Chapter 223
C223 – Remaining
Lee Xiuyu’s mind was in a state of turmoil the entire morning. After all, his family’s brat had not returned, and he did not know what was going on.
“Lao Er’s Family, take care of your father-in-law. I’ll go to the provincial capital.” Lee Xiuyu said to Zhang Xiuyun. Even if they had caused a ruckus previously, there were some things that son-in-law still had to do.
In the morning, he had also heard some of Ouyang Lian’s words. He felt that things were not that simple, and only this mother-in-law who had fallen into the hole of wealth would completely believe his words, “mother-in-law, you and your boss discuss this matter, I cannot make the decision.”
Last night, he had already discussed things with the manager so that they wouldn’t get involved in the matters of the mother-in-law and the others.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He had originally thought that since the Qi was here, the situation would change for the better. However, there were some things that exceeded his expectations, and Xiang Qixuan actually did not return home. They did not know what tricks he had up his sleeve, but they would not foolishly work for him, because at that time, they would not be able to obtain any benefits.
His words caused Lee Xiuyu to ask sharply, “Lao Er’s Family, do you think we will take advantage of you? When Qi returns, there will be food for you. “
Zhang Xiuyun smiled and replied, “mother-in-law, I do not dare to say that I am taking advantage of you, as long as you have any problems, I will thank the heavens and earth. He hoped that the leader would hurry to the foot of the mountain to build the house. At that time, they could move out as well, and did not need to look at the mother-in-law’s face.
Lee Xiuyu was trembling from head to toe, this teacher was already part of the family, it was hard to say. But looking at his sharp tongue, it was no wonder that Lao Er was led away by his nose.
Zhang Xiuyun no longer bothered with his family’s mother-in-law, and directly walked past him. Was this person still thinking of using the same method as before to threaten him? That won’t work.
Zhang Xiuyu had no choice but to run over to mother-in-law and say what he had said to his, “Ah Yao, the boss is still in bed. I want to visit the provincial capital.”
This son-in-law, was actually this stupid? If what Lian said was true, then his family’s Qi was too shameless, if he took the provincial graduate examination and abandoned his useless wife, someone would poke his bones out of his bones, and if what he said was false, then the 10 taels of silver would not be taken back for free. He just did not know what was going on, but he felt that this brother should not know how to lie.
old grandma let out a heavy sigh, “Go, do not let anything bad happen to him, just make sure of his condition.” Originally, he should be very happy that his grandson passed the provincial graduate examination. However, his grandson still hasn’t come back after such a long time, it’s impossible for him to not be worried.
The teacher of the youngest was a little unhappy, but the person in charge of the house was still the one in charge. Thus, he smiled and said, “mother-in-law, I’ll send you back first.” This old pious woman, his heart had always been biased towards his eldest son. As long as his family had any good things, he would always send them to his eldest brother.
As a son-in-law, he could not say anything, all of this was done with the tacit approval of the owner.
old grandma nodded and asked them to help him go back. His body was no longer as healthy as it was before, but there was no problem taking care of people now.
Therefore, Lee Xiuyu took a silver tael and went to the capital. He did not know the way, nor did he know where the Qi was, so he could only ask around. However, many people saw him dressed like this, and were extremely rude when they asked him about it, causing many people to hate him.
Lee Xiuyu’s face was filled with anxiousness, but for the sake of the Qi, he had no choice but to endure. Finally, he thought of the people from the Ouyang Family, and asked them where their Ouyang Family were.
“Ouyang Family? Their family is not in the west, but in the east, where all the wealthy families live. ” A middle-aged man looked at him rather pitifully and told him so.
“I advise you not to go to the Ouyang Family. An ugly thing happened in their family two days ago, I think no one will bother about you.”
Lee Xiuyu’s face was full of flattery, “What is it that you want to tell me? Is it about marriage? ” When he thought of this, he was especially happy.
“That’s right, don’t tell me you know as well?” Their family originally recruited a son-in-law, but in the end, they discovered that this groom was actually their big brother’s son’s husband, making their family the joke of the entire provincial capital. ” The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Such a dramatic scene, perhaps only their Ouyang Family could have something like this. After all, how could ordinary families marry so many concubines, and the brothers that were born, regardless of where they were raised, would they not make a joke out of it now?
After Lee Xiuyu heard his words, he choked, then carefully asked: “Then … “And the bridegroom?” At the same time, his heart was filled with hatred, which also meant that although Ouyang Lian had indeed seen the Qi, he had ruined his wedding.
“How could I know where he was? Maybe he went back to the country. ” The middle-aged man said indifferently. This scholar was still in provincial graduate, he did not think that he would actually do such a thing. He was afraid that he would not be able to stay in the capital.
After Lee Xiuyu thanked the man, he anxiously ran towards the east side. Sure enough, he saw a resplendent mansion, but he could not read a single character.
“Scram!” Where did this beggar come from, and how dare he act so rashly in front of our Ouyang Family! ” The servant had an unsightly expression on his face. Because of Ouyang Lian, he had been ruthlessly taught a lesson, and if not for the fact that he was the son of the family, he might have been chased out of the Ouyang Family.
Lee Xiuyu was pushed until he staggered, but he did not dare say anything. Facing strong people, he was actually still weak, so he just waited by the side.
A day and night had passed, yet Lee Xiuyu did not see anyone coming out at all, and his silver had almost been completely spent. If he continued like this, he would probably starve to death and had no choice but to return to the Xiang Village.
When he returned home, he discovered that his son had already returned, but his face was extremely ugly, “Qi! What’s the matter with you? You scared your Ah Yao to death! ” Seeing his son, Lee Xiuyu’s tears fell.
Xiang Qixuan knelt for two days straight before coming back after not even seeing Ouyang Ling. He knew that everything was over, which also meant that he had to return to the village to live that kind of life, and then continue with the exam.
“Ah Yao, I’m fine.” Xiang Qixuan forced out a smile from his face.
Lee Xiuyu wiped away his tears and said hoarsely, “Qi, what happened to you? Lian said you married his family’s younger brother? “This …” If he were to marry such a rich man, would his family’s boy still wear such tattered clothes?
When Xiang Qixuan saw his Ah Yao mentioning Ouyang Lian’s name, a strong look of hatred flashed past his eyes, and then returned to his original look. “Ah Yao, where’s Lian?” If he could marry Ouyang Ling, he definitely wouldn’t treat him unfairly. He didn’t think that would actually appear at the wedding and ruin everything.
Xiang Qixuan should have been glad that the people from the Ouyang Family did not send him to the government, otherwise, his provincial graduate’s reputation would have all been ruined. Many people in the provincial cities were talking about him, but they had rarely seen his face, so it could be considered a kind of luck.
Lee Xiuyu said with a face full of hatred, “Your husband took out 10 taels of silver from me and ran. He said that since you married a brother from the capital, he shouldn’t be giving you any trouble … How can I, the Ah Yao, be so stupid? This person is clearly lying! ” If Ouyang Lian was here, she would probably tear him to shreds.
Xiang Qixuan really hated his Ah Yao, deceiving him for such a simple matter, “Ah Yao, if I really did marry my brother from the provincial capital, how could I not invite you?” There were some things that he did not want to say, and he could not say it. Otherwise, if everyone in the village knew, he, Xiang Qixuan, would not have any place to stand on.
After Lee Xiuyu heard it, he suddenly came to a realization, “You are right, it is just that ….” In fact, he was looking forward to it.
“With such a large family like Ouyang Family, how could they possibly fancy a poor kid like me?” Xiang Qixuan said to his Ah Yao, but he did not expect that before Ouyang Lian left, he had told the matters regarding Xiang Qixuan to the grandma s within the village.
These grandma s usually did not have anything to do, so they just wanted to chat. Furthermore, not long after Xiang Qixuan came back, he also rarely interacted with the people from the village, so he did not know from the start that the news of him being in the provincial capital had already spread.
“Ah Yao, don’t believe his words.” He had originally thought that the Third Brother’s entrance exam would bring benefits to his family, but contrary to his expectations, it was a matter that pierced through his spine, causing him to feel embarrassed just walking around the village.
“This person actually fawned over the Ouyang Family, and wanted to marry the Ouyang Family’s Ouyang Ling. But in the end, it was seen through by the Lian. That’s great, our family has lost all our face because of you! ” Xiang Qihan scolded from the start, the moment he saw Xiang Qixuan, he looked to be disgusted.
A person who abandoned his ex-husband after taking the provincial graduate exam, could be seen how heartless he was. This marriage did not inform Ah Yao about it, which meant that he planned to become his new son-in-law.
Xiang Qixuan narrowed his eyes, “Where did Second Brother hear this from, don’t …” He was interrupted before he could finish.
Xiang Qihan retorted, “I didn’t hear anyone spouting nonsense. This came out from your husband’s mouth, and he has already cut off all relations with you.”
Lee Xiuyu frowned, “Lao Er, don’t act like your Third Brother did the wrong thing. If not for this Ouyang Lian, your younger brother would have already married a brother from the provincial capital, you can also go and enjoy yourself.”
Xiang Qihan did not know what his Ah Yao was thinking. Ah Yao, in my opinion, if it wasn’t for Lian exposing his conspiracy, he probably wouldn’t be able to return to the Xiang Village for the rest of his life. This son of yours, is not even comparable to a beast! “
Lee Xiuyu’s expression turned ugly when he was told this. In fact, he had some doubts in his heart about what the Qi had said.
“Ah Yao, I’m going to be the next son-in-law.” Xiang Qihan continued to speak, he did not think that his words were inappropriate at all.
Xiang Qixuan narrowed his eyes, “Second Brother, don’t think that just because you are an elder you can slander my reputation at will?” At this time, he hated Ouyang Lian to the core. If not for him, he wouldn’t need to face this kind of situation.
