Chapter 190 Cui Family Arrives
Gao felt like she was going crazy because of the two sisters. If she hadn't been concerned about Xu Taohua still lying there unconscious, she would have wanted to rush in and strangle Xu Guihua to death.
Today she followed the neighbor's wife to deliver the washed and folded clothes. She originally thought that she could try to fool the woman with the torn clothes, but she didn't know that the woman was not a pushover. She looked through each piece of clothing carefully and soon discovered the trick.
You have to know that when they came to collect the clothes, they made a promise that they would compensate for them if they were lost or damaged. However, Gao couldn't afford the compensation, so she had no other choice. The man asked her to wash the clothes for free for ten days, and the matter was over.
Gao also begged and said that it was not intentional, and that she might have used more force because she wanted to wash it more thoroughly, and that she would definitely not do it again.
So she brought back all the clothes to wash, thinking that after paying off the compensation for the past ten days, she would be able to earn some money, right?
Because the clothes were torn by the two sisters yesterday, Gao naturally felt that the compensation for the past ten days should be paid by Xu Guihua and her sister, so she started to urge Xu Guihua when she got home, but no matter how she shouted or scolded outside, she just stayed in the house and didn't come out.
"If you have the guts, then never go out. I'll starve you to death in this house."
Gao really had no way to deal with them. She didn't dare to hit them, and they wouldn't respond when she was scolded. In the end, she had to wash the clothes herself in a rage.
She thought of not giving Xu Guihua any food and letting her starve until she gave in. However, she was told that she could not eat, but the injured Xu Taohua had to eat.
If Xu Taohua was starving and got hurt, she would go to the government office to sue the couple in the third room and have them thrown in jail...
Gao didn't dare to gamble with the lives of her family, so she had to go about her own business angrily and no longer care about the affairs of Xu Guihua and her sister.
It was not until the men from Lao Xu's family came back that a new round of pulling and quarreling began.
As expected, all these things happening in the Xu family quickly reached the ears of Xu Qinghe's family.
"If I didn't want to kick that family out of Prince Ning's Mansion as soon as possible, I would really like to keep them for a while, just like listening to opera. It feels quite interesting."
Yuxiu sighed leisurely, looking as if she was still unsatisfied, which made both Xu Qinghe and Cui laugh. They couldn't understand what kind of bad taste their daughter had.
Today they went to discuss it with the old princess, and she told them to just wait at home and that everything would be handled by her.
The old lady was also very courageous. She just said that she already had a solution. However, for such a big matter, she had to produce solid evidence, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public.
There is also the key figure in this matter, Xu Muyun, who is not in the capital now. The old lady is thinking about whether she can coax him back, and then all parties can come together to sort out the matter face to face.
Since the old lady said they didn't need to worry about it, Yuxiu didn't think about it anymore. She took some time to run to Maple Leaf Lane a few more times, but she didn't run into Xu Linzhi's family again.
Everything over there had been cleaned up, and Xu Qinghe arranged for people to come and set up kangs in all the houses, including the Xu family's two houses.
The servants here had been arranged to come in a long time ago. The house had just been renovated and now they were cleaning up. The courtyard, which had originally looked dilapidated, now looked brighter.
Five or six days passed in a flash, and Uncle Cui and his family finally arrived in the capital safely.
"Oh my, my daughter's belly is already so big."
As soon as Mrs. Cui got off the carriage, she uttered an exclamation.
Indeed, Cui's belly had been getting bigger recently, and the two children were very active in her belly, tossing and turning inside from time to time, making Cui feel both uncomfortable and happy.
"Mom, big brother, you've worked hard along the way. Brother Bo, Brother Wen, you've grown a lot taller in the past few months..."
"Mom, brother, let's go in and sit down first and talk."
After a round of greetings, Xu Qinghe led everyone into a newly built flower hall.
It is called a flower hall, but in Yuxiu's eyes, it is just a simplified version of a greenhouse.
However, what is used here is not glass but colored glaze. It is not as transparent as the glass in the previous life, but its price has increased by dozens of times.
Although a large sum of money was spent, it was quite pleasant to sit inside and drink tea, admire the flowers, etc. when I had nothing to do.
As soon as Mrs. Cui entered the yard, she looked around. Seeing that her daughter could live in such a big yard in the capital, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and kept saying good things.
Brother Cui walked with Xu Qinghe and asked about the specific circumstances of his brother-in-law falling off the cliff. He also sighed that he was indeed a man of good fortune and that those who survived a disaster would surely have good fortune in the future.
Look at this huge mansion now, and the endless stream of servants. Isn't this a sign of good fortune in the future?
The arrival of the Cui family greatly alleviated Cui's anxiety and worry.
Yuxiu calculated the time. If Xu Linzhi's prediction was 100% accurate, then it would only be about ten days before the snow fell.
And there is still exactly one month left until the Chinese New Year.
The three women trained by Cui learned very well. Recently, under her leadership, they have helped the neighbors deliver several babies, which has been well received by everyone.
Although Cui's due date has not yet arrived, she is pregnant with twins and her family is prepared for her to give birth early.
The wealthy families in the capital usually hired wet nurses to help feed their children, but the Xu family was worried about outsiders, so they had already prepared a flock of sheep.
In order to conceal his tracks, Xu Qinghe took two pregnant ewes home and raised them in the backyard, having someone feed them well.
There is also a group of sheep in Yuxiu's space. They were all bought a long time ago and fed carefully every day with spiritual spring water diluted with water, just to squeeze out goat milk for the two babies to drink.
After the Cui family came here, they were thinking about finding something to do. They lived in Phoenix City for a few months. The father and his two sons worked busy with the people in the yamen every day, and they did save some money.
However, considering that it was about to snow, Yuxiu asked them to get familiar with the city first, and then go to the farm with Xu Qinghe when they have time to help out.
We can talk about other things after this cold winter is over.
