Chapter 208: Mrs. Xu is dead
When I got back, I saw Zhang Da Nv and Wang Xiao Ya both lying in front of the bed.
Wang Xiaoya asked Jiang Xiaohe: "Cousin, why is she sleeping so soundly? We didn't wake her up even after all the noise just now!"
Jiang Xiaohe touched her head and said, "Let her have a good sleep."
"When she wakes up, can I take her to the village to play?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "You can take her wherever you want in the future."
Wang Xiaoya clapped her hands and felt happy.
Zhang Daniu looked at Xu Xiaohua and sighed slightly: "She is so pitiful."
"She won't be pitiful anymore." Jiang Xiaohe said softly as she looked at Xu Xiaohua lying on the bed.
At noon, Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua came back and scolded He Xiu.
It is said that because of this incident, He Xiu's in-laws almost divorced her today! If it weren't for the three children, He Xiu would have become a divorced woman today.
Wang Qiuxia said angrily: "She is not a good person at first glance. She likes to cause trouble for you all the time. Today, she even stole things and broke into our house."
After saying that, he patted Wang Xiaoya's head again and said, "Fortunately, our Xiaoya has sharp eyes, otherwise, it would be a loss of meat today, what if it was silver!"
Jiang Xiaohe comforted her: "He Xiu wasn't that bold, and at the time, I locked all the other rooms in the house except the kitchen, where people came in and out frequently, so she was able to take advantage of the opportunity. Fortunately, she didn't get lost."
Wang Qiuxia nodded, and Zeng Hua stood up and patted his apron: "Now that the matter has been resolved, I will go back."
"Thank you, Second Aunt, for today."
"If we talk over there, it's just a matter of a few words!" Zeng Hua waved his hand and went outside.
Wang Qiuxia turned around and asked Wang Xiaoya: "What do you want to eat at noon? I'll make it for you."
Wang Xiaoya's eyes lit up: "I want to eat the sweet meat made by my aunt."
"Okay, I'll do it for you now!"
"I'll light the fire for my aunt."
On the other hand, in Zhang Xiu'e's family, the couple insisted on taking her daughter Xiu Lian to live with their stupid son.
Xu Xiulian was crying at home and Zhang Xiu'e was helpless. Finally, she compromised and said that she would return the two taels of silver to them, but the two of them refused to do so.
Xu Xiulian is already an adult, with big breasts, a slim waist and a nice butt. It's obvious that she can give birth to a son. If we take her home to be their daughter-in-law, it would be much more cost-effective than two taels of silver.
Zhang Xiu'e was so angry that she couldn't do anything. Xu Yuanshan and her two sons were not at home. She had to endure a lot of anger. In the end, she spent five taels of silver to send the two fetal spirits away. She felt sorry for the money, and at the same time, she cursed Zeng Hua and Jiang Xiaohe's ancestors for eighteen generations. She was not convinced, so she also cursed Xu Xiaohua, asking her why she didn't die outside and had to run back...
When the bedridden old lady Xu heard Xu Xiaohua's name, she got up from the bed, pointed a stick at Zhang Xiu'e and asked, "Didn't you say that Xiaohua was given to your parents as a child bride? You lied to me!"
As he said that, he picked up a stick and hit her.
Zhang Xiu'e was not afraid of her. She grabbed the stick she was hitting at and pushed it towards her: "You old thing! Don't be ungrateful. Be careful or I'll cut off your food supply!"
After saying that, he pulled Xu Xiulian and went back into the house.
Poor old lady Xu was pushed to the ground by her. She wanted to get up, but she felt that she could not move at all. In the end, she could only look up at the sky and cry silently, cursing: "Zhang Xiu'e, you vicious woman! You will not die well! My son, I am sorry for you! Old man, please take me with you!"
The midday sun was shining brightly. She cursed a few times, but finally she couldn't curse anymore. She just felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat. Soon after, she died.
Zhang Xiu'e was the first to hear her scolding, and she even yelled a few words in the house. Finally, she heard no sound and thought that the old woman had calmed down. But when lunch was ready, the old woman was still lying on the ground.
She ran up and kicked her twice in anger: "Old woman, why don't you get up after dinner?"
But after kicking her twice, there was no movement from Old Lady Xu. Her eyes just stared at her without blinking. She then realized something was wrong. She quickly bent down and touched her nose with trembling hands. As soon as she touched it, she was so frightened that she went limp and fell backwards, sitting on the ground.
She shouted, "Xiu Lian, Xiu Lian!"
Xu Xiulian was eating, and she became impatient when she was yelled at: "What are you yelling for!"
Zhang Xiu'e pointed at Mrs. Xu lying on the ground with shaking hands: "Your grandma, your grandma... is dead!"
Xu Xiulian didn't believe it at first. The old woman had been holding on for a year. Every time she was thought to be dead, she came back to life again. It was really torturous. But when she lowered her eyes and saw the old lady Xu's wide eyes, she screamed in fear.
Jiang Xiaohe and her friends had just finished their meal when the news of Grandma Xu's death spread throughout the village.
Wang Qiuxia said, "It is said that the couple quarreled at home, and Mrs. Xu heard it all. She then realized that Xu Xiaohua was sold, not given away, so she quarreled with Zhang Xiu'e at home. Zhang Qingming's family next door heard Mrs. Xu scolding Zhang Xiu'e in the yard, saying that she was sorry to Xu Laoer, etc. I think she was probably angry to death in the end."
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head slightly: "She knew that Zhang Xiu'e was not a good person, but she let her make the decision about Xu Xiaohua... In fact, she didn't care much about Xu Xiaohua. When Zhang Xiu'e told her to give Xu Xiaohua away, do you think she really believed it? She was just gambling that Xu Xiaohua would live a better life after leaving here, but she didn't expect that Xu Xiaohua would live such a miserable life, so she just felt guilty."
After Jiang Xiaohe finished speaking, she didn't want to say anything more about this matter. After all, it was not just Zhang Xiu'e's fault that Xu Xiaohua was in this state. If it weren't for the old lady Xu who indulged Zhang Xiu'e blindly, would Zhang Xiu'e really dare to bully Xu Xiaohua to such an extent?
