Chapter 57: It's really a pity

The Town Chief was closing his eyes and resting at home. Hearing that Yuan Jiaqi wanted to sever the kinship and asked him to be a witness, he was angered into laughter.

Recently, one thing after another, all revolved around Lady Qiao. She severed the kinship, and the husband she married also severed the kinship with his family.

It's really not one family, not entering one door.

Alright, do good to the end, send Buddha to the sky. But it's just a family without foundation, what does it matter if he offends them?

So Money Town Chief acted as a witness, wrote the kinship severance letter on the spot, both sides pressed their fingerprints, and the witness pressed his fingerprint.

Yuan's father reached out. "Bring it?"

Yuan Jiaqi knew this day would come, so he prepared early. The silver was in his bosom. He didn't give it to Yuan's father, but gave it to Money Town Chief.

"My Lord, please take a look."

Money Town Chief looked at it, then handed it to Yuan's father.

"Looking at your clothes, it's not much. Why are you so obsessed with money? Who doesn't hope for their children to be good?"

"My Lord, every family has a scripture that is hard to recite."

"Mm, your family's scripture is the money scripture."

The onlookers all laughed. The Yuan family who got the silver left. I don't know if they would go back and remove Yuan Jiaqi from the clan. Anyway, they got the money, and the future life would be much quieter.

The crowd dispersed. Yuan Jiaqi handed the kinship severance letter to the Town Chief with both hands. "Trouble your old man to help me file a case at the county government office. From now on, I won't be a member of the Yuan family."

"Live a good life with Lady Qiao in the future. She is a good one. You must cherish the blessing."

"Yes, My Lord!"

Qiao Mai left when the kinship severance letter was written. She had to go home to wrap dumplings, and by the way, make a few dishes to celebrate.

She was also happy for Brother Yuan. Finally, he got rid of the blood-sucking parents, which was worth celebrating.

When Yuan Jiaqi returned home, Qiao Mai had almost finished chopping the meat filling.

Seeing him silently enter the kitchen, he rudely hugged Qiao Mai from behind.

"Thank you. I finally got rid of the Yuan family. Four years, without you, I wouldn't know how to get rid of them until now."

"That someone, you release your hand first. I have a knife in my hand." Behind it was almost saying, be careful I'll give you a knife.

"Sorry, sorry, Yuan was too happy."

"Eat more when you're happy."

Just as Qiao Mai was adjusting the filling, Shopkeeper Lu rushed into the courtyard.

"Sister, sister?"

Qiao Mai came out of the kitchen, and Shopkeeper Lu came up and roared.

"Such a big thing, why didn't you say a word?"

Qiao Mai hurriedly covered her mouth and pulled her into her bedroom.

"Shh, lower your voice. I also changed my mind temporarily."

"What exactly happened?"

So Qiao Mai told about Yuan Jiaqi being forced by his family to marry. Shopkeeper Lu was so angry she hit her arm.

"This is too rash. How can a lifelong event be treated as child's play?"

"Saving a life is immeasurable merit, not to mention two lives. Seeing them, I thought of the scene where I struggled in the Tian family and wanted to leave. Besides, I don't plan to remarry in the future. Being able to save their father and son can be considered that I haven't lived in vain."

Shopkeeper Lu hugged her in her arms with heartache. "Good sister, your heart is too soft. But this Young Master Yuan looks not bad. Although you are fake husband and wife, you are going to live together. Give each other a chance, okay?"

"We'll see when the time comes. I don't have this mind now, and neither does he. We'll just live together."

"Sigh, it can only be like this now. It's really wronged you."

"Not wronged. There's one more person in the family, helping me do housework and take care of the children. I can eat a hot meal when I come back. How worry-free is that?"

"You, you really have a big heart. You don't know, when sister heard this news, my head was buzzing, and I didn't dare to believe it."

"Because it's fake, I didn't discuss it with sister, and acted on my own."

"Then we have to drink a wedding wine, right?"

Qiao Mai laughed out loud. "Wait until after the autumn harvest. When the weather gets cold, I'll get a hot pot, and everyone will come to eat?"

"Alright, I like that the most."

"I'm wrapping dumplings at noon. Stay and eat together?"

"No, I'm still busy over there. Hearing your news, I didn't even care about the guests and ran over. I have to go."

"Then Sister Lu, you go get busy. When I finish wrapping at noon, I'll let Fengyun send it to you."

"Alright."

Qiao Mai adjusted the filling and kneaded the dough. Everyone washed their hands clean and worked together to wrap dumplings. At this time, Chen Shi and her son arrived.

There was no class today. Knowing Yuan Jiaqi had something to do, she expressed understanding. Even if she didn't understand, there was no way. He didn't charge her tuition, and Chen Hao was just tagging along.

She heard about this and came to express congratulations, just staying to help wrap dumplings.

"I said you two had fate."

Qiao Shi smiled and didn't give too much explanation.

"It just so happens that Fengyun saved tuition. How good it is to have a man at home to help. We women, it's really bitter to bring children alone without someone to help."

"Then if you meet someone suitable, you find one too?"

"We'll see. Where is there someone so suitable?" Saying this, she even swept a glance at Yuan Jiaqi who was working.

Qiao Mai lowered her head to wrap dumplings and didn't see it. In fact, this Chen Shi had long had a good impression of Yuan Jiaqi, but she was several years older than him and was a widow, so she didn't have the courage to confess.

Didn't expect that in just a few days, Yuan Jiaqi actually walked together with Qiao Shi. It was really a pity.

Although Shopkeeper Lu didn't come to eat dumplings, after they were cooked, Qiao Mai still ran a trip personally and sent a large basin to their five people, enough for them to eat.

After returning, the whole family and Chen Shi and her son were waiting for her.

"The head of the family is finally back."

"Start. Meat dumplings must be eaten hot to be delicious."

The children buried their heads in eating, and Qiao Mai sighed while eating dumplings.

"From now on, my family will have three little men."

Chuan'er stared with big eyes, his eyes rolling around while eating.

"Auntie, can I live at your house from now on?"

"Yes, moving over tonight is fine, as long as you can tidy up the room."

Chuan'er hurriedly looked at Yuan Jiaqi. "Father, can I? I want to live at Auntie's house."

Chen Shi smiled. "Of course you can. From now on, your father and your aunt are husband and wife. You don't have to call her aunt anymore, you have to call her mother."

Chuan'er blinked his big eyes. "Really?"

"Of course."

"I like this aunt, she is mother."

Qiao Mai smiled. "If you aren't used to it, just call her aunt first, and change it later, no rush."

"No, no, I like auntie. Auntie is just like mother. Mother! Mother!"

Qiao Mai was actually blushed by him. "Alright, hurry up and eat!"

Chen Shi and her son saw such a situation and didn't stay any longer. After eating their fill, they left.

After eating, Fengyun and the three cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and Yuan Jiaqi took Qiao Mai to the east wing room.

"The quails are all in the west wing room. I moved them to a room, vacated three rooms, and put the furniture back in place. The kang has also been cleaned up."

"Then move over today?"

"Alright, I'll go pack my luggage. You go to the west wing room and take a look. If you aren't satisfied, I'll change it tomorrow."

One went back to move things, and one went to the west wing room.

It wasn't completely dark yet, she could still see inside. She saw a large shelf with large boxes neatly arranged. Walking closer, the quails were fine inside, with straw spread underneath, clean and tidy.

A total of four layers, each layer could hold more than a hundred, not crowded at all.

This kid is capable, has some skills. He could even think of this, too good at saving space.

Not bad, really underestimated him. The scholar is useless, didn't expect this scholar to be really useful.

Picked up two small bargains, this time picked up a big bargain. His potential needs to be developed.

When Yuan Jiaqi returned, he carried a large bag and had nothing else.

Looking at Qiao Mai eating fruit in the courtyard with the three children, his heart felt full, a kind of comfort that couldn't be said.

"Father, come and eat fruit quickly."

"You eat, Father will come after making the bed."

Qiao Mai thought of Ling'er in the space and said to the two sons, "Feng'er, Yun'er, don't call him teacher in the future, call him father, understand?"

"Yes, Mother,"

"Mm, I'm tired, I'll go back to the room to rest first. Bolt the courtyard gate, and go to rest in a while."

Qiao Mai entered the room, bolted the door, and entered the space. Ling'er was chewing her hand and playing at this time.
