New widow

"Ms. Kuang, you don't know that our fourth master has the most mean and stingy temper." After saying that, Granny Li frowned: "What if someone else comes, especially the third master, he is always generous with his actions. Maybe he will give us half of our girl’s dowry, and then he will return to Beijing with the coffin.”

"What if the fourth master comes?" Su Qiao asked back, and Grandma Li's expression became a little bitter: "He will definitely know how to find out a lot of money, and he will also ask us to follow him back to Beijing. .”

Aunt Li was about to follow her back to Beijing, so there was no one around Zhou Le. Su Qiao pondered for a while and then said with a smile: "There is Su Tongpan."

"He can't do it. Firstly, he is a junior, and secondly, the divorce letter has already been written." After saying that, Grandma Li sighed: "That's all, I'd better think about it by myself."

Suqiao laughed when she saw Aunt Li like this: "I don't care about other people, but you, I will definitely stay." Aunt Li's expression suddenly became happy: "Really?"

"When did I ever tell a lie?" Su Qiao asked with a smile. When Grandma Li heard Su Qiao's words, her smile was a bit sincere: "Then I would like to thank Mrs. Kuang."

"Don't thank me yet. Now, go out and greet the fourth master of your family." Suqiao stood up with a smile. Aunt Li responded hurriedly. Although Zhou Juren came to Suqiao's house today, Suqiao was The woman, Wan Dequan, was not at home either, so Suqiao had no intention of going out to see Zhou Juren.

So when Zhou Juren and Su Du came, they went out to greet Nanny Li. Seeing Nanny Li, Zhou Juren's expression suddenly became ugly: "How on earth do you people serve? Well,

The girl was handed over to you, and you actually gave her to..."

"Greetings to the fourth master." Nanny Li knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Juren, her voice already filled with sadness: "The doctor here said that the girl has a long-term illness, so..."

"You dare to quibble in front of me." Zhou Juren kicked Grandma Li in the heart. Grandma Li's heart hurt, but she did not dare to say a word and still knelt there.

"Please go inside and talk first." Su Du knew that it was common to beat and scold servants, but when he saw that the villagers had already looked over, he reminded him softly.

Zhou Juren couldn't help but snort. He was the son of Mr. Ge, and he would be watched by these villagers wherever he went. But what Su Du said made sense, so Zhou Juren walked in with high head.

Tea and snacks were already placed in the main room. Aunt Li followed Zhou Juren in and went to bring tea and water.

"Are there no other servants in this house?" Zhou Juren frowned even more when he saw Aunt Li coming to pour tea.

"Mrs. Kuang's servants are not good enough to serve you." Nanny Li only said this, and then said to Zhou Juren: "Fortunately, this tea is good, you can try it first. And these snacks are also the same as those in Beijing." The taste is almost the same.”

Zhou Juren took a sip of the tea and looked at the snacks. This snack was freshly made, so Zhou Juren nodded: "This snack is not bad. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"This is the list that the Su family sent when they came to deliver the divorce papers that day." Aunt Li knew what Zhou Juren's purpose was, so she handed over a list with both hands.

Zhou Juren couldn't wait to grab the list from Grandma Li and read it carefully. Before he finished reading, Zhou Juren

His eyebrows furrowed into a knot: "Why do I feel like something is wrong with this list?"

"Those furniture and several furnishings were all broken into silver." Aunt Li knew why Zhou Juren asked this question, and she had already prepared her words. Zhou Juren nodded: "Silver is easy to handle, but where are those things?"

"Put them all in the wing room." Just as Grandma Li was about to ask Zhou Juren to take a look, Zhou Juren had already stood up: "Take me to take a look quickly."

Aunt Li was scolding in her heart, but she still respectfully invited Zhou Juren into the wing.

There were several boxes and cages piled up in the side room, and several boxes were placed on the box cages. Zhou Juren opened the boxes and took a look. One box contained silver notes, and the other box contained jewelry.

"Open all these boxes for me." Zhou Juren ordered, and Grandma Li stepped forward to open the boxes. All kinds of materials and some furnishings placed in the boxes all appeared.

Zhou Juren's face was filled with joy and he said to Aunt Li: "It seems that there is no difference between these things and the list."

"Yes!" Nanny Li was still respectful. At this time, Zhou Juren said to Nanny Li: "I just went to the nunnery and saw no one accompanying the spirit. Ordinarily, you should be there to watch the spirit."

"Because there are too many things here, after much thought, I entrusted the coffin to the master of the nunnery." Grandma Li said respectfully. Zhou Juren looked at the contents of the boxes and then said to Grandma Li Mom said: "What you said makes sense. These things are really expensive. It's a pity that my niece has to die in a foreign country at such a young age."

At this time, only Zhou Ju was willing to say a word of pity, but Grandma Li did not dare to show anything on her face.

Well, still standing there.

"Master Zhou, these lists have been counted. I guess there is nothing missing, right?" Su Du's voice sounded. After Zhou Juren finished counting these things, he felt extremely comfortable. He smiled at Su Du and said, "Of course there is nothing." Omission.”

"In that case, what about welcoming the spirit back to the capital?" Su Du's words made Zhou Juren frown slightly, and then Zhou Juren calculated: "It is already the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is still half a month away from the capital. , before coming here, my mother once told me that I would take care of it. If anything happens, there is no reason to bring the coffin to Beijing and make the family sad."

In this way, he was going to continue placing the coffin in the nunnery. This was something Su Du had not thought of. Aunt Li was already looking at Zhou Juren: "Four Masters, before the girl died, she told me that she wanted to Return to the capital and be buried next to grandma."

Zhou Le was still an unmarried daughter. It was common for unmarried daughters to be buried next to their mothers. However, Zhou Juren looked at Aunt Li and said, "The elders have the final say on this matter. How can a junior say so?" That’s the last word.”

Aunt Li could imagine that the Zhou family was indifferent to Zhou Le, but she did not expect to be so indifferent to Zhou Le, so Aunt Li looked at Zhou Juren, speechless.

Su Du didn't expect that the Zhou family would be like this. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's cold and it's not easy to walk on this road. It's better to find a piece of land nearby and bury it temporarily, and then move the grave later." .”

Since he was very particular about being laid to rest, Su Du's idea was considered normal. Unexpectedly, Zhou Juren still shook his head: "If we bury it and move the grave, it will inevitably cause more trouble."

, it would be better to leave it in the nunnery, give them a few more taels of silver, and take the coffin back later. "
