New widow

"Your uncle came back yesterday and said that someone he knew well came to inquire about Wan'er that day." Aunt Wan said slowly, and Mrs. Wan patted Aunt Wan's hand: "I know you can't let go of Wan'er, but this daughter , how can I stay at home for the rest of my life?"

If you could stay at home for a lifetime, there would be less sorrow and pain in this world. Mrs. Wan's voice was also choked with sobs. Wan'er hurriedly took her grandmother's arm and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, I will live a good life no matter when."

"Yes, we can't let you marry far away." Mrs. Wan only said this. Suqiao knew that Mrs. Wan must be thinking of her mother, and Suqiao would inevitably think of Mrs. Chu again, so Suqiao said softly: "Today The lady who came here is from the Qiu family."

Qiu family? Aunt Wan then remembered. Just as she was about to say something, Sister Song ran in from outside: "Madam, please go and take a look. Aunt Liu is holding Mrs. Chu to prevent her from leaving."

"How did she know?" Suqiao was shocked by the news. Sister Song shook her head: "I don't know either."

Suqiao didn't have time to ask any more questions, so she walked out with Sister Song. After walking a few steps, she heard Aunt Liu crying: "Niece, niece, you can't ignore me. Right now, my It’s just you I’m counting on.”

Suqiao saw Chu Zhixian standing there with a very ugly face, and Mrs. Chu's pink face was already covered with sweat. She wanted to pull the sleeves off Aunt Liu's hands, but she was worried that she would pull Aunt Liu and fall. After all, Aunt Liu is her aunt, this is a fact.

"Let me go first. If you have anything to say, wait until I have someone take you to the post house tomorrow and then say it slowly, okay?" Mrs. Chu could only persuade Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu cried harder and harder: "I won't let you go. If I let go, you will leave, just like them all. Where else will I go to find you?"

Should it be said or not, what Aunt Liu said was right. Mrs. Chu had never thought of taking Aunt Liu back. After all, Mrs. Chu also knew this girl's temperament. Seeing more and more people gathered around her, Mrs. Chu wanted to ask people to drive them away. However, since this place was not far from the Qiu family's village, there were probably many people who knew her. The husband's reputation is a big deal.

"Hurry up and let go." Su Qiao shouted when she saw this. When she heard Su Qiao's voice, Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief. When Aunt Liu saw Su Qiao coming over, her hand relaxed a little, but she still She didn't let go completely, but just cried to Suqiao: "Ms. Kuang, in that big house, you ate oil and wore silk. How could you know the hardships of people like us? Originally, I had a daughter, so I hope My daughter and son-in-law support me, and now my daughter and son-in-law are gone, so I finally met my niece, so I can only rely on my niece to support me."

"Since you know that your daughter and son-in-law can't support you, then your niece can't support you even more." Su Qiao said coldly. Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard this. Mrs. Chu took the opportunity to pull her sleeve from Aunt Liu's hand. When he came out, he hurriedly got on the sedan and said to Su Qiao, "Thank you so much, Madam Kuang. I'll come back tomorrow to say thank you." After saying that, Mrs. Chu ordered the sedan to be lifted up quickly, and Magistrate Chu also got on. They left in a sedan chair surrounded by people.

"My hope!" Aunt Liu screamed in pain, as if she was chasing the sedan. Su Qiao helplessly said to Little Sister Song: "Hurry up and bring her to our house. She is making such a fuss now, look. It’s not good.”

Little Sister Song responded hurriedly and stepped forward to grab Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu still kept crying. Only then did Mrs. Li Zheng dare to step forward and said to Su Qiao: "Ms. Kuang, it's all my fault. Just now." , when I came out of this house, someone asked me, and I said casually that my niece of the Qiu family, who was married to a scholar, was back. I didn’t expect that she listened and stopped me from leaving. "

"Although she has become an official's wife now, she is still my niece." Aunt Liu said this to death, and Suqiao couldn't help but sneer: "Niece? It also depends on whether others are willing to recognize you."

When these words came out, Aunt Liu didn't say anything, but Suqiao was stunned for a moment. How could she say such a sentence? It was like this sentence had been in Suqiao's heart for a long, long time, so long that Suqiao didn't want to remember it. .

After hearing Su Qiao's words, Aunt Liu thought for a long time before she wanted to answer. But seeing Su Qiao standing there, Aunt Liu didn't dare to speak. After all, Su Qiao seemed to have a good temper, but when she got angry, Aunt Liu It's something I've learned.

Seeing Aunt Liu following Su Qiao in, Aunt Wu couldn't help curling her lips. When she entered the main room, Su Qiao didn't need to say anything. Aunt Liu was about to kneel down for Su Qiao. Su Qiao stopped her and said, "My name is When you came in, I didn’t ask you to kneel down for me, so that you wouldn’t be embarrassed there.”

"Me, I want to live a better life for the rest of my life!" Aunt Liu said tremblingly. Suqiao looked at her and remained silent for a long time. This made Aunt Liu more and more panicked, and Ruo Suqiao was really angry. , if Li Zheng kicks him out, does he really have to live in a ruined temple?

So Mrs. Liu stepped forward on her knees: "Madam, madam, it's all my fault. I just saw my niece and felt happy in my heart, so I said those words. I also know that I am not worthy of being her aunt, and I am not worthy of letting her." Elderly care." As she said this, Aunt Liu started to cry, and Suqiao sighed softly: "Get up, I know it's difficult for you, but no matter how difficult it is for you, it's not as difficult as the orchid. As long as you think about the orchid even a little bit, you won't To put orchids in that situation.”

"I, I..." Aunt Liu was unable to argue at this time and only said these two words, while Suqiao said calmly: "Look at your niece now wearing gold and silver, making slaves and calling maids, she is an official wife. . So thinking of seeking refuge with her is actually human nature."

Hearing the words "human nature", Aunt Liu couldn't help but be shocked. She knew that what Su Qiao said after that must be about her fault. Sure enough, she heard Su Qiao whisper softly: "But you also have to know that when she married Chu When I was the magistrate, what kind of person was Chu Zhixian? He seemed to be boiling over oil. After so many years, his husband became the magistrate. It was considered an honorable return to his hometown. You should bring honor to her face instead of losing her face. .”

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Qiu family is in a state of turmoil at the moment. Wang Shangshu’s anger is all directed at the Du family and the Qiu family. The Du family are good people no matter how you say it. Even though they were driven out, the things given by the Shangshu Mansion in those years I also took it back, but I still have the money accumulated over the years. When times change, I can tidy up, buy a few acres of land, open a shop, and do a small business, and I will naturally be able to survive.
