Chapter 221 Departure back to Beijing
Mrs. Xia stiffened and said with a smile:
"The Xia and Chen families are in-laws. The old lady thought about it and decided to forget about the compensation. Do you think they are in-laws?"
Mrs. Xia looked at Granny Zhang with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang's mouth twitched. This old lady Xia was really able to stretch and bend in front of the magistrate.
Mrs. Xia held Chen Daju's hand and pinched Chen Daju quietly.
Chen Daju understood and said with a shy smile:
"That's right, mother. After all, I am your biological daughter. We don't want this compensation money. Mother, please help me explain to the magistrate."
Mrs. Zhang took a deep look at Chen Daju, who was smiling and winking quietly to herself.
It’s okay, after more than 20 years of raising her, I’m helping her for the last time.
It can be regarded as a mother-daughter fate.
If the Chen family came forward and refused to pursue the case, Xuzhi County would not say anything.
If it weren't for the sake of the Su family, Xuzhi County would not care about such a trivial matter.
He was just trying to scare the ignorant village women.
The woman who followed Mrs. Xia from Xiawan Village was already frightened. When she saw that Mrs. Xia was about to leave, she hurriedly followed her.
Mrs. Xia was very aggressive when she came, and when she left, she looked like a dog was chasing her behind her.
Only after leaving the boundaries of Xinghua Village did everyone dare to speak.
The ladies in Xiawan Village complained to Mrs. Xia when they opened their mouths.
"Daughter-in-law Li Zheng, your family knows the magistrate, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had known we would come with you, wouldn't you be harming us?"
"That's right. Can we get something good if we offend the magistrate?"
"What should the Chen family do if the county magistrate deals with us?"
……
There was a condemnation from the left and a condemnation from the right. Mrs. Xia, who was usually a powerful person in Xiawan Village, did not dare to say a word at this time.
Finally he got impatient and said:
"Okay, the Chen family is still the in-laws of my old Xia family, and Daju is the biological daughter of the Chen family.
Those are relatives connected by blood, connected by bones and tendons.
With Da Ju here, the Chen family will not let the magistrate deal with us. "
After Mrs. Xia finished speaking, she turned to look at Chen Daju:
"Daju, please go back to your mother's house with some things in a while and admit your mistake to your mother. How can a mother and daughter have an overnight feud?"
Chen Daju puffed up her chest confidently:
"Don't worry, Mom, I will do it. Don't worry, Mom."
It was only two days later that Xiawan Village learned that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a quarrel with the Chen family and were beaten.
My son and many men in the village are working long-term jobs and do not go home during the Chinese New Year. My family goes to the county town to collect their monthly wages on time.
Xia Lizheng went to the county town to collect wages from the men in the village these days.
After learning the cause and effect from his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xia Li was scolding them bloody.
"Two stupid women! The Chen family knows the county magistrate, how can you start a fight with him?"
Mrs. Xia whispered unconvincedly:
“Who knew that the Chen family was so lucky to know the county magistrate!
People like the county magistrate should not care about village women like us. "
Xia Lizheng glared at his mother-in-law:
"You know nothing! I have been working here for almost 20 years, and in a few years Xiawan Village will choose Xinlizheng.
At this time, you offend the Chen family. What if the Chen family says something bad about me in front of the county magistrate and loses their integrity?
Will the whole family follow the northwest wind?
Eldest daughter-in-law, go back to your parents' house tomorrow to apologize, and you must repair the relationship with the Chen family. "
Although Xiawan Village is poor, no matter how poor the village is, it can still make some money.
Without this little oil and water, it would be even more difficult for their little baby to go to school.
Chen Daju nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Dad."
However, when Chen Daju went to Xinghua Village the next day, she was rejected. She was not even allowed to enter the Chen family.
Even though Chen Daju was pleading outside the courtyard gate, the Chen family did not relent.
The old couple made up their minds that they must teach their eldest daughter a lesson this time.
Chen Daju came to bring Xia Xiaocao this time. Seeing that the Chen family ignored her, Chen Daju rolled his eyes and yelled at Xia Xiaocao:
"Kneel here for me. When your grandma forgives my mother, you can go back to the Xia family."
After saying that, he pushed Xia Xiaocao to kneel down at the door of Chen's courtyard, rubbed his frozen and stiff hands, and returned to Xiawan Village alone.
Xia Xiaocao wanted to get up and chase, but she was afraid of being beaten by Chen Daju, so she silently stopped thinking about chasing Chen Daju.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Zhu opened the courtyard door and pulled up Xia Xiaocao who was kneeling at the door.
Swearing:
"This Chen Daju is really disgusting. She actually asked you to kneel here and beg for forgiveness in the middle of winter. If she really wants us to forgive her, why doesn't she kneel down?
Xiaocao, that's true of you. Kneel down when she asks you to. You won't get up secretly when someone leaves. "
Mrs. Zhu was cursing, but she gently put a cotton-padded jacket on Xia Xiaocao.
"Poor baby, it's such a winter and I don't even have a proper winter coat."
Although it was cold in winter, Xia Xiaocao felt warm in her heart at the moment.
Every Chinese New Year, what she looks forward to most is coming to her grandma’s house.
Because everyone here treats her very well.
Xia Xiaocao looked at Zhu who cared about her and grinned:
"Auntie, I'm not cold. I feel warm as I work."
When Chen Yunzhi came to Chen's house, she saw Mrs. Zhu cursing and approving Xia Xiaocao's cotton-padded clothes.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Why is Xiaocao here?"
When Mrs. Zhu saw Chen Yunzhi, she was full of complaints, as if she finally had a place to vent, and recounted what Chen Daju had just done.
After hearing this, a black line slid down Chen Yunzhi's forehead.
What Chen Daju did was really weird and disgusting.
She took Xia Xiaocao's hand. The little girl was only about ten years old, and her hands were full of cracks.
"Come on, Xiaocao, let's go into the house, and my aunt will rub some hand protection on your hands."
Chen Yunzhi led Xia Xiaocao into the main room. In order to avoid Chen Daju, most of the Chen family stayed in the pig house.
Chen Yunzhi took out a jar of hand ointment.
Waves of gardenia fragrance wafted out of the porcelain bottle.
Chen Yunzhi touched some of it and was about to wipe it on Xia Xiaocao, when Xia Xiaocao suddenly withdrew his hand:
"Auntie, such a valuable thing is wasted just for me to use."
Chen Yunzhi smiled and said:
"You are my niece. It is wasted wherever you go. Sit still and let my aunt wipe it for you."
Applying the warm ointment to her hands, Xia Xiaocao felt a sore nose and almost burst into tears as she looked at Chen Yunzhi who was carefully applying the ointment to herself.
Her mother had never treated her so tenderly.
Xia Xiaocao stayed at the Chen family, and of course he would not let her kneel.
The Chen family now has no shortage of food for Xia Xiaocao. Besides, the little girl is sensible and can also help the family with work.
Chen Daju's plan to threaten the Chen family's forgiveness through Xia Xiaocao ended in failure.
Within two days, Chen Daju couldn't bear it and took the person away.
There was no one to do the work at home in the winter, so Xia Xiaocao couldn't help but go home.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Zhixian's father and son returned to the county town.
Qingxuan continued to study medical skills.
King Ding and Su Minan discussed that it was time to return to Beijing.
Those returning to Beijing were divided into two groups.
Su Wan and Ding Wang Su Min'an returned first.
When the capital is settled, Chen Yunzhi, Su Jingrui and Su Jinnian will return to Beijing.
In the evening, Chen Yunzhi packed Su Minan's luggage and did not forget to remind:
"When you go to the capital, you must protect your father and daughter. Don't be impulsive and be cautious.
By the way, let’s see how Sister Xu is doing over there? Is the hotpot restaurant open yet..."
