Chapter 979: Asking for help

Mama Wang is not a patient person, she couldn't stand it after staying in the inn for a long time, and urged the round-faced mother-in-law and the thin woman to hurry up to find out the news, but they were not familiar with the life in Xiangcheng, and the only ones who were slightly familiar with it were the subordinates of the Lan family, as well as the ten dark shoots who also came out of the Medicine King Valley.

The Lan family is nowhere to be found, and the shadows are too busy to see anyone, where can they go to find out the news?

It seems feasible to go to the vicinity of Lan's house and ask the neighbors, but what identity can be used?

"Why don't we pretend to be a mother and daughter and come to the Lan family to join our relatives?" The round-faced mother-in-law thought for a long time, and finally came up with a way.

Mama Wang felt dissatisfied, but she couldn't make any good suggestions, so she had to agree to the round-faced mother-in-law and the skinny woman pretending to be mother and daughter and go to the vicinity of Lan's house to inquire about the news.

In the afternoon of the same day, a mother and daughter, dressed very plainly, came to the door of the blue house and knocked on the door, and the new gatekeeper opened the door, and after talking to them, he shook his head and closed the door.

Some neighbors in the neighborhood looked at it curiously, and some people waved at the mother and daughter in a friendly way.

The mother and daughter came to the mother-in-law, who beckoned them to sit, and before they could sit down, they could not wait to speak. "Old sister, are you here to find relatives?"

"Yes!" the round-faced old lady coughed, took a sip of the tea given by her mother-in-law, "came to my old sister, but her family said that she was not at home." ”

"Are you a relative of Old Lady Song?"

"Yes, speaking of which, I haven't seen my old sister's son since she died. I heard that her daughter-in-law was also gone, and her wife was also gone, so she took her grandson out to wander the world, and thought that she would never hear her news again in this life, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, she asked people to send a letter back to their hometown, and I only then knew that their grandchildren settled in Xiangcheng. ”

The mother-in-law smiled when she heard this, "It turns out that Mrs. Song's son, daughter-in-law and husband have all passed away!

The mother-in-law's eyes lit up, and then she looked at the mother and daughter who came to look for someone, although they were dressed plainly, it could be seen that they were the materials that people with a little foundation in the family could afford.

"Old sister! Your daughter is really a sign of her birth!

"Isn't it just for her?" said the mother, who told her daughter's sadness, "Her aunt was a fellow in the biggest shop in our city, he was born well, he was clever, and his mouth was sweet, and he said that he would marry in October." Who knew that in August, he let the girl who came to the city as a guest take a fancy to her, and the girl's family can be regarded as a rich party, so the boy accepted this family, and my girl ...... Some people like to see other people's jokes, and we can't stay at home, so we came to Xiangcheng to find my old sister to relax. ”

The mother-in-law snorted when she heard this, slapped her thigh with her right palm, and said, "Isn't that what the old sister said?

"That's right!" the mother looked at her daughter distressedly, and said, "I originally brought her to my old sister, but I also wanted to ask her to help see if I could find another family for her. ”

"Isn't it?" the mother-in-law asked again, "But Old Lady Song is not here, where are you going to rest?"

"Let's find an inn first!" the round-faced mother-in-law sighed, and the mother-in-law said, "How expensive the guest house is!" Let me tell you, we are next door, and the house was rented out before, but there are still two vacant rooms left, do you want to rent it, you live here, Mrs. Song comes home, you will know immediately!"

Seems to make a lot of sense.

The round-faced mother-in-law asked about the situation carefully, only to know that the New Year was approaching, and the nearby neighbors had relatives returning from afar, and the guest house was indeed expensive, and the neighbors had their hometowns outside the city, and they had to go back to spend the New Year with the elderly, and the houses in the city were empty, so it was better to rent them out to earn some rent, and it was good to supplement the family.

This is the case in the house that the mother-in-law is talking about.

The round-faced mother-in-law exchanged glances with the thin woman pretending to be her daughter, they had come to inquire about the news, and the good and bad things were close to them, especially the little Wang Mama who was waiting for them to go back in the inn every day.

For this one, both of them are very helpless, she doesn't do anything, stays in the inn all day and waits for them to go back, as soon as she sees them, she keeps complaining, and the content is also very simple, nothing more than blaming them for not going back early, making her very boring to stay alone, and blaming them for not doing things well, and not hearing any useful news.

If you want a round-faced woman to say, since she is capable, why don't she go out herself? But people are not willing to go out in person, what can they say?

"We're already staying at the inn, so we won't rent another room. The round-faced mother-in-law thought about it and politely declined the mother-in-law's proposal.

If they are really Mrs. Song's acquaintances, it is naturally best to live nearby, and as soon as they come back, they can immediately go to the door, so that they can live in the Lan family, and they may save a lot of money! However, they and Mrs. Song have never met at all, and if they really want to live so close, as soon as Mrs. Song comes back, they will be exposed.

The mother-in-law rarely has the opportunity to make extra money, how can she let them go easily, and then the round-faced mother-in-law said, "Don't hide it from the old sister, our guest house is the money of an old sister in our fellow township, she knows that we are going to come to Xiangcheng to join the family, she came with us, she is here to find her son, but her son went out with the cargo team, she and her daughter-in-law are not in harmony, do not want to live in their house, so live in the inn." ”

The mother-in-law said disapprerovingly, "It's nothing! I'll help you talk to the landlord and ask her to move a bigger room for you, one for your mother and daughter, and one for your old sister. ”

The round-faced mother-in-law's face darkened, "If you can, I want to too!" It's just that my old sister is a big temper, two days ago in the inn, thinking of her daughter-in-law, she was so angry that she smashed all the furnishings in the house, I don't want her to come to rent a house around here, and turn around to spread some rumors to my Song sisters' ears. ”

The mother-in-law finally figured it out at this time, and the old lady Song and the mother-in-law and the fellow townsman were not in harmony, so the mother-in-law didn't want the townsman to live here, lest the old lady Song come back and know that the person and her own house were only separated by a wall, and she was angry with this mother-in-law.

Alas, why is it so hard to make some extra money!

Because of the mother-in-law, the round-faced mother-in-law, mother and daughter talked to the neighbors again, and soon inquired about a lot of things.

For example, Lan Wang was an apprentice in a pharmacy in the city, and Dr. Bai, who sat down, valued him very much.

Some people say that Yuan Ershao has a problem with his eyes, if he really wants to be good friends with Doctor Bai, then he should also marry Doctor Bai's granddaughter, how can he marry his granddaughter?

This problem, not only people outside are talking about it, but the Bai family also has a lot of complaints, Bai sister-in-law and concubine both have daughters, such a good thing fell on the daughter of the sister-in-law who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and they were also very disgusting! But the second young man of the Yuan family will take a fancy to the cloud butterfly, because she was invited by Miss Xie to go to Yuecheng to live in a small place, because Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Yuan Zhuang were friendly, and were taken to Yuanjiazhuang, so they fell into Yuan Ershao's eyes, and then wanted to marry her as a wife.

The round-faced mother-in-law didn't know why, and when she heard these people guessing wildly, she couldn't help but feel suffocated.

The relationship between this granddaughter and granddaughter is a little different, and the granddaughter is not surnamed Bai, she is married to a high family, and the relatives of the Bai family want to get wet, but it is not so easy.

The neighbors of the Lan family were talking about it, and it seemed that they had completely forgotten about Lan Forget and Mrs. Song, and the round-faced woman saw that the topic couldn't be turned back, so she had to smile bitterly with the thin woman and find a chance to slip away.

Back at the inn, the dark shoots just came back, and they met with them, and the dark shoots came to talk to the two of them, and the round-faced woman glanced at the thin woman, and asked in a low voice, "Just leave Mama Wang like this, is it done?"

"Why not?" the thin woman laughed, "Don't worry, Mama Wang is delicate and expensive, we can handle these trivial things, let's do it ourselves! ”

Since someone has made up their minds, the round-faced mother-in-law is also relieved, the two went to their house with the shadows, and after everyone exchanged news, the round-faced mother-in-law and the thin woman knew that the grandchildren of the old lady Song were staying in the Li family, and as for the people of the Lan family, the shadows suspected that they were still in the Lan family, but they couldn't get in.

I wanted to cooperate with Mama Wang, but the old woman was a nonsense person, and she couldn't figure out her situation!

The round-faced mother-in-law heard the dark head say that they wanted to cooperate with them, and they were still a little confused, and when they learned that the Lan family's subordinates might still be in the Lan family, they understood their plans.

This seems to be the same as their intentions, and they agreed to it without much thought.

The next day, they changed their costumes and came to the Lan family again, this time the porter did not block them, but led them in, and there was an old lady Song sitting in the main room, the round-faced woman and the thin woman came to the Lan family before, and they had seen the old lady Song, so it was certain that the one in front of them was the old lady Song.

Didn't she say she was in the Li Mansion?

"You're here to apply for a job as a cook?"

"Yes. Hearing this, the round-faced mother-in-law hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, my craft is ancestral, and I don't dare to say anything about the dishes on the side, but I can handle the dishes of our Nanchu." ”

"Oh, let's try it!" and then asked them to take them down to try the dishes.

The round-faced woman's cooking skills are really good, and after Mrs. Song tried the dishes she cooked, she left people behind, and the thin woman, as her apprentice, naturally followed.

The mother-in-law who led them to their residence was a face-to-face, not someone they had seen before, and the round-faced mother-in-law and the thin woman were settled down before discussing in a whisper.

"I see, all the people waiting in this house are newcomers. ”

"Didn't Gao Tou'er say that there are two new families in this house to look at the door. "That's what the shadows told them.

"If those subordinates of the Lan family are not taken out, then, can they be locked up there?" asked the round-faced woman.

The thin woman thought for a moment and said, "I remember that there were two rows of houses on the edge of the kitchen storeroom, and you say, will they be locked up there?"

"But it's close to the neighbor's house, and if there's a little movement, the neighbor will find out and lock people up there, okay?"

They don't know, they don't want people to find out, they can point to people's dumb holes, so that no matter how the people who are pointed out yell, they won't make a sound, besides, the crane guards sent by Li Qianqian this time are all strong in martial arts, and they want to let a few ordinary people avoid people's eyes and ears and not be discovered.

The two of them did not tell Mama Wang where they were, so Mama Wang was a little anxious when she found out that they had not seen anyone after two days of darkness.

She is alone, and she has a powerful mouth, and it is useless to really ask her to do things.

So when she is in a hurry, her mind is blind, and her actions are disorderly.

As soon as the morning dawned, she called someone to prepare a car and sent her to the Lan family.

The concierge of the Lan family didn't know her, and she didn't come to apply for a cook, oh, the cook already has someone, a mother-in-law who comes to the door with a straight face to find trouble, and the porter will let her in if she is stupid.

ran into a wall at the door, Mama Wang jumped to her feet in anger, but as soon as the porter closed the door, it was none of his business to let you make a noise outside.

The previous child was enthusiastic about renting a house to the mother-in-law with a round face, but now facing Mama Wang, the cold air on her face can really freeze to death, Mama Wang is already angry, seeing them come to see the excitement, the anger is rising up, the two sides look at each other unpleasantly, and quarrel without saying a word.

Mama Wang was weak, and after a few strokes, she was squeezed so red that her face turned red, and finally fled in embarrassment.

The mother-in-law and the sons cheered loudly after their victory, and saw the door of the Lan family open, and the porter came out with a tea tray to thank them, and there were many small purses on the tea tray, "Come on, come on, thank you, one person takes a purse, my old lady thank you neighbors, please drink tea." ”

The mother-in-law took the lead and stepped forward, and after taking a purse, she stepped aside, and when everyone stepped forward to take the purse, she whispered to the porter, "Is the old lady okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you neighbors for your help, it's all said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! Sure enough, when this happens, our old lady will thank you all the neighbors again. ”

In the past, when I saw how respectful those people were to the old lady and your master, I couldn't imagine that they had such a vicious side. The mother-in-law sighed.

The porter also sighed, "Who said it wasn't? Otherwise, our family leader would not be worried about the old lady's ancestors and grandchildren, and specially sent us over to help." ”

Li Qianqian not only sent the crane guards over, but also sent the pigeon guards over to get close to the neighbors, and told them all about the fact that Mrs. Song was almost killed by those white-eyed wolf subordinates at home.

People are sympathetic to the weak, Mrs. Song is an old man with a little grandson to live, maybe her family has the money to buy someone to help do things, everyone looks hot, but knowing that she was almost killed, everyone is indignant, thinking that she is an old lady, the most kind person who treats people on weekdays, those who are usually treated well by her, do not care about her good, intent to murder her, want to rob her family wealth?!

The pigeon guards are the best at finding out the news, so that after they listened to the words, they felt something about what happened to Mrs. Song, and for the pigeon guards, it was just a small skill of carving insects.

The concierge was also born in a pigeon guard, and rewarding everyone with a purse made the neighbors angry with each other, thinking that they helped Mrs. Song stop those people who came to find those white-eyed wolves, which was really a great achievement!

Mama Wang didn't know what the porter did after she left in embarrassment, but she didn't even want to get close to the Lan family later! She was so angry, but she couldn't pull her face and go back to Zhuangzi to find someone to help, so she could only find help from the shadows.

The dark shoots still need the round-faced mother-in-law to help!

In the end, Mama Wang was forced to run out of options, so she could only go back to Zhuangzi to find someone to help her.
