Chapter 56: No one dares to bully you anymore

After the family finished breakfast, Yuan Jiaqi started getting busy. Qiao Mai sat on the door threshold, leaning against the door frame and watching him.

"Why aren't you setting up the stall today?" Yuan Jiaqi felt a bit guilty being stared at.

"I'm afraid your father and mother will smash my stall. I'd better save my energy, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my temper and beat them."

"Sorry, I've caused you trouble."

"Brother Yuan,"

"Mm?"

"If I take action against your father and mother, will you blame me?"

"No. Once I leave the Yuan family, I won't care how you take action. The grace of giving birth and raising has already been repaid when they wore me and Chuan'er's mother down."

"Tell me about your family affairs, so I can have a clue in my heart."

So Yuan Jiaqi told Qiao Mai in detail about his growth experience from childhood to adulthood.

Qiao Mai curled her lips. "Those who don't know would think you were picked up."

"In my father and mother's eyes, there is only money. There are five brothers in the family, and I am the most worn-down one. The older brothers are a little better."

"They don't have daughters. If they had daughters, they would have to sell them too?"

"Yes, quite a few granddaughters were sold by them. After selling them, they were still drinking the granddaughters' blood, similar to your father and mother."

"Shameless rascals. I didn't expect such a family to be able to raise a good melon like you."

"I also suspect I'm not their biological child, but the fact is I am their biological child. I can't help it. However, although I couldn't choose my birth, I can choose my future life. I must leave that home."

"It's not easy to handle. Don't look at how I severed the kinship; the Qiao family still comes to find me. Whenever there is a difficult matter, the first one they think of is me, wanting to suck my blood and eat my meat. If you are removed from the clan, it's fine if you don't have a good life. If you have a good life, look, they will definitely pounce on you crazily."

"That's why I want to marry into your house as a matrilocal husband. Just for this point, the Yuan family won't be embarrassed to stretch their hands too long. Plus, being removed from the clan, I can completely ignore them."

"You don't remarry, also because you are afraid your father and mother will wear another wife to death?"

"No, I really have no thoughts of marriage. I just want to raise Chuan'er, read more books in this life, know more things, and learn more things."

Qiao Mai closed her eyes, enjoying the sunlight.

"Where there is a will, there is a way. Life will get better and better in the future."

"This still has to thank you."

"You're welcome! I hope that one day, when you are flying high and prosperous, you will take care of my family."

It was rare to have a day off. She didn't want to do any work and just lazed in the sun like this, which was quite good.

At this time, the government officials should have arrived at Xinghua Village, right? Should have obtained the household registration at the Yuan family, right? The Yuan family didn't expect Yuan Jiaqi to have this move, right?

Must be furious, but didn't dare to flare up in front of the government officials, right?

Qiao Mai wanted to laugh just thinking about it. She liked watching such scenes.

It took half an hour to ride a horse from Yi County to Tianshui Town, and Xinghua Village was south of Tianshui Town, so the time was even shorter.

She closed her eyes and calculated. Before noon, the household registration should be delivered to the Town Chief, and those two old goods who sucked human blood should also arrive shortly after.

Looking at the sun, she carried a basket.

"I'm going to buy some vegetables. Fengyun, bolt the door. If I don't return, don't open it no matter who knocks."

"Yes, Mother."

Yuan Jiaqi stood up. "Lady Qiao, don't worry. I'll take responsibility for everything. Push it all to me. If they come to make trouble, I'll take it all on myself."

Qiao Mai turned around and looked at him, gave a light 'mm', and went out.

There were really many people selling vegetables at the stall in the morning, but there was nothing rare, just those few kinds.

Let's just wrap some dumplings to eat. It's been a while since I had them.

Just as she was about to go to the meat stall, she was called by the Town Chief's guard.

"Lady Qiao?"

"Yo, Guard Brother, has my household registration been handled?"

"Here, congratulations. From now on, you are a person with a husband, and no one dares to bully you anymore."

"Thank you, Guard Brother."

She took a corner of silver from her money bag and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

"Please drink."

"Thanks."

Qiao Mai opened the household registration, saw Yuan Jiaqi's name, and Yuan Haichuan's name, and laughed after seeing a big red stamp on it.

Now the family had added population, and it was a family of five. When her Ling'er came out of the space, it would be six, already a very large family.

With the money she earned from embroidery and setting up the stall, it was enough to support a whole family without problems.

She couldn't give luxury and wealth, but a well-off and comfortable life was still possible.

Arriving at the meat stall, she picked the lean meat and bought two catties, bought a bundle of leeks, and didn't buy anything else. The family didn't lack anything.

Just as she walked to the door of her house, she saw the courtyard of the neighbor on the right making a scene. She hurriedly knocked open her own courtyard gate.

"Fengyun, where is the teacher?"

"Hearing movement over there, he went over. Chuan'er is here."

"You watch him well, don't let him come out."

"Yes, Mother!"

Qiao Mai put down the things and came to the gate of the big courtyard. At a glance, she saw the two old goods from last time making a scene with Yuan Jiaqi.

"You white-eyed wolf, you actually dared to find government officials to go home and move the household registration. You're really something! I really misjudged you."

"I just didn't want to marry the one you arranged."

"What's wrong with what we arranged? People have money and power, and the dowry they brought is also generous."

"But I don't like it."

"You didn't like the last one either, didn't you marry and have a child just the same?"

"Now I am already someone's matrilocal husband. You guys look at it and handle it."

Slap, a slap, crisply slapped on his face. Yuan Jiaqi gave a cold laugh.

"It's too late to say anything. You'd better admit it. It's meaningless to make trouble anymore."

Yuan's father squatted on one side. He raised his head and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being removed from the clan?"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

"You unfilial son!"

"If I weren't unfilial, I would be sucked dry by you. I don't know if we brothers are your biological children. You say you saved so much money, are you trying to buy a golden nanmu coffin for yourself or what? You bully the small ones in the family, and you wear down the big ones. Are you still human?"

"Humph, don't think that just because you've read a little book, you can blame your parents. We gave birth to you, so you have to listen to us. Hurry up and say, where is the family you married into? We'll go find her."

Qiao Mai looked at this unreasonable couple, suspecting if they were possessed by evil ghosts.

Yuan Jiaqi gave a hum. "A divorced woman who sets up a stall."

"What, actually a woman who sets up a stall?"

"Right, she is still setting up a stall for others, now working as a servant to pay off debts."

"You really make me angry to death. Oh my, old man, this life can't be lived. Leaving a good girl and not wanting her, wanting a divorced woman."

Qiao Mai: What's wrong with a divorced woman? Can a divorced woman do double-sided embroidery? Can she? Does a divorced woman have space? Does she?

Can a divorced woman earn money? Can she? Can a divorced woman kill? Does she dare?

"Hurry up and find her, let her write a divorce letter. This life can't be lived, absolutely can't be lived."

"But I just want to live with her, and I will never leave her for a lifetime."

"You, you,"

"Alright, stop making noise, don't let people see a joke."

When was Qiao's father also playing the white face, and his wife singing the red face?

As long as Yuan Jiaqi wasn't in danger, Qiao Mai wouldn't take action. It just so happened that the neighbors all came to watch the fun, so she just acted as a watcher.

"You aren't just wanting silver? Say a number. We'll sever the kinship. If you are willing, go back and be removed from the clan. I don't care. Anyway, I won't go back to that Yuan family."

Yuan Xushi came to Yuan's father. "Old man, what to do? This little beast won't go home anyway. We can't grasp him. Why not ask for some money and hold it in our hands?"

Yuan's father raised his head and thought for a while.

"Alright, since you have made up your mind, then sever the kinship. One hundred taels of silver, just as repaying the grace of birth and raising."

"Can. Let's go to the Town Chief's house. Your son doesn't trust others. Please ask the Town Chief, his old man, to be a witness."

"Where is the silver?"

"After severing the kinship, I will naturally offer it."

This old couple was originally aiming for money. Since the goal had been achieved, they had nothing to make trouble about.
