New widow

"My wife will ask you three questions. If the answers are satisfactory, these five taels of silver will be your reward. If the answers are incorrect, there is nothing we can do." As she spoke, Grandma Wu showed the five taels of silver in her hand.

When Mrs. Du saw the five taels of silver, her eyes lit up, and she raised her head and said, "Excuse me, I will answer honestly."

"My wife is asking you, when did you know that your husband was gone?" Although Aunt Wu also felt that Su Qiao's three questions were strange, she still asked them truthfully.

Du answered without any hesitation: "My husband didn't come home last night. I got up in the morning and looked for him. I couldn't find him, so I went to look for my aunt. My aunt told me not to worry. Who knows, someone came looking for him at this time. As soon as I heard this If you wear clothes and shoes, you will know he is my husband.”

As she said that, Mrs. Du started to cry. Aunt Wu nodded: "Who told you that you can blackmail money by coming to our door?"

"I, I can't say." At this time, Du Shi suddenly became smarter and shook her head silently.

"The third question, what does your aunt do at home?" Aunt Wu's question is not that difficult. Mrs. Du told Mrs. Du everything about what Mrs. Du's house does. Aunt Wu nodded, and little Sister-in-law Wu had already walked out of the yard. Come out: "Mother-in-law, my wife said, these five taels of silver are your reward."

Seeing that she could really get five taels of silver, Mrs. Du's eyes lit up, but she still didn't dare to take the money: "Here, there is another question that has not been answered."

"Madam already knows." Sister-in-law Xiao Wu said loudly, and then said to Mrs. Du: "Take the money and go to the funeral."

Mrs. Du kowtowed to Grandma Wu before taking the money. Sister-in-law Wu looked at

Du's back gave a long sigh, and Aunt Wu also said to Sister-in-law Wu: "That's why we don't dare to leave the Duke's Mansion."

There are people out there who can be good friends, but if something happens, the sky will fall. Like Du, she doesn't even have money for a funeral, so she can only borrow money from everywhere, but a widow has to raise a child. , who dares to lend her money?

Sister-in-law Wu was so touched that she almost started crying when her nose became sore. Sister-in-law Wu sighed and said nothing.

"Find that Mrs. Du and tell her that my family wants to buy some vegetables from her." Suqiao only said this to Aunt Wu after hearing this. Aunt Wu frowned: "Madam, it's just a small matter, so there's no need for it. …”

"No need to make such a big show of it?" Su Qiao asked back. Aunt Wu did not dare to speak anymore. Su Qiao already said calmly: "Of course I know what you are thinking in your hearts, but there are some things that if suppressed with force, it will inevitably cause trouble again in the future. .”

Rebirth of trouble? What kind of disaster? Aunt Wu looked at Su Qiao, but did not dare to ask any more questions. Su Qiao did not explain in detail and only asked Aunt Wu to find Granny Du.

Mrs. Du had something on her mind. When she heard Aunt Wu saying that Su Qiao wanted to see her, Mrs. Du was so frightened that she dropped the hoe in her hand. Then she reached out to pick up the hoe and said with an apologetic smile to Aunt Wu: "This, this, My wife is a noble person, so she doesn’t need to see people like me.”

"Our lady is approachable, you don't have to worry." After all, Nanny Wu had been a housekeeper for so many years, so she naturally knew why Mrs. Du was nervous, so she deliberately spoke in a tone of voice.

Mrs. Du couldn't help but screamed in pain, but she didn't dare to show it.

He just said to Aunt Wu: "I'm going to change my clothes."

"No need to change!" Why couldn't Grandma Wu see that Mrs. Du was delaying? Naturally, she couldn't be allowed to delay.

"You see, you are also a servant, me, me..." Mrs. Du wanted to run away again.

"Let's go, why don't you do this business?" Grandma Wu made a gesture of invitation, and Granny Du could only follow Granny Wu to leave. The road between the fields was not easy to walk. Seeing Granny Wu walking in front, Granny Du said, It seemed that her steps were a little unsteady, and she even wanted to push Grandma Wu into the field so that she could escape.

Unexpectedly, Nanny Wu suddenly turned around and said, "Don't think that this is all for nothing. Let me tell you, if you really pushed me, then this matter will be all yours."

"I, I didn't do anything, I just instigated a few words." Mrs. Du almost cried. Aunt Wu looked at her: "A few instigating words? Just a few instigating words, and it almost caused a catastrophe."

"Then there's nothing I can do about it." Mrs. Du's voice was very low, and Grandma Wu smiled: "Yes, you can't do anything about it. Why are you, a vegetable seller, getting involved in these things?"

do what? Of course it was for the money, otherwise for what else, Mrs. Du remained silent, and Grandma Wu took her to Suqiao.

At that time, Suqiao had just finished dinner and was sitting in the yard enjoying the shade. When she saw Suqiao, Mrs. Du knelt down to Suqiao without saying anything and said, "I wish you well."

"Get up, I just came to ask if your food is good. If it's good, just buy some. There's no need to give such a big gift." Su Qiao said to Miss Song, "Go and get some tea."

Little Sister Song should be. Just as she was about to walk down, Little Sister Song suddenly

Looking at Madam Du, she said, "I've seen you before."

"I often sell vegetables here, so of course you have seen me." Mrs. Du just wanted to hide herself, but she couldn't, so she could only speak cautiously. Little Sister Song smiled and said, "That's not the case. It was that day when I saw you talking to that plasterer."

"That's my niece-in-law. It's not unusual for me to talk to him for a few words." Mrs. Du really wished there was a crack in the ground so she could get in, so she said bravely, but Sister Song still looked at Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du was really scared. Little Sister Song said a few more unfavorable words to herself.

Su Qiao had already smiled at Little Sister Song: "Hurry up and get some tea. Don't scare the old man out if you look at him like this."

Little Sister Song then went down to pour tea. Mrs. Du smiled at Suqiao: "Actually, she looks about the same age as my niece."

"Calculating, she is a few years older than your niece." Su Qiao said lightly, and Mrs. Du sighed, "No wonder, this woman who lives in a deep house never worries or works, so naturally she is older than We want to look younger.”

"I remembered." Sister Song came up with tea and put it in front of Mrs. Du. Her smile didn't change at all: "That day, after you talked to the plasterer, you seemed to have talked to a pig butcher. Speak."

There was a clang, and the tea bowl in Mrs. Du's hand almost broke. Then Mrs. Du knelt down to Suqiao tremblingly: "Madam, madam, I don't dare to kill anyone."

"Sometimes, killing someone is the stupidest thing." Suqiao said lightly. Mrs. Du had been in and out of these houses all year round and learned a few polite words. Suddenly Mrs. Du started crying again.

He said: "I, I, I didn't let anyone kill anyone."
