Chapter 244: Gossip

Zheng's face turned gray again after scolding, and she said: "There is nothing left in the Zhuangzi, I don't even have a place to live, and I am in prison in name, who can I rely on as a lonely old woman, I will not die for these two months, it is my fate." Although she hated Qiao Zhen, she also understood in her heart that Qiao Zhen was not sorry for the Liu family, but the Liu family was sorry for her, but Aunt Yang cut off her last way and left her to run away, how could she not hate, now she fell so miserably, it was all caused by Aunt Yang, otherwise she would not have become a beggar.

"Is he still in jail?" Qiaozhen asked Liu Mingyi, she really didn't know about Liu Mingyi's recent news, she didn't care, if she hadn't met Zheng today, she would have forgotten about this person.

Zheng glanced at Qiao Zhen and shook his head sadly, but didn't say anything.

Not in prison? Qiao Zhen frowned, he was released? Who helped him? How could he not come forward and let his wife beg on the street again.

"Since you don't want that pastry, and I don't force it, I don't think you can eat my stuff. Although you are pitiful now, but I can't sympathize with it, I think you also know why, what kind of life I lived in the three years of the Liu family, we all know in our hearts, I am not a saint, I can't repay my grievances with virtue, so if you want to eat, you can eat, if you don't want to eat, you will be hungry. Whatever you want. Let's go. After Qiao Zhen finished speaking, he no longer looked at Zheng, but told the coachman to drive.

The coachman whipped his horse, and the carriage moved slowly. Zheng stared at the back of the carriage and did not speak.

Qiao Zhen looked back from the car window, Zheng had bent down to pick up the pastries on the ground, and the old rickety figure in the cold wind was indeed sad.

Qiaozhen sighed, she knew that it would be like this, the softer she was, the less she wanted, and she would definitely not listen to her good words and persuasions. She will misunderstand what she means, but when she says something like that just now, she will definitely pick it up when her carriage moves, after all, she doesn't want to starve to death.

When I arrived at Yu's house, someone went in to report that Qiaozhen went all the way to the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Qin's personal mother came out to greet her.

Qiao Zhen gave the old lady a salute, and the old lady waved her hand and let Qiao Zhen sit down, and there was no need to be polite between them.

Wait for someone to serve tea to Qiaozhen. The old lady waved her hand, and the maid and the maid went down, leaving the two to talk in the house.

After gossiping, Qiaozhen told the old lady about meeting the Zheng family.

"Hey, I'm in such a situation. Who is she to blame if they hadn't done that to you in the first place. It wouldn't be what it is today. It's all a causal cycle. You are kind-hearted, if you change someone else, don't say anything to give her food, it would be good not to humiliate her. "Old Madam Qin understands Qiaozhen's thoughts.

"I hated them when I first came over, I couldn't wait to eat them raw, how could I not hate them like that. You don't know how angry they are, the Wang family is having a bad time, I went to sell Luosheng and corn, then Liu Mingyi said that I was ashamed, and he wanted to beat me. He also ran to my house to threaten me, and wanted me to make him a small one, I bah! I almost killed him in that weather. You see, this scar on my hand was left by that time. Qiao Zhen stretched out his finger for Old Madam Qin to see.

Old Madam Qin took a look, there was indeed a scar, the woman cared about her appearance, if Qiaozhen hadn't been angry at that time, she wouldn't have thought of it.

"That time I went into the town to give me a milk to invite Langzhong, I met Yu Gongzi, I begged Yu Gongzi to help find a good Langzhong, I didn't have money at that time, I could only ask for help, but I ran into her and the aunt, the two rushed over and scolded, the scolding was ugly, and even started to beat me, I was also anxious at the time, thinking that I had nothing to do with their family, how could I still be angry with them, I slapped them several times, and whipped them with a horsewhip, and they were honest." Qiao Zhen said fiercely.

Old Madam Qin looked at Qiao Zhen and smiled, she heard about this later, but she admired Qiao Zhen very much, daring to whip her ex-mother-in-law with a horse, ordinary people can't do it.

"Until now, I still have the scars left on my body in their house before, every time I see it, I feel that they are not beaten, and that Liu Mingyi, I really wish he was unlucky, the more miserable the happier he is, but after a long time, my life is going smoothly now, it seems that those unhappy things have faded a lot, and now I look at her like this, I really feel a little bad in my heart, do you say that I am looking for abuse myself." Qiao Zhen didn't have anything to say in front of Old Madam Qin.

"It's not counting, it's me, it's estimated that it's the same as you, this person is forgetful, no matter how big the hatred can fade over time, how deep the feelings can also fade. Now you are happy, and your family is good, so your hatred for them is light, if you are miserable, and your family is miserable, you are not in such a state of mind. As for the retribution of their family, forget it. Old Madam Qin sighed, people from that world pay attention to equality, and their hearts are kind enough.

"Well, I don't want to. By the way, does Yu Gongzi have a letter back? How is he doing in the capital? Qiao Zhen diverted the topic and asked about Yu Chengfeng, he had been gone for a few months, and no letter came back, and I didn't know how his life was.

"The life in the capital is not easy, the land of right and wrong, Longtan Tiger's Den, worry about the strength, it is strange if it can be good! But that's his own choice, we can't interfere, I hope he can succeed. "Old Madam Qin understands her grandson's thoughts, but she can't stop her, let the junior's business be his own.

Qiao Zhen didn't say anything, she didn't understand in her heart, everyone has their own way to go, the road is their own choice, no one can interfere, she can only bless Yu Chengfeng.

"By the way, in addition to repairing the house after the Spring Festival, I am going to build a private school in our Zhuangzi and invite a gentleman, so that our Zhuangzi children don't have to go to other Zhuangzi to study. In addition, I plan to build a large yard to take care of those who are old and have no one to support, or orphans who have no father or mother, and those who are disabled and unable to live. What do you think? Qiao Zhen said his plan.

"Are you going to open a good church? It's good, but what about those people's lives? There must be a lot of things to encounter, have you thought about it? "Old Madam Qin had already known Qiaozhen's intentions, so she wasn't surprised, but she didn't think it was easy.

"I thought about it, there is a vegetable field in the yard, and the vegetables planted are enough to eat, and there is also land in the back, and there is enough food to eat. In addition, I will find a few women in the Zhuangzi to help during the day, take care of the subordinates, and cook the next meal. And they went back to their own houses in the evening. Whether it is the elderly or children, it is not completely incapable of taking care of themselves, those who can move can also help, as long as they are given a comfortable environment, they can live, they have food, clothing, and children have books, I think this is enough for them. ”

Qiao Zhen paused here and said, "I probably calculated that it won't cost much in the next year, and the money earned by the earthen kiln is enough." I don't have to worry about the expenses of the Chen family, I can't earn enough money, and I can't save enough, so I can help a lot of people with it, so why not do it. ”

Qiaozhen is telling the truth, she doesn't think about these things when her family life is bad, but now that her life is better, she wants to help some people, and she can't manage the distant places, so she can only take care of the front.

"Okay, you're right, the silver is not enough, no matter how much you save, you can share it, in this way, I will give you five hundred taels of silver a year to use in the good hall, and I won't be able to do it, I'm old, but I can't take care of it." Old Madam Qin agreed with Qiao Zhen.

Qiao Zhen didn't refuse, Old Madam Qin was not short of five hundred taels, her silver was not a few, she also wanted to do her best, and she would not refuse her if she did good deeds.

"You have to be prepared, it's not easy to do at first." Old Madam Qin kindly reminded Qiaozhen.

"I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and doing good deeds is the same, at the beginning others must be suspicious, will say that I have ulterior motives, where I can't do it, others will gossip, and there will be many people waiting to see my jokes, are there fewer things that are misunderstood for doing good deeds? But it has been seen for a long time. I'm sure people will accept it slowly. Qiao Zhen didn't understand such a reason.

"It's good if you're prepared, by the way, don't leave at noon, let's eat the pot, I asked someone to make a copper pot, and the ingredients are complete, wait for someone to do it, you can accompany me to eat." The old woman of Qin stayed Qiaozhen to eat.

"Okay, I'm hungry too, it's comfortable to eat a pot this day, but I want ice cream, eat an overheated pot, and then eat a bowl of ice cream, it's cool and refreshing." Because there is no one around them to serve, Qiaozhen has no scruples about talking, and she is really greedy.

"Did you do it on purpose? You absolutely mean it. Is there such a gluttony? Not to mention that ice cream can't be made here, but can my wife's stomach stand it? If you eat it, you have to have a stomach, you deliberately come to covet me, and your bad heart is dead. The old woman Qin was extremely resentful when she heard Qiaozhen's words, she also wanted to eat, she wanted to hold on to it, but she couldn't eat it.

"Haha, didn't you say you're not old? Let me call you sister, sister has something to eat, besides, it's not bad to listen to it if you can't eat it, and it's not addictive. Qiao Zhen couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and they relaxed together.

"By the way, there is ice stored in the Jade Mansion in the summer, right? Although you can't make ice cream, it's still good to make ice bowls. When the time comes, we can eat the ice bowl. Qiao Zhen came up with an idea.

"It's winter, it's still early for summer, don't you mean to be greedy now? Hum. Ignore you, let you drink soup at noon, don't give you meat, and starve you to death. ”

The old lady pretended to be angry, and Qiaozhen together, she really felt young, as if she was back in her twenties, she had never talked to people so relaxed, if Qiaozhen wore it with her, then they would be best friends, they could chat together, go to the world together, and write their legends. It's a pity that I let myself meet her in my later years, but I don't have many years to live.

The old lady often sighed, Rao is that she does not accept old age, but she is over sixty years old, and there are only a few years left in her life, I hope that these years can be more wanton. (To be continued......)
