"This bitch..." The nephew of the He family wanted to argue, but his mother covered his mouth.

They haven't met Xu Nianyue yet, so they can't offend the city guards at this time.

Seeing the so-called token, Xu Nianyue, who had already prepared in advance, quickly sent people to the city gate.

The Xu family's servant whispered a few words in the ears of the city guards and insisted on waiting until the city guards changed shifts before letting the He family into the city.

The off-duty guards escorted the He family's mule cart into a small courtyard in the South Lane.

When the He family saw that they were not invited to Xu Nianyue's home, but were obviously invited to an outer courtyard, they smacked their lips unhappily, and all kinds of critical and dissatisfied voices buzzed in the ears of the Xu family's servants.

But the Xu family's servants seemed not to hear.

He gave He Xiangmei a brief introduction to the layout of the yard and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he said goodbye to He Xiangmei: "Old lady, do you have anything to say to our grandmother?"

Before He Xiangmei could say anything, He Laoer's wife came in front of her and complained to the servants, "Hey, how can such a small house accommodate our two families..."

This small courtyard was newly rented by Xu Nianyue to He Xiangmei. It has three rooms, a hall, a courtyard and a well. Although it is small, it has everything and is more than enough to accommodate nine people.

Besides, this is a newly built yard with blue bricks and black tiles, clean and tidy, and there is enough firewood, rice, oil and salt in the yard, enough for a family of nine to live for a month.

Why can’t we accommodate here?

This accusation and complaint made the Xu family's servant lose his good attitude, and he winked at the guards to throw the man out of the room.

"This yard was given by my grandmother to honor the old lady. Since this aunt feels that there is no room for her, she can just stay here."

The guards on duty had taken on a private job. Just now, the Xu family servant gave them five taels of silver to escort them for a while, and also said that if something happened during the journey, they would be rewarded with half a tael for each escort.

This job pays well, doesn't interfere with official duties, and gives face to the city lord's niece. It's a good job.

The brothers all thought it was a good idea and decided to join in making some extra money.

Taking action is the most deterrent, and it immediately dampened He Jiagang's arrogance.

The He family members fell silent.

He Er jumped out to explain, "No, no, my wife was just talking casually." He was afraid that he would really be thrown out of the city.

The situation was different from what they had expected. The tricks they had used in Yunyang Town in the past did not work here.

The Xu family chased them away countless times, but they always found their way back.

After all, the Xu family's mansion and foundation are there, and only some peasants are guarding it, and they can't stop them.

It would be easy for them to stop Xu Chengqi or sneak into the Xu family.

In other words, this was because they had offended their eldest nephew, and the hunter Luo family beat them whenever they saw them, without giving them any face at all, so they had to move to another place to live.

But once we entered Lezhou, things seemed even more wrong.

If Xu Nianyue doesn't show up on her own initiative, they may not be able to find her.

How can you "complain and talk about love" if you can't find anyone?

He Da was concerned about how he could meet Xu Nianyue.

"This young man!"

The situation was pressing. Even though He Da looked down on the Xu family servant in his heart, he pretended to be polite and asked, "Yue Ya, did you tell me when you will see us? You know, my eldest sister misses her so much. If she comes to see her and doesn't see her, she will probably become sick with worry."

"This old man." The servants of the Xu family had received orders in advance that they did not have to give face to anyone other than He Xiangmei, so they would not put the He family members in a position of honor.

He Da also blushed with embarrassment when being called "brother".

The servant said to He Xiangmei, "Grandma said that it is her daughter's responsibility to take care of the old lady. But the old lady made a mistake and was asked to leave the Xu family by the old man. Therefore, it is not convenient for her to take the old lady back to the Xu residence."

This new courtyard was rented by Grandma under the name of Master Tao for the old lady to settle down. After the old lady has rested for a few days, we will ask her to move to Lingjingzhai in the northern suburbs. That is where the city lord promised that my grandmother would arrange for the old lady to rest.

Lingjingzhai? The He family didn't know what the place was, but it sounded nice.

Although it is in the suburbs, it should be the Xu family's holiday villa.

The He family was still fantasizing that they would go to Lezhou, although they did not dare to live directly under Xu Siyu's name.

But with the city lord's niece taking care of her, it shouldn't be too bad.

The greedy expressions of the He family members were all noted by the Xu family's servants. Similarly, the servants observed He Xiangmei's expression. The old lady seemed to be very worried and in a trance.

After giving instructions, the servant left the courtyard and returned to his mission.

As soon as the servants and guards left, the He family burst out with all the dissatisfaction that they had not expressed just now.

The men of the He family quickly lay down in the rooms they had chosen, leaving their wives outside to call out.

"Oh my god, if no one is left to serve us, who will cook? Big sister..."

"There's no water in this water tank...and the firewood isn't chopped..."

The complaints were all around them, but He Xiangmei just let them vent without responding. She lit a fire and cooked the dinner she wanted to eat.

……

In Lingjingzhai, Xu Nianyue stayed in the room she had personally decorated for He Xiangmei. A few days ago, she heard the servant say that her mother looked tired, so she came here specially to buy a medicated pillow.

She already knew why her sister-in-law kicked her mother out of the house.

It’s all the He family’s fault. Xishi has a scar on his face and I’m afraid he won’t heal well.

This is something that will ruin a woman's life. If it doesn't bring shame to her relatives, she should have been investigated by the authorities long ago.

However, because her mother was involved, the Xu family could only tacitly accept the disaster.

In the past few days, Xu Nianyue has already thought about where the He family will go.

Now that they have arrived in Lezhou, they have entered the tiger's mouth.

Let her be the one to remove these cancers that are plaguing the Xu family.

Lezhou has her aunt to help her cover up, so Xu Nianyue wants to make them never come back and keep them in Lezhou, which is always easy to do.

If the He family wants to make a living, sending them to the salt wells and coal mines, which are always short of manpower, is the most appropriate choice.

Come to think of it, this family of people has too heavy a burden on their hearts. If they were as rogue as the He family, how could they have suffered for so many years and become so cowardly?

Dad doesn't care about things, and the eldest brother suffers because of filial piety. He doesn't dare to deal with his elders, and the most ruthless action he can take is to drive them away.

What’s funny is that the elders without moral integrity are using their morality to threaten the younger generations.

She has been with her aunt for so many years, and her aunt can't stand those who are foolishly filial and loyal.

Even Mrs. Lin, who came from a prominent family and was my aunt's respectable mother-in-law, my aunt could just say no to her and no one would really criticize her for filial piety.

Oh, maybe someone criticized me, but I didn’t care at all.

The Buddha said: "There is no attachment and no fear."

My aunt is never afraid of others saying she is unfilial, because her filial piety comes from her heart, not from the rules.

She has been with her aunt for so many years, if she can't even develop this awareness, then all her time has been in vain.
