Chapter 572 Encourage
"That's the right thing to do. You are a married girl. No matter how the Xia family treats you, your father, your uncle, and your aunt are all good. It's right for you to give them a New Year's gift." Mrs. Zeng Heaps of praise on her.
He frowned again and said, "Every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, your father comes already. This year, it's almost noon, why haven't you come yet?"
"How about I send a maid to ask?" He added, "Let Chu Cang go, and we can go back and forth in two cups of tea."
Chu Xing's Qinggong is the best among the maids. It takes half an hour by carriage to travel between Chu's house and Xia's house. With Qinggong, you can get there in just one cup of tea.
"Well, let her go and take a look." Zeng said uneasily.
Xia Zihan called Chu Cong over and gave her many instructions.
Chu Cong flew away and did not come back until early noon.
"Master, the Xia family is quarreling." Chu Cong's face looked very ugly, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his eyebrows.
Xia Zihan was stunned, "It's Chinese New Year, what are you making a fuss about?"
Chu Cong said the matter in a few words.
It turns out that Xia Zihan gave New Year's gifts to everyone in the Xia family, including one for each person, except for Mrs. Xia and Xu's aunt and nephew.
The old lady's face turned black with anger and she looked gloomy. She cursed when she opened her mouth, "You little bitch, you are indeed an inhumane person. These people are already married. They don't come to Xia's house to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year. They don't even see New Year gifts." Come on, is she planning to disown her mother’s family?”
"If she doesn't recognize her mother's family, she should tell her early. I will go out today and tell everyone that the Xia family has severed all ties with her. From now on, we will never have any contact with her until we die. This will save others from saying behind my back that I flatter her, the future Princess Anjun." .”
His face was very embarrassed and twisted, and as soon as he opened his mouth, spittle flew everywhere, and it could spray from inside to outside the room.
Mrs. Xu, who was standing aside, quickly took two steps back to avoid being washed with saliva.
Seeing that the old lady was so angry, she took the opportunity to add a handful of firewood to the fire, "Yes, mother has to go to Chu's house to make a fuss. If she doesn't make a fuss, how will others know that the little bitch is just a bastard?" As for the white-eyed wolf, as soon as he got married, he didn’t recognize his mother’s family, huh..."
The Xia Zihan mentioned seemed to be raised in the Xia family and owed a lot to the Xia family.
Originally, the old lady didn't know about the gift-giving. Mrs. Xu went to see Mrs. Liu and happened to see the gifts piled up in her room, which had not yet been opened.
When Mrs. Xu left, she asked the maid in Mrs. Liu's yard, and then she realized that the gift was a new year's gift from Xia Zihan.
Mrs. Xu thought to herself that even Liu, the eldest aunt, had more, so wouldn't she, the nominal mother, have more.
But when Mrs. Xu went to the front yard to ask, she was told that most of the people in the house were there, except for her, her son, and the old lady.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Guo were able to get gifts from Xia Zihan, especially the two bastards born to their two aunts also received gifts from Xia Zihan, but she and her son got nothing.
She is also Xia Zihan's nominal mother.
Xu's face felt hot at that moment, as if she had been slapped hard by Xia Zihan in front of the servants, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed. She couldn't stand the look of contempt from her servants.
She hurriedly fled back to her yard, but she couldn't let go no matter how hard she breathed.
She found the person who was also forgotten by Xia Zihan, Mrs. Xia.
Old Mrs. Xia heard that Xia Zihan didn't give her a New Year's gift, but gave it to two aunts and concubines who couldn't stand the stage. Is this telling everyone that in Xia Zihan's heart, she can't even compare to the two aunts? superior?
Thinking of this, the anger in Mrs. Xia's stomach started to rise. She opened her mouth and started to curse.
Mrs. Xu took the opportunity and encouraged Mrs. Xia to go to Chu House to cause trouble. Mrs. Xia thought about it and really agreed.
Just as Mrs. Xia gathered a dozen rough ladies and was about to go out, she was stopped by the elder and Xia Shiming who came after hearing the news.
When the elder learned that the old lady was just for a New Year's gift, he planned to take people to Chu's house to make a big fuss. His angry old face immediately looked like a rainstorm.
"Who said that Miss Chu Yu didn't prepare a New Year's gift for my mother? She's at my place. I planned to send my mother here after lunch. Unexpectedly, my mother..." She looked completely disappointed.
"Mother, our Xia family has inherited the world of farming and reading for hundreds of years, and is a scholarly family. Mother was also taught the Four Books and Five Classics by her maternal grandmother and grandfather. She is a knowledgeable and sensible person. How...how can you bring people to the Chu family to cause trouble? The Chu family belongs to the Chu family. Do you owe our Xia family, or do you feel sorry for our Xia family?”
"Speaking of which, our Xia family has failed the Chu family. Back then, our Xia family had to shoulder half of the responsibility for the death of our second brother-in-law."
"Chu Yu is the legitimate daughter of our Xia family, but she has been raised by the Chu family for more than ten years. All these kindnesses are owed by our Xia family to the Chu family. The Chu family owes nothing to our Xia family. We have never raised Chu Yu for a day. , it is reasonable for Chu Yu to be separated from us. How could mother... oh... mother, please, my son, please don’t cause trouble to the Chu family and Chu Yu in the future."
< br>
"We owe the Chu family a life. Does my mother have to give this life back in order to live in peace?"
Old Mrs. Xia's face was stern, her eyes were full of fear and fear, "Boss, what did you say? Why do you owe the Chu family a life, and why do you want to repay a life? You are crazy. How can our Xia family owe a life to the Chu family? That second brother Wife, she is a short-lived ghost and has no blessings. She died early, what does it have to do with us? "
"That Chu Yu is also what the Chu family is willing to take over and raise. It is what Chu Yu owes to the Chu family. What does it have to do with us? We don't owe the Chu family anything. No matter where Chu Yu grew up, she is We are the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, right? On the second day of the Lunar New Year, she is a married girl. Will she go back to her natal family to pay New Year greetings? But she... ignores her natal family and goes to her maternal home to pay New Year greetings. This is a red fruit. It really slaps our Xia family in the face.”
In short, Mrs. Xia didn't like Xia Zihan no matter how she looked at him.
Especially when she thought that Xia Zihan grew up in front of Mrs. Chu, she felt even more disgusted, as if there was something dirty on Xia Zihan's body.
Mr. Xia and brothers Xia Shiming tried hard to calm down Mrs. Xia, and then persuaded Mrs. Xia to go back to the house and gave up the idea of going to Chu's house to make trouble.
And this is the result of the Xia family's contribution to the annual gift given to him by Xia Zihan. Otherwise, Mrs. Xia would not give up.
After comforting Mrs. Xia, Xia Shiming dragged Mr. Xu away.
When he returned to Mrs. Xu's yard, he scolded Mrs. Xu, "Although Yu Niang is not raised by your side, you are her mother in name only. Look back, what have you done?" Was it done by humans? ”
