“This is the title deed to a manor in Nirvana Sun, Nanyang County. There are also five thousand taels of silver. With this land and this silver, it’s enough for the four of you to live on.”
Xiao Baoxin pushed it in front of Madam Cheng.” Think about it carefully.””
“If you agree, I will get someone to send you to Nirvana Sun tomorrow.”
“You want to chase us out of Jiankang City?!”Cheng shi had also gotten a big pie on the day, and she was still her mistress in Jiankang City, with land and silver in her hands. Who knew that it was the price of chasing them out.
“Thank… Did Third Master know? Or is this what he meant?”
“Just take it as his intention.” Xiao Baoxin said softly. “I’ll tell you what I’m talking about. Think about it carefully and see if it’s worth it. I don’t want to force you. You walked your own path, so don’t regret it.”
“Do you want to take the silver and live freely outside, or…You can live freely outside.”
The only thing missing was the silver. It was impossible for the Cheng family of the Xie family to enter. It was not an option at all.
Mrs. Cheng also understood Xiao Baoxin’s meaning, but she did not give up. Third Master Xie had boasted to her and brought her to the Xie family. Her three sons would be out of the world in the future. They would no longer have to suffer with her and look down on others. As a widow, she could enter the Xie family. Even if she was a concubine, it was already a high social status.
However, she was really hesitant. Third Master Xie had said everything very well. Madam Wang was also a soft dough. Everything was centered around him.
But it didn’t seem like that was the case at all.
The soft dough in Third Master Xie’s mouth smashed into her front door. If it weren’t for the fact that the guards of the Xie residence didn’t give her face, she would have been smashed. This wasn’t something a soft dough could do. It was like a stone in a latrine pit, smelly and hard.
The more Madam Cheng thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. Why did she draw such a circle when she was drawing a big cake? She pulled her handkerchief and cried,
“Furen doesn’t know that my husband died before I was twenty years old. I raised two children by myself. If I didn’t inherit my husband’s tofu house and barely make a living, I wouldn’t even be able to find a place to die. It was still Chancellor Xie, Third Master Xie…I pity you. You’ve treated me very well all these years, but you’re letting me go just like that. I can’t accept it without a word of explanation…”
Hearing this, Xiao Baoxin slapped the wooden box and picked it up to leave.
Cheng shi was so shocked that she forgot to cry. Halfway through her tears, she subconsciously hugged the wooden box with both hands.
What kind of operation was this? Why did he take back the conditions just because they didn’t agree?
He didn’t allow her to reminisce about the past?
“Madam, what are you doing?” “I didn’t say I wouldn’t leave.””
Xiao Baoxin blinked.” Then it seems that I misunderstood what Lady Cheng meant. Since Cheng Niangzi has decided, I wish Cheng Niangzi a safe journey. Now, go back to your residence to pack up and travel lightly. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send you on your way.”
The corner of Madam Cheng’s mouth twitched. These words did not sound auspicious, and she was taboo.
“I have already agreed to Madam’s conditions. Do you think it’s possible for Third Master to meet San Lang? San Lang usually respects Third Master the most…”
“Wake up, Cheng Niangzi. This is the condition. Otherwise, just pretend 1 never came.” Xiao Baoxin tried to pull the wooden box back. It was hard to imagine that Cheng Shi was so weak that she couldn’t even catch a chicken. When she was with Xie San Ye, she was so strong that Xiao Baoxin couldn’t pull the wooden box back.
What kind of determination was this!
Xiao Baoxin felt an inexplicable admiration for the Cheng family.
“I agree to Madam’s conditions.” The Cheng Corporation was quick to cut the Gordian knot. This fellow really didn’t want to be hypocritical with her. She just wanted to say a few words to express her feelings. If it didn’t work, then it didn’t work. Did she have to immediately turn hostile and leave?
Xiao Baoxin nodded and finally let go. Cheng shi heaved a sigh of relief.
“Personally, I think you made the right choice. A man with a family and no responsibilities, a real estate and five thousand taels of gold and silver. If it were me, I would choose the latter.”
“Moreover, if you don’t enter the Xie family, your son will always be the legitimate son. There’s no need to be humble and fight for those three melons and two dates. The sons of concubines from big families might not be as glamorous as you think. Some people didn’t even know how they died.”
Xiao Baoxin told the truth.
Madam Cheng held the wooden box. When Xiao Baoxin finished speaking and walked out, she could not help but ask,
“.. Can my son still be surnamed Xie?”
This Xie Xian didn’t explain. Xiao Baoxin smiled and said,”As you wish. It wasn’t like the Xie family of Chen County was the only one with the surname Xie in the world.”
Xiao Baoxin pushed the door open and walked out. The three young men rushed over with serious and tense expressions. They looked at her with guarded expressions, as if they were afraid that she would eat their mother.
“Mother.”
“Don’t be rude. I’ll send Furen downstairs.”Mrs. Cheng held the wooden box in her hand and did not leave her body.
Xiao Baoxin turned around and nodded slightly.”After saying that, he left without looking back, followed by Mu Jin and You Mei.
“Mother, why did she come? Are you going to bring us into the Xie family?” San Lang asked gloomily.
Although he had asked the question, it was obvious that it was not the case. The other party walked faster than a rabbit. There was no way to pick someone up like this.
“Let’s not enter the Xie family. We’ll go back and pack our things. Tomorrow, we’ll set off for Nanyang County.”
Since she had made her decision, Madam Cheng was relaxed and had no more hesitation.
The Xie family was not easy to control. They threw the title deed and banknotes here without the slightest worry that she would go back on her word. It was because they had the confidence. With her own strength, there was no way she could shake the Xie family.
After entering the restaurant, she had chased away the hoodlums who had been pestering her and sent them to the government. Then, she had thrown silver at her.
One hand after another, using both hard and soft tactics.
How could she not accept it?
With Third Brother Xie’s character, staying in the Xie family and not even showing his face, she was afraid that she would not even get these benefits in the end.
She knew that Xie Xian was in charge of the Xie Residence. Although Third Xie was Xie Xian’s elder, he really wasn’t as extravagant in terms of money as Xie Xian. She should stop while she was ahead. An egg could not touch a stone.
With the title deed and silver notes in her hands, Xie Xian and his wife did not say how they would deal with the property and restaurant in Jiankang City. Since they did not say anything, they let her deal with them.
Cheng shi’s eyes turned and a plan came to her mind.
“Go home and pack up first. Pick a few loyal and reliable servants and take them away. Don’t bring anything else.”
“What about Abba?” San Lang asked stubbornly.
Madam Cheng sighed.” Your father can’t even protect himself now. Why don’t we find a place to stay first and then try to meet again in the future?” He is your father, and he will always be your father. He will never disown you. Go.”
Erlang winked at Dalang, and the two of them half-pushed and half-coaxed Sanlang back home.
Madam Cheng called Shopkeeper Tong over and sized him up.
He had been working in her restaurant for six or seven years. She had hired him since the restaurant opened. He was capable and tactful.
“You, I heard that my wife died last year. Have you found someone?”she asked..
