Chapter 805 (1/2)

Xia'er pursed her lips and said half aloud, ”the master is laughing. How can the father and brother of the slave be great heroes? They are just deserters.”

When Xia'er was sold into the house, she only thought she was poor and could not live. Later, she learned that her father and brother went to the battlefield and died unfortunately. Her mother followed because of excessive grief and anger, leaving Xia'er nowhere to go and adopted by her uncle. As a result, the uncle had no conscience. He sold Xia'er and ran away with the silver.

It was later mentioned that Xia Er slipped his tongue, which was asked by Chu Zhi.

Xia'er didn't elaborate at that time, but now he says: ”They had been there for five years. When the army was victorious, the maidservant and her mother went to look outside the city gate, but they didn't wait for the maidservant's father and brother. Later, it was heard that only the soldiers who had made great achievements would wander the streets, and the rest would go straight back to the barracks and visit their relatives one after another in three days. We waited for ten days, but we didn't wait until our father and brother came back, so we went to the government office to ask, but the government office said my father and brother It's a deserter, and I don't know how this spread. Everyone knows, only we don't know. Deserter... ”

Xia'er smiled with bitterness and depression: ”although deserters are not as good as traitors, they are not much worse...”

Since then, as soon as people in the village saw Xia er's mother and daughter, they yelled, threw vegetable leaves and soil, and some people came to the door to deliberately humiliate them. The villains in the village opened the door in the middle of the night to humiliate their mother and daughter, so they went out to buy rations, but no one sold them. Xia's mother insisted that Xia's father was not a deserter. Xia's father was honest, loyal, warm-hearted and used to be at home When I was a farmer, I often helped one family and another. How could such a good farmer be a deserter? There must be a misunderstanding!

But no one believes it.

After all, it was said by the officials themselves that the military Lord handled it himself. How can it be false?

Xia's mother couldn't accept the blow. With one mouthful of saliva in the village, Xia's mother and daughter stepped on the soles of their feet. Xia's mother was depressed and went soon.

After Xia's mother went, she left Xia'er alone. The chief of the family made the decision to send Xia'er to her uncle's house. However, such a disgraceful thing happened in the Xia family, and no one was willing to take her in. The uncle simply sold Xia'er, got some money and saved some money for his son to ask for his daughter-in-law in the future.

Later, Xia'er met Chu Zhi.

”Do you believe that?” Chu Zhi asked, ”do you believe that your father is a deserter?”
