Chapter 27 Congratulations

Mrs. Zhou responded and came out. When she saw the person coming, Mrs. Zhou's face turned even darker.

It was none other than Xie Jiabao's parents.

The two men went to the door in person and brought a young man they had never seen before. Combined with the news they had just received, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in the hearts of the old couple.

When Xia Daohua saw the expressions on the old couple's faces, she immediately didn't want to go back to the fourth room. She quietly slipped back into the old couple's room. Fortunately, everyone was quite excited at this moment, so no one was distracted to care about her.

The visitor almost didn't even need to be polite. He entered the room and put his things on the table.

The old lady of the Xie family, with a pale complexion, thin cheeks and a pointed chin, grabbed Mr. Zhou's hand without warning and began to cry and wipe her tears:

"Sister Zhou, why is my life so miserable!"

The old man of the Xie family, who was as skinny as the old lady of the Xie family, also grabbed the hand of the old man of the Xia family and sighed, with three "alas" in one sentence:

"Alas! Alas! I don't know what I, the Xie family, have done!"

The behavior of the two people made the Xia family a little confused.

Could it be that Xie Jiabao has died?

But look at their attire, there is no sign of mourning...

Furthermore, the custom of Beiguan Town is that people who have family funerals cannot just go to other people's homes.

Not even for relatives. Those who go to announce the funeral cannot go directly into the house and can only find someone to tell them. There is absolutely no reason for parents to go to someone else's house in person to announce the funeral after their son dies.

But, if nothing happened to Xie Jiabao, why would the two of them act like they were mourning?

The Xie family cried for a long time, talking here and there, but they never got to the main topic.

At this time, not only the old couple of the Xia family were confused, but also the young man who came with them was beginning to become impatient.

He was too lazy to listen to the chatter of a few old people, so he stated his intention straightforwardly:

"My cousin was plotted against and fell into an ice cave a few days ago.

My cousin didn't know how to drink water. He opened his mouth to cry for help and drank a lot of cold river water.

Fortunately, he was rescued by a kind-hearted person passing by.

It's just that my cousin suffered such a shock and was immersed in ice water for so long, so his body and bones couldn't bear it. Although he drank a large bowl of thick ginger soup, he still developed a high fever that night.

My uncle and aunt were so anxious about my cousin's illness that they called in several doctors. The money flowed out like running water, and they drank a lot of bitter medicine to my cousin, but he didn't feel any better.

Seeing that their cousin's illness was not getting better and he was getting thinner and thinner, lying on the kang in a daze all day long, the old couple went to Huangtao Village to seek help from Hu Banxian.

Hu Banxian exorcised the evil spirits, and then said that it was not enough to drive away the evil spirits, and it would be better to get rid of the evil spirits.

We chose a tomb site for our cousin, bought a good coffin, got good brocade and blue satin, and made old clothes.

But my cousin still looked half-dead and couldn't get up from the bed.

Later, I couldn't eat anymore, and in the past few days, I couldn't even eat porridge or water.

I couldn't even drink the bitter medicine soup.

The whole person is so thin that only a pair of skin and a few bones are left, how pitiful he is!"

At this point, the Xie family's old couple began to cry loudly.

After waiting for their excitement to calm down a little, the young man continued:

"My cousin was so seriously ill, and seeing that he was going to die, our family felt that it was time to arrange the marriage for him.

After all, among all the happy things, this is the only thing left that has not been done.

This is such a blessing, maybe my cousin will be fine!"

When the young man explained his intention, the old Xie family remained silent from beginning to end.

The old lady of the Xie family just held onto Mrs. Zhou tightly, crying and wiping her own tears and nose with Mrs. Zhou's sleeve.

Mr. Xie's father also kept holding on to Mr. Xia's arm and refused to let go. He just kept saying "Alas", "Alas", "Alas" one after another.

The old couple were angry and helpless.

This old Xie family really gave them a big problem.

If they refuse to celebrate, they are betraying their trust and refusing to save her. But if they agree to celebrate, they are pushing their daughter into a pit of fire!

The old couple love their children very much.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the Xie family, the old couple couldn't say a direct refusal.

But if they wanted to agree, they would not be able to say such things as harming their daughter.

Seeing the old couple in a dilemma, the young man from the Xie family said:

"After all, this marriage is between my cousin and my cousin. Whether it will work or not, I have to ask my cousin what they think. Whether to marry or not, let my cousin have a say!"

After hearing this, Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou's faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

Seeing that she didn't express her position, did she start to force Yujiao?

Xia Yujiao's face was in pain, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and opened her mouth to speak with a look of determination.

Xia Daohua, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked up a frozen persimmon on the table that had a layer of white frost on it, and stuffed it into Xia Yujiao's half-open mouth with a pop.

Xia Yujiao was startled by the sudden coldness and sweetness. The word "I" that was already on her lips was choked in her throat. She didn't say anything, only whimpered a few times.

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xia Daohua's face.

Xia Daohua asked with a confused look:

"What are you all looking at me for?

Brother, your cousin is sick. Why don't you take him to see a doctor instead of giving him a happy birthday?

You don’t really want to cure him, do you?

Otherwise, why didn't you go to Dr. Wang, knowing that his disease was incurable?

Look at the back of my head. There is such a big hole and it’s not healed yet!

At that time, people said that I was going to die soon.

As a result, my grandma sent me to Puji Hall, where Dr. Wang from Puji Hall saved me.

Our family didn’t even say that it would be nice to give me a happy birthday!”

The young man blushed, gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Daohua, angrily yelling: "You are so young, how can you be so evil-minded? You are so slanderous!"

Xia Daohua looked confused:

"I asked you to find Dr. Wang to treat your cousin, so why did you become a slanderer?

Or do you really not want to cure your cousin?

Anyway, without your cousin, your uncle, and aunt, I have to rely on you, and the family property will have to be given to you, right?"

"You!" The young man was so angry that he rolled up his arms and sleeves, almost wanting to rush over and give Xia Daohua a good beating.

Xia Daohua looked scared and hid behind Xia Yujiao, only sticking her head out:

"Hey! Could it be that I have convinced you that you want to kill people and silence them?"

Today is the Lantern Festival. Have you eaten the Lantern Festival? Happy Lantern Festival!
