A concubine?
Xue Da was initially anxious when he saw his granddaughter crying like that, but before he could show it, he heard his eldest son-in-law’s words and immediately froze.
Xue Dafu and the others were also stunned. They did not expect this at all.
However, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Sihu’s expressions all turned into disgust.
The three of them knew that Du Shanqiangs family was very poor. Ever since he started working in the rice noodle shop, his way of living has improved. However, that was only among the farmers. How could Du Shanqiang afford to buy a concubine with just a few months salary? He must have used Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo’s salary as well.
“l didn’t expect them to buy me a concubine… That day, my parents asked me to come back home early. I thought it was because Father was sick. I just assumed that they needed me to bring him to the doctors or something. When I went back, I found out that he had bought me a concubine and asked me to consummate the marriage with her. He said that it was important to have descendants. He said that my wife can’t give him a son and that I should divorce her. Naturally, I refused, so he had to buy me a concubine. I had no choice, so… Just…”
Xue Dagui was thick- skinned. The moment that was said, he reacted shamelessly, “So you did it with her?”
Du Shanqiangs face turned even redder.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about!” Xue Dagui teased.
Du Shanqiang wanted to find a hole to hide in because of the amount of attention he was receiving.
“What?!” Xue Xiaoxi shouted. “Can you stop asking silly questions? Don’t listen to him. Where did he get the money to buy a concubine? It was all because of Sanfu’s kindness that he was allowed to work in the shop! Also, the total he can rally will be five silver. His monthly salary was at most close to two silver. Where did he get so much money? He must have used his sister and
Hongguo’s salary to buy a concubine!”
“That’s possible.” Finally, Xue Dagui also reacted and immediately said with a smile, “Shanqiang, how can you be worse than me? No one would stop you from buying a concubine, but if you used your wife and daughter’s money to buy a concubine, it would be very inhuman. If you have the ability, use your own money to buy concubines.”
Xue Dafu was so angry that he snorted. Their family wanted to help but they were the ones that refused help. They couldn’t let this happen!
Du Hongguo was still crying in Liu Guixia’s arms, so Liu Guixia naturally comforted her.
Because Xue Gouzi and the others were young kids, they just stood at the side and watched, not knowing what to say.
Xue Yan could not say anything as he was just a child. He could only stand by the side and watch the chaos unfold.
Xue Da was calm, he leaned on his walking stick and silently sat down. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan hurried over and helped their grandfather sit down slowly.
When Xue Sihu saw that his grandfather had sat down, he put on his usual smile. “Darong, since you’ve already said it, then tell me more clearly. When did Xue Daxi find out that you had a concubine?”
He had only been away from the shop for the past two days. There had been nothing wrong with his aunt before, so she must have only found out in the past two days!
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also thought so. They didn’t hear Sifu say that there was something wrong with Xue Daxi, but Du Shanqiang was very strange when he took the job of guarding the shop. They all turned their attention to Du Shanqiang.
Du Shanqiang didn’t have the face to say it, but everyone was looking at him. In the end, he said, “New Year’s Eve…
“Heh,” Xue Sihu laughed. “l can’t believe you have the nerve to say that. “Although she married into your family and is now part of your family, you should at least tell her in advance where you want to use the money she earned through hard work..”
