Chapter 37: Mother's Warning
Song was very surprised to see Linglong move a lot of things back, she knew her sister-in-law Zhu's temperament, but she might be so generous, thinking that when she didn't break up at the beginning, she had to be angry and have to pay for an extra needle, but she didn't expect Linglong to get so many things back, and I don't know what this girl did?
The two mothers-in-law who helped move things, one surnamed He, was chopping wood, and the other was surnamed Bai, who washed dishes in the big kitchen, and they were the most statusless rough mothers-in-law.
The two of them followed Linglong silently all the way, and at first they just replied to what they asked, and they didn't say much.
This is not difficult for Linglong, she has a second aunt He and a Bai aunt, and the two rough women who are usually miserable are called so unhappy, and the attitude of the two of them is much better and more enthusiastic after two trips.
He Ergu also specially moved some more firewood on the second trip, Linglong wanted to say that it would not be so much, but He Ergu winked at her, and there was no one halfway and whispered in her ear:
"Second Miss, the slave maid sees that you are a sincere person, and the slave maid will not pit you, the eldest lady originally said hello this evening, and did not let you take away the slightest thing from the kitchen, fortunately, Steward Tan had some scruples about releasing water, you can take more tonight, and it will be difficult to take it again in the future!"
Linglong looked at her in surprise, and then thanked her with a smile. Aunt Bai next to her glanced at He Ergu, and shook her head secretly in her heart, although she was also very dissatisfied with the eldest lady in her heart, but she still had a family to rely on this errand to support, if she could not cause trouble, she would not cause trouble, even if this second lady was good, after all, she was just a guest house, right? It won't help us much.
After they finished moving their things, Linglong generously rewarded ten taels of silver.
The two of them were both frightened and happy when they saw the silver, you must know that they have worked in Su Mansion for more than ten years, and they have never received such a big reward. Let's just say that the old lady had a birthday last time, and each of them only had an extra hundred Wen, which is enough for their family to live for a few months!
The two of them were naturally very grateful, and before leaving, Second Aunt He leaned over and whispered: "Second Miss, if you lack anything in the future, just tell the slave maid, and the slave maid will definitely find a way to help you get it." ”
Linglong smiled and narrowed, nodded and said, "Then there is Second Aunt Lao He!" ”
Sending the two away, Zhihua muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why is Miss so good to them?" It's just two rough mothers-in-law, and it's so generous to help move things twice, why haven't you seen the young lady so generous for many years? ”
Linglong turned his head and glared at her: "You little hoof, you don't do things well, and you are muttering here, beware that I will marry you a lame fool." ”
Zhihua's small mouth was raised high, and Zhishu secretly pinched her and pulled her to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Linglong returned to the main hall and saw the Song family stunned in the hall alone.
"Mother, ghost mother-in-law?"
"She was not feeling well, so she went home to rest."
"Huh? Rest now, won't she eat? ”
"She said that she eats once a day, and the big kitchen only delivers food at noon, and she is used to it, and it doesn't matter if she eats it or not."
"How's that going to work? No wonder she is in such poor health, they have already started to cook, I took a lot of ingredients back, enough for us to eat for a few days, let's have a good meal later, how about picking up the wind for yourself? ”
Song sighed and looked at her: "Linglong, thank you for your hard work;!" ”
"What's not hard, mother, let's go and take the old aunt over?"
"This ...... The sister-in-law said that the old lady didn't let the old aunt come, and she probably didn't dare to come. ”
"Huh? Not really, right? Why is the old aunt so afraid of the old lady? ”
Song glanced at her, stretched out his hand to beckon her over, Linglong obediently squatted beside Song and asked her to touch her head: "Alas, silly child, many things in the world are not as simple as we see. The old lady is ...... It's very powerful, you don't mess with her lightly, otherwise ......"
"How else? I don't believe what she can do to me. ”
"Silly boy, you haven't seen her yet, you'll know later. Listen to your mother's words, don't mess with her, your mother is for your good. ”
Linglong reluctantly nodded in agreement, thinking back to the old lady Su who had only seen her for a long time, that person was a ruthless character at first glance, and it made sense for her mother to say this, although she really wanted her to be deflated, but she had to be careful.
A few maids worked together to make a large table of sumptuous meals. Everyone put the food in the hall, a total of two tables, one table for Linglong and his mother, and one table for the maids.
Linglong and Song went together to invite the ghost mother-in-law out, the ghost mother-in-law didn't want to scare everyone, and asked to put a small coffee table for her in the corner, she took the initiative to turn her back to everyone, still masked, and took off the mask every time she ate.
Everyone looked at the back of the ghost mother-in-law in a daze, and when they learned her origin and details, everyone felt a little less fear and more sadness and sympathy.
The room was silent for a while, the ghost mother-in-law snorted and drank the soup, put down the mask and looked back at everyone, Song came back to his senses: "Don't be stunned, everyone, eat!" Let's eat it all! ”
As soon as Song reminded him, everyone picked up the chopsticks, but the mood and atmosphere were never better. Linglong has been paying attention to the ghost mother-in-law's side, giving Zhishu a look, Zhishu is the most sensible, and when he sees that she has nothing left, he hurriedly sends it over. The ghost mother-in-law, who said that she only eats once a day, ate three bowls of food tonight and drank a lot of soup.
Linglong felt very uncomfortable, and when he received the dishes and chopsticks, Song instructed Shen's mother to send some food to the old aunt and Wu's mother, and everyone washed up and went back to the room to rest.
Linglong asked to sleep with the Song family tonight, and by the way, he asked about the origin of the ghost mother-in-law, and when she mentioned this ghost mother-in-law, her mother sighed for a long time and told everything she knew.
According to her mother's statement, this ghost mother-in-law entered the Su Mansion at the age of five, and was selected to be sent to the old lady to be a personal maid at the age of ten. When she was young, her ghost mother-in-law was beautiful and beautiful, and she was very popular with the old lady, and the old lady wanted to marry her, but the elders disagreed, the Su family disagreed, and the old lady's mother made a big deal with the pair of mandarin ducks, and immediately matched her to a drunk.
The drunkard is usually fine, as soon as he drinks, he beats people, tortures the ghost mother-in-law every day, she finally survives until she gives birth to a child, when the child is not yet a month old, she is strangled to death by a drunk in the middle of the night. The ghost mother-in-law burst into tears, and wanted to hang herself when she died, but fortunately she was rescued.
When the old lady learned the news of her, it happened that the old aunt gave birth to her father Su Bingren, and she was about to find a nurse, so she recruited the ghost mother-in-law back to the house to be a nurse. The ghost mother-in-law who had just lost her child saw that Su Bingren liked him very much, so she regarded him as her own son.
After a few years of such peace, the old lady came to the old aunt's place to see the children, and met the ghost mother-in-law from time to time, and the two rekindled their old love and secretly got together.
The old lady was furious when she learned about this, and wanted to arrest the ghost mother-in-law and go to Shentang, the old lady was iron-hearted, and the old lady was very angry, so she didn't say anything at the time, but secretly kept this account in her heart.
