Chapter 946: The Young Marquis's Broken-Engagement Wife (Extra 4)
A Few Things About the Second Miss of the Xu Family (Part 3)
When the child was two years old, Huier wanted to ask Huo Xu if they could be a real couple and she was willing to give birth to a child for him.
but
"Hui'er, the child is already so old, what are your plans?" Huo Xu spoke before her. "If you want to divorce, that's fine too. I remember you've been saving money these years. Is it enough for the redemption fee?"
When the ransom was suddenly mentioned, Huier was stunned.
After all, in the years since she was "married" to Huo Xu, he had never calculated the money with her. Now that he suddenly asked this question, Hui'er was still very confused.
Huo Xu pretended not to notice and continued, "During this period, the Marquis' Mansion will deal with the indentures of a number of servants. We originally planned to let them leave the mansion, so not only the elderly can leave directly,
Someone your age can also redeem themselves, and the price is still very reasonable, but in your current situation you may have to pay two installments, after all, you also need to buy back the child's indenture."
Huo Xu and Hui'er were both slaves, and their "children" were house-born children, so they were slaves from birth.
"I don't have much money. I don't know if it's enough?" Hui'er said worriedly while holding the child.
As she spoke, she looked at Huo Shi, thinking that he might help her.
In fact, Huo Xu intended to help her, but his method was: "I do have some spare money. If you don't have enough, I can lend you some. In addition, I have found a job for you. You can go to the big kitchen to help. You can take care of the children and the working hours are not long.
The wages won't be too high. Regardless of whether you can repay the money I lend you, you should always have some money to rely on."
At this point, Hui'er completely understood what Huo Xu meant - he helped her simply because he couldn't bear to see her die, and he had no other feelings for her.
After that, Huier's attitude gradually returned to the "not very familiar" look she had when they first got married.
Huo Xu was relieved because of this. Although he might not see his sweetheart again in this life, he had no intention of accepting anyone else.
However, a long time later, Huo Xu was glad for his persistence, because people who are destined to be together will meet again, know each other, and stay together.
Hui'er, who followed her "father-in-law" Xu Hong to Youcheng, finally understood the reason why Huo Xu kept his distance from her all these years. It was not what she imagined at all - he was noble in the early days, but stingy and calculating in the later days.
It’s all because there is someone in Huo Xu’s heart who can never be replaced.
After seeing how talkative Huo Xu was to the shopkeeper of Luoyue after changing his name to Xu Jia, Hui'er felt that she had never seen through Huo Xu at all over the years.
Fortunately, they both had new identities, so they didn't even have to go through the divorce process. And because the child was still young, it was also very smooth for them to change their name to call Xu Jia "uncle".
Today, Xu Hui is the second daughter of the Xu family. Although she is a widow with a child, she is good-looking and is from the capital.
Her eldest sister-in-law is Luoyue, the shopkeeper of Anyuetang, who has a close relationship with the Shangguan family.
In this secluded city where it is fashionable for widows to remarry, she has become a popular candidate for many people to marry.
"Hui'er, it's okay if you don't want to get married!" Xu Jia said generously, "Your sister-in-law said that you are good at needlework and embroidery. If you are willing, we can open a clothing store for you. Business will be good in Youcheng."
This is not bad. There are many military households in Youcheng, and some soldiers whose families are not around. Opening a sewing and mending clothing shop is a good choice.
Looking at her elder brother, whose face was flushed and who was talking to her endlessly about the situation in Youcheng, Xu Hui felt as if she were in another world.
It’s not that Huo Xu was bad before, it’s just that Xu Jia is very happy now.
especially
"Brother, I think you're much more generous than before!" Xu Hui couldn't help but tease, "Before, you would always settle the score with me, but now you're willing to open a shop for me."
"What are you talking about? I'm still very stingy." Xu Jia covered his purse with his hands. "It was your sister-in-law who opened the shop for you, not me. My monthly salary is also directly collected by her. I only have a little pocket money."
It sounded like a complaint, but there was a satisfaction in Xu Jia's eyes that he had never seen before in the Marquis' Mansion in the capital.
The clothing store opened half a month later.
The house was bought now, with shops in front and a yard in the back. The front is used for business and the back is used for living. The title deed is directly written in Xu Hui's name.
From a maid who depended on others for her livelihood and had no control over her life and death, to the shop owner who has transformed herself, Xu Hui is very content and runs the shop with extra care.
She was still a grateful person. Although she knew that Xu Hong and Xu Jia did not need her money, she still divided 30% of the monthly profit into two parts and gave them both.
Even if the other party refuses to accept it, she will exchange it for something else and give it to them.
This way they get along well.
When Xu Hui's son was twelve years old, she finally remarried. The man she married was a military doctor whose wife had died, and he was also her son's mentor.
On the day of her wedding, she took her husband to pay her respects to her father Xu Hong, her brother and sister-in-law Xu Jia, and Luo Yue.
The first half of her life was difficult, but fortunately, she was blessed by God and cared for by noble people in the second half of her life, and finally lived a happy and fulfilling life.
