Xiao Li's disease saw the Zhang mother and daughter crying, and scolded them loudly: "Don't cry with me, do it in person, behind my back, you black-hearted woman, instigating your daughter to come here and ask for my dowry, it's all thanks to you making me up, you shameless thing! Pui! And Xiu Er, you little girl, your thoughts are all on your in-laws, what kind of bewitching soup did the Zhou Family give you? "

Xiao Xiuer could not help but cry out, "My father and mother get up early in the morning and go into the dark every day. When they are eating in the fields, all the good things are done by Third Uncle. All these years, my mother had never eaten a full meal, and even said that she had no money at home, so why did Third Uncle still have the money to buy a new inkstone platform? Master, could it be that I am not a child of the Xiao family? Xiao Xiuer's face was covered in tears, she was crying and gasping for breath, she looked extremely pitiful!

"You dare say we have treated you unfairly all these years? Now you want to settle the score with me? "Oh my god, what kind of granddaughter is this, she's clearly a bad at collecting debts!" When had the Xiao Li's disease ever been slapped in the face like this?!

Xiao He could not help but rush in, and knelt in front of Xiao Li's disease with a plop. "Mother, you, don't say it like that, Xiu Er is going out of home, the Zhou Family brought so many betrothal gifts, you and Father should give Xiu Er more dowry, I will work more on the job, and earn money for Father and Mother!"

Xiao Xiuer, Zhang Shi and the others looked at Xiao He in shock, they did not expect the usually extremely honest Xiao He to say such words.

When the Xiao Li's disease heard Xiao He's words, he was also extremely shocked. She did not realize that he had pushed the honest man to the extreme, and had instead felt that Xiao He was helping his wife force him to get some silver for the betrothal gift.

The Xiao Li's disease angrily slapped Xiao He's body. Not only did he not vent his anger, he ruthlessly hit him a few more times and cried: "Oh my god, what have I done?! I've raised my son's head with my piss, my wings are stiff, if I had a wife, I would have forgotten my mother! Second Brother, you're so disheartened. I was pregnant in October and suffered so much, causing you to grow up. For the sake of your leg injury, I sold all my dowry to save your life! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have treated you so easily. All the villagers came over to take a look. Second brother, you are unfilial. If you want to force your wife and daughter to death, let's see if each big guy will spit and drown you! "

Xiao Li's disease cried as he was about to rush out. Xiao He immediately hugged his mother and pleaded, "Mother, I didn't mean it that way, I didn't —"

"Not what? Second Brother, what do you mean by doing all of this? You angered Mother to this extent at night, how can you still behave if word of this spreads? How can Xiu Er get married? " Xiao Hu frowned as he walked up to Xiao Li's disease and pulled him along, staring at him with a stern face.

Xiao He could not help but shrink his head, his lips moved but he did not say a single word. When Xiao Li's disease saw Xiao Hu, his tears truly flowed down, such a shameless person like Second House actually dared to think of the silver that she prepared for Third Brother, it was all a paving stone for her, Old Third's, future achievements!

He's also stepped forward to support Xiao Li's disease, he glanced at the Zhang mother and daughter who were crying and said: "Second sister, I was just talking to you, Xiu Er is going to be married off, what are you doing? "Look at how angry our mother is. If she were to be angered to the point of being angry, who among you would be able to afford it?"

"The Zhou family sent over sixty silver taels as betrothal gifts. They have the money to buy the inkstone for Third Uncle, but they don't have the money to give my sister a dowry? Why are we so angry? "Milk is too weak!" Xiao Huaer saw that Third Uncle and Third Aunt would say something about them the moment they entered the door.

Xiao Li's disease was supported by Xiao Hu as he turned his head around and scolded: "A little girl actually pointed at my face and scolded me, what have I done to deserve it? Second Brother, your good wife and your adopted daughter are going to eat me! " Xiao Li's disease clapped his hands and began to howl again.

"Flower, I'll give you milk as compensation!" Xiao Hu shouted at Xiao Huaer with a gloomy face.

Xiao Huaer's body trembled from Xiao Hu's roar, tears rolling down her face. She bit her lips and did not say a word, she did not feel that what she said was wrong, she did not apologize!

"Second brother, what are you yelling at me about? Look at how angry you are. If it were my child, I would have slapped her a long time ago!" He's was on the side trying to fan the flames. To think that the Second House would actually have the gall to think of such a plan, they really deserved a beating!

Xiao Li's disease leaned back, and was about to fall to the ground, "What face do I have now? Second brother, why don't you just beat me to death? Let a little girl slap my face!"

Xiao He mournfully yelled out, "Mother, Mother …" Then he looked at Xiao Pao with a pleading look, but Xiao Pao only lowered his head as he smoked his pipe, not raising his eyes at all.

Xiao Li's disease howled as if he couldn't even breathe. Xiao He's face flushed red because of the pressure, the veins on his forehead popped out as he slowly raised his palm.

Mrs Zhang and Xiao Xiuer looked at Xiao He in shock. Although Xiao He was a simple and honest man, he had never hit a child before.

"Flower, I'll give you milk as compensation. Otherwise, I'll hit you!"

Xiao Huaer straightened her neck and grabbed onto Zhang Shi's arm. She did not say a word, and Zhang Shi and Xiao Xiuer also looked at Xiao He without saying a word.

"I don't work anymore, I can't work anymore …" Xiao Li's disease's weeping sounded out again. If she didn't force the Second Room to submit today, they would still have to think about the betrothal gift. Sooner or later, it would go against the heavens.

If they did not beat Xiao Huaer up, the Xiao Li's disease would not be satisfied, and the Xiao Li's disease would not stop its ruckus. It would be quiet in the night, and if this matter with their own home were to spread, how would Xiu Er marry anyone? Xiao He hardened his heart and was about to slap Xiao Huaer!

"Hey, what are you doing? How old are the flowers already? Second Uncle, it's not good for you to teach your daughter a lesson in front of everyone. " A clear voice interrupted Xiao He's palm that was about to hit him. Everyone looked towards the door and saw Xu Hui, who was wearing a green dress, walking into the room with a smile.

Xu Hui first turned towards the Xiao Li's disease, then curiously looked at his messy hair and asked, "Milk, what happened to you? Why is my hair so messy? "Could it be that I have a headache? I have a prescription for treating head ailments, so I should just prick it with a needle and let it bleed a bit. How about I prick it for you?"

"Scram to the side. What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Xiao Li's disease wiped his hair and stared at Xu Hui.

Xu Hui's eyes darkened. If this was not so disgusting, she would not have bothered to get involved.

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Pao, who was looking on coldly as if he was an outsider. He smiled and said, "I don't want to disturb Master's rest at night. I should at least tell Grandfather that I'm a sister-in-law. I can't just watch my sister get married like this."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't look for trouble here, hurry back to your room!" When the He's heard Xu Hui's words, he immediately went forward and tried to push Xu Hui out.

How could Xu Hui let He's meet him? She immediately took a step back and said loudly, "Some time ago, I sent a letter to Mrs. Zhang's home, and when my parents received it, they asked someone to send me a reply, and the person who sent the letter was an old family in the town. She told me about a new event in the town, and I heard that there was a family named Zhou Kai's Little Food Shop in the town.

This consumption was tuberculosis. In the ancient times, it was an infectious disease, and under such circumstances, the Zhou family still had to hide the matter of the Xiao family's marriage from the Xiao family. When Xu Hui received this news from Wang Daniu, he initially did not want to get involved in this matter. However, after seeing the gift that Xu Jingan meticulously sent over to him, and the fact that Xiao Xiuer was still a young girl that dared to fight for her future, she came to the house today.

"What?" Dazong's daughter-in-law, what did you say? With surname Zhou, running a snack bar, was it not Xiu Er's son-in-law's home? consumption! Oh my god! My poor Xiu Er, what are you going to do? " When Zhang Shi heard this, her body went limp and she collapsed onto the ground. Xiao Xiuer was also as shocked as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xiao Li's disease was also shocked, but Xiao Hu and He's looked at Xu Hui as if they wanted to kill him. Xu Hui lowered his eyes. It seemed that Xiao Hu and the He's knew about this. Yes, Xiao Hu went to the village to buy Ink Platform a while back, so he must have heard about some letter.

Xu Hui had made up her mind that she must not let Xiao Hu's family go easily in the future. She had to finish this battle quickly.

Xu Hui hurriedly took a few steps forward and said to Xiao Li's disease and Xiao Pao, "I heard him say that and was also worried that it was Xiu Er's son-in-law's home, so I hurried over to let my grandma know. With such a huge matter, we should at least send someone to investigate it thoroughly. I'll go back and take care of Niuniu now. This child, I don't know who told me that her brother lost his life in battle these past two days. He has nightmares every night, and wants me to catch that long-tongued person who spouts nonsense. See if I don't cut off his tongue! " After saying that, Xu Hui turned and left, her gaze inadvertently sweeping across Xiao Xuewu.

Xiao Xuewu shuddered under Xu Hui's cold gaze.

When he walked past Xiao Xiuer, Xu Hui's normal expression did not change, but he said in a low voice, "One cry, two fight, three hang themselves!"

When the stupefied Xiao Xiuer heard Xu Hui's words, she blinked her eyes.

Mrs Zhang had already knelt down towards Xiao Li's disease and Xiao Pao, her head banging loudly against the ground, "Father, Mother, we cannot just foolishly marry Xiu Er like this. We beg Father and Mother, quickly go to the town and inquire if Zhou Yanxing is really sick? If it's true, and if he's really sick, then let's quickly retire! "

Xiao Hu's eyes flashed, he shot a look at He's, who immediately shouted: "Second sister is speaking nonsense, not long ago, your son-in-law Zhou's family even gifted you a Mid-Autumn Festival, if you are really sick, why didn't I tell you? Dazong's daughter-in-law had only been married for a few days and didn't understand anything. What could a messenger know? It's not enough to make mother angry like this, how long are you going to go on about this? Xiu Er Hua'er, hurry up and get your mother back to her room! "

However, Xiao He kneeled down and begged, "Father, mother, let me ask around in town tomorrow. If there's nothing, it's naturally good.
