Chapter 891 Embarrassing
Tietou Niang is Granny Li’s daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Li's husband died of illness in her early years. She has two sons and a daughter. The younger daughter and younger son were not married before coming to Caojiacun. The eldest son took the decision to marry the eldest maid next to her, that is, Iron-headed girl.
Tietou was born after coming to Caojia Village, and is only over a year old.
After settling in Caojia Village, in order to stabilize Mrs. Li's family, the Xu family prepared a betrothal gift to marry Mrs. Li's youngest son. They also prepared a dowry and found a good family for her youngest daughter to marry.
For this reason, Mrs. Li's family was also very moved and tried their best to take care of the Xu family.
Perhaps Daxu had done too many bad things, and God couldn't stand her. In the third year after coming to Caojia Village, she suddenly got a serious illness. After the illness, her body became worse and worse day by day. Until now, The woman who was clearly only forty-three or four years old looked like a woman who was nearly sixty years old. No wonder Xia Zihan looked at her for a long time before recognizing her.
No one expected that in the capital, she looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties, but a few years later, she would suddenly have aged so much.
Xia Zihan's eyes widened in surprise.
After a while, Xia Zihan seemed to have come to his senses and ordered Tietou Niang, who was kneeling next to Da Xu, and said, "Hel your wife up, let's go into the house and talk."
Tietou Niang lowered her head, not daring to look at Xia Zihan. She just said yes in a low voice, got up, and helped Da Xu to get up. The master and servant followed Xia Zihan and others into the house.
The house was very clean and spotless, but perhaps because the Xu family didn't have much money on hand, the facilities in the house were the same as when Xia Zihan lived here in his previous life, so the Xu family didn't add anything.
"Tietou Niang, quickly make tea for the princess. Yesterday, I bought a plate of chestnut cake from the market. And...the strawberries, the strawberries in the backyard, pick the ripe ones and bring them in a basket... …”
As soon as Xia Zihan sat down, she heard Mrs. Xu mumbling instructions to Tietou Niang, and she said, "No need to make tea, just pour some boiled water."
Dashu's face stiffened, and she said with an apologetic smile, "The princess is a noble person, extremely noble. It's all my fault if you can drink the tea in our country. I didn't expect this, but the strawberries grown in my backyard taste good, princess." If you don’t mind it, you can try it.”
"Master, let me pick it. It's just right. I want to eat it too."
Chu Lin's face glowed and she was eager to try. After Xia Zihan nodded, she ran to the backyard as fast as possible.
Chu Cong also went, while Chu Fei stood motionless behind Xia Zihan.
Tietou Niang poured water, placed another plate of chestnut cake, bowed slightly and retreated.
Xia Zihan picked up the water glass and took a sip. Seeing that Mrs. Xu was still standing and not sitting down, she put down the glass and said, "Sit down. Although this house is mine, you are living in it now. It is the host, there is no reason for the host to stand and let the guests sit.”
Dashu's expression flashed with a trace of unnaturalness, and she explained naa, "Princess Princess, I...I didn't take it for myself without asking. I didn't know that Mrs. Cao sold this house to you. When Mrs. Cao left Cao When I returned to the village, I entrusted the house to the care of the village chief. I only temporarily stayed here with the village chief’s permission.”
Back then, when she came to Caojiacun, she fell in love with this house at first sight.
When she learned that Mrs. Cao's house was empty and no one lived in it, she guessed that Mrs. Cao and Cao Zian's mother and son might never come back to Caojia Village, so she started to think about occupying this house.
The house is not big, but the yard is big. There is a vegetable garden, a well, and a few peach and jujube trees. From now on, they will live here and take good care of the vegetable patch. They don’t even need to buy vegetables, so they can save money. A lot of money.
At that time, she bought soju candies and a few pieces of fine fabric and went to the village chief's house. In the name of Mrs. Cao's relative, she said she wanted to stay at Mrs. Cao's house.
She thought that after she had lived there for ten or eight years, she would go to the town to find connections and change the name on the property deed to her name.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cao actually sold this house to Princess Chu Yu. And Princess Chu Yu actually came to take over the house in person.
"Yes, I understand. However, the reason why I came here this time is to collect the house. Mrs. Cao won't let me get away with this trip, right?" Xia Zihan looked at her with a smile on his face.
That smile was very beautiful, but Mrs. Xu felt very cold. The cold made her want to shiver.
She tightened her hand on the crutch and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Princess, I have lived in this house for a few years, and I have feelings for it. The princess said that I want to take it away. I really can't bear it. I can No... Can you give me a price and I can buy this house?”
Princess Chuyu has a lot of money, so even if she offers a price, she probably won't look down on these small sums.
Dashu guessed that Xia Zihan's asking price must not be too high.
However, Xia Zihan refused flatly, "I don't want to sell this house, I want to give it away."
"Who do you want to give it to?"
"I won't bother Mrs. Cao with this." Xia Zihan's voice was a little colder, and then he raised his smile and looked at Mrs. Xu curiously, "Mrs. Cao, I'm very curious, why did you show up in Caojia Village? ? Mr. Cao, why don’t you live with me?”
Dashu's face suddenly turned pale and her lips were trembling, but no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was embarrassed to tell Xia Zihan that she was divorced by Mr. Cao.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she said uncomfortably, "It's quiet here. As people get older, they like this quiet place."
Xia Zihan smiled and stopped asking her.
In fact, she had already guessed some reasons from Da Xu's face.
Also, because she insisted on marrying Xia Ziying to Cao Huajun, but as a result, all the Cao family members were demoted from official positions and were not allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court for three generations.
For the Cao family, this is undoubtedly an irreversible disaster.
Such a daughter-in-law, not to mention Mr. Cao, even any member of the Cao family would not be able to tolerate her.
She has no one to blame for the Xu family being in this situation.
The bubbles on the soles of my feet are all caused by myself.
When she first entered the capital, if she had stayed on her own terms and devoted herself to caring for her husband and raising her children, she would not have ended up in this situation today.
But she wanted to provoke Mrs. Xu and frame her, and finally got entangled with the big scoundrel Cao Zian.
That time in the Xia family, the Xu family, the Xu family, Cao Huajun, and Cao Zian all united to frame her and destroy her innocence. If she hadn't been alert and led an army to push the girl out of the Zheng family, only She was afraid that she would be forced to marry Cao Zian like in her previous life.
No, if she was the one who fell into the trap, then she was not forced to marry Cao Zian, but Cao Huajun.
