Chapter 165: Finally no longer worried about Mei Li's comeback, just keep eating melons
At this time, Tian Xiaoxiao already looked like a young girl. Before going out, she covered herself up.
I won’t stay in Xijing for too long. I’ll just eat melon for a few days and then go back to Shengjing.
As soon as I went out, I saw two women in their thirties swearing at each other in the street. Opposite was Deng Hongyu's spice shop.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, why are these two women arguing? ]
Daju: [The husband’s family divided the property unevenly, so the sisters-in-law started quarreling. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Do you also think that the parents-in-law divided the property unevenly? ]
Daju: [The old man favored his youngest son. Although he gave both sons the same land and shop, he secretly gave the youngest son 1,000 taels of silver and 20 acres of forest.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No wonder they are arguing! This topic never changes.]
Daju: [The eldest has always done most of the housework. Now that the family has been divided, the two old people have to live with the eldest son.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn't this too much of a bully? The old man gets little money, and he still has to support two elderly people? ]
Daju: [Since ancient times, caring for the elderly has always been the eldest son’s responsibility! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [This is an evil trend and must be cured.]
Daju: [How do you think we should solve this problem? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The younger son’s family gets more benefits, so of course the younger son has more obligations to fulfill!]
More and more people gathered around, all eating melons.
The neighbors all know that the two old men in the Li family are extremely biased.
Before the family split up, the eldest daughter-in-law did the laundry, cooking, and serving tea, while the younger daughter-in-law did not have to do any housework.
Most of the shops in the family are managed by the eldest son. Over the years, the business has grown bigger and bigger. He has opened several shops and made a lot of money.
The younger son just asks for money.
Everyone listened to the quarrel between the two daughters-in-law of the Li family and shook their heads.
Daju: [But I think that the eldest brother’s loss is only temporary. After the family is divided, with the eldest brother’s talent, he can expand the store in a few years. The younger one, who only knows how to spend money but not how to make a living, will spend all his money sooner or later.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No matter how capable the eldest son is, the family property must be divided equally. If the two elders love the youngest son, they should do more good deeds for him and eliminate the eldest son's resentment. The eldest son may even help the youngest son in the future.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The elders only thought of using money to make up for their younger son’s lack of ability, but after they died, the two brothers turned against each other, how would the younger son live? ]
Daju: [That makes sense! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Poor parents in the world, they always favor the child who is not very good. They think that outstanding children do not need the love of their parents. This is a wrong view.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No matter how old a person is, he or she is still his or her parents’ child, and longs for praise, recognition, and attention from his or her parents.]
Daju: [This little daughter-in-law is not an easy person to deal with. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [A harmonious family brings prosperity. If the old one stirs up conflict, the family's fortune will gradually decline. Let's go and eat the melon of the next family.]
The man and the cat continued to move forward.
Some children are playing hide-and-seek.
Daju: [A child hid in a water tank. There is water in the tank now. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn't that very dangerous? If I go to save him, which water tank is he in?]
Daju: [The water tank used to hold waste water in the teahouse next door. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao found the water tank and scooped the child up.
"Little boy, this place is very dangerous. Don't hide here next time!"
The spectators, eating melons can also save people, this girl really has a kind heart of a bodhisattva.
After rescuing the child, Tian Xiaoxiao found that her cultivation had improved a lot.
Secretly happy.
Daju: [A scholar died in the city last night. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How did he die?]
Daju: [Allergy. He is allergic to peanuts. The bowl he ate in last night was previously used by his family to hold peanuts.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Peanut allergy is terrible. Severe cases can cause breathing difficulties. Is this the case with Xiucai?]
Daju: [Yes, we slept for three days and three nights, and a lot of things happened in Xijing! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The ancients had too little common sense. There is a disease called favism in this world. People cannot get close to broad beans and cannot use many things. It will only get better when they are adults. Children need to be especially careful.]
Daju: [You can write a book and teach the people of Mingning Country. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Let’s talk about it when we have time.]
There were people in the crowd who were familiar with the scholar's family, and they rushed to tell them.
Only then did the scholar's family know why the scholar didn't eat peanuts on weekdays. They thought that the scholar was deliberately finding fault with him, and ended up never believing him.
Now I am in tears, my own family has killed their own family members.
It turned out that the scholar's family believed that the scholar was murdered by someone else, but it seemed that it was their family's fault, so they withdrew the petition that had been submitted to Jingzhao Yin.
As she walked, Tian Xiaoxiao seemed to hear the crying again.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, did you hear the crying? ]
Daju: [Ah, that family is really miserable. Yesterday, the man of the family accidentally hit and killed his eldest grandson while driving a horse carriage.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh my god! Isn’t the mother going to cry to death?]
Daju: [That’s the crying sound you heard. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I don’t know what to say about this. The living should look forward. Let’s eat some happy melons. We have been so desperate all the way.]
Daju: [Happy Guado, the Jingzhao Yin wet the bed last night! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How old is Jingzhao Yin this year? ]
Daju: [Almost fifty.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Hahaha, a 50-year-old man wets the bed? Does he have kidney problems?]
Among the onlookers there was a bailiff from the Jingzhao Yin government office who happened to be eating wontons nearby and ate the melon of his immediate superior.
The rest of the people wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
During these three days, they have received orders from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that if a girl in Xijing takes a cat to the street to eat melons, she must not be allowed to know that her thoughts can be heard by everyone.
Daju: [With so many women in the family, it’s strange that his kidneys are healthy. The point is, he didn’t admit that he wet the bed, and insisted that it was Cuihua, the maid who slept in the same bed with him last night, who peed.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh, a maid? A maid who climbs into the bed? Having so many concubines is not enough, you have to sleep with a maid? One pear blossom overshadows the other! ]
Daju: [You are so literary. Why didn’t I realize you have such good literary talent before? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I don’t want to. Understand?]
Daju: [I don’t understand! You are showing off your knowledge!]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What happened next? ]
Daju: [Later? Later, Jingzhao Yin gave the maid a silver hairpin, and she changed her story and said that it was indeed her who peed.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What should I do with the clothes and pants that are wet with urine? ]
Daju: [The Jingzhao Yin set fire to the house, and accidentally caused the bedroom to flood. Now the Jingzhao Yin has an excuse to cover up.]
The onlookers said: So this is what happened when the fire broke out in Jingzhao Yin’s house this morning. This will make us laugh for a long time.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where's the bed? It must be wet too, right?]
Daju: [Jingzhao Yin deliberately wet it with water. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The weather is so hot, how can the smell of adult urine dissipate so easily? ]
Daju: [The maid who was doing laundry in his house was also wondering this morning why the master's mat smelled foul. She even went to tell Jingzhao Yin's wife. As a result, Jingzhao Yin's wife didn't smell urine, but saw something left on the mat. Jingzhao Yin's family must be in an uproar at this moment! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What's the fuss?]
