[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

At the Xu family in the town, Shan Shijiang strode into the courtyard and heard the doorman loudly reporting inside. Soon a group of people came out.

Madam Xu came out with her maids and servants.

"Brother Jiang, you're finally back. Where did you go last night? Why didn't you tell your family?

And why did you come back alone? Xiaoliu wasn't with you?"

Shan Shijiang's status is noble. If something happens to their Xu family, it will be difficult to explain even if they are Shan Shijiang's relatives.

Mrs. Xu looked behind Shan Shijiang and saw that only Shan Shijiang came back. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"Aunt, my sixth cousin is with me. Yesterday, he and I went hunting on Hongya Mountain, and he had an accident."

Xu Liu is the youngest son of Madam Xu and the youngest grandson of the Xu family. He is doted on at home and is a treasure in Madam Xu's hands.

When Mrs. Xu heard what Shan Shijiang said, she became unsteady and had to be supported by the maid beside her.

"Brother Jiang, what happened to your cousin?"

Mrs. Xu's voice began to tremble.

"My cousin is injured and can't be moved for the time being. I've placed him in a farmer's house. Would you like to go and see my sixth cousin, Aunt?"

The Xu family arrived very quickly. Shan Shijiang had only been gone for half an hour when Madam Xu and Master Xu arrived at the Han family.

Song Yanzhi was picking vegetables in front of the kitchen when she saw Shan Shijiang and a group of people rushing in. She was about to go forward to say hello when she heard Madam Xu say.

"Brother Jiang, the environment here is so bad, how can you leave your brother here?"

Her words were full of complaints against Shan Shijiang. Mrs. Xu did have some complaints about Shan Shijiang. If Shan Shijiang had not come to Hongshi Town, how could her always well-behaved son have thought of going up the mountain to hunt.

Song Yanzhi had just stood up and sat down on the chair again. The rich lady above her head looked down on their peasant family, so she would not go up to join in the fun.

Shan Shijiang was very embarrassed. His aunt-in-law had always been the type to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. She would flatter those who were more powerful than her, but would step on those who were not as powerful as her.

Shan Shijiang looked apologetic to Song Yanzhi, bowed to her, and took Master Xu and Madam Xu to the room where Xu Liu was recuperating.

Song Yanzhi didn't care. She had originally disapproved of Han Heming bringing this group of young masters home. She had never been a kind-hearted person, and she was even more afraid that the story of the farmer and the snake would happen to Han Heming.

They don't ask for gratitude from the Xu family, they just ask them not to cause them trouble.

In the room where Xu Liu was recuperating, Mrs. Xu's heart broke when she saw her beloved son lying motionless on the bed.

"My son, how did you become like this? This is going to kill me."

"Doctor Liu, how is the child?"

Mr. Xu was heartbroken to see his son like this, but the thing had already happened and could not be undone. He asked Doctor Liu about his son's condition.

"Master and Madam, the young master has been injured in many places, especially in the abdomen. He was hit by a wolf claw and there is bruising there. He also has a broken rib in his chest. He needs to recuperate slowly."

When Mrs. Xu heard what Doctor Liu said, her tears flowed like beads from a broken string and she couldn't stop crying.

"Doctor Liu, is it possible for the child to fully recover?"

Mr. Xu has not dared to tell Old Master Xu and Old Lady Xu about Xu Liu's situation. If Xu Liu cannot recover, he is really afraid that the elderly people in the family will not be able to bear it.

"As long as you don't move the young master and let him take care of himself slowly, he will recover."

"Doctor Liu, do you mean that my son can only live here to recuperate?"

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to do it anymore. Although the courtyard that Brother Jiang found was clean, the conditions were too good. Even the quilt on Xiaoliu's bed was made of coarse cloth. When had her Xiaoliu ever suffered such hardship?

"Yes, madam. The young master needs to recuperate for at least half a month before he can move. I'm afraid the bumpy journey back to town will aggravate his injuries, which would be disastrous."

"Master, the environment here is too bad. How can we stay here to recuperate?"

Madam Xu felt sorry for her son, thinking it would be inconvenient for him to live here and have servants to serve him.

"Is this the time to enjoy ourselves? My son is in this state, and we're lucky to have him alive. If you think the environment here is bad, just send someone to clean it up."

Mr. Xu is a man, but he is not as thoughtful as Mrs. Xu.

"Okay, then I will stay to serve my son, and leave twenty maids and servants to accompany me to serve Xiaoliu."

"Aunt, I'm afraid this won't work. Brother Han's house is small, and they only have two rooms for us. They can't accommodate so many people. Sixth cousin got injured because he followed me out. Why don't I and Doctor Liu stay to take care of Sixth cousin?"

Shan Shijiang took over the conversation. He had just seen clearly how Madam Xu treated the Han family. If he left Madam Xu behind, who knew what would happen?

"What? They only gave you two rooms? Didn't you tell this family who we are? Mother Qiu, go talk to the owner of this house and ask him to give us a few more rooms."

Mother Qiu is the most useful mother around Madam Xu. After receiving instructions from Madam Xu, she was about to go out and talk to Song Yanzhi, but was stopped by Shan Shijiang.

"Uncle and aunt, it was Brother Han's family who saved my cousin and me. If he hadn't brought people to rescue my cousin, he would still be in the wolf den.

His family was so kind as to lend us a room so that my cousin could recover from his injuries. How can we ask them to vacate another room?"

"Brother Jiang is right." Old Master Xu also disagreed with Mrs. Xu's approach.

"Master, this is our son. He is seriously injured now. If he is not taken care of properly, he will suffer from sequelae. Brother Jiang will not be able to take care of him. I still need to take care of him with the maids and the servants.

I think this family is just an ordinary farmer. They saved our Xiaoliu, so we just need to give them some more money."

"this…"

Master Xu was in a difficult situation. He felt that what his nephew and daughter-in-law said was correct, and he didn't know what to do.

"Master, you are right to listen to me."

Mrs. Xu winked at Mama Qiu, and Mama Qiu walked out of the room. She stood at the door and saw Song Yanzhi picking vegetables at the kitchen door. She thought this was the mistress of the house.

She held her head high and walked up to Song Yanzhi in a very dignified manner. She bowed to Song Yanzhi very perfunctorily without even bending her knees.

"Hello, ma'am. You are the hostess of this house."

Song Yanzhi had already seen Mother Qiu walking towards her, but she didn't like the Xu family, so she pretended not to see it.

When Mother Qiu asked, she replied calmly, "Yes, what's the matter?"
