HCB Chapter 279: Exiled to Zhuangzi
Chapter 279: Exiled to Zhuangzi
"There is no future. We have a farm in Chengyang County. You can go to the farm and come back after a while." Si Wei Zhong said it in a calm tone, as if he was talking about something very normal.
Wang Qiuhe and Si Chengyi who were present suddenly felt as if they were struck by lightning. Only those who had committed serious mistakes in the family would be sent to the manor.
And generally, few people can come back, so his father has given up on him. Regardless of his fear and pain in his body, Si Chengyi knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Si Wei Zhong repeatedly.
At this time, Tang Xiuwen came in leisurely, twisting her fat buttocks. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Wang Qiuhuo standing in a daze in the corner, and Si Chengyi kowtowing on the bed.
Just now the little maid came to report that Si Wei Zhong was beating Wang Qiu He. She thought it was a conflict between the two of them, so she came a little late on purpose.
This daughter-in-law has always been disliked by her own son. Being taught a lesson by her own son is just what she wants, so she decides to beat her for a while longer.
I didn't expect Si Chengyi was involved in this matter. If I had known, I would have come here earlier. My daughter-in-law is not a good person, but my grandson is my own. Seeing my grandson's appearance, I felt heartbroken.
"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. Why did you beat him up like this?" Tang Xiuwen didn't understand what was going on. She thought that Si Chengyi's injuries were all caused by Si Wei Zhong, and glared at him in reproach.
Seeing Tang Xiuwen coming, Si Chengyi seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He ran to the bed crying and knelt down in front of Tang Xiuwen: "Grandma, please beg for me, don't let my father send me to the manor, I don't want to go, I won't go"
Tang Xiuwen was shocked by his words. What on earth had happened? Her son was so angry that he wanted to send Si Chengyi to the manor.
The conditions of that manor are not good enough. It is impossible for her grandson to go there. It is definitely not possible.
"Wei Zhong, Chengyi is just a child. Even if he made some mistakes, they were just minor fights. You have said it and you have beaten him. Let's just let it go." As he said this, he wanted to pull up Si Chengyi who was kneeling on the ground.
But no matter what she did, Si Chengyi knelt on the ground without moving. How could an old woman like her pull up an adult man?
"Aunt, that's because you don't know what he has done." Si Wei Zhong said gritting his teeth.
"What else can a child do? Give your aunt some face and let's forget about this matter." Tang Xiuwen continued to persuade.
"This beast swindled eight hundred taels of silver from Wang Qiuhuo, and asked you for five hundred taels. He added his own money and also borrowed from friends, hoping to collect three thousand taels of silver to lend to Li Xiaoxiao." Si Wei Zhong paused before continuing.
"In the end, I didn't have enough silver. I went out to rob someone's silver shop last night, but was caught on the spot and almost beaten to death. I sent him to the government early in the morning. I took a lot of effort to get him out. Do you think this is a small matter?"
Tang Xiuwen was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Si Chengyi in disbelief as he lowered his head and remained silent. It was hard to imagine that he could do such a thing.
She remembered clearly how she and Si Wei Zhong had sold Li Xiaoxiao's mother. Ever since that bitch came back, the old lady had been glaring at her, and Li Xiaoxiao had become a threat to her family's business.
He didn't expect that his own grandson would be so eager to give money to Li Xiaoxiao and lend it to her so that he could use it to deal with Wei Zhong?
"Chengyi, tell me what you are thinking." Among the two grandsons, Tang Xiuwen prefers this grandson more, thinking that he has some unspeakable secrets.
"I,..." Si Chengyi didn't know whether he should say what was in his mind.
"Tell me what you want. Grandmother will take care of anything for you." Seeing his embarrassment, Tang Xiuwen became more certain of her thoughts. It must be that bitch Li Xiaoxiao who threatened him.
Si Chengyi made up his mind and had to tell it out. What if he was really exiled to the manor, wouldn't his life be over? That kind of place is not a place for human beings to stay.
He is not the only son in the family. If he passes away, all the things in the house, including the shops and land deeds, will belong to Si Chengren. He cannot agree to this at all.
"I like Li Xiaoxiao and want to marry her. Then all her things will belong to our family, so I am willing to lend her the money."
Except for Si Chengyi, the three people present were stunned. After all this time, he actually wanted to marry Li Xiaoxiao. How could he let Li Xiaoxiao enter his house?
Their family and Li Xiaoxiao's family are old enemies, and they will be entangled with each other for their entire lives. No matter who they marry, it is impossible for them to marry her.
"Just give up on this idea. As long as I'm alive, you can't marry Li Xiaoxiao, unless you leave this family. Then I won't have a son like you, and you won't have a father like me." Si Wei Zhong almost laughed out of anger.
After going around in circles, it turns out that Si Chengyi was actually bewitched by this incident. It was indeed a beauty that brought disaster upon herself, and she had actually bewitched her son to the point of being confused. His hatred for Li Xiaoxiao deepened even more.
"Chengyi, your father is right. I don't agree with Li Xiaoxiao entering our family. How can she, a child of a peasant family, be worthy of living in our mansion? Even if she is somewhat pretty, it won't work."
Tang Xiuwen was also shocked. What happened that year had already happened. Even if she agreed, Li Xiaoxiao's mother would not agree to her marrying in. So she had to stop Si Chengyi's thoughts as soon as possible.
"My son, listen to your father. Don't have any entanglement with her in the future. That girl is very difficult to deal with. You can't control her at all." Wang Qiuhuo finally understood her son's thoughts now.
Si Chengyi had told her before that he wanted to marry Li Xiaoxiao, but she rejected it at that time. Unexpectedly, after so much time, her son still missed her and caused such a thing.
Being sent to the government office for robbing a silver shop is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. If someone with ulterior motives finds out and spreads rumors, then their whole family will be in danger.
In the court, there are so many intrigues and deceptions that it is impossible to guard against them. No wonder Si Wei Zhong was so angry.
"I understand. I will never have such thoughts again. I will stay away from her when I see her. I beg my father to forgive me this time." Seeing the attitudes of the three of them, Si Chengyi knew that there was no hope of marrying Li Xiaoxiao. He admitted his mistake and made a promise, hoping that Si Wei Zhong would forgive him because of his sincere repentance.
"Hmph, the mistake you made cannot be solved with a simple forgiveness. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. You will go to the manor in Chengyang County in ten days. As for when you will come back, I will inform you then."
