Chapter 2240 Lost Heart
Xu You is not stupid. He knows very well that there is nothing serious between Cui Xiniang and Xu He, and it is just Xu He's passion.
He would make trouble just to get benefits.
The Cui family did not disappoint him. They gave him Songxue, part of a good property, castrated Xu He, and asked people from the capital to help him murder Emperor Jingyuan.
This benefit was enough, and he was too lazy to waste time dealing with Mrs. Situ and the others.
only……
"Why are the Lan family back? Aren't they dead? They shouldn't be alive!"
The implication is to kill everyone in Lan's family and silence them.
"The Lan family cannot die and must be treated kindly. If they die, the reputation of the Xu family will be ruined!" Mr. Qianshan disagreed and handed Xu You a letter, a deed, and a drawing: "This is The letter was given by the Lan family. It is proof that they agreed to sell the Lan family's property, including Qihe Village, to the Xu family. The deed is from Qihe Village, and the blueprint shows the secret passage in and out of the villa."
When Xu You saw these three things, he weighed the pros and cons and finally gave up the idea of killing them: "They are sensible, so let's spare their lives for now, but let them control their mouths. If they dare to talk nonsense, I will no longer be merciful to them."
Mr. Qianshan promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, if they are disobedient, someone will clean them up without Mr. Hou taking action."
"Master Hou, Xue'er boiled hawthorn water and chilled it with ice cubes. It's sour, sweet and ice-cold. It's suitable for drinking at this time. You can try it." Songxue finished serving Cui Xiniang, and without rest, she came to serve Xu You again. .
Xu Youzheng took a liking to her, so he got up to pick her up, and sat on the chair together. After drinking two sips of hawthorn water, he said, "It's really cool and refreshing, like Xue'er."
This meant something. Songxue blushed and sneered: "Master Hou~"
With a soft voice and a sachet to cheer her up, Xu You couldn't hold back and immediately started to move his hands up and down.
Mr. Qianshan was almost blind. From Cui Xiniang's side to Songxue's side, Xu You was like a breeding animal, and his generation of counselors was assisted by such things. How sad!
"Resign first!" Mr. Qianshan left quickly, went to see Mrs. Situ and Mrs. Bai, and said to them: "The matter is over, you two ladies can go back."
Mrs. Situ was stunned, could she leave without even seeing them?
But she didn't ask any more questions. She only asked the Lan family: "Can they also come with us?"
Mr. Qianshan nodded: "Okay."
Mrs. Situ finally felt relieved and did not dare to stay any longer, so she left with the Lan family.
Mrs. Bai didn't stay long. After seeing the direct son of the Fang family in the camp, she followed Mrs. Situ.
After the carriage ran out of the camp, the Lan family breathed a sigh of relief.
When they took a break at noon, they went to thank Madam Situ: "Thank you madam for your help. If it weren't for your help, the Lan family would..."
When it comes to sadness, the Lan family shed tears.
For the sake of the safety of the whole family, the eldest brother of the Lan family shamelessly begged: "Madam, can we go to the place where General Situ is guarding to live?"
Mrs. Situ knew what they were afraid of. Thinking that she had already helped so much, she didn't care about helping again. She nodded and agreed: "Okay."
"Thank you madam!" The Lan family was extremely grateful. With the protection of the Situ family and the six jars of gold, the Lan family could finally continue.
However, the Lan family also lost a lot. The family property of several generations, including Qihe Village where the ancestral graves were located, were all gone.
The Xu family thought it was unlucky to bury the grave in Qihe Village, so they dug up the grave and took the coffin to a nearby mass grave for burial... Touching the ancestral grave was like killing a whole family. Such humiliation will never be forgotten by the Lan family!
But the Xu family is now powerful, so they can only endure it and beg Mrs. Situ: "Madam, when we pass by Yangcaopo, can you stop for a while? We want to pay homage to our ancestors... The Xu family gave the tombs of the ancestors of the Lan family to Where did you move to?"
What!
Mrs. Situ was so angry that she was trembling all over. The Xu family was really nothing. They just took away people's property and occupied the village, but they also dug up people's ancestral graves. They were worse than animals!
"Madam, please calm down. Don't be so angry that it's not worth it." The younger brother of the Lan family comforted him and said with a smile, "We are not in a bad situation. We are lucky to have met such a good person like Madam. We are now living like this."
Mrs. Situ was really kind to them. Knowing that her nephew was ill, she asked for his address and sent a servant from the Situ family to ask a doctor to see her nephew.
My father often said when he was still alive that compared to other poor families, the Lan family was already very lucky. At least they were rich. Even if they deserted the army or encountered misfortune, they would still have buried gold to use for their comeback.
Therefore, no matter what tragedy they encounter, they should not be too sad, cheer up as soon as possible, and live a good life.
He always remembered it, so he felt that his family was not too miserable.
After hearing this, Mrs. Situ looked at the young man's smiling face, and the gloom in her heart was dispelled a lot: "When we pass by the nearby health center, I will send someone to get some paper money and candles as sacrifices. You can go and worship. After you have done so, My ancestors, please report that you are safe before going to pick up your family."
After hearing this, the Lan family members saluted gratefully: "Thank you, madam!"
Mrs. Situ was so kind to them, and the Lan family was very happy.
The first thing Mrs. Situ did when she got home was to tell General Situ everything that happened in Qihe Village and the camp.
Finally, he cried and said: "Ms. sir, I know you are dissatisfied with that person, so you want to follow Xu You, but Xu You is not a human being like that person, he is a beast, and he is not worthy of your life."
Then he said: "If you want to help, you can help. Let's make peace with each other. I will take my children and grandchildren to live in another place, so that they will not be harmed by you!"
General Situ and his wife have been in love since they were young. They have been married for almost 30 years, and their relationship is still very good. Seeing that she has spoken out the words of separation, it is obvious that she does not agree with Xu You.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Don't cry yet. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. It's not just a matter of saying you don't follow... we know a lot."
General Situ handed her a handkerchief and a water glass, asked her to wipe her tears and drink water, and then said: "Anyway, I listened to what you said, and I will never help others do evil. But you have to promise me, don't be impulsive, and take your time." Come on, only after you have seen the right opportunity can you escape unscathed."
Mrs. Situ also knew that he couldn't help himself, so she nodded and said: "Sure, I listen to you...but you have to promise me that you must come back alive, and don't lose your life for someone who doesn't deserve it."
General Situ nodded: "Well, don't worry, I will disarm and return to the fields safely and take you back to your hometown. Let's plant peaches and tap rubber and live leisurely."
After hearing this, Mrs. Situ burst into laughter and said: "Planting peach trees is just nonsense I talked about when I was young. We should grow food. Food is much more useful than peach trees."
General Situ smiled: "Then divide the land into two pieces, one to grow peaches and the other to grow grain."
However, these words were just to coax Mrs. Situ.
He is now riding a tiger, and he is lucky to be able to save his family. As for himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to accompany her to live the life he looked forward to when he was young.
Unless the Wei Guogong line is resurrected, the best outcome for these soldiers will be to die on the anti-Japanese battlefield and be raised in peace and prosperity. That is just a dream!
