Picked Up A Husband For Farming

318 Brother Is Here

Now, although Xu Jiangzhong’s exam was postponed because he had saved Bao Hongyi, because he had taken this opportunity to deal with Xu Qing, he had been given a government job by Ao Heng. Not only that, but Ao Heng had also arranged for him to take up an official position in the capital.

Xu Qing didn’t need to think to know that Ao Heng wanted to use Xu Jiangzhong to deal with them. However, she didn’t take Xu Jiangzhong seriously at all. Xu Qing only sneered and asked calmly, “What about the Xu family? How did they react?”

“They’re in the process of moving,” Xu Sizhi said. Now, the Xu family was full of cripples. They said that they were going to the capital to get treatment, but in reality, they wanted to ride on Xu Jiangzhong’s coattails to enjoy riches and glory.

“I hope they’ll be alive to enjoy riches and glory.” Xu Qing sneered. In the current state of the Ancient Kingdom, people could get killed at any time. Moreover, after a period of time, Ao Heng would no longer be the emperor. “How’s my family?” Xu Qing asked again. She was worried that her parents wouldn’t tell her even if anything happened to them.

Xu Sizhi immediately said, “Your parents are fine. Xu Huai knows that we’re back and is on his way.”

Xu Qing nodded. “Xu Huai doesn’t want to enter politics and wants to do business instead. After he comes this time, bring him along when you do business.”

“Of course. Don’t worry.” Xu Sizhi was very satisfied with his two brothers. He really treated himself as a member of the Xu family.

After talking about serious matters, Xu Qing suddenly smiled. “What about Xu Xiang? Isn’t she coming?”

Xu Sizhi rubbed his nose awkwardly. The last time he left, he knocked Xu Xiang unconscious and sent her back. He hoped that Xu Xiang didn’t still hold a grudge! Otherwise, he would be in danger because of this little girl’s increasingly skilled poison techniques! “She… is ignoring me now. Sister, you have to help me when the time comes!”

“At most, just treat it as being a practice target for her. It’s fine! If you get poisoned, I’ll definitely save you!” Xu Qing patted her chest as she promised.

Xu Sizhi was speechless.

…

A few days later, Xu Huai arrived, but Xu Xiang and Xu Zhi didn’t come.

Xu Sizhi felt lucky, yet was also a little sad about this. Could it be that Xu Xiang really held a grudge? She didn’t even come to see him?

Xu Huai saw through Xu Sizhi’s worry and said with a smile, “She said that she’s very angry and can’t be coaxed, so you should do as you see fit!”

Xu Sizhi suddenly felt relieved. Since she had even left him a message, it seemed that they could at least still communicate with each other!

After Xu Huai finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qing dubiously. “Sister, has Xu Jiangzhong really become an official? That’s impossible. We’ve seen his teacher and classmates. They all say that he… isn’t a very knowledgeable person…” Xu Huai was Xu Qing’s oldest brother. He was almost 15 years old this year and was a mature child. However, he didn’t want to call Xu Jiangzhong uncle. It was obvious that he resented the Xu family.

“It’s nothing. Someone wants to use him to cause trouble, so he gave him a small official position. There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Xu Qing said.

“It’s not that I’m afraid of him, but I feel that if Xu Jiangzhong really becomes an official, the Xu family will be restless again. When the news of Xu Jiangzhong staying in the capital spread, the Xu family started to show off again. Xu Jiangzhong isn’t even a high-ranking official, but the Xu family is already throwing its weight around!” When Xu Huai recalled that a few villagers in Anning Village who had helped their family were warned by the Xu family, he was furious. Although he had brought his parents around to return the favor, he still felt aggrieved.

Xu Qing said, “Xu Huai, remember not to be too arrogant. As for them, they will suffer retribution.”

“I know. Don’t worry, I can control my emotions.” Xu Huai nodded repeatedly. He definitely wouldn’t lose his rationality over anger.

Xu Qing nodded in relief. At this moment, Qiao Yanhui returned. He looked at Xu Huai calmly as he said, “You’re here.”

“Yes, Brother-in-law!” Xu Huai was still somewhat intimidated by Qiao Yanhui. Ever since Qiao Yanhui regained his memories, he felt afraid every time he saw Qiao Yanhui. Although he was his brother-in-law, Qiao Yanhui was still very intimidating.

When Qiao Yanhui heard this address of “brother-in-law”, he was in a good mood and became more amiable to Xu Huai.

However, Xu Huai was even more afraid. A man who was serious moments ago suddenly smiling at him was quite terrifying.

Seeing this, Xu Qing arranged for Xu Huai to rest first.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qiao Yanhui pulled Xu Qing into his arms and asked, “When are you going to treat Ao Jie again?” He really wanted to kill Ao Heng now!

“Anytime is fine.” Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, “But if I don’t know the reason, it’ll be a little troublesome…”
