The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Jiang finally understood why Xiaohua was in a bad mood.

"You only have your parents at home, and no other elders to help you. Now that your mother is busy making money to support the family, shouldn't your father take care of you? What does Liu Guihua have to do with it? Besides, the mouth is on Liu Guihua, and Xiaohua shouldn't be angry with your father."

Xiaohua sniffed.

"It's Xiaohua's fault."

Jiang squatted down and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Xiaohua is a good child. If anything happens in the future, you must explain it clearly to your father. You can't tell him half-truths and keep half secrets, and you can't sulk alone, okay?"

Xiaohua nodded.

"understood."

Jiang touched her head.

"Go back and apologize to your father, and then tell him exactly what Liu Guihua said to you. As for your Aunt Guihua, this time, Grandma Jiang will seek justice for you."

As neighbors for so many years, she had some understanding of Xu Guixi.

Thinking that he grew up eating at many people's homes, he allowed the villagers to take advantage of him.

Liu Guihua was not a good person either, and Xu Baolai was an honest man who worked in the tea mountains near Yulan Town. The two of them had met while working there.

The road from the tea mountain to Lushan Village is far, so Xu Baolai lives on a large bunk bed provided by the owner of the tea mountain.

Liu Guihua somehow fell in love with Xu Baolai, and took advantage of the fact that Xu Baolai was the only one in the dormitory where all the men were staying that day to get into his bed.

Of course, the hot-blooded young man couldn't resist the temptation.

Afterwards, Xu Baolai took the initiative to take responsibility and returned to Lushan Village that day, asking his family to prepare the betrothal gifts and marry the girl.

After getting married, he never neglected the work at the tea mountain. Before Liu Guihua was pregnant, he often accompanied her there. After she became pregnant and gave birth, she had to stay at home to take care of the child.

Xu Baolai works in the tea mountains and comes back once or twice a month, staying at home for two days each time.

Liu Guihua was not a person who would settle down.

Doing this now may be because I can't stand the loneliness.

Or maybe he saw that Fang Miao was not at home and wanted to take advantage of Xu Guixi and Xiaohua.

She had to go and talk to Liu Guihua's mother-in-law about what happened today.

Don't let her restlessness destroy both families.

Fang Miao had finally made it through, but if a fire broke out in the backyard, all the hard work would be in vain.

Seeing that Song Yuntang had tied Xiaohua's hair, Jiang helped her stand up.

"Let's go, Grandma Jiang will take you home."

Xu Wencheng glanced in the direction of Jiang, then turned to look at Xu Yongwang who looked calm and composed.

"Dad, is Mom okay?"

Xu Yongwang was not worried at all.

"Don't worry, your mother knows her limits."

After a while, Jiang came back with a smile.

"Mom, what's going on?" Xu Wencheng asked.

"Liu Guihua was beaten with a broom by her mother-in-law, who then sent someone to Yulan Town to fetch Xu Baolai, saying she wanted him to go home and divorce her."

Xu Yongwang paused and looked at Jiang. "They say it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. If they really break up, I'm afraid they'll blame you."

Jiang waved her hand.

"It won't break up. I can tell that my sister-in-law is just putting on an act to scare Liu Guihua. Besides, Xu Baolai and Liu Guihua have two children. How can they just break up like that?"

He turned and looked at Song Yuntang beside him.

"If Tang'er goes to the provincial capital, ask Fang Miao to come back and see Xiaohua. Xu Guixi's legs are healed now, and it's easy for someone to take advantage of the couple if they're not together for a long time."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"When the time comes, I'll ask Fang Miao to see if the provincial capital needs an extra person. We're going to open a branch anyway, and the people who came here know everything about us, so it's always more reliable to hire them than those hired from outside."

Xu Yongwang said, "That's fine. After all, it was you who cured Guixi's leg. The couple remember you for your kindness. Now that they have the job you gave them, they will definitely do their best."

Song Yuntang took out a silver note worth five hundred taels from his pocket.

"Mother, take this banknote and use it."

Jiang hurriedly pushed it back.

"I haven't even touched the hundred taels you gave me last year. Why are you giving me more silver? We don't need money at home now. You can use this to do business."

Song Yuntang stuffed the banknote into her hand without saying a word.

"We've opened a few more shops this year and the profits are decent. We don't need these few hundred taels. Besides, even if Dad and Mom don't use it themselves, they can save it for Wencheng to get married. You and Dad help us a lot every day, and I can't just spend all the money by myself."

When Xu Wencheng heard her mention him, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the two of them.

"My eldest brother won't get married until he's twenty-three, so I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang glared at him unhappily.

"You little bastard! Your elder brother was in poor health and that delayed him until he was twenty-three. With your character, if you really wait until you are twenty-three, no girl will be interested in you."

Xu Wencheng lay down on the chair.

"Then I'll live on my own. After all, we have my eldest brother to carry on the family line. As long as we can ensure that the incense is not cut off, it's fine. At worst, my eldest brother and his wife can work harder and give birth to a few more nephews and nieces. Then I can adopt one of them as a son."

Hearing her son's nonsense, Jiang was so angry that her forehead twitched.

She picked up the broom and swung it towards Xu Wencheng.

"I let you talk nonsense!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Wencheng jumped up from his chair and ran around in the yard.

"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm speaking the truth."

Jiang chased after him.

"You're still serious. You even wanted to adopt your brother and sister-in-law's child and get something for nothing. You're dreaming. Why did I give birth to such a heartless thing like you? What else can you do if you don't get married when you're old enough?"

Xu Wencheng blurted out.

"I'm going to the battlefield to fight."

Hearing this, Jiang suddenly stopped what he was doing, and Xu Yongwang, who was rocking leisurely on the recliner, also opened his eyes.

Jiang thought she had misheard and asked again, "What did you just say?"

Xu Wencheng plucked up his courage.

"Dad, Mom, I want to join the army."

After the yard was quiet for a moment, Jiang raised the broom again.

"You little bastard, you've had too much time to spare, haven't you? They're trying every possible way to hide, but you're actually rushing forward. Do you even know how dangerous this is? Do you want your parents to die before you know it?"

Xu Wencheng dodged Jiang's broom as he spoke, "Mother, I've been training with Sister Xia Ning for almost a year, so I'm not completely defenseless now. Besides, not everyone goes to the battlefield to die. Aren't there also great generals who return victorious?"

"As men of Daxia, it's the responsibility of every one of us to defend our country. I've heard that the border situation has been intense in the past two years. What if I could play a role after I go there?"

Jiang was chasing after him, panting.

"Don't think you'll be invincible after just a few days of training. With your mediocre skills and your erratic personality, you won't even know how you died on the battlefield. Do you think it's that easy to become a general? How many great generals can emerge from ten thousand men? And who hasn't climbed to that position by stepping on the corpses of countless others?"

"Your brother was seriously ill before, and your parents worried about him for five years. Now that your brother has finally recovered, you're going to the border again. Do you really think your parents are living too comfortably?"

As she was talking, she suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying.
