From a distance, I saw many villagers outside my house, but none of them dared to enter the courtyard. They only stood outside the fence and whispered.
Seeing Yuan Qiu's return, the whispers in the crowd weakened significantly. Auntie Lin quickly squeezed out of the crowd and shouted to Yuan Qiu: "You are back, you little disaster star. I don't know what happened outside." Something happened, even officials were recruited into the village. Let me tell you, no matter what trouble you cause, it has nothing to do with my family. From now on, our family will cut off all relations with you two little scourges. Don’t do it again in the future. I can’t bear to call me auntie, do you hear me?”
Yuan Qiu glanced at her coldly, his eyes were like the morning breeze in deep winter, so cold that it made one's heart tremble. She smiled and said, "I heard it, everyone has heard it too. From now on, I, Xia Yuanqiu, and my younger brother, Xia Yuanhao, have officially severed all ties with Xia Tieniu’s family. Even if we starve to death, we will never be a drag on you. In the same way, if I, Xia Yuanqiu, become rich one day, don’t come and recognize me. Honey, I can’t stand it either.”
Most of the people watching the fun were just watching the fun, and the matter had nothing to do with them. However, there was also a small group of people who felt that Lin's behavior was too unkind. Two orphaned children, and official servants came to visit. She didn't know what happened, so she hurriedly cut off the relationship. If it was something bad and there were no adults to support her, wouldn't this cut off the livelihood of the two children
Some people tried to persuade her, but how could Mrs. Lin listen? She wished Yuan Qiu would say this. In her opinion, Xia Yuanqiu could make a fortune just by growing vegetables. Don't laugh your ass off.
She just wanted to say this now, and she said it loudly so that the officials in the courtyard could hear it. No matter what happened, she would not care about the affairs of these two siblings.
Yuan Qiu no longer paid attention to Lin's proud face, turned around and pushed open the fence door and entered the courtyard. The two saber officers who were sitting on the wooden pier saw Yuan Qiu coming in and hurriedly got up. One of them The dark-faced man raised his hands towards Yuan Qiu and said, "Is this Miss Xia Yuanqiu?"
When the villagers outside the hospital took one look at the painting style, they immediately felt that the plot was developing differently than they imagined.
Ms. Lin stared at the courtyard with wide eyes, especially the expressions on the faces of the two poor men. She tried not to miss even a single bit.
Xia Yuanqiu returned the gift and said with a gentle smile: "I am Xia Yuanqiu. I wonder what the two eldest brothers want from Yuanqiu?"
The man grinned and said to Yuan Qiu: "I am on an errand under the magistrate. Today, I have been ordered by the magistrate to come to express my gratitude on behalf of the magistrate. This is a thank you gift from the magistrate to Miss Xia. I also hope that Miss Xia Don't refuse." The man took out a banknote with a denomination of one hundred taels from his arms. He moved very slowly when he took it out. The villagers outside the fence courtyard all took a look at it. Most of them were illiterate, but for one hundred taels, There are two or three characters that no one doesn’t recognize.
The sound of inhaling came and went. In the eyes of all the villagers, one hundred taels was a huge sum of money. It was the first time for most of them to see such a large denomination of banknotes in their lives, of course, including Lin.
She watched helplessly as the official officer put the one hundred taels of silver notes into Xia Yuanqiu's palm, and her eyes almost popped out of her eyes. If the official officer had not been present, she would have rushed forward desperately to grab it into her hands.
