Chapter 382: Withered Jujube Tree

People at the table were chatting while eating, and asked Qin Xiaoxiao a lot about Qiu Lie.

Qin Xiaoxiao liked this kind of warm and lively atmosphere. When she was relaxed, she chatted for a while and revealed the matter of "persuading" the two big tigers to retreat, which scared Mr. Qin and others' expressions.

When everyone calmed down, they all gave Qin Xiaoxiao a stern lesson, warning her that if she encounters something like this in the future, she must stay far away and not risk her own life.

Qin Xiaoxiao was extremely afraid of what the adults would say, so she raised three fingers and vowed repeatedly that it would not happen again, and then she barely calmed down the anger of the adults and saved her ears that were almost bombarded by Qin Shan's roar.

Worried that the adults would mention this matter again, she had to tell her that Emperor Yuan He had rewarded her with a marriage decree for saving the emperor's eldest grandson. She was so shocked that Mr. Qin and others did not respond for a long time.

"Oh my, with the marriage granted by the emperor, our smiling husband will definitely be the same." Zhao Cao'er was the first to react, clapped his hands with joy and showed his teeth: "Now brother and sister-in-law can rest assured!"

Having said that, she felt more and more that her son was a loser. If he could get the emperor's favor and marry him like his niece, she wouldn't have to worry so much and stay up all night.

Lin Qiuniang's eyes were red with excitement and she couldn't believe it: "Xiaoxiao, are you telling the truth? The emperor really promised to grant you a marriage?"

Qin Xiaoxiao held her hand and said with a smile: "Mom, it's true. If you don't believe it, if Brother Li comes one day, just ask him."

"Believe, believe, mother, believe!" Lin Qiuniang cried with joy, holding her daughter's hand tightly, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

It was such a great honor to be granted marriage by the emperor. Being the son-in-law of her Qin family didn't have to worry about being laughed at. In this way, she didn't have to worry about finding a good son-in-law and wronging her daughter.

"This... it is indeed a good thing to get a marriage from the emperor." Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao struggled for a while, then accepted the fact that their granddaughter had requested a marriage by herself, and swallowed back the words "unruly"

.

The emperor even gave his granddaughter the gift of marriage, which shows that she was not immoral in mentioning her marriage. No one would dare to laugh at her granddaughter even if the news spread outside.

As a father, Qin Shan became sour as soon as he was overjoyed: "Daughter, there's no rush to find a husband. With the emperor's gift of marriage, you don't have to worry about finding a good one. Take your time, take your time."

Pick, do you know?"

Even though he was recruiting a son-in-law, his daughter was still under his nose, and he still felt deeply reluctant to let go. The thought of another man taking his place and protecting his daughter for the rest of his life made him feel a sense of loss.

Born spontaneously.

"Dad, I'm still young, so of course I'm not in a hurry~" As expected of a considerate little cotton-padded jacket, Qin Xiaoxiao saw through Qin Shan's thoughts at a glance, lowered her head slightly and pretended to be shy: "It's good that mom and dad are not in a hurry."

"No hurry, no rush, dad!" Qin Shan said hurriedly, fearing that his daughter would misunderstand if he spoke too slowly.

This eager look made everyone happy.

Xue Ya was the only one at the table who didn't speak. Looking at Qin Xiaoxiao who was smiling sweetly, she couldn't help but think of her own troubles, and for a moment she felt depressed and lost her appetite.

Everyone did not notice the change in Xue Ya's mood and talked about some new things that had happened in the month when Qin Xiaoxiao was away from home. Among them was that a jujube tree had died inexplicably in the Lin family's big house, and Lin Chunsheng and Mrs. Lin's wife came to the door.

Asking for help.

It is also strange to say that the Lin family originally got a dozen jujube saplings, and after raising seven of them, Old Man Lin and Old Mrs. Zhou took the decision to allocate two jujube saplings to the third room of the Lin family. The two elders kept the remaining one they picked.

In recent years, the jujube trees have been quite promising, giving each house of the Lin family an extra ten taels of silver in income every year. Therefore, they serve their jujube trees like ancestors and do not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Everything was fine, this year's jujube trees had also grown. Unexpectedly, just half a month ago, one of the two jujube trees in the Lin family's main house lost all its leaves overnight, and even the branches gradually began to grow.

The hair is dry and dry, and will break when the wind blows.

The eldest son of the Lin family panicked and came to the Qin family in a hurry, asking Qinshan Lin Qiuniang to go over and see what the cause was and whether the dying jujube tree could be saved.

After all, the Qin family has a jujube garden and has planted hundreds of jujube trees. They must have more experience in serving jujube trees than they do.

Although Fang was not a good person and said things that made Qin Shan and his wife want to tear her mouth apart, Lin Qiuniang and Lin Chunsheng had been brothers and sisters for decades, and she could not ignore it, so she went to the Lin family with Qin Shan that day.

The two of them walked around the jujube tree several times and found no problems. They guessed that there was something wrong with the roots of the tree and asked the Lin family to dig up the withered jujube tree to see what was happening at the roots.

Sure enough, the problem did lie in the root. There was actually a nest of Wong Tai Sin who hollowed out the taproot of the jujube tree and used it as its own nest.

The jujube tree could not be saved, and the whole brood of Wong Tai Sin was gone when the Lin family hoed it, leaving only the shed hair and feces.

The main room of the Lin family cried miserably in front of the dead jujube tree.

Looking at Lin Qiuniang who was heartbroken and regretful, Qin Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her bowl, and said lightly: "Mom, isn't there still a tree alive? My uncle and his family have learned their lesson, and they will definitely take good care of her and won't teach her any more.

Wong Tai Sin is ruined.”

When Lin Qiuniang heard this, she understood what her daughter meant and said with a troubled face: "Xiaoxiao, your uncle's family has a lot of land but little land. What they want is for our family to leave a few jujube saplings next spring, and they will pay to buy them back...

"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Mom, tell my uncle and aunt not to waste money. No matter how much I buy, they won't be able to grow it."

Lin Qiuniang was shocked: "Xiaoxiao, you..."

Mr. Qin and others looked at each other, unconsciously putting down their chopsticks and looking at Qin Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly: "The taproot of the jujube tree was hollowed out by Wong Tai Sin. It's really none of my business. It's not my fault that my uncle's family can't plant jujube seedlings. Think about this.

Of the jujube saplings we bought last year, who can grow more than three of them?"

Everyone was stunned and carefully recalled the planting situation of the jujube saplings bought by the villagers. They found that no family had supported more than three jujube saplings, and their eyes widened.

"Our family is very lucky to be able to get old jujube trees and plant a jujube grove, but it is difficult for other families."

Qin Xiaoxiao took a sip of the soup, suppressed the greasy feeling, and said slowly: "With the good fortune of my uncle's family, we can only plant two jujube trees. If one suddenly dies, it means that we are not lucky enough. Plant another one."

A tree will not help the matter."
