Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

It was the first time that Liu Xu saw her mother in such an awkward state. She was very happy in her heart, but she was her mother after all, so she opened her mouth to help explain:

"Aunt, my mother has been extremely anxious since she heard what grandma said yesterday. She must have been so anxious and busy that she hasn't recovered yet. Hehe, please don't be angry, okay?"

"Haha, yes, big sister, my brain has been a little slow since I got pregnant!" Xu Ruolan replied awkwardly. But it was true. They were mainly asking about the Liu family, so she just briefly talked about her own family.

Liu Xiumei didn't blame her, she just felt sorry for the mother and daughter. Her brother was gone, and the family should have treated her well, but they were treated so harshly, and she almost died... Her mother's temper was really...

If Xu girl wasn’t smart, how sad would her brother be when he came back?

Liu Xiumei's eyes were red as she thought about it. Liu Xu and her mother looked at each other and were about to persuade them when the voice of Mrs. Zhang came from the yard, "Xiumei? Is Xiumei back?"

As soon as the old couple heard the news, they rushed over immediately.

The people in the room had different expressions, but except for the two who were lying down, everyone stood up. Before they could go out, the two old men were led in.

Seeing her daughter who looked ten years older in the room, Mrs. Zhang's voice got stuck in her throat. Her daughter was so pretty, how could she become like this in just half a year? Could it be...

"Liu Laishun, you damned bastard, I promised to treat you well, how could he treat you like this! Even if your brother was conscripted, does that mean there is no one else in our Liu family! You said you were also... bullied and didn't you come back? No matter how much I scold you, I am still your mother, how can I ignore you? You... old man, why are you talking to me!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhang came in, she started talking like crazy. I guess she only saw Liu Xiumei, not to mention the father and son Liu Laishun lying behind her.

Liu Xiumei was confused, Liu Hongying was confused, and Liu Fukang was confused.

Liu Fulin looked at his father's helpless expression and felt a little sympathetic.

Liu Xu and her mother were speechless, but also wanted to laugh!

The room was full of women and half of the men. Liu Dashan was taller, so he naturally saw the two people lying on the bed. But before he could ask, the old woman started to curse...

"Shut up, you haven't figured out the situation yet, what are you talking about? You ignored everything I said to you!" Liu Dashan scolded, feeling speechless about his wife's temper!

The people who were blocking the way slowly moved aside, revealing the father and son lying on the bed. Old Mrs. Zhang had already been scolded by the old man, and now she saw her son-in-law and eldest nephew lying on the bed, and her face was filled with shame.

She was a little stupid, but her son-in-law and eldest nephew had always been very filial to her when they came to visit her in the past, but now they were lying on the bed, and with the lights on in the room, their pale faces were clearly visible. How could she not understand?

The situation was a bit awkward and Liu Xu planned to leave.

"Um... Grandpa and grandma, why don't you guys chat with aunt first and we'll go out first? There's a lot going on at home these days..."

"Go ahead, talk to your aunt and grandpa!" The old man waved his hand and added, "The second son's family, Xu girl, Hongying and Fukang..."

"Grandpa, you guys are chatting. I was just thinking of taking my cousin and little cousin to see our yard!" Liu Xu quickly replied.

"Dad, Mom, your daughter-in-law still needs to ask the housekeeper about what happened at home today. You guys can chat first!" Xu Ruolan took Hao Ge'er from her elder sister-in-law's arms, and led the extra people out, closing the door.

After handing Xu Ge'er to Yue Niang, Liu Xu held one in each hand, pulled her cousin's sleeves and ran away.

It's almost dark, what are you still looking at! Liu Xu took the man to the kitchen, she was hungry!

"Xu'er, my mother and grandpa..." Liu Hongying was a little worried.

Liu Fukang: "Yes, cousin, grandma won't beat my dad, right?"

"Don't worry, don't worry! Didn't you see how worried grandma was about aunt just now? Without the eldest wife's family causing trouble, she is not so confused anymore. Besides, we still have grandpa, so don't worry!" Liu Xu patted their arms and comforted them.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!" He pulled the two men's sleeves and ran to the kitchen.

"Ah? Aren't you waiting for others?" Liu Hongying staggered.

"No need. I guess they'll be away for a while. Let's eat something else first and then we can eat together later!" He had already reached the kitchen door when he finished speaking.

"Granny Fang, Aunt Yan, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

"Yes, yes. We made the stew today and braised a lot of meat! Are these my cousin and my son?" Granny Fang asked lovingly, without any disdain or contempt for Liu Hongying and the other girl's shabby clothes.

"Hello, Granny Fang, Hello, Aunt Yan!" the brother and sister shouted a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, great! Yan Niang, add the firewood and cut some for the young ladies and young masters!" Grandma Fang said happily.

"Okay! Miss, cousin, and young master, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!" In fact, there was no need for Grandma Fang to say anything, as Yan Niang got ready as soon as she heard the young lady say she was hungry.

"Aunt Yan, did Third Brother Chang send butter today?"

"Yes, it's been delivered. It's all refined. It's a big jar. Aunt Fang and I weighed it, and it's more than 30 kilograms!" Yan Niang replied while washing her hands.

"Oh, Miss, Young Master Chang has sent over 20 kilograms of beef. We braised some for you, and there are still more than 10 kilograms left!"

"It has to be Third Brother Chang. Why haven't I seen him buying beef before!" Ever since her family became better off, she had thought about eating beef. However, oxen are protected by law in Dongsheng Country, and those who slaughter oxen without reason will be sent to jail.

If you want to eat beef, you have to wait for the cow to die naturally, or wait for the cow to be injured and cannot be cured before you can get approval from the government. So if ordinary people want to buy beef, they have to rely on luck.

She was unlucky and never encountered one.

"Oh my lady, those beefs would never be brought to the market to be sold. They were divided up on the spot by the wealthy families!" Granny Fang continued.

"Miss, do you want to eat here, or should I bring it to you inside?" Yan Niang quickly cut a large plate of beef, pork and chicken!

"Let's eat here, Granny Fang. Please make two more light and soft dishes. Grandpa and grandma are eating here too, and my uncle is not suited to heavy food."

As Liu Xu spoke, she asked Liu Hongying and her brother to sit down. There were two small tables in the kitchen, which were used by the servants to eat when they took turns.

"Hey, I understand!"

"Miss, cousin, young master, you eat first. If it's not enough, call me and I will cut more for you!" Yan Niang said as she brought them bowls and chopsticks.

Liu Xu: "Yeah, thank you Aunt Yan, you can go and get busy!"

"Thank you, Aunt Yan!" "Thank you, Aunt Yan!"

"Come on, cousin, try it. This is our family's specialty braised meat. You can't get it outside!" Liu Xu said as she served the meat to the two of them.

Seeing the three people eating happily, Yan Niang smiled and turned around to get busy!

The three siblings were eating happily in the kitchen, while Xu Ruolan went to find Zi Ling and Uncle He to find out what happened at home and in the workshop today.

In the west room of the main house, Liu Xiumei told the two elders what had happened in the family over the past six months. Old Mrs. Zhang cursed as she listened.

"Why didn't God send down a few thunderbolts to kill these damned bastards? My poor Fulin is still so young, what will he do in the future?"

"No, we can't just let it go like this! Old man, isn't the second brother's family a high-ranking official? And Xu girl is familiar with that young master Chang and that young marquis. Let them find someone to help Xiumei's family get revenge! They should fight back the way they beat Fulin and Laishun!" Old Lady Zhang said in a burst of words.

"Mom, no... How can we let my brother and sister-in-law interfere in our family affairs!"

"Nonsense, you don't understand anything, just talking nonsense!"

Liu Dashan was also angry and felt sorry for his son-in-law and eldest nephew. He had thought about this before. Not to mention whether Xu Yatou would agree, he didn't know what would happen between their family and the Xu family now. If they rashly let the second son's family go to the Xu family, the Xu family would be even more dissatisfied with their own family. If they took the second son's family away, the second son would hate them to death when he came back!

"Then, what do you say we should do?" muttered Old Lady Zhang.

"Xiumei, since Miss Xu asked you to come back to heal your wounds, you should go ahead and heal them first and see what Doctor Meng says later. As for whether to seek revenge or not, I will ask Miss Xu what she plans to do later!"

"I'm already very grateful to Dad, Mom, and my sister-in-law for taking us back to treat our injuries. We shouldn't push them too far!" Liu Xiumei quickly stopped them.

"Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on! Besides, even if we don't tell her, with Xu's temper, she won't ignore it. You guys don't understand her. That girl has her own ideas!" Liu Dashan is now very satisfied with this little granddaughter, and sometimes even a little scared of her.

"Your father is right. Even though she is young and smiling all day, she is very scary when she gets angry. She doesn't recognize any relatives, even me..."

"Shut up! She's your granddaughter, and you keep talking nonsense all day long! If this gets out and ruins Xu's reputation, you'd better go back to your parents' home!" Liu Dashan scolded his wife harshly when he saw that his wife was confused again.

"This, this is because there are no outsiders here, and I didn't say anything wrong..." Old Lady Zhang retorted in a low voice, but when she saw the old man glaring at her again, she quickly shut up.

Liu Xiumei's family of three were extremely surprised. You know, although their father (father-in-law) (grandfather) did not despise them before, that was all. They had only seen this kind of favoritism and praise towards Liu Chengming.

And there's my own mother (mother-in-law) (grandmother). If it weren't for the previous scolding, they would all suspect that the person was switched. The old lady has always been amazingly combative, the kind of person who will always find some reason even when being unreasonable. But now she's so... um, reasonable?

The surprise in the eyes of the three people was about to overflow, and the old couple was rarely embarrassed.

"Well, let's stop talking. I'll go see if the meal is ready. It's getting dark now." Liu Dashan pretended to cough, opened the door, put his hands behind his back and went out.

In the east room, Huanxi was guarding the door. When he heard the door open, he hurried back to report.

So, just as the old man came out, Xu Ruolan also came out, "Dad, is it time to serve the meal?"

Liu Dashan was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was time to eat. He thought to himself, this second brother's family is indeed from a wealthy family. In the past, they would just call for dinner, but now they would serve the meal.

The old man coughed dryly and said, "Go ahead, eat and have a rest early!"

Huanxi and Zimo bowed and retreated after hearing this.
