I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The old lady could no longer sit still and could only lean on the quilt, her eyes cloudy and empty.

"Madam, Xiaobei is here to see you!"

Nanny Zhang put down the bowl and said.

"What do you think I should do?" the old lady suddenly said.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and held her hand: "What should we do? Eat more..."

The old lady nodded weakly, and uttered a few words from her dry mouth: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"I'm not tired, it's Aunt Zhang who is tired. If you eat more, we will feel relieved."

"Who are you?" Old Mrs. Fu pulled back her hand and asked in a low voice.

"I, I'm Ji Xiaobei, I live in the courtyard next door..."

Ji Xiaobei's eyes felt hot, the old lady was no longer in her right mind.

"Who are you?" She turned to Nanny Zhang.

Aunt Zhang's tears suddenly filled her eyes.

"Madam, I'm Aunt Zhang!"

Nanny Zhang said with sobs.

"Oh..." The old lady lowered her head again and said nothing.

Ji Xiaobei came out of the room and comforted Nanny Zhang for a while.

It seems that the old lady may not survive this winter.

The day when Mrs. Lin asked someone to look at the stone was October 8th.

She was really afraid that Shitou's wedding and the old lady's affairs would coincide with each other.

Aunt Song and Second Wife Ji took care of the clothes and bedding for the wedding, so Ji Xiaobei didn't have to worry about it.

She drove Ji Decai to the south city to find Liang Yuyao.

She asked Liang Yuyao if she wanted to talk to her family.

Liang Yu bit his lip and thought for a long time.

Ji Xiaobei said: "Don't worry, tell me when you've made up your mind, and I'll go to your house to propose marriage!"

Liang Yuyao seemed to have made up his mind and said, "No need, just inform Yuhui, he is my only relative."

Ji Xiaobei nodded, she would listen to Yu Yao.

"You can get married at the manor, and then you can live there for a while. You two don't have to worry about what's going on here. Just take a good rest for a while."

"Sister Xiaobei, the manor is yours, how can Shitou and I live here!"

Liang Yuyao declined hastily, she had never thought of owning the manor.

Governor Liang sold it to Ji Xiaobei, and the manor now belongs to Ji Xiaobei.

"Yuyao, listen to me. Now that you have entered our Ji family, the manor is mine and yours. Why can't you live there? Besides, the manor is your mother's dowry. Your mother in heaven will be happy to see that you are doing well."

Ji Xiaobei stared into Yu Yao's eyes and said.

Tears welled up in Yu Yao's eyes.

"I listen to my sister!"

"Okay, mother and I are preparing the things for the wedding. It may be too late for you to sew the wedding dress yourself, so I asked Xiao Qi Niang to sew one for you. I don't know if you like it. When you have time, go over there and take a look."

"Thank you sister!"

……

Time passed quickly and the potatoes on the West Hill grew well.

Fortunately, there were several autumn rains, which moistened the potatoes in the fields.

According to Yu Yao's wishes, the invitation was sent to her grandmother's home in Xuanhua Prefecture.

Stone counts the days every day.

One day, Ji Xiaobei was hanging new bedding in the yard.

A carriage came to the door.

A middle-aged man and a gentle young man got out of the car.

When Ji Xiaobei went out, she felt that the young man looked familiar, and she looked at his face carefully again.

Isn’t this Liang Yuyao’s cousin, Bai Jiantang?

Both of them looked unhappy.

"Are you from the Ji family?" the middle-aged man asked with disdain in his tone.

"Yes, I'm Ji Xiaobei. May I ask who you are..." Ji Xiaobei pretended not to recognize him.

"I am Liang Yuyao's uncle!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Bai!"

When Ji Xiaobei saw Bai Jiantang's face standing aside, he felt a pain in his heart and thought of the Strait.

If Haixia had not been trying to save Bai Jiantang, he would not have…

If Haixia had not been so infatuated with Miss Liang, he would not have risked his life to save Bai Jiantang.

If I hadn't taken Haixia to Dongcheng, I wouldn't have encountered the refugees.

Ji Xiaobei secretly concealed his emotions.

Bai Jiantang nodded and bowed to Ji Xiaobei.

He was grateful to Ji Xiaobei for saving him.

And the dead Malacca.

He was grateful, but he was shocked to hear that his cousin Yuyao was going to marry a peasant named Shitou.

I feel that my cousin has no one to rely on and must have been coerced by the Ji family.

He and his father hurried over to take his cousin away.

"Uncle Bai, Mr. Bai, please come in!"

Ji Xiaobei politely said that Shitou and Yuyao would get married soon, and they would become relatives with the Bai family.

This relationship still needs to be acknowledged.

Bai Meng said angrily: "I want to see Yu Yao!"

Ji Xiaobei was a little confused when he saw that the two people came with bad intentions.

After Haixia passed away, people from the Bai family came, kowtowed to Haixia's mother, and returned silver.

Not an unreasonable person.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Uncle Bai, you must have had a hard time on the journey. Come in and have some water. I'll send someone to call Yuyao over right away."

Bai Meng looked at Ji Xiaobei's smiling face, and it was like a hard fist hitting cotton.

He flicked his sleeves and went into the yard.

Bai Jiantang also quickly followed in.

Mrs. Lin heard the sound and came out of the kitchen. She was startled and looked at Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei quickly introduced: "This is my mother, and this is my uncle from the Bai family, Mr. Bai, who came from Xuanhua Prefecture."

When Mrs. Lin saw the expressions of the two people, her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly said, "Uncle Bai, please come in!"

Bai Meng looked around. The courtyard was quite shabby, with a farmhouse atmosphere.

He snorted lightly and walked into the hall.

Mrs. Lin sat on the stool with him, straightened her back and said, "Uncle Bai, are you here for Miss Liang's wedding?"

Bai Meng snorted and said, "My niece has the support of her family. She is not a child without someone to take care of her. Who did you discuss the marriage with, Madam, and then arranged the marriage for the two of them?"

Mrs. Lin had long thought that this day would come.

She cleared her throat and smiled, "Uncle Bai, Yuyao suffered a lot in the Liang family. I remember the day my son Shitou rescued her, she was sent to the official's house in the capital... halfway through the journey, the carriage got startled and fell into the water."

Mrs. Lin's words made Bai Meng feel a little embarrassed.

Her meaning was very clear. She was clearly asking, where were you when Yu Yao was in trouble?

Seeing that Bai Meng didn't say anything, Mrs. Lin continued with a smile, "Later, Yuyao's father wanted to tie her up and take her back. Yuyao cut off one of her legs to repay her father for raising her. Fortunately, her bones were not injured. It took half a year to heal. The child still walks with a limp now. What a miserable child."

Bai Meng didn't know this and was shocked.

Bai Jiantang looked at Mrs. Lin in disbelief.

Bai Meng understood that Yu Yao had always been taken care of by the Ji family. He softened his tone and said, "My niece lost her mother when she was very young, and she suffered so much when she grew up. As her uncle, I cannot bear to see her continue to suffer."

Mrs. Lin cursed him in her heart: How do you know that marrying a stone means suffering?

It's just that you feel that they are not a good match.
