There is no phoenix

Tong Xi cried: "Auntie, our wife is going to faint from fright. It was our Uncle Xue who beat Grandma Jingui to death!"

Mrs. Jia Muwang was shocked and said, "What, killed someone? Who killed him?"

Tong Xi said again: "Old lady, concubine, it was Uncle Xue who beat Grandma Jingui to death. Someone from the yamen has already locked Uncle Xue away, and Grandma Xia is leading people to make a scene at our house. My wife asked me to come and invite her." Auntie, I'm afraid it will be useful for my aunt to say a few words in person!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang slumped down on the stool. Fortunately, Yu Chuaner supported her.

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "The murder case has already alarmed the government. How can this happen?"

Tong Xi said: "Our wife really doesn't know what to do, because it's not only Grandma Xia who came to our place to make trouble, but also several uncles and brothers of Xia Jingui, who brought a lot of people. I ran out secretly, and now I don't Know what's going on over there."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Now that the masters are not here in our mansion, I am a woman, how can I go? If there are many people from their Xia family, maybe they can do anything."

Mother Jia thought for a while and said: "I think you should take a few servants with you. Now that Bao girl is happy, don't tell her first, lest she get angry when she hears it. You go, just say good things, people are gone. If it’s gone, let’s see if we can make up for it with money.”

Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said, "Tongxi, tell me why Pan'er beat Xia Jingui to death? If you don't explain clearly, how can I persuade you in the past? After all, we have already made mistakes first."

After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly asked, "Yes, Tongxi, don't hide it, first tell us what's going on, and then we can think of a way to let my wife go over and persuade me."

After hearing this, Tongxi had no choice but to explain the reasons before and after the incident.

It turned out that after Xia Jingui and Xue Pan had a big fight in March, Xia Jingui also listened to Mrs. Wang's persuasion and stopped picking on Xue Pan and Baochan to make trouble.Every morning, he still goes to the shop to take care of his own business, and Xue Pan only sleeps in Jingui's room at night, so that Baochan can raise his baby with peace of mind.

Before he knew it, it was already August, and Baochan had been alive for more than seven months, and he was only one or two months away from giving birth.Aunt Xue was very happy, and asked the doctor to come and see Baochan's body every few days, just in case something happened.

In the afternoon of the third day of August, Aunt Xue invited her husband to take a look at Baochan's body again. After the doctor checked Baochan's pulse, he said to Aunt Xue with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, the fetal image is very good, and I can say for sure, This baby must be a boy, and the family is about to have a baby."

Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Tong Xi to wrap a red envelope of five taels of silver for the doctor. Since Jingui was not around, she said to Baochan: "Baochan, don't worry now, as long as you give birth to a son, I will let you give birth to a son." Pan'er set up a few tables of banquets, so that you can be Pan'er's second wife in an upright manner."

After hearing this, Baochan sighed and said, "The second and third bedrooms are all aunts, what's the difference? It's the son I gave birth to. Didn't the aunt say that the child can't be called my mother but can only be called my aunt. In the future, when grandma gives birth to a child, we My child is still not angry!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue comforted her: "Baochan, don't worry, as long as you give birth to a son, I won't let you be wronged."

Baochan said: "Madam says that now, I'm afraid I won't say that after giving birth to my son. Now the whole family listens to grandma, who dares not obey her words that shake the world?"

Aunt Xue said: "I am an elder anyway, I think I can still talk, Baochan, don't worry."

Baochan said again: "Since Madam wants me to feel at ease, she should leave some money or a store for me and the child in my womb. If Grandma can't tolerate me in the future, our mother and child will not suffer."

Aunt Xue said: "Baochan, you have asked for a shop before giving birth to a son. I'm afraid it won't work. This is not a separation."

Baochan said: "Just now my wife was still saying that she is an elder, so let me rest assured. But my wife dare not agree to such a request, how can I be relieved? Now my wife is still alive. If my wife gets old in the future, grandma will be in charge of the house alone. , I’m afraid that no matter how much money we have at home, my son and I don’t need it. I think my wife still doesn’t like the child in my womb? I want money for the shop, what is it for? Is it for myself? I’m alone How much can I eat? Now that my family is rich, and there is not only one shop, I want one, even if it is a small shop. My wife has already refused, so what can I say. Instead of letting my child be born and suffer Don't give birth, grandma won't be suspicious of me."

After Baochan finished speaking, he got up and went outside.

Aunt Xue heard this, and said anxiously: "Baochan, come back! You are a pregnant woman with a big belly, if you are crowded by people or hit by a carriage, what will happen?"

Baochan knew that Aunt Xue cared about the child in her womb, so she deliberately said: "Madam, just say so, maybe some people are just looking forward to this, if you touch it, it will be gone, but I can take care of myself."

After Baochan said that, he still didn't stop to go outside.Aunt Xue hurriedly asked Tong Xi to help Baochan into the house, and persuaded Baochan, "Baochan, take care of yourself first. Although the shop can't be given to you first, when Pan'er comes back at night, I will ask him to give some first." I will give you the money so that you can raise your baby with peace of mind."

Baochan heard Aunt Xue said that he was willing to give him money, so he hurriedly said: "How much money does the wife plan to give us as backup?"

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "Baochan, I will ask Pan'er to give you 1000 taels of silver. When you give birth to a son, I will ask him to give you another 1000 taels of silver. Can you rest assured?"

Baochan said: "Since my wife said so, I don't expect me to get much after giving birth. I'm afraid I don't have the right to hold the child after it's born. If you want to give it to me now, I don't want too much." , the wife asked the uncle to give me 5000 taels, and I will feel at ease at home to raise the baby."

Aunt Xue said: "Baochan, you actually asked for 5000 taels. Are you too greedy? It's hard to do business now, as you can see. The two of them go out early and come back late every day. It's not easy to make money. Besides, the shop Li also needs money to circulate. If you want 2000 taels, I can promise you. You have to know that if your grandma knows, she may not give you 1000 taels."

After Baochan heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Madam, then you can ask the uncle to give me 3000 taels, so I can take care of myself at home. You also know how Xiangling got off? If I don't have a shop or money, I'm afraid When I give birth to a child, even Xiangling is worse. If my wife and uncle are not willing to part with 3000 taels of silver, how can they really cherish the child in my belly? I might as well let this child not be born now, or give it to someone else The rich are fine."

Aunt Xue didn't let go when she saw Baochan, so she agreed: "Well, Baochan, you go to the house to rest first, and when Pan'er comes back in the evening, I will naturally explain it to him. Ask Pan'er to give the money tomorrow. You, don't think about it."

Baochan knew that Aunt Xue was benevolent, and seeing that she had agreed to let Xue Pan give 3000 taels of silver, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so Tong Xi helped him into the house to rest.

In the evening, when Xue Pan and Xia Jingui came back, the family had finished their dinner, and Aunt Xue asked Tong Xi to call Xue Pan to the house, saying that she had something to discuss with Xue Pan.

Xue Pan was talking to Jingui about the business in their respective shops. Tong Xi came to call Xue Pan and said that Aunt Xue had an invitation, so Xue Pan had to follow Tong Xi out.

When Xia Jingui came back these days, every night when she was eating, seeing Aunt Xue asked Tong Xi to bring the food to Baochan's house, she felt very unhappy.But thinking of Mrs. Wang's words of persuasion and the fact that she has never been able to conceive, she had to swallow her anger, thinking in her heart that as long as Baochan gave birth to a son, Baochan must be sent out.

Now that Xia Jingui sees Aunt Xue asking Tong Xi to talk in the house, Xia Jingui wants to know what Aunt Xue will say, so she quietly goes to Aunt Xue's window to listen carefully. It turns out that Aunt Xue is negotiating with Xue Pan to give Baochan 3000 taels of silver Hearing about the matter, Xia Jingui was furious.

Xia Jingui didn't expect that Baochan would use the child in his belly to threaten Aunt Xue to ask for money from the shop.I was about to go to Baochan's house to make a big fuss with Baochan, but then I thought about it, people say that if you take a thief, you will see the stolen goods, and if you take the adulterer, you will catch the double.Going to find Baochan like this now, Baochan will definitely not admit it, and now Aunt Xue obviously wants to favor Baochan and make Baochan happy, so it is better to act according to circumstances.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingui quickly suppressed the sullenness in his heart, calmed down, went back to the room, and lay on the bed thinking about countermeasures.

After a while, when Xue Pan came back, Xia Jingui asked deliberately: "Fatty, what did your mother ask you to discuss? You didn't talk about it during the meal, but Tong Xi asked you to go to her room to talk about it?"

Because of Aunt Xue's explanation, Xue Pan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's my mother who asked me to buy two good ginseng for her tomorrow."

Xia Jingui laughed and said, "If you're not sick or in trouble, what do you need ginseng for? If you can't sleep well, eating ginseng will make it even worse."

Xue Pan had no choice but to say: "I don't know, but Mom said yes, maybe I should give it away."

Seeing Xue Pan fooling herself like this, Xia Jingui sneered inwardly.So he ignored Xue Pan and slept beside him with the quilt.

The next morning, Xia Jingui deliberately said that she was not feeling well and could not get up in bed, and the girl Yingzi brought in the food.

Yingzi is a girl bought by Xia Jingui on the street. She is 14 years old this year. She is smart, can fight, knows a little bit of medical theory, and she is very suitable for Xia Jingui's wishes.Xia Jingui often told Yingzi that if Yingzi served her well and was loyal to herself, when she waited for Yingzi, she would let Yingzi find someone to marry and become a free person, so Yingzi was very loyal to Xia Jingui.

General Xia Jingui said to Yingzi: "Yingzi, you said today that I am very tired and I need to rest in the house for a day. If you see the uncle going to Baochan or his wife's house, you can come in and tell me."

Yingzi nodded.

After breakfast, Xue Pan saw Jingui resting on the bed, gave some instructions, and then hurried out.

When it was almost time, Xue Pan came back again, went into the room and took a look at Xia Jingui, and seeing that Xia Jingui was still lying on the bed, he said he was going to invite a doctor.

Xia Jingui saw that Xue Pan looked like he was really going to ask for a doctor, so he hurriedly said, "Fatty, what are you in such a hurry for? I just take a short break, what's the point? I want to be so delicate, how can I make money? What are you busy with?" Just busy, don't bother me to rest!"

Seeing what Xia Jingui said, Xue Pan had no choice but to say: "Okay, you should rest at home, and I'll go to the shop."

After Xue Pan finished speaking, he asked Yingzi to take good care of Xia Jingui, and Yingzi nodded naturally.

Xue Pan came out of Jingui's house, hesitated for a moment, and then went to Baochan's house.Yingzi saw it and hurriedly told Xia Jingui.

Xia Jingui got up quietly and came outside Baochan's house, only to hear Baochan ask Xue Pan if he had any money ready.Xue Pan said: "Baochan, don't worry, it has been prepared for you. I will give you 3000 taels now, but you must ensure that you take good care of the baby at home. Having a son will naturally have more benefits for you."

After Xue Pan finished speaking, he took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and handed it to Baochan.Baochan was about to pick it up when the door was pushed open with a bang.

"Baochan, your wings are hardened now, and you dare to ask for a shop for thousands of dollars! You haven't given birth to a son yet, and you're hiding the idea of ​​this family property from me. Your vision is not low!"

After Jingui finished speaking, she stepped forward a few steps, snatched the banknote from Xue Pan's hand, and said to Xue Pan with a sneer, "Fatty, thank you for trusting her so much, if she has money and leaves, I will see you and you What else is there for that stupid old lady!"

Xue Pan was afraid of Jingui, so he hurriedly said: "Sister, forget it, I will give Baochan 3000 taels, or she doesn't want to have a son."

Xia Jingui said: "Fatty is dead. She now has three thousand per mouth and needs a shop. I don't know what will happen in the future. In my opinion, we won't let her go out from now on. When she gives birth to a son, she will leave and we will pay for it." Travel expenses, let her go, but why do you still trust her!"

After hearing this, Baochan immediately grabbed a pair of scissors on the table, and said to Xia Jingui, "Grandma, I only want 3000 taels of silver, and you don't want to hide it from you. If you want to force me, I have no choice but to die. be bullied!"

At this time, Aunt Xue and Tong Xi also came over, seeing Baochan holding scissors and about to stab herself, Xia Jingui scolded Xue Pan.

At this time, Aunt Xue was most worried about Baochan and her grandson, so she hurriedly said to Baochan, "Baochan, don't do anything stupid! Jin Gui didn't want to give it to me, so I folded my head and turned it into a piece of paper. I'll give you 3000 taels, so stop making trouble."

Seeing that Aunt Xue was still protecting Baochan, Xia Jingui couldn't help it any longer. Seeing a latch behind the door, Xia Jingui quickly picked it up and pointed at Baochan, "Okay, Baochan, you dare to scare us with scissors? I'll let you try, if you really want to die, I won't stop you, I'll give you a few more sticks!"

After Xia Jingui finished speaking, he swung the latch to hit Baochan.

Aunt Xue saw her, and hurried forward to block Baochan. Xia Jingui hit Aunt Xue on the shoulder with a stick. Aunt Xue said "Ouch" and almost fell down. beside the bed.

Seeing that Xia Jingui dared to hurt his mother, Xue Pan became angry immediately, burst out all the repressed resentment he had suffered, stepped forward and snatched the door latch from Xia Jingui's hand, and scolded Xia Jingui: "Xia Jingui, you are too much! "

It was Baochan who said from the side: "It's not that my father spoiled me. Last time I dared to beat my father, but now I dare to beat my wife. Whose man can allow his wife to be so arrogant!"

Seeing that Baochan dared to encourage Xue Pan to teach him a lesson, Xia Jingui was so angry that his lungs would explode. He rushed over to beat Baochan, and shouted, "Yingzi, come in and help me teach that bitch Baochan a lesson!"

After Xia Jingui finished speaking, he had already grabbed Baochan by the hair and kicked Baochan a few times. At this moment, Xue Pan swung the latch and slammed Xia Jingui a few times. He heard a few screams, and Xia Jingui fell to the ground. There was no sound, Baochan covered his stomach and yelled too.

At this time Yingzi came in, seeing this, hurriedly went up to check on Xia Jingui, only to see Xia Jingui's eyes widened angrily, blood was streaming from his head, but he was speechless.

Yingzi understands medical principles and is a girl. It is hard to blame anyone at this time, so she can only say to Aunt Xue Pan: "Madam, uncle, it's terrible, grandma is afraid!"

Aunt Xue saw that Xia Jingui's head was still bubbling blood, and she couldn't speak anymore, so she was frightened and said to Tong Xi: "Quickly ask Qinger to call the doctor, someone will die!"

Seeing that Jingui was already in bad shape, Yingzi ran out quickly thinking of Xia Jingui's kindness to him.

Xue Pan was also dumbfounded at this time.

In fact, among the three Baochan Xiangling and Xia Jingui, it is Xia Jingui who really makes Xue Pan want to marry the most.After being married for more than a year, there is still that kind of conjugal affection, although it is hidden from Xia Jingui and Baochan.Just now, because he was afraid that Jingui would hurt the baby in Baochan's stomach, and seeing Xia Jingui hitting his mother with the latch, Xue Pan didn't think about the consequences, so he swung the latch and hit Xia Jingui a few times.Now Xia Jingui was lying on the ground with blood all over his head, and the ground was already stained with a large piece of blood.

Baochan clutched his stomach and screamed for pain. Aunt Xue was beaten by Xia Jingui. At this time, she no longer cared about the pain just now, and asked Tong Xi to help Baochan go to Xue Pan's house first.

Seeing that Xia Jingui's head was still bleeding, Xue Pan crouched down and hugged Xia Jingui in a panic, and shouted anxiously, "Sister, Jingui, don't scare us!"
