Chapter 1378 Pleading
Facing the fierce-looking Lu who was approaching step by step, Xia Zijiang was almost scared to death.
Finally, when Mrs. Lu stretched out a hand, he exclaimed in fright, and then begged, "Daughter-in-law, I...I beg you, don't...don't hurt me, I don't want to be disabled, wife, I beg you." You, I swear, I will never mess around again in the future, I... I swear, I don’t want money anymore, woo woo, wife, one day is a day for a husband and a hundred days, you are just looking at our husband and wife. For my sake, please spare me.”
At this time, Xia Zijiang no longer cared about his self-esteem or his face as a man. He cried with tears and runny nose. He suppressed the pain in his tongue and cheek flesh and begged Lu to make a sound.
He swore in his heart that as long as Mr. Lu let him go today, he would never use various means to get money again.
He will never buy birds again, nor will he watch cricket fights, nor will he buy cockfights.
Wow, all of this is not as important as one of his legs.
Lu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Oh, it turns out you can still talk. I thought you were mute."
"It hurts...it hurts when I talk." His tongue wasn't bitten off, it was just broken. Why was he mute?
"Daughter-in-law, please spare me. Think about it, if I am disabled, I will lie in bed for the rest of my life, just like a cripple. Then won't you have to be a living widow for the rest of your life?"
< br>
"Moreover, if I am disabled, you will have to send someone to take care of me. I am a big man, and I definitely can't take care of me by myself. It will take two people, and I can't live without them day and night. You are one of them." Forget it, that’s it, we need four servants. We only have a few servants in our family, and I only use four. So what about you and your son? Don’t you have no servants to use?”
"Besides, if I become disabled, I won't be able to take care of myself. No matter how well my servants serve me, the smell in this house and on me will definitely be strong over time. Wife, are you sure you can smell it? ?”
Xia Zijiang's head was racing very fast at this moment. He described everything he saw after he was disabled to impress Mrs. Lu.
When Lu heard this, her movements did pause.
She really wanted Xia Zijiang to be disabled and lie in bed for the rest of his life, unable to go anywhere or do anything.
She would rather have a crippled husband who can't do anything than a man who causes trouble everywhere. She is afraid that one day, after Xia Zijiang gets into big trouble, he will get her and her son involved.
However, Xia Zijiang was right.
Once he becomes disabled, she will buy a few strong wives to serve him every step of the way. Not to mention the money to buy the wives, even the monthly meals and food and drink for the four wives will be a huge expense. .
After she got married, she did have an inheritance in her hands.
In addition to the village and shop that the Xia family received when they split up, her natal family also gave her a small village, as well as money at the bottom of the box... However, the total income from these incomes is not much for a year, and it is only enough to support this family. Xiaojia's.
Now, after having a son, the family has a wet nurse and a little maid, and the chewing needs have also increased a lot. If I buy a few more maids, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to make ends meet.
And more importantly, once she crippled Xia Zijiang, it would be better if no one knew about it. But if her parents-in-law or the princess knew about it, would they let her go?
The problem with the princess is not big, the most important thing is the father-in-law. Looking at the father-in-law's attitude towards Xia Zijiang just now, although he hated iron and became angry, he asked his mother-in-law to stuff her a hundred taels of silver before leaving.
That was to treat Xia Zijiang's injuries. If the father-in-law didn't value Xia Zijiang or care about Xia Zijiang, he could not give her any money, but...it seemed that the father-in-law still cared about his eldest son.
After all, he is the eldest son. Even if he fails to live up to his expectations, he cannot tolerate being crippled by her.
How could you not care?
What's more, her father-in-law scolded her when he came.
She was scolded just for being injured. If it was for being disabled, would her father-in-law be so angry that she would divorce her?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu clenched her hands into fists and hesitated a little.
Although the two families had agreed when they got married that the Xia family was not allowed to divorce her, but if she made a big mistake by crippling Xia Zijiang and the Xia family wanted to divorce her, would the Lu family be able to stop her?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu stopped her hand and looked at Xia Zijiang coldly, "If you don't want to be disabled, fine, I'll give you a chance. Listen carefully. From now on, I will give you two taels of silver as pocket money every month. , no matter what you do, I won't care about it, but if you still do what you did this time , go to any lengths to get money, then I don’t mind beating you again, but wait until next time, you won’t just be injured a little bit, when the time comes, I will definitely make you suffer for the rest of your life. Don’t even think about getting out of this bed.”
Giving him two taels of silver as a month's allowance was Lu's minimum, and it was also to prevent Xia Zijiang from jumping over the wall and causing some serious disaster if he didn't have a penny.
In ordinary teahouses outside, a pot of tea only costs 20 cents, a steamed bun only costs three cents, a plate of peanuts only costs two cents... Two taels of silver is enough for Xia Zijiang to go to the teahouse for a month.
Xia Zijiang's eyes lit up, and then he cried with gratitude, "Daughter-in-law, thank you, I swear, I will treat you well in the future, wu wu... Wife, I... ah... it hurts..."< br>
Maybe he was holding back the pain and talking too much, but the tongue bitten by him hurt terribly. And because of his excitement, the broken ribs also hurt. The pain made him cry for father and mother, howling like a wolf.
"Shut up, it's so noisy." Mrs. Lu couldn't hear him shouting, her head hurt.
When she got angry, she took a rag from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and then scolded him coldly, "I'm telling you, I woke up my son, and I'm in a hurry with you."
"Just endure the pain, aren't you very good at enduring it?"
Her son was sleeping at the moment. He just fell asleep not long ago. Her son had a bad habit. After falling asleep, he would wake up easily. If he woke up without enough sleep, he would lose his temper. Crying and fussing.
It wasn't until he fell asleep again that he could calm down.
Thinking of her son's temper, Mrs. Lu felt a headache.
The idea from before popped up again.
She said, "You are injured and need someone to take care of you, but there are few people at home. As for my son... I want to send my son to my parents-in-law to take care of me. As you know, your father is a bachelor, good at learning, and good at teaching." , I want my son to stay with your father since he was a child. When he grows up, he won’t be like us, one is incompetent in writing and the other is incompetent in martial arts.”
