The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Xu Da made a pot of tea and the two of them drank by candlelight.

Xu Da slowly told him what he knew about Wei Dong.

Ten years ago, just after Weidong turned twelfth, his biological mother fell seriously ill and passed away.

At that time, Mr. Wei was busy taking over the management rights of the ferry, and he went to the county government every day to get close to Feng Nian.

His father didn't love him and his mother was gone, and the servants didn't take him seriously, so he had a hard life in the Wei family.

He was young and hot-headed and didn't want to have to face other people's faces in the Wei family, so he ran away from the Wei family, took a boat away from home, and planned not to return to the Wei family again.

Maybe God took pity on him and he met someone on the ship who changed his life.

This person was in the freight business and he spent three years teaching him step by step.

He spent another three years traveling on the sea to other countries on the other side of the sea, gaining a lot of experience and earning a lot of money.

When he returned to his hometown, he felt even more homesick.

After handing over the merchant ship given to him by his benefactor to his confidant and returning to the Wei family, he discovered that no one in the Wei family knew that he had been away from home for six years. He felt extremely disappointed with the Wei family.

When he was about to leave the Wei family once again, he met Mei Zhao, who made him fall in love with her at first sight. After getting married, he stayed in the Wei family and lived a simple life.

Xu Da met Wei Dong at the end of the sixth year of Yuanhe. In a shabby house in the north of the city, there lived a group of children who survived by begging.

It was at that time that many children were abducted in Suanzao County.

Xu Da and Wei Dong first met in that dilapidated house.

Xu Da laughed and said, "When we first met, we both thought each other was kidnappers and almost got into a fight. Later, after we cleared up the misunderstanding, we hit it off right away. I came up with the idea, he paid for it, and we built the nursery together."

"I didn't expect that he had suffered so much. Did he tell you who his benefactor was?" After listening, Tang Zhongbai lowered his eyes and thought deeply.

There are not many merchants in Wu Dynasty who are capable of going out to sea, and he couldn't guess who gave Wei Dong the opportunity for a while.

But he just felt something was wrong.

"No." Xu Da took a sip of his drink, "Do you still doubt him?"

Tang Zhongbai lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. I got to know him through you. Now that I think about it, I feel that this person is a little unfathomable."

It was late at night, and the roar of the cold wind whistling outside the house could be heard again.

When Tang Zhongbai returned home, Nanny Jiang was waiting for him in the house, warming up the food on the wooden table that extended outward from the edge of the stove.

"You eat while I talk." Nanny Jiang handed him a pair of her own chopsticks and sat down next to him.

Tang Zhongbai took it and responded.

"Yesterday at the beginning of the evening hour, Siqing came running over to me with a nervous look on his face and told me something."

Tang Zhongbai looked up at her, confused.

Nanny Jiang continued, "She said that after you left that day, she heard his father say a few words."

"What?" Tang Zhongbai took a sip of soup.

"You ignorant boy, I'll teach you a lesson later. She was worried that Feng Nian would harm you, so she came to remind you. She hoped that if his father did something wrong in the future, the Tang family would spare his life."

Tang Zhongbai paused while holding the bamboo, and put down the bowl and chopsticks heavily, "That depends on what he did."

Nanny Jiang sighed, "I didn't expect that in just ten years, he would become so mercenary and eager for quick success. My uncle originally planned to let you stay here for a few months, so that you can get familiar with the affairs of the yamen, and then recruit him back to his side. What a pity! I have already found out what he did in Suanzao County over the years and wrote a letter to the princess. I think your mother has received the letter, and your uncle should also know it."

She thought of her words and actions when she met Feng Siyao today, and her heart felt even colder.

Madam Jiang said disdainfully, "Also, don't get too close to that girl Siyao. Today, she openly and secretly said bad things about Miss Jiang in front of me. The princess hates people gossiping behind their backs the most. Among the three people in the Feng family, only Siqing has a decent character."

Tang Zhongbai remembered Lu Chaoyun's words and asked Nanny Jiang for advice.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Nanny Jiang was overjoyed and said, "This is easy to handle. I will come to propose marriage myself."

"But what about my parents?" Since ancient times, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers, and it seems inappropriate not to inform them.

"Don't worry. The princess told me before I came here that as long as you meet a suitable girl you like, I can come to propose marriage on your behalf." Nanny Jiang's eyes flashed, and some emotion passed through her eyes.

She finished collecting the dishes with a smile on her face and said, "You've been tired all day, go to bed quickly."

Nanny Jiang walked out of the door, heaved a long sigh, and smiled bitterly in her heart, "Senior brother, you took her away without caring about anything back then, and it has changed the Tang family's children's views on marriage."

Are you doing the right thing or the wrong thing?

But as it stands now, the results are good.

The little girl Jiang Muxia caught Madam Jiang's attention the first time they met.

She secretly sighed that Miss Jiang and the second young master's aunt looked so much alike.

This is also the reason why Nanny Jiang dared to firmly agree to propose marriage. I think when the princess sees Miss Jiang, she will treat her as her own daughter.

In the backyard hall, Tang Zhongbai, who had just finished washing, sat quietly on the bed. Thinking that Jiang Muxia would soon become his fiancée, he fell asleep with a hint of sweetness.

After daybreak, the strong wind still did not stop and the weather was freezing cold, so Li Jiyi decided to close the restaurant.

Everyone stayed inside and lit a big fire. It was as warm as spring inside, even though the wind was raging outside.

Just after the hour of Chen, Fuzi knocked on Jiang Muxia's door.

He shouted outside: "Sister Jiang, someone is looking for you."

Jiang Muxia put down the cards, wrapped himself in a thick cloak, and followed Fu Zi to the tavern lobby.

Guan Tiexin and Zhang Chuncao and his wife were waiting for her.

When Zhang Chuncao saw her, he bowed deeply to her and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, we are going back now. We came here to say goodbye to you."

Jiang Muxia looked at the strong wind outside that was blowing dead leaves everywhere and frowned. "It's so windy today, how are you going to get back?"

"I rented a car, but I have elderly people and children at home, so I'm worried!"

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Zhang Chuncao added, "By the way, I heard from Brother Guan that you wanted to buy a small courtyard. I wonder if Miss Jiang would like our small courtyard. The house is too shabby, just give me 20 taels. If you like it, I'll give it to you. I'm afraid I won't come back to Suanzao County in the future."

Her courtyard is not big, with only three rooms. After some renovation, it can be habitable.

"Okay, I'll get you the money right away."

Zhang Chuncao said happily, "Okay. I've entrusted all the paperwork to Brother Guan, and he can help with the transfer. Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Muxia didn't buy this yard for her family at first, she was planning to buy it for Ruan Fenfang.

A few days ago, I heard that Ruan Fenfang's brother got engaged. If she, an older sister-in-law, continued to live in her parents' home, it would only add to the conflicts.

Help her to the end, this money can be considered as an advance payment to her.

After everyone left, Jiang Muxia called Ruan Fenfang to the hall.

"Sister Fenfang, this little courtyard is worth twenty taels of silver. I will deduct half of your wages every month until it is full. Are you willing?"

Ruan Fenfang was speechless, her eyes reddened, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Fuzi, you will accompany Sister Fenfang to the government office to transfer the house to her name."

Ruan Fenfang bowed deeply to her.

As soon as they left, a bullock cart stopped outside the tavern.

Two girls jumped out of the car and saw her. They ran towards her, hugged her tightly, and sobbed silently.
