The Old Man Liu had originally planned to organise the funeral affairs in a simple and casual manner because of Duan Xiaohe's achievements. Liu Er had said that he wanted to organize a banquet, and thanked the villagers for taking care of his family, and said that he wanted to invite the best funeral procession, and even wanted to find a few esteemed monks to recite the scriptures of the past Old Man Liu's death. In addition, he also wanted to invite a person with good Feng Shui as an example, and spend a lot of money to make a grave for the Old Man Liu.
Widow Li rolled her eyes at Liu Er, all the money in her family was in her hands, how could she not know how much there was in their family? Although they were living in a ready-made house with chickens, ducks, and cows, they did not have much money with them. If it really was like this, they probably wouldn't even be able to eat dirt for the rest of their lives.
But Liu Er just wanted to give him face. No matter what identity Duan Xiaohe had now, he knew of the Little County Princess. He did not have money back then, but now that he had become the Little County Prince's jade pendant, he had more money than ever before. No matter how Widow Li tried to persuade him, he just did not listen.
Seeing that Widow Li was truly angry, Liu Er coaxed her happily, looking at her, it was the same as when she was pregnant.
In the end, Liu Er said that he was only a father and that it was already pitiful for Old Man Liu to lose two sons of his eldest brother. Liu Er insisted on setting up a big business, he even said that he would sell the oxen, and get some money first. If there wasn't enough, he would borrow some money from the villagers, and after doing all the later on, he would go back to work to earn some money.
Actually, Duan Xiaohe knew that Liu Er was saying all these for him to hear. She was also Old Man Liu's daughter-in-law, now that she was gone, wouldn't she take out her money?
Duan Xiaohe immediately gave Liu Er 100 gold, he could set up the funeral no matter how much he wanted to do. Liu Er gratefully received the silver, and pointed to her stomach while looking as if he wanted to say something.
"It looks like it's been five months, is it Qin Rui's?"
Once Liu Er said this, all the villagers who had rushed over upon hearing the news stared at Duan Xiaohe. Rui Dong stood in front of her, staring at her with her almond-shaped eyes, scolding her non-stop.
Liu Er didn't know the background of this girl, and did not dare to offend her due to hindering Little County Princess's face. He only lowered his head and muttered to himself like the other villagers: "If she isn't Qin Rui's, then who else can she be?"
The Little County Princess pointed at Liu Er and said loudly, "Say it again to this County Princess? Whoever speaks out while staring at her belly will be punished! "
Everyone was shocked and did not dare to say another word.
It was going well, and almost the whole village was coming. Old Man Liu had been suffering alone for a lifetime, but now, everything was finally settled.
"That …"
Duan Xiaohe turned her head, and the person who was talking to him was indeed Begonia's father, Liu Jinfu, the elder of Liu Village. Beside him stood a nervous and nervous woman. It was indeed Begonia's mother.
"Uncle, Aunt."
The Haitang's mother replied repeatedly, which brought the distance between the two families even more. "The Haitang's mother grabbed Duan Xiaohe's hand with excitement on her face. Are you in the capital now? Have you seen my Begonia before? "She lost contact with her family ever since she came back, and we can't go to the capital because it's too far away …"
Rui Dong was worried about Duan Xiaohe and wanted to pull Haitang's mother away. She worriedly looked over. She kept having the feeling that everyone in the entire village would harm Duan Xiaohe, and she couldn't afford to be careless. Little County Princess called Rui Dong to the side and told her to not worry about anything Duan Xiaohe did in the village.
felt extremely bad. The Chinese flower said that she went back to her parents' home during her disappearance. From the looks of it, the flower had never come back to Duan Xiaohe's place.
Liu Jinfu also came over and asked her when, and when he left, he also helped them deliver a few things to the Begonia. He also said that the business of the Shangyi Store in the capital was very good, and that it would not be difficult to find a place to stay. He looked at Duan Xiaohe with anticipation, making her feel even more guilty.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to the Begonia? "
Duan Xiaohe shook her head anxiously, pointed to her stomach and said to Haitang's mother, "Look at me, I am very heavy right now, I have never walked around properly in the capital before, and I have not even seen Begonia before. "When I get back, I'll give you my stuff."
Haitang's mother was still worried. She talked about how a young lady of the Bie family was pregnant with a child, but unfortunately, her Begonia family did not even have a marriage engagement with her. who said that he would follow the Begonia only said that he never talked about it himself. He then asked Duan Xiaohe if there was something wrong between the two of them.
Duan Xiaohe casually said a few more words, as if she was saying more mistakes. Hai Niang's parents were already old. What if they were stimulated by something and got sick? She already owed Begonia, so she couldn't ruin the couple anymore.
As the sky darkened, only a few of his fellow villagers stayed behind to help out with the Liu Family. After Duan Xiaohe found an opportunity to explain what happened to Rui Xue today that nearly made him fall, she discovered that the two of them didn't have much of a reaction to it. She just grabbed onto Rui Xue and asked if there was anything wrong.
F * ck!
His own child had almost died outside, and the two of them were only concerned that the cow had eaten someone else's corn?
"Rui Xue is so small. How can you let her go out by herself without worrying?"
Widow Li had a normal look on her face. "Look at what you're saying, did you forget how you came here after entering the capital and becoming a rich man?" "Which child in our village didn't let the cow go? Our Rachel wasn't raised by Miss Qian, so why are you spoiled?"
Duan Xiaohe glanced at Rui Xue. Seeing her standing beside Widow Li with her head lowered and a face full of grievance, yet not daring to cry, Duan Xiaohe felt her heart ache.
"Did you know that she almost choked to death on her core today?"
Liu Er said, "Didn't you say that earlier? "It's a good thing that I'm fine, I'll be fine." He called Rachel to her and told her not to eat so much anymore. Big ones didn't kill her, and small ones had diarrhea. He then scolded her, telling her to feed the cows to the seedlings of other families, and sell her, without compensation, to be their daughter-in-law.
Rachel shrugged her shoulders. Clearly, she was already crying. Duan Xiaohe had already repeated this several times in her heart.
"There are two adults in the family. Why didn't they tell the adults to set the cows? One child almost had an accident, yet you only care about money?"
Actually, Liu Er didn't think that way, he just felt that Duan Xiaohe's attainment was too good and that she did not understand the difficulties that a poor family would have. Besides, the situation was quite ordinary in the country, and there was no need to make such a fuss.
On the other hand, he was afraid that Duan Xiaohe would take back everything she had bought, and that the good days that she finally got would go to waste. He said, "It's not like this is the first time Rachel has gone to take care of a cow … It's not that Yun Xiang and I are ruthless. Look at my father, he is hanging onto me with one breath and can die at any time. I am my father's only son, so I have to be there to guard him, no? Yun Xiang was also pregnant. She would be a kid if she found someone to check on her. Since her body was weak, she could only stay at home and raise her. Now that my dad has gone, I'll take care of all the jobs in the family. "
Liu Er spoke with a heroic tone, but when Duan Xiaohe heard it, her heart turned cold.
She was wondering why Liu Er would be so indifferent to her own daughter just now. Turns out that it was Widow Li who was pregnant, and most likely, a son.
It was simply amazing!
"That kid, Rachel, if you don't want her, I can take her with me."
Liu Er was startled, and the woman beside him was also startled. Although she was just a girl, she was still a child that had been raised for a few years. When the Wife and Wife Li were pregnant with Rachel, they had said that they had looked for someone to watch over them. They had also determined that this was a son. Who knew that he would be born with a daughter? What if this one time …
"No, my dad just disappeared, and you want to snatch even his granddaughter? Why do you still want Rachel now? "No, there's no need to discuss this matter."
Duan Xiaohe swept her gaze across the silent Wife Li and snorted: "According to your Nurturing techniques, I don't even know if I'll be able to see her after coming back."
She was so upset by the couple that she wanted to go back to her room and remember that this was no longer her house.
The group of them cleaned up Liu Er's and Liu Wang's house and stayed there.
On the day of Old Man Liu's funeral, Duan Xiaohe was going to follow him into the Liu Family Ancestor's grave. Rui Dong said that the place was filled with miasma and told her to rest at home. The imperial physician had given her a pulse, so she felt too embarrassed to say that there was nothing wrong with her body at the moment. She could only tactfully say that she had to pay extra attention and not be careless.
The imperial physician looked at Duan Xiaohe's figure who was walking forward suspiciously from behind. All the way, her pulse was still weak, making him extremely nervous. But after just two days of landing, Duan Xiaohe's body was no different from an ordinary person's, it was simply unimaginable.
Could it be that his Liu Village was especially nurturing?
When they arrived at the ancestral grave of Liu Village, the Little County Princess did not let Duan Xiaohe get too close. The two watched from afar as the people buried the Old Man Liu. She looked to the other side, and his footsteps unconsciously made his way over.
Weeds had already grown in front of Xia Yu's grave. If Liu Da was here, he would definitely have to clean it up cleanly. She watched on silently for a while, then walked to the front of Liu San's memorial grave.
"Liu San, you didn't even come back to take a look after your father's death. You sure are heartless."
Little County Princess opened his mouth, but he could only sigh. He walked a little further away, leaving Duan Xiaohe enough space.
He originally wanted to go to the Fujiang Village to see the Duan Sister-in-law, but Little County Princess said that the distance was too far, so he didn't dare to harass him again. Just as he returned to the Princess Mansion, he heard that there was a war going on in Fringe City, and countless casualties.
This battle lasted for three to four months, and the Liu San still did not return. Little County Princess played with the baby in her arms, asking her if she had thought of a name. Duan Xiaohe kept looking into the distance, "Wait, no rush."
