Chapter 27： The Loving Scholar Who Abandoned His Wife and Son 5

After a long while, Xie Hui didn't hear his answer, and it occurred to him that Xie Fu still couldn't speak now.

Xie Hui was a little disgusted by the unpleasant smell in the pigsty, so he said:

"Climb over here by yourself, otherwise... you want to compete with pigs for food today?"

Xie Fu stared at Xie Hui fiercely, and when Xie Hui seriously suspected that he hadn't learned enough lessons and was about to turn around and leave, he saw him crawling towards him.

Xie Hui stood next to the pigsty, looked down at the man who couldn't even stand up there, and said in a low voice:

"Marry her in peace, and take good care of your mother, and I will let you out. Otherwise, you will stay here for the rest of your life."

At this time, Xie Hui really wanted to turn around and shake hands with the old lady lying in the room to say thank you.

If it wasn't for the old lady who wanted to bring up the life-ruining matter of marrying a slave as a wife, it would be difficult for him to find an excuse to clean up Xie Fu.

This point was still on the way back to the village. At the entrance of the village, Xie Hui ran into the patriarch whom he met yesterday. The patriarch praised him for a long time for keeping Xie Fu in the pigsty.

Although their village has not experienced the tragic scene where corpses were said to be floating on the entire river, they have also sold their children and daughters because of a corrupt county magistrate who raised taxes.

No one can hate the culprit more than those who have lived it firsthand.

Xie Huizheng was worrying about how to get rid of the pot clearly, when he happened to be sleepy, someone sent him a pillow.

If his son wants to be the No. 1 scholar, his reputation must not be stained in the slightest.

And it just so happened that in Jinshang's eyes, the more cruel and ruthless he was to the slaves, the more pleasing he was.

At the beginning, when the current emperor ascended the throne, he was not aware of this. Until one day on a whim, without telling the people in the court, he went to other cities for private inspections in disguise.

At that time, today’s saint went to a fairly affluent place, and many poor people froze to death on the roadside in winter, but the prefect’s mansion fed all the remaining chicken gizzards to the dogs in order to eat chicken gizzards.

The children who froze to death on the side of the road were so hungry that only a thin layer of skin covered their bones on their arms. The prefect's dog in his house was eating chicken.

Since then, I have hated corrupt officials. In order to warn the rest of the officials, the corrupt officials were severely punished.

So now when Xie Fu has the reputation of wanting to marry a slave as his wife, the more Xie Hui treats him badly, the better Xie Hui is in the eyes of others.

After seeing the tragic scene of being forced to sell their ignorant children, and the river is full of corpses, how many people can remain indifferent.

"If you are willing, nod your head, and I will let you out. If you don't, then I will lock you up in this pigsty until you are willing to come out."

Xie Hui is very clear that for a person like Xie Fu who seems to have selfishness carved into his bones, it will not work to threaten others, even the old lady who has always spoiled him as a top-notch.

He won't feel bad when the knife falls on others, he will only feel pain when the knife cuts on his own flesh.

After understanding the means I used on him before, I continued:

"The current Holy Majesty has issued a decree to marry a slave as a wife. If the family is dissatisfied... you can kill him, and you are not guilty."

In the original plot, Xie Hui married Qi Niang at the beginning, and Xie Fu only beat and scolded occasionally, so he was praised as benevolent.

The evil that Xie Fu wanted to do in the beginning, now Xie Hui has returned to him exactly as it was for every stroke.

Seeing that Xie Hui turned around and started to find the hatchet in the yard, Xie Fu, who was too scared to make a sound before, hurriedly replied in a trembling voice:

"I, I promise."

At this moment, the only thought in his mind was not wanting to die.

"Okay, get ready and marry Qi Niang."

To be on the safe side, Xie Hui brought another bowl of water and added something to it to ensure that he would not be able to leave this door before Xie Fu and Qi Niang got married.

After putting this matter aside temporarily, Xie Hui began to think about Xie Mo's marriage.

Juren next to him is not short of money, but Xie Hui's family is different.

Before, the old lady said very clearly that even if Xie Mo was admitted to Juren, his family members would not hold back, and no gifts from others were allowed to be accepted by Xie Mo.

Turning around, I asked my youngest son to stop those who gave gifts, and all the gifts were secretly exchanged for silver.

The silver that Xie Fu gave to the elders of the clan before was obtained through this method.

Since he is here to be a father, Xie Hui must of course do his best. Thinking of the incident left before, he went to the patriarch without much hesitation.

As a Juren, a mutually beneficial relationship can be reached in many things. For example, if a person is exempted from taxes, the members of the same clan can discuss it and make good use of this point to exchange for some money.

Xie Hui didn't really want the money, but he just wanted to let those who gave gifts know that receiving gifts had nothing to do with Xie Mo's family, otherwise, he wouldn't have to use this method to marry a wife.

When Xie went back to find the patriarch, he told the patriarch the intention behind his move. After hearing this, the patriarch hated Xie Fu to the extreme.

Immediately promised that this matter will be done properly today, to ensure that the absurd things Xie Fu did will not affect Xie Mo.

After taking care of the remaining matters one by one, Xie Hui told his son about it and asked him to prepare for marriage.

After the two marriages were finalized, when Mrs. Li's wife and her natal cousin came over, she mentioned to Li's mother that it would be too shabby to marry a wife and use her status as a raiser to ask for money from the head of the village.

In the end, the natal cousin was kicked out by Li's mother with a broom. At that time, Li's mother was so angry that she wanted to break ties with the natal cousin.

Li's mother and her husband didn't feel that Xie Mo's father's behavior was so shameful, he just used his own rights, he didn't steal or rob, and he never broke the law, so why not be upright.

In order to marry their daughter, they are willing to spend so much trouble, so that they can see that the Xie family attaches great importance to their daughter.

Her husband's family valued her, and now that Xie Mo is a Juren, their daughter's life in the future will definitely not be bad.

Xie Fu was really afraid of this strange elder brother. When he bullied his nephew before, he had never seen his elder brother get angry like this. Who would have thought that he would touch the elder brother's back scale this time.

Not only is the eldest brother not like before, he even lifts the ax for chopping wood every now and then, making Xie Fu sleepless at night.

Xie Fu, who was really afraid of death, had to follow the orders of his elder brother to take care of his mother.

He never felt that he was wrong, he only felt that the reason why he ended up like this today was all because of his mother who drove his eldest brother into a lunatic.

Although I did it, but I was unwilling to do it, and naturally I was not as meticulous as my elder brother. Within a few days, there was a peculiar smell in the room, and Xie Fu was even more reluctant to go in.

Xie Fu also picks up the food for his mother and eats it first, and feeds the leftovers to his mother.

In addition, Xie Fu began to take all his grievances on that slave when his eldest brother was not at home.

Xie Mo occasionally heard the slave begging for mercy, but he thought of what he heard from his father before, and silently stuffed some rags into his ears.

His father said that nosy people don't live long.

During these days, Xie Hui bought the green brick and tile house built by a rich businessman in the village with the money he exchanged for Ye Mingzhu.

It doesn't make sense that Ms. Li stayed in an exquisite boudoir when she was in her own home. After marrying his son, she had to huddle in such a hut that she couldn't turn around even if she turned around, and there was even a leak in the air.

On the day of the wedding, there was a banquet, but the old lady was not there. Xie Hui explained to the outside world that the condition of the old lady who was angered by the absurd things done by her youngest son became more serious.

With the good deeds done by the original owner as the basis, no matter what Xie Hui said, no one else doubted it.

As for Xie Fu, Xie Hui simply explained that he despised him for being unlucky, and the villagers didn't think he was ruthless, on the contrary, they all thought he was doing the right thing.

On the night of the wedding banquet, Xie Hui went back to the old house and gave up the newly bought house to the newly married couple.

After pushing away the courtyards, Xie Fu, who was sitting in the main room eating, trembled violently when he heard the movement.

The slave Qi Niang, kneeling in front of Xie Fu, was serving him a meal.

Xie Fu originally thought that his elder brother was coming to tell him something small, but Xie Hui just glanced at him, turned his head and went to the old lady's room.

Wicked people have their own troubles, the two of them are just right together, Xie Hui is too lazy to interfere, maybe there will be a Qi Niang 2.0 in the future.

Although it was already dark, the old lady hadn't slept yet, and there were no candles lit in the room. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled an unpleasant smell. Xie Hui stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose.

Taking advantage of the moonlight coming in through the window, seeing the staring eyes of the old lady lying on the bed, she stood at the door and said:

"Mom, let me tell you something small."

"Mo'er is getting married today."

The old lady's vision instantly brightened a little, and after realizing this, Xie Huihui's eyes turned slightly cold.

"I married his wife's daughter, Miss Li Shu, I think you have heard about her, she is a very good girl."

The old lady was originally lying on the bed, but when she heard Xie Hui's words, she struggled to sit up and made a ho-ho sound.

When she was taken care of by Xie Hui, she was in good health, and occasionally she could be carried out to bask in the sun, but now it was in the hands of her most beloved young son, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence for a few days.

"Mother, don't worry, you said earlier that you wanted to see Mo'er get married, and his son is so filial, so naturally he couldn't bear to reject you."

"Of course there is also my younger brother. He is not too young now. Following your mother's temperament, it is appropriate to marry a slave."

"Qi Niang is the person you fancy. You said before that you watched her grow up. She has a good temperament and good looks. How can I bear to let you down, Niang?"

After Xie Hui finished speaking, he noticed that the old lady was exhaling more than breathing in, so he fed a pill into the old lady's mouth to ensure that she could continue to hold on.

The old lady's body had already reached the point where the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry, and she was just hanging in one breath before.

Xie Hui is doing his best now, trying to make her hang on for a longer time, and watch her little son who is hurt by destroying her own children and grandchildren get married.

It is absolutely impossible for Xie Hui to let this old lady die on his son's wedding night, adding a bit of bad luck to this happy day.

"Mother, my younger brother will get married in a few days, and you still have to sit in the high hall. If you leave, then my younger brother will worship your tablet when he prays to heaven and earth. That's unlucky."

Afraid of being too exciting, Xie Hui planned to go back to rest after finishing speaking, and did not forget to leave a sentence before closing the door.

"Mother, I'll come back tomorrow to continue talking about small things with you."
