Xie Jiaojiao dropped the knife and immediately ran back into the house.

Then I saw Xie Zhiyi and Sun Ruhua pulling each other.

Sun Ruhua's face was full of tears: "Give it to me, let me go!"

Xie Jiaojiao rushed over and snatched the rat poison from the two men's hands.

"Mom, what are you doing again!"

"Jiaojiao, Mommy doesn't want to live anymore. Zhou Cuihong is right. It's all Mommy's fault!"

Xie Zhiyi also cried and hugged Sun Ruhua.

Xie Jiaojiao was really overwhelmed after listening and watching!

"You knew that Zhou Cuihong said that on purpose, so why did you still fall for her trick?"

Sun Ruhua cried and shook her head: "As long as mother is gone, they will have no excuse to trouble you!"

"Am I the type who is afraid of trouble? Or does my mother really think that I was the one who drove Xie Zhishu's family away and she holds a grudge against me?"

Sun Ruhua widened her eyes and shook her head hastily to deny: "Jiaojiao, mother didn't!"

"If not, then mother thinks that Zhiyi and I are not as important as those few words Zhou Cuihong said?"

Sun Ruhua shook her head without saying anything, just crying.

Xie Jiaojiao put the rat poison into her bag, squatted in front of Sun Ruhua, held Sun Ruhua's hand and asked, "Don't you want to see me get married? Don't you want to see Zhiyi grow up?"

"Mother wants to!"

"If you want to, you shouldn't seek death! Have you forgotten what you promised me last time?"

Xie Zhiyi also cried and said, "You promised me and my sister last time that you must live well for our sake! Mom, don't be upset. The rabbits I raised have given birth to babies. When their babies grow up, I will let my sister sell them for silver. I haven't bought you new clothes or a silver bracelet yet! Please don't die! Woo woo..."

Xie Zhiyi cried so hard that Sun Ruhua couldn't stop crying when she saw him crying.

Xie Jiaojiao hugged them both in her arms. They were her only two relatives in this world.

Sun Ruhua didn't eat that night. Xie Jiaojiao was afraid that she would be upset again, so she accompanied Sun Ruhua to sleep that night.

The next morning, Sun Ruhua got up early, and Xie Jiaojiao woke up as soon as she moved.

Sun Ruhua forced a smile and said, "Mom, get up and make breakfast."

Xie Jiaojiao held her hand, and Sun Ruhua gently patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, mother won't commit suicide again. Our lives are getting better and better, and mother won't be so depressed."

After hearing her words, Xie Jiaojiao finally felt relieved.

He also stood up and said, "I will go check those two acres of sugarcane fields later to see which places are vacant and fill them with our remaining seeds."

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Xie Jiaojiao had been busy in the fields for a few days, doing everything herself.

Of course, Sun Ruhua also helped a lot.

Many people in the village looked with envy at the people who had helped Xie Jiaojiao grow sugarcane at home. When they asked, Xie Jiaojiao just said that they didn't plant it anymore.

Because of this, it seems that the He family has closed the door and beaten their own daughter-in-law again...

When everything was done, it started to rain. Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua quickly put the lid on the soy sauce.

The family sat under the eaves and watched the rain.

It's a rare chance to relax.

The rain was heavy and water soon accumulated in the yard.

Every autumn rain brings a chill, and this winter will only get colder. Winters in the south are always cold, damp and gloomy.

Sun Ruhua put the buckets and basins in the house under the eaves to collect water, which she could use to wash clothes when the time came, saving her the trouble of going to the river.

Once the rain starts, it's not easy to stop. The house they live in is a thatched house. The rain keeps falling and there are leaks in several places in the house.

Sun Ruhua found something to catch the water leaking from the house.

Busy and confused.

"When the weather clears up tomorrow, I'll find someone to fix the roof!"

We hired someone to repair it once this summer.

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, thinking to herself, I have to hurry up and make money to repair the house!

The soy sauce business made quite a bit of money in the past few months, and Xie Jiaojiao saved quite a bit of it.

"If the rain stops, tomorrow I'll bring a piece of brown sugar and go to town to find a way to sell it for us."

Sun Ruhua nodded.

Xie Jiaojiao turned around and touched Xie Zhiyi's head: "When the time comes, I'll buy two new sets of clothes for our Zhiyi."

Xie Zhiyi said, "I have clothes to wear."

Sun Ruhua smiled and said, "Last year's ones are no longer wearable!"

The whole family is having a great time...

On the other side, Jiang Weinan was sitting in a restaurant, looking at the heavy rain outside.

Shopkeeper Chen came up and asked respectfully, "Master, do you need me to prepare a carriage to take you back home?"

Jiang Weinan waved his hand, meaning no need.

Shopkeeper Chen was about to leave when Jiang Weinan called out to him, "Uncle Chen, how long has Xie Jiaojiao not been here?"

what?

Why is this young master asking this?

But he hasn't spoken yet.

Jiang Weinan coughed twice: "Well, well, I mean, haven't we done business with her family? How long has it been since she sent anything? Doesn't this affect our business?"

That stinky girl hasn't come to his house since she came to him to break off the engagement last time. Does she want him to go find her? Or does she really want to marry him?

Shopkeeper Chen frowned, somewhat speechless: When have you ever cared about your family's business? Don't you wish that the restaurant's business would be bad? Didn't you always say that you wanted to bring down the Jiang family?

"Shopkeeper Chen?" Jiang Weinan called out when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Oh! Miss Xie has been a bit busy lately."

After Manager Chen finished speaking, he said nothing else.

Jiang Weinan didn't understand anything and let him go.

The rain stopped in the evening and I returned home.

Lai Fu looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Master, you don't seem to be in a good mood recently!"

Jiang Weinan didn't answer, and Lai Fu changed his coat for him.

"Master, are you still unhappy about your marriage?"

Jiang Weinan glanced at him.

Lai Fu continued, "Since the young master doesn't want to get married, I think it would be better to write a letter to the old master and ask him to tell the master to cancel the marriage for you!"

Steward Wang happened to hear this and immediately shouted, "Laifu! Who told you to discuss the master's affairs?"

Lai Fu immediately shut up and walked out.

Seeing Lai Fu leave, Jiang Weinan asked, "Did Grandpa write to me?"

Manager Wang nodded, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Weinan.

Jiang Weinan opened it and frowned immediately: "Did you tell this old man about my engagement?"

Steward Wang nodded and said, "The last time Miss Xie came, I saw that the young master didn't want to pay attention to her. I knew that the young master must be displeased with Miss Xie, so I wrote a letter to tell the old master to ask him to help the young master get justice. However, the fact that this woman was rejected still has some impact."

Jiang Weinan had a lot of words stuck in his throat.

He had no choice but to let Manager Wang leave. As soon as he left, he kicked the chair and grimaced in pain.

Could it be that the naughty girl Xie Jiaojiao was really waiting at home for him to cancel the engagement?
