It was only until the person who reported left that Xue Yan finally closed the window. To his surprise, he discovered that Jiang Yue’s window had opened, and Jiang Yue could be seen jumping out after the man left.
He subconsciously moved aside to let Jiang Yue in.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Jiang Yue climbed up his window and jumped in.
He knew that Jiang Yue had better hearing than him, so she must have noticed that someone had come earlier than him. However, she was not in a hurry to come over. Without waiting for Jiang Yue to ask, he immediately lowered his voice and told her that Xue Daxi and Hongguo were already on their way back. Jiang Yue was not surprised, but she said, “That’s faster than we expected.”
Xue Yan nodded. “It’s faster than we expected. We just talked about this with Sifu yesterday, and now they’re on the way back. Xue Daxi must have already gotten the divorce letter and the written agreement that Hongguo belongs to her. Otherwise, Xue Daxi wouldn’t have come back.”
Jiang Yue continued, “It must be because Du Shanqiangs family really wanted Daxi and Cousin Hongguo to come back. Xue Daxi must have signed a contract of how much money she owed them. Must be why they left immediately.”
Xue Yan nodded again. “It won’t look good for us if we go and pick them up now, so we’ll pretend that we don’t know. When they come, they’ll definitely look for Grandfather first. Grandfather won’t come to us and tell the news since it’s already quite dark outside, He’ll probably wait until dawn to tell us.”
“Should be.” Jiang Yue naturally agreed. After a pause, she suddenly asked, “Isn’t your grandmother supposed to arrive in the next two days?”
Empress Dowager Yunzi set off from the capital city on the 16th of January. It was already the first day of February. No matter how slow the carriage was, no matter how much rest they needed, they should have arrived by now.
Xue Yan also felt it and nodded once again, “l should receive a letter within these two days.”
“Then you can continue sleeping. You still have to practice martial arts at dawn.” Jiang Yue said.
“Goodnight.”
When Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo arrived at Locust Village, they knocked on
the door to look for Xue Da. However, Xue Da lived with Xue Darongs family, so he naturally woke up Xue Darongs family to share the good news.
Knowing that Xue Daxi and Hongguo had officially left Du Shanqiangs family, Xue Da, Xue Darong, Qian Caiyu, and the others were naturally very happy.
Since it was late, he let Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo stay here for the night. If there was anything, they could talk about it at dawn.
It wasn’t until dawn that the villagers were all awake. They hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, but when it was almost time for breakfast, Xue Darong asked his son, Xue Wen, to call Xue Dahua and Xue Dafu over.
Originally, he wanted to call Xue Dagui, but Xue Dagui seemed to not be home. This must mean he was in the shop with Xue Sifu.
Even before any of that, Xue Yan had already gotten into the horse stance and brought Jiang Yue along to practice martial arts.
Xue Dafu, Xue Dahua, and the others were so happy with the news when they heard Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo had left the Du Shanqiang Family.
When it was mentioned that Xue Daxi wanted to give Du Shanqiang four or five hundred coins, Xue Dafu immediately turned to Liu Guixia and said, “Guixia, quickly give Daxi four or five hundred coins.”
Before Liu Guixia could respond, Xue Darong hurriedly said, “I’m the eldest here. I’ll pay for it.” His oil mill business has been running quite smoothly. He wanted to expand it again this year and hire a few more people. His family could afford to give some money away.
Although Xue Dahua was the poorest of the brothers, he still said, “Great joy. I can’t do much, but I can still give you one or two coins.”
Xue Da smiled and said, “There’s no need for you guys to do that. I still have some money. It’s also because you’ve all been so good to me. I’m the only one who won’t need all that money..”
