Chapter 101: The Truth

Mrs. Lan's mother and daughter sent Grandma Hu's mother and son out of the door, and Hu Qinghui had to accompany her sister-in-law to Qingguang Courtyard in person, so they also left together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Watching the family get on the sedan chair at the gate from afar, and then watching the swaying sedan chair gradually moving away, Mrs. Lan couldn't help but think of Grandma Hu, the pitiful and pathetic under the true feelings.

"If you don't ask anything first, you know that crying endlessly hurts the feelings between husband and wife in vain...... "I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh: "This child was also a good person in the past, why is he so eager this time?" ā€

"If she is like this in the capital, then Mrs. Hu may not be able to be as arrogant as she is now."

"Be docile as water to outsiders, but be powerful to your own husband, this is really the overlord behind the door!"

She never said anything about the Hu family, but not saying the rights and wrongs of others does not mean that she does not have her own opinions.

In Mrs. Lan's view, the departure of Mrs. Xianfang's sister-in-law and daughter-in-law represents a complete victory for Mrs. Steproom.

You must know that Mrs. Hu's children are only about the same size as Hu Zhixing's children, and Grandma Hu is the first to come, but she was pinched by the latecomer, which is really helpless.

Lan Jiayin saw that her mother was unhappy, so she raised her hand and grabbed her mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "It's hot outside, mother, let's go back to the house." ā€

Seeing her daughter's smile like a flower, Mrs. Lan's heart was soft, and she touched her daughter's sideburns lovingly, and the mother and daughter turned around and entered the house.

There are ice kettles in the four corners of the house, not to mention the air conditioning, and the maid fanning, compared with the heat outside, it is really a heaven and an underground.

Lan Jiayin personally changed the chrysanthemum tea with honey for her mother, "Mother, the weather is dry and dry, it is inevitable to get angry, you drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea, it is good to clear the heat and poison." ā€

Seeing that Mrs. Lan took the teacup with a smile and lowered her head to sip lightly, she said with a smile, "Actually, my daughter thinks that Sister-in-law Hu's gaffe today is reasonable." ā€

"After all, money is the most confusing to people's eyes, Hu's sister-in-law is the young lady of the Qingliu family, and the dowry is not abundant, and then Aunt Hu died early, and Uncle Hu took over the new lady, she has a weak temperament, and she is dominated by a stepwife, and she is pinched everywhere."

"Think about it, in addition to her own dowry silver, it is how many months she has every month, and when she has plenty of money in hand?"

"It's easy for Brother Hu to take their mother and son out of the cage-like place, and they made a lot of money because of it, and they became rich in an instant, but the silver didn't warm up in their pockets for long, and they suddenly flew away, tell me, how did she accept this cruel result?"

"As the saying goes, it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift, who wants to be poor after tasting the taste of silver?"

Mrs. Lan is a fine product, it really means that, not to mention the side, she was in Dayuan City that day, didn't she also commit a similar confusion?

It's just that she has a good daughter with a clear mind, and after a slap in the face, she immediately woke up herself who was immersed in self-pity, otherwise, this would be her own family, and I don't know what the situation is.

couldn't help but pat Lan Jiayin's hand, pulled her daughter to sit beside her, and caressed her in her arms, while chuckling: "I just saw Wanwan's face is extremely ugly, and I don't feel very happy when I think about this child." ā€

"You go back and explain it well, explain her, this time it is Zhixing this kid who does it first, and he is more wrong when he is wrong, no matter how you say it, it is too unreasonable for a man to beat a woman."

"Just let her see that her sister-in-law has been wronged, let her give in more, anyway, it won't be a few days, after we figure things out, your sister-in-law Hu will go back to Shirong County, but a few days, bear with it, and it will be over."

Lan Jiayin blinked her eyes and said mischievously, "Wanwan's heart is a hundred more than her daughter, and she still needs her daughter to teach her how to do it?" ā€

"If you don't believe it, if you look at it later, Sister-in-law Hu will definitely come over to talk to you happily."

Not to mention, Lan Jiayin's guess was really accurate, in the afternoon, Grandma Hu, who had rested for a few hours, cleaned up exceptionally neatly, wearing a delicate light red cloud Luo gown, a peony hairpin with a butterfly wings spread on her sideburns, a smile on her face, except for a pair of eyes that were still a little red and swollen, and her mental outlook was refreshed.

Compared with her hysteria of swearing, crying and fussing in the morning, it was really like two people.

The gentle grandmother Hu, accompanied by Hu Qinghui, the aunt and sister-in-law entered the house affectionately.

As soon as he entered the door, he pulled Hu Qinghui to stand in front of Mrs. Lan, and the aunt and sister-in-law bowed to Mrs. Lan together.

Grandma Hu said with a smile: "In the morning, my nephew and daughter-in-law were anxious and dizzy, so I was speechless, and I lost my posture in front of the elders. ā€

Mrs. Lan glanced at her daughter, and stretched out her hand to help her with a smile, "Oh, what's the blame?" It's all your own family, and you've already said that. ā€

"Hurry up, sit down quickly, use some soup to relieve the heat first, I asked the big kitchen to make a few of your favorite dishes in the evening, let's take those four little guys and get together."

Next, she and Lan Jiayin just turned the topic around a few children, and didn't mention Hu Zhixing's matter again.

After a while, Lan Jiarou took Brother Hao and they also entered the house, and there were four more lively children in the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Grandma Hu looked at the flowers in front of her, elegant and chic, and then thought about the dilapidated, old and simple county government of Shirong County, which was called a regret in her heart, "Why did you follow your husband to leave Beijing in the first place?" ā€

"Not to mention suffering in the countryside of a mountain village, you have to be reprimanded and beaten and scolded by others, even if you are at home in the capital, it is nothing more than looking at people's faces, why did it become such a sad situation now?"

Unconsciously he was a little discouraged by Hu Zhixing, and he hated Shirong County even more.

The development of things was roughly the same as Lan Jiayin's guess, before dinner, Master Zhou, who looked hurried, was finally late.

He entered the mansion and went directly to ask to see Lord Lan, this one came because Hu Zhixing, who had the silver in his hand, was in a hurry to personally supervise everyone to repair the road, but he couldn't take care of picking up his wife and children.

Therefore, he can only appoint the most capable Master Zhou around him, and he has worked hard to make such a trip, firstly, to tell Lord Lan the details of the matter, and to tell the good news that the road leading to the outside of Shirong County has begun to be built to this elder whom he respects and worships.

Second, it is to clarify the misunderstanding and bring back the angry wife and children, there is no wife in charge of the house, the eldest girl and the housekeeper's mother are also gone, and only some girls in the general horn, the mother on the stove, it is really a mess of porridge.

After listening to Master Zhou's words, Lord Lan couldn't help but twist his beard and laugh, "Shengchun, this kid, is very aggressive, willing to endure hardships and not say anything, and his brain is still clever. ā€

"He cares about the people, attaches importance to the people's livelihood and suffering, and is bent on doing something practical for the people and seeking welfare.

"You go back and tell him that he did the right thing this time, and I, as an uncle, am very pleased."

However, before the words fell, Lan Mingdong remembered that his wife asked someone to come to pass the word at noon, and between the words, he had some opinions about Hu Zhixing's move on his wife.

Then the voice changed, "However, Shengchun was in a hurry, he had an argument with his wife, and finally pushed it, which is not very good." ā€

"You know, your wife is his strongest backing, no matter what, you can't offend the people who have always supported you, right?"

"In my opinion, the nephew and daughter-in-law can take the child to take him to the post to endure hardships, which is obviously very virtuous, you let him accompany the nephew and daughter-in-law well, coax it, don't make people feel cold."

When Master Zhou heard this, he was very embarrassed and snorted, "Hey, I'm not afraid to say it and make the adults laugh, our family is indeed young and impulsive, but doesn't he want to do something real for the people wholeheartedly?" ā€

"You also know that we go through the formalities in the yamen, and there are a lot of twists and turns, even if you and the fourth son help you, not for a month or two, you don't want to implement the money."

"My family really can't wait, so he went around to raise donations and started work first, but the cost of building the road is huge, that little donation is not a few days, he saw that it was going to run out, he really couldn't bear to let the people down, so he thought about taking out his own silver first to deal with an emergency, and when the money arrived, he took it out and returned it to the grandmother, but he didn't expect ......"

When Hu Zhixing and his wife were arguing, Master Zhou was actually outside the door, and he was clear in his heart, it was the grandmother who felt sorry for the silver, and the iron rooster seemed to be like a hair, so he held the box and did not lose his hand.

Hu Zhixing was in a hurry, so he pushed it, and there was absolutely no fighting, but this time he would tear these up, and it was too childish, Master Zhou silently sympathized with his uncle in his heart.

But he still helped to say good things in his mouth, "Boss, if you delay any longer, the weather will turn cold, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the next autumn rain will continue, if the roots of the mountain are dug up, and collapse again, everything in front will be in vain." ā€

"Aren't the adults of our family also thinking that if the road is built early, the people can exchange the products in the mountains for some silver, so that they can celebrate the New Year."

After listening to Master Zhou's words, Lan Mingdong's expression gradually became solemn, the geographical conditions of the West are like this, there are many soil and mountains, and there are few rocky mountains, and when it rains, it is easy to have accidents.

He said with emotion, "Shengchun's idea is very good, I, as an uncle, absolutely support him, so let's do it, Ming'er, I will mention the matter of building roads in Shirong County to Song Fucheng, that person is a smart person, he knows what to do." ā€

This is the meaning of opening the door to Hu Zhixing.

Master Zhou was not excited when he heard this, so he quickly got up and hugged his fists and gave a deep salute, and sincerely thanked him, "I have thanked the boss here for my uncle, and I asked you to come forward in person for this matter, I am really ashamed, ashamed." ā€

Lan Mingdong smiled disapprovingly: "What does it matter? What Shengchun does is a good thing for the welfare of the people, whether I am an elder or a Shangguan, I should vigorously support him, but the official thinks that an official like Shengchun who is willing to work hard and works hard, the government should issue a commendation. ā€

"If everyone who is an official does this, why worry that Pingjing will not prosper?"

This is the intention of making Hu Zhixing a model and encouraging the younger generation of officials.

If this is the case, Hu Zhixing's official reputation will be great!

Master Zhou was inexplicably overjoyed, thanked him again and again, Lan Mingdong waved his hand again and again, and the two of them had a discussion on how to consolidate the mountain and no longer let the earth mountain collapse in the heavy rain.

However, Lan Mingdong has a lot of things in his hands, just to check the old things that have accumulated over the years, he has been watching them for four or five days in a row, and he can't stay with Master Zhou for a long time.

After a while, he asked Lan Qi to take Master Zhou to the back office and let him go to see Grandma Hu, so that he could explain everything clearly, and his wife and daughter could save some snacks.

"What, Master Zhou, are you saying that our uncle only donated two hundred taels of silver, and the rest is borrowed by the county government?" Grandma Hu was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she couldn't help but ask again and confirm it again.

Master Zhou smiled and arched his hand and said: "Grandma, you heard it right, this silver will have to be repaid to you at that time, and I saw Lord Lan in the front office just now, and the boss values our family very much, and promised to personally inquire about this matter." ā€

"According to the humble position, maybe it won't take a month, and the silver will be allocated!"

Grandma Hu was very happy, folded her hands, muttered Buddha, this whole day of emotions ups and downs, great sorrow and joy, thanks to her young and good health, if this is left in the elderly and weak people, I am afraid it will not work a long time ago.

When the joy passed, she said happily, "This is really good, Master Zhou, you have to help the uncle take care of it, don't let the black-hearted people below blacken the silver." ā€

"That's for sure, that's for sure." Master Zhou asked her with a smile, "Grandma, when do you think we will leave for Shirong County?" ā€

Grandma Hu was stunned when she heard this, and returned to Pingjing City again, living in a comfortable Qingguang Courtyard, and she felt more and more that Shirong County was poor and broken.

The place where the county lord lives in Shirong County is not as good as the place where the subordinates live in the government office.

The house is small and damp, and there is no comparison between the three main rooms, the four side rooms, and the Qingguang Courtyard with a small garden in front and back.

She didn't want her children to suffer like that, and she didn't want to go back herself, but she was worried about getting back her own money, and she had to go back.

But if the children are left here alone, Grandma Hu is reluctant, the children are the flesh of her heart, and they have never left her for a day when they have grown so big.

Grandma Hu thought that it was estimated that in a few days, she would have to come back because she missed her child. "Why don't I just run on both sides? It's just a matter of going the extra mile. ā€

"But if I come back to see the child, won't there be no one around the uncle to serve me?"
