Chapter 427 Parenting
Hua Jingyao and Shen Xiao walked out of the Qiao family's main house. The house was well built, with green tiles and white walls, and a pomegranate tree planted in the yard. Although it was bare, from the thick trunk, you can imagine that the July trier flowers are better than fire.
This house was built by Dong Xiang. The reason why Dong Xiang built this house was not because the Qiao family was his uncle's house, but because of Xiao Qiao's family.
Hua Jingyao thought angrily, did Dong Xiang know that the Qiao family gave Xiao Qiao to Lao Li to save the five hundred taels of silver?
I think I don’t know. If he knew, would he still be willing to support this couple?
At this time, a middle-aged man came in from outside, glanced at Chen Xiao and Hua Jingyao, and shouted to the room: "Uncle, something big happened, and someone dug up the grave of the second cousin!"
Hua Jingyao and Shen Xiao looked at each other, and it can be judged by the name of this man that this is the servant Dong Xiang stayed here to take care of the two elders of the Qiao family.
Qiao Hushi came out of the house and saw Chen Xiao and Hua Jingyao, and was a little surprised why they hadn't left yet.
The man quickly repeated: "Uncle, the second cousin's grave was dug by the government officials. Master Li Zheng said he couldn't control it, so you can go and have a look."
Qiao Husband's eyes widened in disbelief at first, and then scolded the man in a muffled voice: "Mr. Li Zheng can't even care, let alone I can't. Go back and ask the people in the government, how much can they pay if they dig graves or pay for money?"
The man was stunned and wanted to say something, but he just sighed. This was not the first time he encountered this situation. The man turned around and left.
Qiao looked honestly at Chen Xiao and Hua Jingyao who were still in the yard and asked, "Who are you? I asked me that there are so many women, why haven't you left yet?"
This is a guess that they were with the grave digger.
Hua Jingyao couldn't help it and asked coldly: "That's your daughter's grave. It was dug up in broad daylight, so you won't stop it?"
"What is your lady saying? It was dug by the government officials. Master Li Zheng didn't care. Can I care? Besides, that dead girl is not my biological son, it's embarrassing. I wouldn't recognize her for a long time. If it weren't for my nephew's insistence on establishing a tomb, I wouldn't let her bury her there."
Qiao was honest and honest, and Hua Jingyao was so angry that she wanted to beat him to death.
"If she wasn't your daughter, could you live in such a good house? Will Dong Xiang repair the house for your uncle?" Hua Jingyao sarcastically.
"What's this? This is what my family deserves. In order to buy that dead girl, I let the kidnapped two taels of silver. Two taels of silver. I have also raised her for more than ten years. How much food did I eat in my family?" Qiao Husband was not honest at this moment, and the blue veins on his neck were popping up.
Hua Jingyao became even more angry. She said, "Dong Xiang pretended to be the owner of the house and sold Lao Li's house and shop, and used that money to build a big house for you. The money for building a big house is stolen money, so your big house is also a stolen stolen. After the case is tried, the house will be confiscated. You can't do it if you want to move away at that time!"
After saying that, Hua Jingyao turned around and walked outside. Qiao's honest shout came from behind: "What a thief, I don't know. I won't move. This is my room, it's mine!"
After leaving the Qiao family, Chen Xiao caught up with Hua Jingyao: "He should have taken it seriously. It's time for him to have a good sleep next time, so don't be angry."
Mao Gui'er once said that Lao Li's house was sold quite cheaply, and Dong Xiang did not lack that little money. The reason why he sold Lao Li's house was to cover up the news of Lao Li's death, and to vent his anger.
Although Dong Xiang is not a rich man, he is also a small man. The yamen cannot confirm that the Qiao family's house is built with stolen silver, so what Hua Jingyao said was just to make trouble for the two elders of the Qiao family.
Hua Jingyao gritted her teeth: "Although Lao Li is abominable, the Qiao family is not a good thing. If they can think about their two daughters, they will not sell them again and again."
But such a person cannot be punished.
Just like Mrs. Cai, from the emperor to the people, the entire capital knew that she killed her granddaughter, but she could only take her imperial edict. She was also an old lady in the Qingyuan Bo Mansion. If it were not for Mrs. Lu's mansion, Mrs. Cai would still be enjoying her old age.
Chen Xiao advised: "There are only a few such parents."
He was far away from his parents when he was in his infancy. Although he had never been happy, he could always feel his father's care for him. He had no shortage of everything his noble children should have. In Shen Xiao's eyes, Hua Jingyao was like this, so in the face of Hua Jingyao's anger, he could not think of more words to comfort him.
Hua Jingyao said, "Have you heard of the baby tower?"
"Baby Tower?" Chen Xiao shook his head.
"The baby tower is a place to throw children. There is a small hole on one side of the tower about one person high. The hole can only accommodate a baby thrown in. Some children die of illness, while others are not dead. They are just sick. The parents don't want to waste money for treatment, so they throw it into the baby tower. Anyway, parents can still reborn. The location of that small hole is about as high as me, and the children thrown into the tower can't even climb out. In addition to the sick children, there are more girls. When they give birth to children, they see that they are girls. The baby is thrown into the tower, and it can still be reborn anyway. There are often crying from the tower. They cry until they cry without strength until they starve to death. Don’t think that only poor families will throw children into the tower, and rich families will throw them, and throw them away. Anyway, they can still be reborn. If the wife cannot give birth to a wife, she can buy her concubine and continue to give birth. If the son who has not given birth to a man in his family can still be adopted in the clan, the adopted son is also a son, but the biological daughter can only be thrown into the baby tower."
Hua Jingyao clenched her fists. She had seen the baby tower with her own eyes in her previous life and also heard the crying from the baby tower with her own ears. She wanted to pull the child out of the hole, but she couldn't reach it. She asked Shi Ding to smash the baby tower with a stone. The local villagers discovered it. Hundreds of people were holding hoes and shovels, and they ran away in panic.
"The local government knows this, and the parents know it, but they don't care, and they can't care, because it is their parents who throw the children into the baby tower. And we know it, and we can't care. There is no such thing in the law, there is no."
After Hua Jingyao finished speaking, she strided towards the threshing ground.
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment and chased after him.
The villagers on the threshing farm have scattered, some have received silver rewards, and some have returned home to organize the whole family to think of clues.
Seeing Hua Jingyao, Shi Jia greeted him: "Girl, I asked something about it."
"Tell me." Hua Jingyao walked towards the entrance of the village.
Shi Jia followed Hua Jingyao one step away and said, "The one who received the reward was Qiao Xingfu's wife. Qiao Xingfu's wife said that about a month after the accident between Da Qiao, her mother's brothers took her back to her mother's house, saying that she heard the peddler in their village said that he was uneasy on the road, and said that he saw seven or eight men in the dilapidated temple with his own eyes... Qiao Xingfu's wife said that the peddler often goes to the village of her mother's house. His surname is Xu, and he calls him Xu Dalang."
