Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie did not know how to reply. Before they came here, their father had even told them not to mention this matter if Old Madame had not asked them.
Unexpectedly, although the Old Madame did not mention it, in the future, the two brothers would mention it for Xu Shiqiu.
Since they had already decided to follow Xu Shiqiu and do things for them, they couldn't lie to him from the very beginning.
He only wanted them to speak the truth, but he was unable to say it out loud.
Seeing the reaction of the two brothers, Old Madame Xu sighed and was about to speak, when suddenly, Xu Jie spoke first: "There are a few brothers from my uncles who also want to come with us.
However, their families were often concerned about them, and their families were not something that their fathers could decide alone. Thus, there was some delay.
When we arrived, some of them said that they would bring their young families to join us after they had collected the grain and handed it over for the summer. "
What Xu Jie said was indeed the truth, but Old Madame Xu did not have much hope in getting back at him.
She had always understood the principle of leaving home to cool tea. Moreover, her husband had already died nine years ago.
If those people didn't come, she couldn't blame them.
Thinking up to here, the Old Madame Xu looked down at Xu Jun and Xu Jie, and said: "With you brothers here, it's already very good. Furthermore, we don't need that many people around us in the beginning. " After saying that, the Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu who was below him.
Xu Shiqiu reacted very quickly. After receiving Old Madame Xu's hint, he immediately looked towards Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, "It is indeed so. Although I already have many plans, they are not done overnight. They need to be completed slowly. "
After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie who were deep in thought after hearing his words. He thought for a moment and continued: Furthermore, Second Brother and Third Brother all have nephew at home, so I can train them with just a few small matters.
Xu Shiqiu knew that it was hard to buy people's hearts, so as long as the brothers in Uncle Xu's family truly wanted to help him, he would naturally treat them sincerely.
As for the heirs of their families, he would naturally look after them to promote them. If there was a suitable heirloom, he would naturally arrange for a future for them.
Thinking about it here, Xu Shiqiu then looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie and said, "It just so happens that in a few days, my wife's Cousin will be coming to learn how to read and settle debts.
Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie who had just finished saying these words. Xu Jun, who had an eldest daughter, looked at Xu Shiqiu in shock and asked, "Can my Sis Li also learn to read and settle debts?"
Xu Jun's tone carried a bit of excitement and expectation, and for a moment, Xu Shiqiu didn't know who Xu Jun meant by "Li Mei". It was only until Xu Jie helped explain to Li Mei that Xu Shiqiu finally nodded with certainty.
Originally, my wife's cousin followed me to study. After I find an old teacher these days, he will teach you for half a day and I will come to teach for another half a day.
"The old mister wasn't willing to teach a girl, but I was. Furthermore, my wife has always been learning from me."
Xu Shiqiu explained himself clearly. He did not promise to persuade the old man to teach the girl, but said he would.
And it was precisely because of this that Xu Jun and Xu Jie both believed that he was speaking the truth at this moment.
Seeing that they were actually discussing about studying and settling debts, Dong Shu hurriedly reached out and tugged on Xu Shiqiu's sleeves, and then said softly: "Husband, brothers have worked hard this entire journey, we should have let them rest first."
Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking and was about to continue speaking, but was immediately stunned. Then she looked at Xu Jun and Xu Jie with a ashamed look on her face: "Blame me, I was chatting happily with my two brothers and forgot that my two brothers had just arrived, and have not had the time to wash up and rest yet."
After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Jun and Xu Jie hurriedly shake their heads at him, and then continued to speak: "I will order the servants to lead the two brothers to wash up and rest, and we will drink and chat later tonight."
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Jun and Xu Jie could only suppress their excitement and obey his arrangements.
Furthermore, they really did need to wash up and rest, so when Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, they immediately bowed and took their leave for the Old Madame Xu, then followed Cui Hua who was leading the way towards Hearing Phoenix Academy.
After Xu Jun and Xu Jie left, Old Madame Xu kept her smile, looked down at Xu Shiqiu and said: "Although only your second uncle Xu's brothers have come, but their family has many males, in the future you will have many helpers."
Hearing his mother's words of consoling himself, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked towards the Old Madame Xu and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry. I know very well whether the people who have come to help me are good or not."
When Xu Shiqiu saw that Old Madame Xu had just finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Your big brother and second brother both have helpers, but you do not. Now that you're already in your twenties and only starting to work, mom is afraid that when Mom closes her eyes, she won't be able to explain it to your dad. "
Old Madame Xu was indeed young, and based on her estimation, three years of life should not be a problem for her, but she was afraid that three years later, Xu Shiqiu had yet to strive for victory.
It was not that Old Madame Xu did not believe in her son's abilities, but Xu Shiqiu's fate was too unique. She was worried that Xu Shiqiu's bad luck would affect his future plans.
Xu Shiqiu understood what his mother was worried about, and looked at her. After thinking for a long time, Xu Shiqiu still said in the end, "Mother, I was only giving myself a chance to try. In the future, I will also be a man who wants to raise a wife and children. I can't just rely on father and the family business that you left for me to eat and wait for death.
If I really am unable to escape from this bad luck, then I did try my best before, and I won't live with regret. " As he spoke till here, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, now that I have married my wife, my bad luck has already been suppressed. As long as she is here, I will not affect anyone else.
"I believe that in the future, as long as my wife is by my side, I will definitely be able to suppress my bad luck."
Xu Shiqiu's words were spoken with utmost sincerity. Hearing his words, not only the Old Madame Xu, but even Dong Shu was moved by Xu Shiqiu's determination.
She stretched out her hand to hold Xu Shiqiu's hand. After passing the heat from her palm to Xu Shiqiu, she opened her mouth: "Husband, no matter what, I will definitely accompany you."
Right after Dong Shu's words fell, Xu Shiqiu immediately ignored the fact that the Old Madame Xu was still around, raised her hand to her lips and gave a light kiss, then spoke: "My wife, don't worry. I will definitely let you live a good life."
Dong Shu never thought that Xu Shiqiu would do such a thing in front of his mother-in-law. She blushed slightly and secretly glanced at her mother-in-law, but when he saw that her mother-in-law did not have any intention to scold them, he shyly and angrily looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked, "Husband, why do you kiss me like that?"
Sensing Young Girl's nervousness and seeing her faint fear, Xu Shiqiu immediately raised their tightly clenched hands and, ignoring her struggles, kissed the back of her hand again.
Seeing Young Girl's wide open eyes that revealed a look of disbelief, Xu Shiqiu finally replied to her seriously: I just want to kiss you.
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's explanation, Dong Shu was still in a daze, but the Old Madame Xu sitting in the seat in front could not take it anymore, and felt like her teeth were going to break.
However, seeing that her son and daughter-in-law were on good terms, Old Madame Xu was happy.
She did not disturb the two, and only took the chance while Dong Shu was still in a daze to get up and leave the hall. Dong Shu, who only had her blushing cheeks, and Xu Shiqiu, who had noticed her movements the moment she got up.
Xu Shiqiu noticed it when Old Madame Xu was about to move, but he was still staring at Dong Shu, so he did not get up to send her mother off.
When his mother had just left, Xu Shiqiu, who had wanted to hug Young Girl for a long time, immediately pulled Dong Shu up, pulling her away from the chair and into her embrace.
Dong Shu never thought that Xu Shiqiu would do such a thing. She was extremely nervous when she was pulled up by Xu Shiqiu, and quickly turned her head to look at her mother-in-law.
When he saw that his mother-in-law wasn't here, he heaved a sigh of relief. But the next moment, Xu Shiqiu was already hugging her tightly and his lips just happened to fall on her ears.
Dong Shu never thought that Xu Shiqiu would do such a thing. Although the two of them had done such a thing a long time ago, not only was it not on her own territory, there were even servants outside.
Thinking of all these, Dong Shu couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Only after Xu Shiqiu's ears reddened from embarrassment did he stop his playful thoughts. He said to Dong Shu seriously, "My wife, I am still unable to guarantee that my natural misfortune will not affect you.
"Therefore, I can only do a few more things to help you earn more silver when you can still suppress my bad luck."
Even if you can't suppress my bad luck in the future, when I send you away, I can still give you some things so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future.
Xu Shiqiu didn't say the latter sentence out loud, but had been thinking it all along.
But Dong Shu could tell something was wrong from his tone.
Dong Shu did not understand why her husband insisted on saying that she had suppressed his bad luck. Although she had heard rumors about him before, she did not believe it.
So when Xu Shiqiu looked at her with eyes that were filled with reluctance, she subconsciously hugged Xu Shiqiu's neck tightly, turned his face, and quickly kissed him on the lips. "Hubby, since I'm married to you, we should have been together forever." Saying that, Dong Shu frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly remembered something that he had heard from Xu Yanzhu before.
She looked at Xu Shiqiu, and said with an extremely serious tone: "Hubby, I heard Yanzhu say something before, 'living with dying together'. I want to be like you."
Dong Shu spoke seriously, and hearing her words, Xu Shiqiu was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to reply.
He truly did not expect that Young Girl would actually know of this story, and even used it precisely.
Seeing Young Girl's serious expression, Xu Shiqiu could only sigh helplessly in the end and tightly pull her into his embrace.
How could he bear for something to happen to Young Girl who loved him so wholeheartedly?
