Xu Hui naturally did not know that the person she was betrothed to, Xiao Dayong, had already returned.

On one hand, he had invited Xu Jingyao to talk to the Feng's disease who had obtained the reward, and had gone to hiding somewhere; on the other hand, he had to send someone to ask about the Xiao family's matters.

The person from the Xiao family was very tough. Even though Xu Hui had repeatedly said that she did not agree, she did not care. She just said that the marriage was decided and that his family would come to get married soon.

Xu Hui had yet to figure out how many hidden secrets, but she was afraid that Xu Jingan would be angered to the point that his body would explode. She did not dare to discuss it with him to think of a way to deal with this.

In the end, the Zhou's managed to think of a way to invite that matchmaking Auntie Li over for a meal, and asked him about the Xiao family's matters from the outside.

Auntie Li drank quite a bit, and had already accepted the reward money. Since the marriage had already been set, the Xu family, as an outsider, naturally could not and did not dare to break the engagement.

When Zhou's heard this, his face turned pale white, and his heart felt waves of coldness.

It turned out that although this Xiao Dazong was strong and strong, he was currently in the vanguard camp, where the military camp he was in was where the vanguard camp was located. When they started fighting, they would be running at the very front of the army, which meant that as long as Xu Hui could get married, he would be prepared to be a widow all the time.

Although the Xiao family had a house and a place, the situation was very complicated.

The Xiao family had moved over from the north to earn a living twenty-five years ago because of the Imperial Court's policy of dividing the troops into military fields and taking advantage of the situation. The son of the Xiao family, Xiao Hai, had enlisted in the Military and thus lost his family. However, he did not expect Xiao Hai to die in battle before the age of forty, because the second son of the Xiao Family, Xiao He, was crippled and had no son, the third son, Xiao Hu, had already studied for several years and was about to take the child student examination. In the end, the Xiao Family decided to let Xiao Hai's eldest son, Xiao Dazong, take over Xiao Hai's position and continue joining the army.

It was understandable for the eldest son to inherit the responsibilities of a father. However, among the people that were close to the Xiao family in Xiao Jia Village, there were a few rumors spreading, saying that the Xiao family had already treated Xiao Hai's family as part of the Military since young. In other words, Xiao Da Yong's mission in the Xiao family was to live and fight. After that, he would have his son continue to fight in order to prevent the other two families' disciples from joining the army.

The move of the Xiao family's elders could be said to be too ruthless. Even though the Military was endless and the children and grandchildren were all going to join the army, the Xiao family treated Xiao Da Yong's house as cannon fodder and blocked him from the front of the family. They had long excluded him from the family, but naturally took over the family's salary and benefits he earned for the family.

The people of the Xiao family were naturally not confused as well. They knew that it would be embarrassing to speak of this matter, so they hid these dark thoughts in their hearts, not even Xiao Dayong knew about it.

Zhou's also heard that Xiao Da Yong's father had died and that his mother was very ill. Right now, there was only a 5-6 year old girl left in the family, and the Xiao family wanted Xiao Da Yong to leave a seed before the war started. What if he died and his son inherited the Military?

How could such a marriage work? Even if they offended someone, they would have to think of a way to withdraw!

Where the hell did that Feng's disease run off to after getting the reward?

She had always thought that the Feng's disease was selfish and mean, without brains. Although he hated her, he did not think much of her and would only teach her a lesson after Xu Jingan had recovered. Who knew that it would be this clown who had caused her to fall into such a mess. The Xiao family had lived here for dozens of years, and their family members were young and old.

Furthermore, Xu Hui had some different thoughts on this marriage. She had wanted to end it no matter what at the beginning, but when she heard the matchmaker say that Xiao Dayong was in vanguard camp, and was even considered important by the field officer, her heart skipped a beat.

There were two things that troubled Xu Hui at the moment. One was money, and the other was the servants who would arrive next month.

Because the war was about to start, the main force prepared to go to the battlefield day after day, while the rest of the army prepared to go to war. Hu Xiaoqi spared Xu Jingan this month's hard work for the sake of the gold leaf. But next month, Xu Jingan would definitely have to go to work.

Right now, Xu Jingan's body could at most be said to be improving, there was still a huge gap between him and normal people. Going out of bed and getting supported by people, where would he be able to go and do manual labor, wasn't that just asking for his life?

But now, Xu Jingyao was going to the battlefield, and his eldest son, Xu Yu, was working in the Camp every day before turning thirteen, while his younger brother was only five years old, there was no one who could replace him.

Xu Hui saw that time was running out and it was only a few days before the end of the month. She was so worried that she could not sleep soundly at night. Xu Hui felt that this marriage was worth it. With her personality, even if she went to the Xiao family, she would not be afraid of being bullied. At worst, she would just divorce her after making a ruckus.

The matchmaker, Auntie Li, quickly received news that the Xiao family's Xiao Dazong had returned. The Xiao family wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible, and would send people to escort the bride the day after tomorrow.

Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu finally appeared, but the fifteen silver had already been used up by them, causing Xu Jingan to angrily stand up and slap Feng's disease on the head. He was about to divorce her.

Feng's disease was not afraid now, Qiao Jieer was about to get married, the children were all young, if Xu Jingan were to divorce her, her family life would not even go so far.

Feng's disease covered her face as she cried and shouted, "Forget about it, you have forgiven me, and let everyone know that there is a mother who has been abandoned in Ruigol. My poor Zhu Er, Ruigol, you're still so young. To think that he would meet such a heartless father. They were all children, why was there only one side of them that was in pain? The Xiao family has their own home and lands. Qiao Jieer will marry into their family and live a good life, and our family will have money to treat your illness. Even if you guys beat me to death, I have no other choice. At worst, I'll just bring Zhu Er and Ruigol and die together, wuu. "

Xu Hui saw that Xu Jingan was so angry that his face turned pale. She quickly supported him inside the house, exhorting him as they walked, Xu Jingan's eyes were filled with tears and guilt as she said, "It's all father's fault. Father was blind. How could he marry a tough man when he was a daughter who had grown up like a pearl and was as precious as a treasure?

Xu Hui helped Xu Jingan smooth his chest and gave him a bowl of water to drink, then said: "Father, don't be too angry, I have thought it through, anyways, we are getting married, I am already 14 and 15, in this situation, who can we marry if not the Military? I heard that Xiao Da Yong is a loyal and honest person, and is even the commander of vanguard camp. If I could help him, I would have thought of a way not to send you to work! "

"What are you thinking of doing now? I would rather go to work than let you marry such a person! " Xu Jingan's heart was in a mess, he had even thought of leaving his daughter back then to the Wu family, even if he had to live his life as someone else, marrying an honest man from a small clan would be better than him suffering so much, and would also have to marry a rough man!

Xu Hui comforted Xu Jingan for a while and finally calmed him down. After drinking the medicine, she slowly fell asleep.

He took the remaining 10 taels of silver and the jewelry that Feng's disease Xu Qiaozhu had obtained from an unknown place. Xu Hui and Zhou's Xu Jingyao explained their plans, Zhou's looked at Xu Hui with sympathy and agreed to ask the Xiao family for Da Yong to come meet him.

Xu Hui gripped the sharp hairpin and decided that if she could not negotiate with Xiao Da Yong, she would not marry him even if she had a reputation that she could not raise!

It was late in the night. Xu Hui looked at Feng's disease and Xu Qiaozhu who were hiding in the house and did not want to show their faces, put away the key in the cupboard, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Big Sis, there's someone outside our house!" Xu Rui ran into the house from the outside and whispered to Xu Hui, who was busy cleaning wild vegetables in the kitchen.

Xu Hui was thinking about how she would talk to Xiao Da Yong tomorrow when she heard Xu Rui's words. "Did you pass by our house?"

Their house was a complete mess, and they were surrounded by poor families. How could there be any thieves or thieves?

Xu Rui touched his child's hair bun, his face full of suspicion: "But he keeps looking in our house? "It's a tall man. I've never seen him before. Elder sister, could he be a barbarian?" Xu Rui could not help but turn pale. Recently, he had heard people talking about how the barbarians killed people and set fires. It was said that they even ate children.

Hearing this, Xu Hui started to worry. She had heard from Aunt Zhang that barbarians loved to sneak attack at night the most, especially after the autumn when they collected the food. Xu Jingan was sick now, if he was really a barbarian, even if they ran, they would not be able to escape.

Xu Hui quickly wiped her hands and stood up: "Let's go out and take a look!"

"En!" Xu Rui quickly walked in front and led the way. Because he was afraid, he took out a wooden stick and held it in his hands, preparing to take that person for real. He wanted to act like a man and protect his sister. Father and Second Uncle both said that he was the only male in the family and that he needed to support the family and protect his sisters.

Xu Hui also felt uneasy, holding a sickle tightly in her hand. If it was not for the fact that Man Zi was alright, then she would have been a complete barbarian. Her martial arts skills were truly trashy.

The siblings carefully walked to a corner of the courtyard. Sure enough, they saw a figure hide behind a large tree at the side of the courtyard.

"Big Sis, it's behind the tree!" Xu Rui pointed to the direction of the big tree with a stern expression and whispered to Xu Hui.

Xu Hui pulled Xu Rui and walked a few steps towards the wall of the neighboring house, bent down to pick up a rock, and threw it with all her might: "Who's there? If you don't come out, I'll call for help! "

A tall figure walked out from behind the tree. Seeing that it was only one person, Xu Hui was not so worried. Wei Dashan and Wei Xiaoshan were both strong kids next door.

"Don't, don't shout!" It was a deep baritone. It was not difficult to hear, but it also sounded very nervous.

Xu Rui could tell that the other party was nervous and his heart relaxed even more. He lowered the sickle in his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

"I … I … I am … I am Xiao Da Yong." He started to stutter.

Xiao Da Yong?
