Chapter 127 Zhang's Visit
Not long after the original body was born, he was accused of being unrelated to his relatives. He lived a life worse than an animal for ten years in the second branch of the Xiao family. At the age of ten, he almost died in the Xiao family before he was able to break off his relationship with the second branch of the Xiao family.
Because of this incident, the third and second branches of the Xiao family had a complete falling out, and it was no different from saying that they would never have anything to do with each other again. Therefore, when people from the second branch of the Xiao family appeared on the side of the third branch, they were basically either causing trouble or trying to get money in various ways.
Before their family moved, the second branch of the Xiao family spent thirty taels of silver to arrange the engagement between Xiao Er and Lu Youfu, but not long after that, Lu Youfu ran away.
Now that the mother and son are here again, judging by Zhang's tone, it's natural for her to think that he should be in charge of this matter. I don't know where she gets the nerve to do that.
Before the other party opened his mouth to ask for the money, he said directly in a cold voice: "Zhang, you don't want to open your mouth anymore, right? If you don't want it anymore, I have plenty of ways to make you unable to open your mouth for the rest of your life."
In the past few years, Xiao Li's temper has been getting better and better. At least he is no longer like before, where people can clearly feel the indifference and murderous aura from him.
At this moment, his face turned cold, and his cold eyes were as sharp as a knife. He looked at Zhang as if he was looking at the cats and dogs on the roadside, as if he could take her life in the next moment.
Zhang was extremely bold, otherwise she would not have dared to ask a Taoist priest to label him a jinx and mistreat him for ten years just because she didn't like him.
When she first met Xiao Li's cold black eyes, she felt a sense of fear and subconsciously took two steps back.
But after she realized what was happening, she instantly became furious and angrily took two steps forward, staring at him with wide eyes, "What are you looking at? Even if you've severed your relationship with the second wife, I'm still your father. If you do anything to me, you'll never have a good life in this life!"
I don't want you to care about me and your father. Your eldest brother hasn't married yet. You should either help him find a wife or give him a hundred taels of silver so that he can get married. Otherwise, don't expect to have a peaceful life! "
Zhang almost died when she gave birth to him. Although she survived, her body was broken and she could not have another child.
Even after he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, Zhang still disliked him, and it was still the same now. Whenever she saw him, she would be reminded of the time when she almost died.
If possible, she would rather not have given birth to him, or strangled him to death when he was born, so that perhaps their second wife would not have fallen to this point, and her Man Jin would not have been unable to marry until now.
All this was because she gave birth to this unlucky person, which made life at home harder and harder, and she was even more troubled by the shameless bitch Lu Youfu.
If it weren’t for Lu Youfu, their family wouldn’t have been so short of money to get married!
"What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Li never accepted threats unless he wanted to. "If you think you can make me uneasy, then do whatever you want as soon as possible. As for wanting my help or money, that's impossible."
Not to mention his reluctance to pay, Lu Yuan was shocked by Zhang's shamelessness. "What does whether Xiao Er gets married or not have anything to do with my husband? Besides, who would ask for help like you, calling someone a vixen right away? Even if I could help my husband, I wouldn't!"
Lu Yuan squatted on the ground, slightly raised her head, and looked as white as a beautiful fairy in a painting in the sunlight.
Xiao Er only took one look at him and then lowered his head in shame. He pulled Zhang's clothes hard and said, "Mother, I won't marry anymore. Let's go back."
"Shut up!" Zhang slapped his hand away, put her hands on her hips and was about to go and argue with Lu Yuan and the others.
Before she could open her mouth, a large group of people rushed over from the village entrance.
"Zhang, what are you going to do?"
"Zhang, if you dare to cause trouble for Xiao Si, then you and your family will not be able to stay in Yangliu Village anymore!"
"Zhang, stop looking for trouble!"
"You have already severed your relationship. Xiao Si has no relationship with the second branch of your Xiao family. Whatever happens to you has nothing to do with them."
……
Most of the people who came were those who had just been in the ancestral hall. They all came here after receiving the tip-off from the villagers.
After all, if the clan leader didn't step in, it was unknown how long Zhang would continue to cause trouble. Even if they could drive Zhang away, they couldn't stop her from continuing to cause trouble for Xiao Si.
They couldn't solve this problem, but the clan leader could! The clan leader was also the village chief. If he really had the heart to drive people out of Yangliu Village, they didn't believe that Zhang would dare to continue making trouble.
Seeing Xiao Laofu also coming, Zhang's eyes flickered, but she still said stubbornly: "Even if the engagement is broken, he is still my son, and I don't want him to control me and his father. But Manjin is his eldest brother. If he hadn't instigated Manjin to marry Lu Youfu, how could our family become like this? He can't get the money back, isn't this his fault?
If he hadn't said anything and let Manjin marry Lu Youfu, would we still be so poor as to not have the money to get married? And who knows if he and Lu Youfu were in collusion to deliberately harm our family and Manjin.
It's been so long since those things happened, but I'm too lazy to settle accounts with him. What's wrong with asking him to give us a full gold coin to marry a wife or a hundred taels of silver? At this time, a hundred taels is not even as much as the thirty taels before. I'm not going to kill him! "
When everyone heard this, they looked at Xiao Li, and seeing that he was indifferent, they looked at each other in surprise.
If what Zhang said was true, then Xiao Si seemed to have gone a bit too far. Even if he did not deliberately harm Xiao Er, the Xiao family did become what it is today because of his words.
You have to know that the second branch of the Xiao family had a very good life in the village before, but it started to decline around the time of their engagement with Lu Youfu.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xiao Si with a little more fear, and hurriedly tried to recall whether they had offended him and whether they would be retaliated by him.
"What nonsense! My husband is not that kind of person. Don't slander my husband without any evidence!" Others don't know what Xiao Li is like, but Lu Yuan knows.
She believed that her husband would not do such a thing, so she joined forces with Lu Youfu. At that time, her husband was almost fed up with her, so joining forces with her was simply nonsense.
Only then did everyone notice Lu Yuan, whose figure was mostly blocked by Xiao Li. Seeing him holding two children in his arms, they quickly realized what he was doing.
Although Lu Yuan was very angry at the moment, he still looked handsome, especially his elegant speech, which shocked the villagers and made them all feel doubtful.
Has Brother Yuan ever been educated?
