085 Cover-up
The concubine was looking for money and was full of sweat, her little face was flushed, and when she heard what Mrs. Chai said when she entered the house, her face suddenly turned into a Guan Gong.
"Mother--I haven't found it yet, I'll look for it again. The concubine smiled dryly, maybe the original owner's family was delicate and hid everything tightly. After all, she hadn't dug the rat hole yet, the hole in the corner wall hadn't been picked yet, and the search was not thorough enough, so she couldn't decide whether she was taking the money to make up for her mother's house, so she put this hat on her head first.
She already has too many real and fake hats on her little head, and she can't stand smashing them again.
Moreover, even if the original owner really took it to supplement her mother's family, she would have money as soon as the mink caught by Chai Rong came back, and it would not be easy to get some small money from there - of course, the premise was that Gu Yaozu and Gu Jingshu, the two siblings, had successfully sold the mink.
How many years has Mrs. Chai lived, she was happy to become a sperm, and the concubine had an embarrassed expression, and she immediately knew what was going on.
"Ami, don't you say that it's bad for you to miss your mother's family, after all, your father has three children, and it's embarrassing enough. You help when you have plenty of money, and I, as a mother-in-law, also think that I should do it, and you have filial piety...... But,"
Guifei Mo, I know that the point is coming.
"You also have to take care of the small family first, you can't have any money left in your hands, like today, in case of an emergency, it's good to have our old couple to help you, and when we are gone, which brother and sister have money, it is better to have it in your own pocket. ”
The concubine couldn't imagine that Mrs. Chai was raised high and fell down gently, so she couldn't just say that the money was not subsidized, just waiting for Gu Jingshu to make up for the mink, and she had the money to make up for it and then explain to Mrs. Chai, at least with a good attitude.
"I know Mother," she stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Chai's arm, smiling skillfully: "Mother and father are both living a long life, Shiro and I will live a good life in the future, and we will definitely honor your second elder." ”
Vomit!
Mu Dun'er has never suffered this. Goosebumps immediately covered my body.
Why, he's cheap, and he's fighting, don't you want to be so flattering!?
His fragile little heart might as well keep letting him see her hideous side. Shyness and coquettishness are not suitable for her!
Mrs. Chai was also a little surprised. The four daughters-in-law of her family have always been a stuffy gourd, you say that you have a bad heart, you must not have a bad heart, she is still a good girl, or she would not have been able to get people into the door of the Chai family with a clear conscience.
But she didn't know if Gu Xunmei was resentful in her heart, or if she was a person who pretended to do everything in her heart. People who don't like to express themselves have always been respectful to their old couples, and they are not close enough.
Not to mention holding arms and coquettish like today, giving the old couple a smile, they are enough to comfort the old man for many days.
"Stop tossing and turning, wake Shiro up again. Old Lady Chai sighed, took out a blue coarse cloth money bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into the concubine's hand. "Go to the set, I still have thirty wen left here - it seems that it is left for you - hurry up and return it to the Zhou family's aunt, don't let people think that our family can't even get the money for medical treatment." ”
"Don't tell your sister-in-law and sister-in-law," the old lady suddenly lowered her voice: "Just say you're looking for it!"
The concubine's heart suddenly warmed, and then she realized that Mrs. Chai didn't come over to see if she could find the money. Instead, I thought that she might have given it to her mother's family and secretly sent her money.
It's rare to have a mother's heart, for the stupid son of Shiro, she coaxed her daughter-in-law in every way, who was not a good girl. Although she was not right-minded at the beginning, she may not have experienced it herself, so she can't hate it now, but she realized her difficulties from the other side.
"Thank you, mother. The concubine was not cowardly, but with some humble humility, she put the money away and returned it back in a hurry.
"I still have to trouble my sister-in-law's Ah Wu to go and beg him to send it to Aunt Zhou. If it weren't for Shiro's illness today. I won't ride last week's aunt's donkey cart...... After all, the previous relationship made people say good things and bad things, but I heard that fever can kill people, so I was in a hurry. Didn't bother with those. ”
She continued: "It's just that now it's inconvenient for me to go over, which makes people look bad, and besides, Shiro pushed Aunt Zhou in the infirmary for a while, I'm afraid that she hasn't dissipated her anger yet, and then she will say something unpleasant in front of the villagers." ”
According to common sense, she should thank her in person, after all, Zhou Mu was reluctant to take out the money to solve her urgent need. But she knew that the reason why Zhou's mother paid the money was purely to prevent Zhou Xianrong from borrowing her money, for fear that the two of them would be involved and hook up again and again.
Based on Zhou's mother's psychology, she can't wait for Gu Xunmei to get out of Osmanthus Village, and the concubine naturally won't go up to talk about herself and leave people in vain.
"It's for the best. Mrs. Chai said she was very satisfied with her handling of the situation: "Our relationship is still a little awkward...... Let Ah Wu run today, and when we meet one day, I will personally thank her. ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out as they spoke, but Mrs. Chai suddenly raised her voice:
"I also forgot to remind you, you forgot all the things before, so naturally you don't know that you have money to spare - just find it, send it to others quickly, don't say it like our family can't get the money, and make people laugh. ”
This was obviously said to the people in the front yard to cover her up.
The concubine hurriedly admitted her mistake with a smile, holding Mrs. Chai's arm is all kinds of apologies, Chai's second sister-in-law snorted coldly when she saw her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming out of the backyard arm in arm, and she didn't say hello, she turned her head and muttered in her ear with Sister-in-law Chai for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"Sister-in-law," the concubine stepped forward with a smile, "Ah Wu has entered the house?" I want him to help me run to Zhou's house and ask him to send the money to Aunt Zhou." ”
After Chai's sister-in-law finished choosing the dishes, she was about to wash it by the well, when she heard the concubine speak, she nodded yes again and again, pulled her neck and shouted to the West House: "Ah Wu, come out and help your fourth aunt run errands!"
After a short time, Chai Wu ran out, took the money handed over by the concubine and ran away.
The front yard performed its own duties, and they were all busy, and the concubine hurriedly rolled up her arms and sleeves and took the initiative to wash the dishes with Sister-in-law Chai.
Although Sister-in-law Chai has a lot of criticism for the concubine because of the New Year's painting doll, she has never been like Chai's second sister-in-law who can't get off the stage in public, at most her face is not good-looking, she doesn't love to help her get out as much as she used to, and she has never secretly stumbled and insinuated to say something inconsequential.
The concubine has nothing to do in the palace to play is to plot people's hearts, but she can see it most clearly, if she lets Sister-in-law Chai go, maybe she will let Sister-in-law Chai go to the same front, and it will not be Sister-in-law Chai who will be isolated and excluded at that time, but her.
A group of spectators in the village will also think that she is wonderful, and she can't even fight for a second sister-in-law - the concubine really can't swallow this breath, people live a breath, and they also live a skin, and their reputation and face still have to be taken care of.
"Ami," Sister-in-law Chai endured a few endurances, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice with her hand in the vegetable basin: "You have reconciled with the county commander, are you okay?"
"It's been okay for a long time, he's just a little kid, and he is pressed by the county magistrate, and he won't bully the people with his authority. ”
The concubine hurriedly fed a relieved pill, knowing that the family was curious about how the New Year's painting doll sent her back in person, in order to prevent Chai Er's sister-in-law from adding oil and vinegar to the outside arrangement, she simply told Hang Yuqing and Chai Rong how they met and how they beat people again, only to change them back and drive them home with a donkey cart.
-- The second sister-in-law of fire prevention, theft and firewood, for her, the concubine also fought hard.
However, the concubine said that it was better not to say it, and before she said it, Sister-in-law Chai could comfort herself in various ways Regardless of why, the donkey cart of the county commander drove into the village, which is a signal of super reconciliation, but as soon as the facts are said, her heart is cool and cool.
It's not enough to be beaten, it's really like what she said in the village, 'see once and beat once', not the slightest bit of adulteration.
Is this a mortal feud, or what?
