Xiao Li's disease almost fell to the ground in anger, not to mention when he heard that the people sent by the Zhou family wanted all of them to return the betrothal gifts, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He slammed the table and shouted at the people sent by the Zhou family: "Bastards with surname Zhou, we have not despised our son for being phthisic yet.

Xiao Hu could not help but cough, and grudgingly looked at Xiao Li's disease. How could he admit that his family knew that the Zhou Family was a phthisic monster, and had even married Xiao Xiuer?

The Xiao Pao knocked on his pipe, interrupting the Xiao Li's disease and said to the people sent by the Zhou family: "If you want to personally leave, then we'll leave. Let Zhou Defu personally come and tell us that you can't do it!"

Ever since the matter of his son suffering from consumption was spread out by your family, the Zhou family has been in chaos. Zhou Yanxing's mother was also sick, and everyone has heard that some people in the Zhou family suffer from consumption, his shop has no business at all, and his second son wants to split up. Right now, it's a mess, and Zhou Defu said that if you don't agree, they will go with you, but his family doesn't need to worry about his shoes.

"What?" This shameless bastard actually dares to trick us into meeting an official? Even if we do meet the county magistrate, we're still in the right. Let's see the county magistrate not use a board to kill those bastards of the Zhou family! "The black-hearted rotten their lungs …" Xiao Li's disease exploded into rage when he heard this.

The Xiao Pao glared at Xiao Li's disease, this foolish woman with long hair and short knowledge, the Zhou family was just a merchant family, and his family had scholars. If he were to meet his, what would he do about Ol 'Three's reputation in the future?

Xiao Hu quickly cut off Xiao Li's disease's scolding, and said to the people sent by the Zhou family: "It's just a dispute between the two families, if we were to meet the official, not only us, but the Zhou family will be in trouble as well!"

"Aiya, brother, it's better if a scholar like you understood what I'm saying. As the old saying goes, you shouldn't fight with the officials. Go to the yamen and strip yourself of his reputation!" That week, it was only out of anger that he said he was going to see the magistrate. Think about it, his son was going to die, his wife was going to fall ill, the family store was going to die, and there was also that troublesome branch family. "Since we're all part of the same family, we all want to live a peaceful life. Naturally, if we don't see the official, then we won't see the official, I will properly advise the Zhou family, but we should give way. After all, this lady hasn't been married off yet, so we should at least withdraw a large portion of the betrothal gift, right?"

"Of course, of course!"

In order to protect Xiao Hu's reputation and not affect Xiao Hu's future prospects, Xiao Pao Xiao Hu and the people sent by the Zhou family fought for a whole day, until their throats were filled with smoke, and finally set a number that everyone could accept — — Retreat to zero, refund to one hundred silver. The remaining twenty silver would be treated as the Zhou family's compensation to the Xiao family.

The Zhou family had already spent fifty silver coins to buy the betrothal gift and used it all on her. Now that she was going to take out one hundred silver coins, she would have to put thirty silver on the betrothal gift, and that would mean cutting off the flesh of the Xiao Li's disease!

But since Xiao Pao and Xiao Hu could not agree to it, the matter was settled like this. After flying away for a hundred taels, with another thirty, the Xiao Li's disease felt so pained that he was bleeding profusely. After sending away the people sent by the Zhou family, he complained that he had a headache and was unable to get up.

Xiao Xiuer's wedding became a farce, and those villagers who lacked new things could not help but discuss about it.

Although Xiao Xiuer was a victim, she was still a girl. Even if her fiance got phthisis and his reputation as the person who annulled the engagement was affected, the whole family still rejoiced. Although the reputation of annulling the marriage was not good, it still wasn't as good as marrying someone to die.

After this incident, Xiao He's family, which had always been like invisible people, was truly hurt by the practices of their families. Especially Xiao Hu, who had specially gone to the Zhou Family to inquire about Xiao Hu, but used fake news to trick them for the betrothal gift.

Xiao He and the Zhang family were no longer as obedient as they were in the past, especially Xiao Xiuer. After this incident, he no longer wanted to marry a rich man and live a good life, but wanted to be able to do it himself and recruit a son-in-law to support his family in the future. Even the youngest Xiao Huaer no longer faced Xiao Xuewu and started to dodge, instead starting to reveal a more aggressive side.

The changes in the Second Branch were seen by Xiao Li's disease and the others. Xiao Li's disease, who was pretending to have a headache, had a headache due to his Innate Qi.

However, Xiao Li's disease and the others gradually realised that the second house was really tough, they really had no other choice. Xiao Pao and the second house were old and could not work anymore, Xiao Hu had read and did not know how to plant land, He's was lazy and cunning, he only knew how to talk, and had to rely on the second house to do all the work inside the house.

So even if the second house turned out to be like this, other than scolding and cursing under the sky, Xiao Li's disease had no other choice. He could not split up his family right, right?

The atmosphere of the Xiao family became more subtle, and what was more subtle was the faint discussions of the villagers. Although the Xiao family had insisted that the Zhou family was cheating, no one was a fool. Gradually, rumors began to spread that the elders and Third Son's Family of the Xiao family wanted to sell the young girl from the second house for money. They knew that the young man had tuberculosis and yet they still wanted to marry the young girl.

As a modern person, she was extremely clear about how to lead the public opinion. Under the secret guidance of Xu Hui, the discussion about Xiao Xiuer being annulled decreased a little, and more focused on the sinister hearts of the Xiao Family's elders and Third Son's Family.

However, these rumors did not last long. The people of Xiao Jia Village were all attracted by another matter: The armored guards had won over the barbarians, and the command had defeated the Kepin!

This exciting news quickly replaced the rumors about the Xiao family and became a hot topic of discussion.

Xu Hui was also very happy to hear this news. She immediately went to Aunt Wei's house to inquire about Xiao Dayong's situation.

Aunt Wei said to Xu Hui happily: "Dazong's daughter-in-law, it's great that you're here. My man just sent a message and said that they are escorting the grain to Kepin, and will be back soon after delivering it. We have really won the battle, Kepin is a land that the barbarians stole from our hands in the past.

"Where is the Kepin? Is it far from here? "

Kepin is still more than 100 miles away from the thousand city center in the north. From that distance, the barbarians could be sent back to their lair. Dazong's daughter-in-law, you don't need to be afraid in the future.

"That's great, Aunt. Does Uncle know how my husband is doing?" "Where is it?"

"I don't know, your uncle is stupid, he can only do the work of escorting the supplies, the Da Yong is in the vanguard camp, I think they should be in there, wait a moment, it's cold out, once winter comes, we won't be able to fight, when the time comes, we'll definitely be back!"

Xu Hui felt much more at ease after taking a Tranquil Heart Pill. She did not spend the winter here, and hearing that Aunt Wei's expression would be especially cold, she quickly asked her about her preparations.

First, Aunt Wei told Xu Hui about the preparation for the winter. First, she told him about the firewood, and if she did not burn the brick bed in the winter, she would freeze the dead at night, so she had to prepare firewood for the winter before it snowed. Then there was the food, and she had to prepare food in advance for the winter because she could not leave before it snowed.

Xu Hui inquired about the details and went back to take Niuniu with him to prepare. It had been a mess at home these days, and she had been hiding in the cellar room with Niuniu to weave cloth to avoid trouble. They had not started preparing yet.

Last month, Xu Hui had weaved two pieces of denim and earned two or three taels of silver. Now, with the two or six taels of silver, she had almost five taels of silver in her hands.

Now that he had enough money, Xu Hui planned to prepare for the winter.

In order to not attract attention, especially the spying of Xiao Li's disease, Xu Hui and Wang Daniu had discussed and agreed to buy the things they wanted to buy and place them in the Wang family. Every day, when they were sending water, they would ask Wang Daniu to bring some over, and with just a little bit of it, they could bring in all the things Xu Hui prepared for the winter without attracting the attention of Xiao Li's disease and the rest.

However, after a few days, the weather became even colder, and the leaves on the trees had all fallen, leaving only the branches. However, after a few days, after a few days, the weather became even colder, and the leaves on the trees all fell, leaving only the branches.

He rubbed his hands together and started to order a charcoal brazier. She had asked the Wang Family to buy all the charcoal and they were then set to burn in the small charcoal brazier in cellar room. When weaving, Xu Hui felt that his hands were cold so he roasted them and also roasted some sweet potatoes.

Xu Hui lit up the brazier and thought that she had a brazier to roast it. She was not afraid of freezing her hands, but if Niuniu did not think of something, he was afraid that it would freeze.

Ever since Xu Hui helped the second house, the relationship between them and the second house was much closer. Niu Niu no longer followed Xu Hui every day, but was more like Xiao Huaer's tail, following her out to play, and only came back when it was time to eat. Xu Hui thought this was pretty good. It was just that children should be with children, and he looked like he was about to lose a child.

He's just couldn't watch. What Niuniu was so big that she did not work all day and eat nothing, and had to eat her own food and not eat anyone else's, yet Xu Hui said that she did not feel bad nor did she bother with others' hearts, making He's speechless. The He's cursed Xu Hui for being disrespectful to his elders. If he earned money, he would respect his elders. Of course, Xu Hui did not hear him and did not care about him at all.

Niuniu was out playing all day and her hands were as cold as ice every time she came back. Xu Hui wanted to make her gloves to warm her hands.
