arrangements.

"It will probably take two hours to bring this person here. Madam, are you waiting at the county government office?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "Since we have to wait for several hours, we will not bother the county magistrate. If someone comes again, the county magistrate can go to the Jiang Mansion in the east of the city to inform them."

Magistrate Liu nodded and personally escorted them out.

Xie Jiaojiao was fine. Niu Er was simply flattered. He didn't expect that little aunt Xie was so powerful now that even the county magistrate had to give her face.

Lai Fu was waiting outside the county government office in his carriage.

The group went home first.

Niu Er looked at the magnificent mansion with longing in his eyes.

Xie Jiaojiao said to Lai Fu: "Let's go and invite Tian Hu and Grandma Tian to dinner today."

"Yes, young lady."

Ever since Wang Po passed away, Tian Hu brought his grandmother to the city. After all, his grandmother was old and needed someone to take care of her. He kept her by her side so that she could be taken care of if anything happened.

As soon as Xie Jiaojiao returned home, she was busy looking at the recent account book, leaving Niu Er and Niu Erbao to play at home by themselves.

When Xie Jiaojiao returned to the room, Steward Wang came over and said, "Madam, Manager Gu said he would come over tomorrow to check the account books for these days with you."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded and flipped open an account book: "I see we opened some more branches this year?"

Steward Wang shook his head: "There are also some accounts of shops that the old master gave to our young lady."

To her surprise, some of the stores looked unfamiliar.

"So that's it, then I understand."

Manager Wang listened, and when he saw that Xie Jiaojiao had no other instructions, he left.

Xie Jiaojiao was in the room. She went out only after she saw the servant coming to call her for lunch.

Tian Hu and Niu Er were chatting outside. Tian Hu's grandmother lamented that Li Lihua was so cruel. She hugged Niu Erbao with red eyes.

Niu Erbao even wiped her tears considerately: "Grandma Tian, ​​don't cry."

When everyone saw Xie Jiaojiao coming, they hurriedly greeted her.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at Tian Hu and said with a smile: "It's been more than half a year since we last met. Our Tian Hu can run a business on his own now. I just looked at the account book you made, it's very good."

Tian Hu was very happy to receive Xie Jiaojiao's praise, and said modestly: "It's all thanks to Grandpa Wang's good teaching."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded and asked him to sit down quickly.

Jiang Weinan pinched Xie Jiaojiao and glared at her.

Xie Jiaojiao was speechless. It was just a polite remark. Why was he jealous?

Tian Hu couldn't help but look at Xie Jiaojiao. Seeing her and Jiang Weinan flirting in front of everyone, a sense of loss flashed through his heart.

The matter was discussed again at the dinner table.

Grandma Tian responded, "When the time comes, we'll need a witness. Grandma Tian will be your brother's witness."

Niu Er nodded.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll make that family pay today."

After dinner, the servants were clearing up the dishes when people from the county government came to report that the person had been arrested.
