Chapter 4 I want to watch a show!
Zhang Qiuniang staggered a few steps, until Xie Yi held her up and stood firm.
Her eyes were blazing, and a string of words rushed to her mouth, but when she reached the end, she stopped behind her teeth.
"Whatever her background is, it's none of your business! You shouldn't have any ideas about whether she was born to me or not!"
After Qiuniang said this, she rolled up her sleeves and walked out.
"Why is it none of my business? She grew up with the Zhang family's money!"
He caught up and blocked her path: "A girl of unknown origin eats and wears our Zhang family. How many years have our Zhang family allowed you to be taken advantage of?
"I started raising her when she was five years old, and kept her until she was twelve or thirteen years old! Treat her like a rich lady, provide her with fine clothes, food, and land, and give her the monthly money that we, Sister Ru, have, and she also has it!
"Not to mention too much, the cost of a few hundred taels of silver a year will be several thousand taels in eight years!
"Why should she, an outsider, spend our Zhang family's money? It's not enough for the Zhang family to support your Xie family, why should they help you support outsiders?!"
"Bah!" Zhang Qiuniang turned back: "No matter who we raise, it was my father who invited us back. No matter how many flowers there are, the old man is still in charge. What does it have to do with you?!"
"What about these three hundred taels?!" Mr. He slapped the receipt, "This is the cost of registering Sister Jia's son. This is not money for chewing. You can't count this, can you?
< br>
"If you don't give it, then I will go to the county government office to ask for an explanation! The county government office must still have the documents from that year. Whether she is a family member or a bastard, the county magistrate will definitely have an explanation!
"As long as she is not a nephew of our Zhang family, then the Zhang family paid this money on her behalf, and she has to pay it back to us!"
Qiuniang was so angry that she trembled: "Go ahead and dream! Whether she was born to me or not, she is my Zhang Qiuniang's daughter! If you dare to touch her, I will fight with you!"
"Can you have the final say?" Mrs. He sneered, pressing forward step by step: "If she can't pay the three hundred taels within three days, then you can take over the house!
"If you don't get the house, then she will marry me to the Li family!"
He didn't stutter a word when she said this, and I don't know how many times she thought about it behind her back.
Zhang Qiuniang was about to come forward to argue again. Xie Yi looked at the ladies surrounding He and quickly took Qiuniang out of the door, half hugging and half pulling her.
But Zhang Qiuniang couldn't get any more angry, and kept pointing at the Zhang family and yelling at her.
It wasn't until he entered his own house that Xie Yi let go of his hand and asked while panting and wiping away sweat: "Mom! Is what she said true? My sister, she is really——"
"Shut up!" Qiuniang glared at him, "Do you believe anything that comes out of a dog's mouth? If you dare to talk nonsense in front of your sister, I will beat you to death!"
……
Lu Jia ate all the water and cake, then lay down for a while, gradually regaining his strength.
Xie Yi asked her why she was happy, of course she was happy!
Unexpectedly, after she chose to die with Jiang, her soul would return to this fifteen-year-old body!
Two months before he decided to flee, Lu Jia received the sad news that A Niang and Xie Yi died in poverty in Tanzhou. Before that, she had obviously written a letter, saying that she would definitely be able to escape from the Yan family and return to Tanzhou to reunite with them before the Qingming Festival at the latest, but she didn't expect that she still didn't have time.
Lu Jia was abandoned when he was five years old. Without these adoptive parents, Lu Jia would have died in the wilderness long ago. During the ten years that followed in the Xie family, she had a time of great happiness, regardless of whether she was rich or poor.
As an adopted daughter who was beholden to the Xie family, how could she still stay in the capital after learning the bad news?
As the matchmaker, Lu Jia's wife, Miss Sun, should not have been absent from the Yan family's mourning hall, but this funeral was her best chance to escape.
So she deliberately angered Yan Qu, the beast, and was ordered to be grounded in the backyard.
Although she suffered a severe beating, as long as she could get what she wanted, she didn't mind one more time.
At the same time, it can be seen that the escape from the Yan family was not only due to the death of A Niang and Brother Yi.
For all the injustices Lu Jia suffered in his previous life, Yan Qu and the Yan family were the executioners, but the Jiang family was the culprit!
From the day she was married into the Yan family, she had been thinking about leaving all the time. She wanted to accumulate strength and settle everything before returning to Beijing, settling accounts with the Jiang family one by one, and collecting debts from her!
The pain of the sword piercing her chest and abdomen seemed to still exist. From the desperate situation to the present where her mother-in-law and her brother were safe and healthy, it only took a moment to close her eyes and open them. If she had known this, she would not have to remember that burden before she died. .
——Yes, did the masked assassin escape successfully?
Lu Jia had been living in the capital for six years, but rarely went out. The man's mask was made of shiny sterling silver, and his slightly messy hair was as black as ink. He was well-dressed, with a black brocade robe underneath his exquisite mink fur cloak, and a pair of shoes that were 90% new and embroidered with fine silver thread. In addition, Lu Jia looked at his hands. They were slender and rosy, and he wore jade-spotted fingers.
Lu Jia really doesn't know that in today's world, even being an assassin has to dress so well?
Wearing a fur cloak worth hundreds of taels of silver and going out to destroy the family, can the beheading speed be faster?
“Aniang!”
While steaming taro in the kitchen, Xie Yi's call from outside interrupted her thoughts.
She looked out of the window and saw Xie Yi running quickly to the backyard.
Lu Jia walked out of the door: "Aniang is back?"
Xie Yi glanced at her, then at the inner courtyard, then stamped his feet and ran over: "Aren't you coming back? I guessed it right, A Niang and the He family are in love!
"Fortunately, you asked me to go in time. If it had been any later, the stick would have hit my leg!"
Lu Jia was relieved when he heard that Qiuniang was fine. In her previous life, Qiuniang was injured in the leg by the Zhang family, which put the family into an even more difficult situation.
She wiped her hands and went to the backyard to see Qiuniang.
Xie Yi held her back: "You'd better not go, my mother is angry! He pulled out a piece of paper from somewhere and said, "Say, we owe them three hundred taels of silver, let us pay it back!" Come to our house as soon as possible. If you don’t, I’ll let you marry Li Er! That’s not just talk. My mother-in-law’s momentum was weak in the end.”
He was afraid of being beaten to death, so he could only speak from beginning to end.
Lu Jia said: "Third evidence?"
Xie Yi pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
Lu Jia's eyes widened: "What's going on?!"
Xie Yi couldn't hold it in any longer and stamped his feet and said, "Ms. He said that was written by my grandfather to give you the Yashang registration certificate in Shawan County!"
Then, he poured out all the beans he heard poured out of the bamboo tube.
"Do you think the Zhang family has gone too far to bully others? My grandfather was favored by our Xie family, so when he learned that the Xie family was in trouble, he immediately asked us to return to the Zhang family. This is what his old man said in front of the Zhang family, saying that my mother will never They are all from the Zhang family! Later, considering that people outside would talk about Dad, my grandfather built another house for us to live in.
"At the beginning, we even created a document stating that this is the property of the Xie family. Although he contributed the capital, it was to repay his grandfather for supporting him!
"Now she is actually asking for money and a house in a roundabout way, and is using you to force a marriage to get what she wants. Then what is the help that the Xie family gave to the Zhang family back then? Without our Xie family, her He family and the Zhang family brothers could not How can these white-eyed wolves live like this? "
Amidst Xie Yi's angry curses, Lu Jia finally understood that the reason for co-authoring the Zhang family's incident was because they guessed that she was not the Xie family's daughter?
With this in hand, they began to blackmail the Xie family unscrupulously, and then threatened to sell her to Li Er?
Lu Jia sneered twice, feeling that He's brain was really damaged by the door.
But then again - even if He had a handle on her life experience, it wouldn't be a big deal. Just relying on this to force her to pay back the money or get married, would it be too fussy?
Whether the Zhang family's business is big or not, there are a lot of things to do on weekdays. They don't have enough time to do this. Are they really going around in such a big circle just to make themselves sick?
After standing and thinking for a moment, Lu Jia sent Xie Yi away: "I remember that Li Chang's mother, Mrs. Liu, works as an errand for the Zhang family? Please ask her to get a set of clothes for a servant of the Zhang family to wear."
Xie Yi straightened up: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to watch a show." Lu Jia looked at him. "As soon as you get the clothes, go and tell Li Er that I'm awake." She whispered a few more words.
After hearing this, Xie Yi looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he were really looking at a Rakshasa ghost.
It wasn't until she urged her with a fierce face that he turned around and ran out.
Lu Jia dusted off the patches on his apron, turned to look at the Zhang family to the east, then returned to the kitchen with steady steps, took a bamboo tray, picked up the steamed taro in the pot and put it in a large bowl. , sprinkled some sugar on top, and took another small plate to put some crispy radish pickled in oil and spicy pepper, and carried it to the backyard.
