New widow

"If I cared about this, I wouldn't recognize you." Suqiao said frankly. These words made Old Mrs. Wan look at Suqiao, tears in her eyes were about to fall again. Aunt Wan had already said to Old Mrs. Wan: " Mother-in-law, what my niece said is that this is a happy event.”

After speaking, Aunt Wan picked up the wine glass: "Since it is a happy event, let's all have a drink."

"Thank you, auntie." Su Qiao said with a smile and raised the wine glass. Before Mrs. Wan could get the wine glass, Wan'er quietly stretched her hand over: "Grandma won't drink, then I will..."

"Is there any reason to let you drink?" Old Mrs. Wan slapped Wan'er's hand. Wan'er looked at Old Mrs. Wan with a smile: "Grandma, please pick up this wine glass. Everyone will be happy. Happily, that’s the best thing.”

"That's right, it couldn't be better." Song Zhen also said with a smile. Old Mrs. Wan picked up the wine glass, but she still couldn't help but muttered: "If your father was still alive, he would definitely say that you are all here." Nonsense.”

"Isn't my father not alive now?" Wan Dequan asked, and Mrs. Wan wiped away her tears: "Your father, that's it, that's all, it's already now, what else can I say about the past."

"Yeah, let's not talk about those past events." Suqiao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at the people on the table, and said with a smile: "You are my family."

"We are, of course, your family." Aunt Wan had already held Su Qiao's hand in hers and said sincerely. Su Qiao also looked at her: "Thank you, Aunt."

"Thank you for what I did. Hey, if you had done this a long time ago, my sister might not have..." Before Aunt Wan could finish her words, she reached out and slapped herself:

"Don't mention this matter anymore, don't mention it anymore."

"It's all your father's fault." Mrs. Wan was still a little unwilling when she mentioned this matter. For this matter, she would always blame the dead old man. If he hadn't forgotten everything when he heard that his son-in-law had become an official, he wouldn't have done it. When the news of her daughter's death came, she was not allowed to go and pick up her granddaughter, let alone not say a word when she knew that the son born to Li was already three years old.

If he had said it at that time, Mr. Kuang would no longer be an official, then he could have brought his granddaughter back to save her from suffering so much. When she was only twenty, she was married twice and became a widow twice. She had her dead husband to blame for all of this.

Suqiao had no memory of her grandfather at all, and Wan Dequan did not dare to refute what Mrs. Wan said. Aunt Wan smiled and said, "Those things are in the past. Don't talk about it anymore. Don't blame me." No matter how strange things come, after all, our niece can live her own life."

"Yes, just living life." Wan Dequan's eyes lit up: "I have been doing business these days, and I have discovered that doing business also has the fun of doing business."

"You also said that doing business is not as glorious as you being a yamen servant." Aunt Wan spat, and Wan Dequan laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, this is all my fault, my fault, I will have another drink. "

"Mom, Dad is secretly drinking again." Wan'er shouted loudly, and Aunt Wan slapped Wan Dequan on the hand. Everyone laughed, Su Qiao also laughed, and Song Zhen suddenly clapped her hands: "Now Son, Aunt Kuang smiles differently than usual."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Laughing is just laughing. What else is different from usual?"

Like? "Suqiao said with a smile, and Song Zhen said with a smile: "I thought that although Aunt Kuang often had a smile on her face, her smile was always a little sad, but now, I can't see it on Aunt Kuang's face. The sadness of a smile. "

But like all women in the world, she smiles heartily. Suqiao couldn't help but touch her face: "Really?"

"I just think that my cousin is the prettiest, has the prettiest smile, and is the most handsome I have ever seen..." Before Wan'er could finish her words, Aunt Wan stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth: "You, stop talking, The more I talk, the more timid I become."

"Dad, my mother bullied me." Wan'er said coquettishly. Wan Dequan burst out laughing. After laughing, he said to Wan'er, "Who told you not to listen to your mother?"

Wan'er refused to obey and acted coquettishly. The laughter spread far. Zhou Le looked at the food in front of him and said to Grandma Li: "Look, they are having a great time."

"Girl, if it's just for these..." Grandma Li was about to say glory and wealth, when she saw Zhou Le looking at her, and then Zhou Le smiled: "Mammy, you have to know that glory and wealth are easy for me. .”

"Girl, you are not greedy for glory, but you do want it so that you can live a good life." After hearing this, Zhou Le suddenly smiled at Nanny Li: "The year before last, my grandmother wanted to negotiate a marriage for me."

"Yes, what I was talking about at that time was the young master who was the inspector of Zhejiang Province." Aunt Li remembered this matter clearly. A slight smile appeared on Zhou Le's lips: "Before it is settled, his family has been offended."

If an official is offended, he will naturally be thrown into jail, and those who should be demoted to slavery will be demoted to slavery. Grandma Li's expression changed, and then she said, "It's just the girl's luck that she didn't jump into the fire pit."

"After the case is settled, press

The wife of the inspector came to the capital with her children to join her family. " Zhou Le said lightly. Aunt Li knew what Zhou Le was going to say. As expected, she heard Zhou Le continue: "That lady, I met her a few years ago. At that time, she came to visit her grandmother, surrounded by maids. , her daughter, one year older than me, is also surrounded by pearls and emeralds, what a rich lady. "

"Girl, those things are all in the past." Aunt Li knew what Zhou Le was going to say and tried her best to stop Zhou Le. Zhou Le had already laughed: "But, in just three years, after being convicted by the procuratorate, all the family property was lost." After the confiscation, the lady took only one servant and returned to the capital all the way from Zhejiang. Fortunately, her brother still had some conscience and gave her 200 taels of silver to live outside with her children. "

200 taels of silver is not too small, but for such a noble lady, 200 taels of silver was more than the number of people who could be rewarded in a year in the past. Now this money is what the family needs to live.

Of course, the money was not enough to buy a house, so they had to rent a house to live in. The mother and daughter made some needlework and asked the servants to sell it in the market so that they could buy some rice and noodles.

"In the past, the rich lady who was surrounded by pearls and emerald greens lost her beauty in just one year. This year, I heard that she married a businessman." After Zhou Le said this, he said to Aunt Li: "Look, if one day, Do you want to live like this?"

"Girl, how can you and her be the same?" Grandma Li could only say this, and Zhou Le smiled: "They are the same, Grandma Li, there is no difference."

When someone offends someone, a young lady with a lot of money still has to do some needlework to support her family. She was once a noble husband with a third-grade imperial title.

People also have to live in such a small house, with nothing to touch the spring water. The young master who only knew how to study in the study has to write letters everywhere, asking for a scene, so that he can earn some money to support his family.
