When Ms. Lu was still around in the past, Xie Mangshan and the others only needed to secretly send a message to Ms. Lu to understand Xie Niushan’s situation. However, things were different now.
Ms. Lu was not living as well as them.
No one knew what they had done to make second brother so angry that he actually divorced her.
As for the nonsense that Xie Niushan had said earlier, the old lady and the others did not take him seriously.
“Old Madam, we’ve brought news!” After waiting for a long time, they finally heard some news.
They quickly called the person in to ask.
“How is it? What did Pinggang Say? Didn’t I ask to get the two little ones to come and stay for a few days?” The old lady asked.
If the little ones came, how could they not bring some gifts?
“Our First Young Lady said that the Second Young Master and Second Young Lady are currently staying at the external residence and have no time to visit. Today, I specially brought a carriage to fetch the Old Lady home. The courtyard is ready. You can stay as long as you want,” the Xie family servant said.
The old lady’s expression changed when she heard that.
She quickly called her two sons to the back.
“That girl really wants me to stay at their house?!” The old lady was furious when she thought of that girl.
“I reckon she’s sure that you wouldn’t dare to go!” Xie Mangshan gritted his teeth, “Mother, you’re an elder. Just stay there. If she dares to do anything to you, just suppress her with filial piety!”
“That’s right. At most, this girl will say some harsh comments. She definitely wouldn’t dare to mistreat you at all. After you move in, the two of us will be able to visit you. If we see that you have lost weight and suffered grievances, we can go to the government and sue her!” Xie Congshan added.
If she refused to go…
What benefits would they get in the future?
They had been used to having their second son provide for their family for the past few years. However, there had been no news during the new year, causing their pockets to be tight.
How could they eat and send gifts if they did not have money?
The children at home needed their connection as well in their careers.
“But I just think that girl is strange. Look at the last time she came to our place. All the things in the house were almost taken away by her. I feel uneasy going there alone,” the old lady was getting on in age now, she was getting more timid.
“Pinggang should be married by now, right?” Xie Mangshan suddenly said, “I heard that this guy is now a sixth-grade official…”
The old lady sighed, “Such a good official, why isn’t he my eldest grandson?”
The children of Ms. Peng, the bandit, was unpleasant to look at.
“Ms. Jia has a niece who is now 17. Some time ago, her marriage was canceled and she’s currently at home, feeling worried. Why don’t you bring her along? Also, Second Brother isn’t at home. As her grandmother,you can arrange a marriage for that girl, Xie Qiao!” Xie Mangshan added.
Ms. Jia was not in the capital.
After Xie Niushan became an official, Xie Mangshan gained a lot of benefits and brought the in-law’s family over.
He bought a small courtyard. It was a little far, but they could take care of each other.
“Will Pinggang be willing? Your wife’s niece is pretty good-looking, but she has a tricky temper,” the old lady frowned.
“You said it yourself. She’s pretty good-looking. If we send this pretty girl home, no man will be able to escape, and there’s no need to sacrifice her virginity. Just by touching her little hand, he will have to marry her! Now that Second Brother and us seem to be a little estranged, we should get hold of these two children!” The more Xie Mangshan thought about it, the more he thought it made sense.
Not only did Xie Pinggang want to marry a wife, but Xie Pinghuai was also 13 this year, right?
He could get engaged already!
