Dou Fuxi said that he was very happy to have three and a half sons. He did not mention that he had seven daughters and a large number of grandchildren and granddaughters.
You can really fully enjoy the happiness of your family.
Dou Fuxi had no objection to this marriage.
At this time, Dou Fuxi's wife Dou Li came out, saw the matchmaker, and asked, "What's the good thing?"
"It's a good thing. Didn't you ask me to find an in-law for the seventh child last time?" said the matchmaker.
"Yes! I said this." Dou Li said.
"Now we have found it, it is Xi Zili from Xi Zhuang." said the matchmaker.
"Xi Zili, such a familiar name."
"Yes, he is the richest man in Xizhuang. He is a prosperous businessman and is well-known in the local area."
"Oh, by the way, now that I think about it, he collects mountain goods and sells them, and then brings goods back from other places to sell them. If the business is good, both parties can make money. Doesn't he have a wife?" Dou Li said.
"Yes, his wife is dead and he hasn't taken a concubine yet, nor does he plan to take a concubine. Later, after I worked for him with my sharp tongue, he agreed and asked me to come and propose marriage. As for me, I don't
If I dare to make the decision without permission, I will seek your opinions first. I have already told Dou Fuxi just now, and now I can give you a brief explanation. If you agree, I will go to Xi Zili and decide on this marriage. If you don't agree,
I will also answer the question and introduce other women to Xi Zili. Now that I have met Qi'er's parents, what do you think?" asked the matchmaker.
"I have no objection, it's up to her." Dou Fuxi said.
"What's the situation in his family?" Dou Li asked.
"He was rich. His wife died and he left only one young son." said the matchmaker.
The matchmaker knew the purpose of Dou Li's question and completely eliminated her worries.
Mrs. Dou Li was very satisfied. Although her daughter was just filling in the house, she still had real power. Xi Zili had no concubines, and Dou Qier was the main wife. In the future, she would give birth to a boy and a girl, which would also stabilize the status of the family. All
All the money is under her control. You know, it is very difficult to make money now. If you don't experience poverty, you don't know the importance of money.
Dou Fuxi and his wife are getting older, and they have a hard time grinding and selling tofu. The first six daughters were all married to ordinary people, and their son-in-laws were all ordinary, and none of them were very well-off. Only the one Dou Qier married was rich.
Even filling up a house is affordable. If this can be accomplished, I'm afraid it will bring wealth to the Dou family, which is really good luck.
Both husband and wife had no objection, and the matchmaker was extremely happy. The matchmaker's money was safely in her pocket, and no one else could take it away. So she immediately rushed to Xi Zili's house.
Xi Zili had almost forgotten about it. To be honest, he was doing business abroad and there was no shortage of women around him. He didn't pay much attention to women. He heard a lot from the matchmaker and thought she was verbose, so he gave her some money.
She left, but he didn't expect her to come back soon. This made him a little angry, but seeing the child next to him made him less likely to get angry.
The matchmaker said happily: "The Dou family has agreed to the marriage."
Xi Zili suddenly remembered that the matchmaker had proposed marriage to him, which was to marry the seventh daughter of the Dou family to him. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please help me arrange the marriage and marry her."
The matter was thus settled.
Soon, Dou Qi'er passed the door and became Xi Zili's wife.
Who would have thought that things would go against expectations. When Dou Qi'er got married, she behaved well and didn't do anything to Xi Xiadong! Later, she slowly began to abuse Xi Xiadong when Xi Zili went out to do business.
Later, Dou Qi'er himself gave birth to a son, and he even regarded Xi Xiadong as a thorn in his side. Dou Qi'er, who came from a poor family, knew how to torment Xi Xiadong to have fun.
Xi Zili was doing business outside and heard that Dou Qi'er was abusing his son. He was very worried. However, when he was doing business outside, he couldn't watch his son every day. Dou Qi'er and his son also needed Dou Qi'er to take care of him, so,
He has two sons and a wife at home, but he can't do anything to Dou Qier. If he offends her and she slaps her butt and walks away, he really has nothing to do.
Just make do with it and raise Xi Xiadong. Xi Zili happened to catch a cold outside and became more and more ill. Unexpectedly, he became bedridden.
Dou Qier did not expect that life would be so miserable. Her parents' family was poor and they had to fill a house. When they arrived at Xi Zili's house, they had not lived a good life for two years. Xi Zili was sick and very serious. It seemed that he would be bedridden all year round.
This is very testing!
It was heart-breaking to see Xi Zili dying, haggard and bedridden.
Dou Qi'er married Xi Zili and became the Xi Dou family.
When Mrs. Xi Dou saw that the family was about to break up, she began to make crooked ideas. She became so evil that she became murderous and wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
How to achieve the goal?
She thought hard for a long time before she came up with a plan and started to implement it.
She said to Xi Xiadong: "Xia Dong, you are a good son. You are your father's treasure. Over the years, as your stepmother, I have not done a good job. Don't hold grudges. I can't help it. Look at how pitiful I am.
I am from a poor family and have no money. I married your father and became your stepmother. I have to take care of you. I have your brother and I have to take care of your brother. Now your brother needs to be taken care of and your father also needs to take care of you. When you grow up, you have to take care of your brother.
I have to shoulder the burden of the family. I am a womanly person. It is not good-looking if I do things that appear in public. I am afraid that others will laugh at them and worry about other people's comments. You are a good son and your father's right-hand man. You should do something.
For your father. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Xi Xiadong didn't know what she was thinking. He had been afraid of her since he was a child! Now she suddenly said soft words, was she trying to deceive others?
He didn't speak, and Mrs. Xi Dou continued: "Look, your father is so good, but now he is very ill, but we have to give him treatment. We can't let your father die suddenly. He needs good treatment. If he is not cured, he will die.
, So, how will our family make a living?" After she finished speaking, her tears fell to the ground.
Xi Xiadong was still unmoved. He knew very well that Xi Dou was a person who was good at disguising herself. In other words, she was a hypocrite.
"Xia Dong, go to the city to buy some medicine, buy some better medicine quickly, buy it for your father to drink, and let him get better soon. As long as he gets better, our family will have hope. He belongs to our family.
He is the pillar, as long as he is the pillar, everything else will be fine," said Mr. Xi Dou.
Xi Xiadong still didn't speak, but he felt a little relieved. He felt that no matter how bad Xi Dou was, at least he was performing well at this moment. He was still a little worried, afraid that his father would die. If he died, it would be no good for her, because if his father was alive, he was his.
A money tree can get money. If it dies, it means there is no money tree.
Xi Xiadong agreed, nodded, and went to the city, hiking mountains and wading rivers, walking dozens of miles, and bought good medicine.
The city is really bustling, with all kinds of medicines and other fun things available, but Xi Xiadong doesn't dare to stay because his father is still in the hospital bed waiting for medicine to cure his illness. He hopes that these medicines can cure the disease and let his father recover soon.
Get better.
Xi Xiadong thought to himself, why did her stepmother have such conscience? Now she suddenly became kinder to her father and herself? Could it be that her father's illness made her feel scared? She couldn't make money because she was sick. She was born in a poor family and had no money, so she was afraid of money.
Pay special attention to it, that is, see if you have money. If you have money, I will live with you. If you don't have money, say goodbye.
There are many such people everywhere, so her behavior is understandable.
When he was a child, he was lucky if he didn't die in her hands. Now she has suddenly changed. Is it because of her conscience? Or does she sincerely want to help her father recover so that he can earn money for her and her brother?
You know, my brother is not at fault.
She is also her father's son, so she has to be patient. She suddenly treats her father well, which means it is profitable.
Because I came from a poor family, I had to plan everything carefully and not waste it, because from waste, what I save is what I earn.
As soon as he was happy, he would do something. He thought that his stepmother was getting older and the child was still young, so he definitely wanted his father to live.
After thinking about it, he knew what he was doing and said, "Mom, let me make some medicine for my father!"
When Mrs. Xi Dou heard that Xi Xiadong called her mother, she felt sad and burst into tears.
Xi Xiadong saw her crying and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"Son! You are so sensible. This makes my mother touched! It seems that our family will all count on you in the future. Your brother is still young. Your father will recover from his illness soon. There is hope for both of us. If
If your father can't bear it, then I hope you will shoulder the burden of the family."
Mrs. Xi Dou started to cry again as she spoke.
Xi Xiadong couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he went to stay up late, making medicine while sighing. This person is so strange, he changes so quickly! You don't know until you encounter something big, but you will show it after encountering it.
After finishing the medicine, Xi Xiadong personally handed it to Xi Dou.
Mrs. Xi Dou said: "You have worked hard. Go and do your work. You are too tired. I will help your father drink medicine. I believe that if you drink this medicine, your illness will be cured immediately."
"Okay, excuse me, mother, I still have some work to do in the fields. Let's go and do it!" Xi Xiadong said.
"Go, go, I'm here!" said Mrs. Xi Dou.
So Xi Xiadong went to work in the fields with peace of mind.
Not long after, someone came and called him: "It's not going to be good soon. Your father is dying. Come home quickly and take a look!"
Xi Xiadong panicked as soon as he heard the news. He dropped his hoe and stumbled back.
When he got home, he saw his father bleeding from all his orifices, lying upright on the bed, his body stiff and cold. His father, Xi Zili, was completely dead!
Many people had come in outside the house, and the land security guards had also arrived. When Xi Dou saw Xi Xiadong, he grabbed his collar and said, "You are a murderer! It was you, Xi Xiadong, who poisoned Xi Zili to death. Let's go and file a lawsuit."
Go, you cruel guy, pay for my husband and the father of my youngest son!"
When Xi Xiadong saw his father like this, he felt sad. Before he could kneel down, his stepmother slapped him on the face and dragged him to see the official.
When the local security guard took a look, he could only appease everyone first, arrange for people to protect the scene, and then go to see the officials together.
When Tang Lu saw them coming, he asked about the situation and learned the general content.
Mrs. Xi Dou kept accusing Xi Xiadong of poisoning and scolded Xi Xiadong with tears and snot. He was neither a thing nor a human being. He was really the most cruel person in the world.
When Tang Lu saw this situation, he immediately sent someone to see the body and conduct an examination. The police officer was the first to bear the brunt. This was his job.
Soon, after the examination, they came out with a report, saying that the deceased was Xi Zili, male, 51 years old, from Xizhuang, doing business for a living, with two characters, his first wife died of illness, and he married another woman, Fuzheng, Xi Dou, the son of his deceased wife.
The son's name was Xi Xiadong. Xi Dou later gave birth to a son who was still young. Xi Zili was poisoned to death and did not commit suicide.
Tang Lu understood the situation after reading Zuo Zuo's report. He made a decision through observation.
He could only choose to retreat in order to advance and see if there was any improvement.
"Xi Xiadong, tell me, did you poison your father to death?"
"Oh, no, no, sir, I didn't poison him to death. How did he die? I hope you can find the culprit, eliminate everyone's fear and suspicion, and return to a healthy and natural state. This is the best." Xi Xiadong said.
"Okay, you said it wasn't you, but your stepmother said it was you. After the autopsy, it was found that he died of poisoning. The case has been put on hold for the time being, waiting for the news. You are the most suspect. I will temporarily aggrieve you and spend a few days in jail.
We will make the final decision after the case is clarified," Tang Lu said.
"Sir, this is really not Xiao Xiao's case. My father is very kind to Xiao Xiao. He lost his mother when he was young. My father takes special care of Xiao Xiao. For Xiao Xiao's sake, he is afraid that his ex-mother and stepmother will treat him badly.
He was an unmarried wife. Later, he couldn't stand the matchmaker's persuasion, so my father was tempted and found this woman. This woman was kind-hearted and evil-hearted. She was two-faced. In front of my father, she was very kind to the younger one. Behind my father's back, my father went out to have sex.
During the business period, she abused Xiao Xiao, who grew up in a difficult and difficult environment and was tempered. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xi Dou regarded Xiao Xiao as a thorn in his flesh, and wanted to get rid of Xiao Xiao quickly, so he tried to make this happen.
In this case, the blame is that my father should not have listened to the matchmaker. He was luring the wolf into the house, which ultimately destroyed the Xi family. This Xi Dou family is a vixen and a harmful spirit."
"Don't jump to conclusions first. It's not your turn to say what essence it is. I have already found out that you went to the city to buy this medicine, and then you took it home and made the medicine yourself. Regarding these two facts, you
Do you think what I said is right?" Tang Lu asked.
"Yes, sir, it is indeed a fact. The medicine was bought and prepared by a young person. There is nothing wrong with this." Xi Xiadong said.
"Since it was all done by you, it's difficult to rule out suspicion about you. Your stepmother treated you badly and abused you. You would have died a long time ago. It seems that she did not intentionally cause your death. She still gave it to you.
No matter how bad your stepmother is, she still gave birth to offspring for your father and gave you a younger brother. You should be grateful to her. Why are you ruthlessly attacking when something goes wrong now? What is going on? No matter how you explain it,
You can't shirk your responsibility at this time. Come, put Xi Xiadong in jail and await trial." Tang Lu said, "Oh, no, sign and sign first, and then go to jail to await trial."
