A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

"Hehe, you must be my eldest uncle and second uncle, right? Eldest uncle, second uncle, maternal grandmother and aunt, please come and sit down."

Seeing them standing at the door, Song Zhili went over to greet them and invited them to sit down.

Since there were quite a few people from both families gathered together, and the main room couldn't accommodate everyone, Song Zhili set up a small table in the courtyard.

She made two portions of all the non-spicy dishes, one of which was placed on a small table for the children.

All the children were sitting at the small table. They saw that Song Ziming and Song Qiqi were eating with their mouths covered in oil, so the other children didn't dare to touch their chopsticks.

"Why aren't you eating? Come on, eat up! My aunt is a great cook, Auntie, try this, it's really delicious."

Song Qiqi was sitting next to Hu Yue, who was Hu Zhengxing's youngest daughter. She was a few months younger than Song Qiqi, but she was of a higher generation.

Seeing that she didn't dare to pick up any food from the table with her chopsticks, Song Qiqi stood up and put a piece of braised pork into her bowl.

"Thank you."

Hu Yue thanked Song Qiqi, then picked up the braised pork from the bowl and put it in her mouth. "This meat is so delicious, big brother, second brother, third brother, you should all try it."

After Hu Yue tasted it, she didn't forget to call the other children to eat together.

"Right? I told you my aunt's cooking is really delicious."

"Mmm, my cousin's cooking is really delicious."

Seeing how much Hu Yue was enjoying her food, the other children also picked up their chopsticks and started eating from the dishes on the table.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Wu Xiu'e and Zheng cleaned up the dishes, and Hu Cuicui also helped them wash the dishes.

After they finished washing the dishes, Wu Xiu'e eagerly pulled Hu Cuicui into the courtyard and carefully examined her. She was very pleased to see that Hu Cuicui had not only not lost weight, but had actually gained weight.

"Cui Cui, how have you been all these years? I didn't realize Zi Ming had grown up so much. Oh, right, I remember Daya got married before, so why is she with you all this time?"

Wu Xiu'e was quite surprised to see Song Zhili come with them. She knew about Song Zhili's marriage to Gu Changqing before.

“Mother, I’ve been doing well all these years, so you don’t need to worry about me. Come, let’s sit down and talk.”

Hu Cuicui held Wu Xiue's hand tightly, and the two sat down together in the courtyard. Only then did Hu Cuicui tell Wu Xiue about Song Zhili.

Meanwhile, Song Zhili was directing Song Zidong to move the things they had bought into the house.

Zheng Shi was not idle either. She, Hu Zhengqing, and Hu Zhengxing helped Song Zidong move all the things in the yard into the house.

Seeing how much stuff they had bought, Zheng Shi, Hu Zhengqing, and Hu Zhengxing all felt a pang of heartache.

Buying so many things, how much money must that cost?

Song Zhili didn't notice their gazes. After they had moved all their belongings inside, she brought over two small stools and pulled Zheng Shi to a place in the courtyard to sit down.

Then she stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Zheng's hand.

"Aunt, when my mother took us to the house where my maternal grandmother used to live, why is there a woman living there now? What's going on?"

Song Zhili had wanted to ask this for a while, but she had been busy until now. Now that she had a chance to relax, she asked him about it.

Ji Qingqing was standing not far from Song Zhili when she heard Song Zhili ask this question. She also moved a small stool over and sat down next to Song Zhili to listen attentively.

When Song Zhili saw that Ji Qingqing had joined in, she casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into her hand.

When Zheng heard Song Zhili's question, she glanced at Hu Zhengxing's location. She hesitated, as this matter concerned Hu Zhengxing, and logically, she shouldn't be the one to say it.

Seeing that Madam Zheng did not answer her question, but instead looked at Hu Zhengxing first, Song Zhili asked, "Is this matter concerning my eldest aunt related to my second uncle?"

Madam Zheng nodded. "Yes, well, this all started with your second aunt."

Madam Zheng sighed heavily before explaining the whole story to Song Zhili and the others.

It turned out that the woman they had seen in the previous room was Hu Zhengxing's wife, Qiao. Just a few months ago, several burly men suddenly came to their house.

They said that Qiao owed money to a gambling den in the county town, and they had come to collect the debt. Although Wu Xiue and Hu Zhengxing were very angry, they could not ignore Qiao.

Upon learning that the Qiao family owed five taels of silver, but having no money of their own, they had no choice but to sell their main house.

They managed to scrape together a little over four taels of silver, but there was still some left over. So they borrowed some more from others, and finally managed to gather the five taels of silver.

After that, the whole family had to move out of the main house. Not only did Qiao not know her mistake, she also asked Hu Zhengxing for money to gamble. In the end, Hu Zhengxing couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the village chief to help write a letter of divorce to Qiao.

When Ms. Qiao received the letter of divorce, she was not sad at all; on the contrary, she was very happy. At first, everyone was puzzled as to why she was so happy.

It wasn't until later that they found out why she was so happy.

It turns out that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by Qiao and another man. They had been having an affair behind Hu Zhengxing's back for a long time, and later the man encouraged Qiao and set up a trap with her.

They tricked Wu Xiue and her family into giving them the land deeds to their house.

After Wu Xiu'e and the others moved out, Qiao and that man moved into the house without any qualms.

Although Wu Xiue's old house was not very well built, it was large in area and had many rooms.

Later, the village chief saw that the family was pitiful and decided to let them stay temporarily in the two thatched huts at the foot of the mountain.

When Hu Zhengqing and Hu Zhengxing learned of this, they were furious and came to the Qiao family to demand an explanation. However, no matter what, the land deed was in George's hands, and there was nothing they could do.

They could only accept this reality helplessly, but at the same time they were relieved that the land deeds in the village were still in their hands and had not been sold at the time.

After hearing what Zheng had said, Song Zhili felt that Qiao was utterly shameless. No wonder so many villagers had gathered outside that house earlier, and no one wanted to bring it up.

At the same time, Wu Xiu'e was also talking to Hu Cuicui about this matter. When she got to the sad part, Wu Xiu'e couldn't stop the tears from flowing. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Hu Cuicui comforted Wu Xiue for a long time before she stopped crying.

"Wow, it's quite lively here. There are quite a lot of people. Hu Zhengxing, who is this? Is she your new wife? She's not that good-looking, is she?"
