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

Liu Xuer and Jiang Muxia went to the Wei family together.

The three-story courtyard of the Wei family was small but exquisitely decorated for convenience. As they seldom lived here, the servants in the house were an old couple who guarded the courtyard all year round and three or five maids brought from Suanzao County.

Mei Zhao's personal maid Mei Hua welcomed the two of them into the main courtyard and main room with a smile.

"Sister Meihua, I haven't congratulated you yet." She raised her hand, and Qinghong handed her a delicate little box. She opened it and put it in Meihua's hand. "I wish you and Brother Weilan will be together forever, and have a baby soon."

Meihua blushed and took it openly. She took a look at it and was surprised. In the box was a jade rabbit carved according to her zodiac sign. It was snow-white and had a pair of red eyes that alerted people to any movement elsewhere. It was very cute.

She smiled and knelt down to salute, "Thank you Miss Jiang."

After bringing the person to the warm room, the maids who accompanied them retreated outside the room.

"Where's the little one?"

"He's asleep." Mei Zhao pointed to the inner room, with a look of disdain on his face, but a loving light in his eyes. "The brat made too much noise on the way here, and he collapsed when he arrived in the capital. He has been listless for the past two days and hasn't eaten well. I asked a doctor, and he said he was too tired and needed to stay in bed to rest."

Liu Xu laughed out loud, "A two-year-old child is at the age of playing and making noise. He was excited about the road and became restless after a while."

"Well, you will understand when you become a mother. I have not had a good night's sleep since he was born. Look at me, my energy and spirit are much worse than before. The brat keeps pestering me for a sister. If he has another one, I will be exhausted to death."

Jiang Muxia has a deep understanding that once you become a mother, you are no longer yourself.

No matter how incompetent the husband is, a woman in the family has the hardest and most thankless job.

But Mei Zhao was a wealthy businessman, so who asked her to do everything herself? She really didn't know how to enjoy her blessings.

When she thought about the life-threatening situation she had when she gave birth to Dou Ding, she understood.

Jiang Muxia was afraid that talking about the past would make Mei Zhao sad, so she changed the subject and brought the topic to what happened this morning when Tang Yun and Tang Rong had caused trouble for her and were scolded.

"You just came yesterday, and I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't tell you." Mei Zhao called Meihua and handed a booklet to Jiang Muxia, "This is the details of the third branch of the Jiang family that I asked someone about. The third branch is Tang Zhongbai's grandfather. Since the separation of the family, the family tradition is upright and the inner house is clean. He has only one son and one daughter. The son is Tang Zhongbai's father, and the daughter is..."

She paused, looked up at Jiang Muxia, and saw that she was flipping through the booklet carefully without any reaction, so she continued to speak.

Jiang Muxia raised her head from the book and interrupted her with a smile, "Sister Mei, I know the aunt you are talking about. Chu Ruo is her husband and my adoptive father. She is also my adoptive mother. They are long gone. A woman who left home for love, even if she passed away, her husband still stayed with her and never left her. Her life was worth it. We are both women, so we can understand her. Right, sisters."

Mei Zhao was startled. She knew Chu Ruo. He cured the plague in the county with just one dose of medicine. He was a famous doctor in the Dawu Dynasty. She didn't expect that he had such a deep connection with the Tang family.

Liu Xuer nodded at her, and she smiled and responded, "Of course, such a loyal and righteous man is definitely worth it."

She praised Tang Zhongbai to the utmost, "No wonder County Magistrate Tang is so affectionate to me, it turns out everyone in his family is infatuated with love. I'm so lucky to have you in the future!"

"Your sister-in-law comes from a noble family, she is gentle and kind. Besides, you don't live in the capital all the time, Tang Zhongbai is the best choice for you."

"As for the intrigues of the other two houses, don't worry about them. Those stupid guys will kill themselves sooner or later."

Jiang Muxia closed the book with a snap. "Thank you, Sister Mei. I'll take the book."

Let’s go back to Tang Zhongbai who returned to the mansion last night.

He dismounted and headed straight for Fushou Hall. When he arrived, the whole family was gathered in the warm room, chatting with the old lady and the old man.

Tang Jize sat on the couch next to the old lady, personally helping his grandmother pour tea and water, and his little mouth was as sweet as honey, making the old lady laugh from time to time.

Tang Zhongbai stood at the door for a long time, listening to the laughter inside, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

My grandfather relied on his own abilities to become the Minister of Rites. At the height of his glory, he acted decisively and retired back home to take care of my grandmother and grandchildren, living a carefree and comfortable life.

The three children of the eldest brother mostly stayed in their grandparents' yard except for sleeping and studying.

My grandparents are both in their sixties, but they have jet-black hair, are in good health, and don’t look old at all.

Tang Zhongbai heard from his elder brother that his grandfather's colleagues asked him for health-preserving tips, but he simply replied, "I hope you can get back to work soon."

He was so angry that people ignored him anymore, but he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Tang Boan saw a figure at the door, guessed it was him, and called out to him, "Second brother, why don't you come in? Grandma is looking forward to seeing you."

Tang Zhongbai's eyes became hot. He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement, then lifted the curtain and entered the room.

He saw his grandparents sitting in front of the couch and looking at him kindly, and he knelt down and kowtowed to them.

He choked up and trembled, "I am an unfilial grandson, please forgive me, grandparents."

"Oh, you kid." The old lady's eyes turned red. She pointed at her two great-grandchildren and said, "Hurry up and help your uncle up. Let me see, my grandson has lost a lot of weight."

The old lady pushed Tang Jize aside mercilessly and made room for Tang Zhongbai.

Tang Jize was so angry that he pouted and complained angrily, "Grandma, you are so biased. As soon as my second brother came, you didn't want me anymore."

His appearance made everyone present laugh so hard that they couldn't help laughing. They wanted to laugh but were afraid of hurting his self-esteem.

"You, why are you arguing? You are going to stay with me in the future, and your second brother..." The old lady didn't say anything else.

Tang Zhongbai lived in Suanzao County from then on. It was like an unspeakable secret in his family. Although he accepted it, he was reluctant to leave.

"Oh." Tang Jize sat down next to his mother sensibly, as well-behaved as a child who saw through everything.

The atmosphere in the house was a little depressing, as if what was about to greet the family was not a happy event, but separation.

The old lady's well-maintained and smooth fingers touched Tang Zhongbai's forehead, and she tried hard to smooth out the furrows between his brows. She advised him cheerfully, "Silly boy, why are you worried? Come back whenever you miss your grandmother. This is your home forever. I've heard from your mother that Mu Xia is a good child who cares about you and cares about you. Back then, your family insisted on having their own way, which ruined your aunt's life. As for your generation, we don't care about your marriage. As long as you have good character, everything will be fine."

"You, once you get married, just live your life well and don't worry about us."

The eldest lady looked a little confused. The family was looking for a daughter-in-law, but why did it feel like she was going to marry off the second brother?

She knew that things in the world are unpredictable, but she didn't think that her second brother and his wife would stay in Suanzao County and not return to the capital.
