In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

Looking at Xu Yushi like this, Old Lady He was almost laughing out of anger.

"Second brother, you are so irresponsible for saying this. There are so many rich people in this world, why don't you ask others to help your family? There are so many poor people in this world, can I help them all?"

"Your mother and I are both from the Meng family. We were both exiled here and pardoned. We both have hands and feet and started from the same point. Why should I help her? She has needed help for so many years? Did my money come from the wind?"

Xu Yushi looked at Old Lady He in confusion.

At the beginning, Mrs. He kept her emotions stable and her thoughts were not confused.

She said, "You have never respected me as a mother-in-law, and I don't restrict you so much. I just want to ask you, can you help Qingya and Qinglu get their money, clothes and purses back? Do you love your two daughters more, or do you care more about your mother's family?"

When Xu Yushi was asked, she didn't dare to remain silent. She looked at He Qingya for help, putting pressure on He Qingya.

He Qingya felt enormous pressure from being stared at.

She subconsciously looked at He Qiudi.

He Qiudi's eyes were dark, and he said without any emotion: "Qingya, this is a matter between you and your daughter. Think about it carefully and decide what to choose."

He Qingya stammered a few times but still couldn't utter a word.

Xu Yushi's eyes were red: "Qingya, say something."

He Qingya took a few deep breaths and said, "Grandma, I promised to give you the money and things."

Xu Yushi let out a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't agree, I didn't agree!"

On this side, He Qinglu started to make a scene: "Grandma, I didn't agree! Those are the money that my aunt gave me, my clothes and purse. I don't agree to give them away. They are mine!"

Xu Yushi scolded: "Qinglu, be sensible!"

"Mom, woo woo..."

Old Mrs. He looked down at Xu Yushi and said, "Second brother, I'm asking you again, can you take the money and things back?"

Xu Yushi lowered her head and refused to speak.

Old Lady He only looked at He Huaiping: "Second Brother, at this point, do you still want to protect your wife?"

"Mother, I..."

Old Lady He said in a tough manner: "Among the six taels of silver, there is money for me to buy leather for you."

He Huaiping shouted in vain: "Mom——"

Old Mrs. He closed her eyes tiredly, "Huaiping, listen to your mother's advice, you two should get divorced. A good wife brings less trouble to her husband. As soon as she came to Lan County, she told her parents about the income of the He family. But that money is your brother's travel expenses for the exam and your seventh sister's dowry. She even dared to covet this money. Even if the He family has mountains of gold and silver, there will be a day when they will be emptied out."

"Mom!" This time, He Huaiping knelt down directly in front of Grandma He, "I am an unfilial son. I know Yu Niang is wrong, but Qingya and Qinglu are still young, and I can't live without the child in Yu Niang's belly. Maybe this baby is a son."

Old Mrs. He let go of He Qinglu's hand.

"Since this is your choice, then you can live in the Xu family with your wife and daughter during this period of time. My He family has no shortage of children and grandchildren."

After saying this, Old Lady He took the hand that He Qiudi offered her and turned away.

"Mother!——"

He Huaiping knelt down and crawled over, trying to grab the hem of Old Lady He's skirt, but ended up grabbing nothing.

He Baozhu stayed behind. She looked at Xu Yushi and shook her head: "Second sister-in-law, you are confused."

She half-knelt down again and helped He Huaiping up: "Second brother, mother knows how much Second Sister-in-law has taken from the Xu family over the years. She didn't tell Second Sister-in-law for your sake. She was afraid that you would be narrow-minded. But this time, Second Sister-in-law really went too far."

He Huaiping covered his face, unwilling to face it.

"But she is the mother of my child."

He Baozhu shook her head in disappointment, turned around and caught up with He Qiudi and Old Lady He.

He Qinglu cried and said she wanted to find her grandma and aunt, but was held tightly by Xu Yushi.

After they left, Xu Yushi dragged He Qinglu into the house and beat her severely, crying as she beat her: "I told you not to be sensible, I told you not to complain! I told you not to be reluctant to part with this little money and things! They are your cousins, and when your cousin passes the imperial examination, will he not give you benefits? I will beat you to death, you shallow-eyed person. You almost caused me and your father to divorce, do you know that? You are a troublemaker!"

Xiao Meng waited until He Qinglu had been beaten enough before she pretended to go into the house.

"Well, Qinglu is still young, so it's normal for her to be reluctant to part with those things. You are really stupid. You didn't persuade her to give the things to her cousin, but you just took them away. It makes our Xu family look like we are taking advantage of others, and makes me feel awkward. Your mother-in-law made a big fuss and left, but I have to stay here and be criticized by others."

"Mom, I'm sorry. I will try to persuade Huaiping to stand on the same front with me."

Having a son is Xu Yushi's obsession.

Isn't this also He Huaiping's obsession?

He Huaiping was not as educated as He Huaizhang, nor as smart as He Huaian. He only had a lot of strength and three-axe kung fu. When he was young, he worked as a bodyguard with Grandpa He.

He knew that only with a son could their little family stand on its own feet and have hope.

But in the end, after giving birth to Qinglu, Xu had another unexpected miscarriage and never got pregnant again.

The baby in Xu Yushi's belly was also the result of He Huaiping's long-awaited efforts.

Even Old Lady He couldn't let him divorce easily.

He knew in his heart that Old Lady He didn't really want him to divorce. Even though his mother was so opposed to their marriage back then, she had accepted it anyway.

I was just angry and wanted to scare him on purpose.

After a while, when A Niang had calmed down, he would take Yu Shi back to kowtow and admit his mistake, and the matter would be over.

After returning from Xu's house, He Qiudi remained silent all the way and didn't say a word.

Old Mrs. He's temper came and went quickly, and by the time she was about to return to the backyard of the county government office, her temper had mostly subsided.

He Qiudi and He Baozhu then took turns to comfort her.

Old Lady He just sat down and waved her hands, saying, "Forget it. Your second brother is just a stubborn person. He insisted on marrying Xu for her innocence. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I raised him, trained him, married him a wife, gave him a daughter, and raised two children. I have done him justice."

He Qiudi frowned.

"Mother, from what you said, is there any hidden reason behind the marriage between my second brother and his wife?"

Old Lady He nodded slightly, as if she didn't want to think about this unpleasant thing, but when He Qiudi asked about it, she said, "Back then, I arranged a marriage for your second brother. The other party was also the daughter of a sister who helped me when I was stranded in Yongning Prefecture. She was a good friend of the Xu family."

"One time I asked your second brother to deliver something to their family. When we passed by the reservoir at the entrance of the village, Xu slipped into the pond. Your second brother was eager to save her, so he jumped into the pond and rescued her."

"Xu's innocence was ruined by your second brother. She wanted to hang herself with a hemp rope when she returned home. After being rescued by my concubine sister, she sent someone to pass on the message. Your second brother begged me to break off the engagement with the original girl and marry Xu."

Having said that, Old Lady He sneered.

"As for whether Xu fell into the water accidentally or deliberately waited for your second brother to pass by and then pretended to fall into the water to blackmail him, only Xu herself knows the answer."
