Chapter 656 Donations are ok, but you have to do what you can, right?
Xie Yixiao turned around and asked her with a smile: "Aunt Second, what are you looking at me for?"
"No...nothing..." He shook his head stiffly, not daring to reveal his thoughts.
Xie Yixiao smiled at He again. Although he didn't say anything, He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. Seeing that she didn't say anything and turned around to talk to Rong Ci, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's like surviving a catastrophe.
He said to Rong Xiu: "Don't worry, you are also the legitimate son. I am the mistress, so naturally I can't treat you badly."
Rong Xiu smiled when he heard this: "My mother said that, and I feel relieved."
Seeing this, Rong Qi on the side felt as if he was soaked in a jar of jealousy. He was so jealous that he secretly hated him for not being lucky enough to get married to the Xie family and marry a girl from the Xie family!
Rong Qi shamelessly asked Xie Yixiao: "Jiujiejiu, are there any girls of the right age in your mother's family?" Do you think I can do that?
Xie Yixiao smiled slightly: "My mother's family probably won't marry another girl."
Mrs. Xie planned to marry Xie Yu because she was worried that Xie Yixiao would be unable to support herself in the Rong family, so she wanted to find someone to help her. Xie Yu was a daughter of a side branch, so it was impossible to marry well, so marrying Rong Xiu was just the right match.
Rong Qi suddenly seemed stunned when he heard this.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "There are so many women in the world. If you want to get married, talk to your second aunt and ask her to find a good girl for you."
He's face changed again, and he said hurriedly: "You have to take your time, right? First, stay close to his sixth brother, and then wait until his sixth brother's affairs are finished..."
Xie Yi smiled: "What the second aunt said makes sense."
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that her heart was really agitated today. She was so excited that she almost fainted. It was such a cold day that she broke out in cold sweat.
So scary!
Her heart is bleeding!
Rong Guogong brought the topic back to the family separation.
"In this case, the four and six brothers will be placed separately. The remaining four brothers, the one who supports his parents, will have three entrances in the main courtyard, and the remaining three will have one courtyard each. At that time, another door will be opened, and each family will close its doors.
Live your own life, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi have not yet gotten married, so the betrothal gifts and expenses required for getting married must be set aside."
Duke Rong Guo made the final decision. Although Second Master Rong and others still had many ideas, no one dared to say anything.
This matter was initially settled, and several pairs of sons and daughters-in-law in the second master Rong's family discussed the matter individually in order to obtain the maximum benefit.
Xie Yixiao sat by the brazier, warming herself by the fire, eating melon seeds slowly, listening to the voices of people in the room. Rong Ci sat next to her, pinching walnuts for her from time to time. Although the young couple did not speak, they looked at each other and
I know feelings are good.
Near noon, Rong Ting and Rong Xiaocai arrived late.
Liao Zhuyin and Rong Qing still didn't come. Rong Ting only said that Liao Zhuyin was sick and Rong Qing was taking care of her at home.
"Are you sick again? I don't think you want to come? I mean, Third Brother, you can't always spoil her like this, letting her come whenever she wants and not come if she doesn't." Mrs. Song's tone was sinister and venomous.
It's a bit heavy-handed, and he's looking for trouble both inside and outside of his words.
"Even if you have adopted the third uncle's name, your uncle and aunt are still the elders. They are not willing to come to visit you on the first day of the new year. You really don't have any rules for being a wife."
Rong Ting was embarrassed. What could he do? Liao Zhuyin didn't come if she didn't want to come. Could it be that he could still force her to come? Moreover, even when he came, he had a face that made people look unhappy and ruined the New Year.
The atmosphere is good, but it might get noisy.
In this case, it is better not to come.
Seeing that he was speechless, Ms. Song was a little proud and wanted to say something. When Ms. Ming looked over at him, her mouth froze for a moment, and finally she had no choice but to shut up.
There was no expression on Mrs. Rong Guo's face, and she said calmly: "Since you are feeling unwell, let's rest."
Ms. Liao didn't want to come, and she just didn't want to see her, but she saw that Rong Ting's face was a little pale and haggard, and she frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you these days? Can't you sleep well?"
Rong Ting shook his head: "I have been unable to sleep for the past two days, which makes you worried."
He just couldn't sleep, but he had a fight with Liao Zhuyin on the 28th, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep this year.
There is no other reason for this. It is precisely because of the two thousand taels of silver donated by Liao Zhuyin.
When the Rong Ting family moved out of Rong Guo Gong's mansion, Rong Guo Gong and his wife didn't give them anything. They only had some assets that they got after they got married. Although this amount of assets is already something that many people can't earn in a lifetime of hard work.
It's enough for them to live a stable life.
But Liao Zhuyin was really not good at management, and he spent money lavishly. He hadn't saved much over the years, and two thousand taels was already half of their savings.
It’s okay to donate, but you have to do what you can, right?
If she donated five or six hundred yuan, he would have no objection. But if such a sum of money is donated, how will she live in the future? Does she not want to live anymore?
He just mentioned that the family was not as good as before and asked her to keep more money for the family. She pointed at his nose and scolded him, saying that he had no kind heart and only cared about the people in the North when he saw them suffering.
Live a good life by yourself.
Later, even on New Year's Eve yesterday, she closed the door and did not spend it with him.
Rong Ting was exhausted and confused.
Although several people in Duke Rong's palace did not like Liao Zhuyin, they were still very kind to Rong Xiao. When they saw him coming to pay New Year's greetings, they all gave him New Year's gifts.
It was now time for lunch. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ming asked everyone to go to the outer courtyard to eat. After finishing their lunch, they dispersed and went about their business.
Because of the betrothal gift from Rong Xiu, Mrs. He was so heartbroken that she couldn't even eat the good wine and food in Rong Guogong's mansion, and she seemed to be running away when she left.
Xie Yixiao and Rong Ci left Rong Xiu behind, and then asked him about their marriage.
"I'm going to be betrothed in February." Rong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Mother has been putting off preparing a betrothal gift for me. She will definitely prepare it well this time."
Giving him the same betrothal gift as Rong Ba was enough to make He vomit blood.
She also committed suicide by preparing so many betrothal gifts for her maternal niece. Several daughters-in-law in the family had some objections. Now she has shot herself in the foot.
"When the time comes, it will be good to separate our families and live outside."
Rong Xiu rarely felt relaxed on his face. Although Rong Guogong was suppressing him, He had gone too far to treat them, his stepsons and concubines, but he had always been an unpopular person in the family and had no sense of presence. How could he leave?
In that home, he felt much more relaxed.
"Thank you so much for being able to look up to me."
