Chapter 156 He Xiangmei
At that time, except for being poor, life was very stable.
She has a family, a husband, and children.
It was because she was stupid that she ruined her good life.
Fortunately, all her children are promising, which is enough to make her feel relieved.
The only person she felt sorry for was her eldest daughter, who had suffered the most at home with her and who ended up marrying a bad man.
Regarding Xu Nianxue's matter, she did not blame Xu Wangshi for not being able to judge people well. She only blamed her as a mother for greedily taking her daughter's dowry for the sake of her brother's son, causing the An family to look down on her daughter from the bottom of their hearts.
The question is, how many girls can live comfortably in their husband's family if they have no dowry and no one to look after them from their parents' side?
But she didn't think about it, and was obsessed with taking her daughter's savings to take care of her brother and his children.
She is not worthy of being a mother.
Xu Huaishan had wanted to divorce her a long time ago. After all, she was old, ugly, and unable to work. She also brought her family members to make trouble in Xu Village, which embarrassed him.
It's normal for him to be annoyed with her.
But for the sake of his children, he didn't divorce her.
She was already very grateful to this man for keeping her status as the Xu family's daughter-in-law.
As for Cheng Qi and Cheng Zi, they gave her money for her retirement.
But she failed to hide it, and it was taken away by her two sisters-in-law.
The money eventually turned into their gold bracelets and gold earrings, but it was not saved as food or used to build a house, and they did not intend to use it to live a good life.
When a snow came in winter, he shamelessly hid in Cheng Qi's greenhouse.
Even though they had food and drink, they were still not satisfied. They even stole silver from their son and daughter-in-law's room while they were busy.
When her daughter-in-law found out, she said that the mother-in-law should be filial, and she grabbed her and started arguing and fighting with her daughter-in-law, and finally hurt her granddaughter.
My eldest granddaughter just got engaged. She was disfigured. I don’t know if her husband’s family will mind. Can she still get married smoothly?
A mother is strong. She was not angry at all when her daughter-in-law kicked them out of the house.
They were also given a big bag of food when they left the house. You have to know that at that time, even if you had money, you couldn't buy food.
The He family had no house left long ago, so they found a dilapidated house with no one living there on the mountain. It was with this bag of food that they survived the long winter.
By the way, the family that has become extinct is the Tao family in Kaoshan Village, the family of son-in-law Tao Cheng before he broke off the relationship with her.
I heard a few years ago that the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Tao family were dissatisfied with the poor life at home, so they moved away with their in-laws, leaving the parents of the Tao family to fend for themselves in Kaoshan Village.
When they moved in, the house was empty, with only the old couple's shriveled bodies lying on the bed.
The two younger brothers lifted the bed board and threw the person into the snow. No one remembered where they threw him. Anyway, the snow melted and he was never seen again.
When she saw the ending of the Tao couple, she suddenly became worried about herself.
She has disappointed her children. Will they still offer incense to her in the future?
They could no longer stay in Yunyang Town. Cheng Zi was in Yanpingjing and Taiyuan, so his two younger brothers wanted to go to Lezhou and ask their youngest daughter Nian Yue to take them in.
In fact, she didn't want to come.
When she was too cold to stretch her body, she thought she was going to die.
In the chaos, she saw her children.
They were still young at that time. When their food was snatched away by their sister-in-law, they dared not say a word and looked at their mother timidly, but she did not dare to stand up and support them.
Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law who bullied them grew up to be the one who supported them, while her mother was still the useless mother, or even worse, the mother who would hold them back.
She is a very unfit mother to her children.
She couldn't bring any more harm to them. She should just die and be done with it.
But she woke up and was dragged into the car by her brother and sister-in-law.
Maybe she still has things that she can't let go of and people that she feels guilty about.
She heard that Nian Xue was buried in Lezhou. Her poor daughter was all alone in a foreign land. It was her fault that she couldn't go home, so she came to Lezhou to accompany her.
Maybe after reaching the underworld, Xue Ya will forgive her...
"Sister, sister, did you listen to what we said? If Nian Yue doesn't agree to you, you will pretend to be unconscious and can't get up, understand?"
He Xiangmei forced a smile at her sister-in-law who was constantly giving her advice.
The silver hairpin on her head was worth about five taels, which was exactly what she owed Nianxue.
It can be used to atone for sins.
……
The He family didn't expect that when they arrived at the gate of Lezhou City, they couldn't enter the city.
There's no way. Too many people have fled to Lezhou recently.
Except for those with trade passes, the rest must be picked up by someone in Lezhou City and pay the full entry fee before the city guards will let them pass.
"Do you know that the person sitting here is the sister-in-law of your Lord of Lezhou... You are such a dog-eyed guy, be careful or I will have Sister Siyu chop off your head."
"How dare you! How dare you call the city lord by his name!" The city guards put their swords on the neck of He Xiangmei's second brother, not afraid of offending anyone.
The young city guard mocked the seemingly impoverished group of people in the car, "If they were the city lord's relatives, why wouldn't someone be waiting at the city gate in advance, or let them pass? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Look at your behavior. How do you resemble the city lord's family?"
"Sir, my sister really is the City Lord's sister-in-law. Could you please put down the knife first?"
"How can I let you go if you don't tell the truth?" The young city guard performed his duties seriously.
"Sir, sir, instead of looking for the city lord, can you look for Xu Nianyue? My sister is her mother, and I am her uncle."
"Sister Yue?" Cheng Wei's sister happened to work in a duck down workshop and was naturally familiar with Xu Nianyue.
The city guards believed it a little bit since they could say both Xu Siyu and Xu Nianyue's names at the same time. They thought that the people in the car at least knew the city lord.
He put down his knife and called over a few other guards on duty. After a brief discussion, he said, "According to the rules, you must be met by someone from within the city. We can deliver a message to you. Do you have a token?"
"Yes, yes." He Lao Er pulled He Xiangmei's sleeve, "Sister, look around, is there anything else on you that Nian Yue would recognize?"
He Xiangmei remained silent, watching the dispute at the city gate, which had nothing to do with her.
What else does she have on her that can serve as a keepsake?
After looking at it for a while, he grabbed the jade token hanging on his nephew and handed it to the city guard. "This."
This is the most expensive item on everyone in their group. It was bought with the Xu family's money. It would be great to give it to Nianyue.
"Ah, you old woman, you stole my things." Obviously, He Xiangmei's move was beyond the nephew's expectation. After feeling the pain, he realized that he wanted to hit someone.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you family? You just said that this is the city lord's sister-in-law. You are attacking the city lord's sister-in-law at the gate of Lezhou City. Do you think that we Lezhou people are dead?"
After two years of operation, Xu Siyu's reputation in Lezhou is truly high.
The people of Lezhou still worship her longevity tablet in the City God Temple and regard her as the ancestor of the entire city. Anyone who dares to disrespect her or her family is an enemy of the people of Lezhou.
