Putting down the bucket, Xue Sifu continued, “That person happened to be carrying a load of tofu and was planning to sell it at the market. He happened to pass by our shop and we chatted for a while.
“That person told me that ever since Xue Daxi smashed her favorite pot, they’ve only been using one measly pot to cook.
“Xue Darongs parents were worried that Xue Daxi would smash that pot too cause if that really happened, they wouldn’t have other ways to eat. Therefore, they stopped provoking Xue Daxi.
“February was on its way and they were still being very passive at home. No one in that family was earning money, so naturally, more conflicts started to arise.
“That person said that they’ve been hearing more fights happening lately, and everyone in the village is starting to get annoyed.
“If this continues, it probably won’t be long before Daxi and Hongguo will be able to break away from that family. There would be fewer complications if there were at least two fewer mouths to feed at home.’
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had heard about Xue Daxi smashing the pot before. They were not surprised that she did it because they knew that she had almost chopped someone up with a kitchen knife before.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could tell that this conflict will only get worse. It wouldn’t be long before Xue Daxi and Hongguo would be forced to leave that family.
However… Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other before with side eyes.
Jiang Yue said, “Sifu, even if Xue Darong is willing to let them go, Xue Darongs parents will not be willing to let Hongguo leave that house for nothing. After all, whether Hongguo is married off or sold, they will ask to have at least some money.
“If they don’t sell or marry their granddaughter into another family, they will definitely ask Xue Daxi for money before kicking her out. Regardless of whether she is sold or married off, they won’t get as much money compared to asking Daxi to pay.
“Didn’t they buy that concubine for nearly five silver? The most likely possibility is to ask for money from Xue Daxi. They know that her side of the family has money, but Xue Daxi doesn’t, so the next best thing they will come up with is to ask us to give them money.
“Based on Xue Daxi’s personality, she will not accept this offer. Otherwise, she would have come back with Hongguo early on.
“l think she doesn’t want to drag her family into this mess and wants to resolve this matter herself. Even if she does borrow money from us, she might not be able to repay it even if she works for a lifetime.
“This means that if that family wants to let Xue Daxi go, knowing the fact that Xue Daxi will refuse to come to us for help, the only choice is to sell Hongguo off. That way they can make even just a little bit of money to survive. She will make sure her daughter is sold off at a lower price, only then would she accept it. ”
“Yes.” Xue Sifu nodded his head in agreement. “But if that’s the case, Hongguo will be so disappointed in Xue Darong and the others. Then again, Hongguo will see their true colors one day. Once that happens, she’ll cut off all ties with them in the future. Whether it’s Xue Daxi or Hongguo, they won’t have the room to handle their trickery anymore. Even if they wanted to drag them to the ground, those two will never fall for their tricks ever again.” In other words, there would be no future trouble.
“Yes. 1 hope so.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nod at the same time.
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu returned from the stable. Liu Guixia and the others were all at home, but Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu were nowhere to he to be seen.
Xue Sifu was confused, “Mother, where are the rest of them?”
Liu Guixia smiled and said, “They went to buy some land. They wanted to plant some strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other wild things that are growing at home this year. We have a lot of seeds left to plant.
“We planned to buy a few dozen acres, but after we thought about it, we decided to buy a hundred acres instead.
“That is why they’re out and trying to buy the newly reclaimed land. That kind of land doesn’t need to pay taxes for three years, and it’s much cheaper than normal dry land. Anyway, those wild things don’t seem like they need high requirements to grow.
“Didn’t they grow quite well last year on their own without care? So having land like this might just be it for them..”
