Volume 1 Chapter 30 Three widows do not have the same fate

The wine and food seemed to suit the old lady's appetite, and she ate two bites of each dish, especially the dish of roast beef with sand tea lotus root.

The taste of the sand tea in this is very authentic, and even I, a Hokkien person, eat it directly. The old lady said with a smile, I thought that the chefs in the capital couldn't make authentic Hokkien cuisine, but I didn't expect it to be as good as that. I don't know which restaurant in the capital is the signature dish?

It's not the chef of the restaurant, it's the chef who is newly invited back from the house. She was originally from Hokkien, and later moved here with her husband's family, but she didn't expect her husband to die of illness because Kefu was kicked out by her in-laws. Mrs. Ma in the house met her, and knew that the old lady was coming, so she introduced her to work in our house. I asked her to make a few Hokkien dishes, and the master tasted it and thought it tasted okay, so she kept it. Feng hurriedly returned.

The old lady sighed and shook her head, but she was a poor person, and called out to me to see.

Yu was a young widow, and when he heard the same experience, he would inevitably feel sympathy, and when he heard that her in-laws disliked her and drove her out, he felt that she was extremely pitiful.

After a while, a tall and thin woman in her forties walked in. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look around, and when she came in, she saluted everyone, old lady, old lady, old lady, wife, aunt, young master, young lady, slave maid to greet you.

The sound is refreshing and not twisting, and it is not annoying to listen to. The old lady asked her to raise her head, and saw that she had an awl face, high cheekbones, and two thin mouths, which was an unfortunate face.

You were kicked out by your husband's family, do you have any contact with the child? At her age, the child is estimated to be in her twenties. Although grandmothers and grandfathers are in charge of driving their mothers out, how can they not take care of them as children?

Unexpectedly, she shook her head, and the slave and maid did not give birth. Her parents died early, and she had no relatives, so she was taken in by her sister-in-law when she came out of her husband's house. Later, Mrs. Fuzhong let the slaves and maids work in the house, which can be regarded as a place to stay. The slave and maid are grateful for the great kindness of the wife, and they have no ability, so they can only use all their strength to cook well to repay the kindness of the wife. Other live slaves and maids dare not boast, cooking, especially Hokkien cuisine, slaves and maids are the best. The slave's father has been a chef in a restaurant all his life, and the slave has been working for his father since he was five or six years old.

When the old lady heard this, she sighed again, and asked Mama Lu to bring her a few sets of her old clothes to wear, and gave her a penny of money. Although it is an old dress, it is just cut from previous years, but it has never been worn at all. This time, the old lady came from the south, intending to set up camp and not leave, and brought a dozen large boxes, but everything that could be taken with her was packed in.

Seeing the old lady offering a reward, the Feng family also ordered someone to come over with half a penny, and Aunt Li couldn't sit still when she saw it.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled and said: How can you let your aunt break the bank? You take your brothers and sisters to live with peace of mind, and there is no shortage of your mother's expenses in the house.

Although the master is not there, the life of our mother and son is worry-free. Although our sisters are close relatives, and the old lady and the eldest man are both generous people, living separately is the best way for relatives. Aunt Leigh speaks slowly and slowly, and she is a gentle person when she listens to her voice.

Feng also smiled and said: Their family is not like this. My sister is a sincere person, and if she encounters difficulties, she will definitely speak.

The old lady gave up after hearing this, and then said to the Feng family: I told your master, there is a small kitchen in my yard, and you can ask the cook to come over. I brought four girls, two companions, and Mama Lu, their monthly money naturally doesn't have to be taken care of by you, that is, you don't have to use the money in the courtyard to spend all the money.

This...... Feng Shi was terrified when he heard this, the old lady's words were so distressing that she was a daughter-in-law, could it be that she had to pay for food and clothing from her own mother-in-law? The daughter-in-law knows that the old lady is not short of silver, and the cleaning of the cracks in the box is enough for the whole house to live for a year and a half. However, we should also show filial piety, and save outsiders from making irresponsible remarks.

I know your filial piety. It turned out that I lived in my hometown in the south, and I also spent my own money. I'm getting older day by day, what do I do with so much silver? In the end, how many rooms will be allocated to you? There are a total of fifteen juniors in your three rooms, seven men and eight women, 5,000 daughters-in-law and children, and 2,000 at the bottom of the box for marriage, and I left it early in the morning.

When Aunt Li heard this, she secretly calculated in her heart, five, seven, thirty-five, two hundred and eighty-six, adding up to fifty-one thousand taels of silver! The old lady is only fifty years old, and it is not a problem to live to eighty with her hard body, and she has to pay silver for food and clothing over the years. Thinking about it this way, the old lady must have at least 100,000 taels of silver in her hand.

Anyone can calculate this account, and Feng's calculation is faster and more careful than her sister. She didn't expect the old lady to have so much silver in her hand, and she was surprised and thought of the old lady's Zhuangzi and shop. Listening to the meaning of the old lady's words, all the yellow and white things were given to the next generation, and those real estate were to be divided into their three-bedroom families. The grange and the shop are not comparable to silver, and they can be divided evenly and fairly. Catching up with Zhuangzi, which has poor soil quality and a remote location, not only can't make money, but also feeds a lot of people in Zhuangzi, which is a money-losing thing.

Before she could think about it, she heard her master say: As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and their mothers don't have to worry about their juniors. You can enjoy your happiness, eat whatever you want, use whatever you want, and have a son to feed you when you run out of money.

What do you do and spend it all? Could it be that I eat silver and use silver? The old lady joked, and everyone laughed.

The matter was settled like this, and Aunt Li felt a lot in her heart. It has only been more than three years since the death of her husband, and the old lady has been widowed since she was young, but you can see how different their lives are. Even if she reaches the age of an old lady, there will be no one who is so generous, magnificent, and hard-spoken! Moreover, she had to listen to her sister's words, and clearly said that she would pay for her family's expenses. My sister's serious mother-in-law doesn't take any of them, and if my mother's sister all expects her sister to make up for it, it will make the family talk about it.

Everyone ate and drank, talked and laughed, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than two days. It was deeper and heavier, and the cool air gradually came up, and the old lady asked everyone to go back to rest. Then they dispersed, every man to his own court.
