Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

"Oh no, grandma, oh no." Xu Chengqi ran back from the field and entered Xu Wangshi's house without even getting mud on his trouser legs.

"What's wrong? I'm fine." Mrs. Xu Wang was pulling Xu Siyu and trying to find out if her daughter had a new lover, when she heard her grandson's "death announcement" cry.

"Grandma, Tao Cheng... Tao Cheng was building a dam when he fell off a scaffolding and broke his leg. I think..."

"What else? Hurry up and tell me!"

"It seems to have damaged the roots of my descendants."

"What!!" Xu Wang was so excited that she stood up but didn't stand steadily and almost fell. Fortunately, Xu Siyu was beside her and supported her.

Oh my, she said, we can’t go to build the dam. Bleeding and breaking the skin are minor matters, but injuring the bones and muscles will last a lifetime.

Just before the wedding date, my grandson-in-law became useless, so the marriage cannot go through!

"Where's your dad?"

"He went to Kaoshan Village to inquire about the situation."

"Then how do you know?"

"Uncle Huaixiao sent him back and brought us a message when he returned to the dam." Xu Huaixiao is the youngest son of my seventh uncle, and Li Liuer's husband.

At night, Xu Huaishan came back from Kaoshan Village and hurried to discuss with Xu Wangshi.

"Is it really useless?" Xu Wang asked anxiously.

"I can't tell. I waved to Doctor Yun, but he ignored me." It must be the Tao family who asked him to shut up.

When it comes to finding out things, the honest Xu Huaishan is not as capable as Xu Huaichuan and Xu Chengyuan.

……

"What should we do now? Will Yue still get married?" Xu Wangshi had her own ideas, but at this time, Xu Huaishan should have a say in the matter of his granddaughter.

What's more, Xu Wangshi always had higher hopes for her eldest son Xu Huaishan, hoping that he could take charge as soon as possible and truly support the Xu family.

"You have to get married. She's still alive." Xu Huaishan gave him the answer.

Xu Wang smacked her lips in silence, but didn't refute. This man was too honest, and sometimes the results of his actions could drive people crazy.

"Okay. You can discuss it with your wife." Xu Wangshi thought that this would not be He Xiangmei's answer.

It was Xu Wangshi's idea to choose the Tao family. In fact, the owner Cui of the Ping'an Inn in the town also had his eyes on Xu Nianyue as his daughter-in-law. When he mentioned the betrothal gift of ten taels, He Xiangmei almost agreed.

Or maybe Mrs. Xu Wang felt that Shopkeeper Cui's son was almost thirty years old, and the Xu family would not send Xu Nianyue to be a second wife and raise the original wife's son.

If the granddaughter has to bow her head for the rest of her life, doesn’t that mean the Xu family will have to bow their heads for the rest of their lives?

Xu Wangshi thought it would be better to find a reliable family in the village and become a legitimate wife who could hold her head up high.

Yes, between remarrying and marrying a useless person, it is much better to bow your head than to be laughed at.

Now that something has happened to the Tao family, I'm afraid He Xiangmei will start to have some ideas again. Let's see who will say what to the other between the two of them.

……

Xu Huaishan and his wife decided to cancel the engagement.

The next morning, he asked Xu Wangshi for the betrothal gift from the Tao family, and the two of them went directly to Kaoshan Village.

After coming back, He Xiangmei went to the town.

Xu Nianyue was very sad when she found out, and she didn't want to remarry.

But she had no confidence and could only hide in the room, feeling sad in silence.

If the Xu family wants to cancel the engagement, the Tao family will not easily agree.

The Tao family, who had originally wanted to wait until Tao Cheng recovered before discussing the matter, heard that Xu Nianyue was breaking off the engagement and negotiating a marriage at the same time, so they pulled an ox cart to the door of the Xu family and wanted to take Xu Nianyue away.

Xu Huaishan and He Xiangmei were unable to hold out, and it was Xu Wangshi who pressed on at the door and prevented them from entering the house to snatch the person.

"Look, look! The Xu family is marrying one daughter to two families, deceiving the neighbors. In March, they gave my nephew a purse, and in April, he's marrying someone else!"

The old couple of the Tao family also found a loud-mouthed helper as the main force. Anyway, now is not the time to talk about reason, momentum is more important!

The Tao family's idea was to ruin the woman's reputation so that the Xu family would have no choice but to send someone into their home.

There is no need for a betrothal gift.

Wielding a kitchen knife, Madam Xu Wang shouted at the man who had spoken: "What kind of old man are you? How dare you bark like a dog here? Your nephew has lost his legs and is no longer a man, yet you have the nerve to come and attack my granddaughter."

The matter had become a big deal, and without mentioning the poor performance of her eldest son and daughter-in-law, Xu Wangshi was no longer afraid of being embarrassed again, so she simply laid out the fact that Tao Erlang had been crippled.

"Oh, Wang Cuihua, you are going to force my son to death..." Old Mrs. Tao slammed the door of the Xu family and began to cry, intending to put the life on the Xu family's head, not afraid that the Xu family would not give in.

"Bah! Don't you know who forced your son to death?" Faced with the tantrum, Xu Wangshi was not afraid at all and retorted to Old Lady Tao.

"Aunt Xu, Tao Cheng was injured while repairing a dam for the government. The Tao couple have always been kind to their son." Unlike the village chief of Xinshan Village, Zhang Dahe, who hid himself from people, the village chief of Kaoshan Village followed the Tao family to the Xu family to support their villagers.

Without the village chief's support, Xu Siyu supported her mother: "Uncle Village Chief, you said that the Tao family loves their son, but I heard that Uncle Tao and Tao Dalang did not go to perform labor service, only Tao Erlang went."

There may be kindness, but it's a pity that it is not for Tao Erlang.

"This...the two of them are using food to get rid of their husbands." The village chief of Kaoshan Village spoke the truth.

"Oh, I see. The Tao family will be short of food for Tao Erlang."

"You little bitch, stop talking nonsense." Mrs. Tao, who had just been crying and looking at the aggrieved woman, suddenly scolded Xu Siyu, "We couldn't buy new grain even with the money. It was my father-in-law who helped pay for the new grain."

When Xu Wangshi heard someone scolding Xu Siyu, she immediately rushed forward to hit them, but Xu Siyu held her tightly, preventing her from rushing to the Tao family's camp.

"The father-in-law Auntie Tao is talking about owns a rice wine shop in town. I heard they just released fifty jars of new wine this month. Two dou of new glutinous rice is put into the jars and fermented for a month to make these fifty jars.

One month later, the corvée order was issued not long ago, and the conscription officers were still collecting grain from the men in the town.

Two dou of glutinous rice can just relieve one person's labor.

Let's not calculate based on the normal grain price. Let's just consider it as the price for fifty jars of wine, which is forty cents a jar at the wine shop, for a total of two taels of silver.

The Tao family is well-known for its wealth in our Shiliangshan area, so how come they don’t even have two taels?

Why do I feel that Uncle and Aunt Tao are reluctant to spend the money and think that two taels of money are more important than their second son?

Oh, did the Tao family also look for your father-in-law, but they said they had no food? Tsk tsk tsk, does this eldest son's father-in-law want the Tao family to have one less son?"

Xu Siyu's voice was not loud, but her speech was not fast. She spoke vividly and gave everyone enough time to think.

"You are trying to sow discord." There are also educated people in Kaoshan Village, so they naturally understood Xu Siyu's purpose quickly.

Xu Siyu waved her hand, "This is not a provocation. This is the reason why our Xu family canceled the engagement."

"what?"

"Everyone in the surrounding area knows how much our Xu family loves our daughter."

Everyone was stunned. They knew it, but the daughter only referred to Xu Siyu, not all daughters.
