Chapter 17: Anger
Niu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then became a little annoyed: "What do you mean by Mrs. In-law? How old is Sister Sang? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I and the old man are still alive, and we need the Guan family to worry about Sister Sang's marriage?
Mama Tiger said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the death of the eldest grandmother makes them afraid." ”
Niu Shi spat at the ground: "I'm still wronged! Brother Ping's daughter-in-law and Sister Sang have suffered, but the old man and I are not biased to help the surname He." The surname He wants to make hob meat, and we don't plan to be soft, but we have never disregarded the truth of granddaughter's life and death for the sake of our grandson. Although I was sick, I also comforted Brother Ping's daughter-in-law for a long time, persuading her to look away, hoping that Sister Sang would get better? If it really can't get better, I will personally make the decision and pass Brother Zi'er to her as a son. If she is not happy, then prepare a dowry for her, and marry her like a daughter, and she will never be without results for the rest of her life. I even took out the deed at the bottom of the box and gave it to her, she didn't want it herself, and said that she would be filial to our old couple for a lifetime. At that time, who would have thought that within a few days, she would hang herself! Who can I blame? She is all dead, leaving Sister Sang alone, I don't say that she is ruthless and does not want children, the Guan family blames us for letting his daughter hang herself?!"
Niu Shi complained angrily, and his breath was not smooth for a while, and he coughed. Mama Tiger hurriedly patted her back and stroked her chest, and when she was relieved, she poured tea for her and persuaded, "Don't be angry, wife." The in-laws didn't seem to blame our family, but she just felt that the second grandmother had a mean temperament, and she was afraid that Sister Sang would suffer her losses in the future. Although Sister Sang is still protected by her husband and wife, she is not afraid that there will be anything bad about marriage in the future, but even if the girl gets married, her mother's family will not be able to support her. Sister Sang has only one brother, Brother Zi'er, and she was born to the second grandmother. If she meets an unkind person who bullies Sister Sang without her mother's brother to protect her, what can she do if she is angry? The wife of the in-law family thinks that if Sister Sang marries back to the Guan family, even if there is no brother, no one will be angry with her. ”
Niu's face looked a little better, but he was still very disapproving: "If the wife of the in-laws really has a heart, it will be the same to ask the children and grandchildren to take care of Sister Sang more in the future." If the grandfather's family is tough, it can also support the girl who marries. Besides, Brother Zi'er is well-behaved, not the same as his mother, who said that he will not protect his sister in the future? The wife of the in-laws also thinks too much, her grandson is ordinary in everything, and he is honest and honest when he says it well, but he is mediocre and dull when he says it badly. Our Sister Sang has been clever since she was a child, and she was born well, and she is worthy of her grandson, but it is a waste!"
Mama Tiger smiled and said, "I think so too, but it's not good to tell my in-laws and wives like this in person, so I say that my lord and wife may not agree." The matter of engagement is still to be mentioned until the two children are older and their temperaments are stable. Otherwise, if they are engaged at a young age, if they grow up and the two can't get along, wouldn't it add a pair of resentful couples to the world? However, the wife of the in-laws seems to be very anxious, and has repeatedly said that the most worrying thing about the in-laws is this granddaughter, and the Guan family hopes that this matter will be settled as soon as possible, so that the in-laws can go on the road with peace of mind. ”
Niu Shi took another sip angrily: "I haven't seen my in-laws love Brother Ping's daughter-in-law very much before, and I also said that he favors his youngest daughter too much, and he has wronged Brother Ping's daughter-in-law more than once, but now he is a loving father." Could it be that the youngest daughter was too ridiculous, and he remembered the benefits of the eldest daughter? Anyway, Sister Sang is the granddaughter of our Qin family, and there is no reason to match her with someone casually in order to let her grandfather go on the road with peace of mind. If his grandson is really promising, it's just that, obviously he is an ordinary boy, and his family has a thin background, marrying Sister Sang over doesn't make the child suffer and suffer for the rest of his life? Although our Qin family will not be stingy with a dowry, we can't expect Sister Sang to use the dowry to support their family, right?"
She originally just said this casually, but suddenly paused, and looked at Mama Tiger suspiciously: "Could it be that the in-laws are really fighting this idea?"
It's still quite possible to think about it. The Guan family was poor in the early years, and they were able to make a fortune, firstly, they relied on Mr. Guan as a teacher, and secondly, they relied on the Qin family, an in-law, to help them. Now that the Guan family is dead, Old Man Guan can't hold on anymore, what will the Guan family rely on to make a living in the future? Although Uncle Guan has also studied with his father since he was a child, he is only a child, and he is not even a showman. Even if he succeeds Old Man Guan as a teacher, he can only teach a few Mengtongs, and his family will definitely gradually decline. If Uncle Guan can make a name for himself in the exam, then it's okay, the problem is that he is not this material!
If Sister Sang can be appointed as the future daughter-in-law, even if the Guan family is gone, the Qin family will have to pull the Guan family in front of their granddaughter. When Sister Sang got married and brought a rich dowry, the Guan family would naturally be able to rise again.
The more Niu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and his face became more and more difficult to look at.
Because the eldest daughter-in-law Guan was obedient, she didn't think much of the Guan family in the past, and she treated her in-laws politely and treated his family as an equal relative. But there are many irregularities in the Guan family, and she didn't look down on them, but she didn't say anything to give her eldest daughter-in-law face. Now that her eldest daughter-in-law is dead, she pities her granddaughter for being an orphan, and is willing to let Sister Sang get close to her family. But if the Guan family wants to fight Sister Sang'er for the sake of profit...... She couldn't bear it!
Niu Shi ordered Mama Hu: "Go to the small study and see, can the master get up from a nap?" If he does, invite him to come over and say that I have something important to discuss with him. ”
Mama Tiger took the order and left, and after a while, she invited Mr. Qin back.
Seeing his wife's solemn face, Mr. Qin couldn't help but get nervous when he saw his wife sitting cross-legged on the kang: "What's wrong?"
Niu Shi told the news that Mama Hu brought back, and then told his own speculation, and then said: "Do you think the Guan family thinks so? If his family really has this kind of idea, I will never let Sister Sang go to his house again in the future!"
Old Mr. Qin's expression also became serious, and after thinking about it, he shook his head lightly and said, "It shouldn't be ...... If the in-laws really can't hold on, the Guan family's school may not be as good as before, but it may not be in decline. Don't forget, there is also a Wu Shaoying in his family. Shaoying was appreciated by Suide Zhizhou, and he had already decided to make up for the official, but because of the illness of his father-in-law, he didn't go for a long time. The Guan family and Shaoying are close relatives, and they have great kindness to him, and with Shaoying as a person, they will definitely not abandon the Guan family. With the support of this relative, who in the county can underestimate the Guan family?"
Niu was stunned for a moment, how could she forget Wu Shaoying? But she immediately thought again: "What if the Wu family is born and the Guan family is in trouble? Don't you know, the youngest daughter of the Guan family is making a big fuss, what is it for?" She also told her husband the gossip news given by Qin Hanzhen.
This time, Mr. Qin was really surprised: "There is such a thing, strange that their family members are weird...... "He is a kind person, paused, didn't say anything, only coughed, "Shaoying is also helpless, this kind of thing is really not light, it can't be serious." Fortunately, the wife of the in-law family is an understanding person, and with her in charge, the second girl of the Guan family will definitely stop sooner or later. ”
"Even if it stops, there is this thorn between the two families, and the Wu family will not be as close to the Guan family as before. Niu said, "Besides, even if you have this relative, you are decent, but you can't get money." Those students who went to the annex of the Guan Family School were all going to the knowledge of their in-laws. My uncle doesn't have the ability to do this. If the master of the in-laws can't do it, can the school still be run? Even if it is not decent, just for the sake of future income, the Guan family may also have the idea of our sister Sang. ”
Mr. Qin said: "I still have the old saying, with Shaoying here, the Guan family can't be defeated." You may not know that Shaoying returned to his hometown this time and wandered in Suide Prefecture for several months in order to regain his family's ancestral property. When his parents died, the clansmen drove one of his orphans out of the village in order to swallow his ancestral property. Although he has not yet won the official position, he is already a prisoner, has a meritorious reputation, and has classmates to rely on, so he should ask his clan for his ancestral property. He now has a house, land, and money, but he is not publicized in Mizhi County. The Guan family understands in their hearts, but they don't calculate our Sister Sang for the sake of a dowry. Don't always think crankily and think too badly about your in-laws. ”
It's the first time Niu has heard about this, but his focus is a little biased: "It's weird, the second girl of the Guan family has to marry her cousin so desperately, it turns out that the Tu family has a reputation and a family business, and they still owe them the favor of the Guan family." What's so stupid about this girl?
Mr. Qin sighed: "Okay, don't think about these things anymore. The in-laws just feel sorry for their granddaughter. Go back and let Mama Tiger talk to her and tell her not to worry. Sister Sang has the two of us to protect her, and she won't be wronged. If you want to say kiss, you have to wait until the two children are older. I don't think my father-in-law would really make such a hasty and rude request. ”
Niu pouted and said, "Even if he mentions it, he can't agree." I can't agree when the child is older! Anyway, I won't marry Sister Sang to the Guan family. His family's tutoring is not good, Brother Ping's daughter-in-law is down, and his youngest daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. His family only shows off a male baby, God knows if he will be spoiled too? I am reluctant to ask Sister Sang to be angry with his family. If she marries another family, when Sister Sang is bullied, she can still count on her grandmother and uncle to support her. If she marries into the Guan family and is bullied by his grandson, Sister Sang will really have no way to ask for help, then it will be terrible!"
Old Mr. Qin's face was helpless: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you." Don't worry about that. You're not in good spirits, you should have a good night's sleep after lunch, what are you going to do here? Beware of another headache at night. Sleep quickly, I'll go to the lower courtyard to see the students, and I'll be back with you at dinner. ”
Niu pursed his lips and smiled: "Got it, don't be too tired." If those students are too stupid to teach no matter how they are, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with yourself. ”
Mr. Qin smiled while shaking his head helplessly, lifted the curtain and went out.
Mama Hu stepped forward to serve Niu's nap, and Niu was a little worried about her granddaughter, so she told Mama Hu: "Go and see if Sister Sang is asleep?" Let Mother Zhang prepare the medicine, and when Sister Sang wakes up, remember to let her eat." ”
Mama Hu agreed, and when Niu fell asleep, she withdrew from the main house and was about to go to the east wing, but when she saw Mama Zhang wandering in front of the house, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang's mother hesitated for a while, and then said: "My sister is asleep, but her medicine hasn't boiled yet, I can't get out of my body here, and I don't know what to do, so I have to ask my grandmother." ”
Mama Tiger looked inexplicable: "Since my sister has fallen asleep, you leave for a while and go to the kitchen to say hello, what's so difficult? Zhang's mother hurriedly responded.
In the evening, news came from the county town that Old Man Guan didn't hold on, and he swallowed his breath at the time of Shen Zheng.
