After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 358 Hiding is not a solution

"Xu Lao Er, even if you want to kick us out, you can't detain your sister-in-law and niece-in-law, right? What's going on here..."

"That's right, we bought the two concubines ourselves, why can't we let them leave?"

"Open the door, or we'll break it down..."

Outside, the Xu family members were still clamoring. The sister-in-law they were talking about was the girl bought by Xu Qinghai and Xu Qingjiang, who was later promoted to concubine.

As for the niece's wife, she was one of Xu Jinran's former maids, who were later taken away by Xu Wenlin and his two companions.

It was a natural thing to say, but it was very embarrassing for Xu Jinran and Qin to hear it.

To be honest, the peasants are just peasants, just a few bought girls who were kept in their rooms and pampered by their parents, but now they dare to be called their sisters-in-law and nieces-in-law.

Bah! How dare they do that!

Also, what do you mean they bought it themselves?

When they came here, they were penniless and had nothing. They couldn't even afford a hot meal. If they hadn't extorted some money from Qin, they would have been unable to buy a maid.

The more Qin thought about it, the angrier she became. She hated herself for not being tough and kicking the guy out earlier so that he wouldn't come causing trouble now.

But it's too late to regret now. All we have to do now is have someone hold the yard door tightly to prevent those people from actually breaking down the door.

The Xu family originally thought that since they had made such a big scene, Xu Jinran and his wife would definitely be wary and would invite them into the yard again to talk.

After all, we are not outsiders. We all know what to do clearly. Isn’t it good for us to help each other when we live together?

Thinking that only four masters of Xu Jinran's family lived in such a large courtyard, and the other rooms were occupied by irrelevant servants, the Xu family became even more angry.

It is true that the richer one is, the more he enjoys life. He needs others to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he is reluctant to give even a few empty rooms to his blood-related relatives.

However, they were destined to be disappointed today. No matter what they did outside, Xu Jinran and Qin remained indifferent.

Come to think of it, if these people hadn't suddenly come forward to testify, their identities wouldn't have been revealed so quickly, and they might have continued to live in Prince Ning's Mansion.

These people have really caused great harm to their entire family. Now they want to bother them again. That is absolutely impossible.

"But hiding all the time is not a solution."

Xu Letie listened to the noise outside, rolled her eyes, and said meaningfully.

"If we allow them to come and cause trouble frequently, our family's reputation will probably be ruined..."

"Die'er is right. Although our family has moved out of Prince Ning's mansion, we still have to live in the capital in the future, and our children still have to get married. Given this situation, who would dare to become our in-laws?"

Qin also said that she and Xu Jinran had been quarreling with each other before, but now that they had moved to the small courtyard here and the maids who served them had been taken away by the three brothers of the Xu family, the couple had become harmonious now.

"Ahem... So what do you think we should do now? If we can make them disappear completely..."

Xu Jinran coughed a few times and looked at Qin. They both understood the thoughts in each other's eyes.

"Then... Die'er, go back and pack some copper coins and use them to calm them down first."

After all, Xu Letie was a girl, so he thought about sending her away first.

Qin had the same idea and asked the maid who served her to go with her.

"Those people are still locked up in the backyard. I think we should take this opportunity to let them go."

Qin said it seemingly nonchalantly, but secretly glanced at the expression on Xu Jinran's face.

When the three brothers got into trouble this time, all of Old Xu's family members were driven out, and the three girls were also locked up in the backyard along with the girls bought by Xu Qinghai and Xu Qingjiang.

Qin was afraid that Xu Jinran would still have thoughts about those little girls, so she locked the back door of the room every day as if to prevent thieves.

Except for the maids who brought food, no one else was allowed to approach them.

"Don't you have their indentures? Sell them or give them away. It's all up to you."

As for this woman Qin, Xu Jinran has been with her for quite a few years, and he knows very well what she is thinking.

"Well, we won't get much money from selling them, so why not send them away first and appease those people first?"

Hearing that Xu Jinran had no objection, Qin was indeed very happy. She couldn't hide the smile on her face. She called a maid and asked her to go into the house and find the indentures of the three maids.

Then Qin went to the backyard alone and asked someone to bring out the three maids.

Holding their indentures in his hands, he used threats and inducements before having the other two concubines brought out.

Xu Letie has taken out a purse. Although it looks bulging, it is actually full of copper coins, which does not add up to much.

After everything was ready, Xu Jinran arranged for someone to open the door and let all the girls out.

"Don't think that just because we are too lazy to argue with you, you can just keep talking nonsense. These girls are obviously my girls, but you guys have forcibly taken them. Now that they come to ask for them, we are generous and won't argue with you country folks, so we will give them to you."

Xu Jinran had a cold face and looked at the people from Old Xu's family as if they were dead people.

"As for these silver coins, we only give them to you because you are pitiful. Take them and leave quickly. If you appear in front of us again next time, we will have to send you to the government office."

Although his voice was not loud, it carried a sinister murderous aura that frightened several people in the Xu family.

They were used to being unreasonable on weekdays, and this was the first time they saw Xu Jinran with such an expression, and they couldn't help but feel very scared.

Xu Guihua had originally been thinking about asking Qin to help her make some connections, but now that things had developed to this point, she knew that it was impossible. She felt dejected and didn't bother to care what Xu Jinran said.

Because there were so many people gathered outside, it was not convenient for Qin and Xu Letie to go out in public, so they just stood in the yard and did not go out.

This also prevented Xu Guihua from coming up and causing trouble again, so he could have some peace and quiet.
