Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 248 Sending Two Families Away

Boss Xi choked, he was confessing himself.

Everyone else's eyes widened. They didn't expect that the Xi family was not really a member of the Xi family.

Xi Lao Er asked anxiously, "Brother, this is true."

The other members of the Xi family also gathered around Boss Xi and asked the same question.

Boss Xi lowered his head in frustration, and didn't say anything at first, but he couldn't stand everyone's relentless pursuit. In the end, he could only nod helplessly.

"Hey, brother, why didn't you tell us?" Xi Xiaomei asked dissatisfiedly.

Boss Xi said unhappily, "My parents only told me this when they passed away. They said that my eldest sister has been in our family for decades and is a member of the Xi family. It's enough for me to know this. There's no need to let everyone know."

"Then parents..."

What they wanted to ask was how Xi came to the Xi family and whether their parents had kidnapped her.

But this is obviously not something I can ask, so I can only stop asking.

Yun Xi said, "You came at the right time. My mother still has a token in your hands. If you take it out and return it to my mother, we will not pursue the crime of being an accomplice for the sake of the Xi family raising my mother."

Everyone looked at Boss Xi again. He was the only one who knew about this, so any token must be in his hands.

Boss Xi lowered his head, not wanting to take it out. But everyone knew about the token, so he had to take it out. Otherwise, he might really go to jail.

He came here to recognize his relatives, thinking that he would be able to move forward with great success from then on. However, he did not expect that in the end, the relatives could not be recognized at all, and he was almost identified as an accomplice of human traffickers.

I was panicking because I knew I couldn't keep the blanket in my hand. But I was also unwilling to come back empty-handed after such a long journey.

He said, "I am not an accomplice, and neither can my parents. If they were accomplices of the human traffickers, they would not have been able to raise my eldest sister to adulthood."

As he said this, he looked at Xi and said, "Big sister, you know how my parents treat you. They don't treat you as an outsider. Tell me yourself, right?"

Xi frowned and said nothing. Of course she knew how the two old people treated her. It would be a lie to say that they were not partial to her, but it was also true that they did not beat or scold her often, which was already very difficult for a country girl.

Also, they did not abandon her but raised her, so she must remember this kindness.

Xi Laoda continued, "Big sister, I brought the blanket you used when you were a child today. I can give it to you, but the second brother, the second sister, the youngest sister, and the whole family have come a long way to see you. The money we have on the road was robbed by the refugees. Now we are tired and hungry, and we don’t even have money to go back. Can you help us for the sake of our parents?"

The other members of the Xi family also looked at Xi with hope.

Yunxi, Xishi and other members of the Yun family all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. As long as they didn't stay in Yunjia Village and were willing to return to Xiemu County, it would be fine.

But we also know that we cannot let these people into the village. If we really let them in, it would be troublesome if they saw the good things in the village and didn't want to leave.

Xi said, "Okay, give me the things my parents left behind, and I'll ask Brother Qi to arrange for someone to send your family back."

Seeing Xi give in, the Xi family members were all delighted. They thought that since Xi had said so, she would definitely not let them go back empty-handed.

"Okay, we are all tired today. Can we go into the village to rest for a night and come back tomorrow?" asked Xi Laoer.

Yun Xi immediately refused, "No, the prince has said that people who are not from this village cannot come in and out casually."

Under the guise of the King of the South, I believe that neither the Xi family nor the Lin family would dare to make trouble and enter the village.

"Ah, this..."

Both the Xi family and the Lin family were very disappointed.

Yun Xi said: "I will arrange another place for you to stay for one night."

After a pause, she continued, "My mother doesn't care about the past, but that doesn't mean my grandparents won't pursue it. Even after so many years, they have never given up looking for my mother. If they knew you were the county magistrate, I wonder if they would come looking for you."

When the Xi family heard this, they were relieved and their worries became tense again. A group of people gathered together and chattered.

"Since you guys are busy, we decided not to bother you and will return today. But..."

Boss Xi said angrily, "We came here this time with all our savings and bought gifts for you all. But who knew that the refugees on the road were so arrogant and robbed us of everything we brought. We begged all the way here. Now we have to go back empty-handed. We have nothing at home and we can only wait to die."

As he spoke, the grown man even started to wipe away his tears. The others also followed suit.

Yun Xi sneered. It was true that they were robbed by the refugees, but she didn't believe that they were given money without any gifts.

But generally speaking, apart from the last time when the Xi family tried to take advantage of them and their siblings, the rest of the time they just distanced themselves from their family and didn't do anything else excessive.

As long as they don't act up, Yun Xi doesn't mind giving them some money to make sure they have enough food and clothing for the sake of the two elders of the Xi family.

"Since you are going back today, I will have someone arrange a carriage for you and arrange for someone to escort you home safely. As for the money you brought with you, I will also have the prince make up for it."

He still brought out Ying Tianchen to let them know that it was the Southern King who had money, not the Yun family. The money for the trip was not as much as one wanted, but depended on how much money the Southern King gave.

The Xi family was delighted and hurriedly told each other how much silver they had brought with them.

"We sold all our land and houses and got two...three hundred taels. Yun, Princess Nan, you have to ask the King of Nan to compensate me with three hundred taels." Xi Xiaomei shouted.

Others also shouted, "Our family has three hundred taels too."

"Our family has three hundred and fifty taels."

"Our family has three hundred and sixty taels."

Yun Xi laughed angrily, "Are you sure you remembered correctly? The King of Nan is always serious about his work. If you say so much, he will send someone to investigate."

The Xi family members smiled awkwardly and said nothing, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

Yun Xi said, "Take out my mother's things. I will give a total of 500 taels to the four families. 500 taels is more than enough to repay my grandparents for raising me. You can also sign a letter of severance, and the matter will be over. If my grandparents cause trouble for you in the future, my mother and I will help stop them."

500 taels is indeed a lot.

The four families could each get more than 100 taels. This was already a lot for a farmer's family. It was enough for the four families to live comfortably in the countryside.

The Xi family naturally knew this truth. They were also worried about being held accountable by the Mu family, so they finally agreed after some discussion.

By the way, the 500 taels of silver have been distributed, 150 taels each to the families of the eldest and second Xi brothers, and 100 taels each to the families of the two younger sisters.

Originally, the eldest and second Xi brothers only wanted to give each of their two sisters 50 taels, but the two sisters were not pushovers and would not agree. Anyway, they were not afraid of the Mu family looking for them, so they would not leave unless they were given 100 taels.

Boss Xi had no choice but to offer 100 taels per person.

Once the Xi family was sent away, it would be easier to deal with the Lin family.

There is no big grudge between her and the Xi family, and she still has the grace of raising her. If that family was not greedy, Yun Xi would not have to break off the relationship. If they were all honest and decent people, she would not mind helping them.

But people like them will only push their luck. As long as they know you are soft-hearted, they will stick to you like vampires and you can't get rid of them.

Giving them five hundred taels is already the most we can do.

As for the Lin family, their temperaments are completely different from those of the Xi family. The Yun family and the Lin family have grievances.

They divorced Yunfang and abused her, which the Yun family could not forgive.

And seeing that Lin had remarried, she even brought her new family with her. I really don't understand how they had the nerve to come here.

Yun Xi asked Yun Huaishan for his opinion, but Yun Huaishan had long lost any feelings for the Lin family and would never give them back the money. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let the village guards drive them away."

The Lin family members cried and screamed, and old lady Lin rolled on the ground.

"Let Yunfang and Yunzheng come out. They can't live such a good life now that they don't even care about their own mother."

The last second they were still secretly delighted, because the Xi family had received 500 taels of silver, and their family should also be able to get so much money, but who knew that the other party would open their mouths and drive them away.

Lin cried and shouted towards the village, "Zheng'er, come out and see mom. Mom has come a long way to see you, you can't be unfilial. You have a good life, but I am left to eat coarse food. Mom can't live any longer."

Yun Huaishan was so angry that he pointed at Lin with shaking hands, "You evil woman, you actually have the nerve to come to Zheng Ge'er, can you really not bear to see him live a peaceful life?"

Lin argued, "I am his mother, and I want him to live a good life more than anyone else. His grandmother, uncle and I missed him, so we came all the way to see him. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Do you miss him? If you really just wanted to see him, why would you bring so many insignificant people with you?"

Lin looked at the dark-skinned man and the people around him, and said hesitantly,

"Huaishan, I didn't want to, but they insisted on following me. If you don't like them, find someone to drive them away. If you let me come back, I promise to take good care of you, your son, and your father-in-law in the future.

Huaishan, please. They treat me badly, beat me at every turn, and don't give me enough food. I really can't live like this any longer. Can you please let me come back?"

Yun Huaishan's eyes widened. He didn't expect Lin to be so shameless. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Lin thought he was moved, so she wiped her dirty face with her sleeve and grinned.

"I knew you wanted me to come back too. How can a grown man endure life without a wife?"

Yun Huaishan's face turned pale. Who the hell wanted her to come back?

Lin's current husband's family also looked unhappy, looking at Lin, they wanted to eat her alive. But they knew whose territory this was, so they didn't dare to act rashly and could only endure it.

The Lin family was very happy that Lin could return to the Yun family, and Mrs. Lin stopped rolling on the ground. With a smile on her face, she asked Yun Huaishan to take Lin and them home quickly.

Aunt Bao, who was watching the fun from the side, burst out laughing, "Hey, Lin, don't you look at what you look like now? When you stand next to Boss Yun, do you look like his mother?"

"Hahahaha..." The crowd in the village burst into laughter.

Someone else echoed, "That's right. Let's not talk about the fact that you two are not a good match now. Besides, the eldest brother of the Yun family will be getting married in a few days. She is young, beautiful, literate and knows medicine. How could she want a divorced woman like you?"

Lin's eyes widened in disbelief and she questioned, "Yun Huaishan, is what they said true? Are you really going to remarry? Are you going to find a stepmother for Zheng Ge'er?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Yun Huaishan was very impatient.

"How can it have nothing to do with me? What if you marry me again? Besides, stepmothers are not good to children. What will you do with Zheng'er in the future?" Lin said with confidence.

The Lin family members also nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes."

Yun Huaishan was going crazy. How could Lin become like this? However, she used to have a lot of crooked ideas, but she was usually suppressed by herself and didn't dare to make trouble everywhere.

"Ms. Lin, please make it clear that I have divorced you. And you have remarried now. You have nothing to do with me anymore. You have no right to control whether I remarry or not. Yun Zheng is already grown up, and he doesn't need you to worry about him."

Lin wanted to make more trouble, but Yunxi’s patience had run out.

This Lin family once again refreshed her worldview today. It is impossible to reason with such a person. The whole family is crazy.

We can only use force against them.

Yun Xi didn't bother to be polite with them. "If you don't leave, I'll arrest you as a troublemaker."

Yunsheng agreed and gave a wink to the guards.

Immediately, all the guards standing by stepped forward and began to drive away the Lin family.

The Lin family wanted to roll on the ground and throw a tantrum again, but the guards simply pulled out the big knives they carried with them, put them to their necks and asked them if they would leave.

The Lin family had never seen such a scene before. They were so scared that they ran away tumbling.

Old Mrs. Lin, who was limp on the ground, had no strength to stand up. Seeing her group of unfilial descendants running away, she cried out in panic.

It was Yunsheng who yelled at the Lin family members who were running away, "Take the old man away as well."

The Lin family looked back and found that Mrs. Lin was still on the ground and had not caught up. They pushed and shoved for a long time but no one dared to move forward.

In the end, it was Lin, who had the least say, who was pushed out by them and asked to come back to support Old Lady Lin.

Lin ran back reluctantly, "Mom, get up quickly, let's go."

Old lady Lin's legs were so weak that her mind was filled with the big knife pressing against her neck. She had no strength in her legs or feet.

She slapped Lin and said, "You useless thing, can't you see that I can't get up? Hurry up and squat down and carry me."

Mrs. Lin squatted down with a wronged look on her face, and Mrs. Lin climbed on top of her. Mrs. Lin struggled for a long time before she was able to carry the man up on her back.

"Mom, why are your pants wet?"

Old Lady Lin slapped her on the back of the head again in anger, "Just shut up right there."

This time, maybe the old woman's strength had recovered, but her strength was much stronger than before. The hitting made Lin hiss and stagger, and scared the old woman Lin on his back so much that she screamed and slapped her several times on the head.

Everyone looked at the puddle of urine on the ground and shook their heads.

This Lin family member is really bored and has nothing to do, so they come here from far away to suffer.

When the Xi family saw what happened to the Lin family, they sighed and felt scared.

The Yun family really had no mercy at all. Those people who had just felt that 500 taels were too little were now glad that they agreed.

Otherwise, they will be the ones with the knife at their necks.
