Chapter 141: Painstaking
"Ma'am?" The movement in the blind mother-in-law's hand paused, and her voice was still dry and indifferent, "You mean, the bad wife who was driven home by him thirty years ago?" β
Tang Guxi's eyes lit up: "Mother-in-law, do you know?" β
"Hmph," the mother-in-law snorted coldly again, "not only do I know, I know it very well." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"That'...... Can my mother-in-law tell us why the Lord of the Plum Helm took the lady home in the first place? Lin Xun said, "Where is the lady at the moment?" β
Hearing this, the mother-in-law was silent, lowered her head and continued to do needlework, and said coldly: "Who are you, and what are you doing to inquire about her?" Could it be that it can't be done, or is it not her relatives? β
"We ......" Lin Xun paused, hesitated slightly, but his voice decreased a little, "We are indeed her relatives." β
"Oh?" The mother-in-law raised her head, a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth, "Tell me, what kind of relatives you are." β
"This ...... Actually......"
"Mother-in-law." Lin Luo saw that Lin Xunyuan couldn't go on, so he simply told the truth, "It's not a secret, we don't know that lady, and asking where that lady is is also to ask about another person." If the mother-in-law knows...... How Hua Ning was accepted as a righteous daughter by Lord Mei Helm, then we don't need to ask others. β
"I said, I don't know anything about the woman's background."
"So, please let my mother-in-law tell us about his wife." Seeing that the mother-in-law's attitude was so resolute, Lin Xun couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "It is said that Master Mei Duo was alone before his death, and the people who have a relationship with him, except for Hua Ning, are that lady." If we can find the lady and get some news from her, then we will not make this trip in vain. I'm afraid to be in ...... Is that lady still alive......"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Guxi and the others were stunned - yes, why didn't they expect that in the past thirty years, Lord Mei Helm was already in his prime, who could guarantee whether the lady was still alive?
While they were contemplating, the mother-in-law suddenly said, "She's not dead." β
The gloom on everyone's faces was relieved and relieved. However, after entering the house for a long time, they still did not ask anything from the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law always wanted to talk about it, which caused them more and more doubts.
Lin Xun was really helpless, sighed, and said: "I said mother-in-law, don't sell Guanzi, you know her affairs, and you have the heart to tell us, why go around this big circle?" Laborious and laborious...... How bad, you say? With that, he laughed twice to flatter.
But the blind mother-in-law didn't buy it at all, but her face was much soothed, and with a mysterious smile, she said, "I don't go around in circles, how can I know your sincerity?" Moreover, I did not say that I would tell you, but if you are willing to spend it, you can only spend it with me. In the end, it's up to me to say it or not, so please do it. β
With that, she put down her livelihood, got up and walked out the door.
Leaving Lin Luo in the house, the four of them looked at each other, each at a loss, not knowing whether to go or stay. In the end, Liu Yueying, who had been standing on the side and had been silent, spoke.
"I don't think I can ask anything today, that mother-in-law has a strange temperament, and I guess I won't tell you for a while. Why don't we go back first? Come back tomorrow. β
"This mother-in-law is really strange, you said that she obviously wanted to tell us, but she wanted to sell Guanzi......" Lin Xun frowned, and suddenly the corners of his eyebrows raised, "Could it be that we are not sincere?" β
"Sincerity ......" Lin Luo frowned, "You mean, we should barter things?" β
When Tang Guxi heard this, he exclaimed: "No, mother-in-law really means that?" β
Lin Xun shook his head, "I don't know, but what if it's true?" In this case, let's go and get some silver taels for her, and see if she can open her mouth. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and money can make people speak the truth. He smiled, turned and walked out.
Although Lin Luo and the others are not at ease, they might as well give it a try. They followed him out the door and watched him walk towards the kitchen. I saw Lin Xun come to the kitchen, said a few words to the mother-in-law who was burning the fire inside, then took out a money bag and slowly placed it next to the stove, while paying attention to the mother-in-law's face.
However, what he didn't expect was that although the mother-in-law couldn't see what was in front of her, she knew what he had put down when she heard the voice. Her face was gloomy, and she took the money bag suddenly, but instead of putting it in her pocket, she threw it towards the door with one hand and smashed it on Lin Xun's chest accurately.
Lin Xun shuddered, and hurriedly picked up the money bag that was thrown over, his face ashamed. After being reprimanded by the mother-in-law for a few more words, he was saddened, he lowered his head, and returned to Lin Luo's side while scratching his head.
"It seems that we are shallow and hurt my mother-in-law's face." Lin Luo said lightly.
"I'll just say, that mother-in-law is so old, how can she covet this little fortune and small profit?" Tang Guxi glared at him, frowned again, and muttered, "But then again, my mother-in-law is neither greedy for money nor profit, but she still speaks coldly to us, and she can't open her mouth, which is really incomprehensible." β
"Actually, it's not that I can't figure it out." Liu Yueying looked at the three people in front of her, "Perhaps, she cares about other things, and she has a hard time." In my opinion, we don't want to make it difficult for others, let's forget it today, how about it? β
Lin Xun sighed and flipped the money bag in his hand, "So far, there is no other way, so it can only be like this." Hey, let's go home! He raised his hand to the bag in his hand, and his gaze went up and down, but it was very leisurely. Ignoring the others, he walked straight to the door.
The three people standing in place glanced at the mother-in-law in the kitchen again, only to see that the smoke from the stove smoked her to tears, and she couldn't stop coughing, but she still continued to pull the bellows skillfully and forcefully, and cook on the fire.
Tang Guxi turned around, and happened to meet Liu Yueying's cheeks covered by her face, thinking about her words, she seemed to have some doubts in her heart, so she asked: "Sister Yueying, we are really sorry for delaying you to perform today." At the moment, I'm afraid you're in a hurry to go back to the teahouse, right? If we have mistaken you to work, we will go with you, so that the wicked man may not come back to make trouble, and it will be counted as compensation. β
Anyway, it will be fine after going back, Liu Yueying has helped them a lot, Tang Guxi thought, it is better to go to the teahouse to drink tea and enjoy the fun at this moment.
Liu Yueying was stunned and understood what she meant, but her face was slightly panicked, "Miss Tang, you really misunderstood, since I accompanied you here today, I didn't plan to go to the teahouse again." Besides, that terrible thing just happened yesterday, and I think it's not too late for me to go back in a few days. β
Hearing this, Tang Guxi smiled wryly and said, "Then it seems that I really misunderstood...... Don't blame me, Sister Yueying. β
Liu Yueying looked at her, her expression relaxed slightly, and she shook her head with a smile.
"What Yueying said is extremely true." Lin Luo said, "I think, it's better not to go to the teahouse these days, those people will definitely not give up." β
Liu Yueying nodded, but she didn't seem to dare to touch Lin Luo's gaze.
"I said, why are you so sluggish, and why are you still leaving?" Lin Xun was already impatient at the door, and shouted sideways, "Don't bother your mother-in-law inside!" β
When Lin Luo and the others heard this, they had no choice but to walk towards the door.
Just as the three of them were about to walk to the door, they only heard a voice from the stove, and the mother-in-law's voice was hoarse and dry from the smoke, but it was full of strength.
"Come back in three days." (To be continued.) )
