New widow

And the news that her father should not marry her could not be hidden from her. When Suqiao thought back, she seemed to see her mother, from a blooming flower, to withering gradually, and finally falling off the branches, yet still being told that it would be better to die, but it would be troublesome if she were still alive.

"She suffered a lot." Suqiao said softly, and Mrs. Wan's tears fell: "And you also suffered a lot, right?"

Suqiao couldn't answer yes or no. She just looked at Mrs. Wan and said, "Those things are in the past."

"I often wonder, if we could see you earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much." Old Mrs. Wan asked herself and answered: "No, the Kuang family will not give you to us."

Wan is the daughter-in-law of the Kuang family's Ming matchmaker. Even if the Kuang family feels that Suqiao is a drag, they still have to raise Suqiao for the sake of Master Kuang's reputation. Suqiao snuggled into Old Mrs. Wan's arms: "Grandma, don't think so much, just go to sleep, I'll stay with you."

"I don't want you to be so sensible, and I don't want you to..." Old Mrs. Wan reached out and touched Suqiao's face: "I just hope that you can be like Wan'er and act coquettishly with me."

Suqiao had not heard such words for many years, but Suqiao still held back tears: "I know."

"Then stay by my side and have a good sleep." When Mrs. Wan lay down, she still held Suqiao's hand. Suqiao leaned on Mrs. Wan's shoulder. Mrs. Wan said softly: "Don't say anything else. , there is no care in this world. Qiaoer, I care about you."

Suqiao hummed, and Mrs. Wan held Suqiao's hand tighter. Suqiao felt her eyes were wet again. In this world

, there are still people who care about me, this is a wonderful thing.

Old Mrs. Wan closed her eyes and fell into sleep as she listened to her granddaughter's gentle breathing beside her. Don't think about anything, just sleep like this, just like every grandmother in this world who loves her granddaughter.

Suqiao was awakened by Aunt Wan's voice. When she sat up, Suqiao didn't know where she was for a moment. This was not Suqiao's house, and the things she used were not Suqiao's.

The door curtain had been lifted, and Wan'er walked in with a smile: "Sister, you're awake."

"I also said, who is talking outside." When Wan'er heard Suqiao say this, she stepped forward and took her hand: "I woke up this morning and saw it, and I was shocked. Why did my sister come over to sleep with my grandmother? ."

"Why, your sister is not allowed to sleep with me?" Mrs. Wan's voice sounded outside. Wan'er turned around and saw Mrs. Wan's smiling face. Wan'er said hurriedly: "It's not that my sister is not allowed to sleep with my grandmother, I just think it's a bit strange."

"Why is that weird?" Suqiao picked up the comb to comb her hair, and Wan'er nodded her chin, thinking for a long time before saying, "My sister is very nice, I know, but my sister usually doesn't seem to get too close to others."

"You kid, what are you talking about?" Aunt Wan also walked in with a smile, holding face wash in her hand: "Your sister is dignified, and I want you to learn from your sister's dignity. "

"Mom!" Wan'er called out coquettishly. Aunt Wan had already put the washing water aside and smiled at Suqiao: "Today, I, the aunt, will wash your face for you."

"Auntie, how did this happen?

"Suqiao stood up in a hurry, and Aunt Wan pushed Suqiao down and said, "If you were a child and came home, wouldn't it be me who would serve you? Today, just treat yourself like a child and don't worry about anything. He should be hurt by us. "

"Mom, if you love my sister, don't you want me anymore?" Wan'er grabbed Aunt Wan's arm and was about to act like a baby. Aunt Wan spat at her: "Bah, you are like this, how can I still love you?"

"Mom!" Wan'er called out reluctantly, and Suqiao also smiled, but this smile was a little different from before, with a bit of relief. In this world, there are still many people who care about you, so don’t easily say that you don’t care about them.

After washing up and having breakfast, the man sent by Yu Yulan had already come to say goodbye. Suqiao took out the written letter, gave the man a few words, rewarded him with a tael of silver, and sent him away. The man accepted the reward, kowtowed to Suqiao to thank him, accepted two bottles of wine from Manager Wu, and went away happily.

"That Mrs. Eleven, I used to hate her." After this person left, Nanny Wu couldn't help but say with emotion. Suqiao couldn't help but look at her: "Why do I still hate her?"

"If it weren't for her, there are some things that Mr. Eleven wouldn't be able to do." What Nanny Wu said was true, and Su Qiao also smiled: "She was also deceived. Just think about it, if someone adopts You, being so kind to you, and marrying you to his son, are you going to be devoted to him only?"

"Isn't that what we women are like? When you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you will follow the dog!" Aunt Wu said smoothly, thinking about what she had just said, her face turned red.

Liu Lanhua has already walked in, with a

Taking some work: "Madam, I have thought about it. I will pay you back the 40 taels of silver while I slowly make needlework."

"Girl, what are you talking about? These 40 taels of silver, even if you are blind, it will still take you three or four years to save that much money." Liu Lanhua's face was filled with a look on Wu Lanhua's face when she said these words. Hong, then Liu Lanhua said: "Then I will write a personal contract to the lady. Then I will follow the lady and never marry again."

"It's not good to write a personal deed. Besides, the people around me are good enough." Liu Lanhua's surname is Liu. Her mother is still in prison, let alone the Liu family. If they heard that the Liu family doesn't want Liu Lanhua, , I am afraid that she will also come to ask Liu Lanhua to go back. After all, a grown-up daughter can be married off in exchange for a betrothal gift. Who is willing to leave such a betrothal gift money in someone else's home?

Liu Lanhua's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard Su Qiao say this: "Madam, I have nowhere to go."

"Don't worry, don't worry, the Liu family hasn't said anything yet." Seeing this, Aunt Wu hurriedly comforted Liu Lanhua. Liu Lanhua shook her head: "Even if the Liu family is willing to marry me, it will be troublesome for my mother to come out in the future. Son, let alone..." Liu Lanhua thought about it again and again, and found that there really was no place where she could live a stable life except Suqiao.

"Coming, coming!" Du's voice suddenly came, with a bit of joy. Grandma Wu also stopped talking and looked outside. Then Grandma Wu laughed: "You still said you have nowhere to go. , now, the place is here." It turns out that not only Liu Daniu came outside, but also the matchmaker that day. Not only that, she also brought a few gifts. Since she came with gifts, she didn't want to come here.

Withdrawal from engagement.

Liu Lanhua was stunned for a moment, and then saw Du Shi walking in happily: "Lanhua, get out quickly, I have something good to tell you."
