New widow

"When you entered the city, you said you were going to check out the shops. I thought it was not the same thing." Aunt Wan waited until everyone sat in the main room before she asked.

Mrs. Wan glanced at Su Qiao, who already smiled: "Sooner or later, you will know about this."

"What do you know?" Aunt Wan was very suspicious. Suqiao had already looked at her and smiled: "Today, grandma and uncle went to the inn."

It was obvious who he was going to meet at the post house. Aunt Wan was startled, and then she whispered: "You are too courageous."

"With your niece, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Wan said angrily. Aunt Wan felt that she had thousands of words to say in her heart, but she couldn't say them out. After a while, Aunt Wan said: "This will happen in the future. This thing can’t be done.”

"You are making such a fuss." Mrs. Wan smiled after saying this: "This person has become really powerful."

The young scholar who was led to his home and asked to marry his daughter smiled so shyly that his daughter stood outside the window and fell in love with him at a glance. When I went to ask my daughter, she just smiled and refused to speak. What a marriage that was.

A poor scholar who came from other places to make a living, his family was well off, but because of his status he could not find a daughter from a better family. After getting married, they were harmonious and beautiful, and they were very happy when they gave birth to a granddaughter.

Although the son-in-law is poor, he still wants to make money and support his wife and daughters. But who would have thought that happily going to Beijing to seek a job would end up costing his daughter his life.

"Mother-in-law, how can this person remain unchanged?" Aunt Wan heard that Mrs. Wan

The sadness in Tai's words made her feel a little sour in her heart, but she couldn't express it, so she could only comfort her softly.

"My Qiao'er, what kind of life did you have before." Mrs. Wan took Su Qiao's hand and said, "Now, instead of seeking justice for your mother, you are being criticized."

"I don't care." Suqiao smiled after saying this. It seemed that she always said this.

Mrs. Wan's expression clearly showed disbelief. Su Qiao no longer cared about whether Mrs. Wan believed it or not. She just smiled and said: "Okay, today I have made it clear in front of everyone. Let's go our separate ways first." Rest." After saying that, Suqiao shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law Wu, is dinner ready?"

"It's almost ready. Let's wait for uncle to come back and have dinner together." Sister-in-law Wu's voice came from the kitchen. Aunt Wan had already walked to the yard and said with a smile: "There's no need to wait for him, just leave some food for him." .”

"What kind of delicious food are you going to eat? You only left some dishes for me?" Wan Dequan's voice came from outside, and then Wan Dequan walked in. Aunt Wan looked at her husband and stepped forward with a smile: "I'm back. Thank you for your hard work these days."

"It's not easy to make money without hard work." After Wan Dequan finished speaking, he sniffed: "It smells so good. What have you done?"

"I thought the ribs were good today and I have a lot of people at home, so I bought half a fan of ribs." Manager Wu said with a smile.

"Didn't you see that half a fan of ribs came in? I was shocked. Firstly, how could I finish eating so many ribs? Secondly, if it's not the Chinese New Year, who would buy so much meat?"

Aunt Wan said with a smile, Sister-in-law Wu was already in the kitchen: "Fry the ribs and serve wine to my father-in-law and uncle.

The old lady can eat the braised pork ribs, and the meat from the ribs will be given to the girl. "

"No wonder it's so delicious. Why doesn't the meat taste delicious?" Wan Dequan was also laughing there. The laughter spread into the hall. A slight smile appeared on Suqiao's lips. The people he cares about are all here. For this The tranquility cannot be destroyed by anyone, no one can.

During dinner, Wan Dequan and Manager Wu were sitting outside drinking. There were dishes on the table in the main room. Old Mrs. Wan couldn't help but click her tongue: "I haven't had such a good meal during the Chinese New Year."

"Old lady, you are here. Our ladies are smiling more than usual." Sister-in-law Xiao Wu stood aside serving dishes and diligently gave Old Mrs. Wan a bowl of pork rib soup.

Old Mrs. Wan looked at the pork rib soup and clucked her tongue again: "Enough, enough, who drinks so much soup at one time. We cut the meat and came back, but we were only willing to give the child a taste of the meat."

Eating eggs is not difficult, after all, every family raises egg-laying hens, but eating meat, especially pork, is a big deal. Not many people can afford meat, and there are not many butchers. Once a pig is sold, it is gone.

"That's how it turned out, grandma. From now on, if you want to eat or drink anything, just ask." Su Qiao picked up the fried pork with chopsticks and said to Sister-in-law Wu, "This meat is good."

"It's rare to be so fresh, although..." Sister-in-law Wu remembered some things she had heard about the British government, and swallowed it. Suqiao only smiled. Those luxuries were far away from her. When her father left this place, her life would be peaceful.

This night, Suqiao slept very well, or rather, since she came here

, Suqiao has been sleeping well. But Mr. Kuang was very angry and couldn't sleep no matter how hard he went. If what happened here spread, it would be a great obstacle to his official reputation. Why didn't she drown when I gave birth to her?

Mr. Kuang was so angry that he beat the bed, or maybe he couldn't bear to let her go when her mother died and took her away too. This would have saved a lot of trouble, and Mrs. Li wouldn't have to worry about being exposed when Mrs. Li married her. , the matter that Wanshi is still alive. Really, this family is not helpful to me at all, it's all a hindrance.

Mr. Kuang lay down again, completely forgetting that he had just arrived. If Wanjia hadn't given him a helping hand, he wouldn't have been able to live safely in the city, earn some money, and live a comfortable life. Even when going to Beijing, the Wan family paid 20 taels of silver for the expenses. Although it was the Wan family's dowry, Mr. Kuang did not pay any betrothal gifts.

Every piece of information has completely disappeared from Master Kuang's place. Mr. Kuang tossed and turned there, and finally decided to go to the Shangshu Mansion to meet Wang Shangshu and ask for advice on what to do about this matter so as not to affect him.

Early the next morning, Mr. Kuang ordered the sedan to be prepared and went to Shangshu Mansion. When Master Kuang's post was delivered to the Jingshe, Wang Shangshu had already had breakfast and was writing there. When he saw the post, Wang Shangshu just smiled and said to the boy: "Go out and tell Master Kuang that the old man is old." Gao Xi is sleeping, he hasn’t gotten up yet, please wait there, Mr. Kuang.”

The young man probably went out and said this to Mr. Kuang. Mr. Kuang frowned tightly: "I was too abrupt. I actually forgot that Mr. Kuang hadn't gotten up yet."

"If you have something important, sir, please go and do it first." The boy said respectfully, and Master Kuang thought for a while: "There is nothing important, so I will just wait here for you, sir."
