Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The next day, the weather was fine. Liu Xu got up early and prepared the meal. She sent it to Liu Dashan and his wife first, and then took her and her mother's portion back home.

Xu Ruolan is still resting now because she has to get up at night to take care of the two little ones.

Liu Xu saw it but didn't bother me. He covered the food and quietly started to clean up.

The mother and daughter didn't have many things. They originally had a few sets of clothes each, all bought when her father was still alive. In addition, Chen Lan had also given them a few thin shirts, so they packed up easily.

The remaining items were bedding, beds, boxes, and tables. Although they were all old items, there was nothing in the old house, so they had to be taken with them.

She also carried the silver notes that Chang the shopkeeper gave her with her, and there were more than 40 taels of silver and copper coins. Fortunately, she exchanged most of them for silver, so they were not heavy. In order to prevent her grandmother and the eldest wife's family from having a seizure, she sewed a large bag to store it, and then took apart the quilt, put it in, and sewed it up.

When Xu Ruolan woke up, half an hour had passed and it was already dawn.

After feeding the two little ones, the mother and daughter ate their meal quickly.

During this time, Xu Ruolan asked how to take the money away, and Liu Xu told her what she had done. Seeing her relieved look, Liu Xu couldn't help but laugh, her mother was also a bit obsessed with money.

Soon, Chen Lan arrived with Xing'er and Shuisheng, and Zhuang arrived with Tieniu and Tiedan.

Seeing that they had almost packed up their own things, they began to help move things in the house. Xu Ruolan had just given birth, so she was wrapped up tightly by Chen Lan and arranged to wait for them outside the house. During this period, as long as you are in confinement, no matter what season it is, you are not allowed to see the wind, and you are not allowed to take a bath or wash your hair.

Xu Ruolan also knew that she could not help at all, so she just sat there quietly, holding her two children.

In the yard, Chen Shuman came over at some point and saw Liu Xu and his group moving things in a lively manner. She couldn't help but said to Xu Ruolan in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, sister-in-law, it's different now that you have two sons. You dare to challenge your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I don't know how long your two precious darlings can let you show off!"

The meaning of these words was a bit vicious. Xu Ruolan was so angry that her chest felt stuffy. She tried to calm herself down:

"Don't worry about it, sister-in-law. If you have time, you should discipline him. He is so young and steals things. He also confuses right and wrong and frames others. If you don't correct the mistakes, who knows what trouble he will cause in the future."

"Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!" Chen Shuman said as she was about to raise her hand to slap Xu Ruolan.

However, the slap was stopped halfway through.

Chen Lan threw her hand away. "Sister Chen, you've really had enough. I heard that your eldest family had harmed Ruolan and her daughter before, but I didn't quite believe it. Now it seems to be true! All the people in their family who were bullied by you have been divided up, and you still won't let them go. Do you really want to kill them all and take over all the property?"

Chen Lan's words were so venomous that Chen Shuman's eyes turned red with anger:

"Chen Lan, what nonsense are you talking about! When did our family bully them? Don't talk nonsense."

"Heh, then what were you doing just now? Did Ruolan provoke you by sitting here? Do you want to hit her right away?"

The quarrel in the yard brought out the old couple Liu Dashan.

"What are you making so much noise for? It's so early in the morning. Can't people live in peace?" Old Mrs. Zhang's voice came before she even arrived.

"Uncle, aunt!"

"Father, mother!"

Chen Lan and Xu Ruolan took the initiative to greet them. Liu Dashan frowned and looked at them and asked in a deep voice:

"What's going on!"

Liu Xu and a few others heard the noise and gathered over.

"Uncle, aunt, is this Sister Chen used to bullying people? Ruolan was sitting here with her child, and she came over and started hitting me without provoking me. If I hadn't seen and stopped her, she would have been slapped to the ground." Chen Lan told Ruolan what she had just seen in a burst of words.

Liu Xu was furious when she heard this and rushed to Chen Shuman:

"Aunt, what is wrong with my family that bothers you? You have been wanting to bully us since we were young! Why, you are not happy that you didn't kill us, right?"

"Grandpa, grandma, did you see that? It's not that I'm unfilial and have to separate, but some people just can't tolerate us. If Grandpa hadn't agreed to separate the family yesterday, our family might have been killed in this house at any time."

"Nonsense, Chen, go back to the house." Liu Dashan yelled at Chen Shuman, and even Mrs. Zhang frowned. She didn't like Liu Xu and her mother, and she often yelled at them, but she never really wanted to kill them. So when she heard Liu Xu say that, she couldn't help but doubt it.

"Dad, Mom, I didn't, I just..."

"That's enough, go back to your room." Chen Shuman wanted to explain but was interrupted by Old Lady Zhang.

"Grandpa, grandma, you're out now, so I won't have to make another trip. We've packed up everything in the house, and if you can find the rest, please point it out to me and I'll move it over and take it away with me later."

After watching Chen Shuman leave, Liu Xu said to the old couple, "Now that there are outsiders here, they should sort things out quickly. Otherwise, given her grandmother's temper, there might be trouble again."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan motioned to his wife to divide the money. Then he turned to Liu Xu and asked:

"Xu girl, the old house has been in disrepair for a long time. Are you just going to move there directly?"

"Ah? It's okay, Grandpa. We can move there first now, and then ask Uncle Shun and others to help with the renovations." In fact, the truth was, Liu Xu had never thought of going here at all and thought she could live there once she moved there.

"Uncle, don't worry, my head of the family has already gone to help with the repairs!" Zhuang said with a smile.

"Haha, what a coincidence, my husband has been there too. Maybe it will be fixed by the time we get there!"

Chen Lan and Zhuang's words made Liu Xu and Xu Ruolan feel warm in their hearts, and they thanked them repeatedly.

Liu Dashan also nodded and said thank you for your hard work.

"Grandpa, after Xu'er moves away, if you miss her, come and see me anytime. I'll cook for you."

The old man was a nice guy, although a little biased, but generally he was good. After all, no one was perfect. Since his division of the family property was fair, she didn't mind being nicer to him in the future. As for her grandmother, she would talk about it when she stopped being a demon.

"By the way, Grandpa, you haven't seen my older brother and younger brother yet!" Liu Xu said, turning around and picking one up from her mother's arms, and pulling her mother back to Liu Dashan.

"Grandpa, look, the one in my arms is my oldest brother, Liu Chengxu. The one my mom is holding is my youngest brother, Liu Chenghao. I named them both!"

"Chengxu? Isn't that the same as your name?"

"No, Xu is the rising sun, and Hao is the bright moon. Xuer hopes that the two brothers can shine with their own unique light on the road of life, like the sun and the moon, and move forward together."

Liu Xu is showing off in front of her grandfather again, oh no need to explain.

"Great, great names, the rising sun in the east and the bright moon in the sky. Great!" Liu Dashan stretched out his hand to take the two little ones, with some inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

"Grandpa, please come and see us when you have time. Although Xu and Hao are ugly now, they will definitely become more and more handsome. Please don't look down on them!"

Liu Chengxu, Liu Chenghao: "You are the one who dislikes us"

"Hahaha, you girl! All babies are like this when they are born, and you were the same when you were a child. You will become more beautiful as you grow up." Liu Dashan was amused by her words.

For a long time, both the original owner and she had the impression of Grandpa as a stern-faced, unsmiling, and unlovable old man. The only hearty laugh in her memory was when Liu Chengming passed the examination for a student.

Seeing the old man's wrinkled face, Liu Xu was surprised for a moment, and then smiled sincerely. Forget it, this old man, be nicer to him.

After Zhang had sorted out the things, she came over and saw the smiling face of her old man. She was startled and seemed to smile as well. Liu Xu turned her head and was about to see clearly when the old woman said with a look of disgust:

"I've left all the food and supplies there for you. Hurry up and leave. It's an eyesore!"

Liu Xu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and responded.

Liu Dashan returned the two children, told Liu Xu to take good care of her mother and brothers, and went out with his hands behind his back.

Old Mrs. Zhang did not follow them, but stood aside, as if she was afraid that they would take something extra.

A few people slowly moved the things to the door. Shuisheng had already gone to find his father, who happened to come over in a bullock cart. The bed was the biggest thing, so they put it on top, followed by the table, bedding, and clothes. There was also a place left for Xu Ruolan, so she could sit on it with the child in her arms.

There was only one dan of grain in total, and Chen Lan carried it away alone. As for the remaining pots and farm tools, Zhuang and a few other children took some each.

The group walked towards the old house in the west of the village in a mighty procession.
