Chapter 7 Why don’t I marry into your family?
After Aunt Xiao and the two left.
Patriarch Xiao looked at Xiao's mother with eyes full of hatred.
"If Han Zheng doesn't wake up, can't you be stronger on yourselves?"
"We've already separated our families and cut off all ties. Those who should be strong must still be strong."
Mother Xiao nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes!"
She also resisted, but she was no match at all.
It's just that she was too weak and almost couldn't protect her daughter.
Patriarch Xiao looked at her weak and crying look and sighed, "I just hope Han Zheng can wake up soon."
Otherwise, I really don’t know if these three girls can survive.
Xiao Hanzheng is his most promising junior in the clan, and he was trained by himself. It would be a pity if he cannot wake up.
He will also be very sad.
Xiao's mother cried and said, "Yes, it would be great if Zheng'er could wake up soon."
Shi Qingluo didn't quite agree with this. She always believed that it was better to rely on others than to rely on yourself.
But Mother Xiao’s temperament means it’s useless to talk about it.
And looking at the situation just now, Xiao's mother is also trying hard to protect her daughter.
It's a pity that the difference in physical strength and ferocity between the two sides is huge, and Xiao's mother is also powerless.
Chief Xiao took out a money bag from his arms and said, "Here are a few taels of silver that I and several clan elders collected together. You can take it and quickly treat Han Zheng."
Xiao's mother was deeply moved. She had already borrowed six taels of silver from the Xiao clan leader's family to treat her son.
Not only did the clan leader not press Rang to repay the money, but now he had pooled the money with several clan elders. Their family was actually not very wealthy.
Although I believe that the medicine Shi Qingluo gave is effective, if my son has not recovered from the fever or is weak after waking up, he must continue to take medicine and replenish his body.
So even though the money was hot to the touch, Mother Xiao had to take it.
She walked to the clan leader, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you very much, clan leader and several clan elders for their great kindness. When Zheng'er wakes up, we will collect the money to pay you back as soon as possible."
If it weren't for the help of the clan leader and others during this period, she wouldn't know how she could survive with her children.
In the past, the clan leader and others also helped her son a lot, and she has always kept this great kindness in her heart.
She took another deep breath and said, "If Zheng'er doesn't wake up, I will pay back the money."
From this point of view, even though Mother Xiao is weak-tempered, she is still responsible.
Chief Xiao waved his hand, "We are not in a hurry, it is important to save Han Zheng first."
Then his eyes fell on Shi Qingluo, "Miss Shi, thank you for protecting the Xiao family's mother and daughter just now."
When they arrived just now, they happened to encounter Shi Qingluo driving away the Wu family members.
Otherwise, they would have some trouble driving away the Wu family.
Shi Qing smiled nonchalantly and said, "You're welcome. I just draw my sword to help when the road is rough."
Patriarch Xiao thought for a while and reminded, "The Wu family is not only a wealthy family in the county, but Mrs. Wu's biological sister was also married to the magistrate as a concubine. Even the magistrate will treat their family with courtesy."
"Miss Shi, be careful in the future."
In any case, this Miss Shi also helped the Xiao family, and he did not want her to be retaliated against by the Wu family and get into trouble.
Shi Qingluo discovered that the clan leaders and elders of Xiaxi Village were much more humane than those of Shangxi Village.
She also accepted the other party's reminder, "Okay, I will pay attention."
Patriarch Xiao once again told Xiao's mother that if the Xiao family wanted to sell Xiao Mei, Erlang would find them.
After saying that, he took the village chief and a few others and left.
Xiao Xiaomei immediately walked over and helped Xiao's mother up.
Both of them looked at Shi Qingluo with grateful faces, "Miss Shi/Sister Shi, thank you so much today!"
Mother Xiao said sincerely: "We will definitely find opportunities to repay your kindness in the future."
Shi Qingluo shook his head, "You're welcome, we just happened to meet him."
She thought for a while and asked: "I think those two shrews from the Xiao family will not let you go. Have you figured out how to deal with it?"
These words made Xiao's mother and Xiao Mei successfully change their faces, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
If they can't win with fighting or scolding, what should they do?
"We don't know either." Xiao's mother replied sadly and frustrated.
Mother Xiao is weak-tempered, but she is not stupid either.
She looked at Shi Qingluo, "Is there anything Miss Shi can do?"
Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be asking this question.
Shi Qingluo asked: "What do you think of me?"
Xiao's mother did not hesitate, "Miss Shi is very good."
But what does this have to do with dealing with those two shrews?
They can't always ask Miss Shi to help.
Shi Qingluo didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "How about I marry into your family and be your daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law to Xiao Mei and Erlang?"
"This way, if those shrews dare to bully you again, I will be able to clean up and repair them more legitimately."
Xiao's mother and three others all showed the same look of shock.
It took a while for Xiao's mother to come back to her senses, "You mean, you want to marry into our family?"
Although many young girls in the village wanted to marry Zheng'er before, no one had ever been so straightforward.
Moreover, after Zheng'er fell into coma, she heard many people behind her back rejoicing, saying that it was a good thing that Zheng'er didn't want to get married so early, otherwise she would be unlucky or widowed if she got married.
If Qing Luo had said she wanted to marry Zheng'er in the past, she wouldn't be surprised.
But the current situation in their family is not self-destructive, it can be said to be a pit of fire. Why does Shi Qingluo still jump into it?
Although he felt that Shi Qingluo was a person he could rely on, if he really married her, he would be able to deal with those two shrews.
But she can't deceive others like this.
So she sighed and said: "Miss Shi, it's not that I don't want to, but you have also seen the situation of my family. If you marry here, life will not be easy."
"Zheng'er hasn't woken up yet. Our family still owes more than ten taels of foreign debt, and our family is almost running out of food."
"Although we have separated from the Xiao family, as long as Zheng'er doesn't wake up, those people will make trouble without any bottom line."
With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "And if Zheng'er doesn't wake up, you will be a widow when you get married. We can't treat our benefactor like this."
Although Xiao Xiaomei and Erlang were grateful and liked Shi Qingluo because of what happened before, they really couldn't say against their conscience that it would be better to marry her.
If their brother was still awake, they would be willing to have such a sister-in-law, and they wouldn't feel guilty.
But my brother is in a coma, and he doesn’t know if he can wake up yet, so they can’t trick anyone.
After listening to Xiao's mother's words and seeing the expressions of Xiao Xiaomei and Xiao Mei, Shi Qingluo felt that her choice was right.
Shi Qingluo expressed his thoughts calmly.
"You all know that the Shi family wants to marry me to Master Wu to be buried with him. If I don't marry myself, my parents' family will be a big fire pit."
"I have a strong personality and am not suitable for marrying into a family with a big family, complicated relationships, and powerful parents-in-law."
"Your family is very suitable for me."
"I don't mind your family's current poverty and troubles. I just have one request. If I get married, you are not allowed to interfere with anything I do in the future. It's best for me to be the head of the family."
"In exchange, I will protect you and lead you to live a prosperous life."
She added: "I think Xiao Hanzheng will get better after taking the medicine I gave him."
"If he really can't wake up, it doesn't matter to me being a widow, as long as he can live comfortably."
It’s better to say these things clearly in advance.
