Chapter 203 Money

Xia Xuejiao is the same as Xia Yujiao in that her appearance follows the Zhou family. However, Xia Xuejiao's temperament is different from Xia Yujiao's.

She slowly recounted her experiences and what she saw and heard, her voice neither urgent nor slow, neither high nor low. It was clear that she had just experienced such a big change, but there was no panic at all, only a sad and gloomy aura.

It lingered around her.

The Xia family couldn't help but come over to listen.

Xia Xuejiao said slowly:

"Probably because the owner of the carriage shop saw the opportunity early.

As soon as I realized something was wrong, I quickly lowered the door panel and posted a notice outside that the owner was out of business due to business.

After finishing this work, he took everyone in the carriage shop, including himself and the guests who came to rent, buy, and return cars, and hid in the cellar."

"Although the cellar is not a secret room, it can still be considered a good hiding place.

The most important thing is that the owner of the horse and carriage shop had a lot of property on display. When the enemy troops broke in, they rushed to the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and did not bother to search the house carefully to see if there were any.

People are here."

Shiro is a quick talker. When he heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Many houses in the village have been knocked down, especially the old ones made of mud. Weren't the carriages in the carriage house smashed, the horses killed, and the houses burned down?"

Xia Xuejiao nodded:

""The carriages and horses that the carriage owners were most worried about were not damaged.

The main reason is that the horses used to pull the carts are inferior horses bought at low prices. They are really incomparable with the magnificent war horses.

Those barbarians were used to beating up good horses, so they didn't pay attention to these rogue horses at all, and they were busy fighting for property, so they probably didn't bother to cause damage."

"The Carriage and Horse Shop is in the best condition. Didn't the county government office catch on fire a few days ago? Most of the street near the county government office was burned down.

Nowadays, there are many heads chopped off by those barbarians piled up there, and they are piled high, higher than the tallest Cloud Climbing Tower in the town. The smell of blood can be smelled from a distance..."

Xia Xuejiao's narration sounds ordinary, but every word is thrilling.

Zhou was deeply shocked after hearing these words.

Xia Xuejiao's husband's family is considered to be well-off and has a large population. Although it is just a commoner family with no official position, after all, the family is rich and has several servants.

But in just a short moment, a good family was shattered into pieces, and the family was destroyed.

Xia Xuejiao also went from being the head of the family that everyone envied, to becoming an ominous person that everyone was afraid of avoiding, a downcast widow. Her husband's family members all died, but she didn't know if her uncles and brothers living in the next room survived.

Maybe there are still people from Xia Xuejiao's family clan.

But Xia Xuejiao's husband and children were all dead, leaving only one daughter.

No matter how much property her husband's family left her, I'm afraid it would all be taken away by her husband's clan. She might not even be able to get her own dowry back.

However, they survived the war. This alone is stronger than anything else.

Full of pain, but also somewhat lucky, Zhou felt that she should go to the Sophora Tree Empress Temple to burn incense to honor the gods and thank God and the Sophora Tree Empress for their blessing.

However, the war has not completely subsided at this time, and there are always a few relatives and friends coming to the village from time to time, and it is not clear what the situation is outside.

No matter how tough Zhou was, she would not dare to go out like this.

After hearing Xia Xuejiao's experience, Xia Youtian and Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but think of the proposal Xia Daohua just made, and felt a little numb.

My daughter just said that we should not stay in this war-torn place for long, and the eldest sister brought a living example in front of her.

Previously, the incident at the Xia family's main house had already shocked them.

But Xia Dalang is a resolute person after all. Although he was extremely silent after being stimulated by this incident, he only briefly mentioned that Xia Youcai was killed and his two girls and his wife were missing, without mentioning much about what he had experienced.

.

Although the tragic situation in the town was also mentioned, it was not as detailed and horrific as what Xia Xuejiao said.

The couple both felt that it was urgent to move their family.

The knot in Lihua's heart originally caused by the death of her eldest son, was miraculously relieved by what happened to her eldest aunt Xia Xuejiao's mother-in-law's family.

She has never had a conflict with her eldest aunt since she was a child, and she has never spoken ill or cursed at her eldest uncle or their family members. They also suffered the same misfortune...

It can be seen that what happened this time was actually the fate of all sentient beings, not his own fault. And what happened to the uncle's family was only because they happened to live in the town, and it was definitely not the fault of the bad words he blurted out.

After feeling a little relieved, Lihua couldn't help but feel a little guilty - after such a tragedy happened in the town, she actually felt as relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted... Am I too bad?

The topic Xia Xuejiao talked about was heavy, and everyone had their own thoughts. Everyone fell silent, and the whole atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

Xia Xuejiao wiped away the tears that she had shed again at some point, forced out a smile, and said to the Zhou family and the Xia family:

"Look at me, when I talk, I won't stop talking. Thanks to this being my natal family, all the people here are my close relatives, so they don't mind me being verbose."

Zhou raised her eyebrows, raised her eyes, and held Xia Xuejiao's cold hand:

"Whoever dares to despise you will see if I don't beat him to death!

Your natal family will always be your home.

You can live with peace of mind, even though there are several people at home, the house is enough. But if it is not enough, you can come and squeeze in with me and your father, so that I won’t wrong you!"

Xia Xuejiao nodded: "I know my mother loves me. The brothers and sisters in our family are all of the same mind, and there is no such thing as bullshit and plotting against each other."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's expression couldn't help but become subtle for a moment. Everyone in the Xia family also looked embarrassed for a moment. However, Xia Xuejiao didn't seem to notice at all, and continued talking to herself:

"It's just that these brothers should settle their accounts clearly so that their relationship can last long.

I live at home and have caused a lot of trouble to my brothers and sisters. I can't let them provide money to support me.

The two children and I are living and eating at my parents' house, and I have to pay for the expenses myself."

While Xia Xuejiao was talking, she took out a small bundle and opened it to Mrs. Zhou:

"I will put these thirty taels of silver in mother's hand first. When I need to spend it, I will take it out from here. Mother, do you think this is good?"

Zhou's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes:

"You kid, why do you care so much?

You just encountered such a big disaster, and you ran out in a hurry. You were afraid that you didn't have a few coins with you. Now that you gave them all to me, wouldn't you have nothing on you?"

I failed to adjust my schedule and had trouble sleeping last night...
