Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 76 Inquiring about the Zheng Family

As for Hongdou, I'm afraid she's probably in some brothel now.

As a woman, don’t you know the consequences of Xiao Wan being followed by several men?

Doesn’t she want to destroy Xiao Wan’s innocence? Then she can go and experience it herself. She even dares to threaten her, the lady.

Haha, this was the first time Duan Hongyi didn’t worry too much and just had someone take the red beans away and sell them.

As for the man at home, Hongdou was also hers. She gave Hongdou to him under the pretext of being a bed warmer while he went out for inspection.

In that case, she is just a slave, can't I deal with her myself?

In the final analysis, it is just kept by your side for surveillance!

Duan Hongyi thought about it and felt even more depressed. This was indeed a slap in the face, but Xiao Wan made Duan Hongyi lose his mind.

After Xiao Wan received the settlement money, she went to find Aunt Xiao San. She told her that everyone had worked overtime these days and it was really hard work. Not only would she prepare a banquet to reward them, but she would also give each person an extra ten cents for their overtime work over the past three days and asked Aunt San to keep a record of it.

As for Mrs. Zhao, she was diligent and capable. She not only prepared lunch, but also cleaned the house inside and outside. Xiao Wan hired her to work full-time, and she was paid thirty cents a day, which made Mrs. Zhao so excited that she burst into tears.

The female workers did not compare themselves with others. After all, everyone sympathized with Mrs. Zhao's situation.

The female workers were happier after their wages increased and were more motivated to work.

Xiao Wan was also happy to see this. As long as she could make money, she would never let the workers suffer any loss.

That night, Xiao Wan went to her mother and suggested going to her eldest sister's house the next morning.

Liu's eyes turned red again, and she said yes repeatedly, saying that she had already packed things for her daughter and wanted to go to her daughter's house to take a look.

My daughter has been married for almost two years. Before, we didn’t have enough food to eat at home. My daughter once brought us some food, but we haven’t been in touch since then.

I was afraid that my in-laws would look down on me, so I didn't dare go over, for fear that they would think I was asking for money.

Their family feels guilty towards Zhen'er.

Old Man Xiao also said that he would go and see them all. It was just right that after sending Xiao Zhengping to school, he would go to the town to buy some things and then go to his daughter's house.

So Xiao Wan, Liu, Xiao Yuer and the whole family got on a donkey cart and sent Xiao Zhengping to school.

After sending Xiao Zhengping off, Xiao Wan bought Yu'er some candied haws and glutinous rice cakes and waited on the donkey cart with Xiao's father.

He and Liu went to the cloth shop and bought two pieces of coarse cloth, two pieces of fine cloth and a packet of snacks for his eldest sister and her mother-in-law.

Then she went to the butcher's shop and cut two pieces of fat meat and twenty pounds of flour. Liu also took out ten taels of silver and wrapped it in a handkerchief, preparing to secretly give it to her daughter.

After the family packed up, they rushed to Xiao Zhener's house.

Xiao Zhener's husband's family lived in Wafang Village. He remembered visiting there once, and Old Man Xiao asked for directions along the way.

As soon as he entered the village, Old Man Xiao's donkey cart attracted the attention of the villagers. When they heard that he was looking for Xiao Zhener's husband, Zheng Jia, their faces couldn't help but look strange.

But he still pointed to the front and told the address to a few people. When Xiao Wan saw the expressions of the villagers, her heart sank.

Just then, a villager nearby said, "By the way, the Zheng family split up. Which branch of the family are you looking for? One branch of the Zheng family was split off separately."

The Xiao family was shocked. Split up the family?

So they hurriedly said that they were Zheng Dashi's family and they were Zheng Dashi's in-laws.

After hearing this, the villager showed sympathy and said, "Then go and have a look."

Mrs. Liu and Old Man Xiao looked at each other and felt that something was wrong, so they took out a handful of candy and gave it to them. After thanking them, they rushed to Xiao Zhener's house.

However, Xiao Wan felt something was wrong, so she stopped her parents first, turned back, quietly found the villager who had asked for directions just now, pulled him aside, and asked about the situation at her eldest sister's house.

She was afraid that if she rashly visited her, it would be detrimental to her elder sister and cause unnecessary trouble.

It's no wonder Xiao Wan thought too much. Many people are jealous of her family's current situation. If they can separate her eldest sister's family, there must be some discord.

Sure enough, the villagers hesitated. Xiao Wan took out ten coins and said sincerely, "Uncle, we just want to know about my sister's recent situation. Please tell us the truth, okay?"

When the villagers saw the money, their eyes lit up. After hesitating for a moment and looking around, they said, "Go and save your eldest sister. The Zheng family thinks your eldest sister hasn't given birth to a child in two years since she got married, so they want to sell her and buy a new wife for Zheng Dashi."

"Your brother-in-law wasn't very willing, so the Zheng family separated the couple and gave them nothing. They left the house empty-handed."

"Oh, it's really pitiful. The couple lives in a shabby thatched house on the west side of the village. Her mother-in-law is still ruthless and said she wants to find a human trafficker. This family is notorious in our village for being bad."

"Although your son-in-law hasn't agreed to sell your daughter, Zheng Dashi is a gambler. Some people even saw the Zheng family call in a human trafficker. Anyway, it's hard to explain. Let's go and take a look."

The villagers were also very sympathetic, but they had never seen anyone from Xiao Zhen's parents' home. After saying this, Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu lowered their heads in shame.

The villager finished speaking to himself, and then reminded Xiao Wan's family not to tell anyone that it was he who said it, and then left with the money.
