Chapter 229

"Old lady, my uncle is here, and he said that he has something important to see you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Uncle?" Old Madam Ning got up late in the morning, and before she woke up, she poked her head out of the tent: "Which uncle of our family!" ”

"If you say yes, it's the uncle of the Gao family."

"That! If I don't see it, you can say that I am not feeling well today and let my wife accompany the guest, and then come to me and pay a few dozen taels of silver to take him away! Old Madam Ning didn't even open her eyes, and yawned in the tent and said.

"He said that if he doesn't see you today, he will go to the government to sue you, saying that our family killed the young grandmother who passed away!" The little girl said hesitantly: "I also said that our little master is not biological, but brought by my aunt and grandmother from outside......"

"Bastard! Our young grandmother obviously died of dystocia, does he want to spread rumors like this to get more money! Although Mrs. Ning was unhappy in her heart, she still reluctantly got up: "This early morning toss, really!" I'll come when you say so. ”

The girl knew what the old lady's temper was, so she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew.

Old Madam Ning slowly washed herself out and saw the uncle of the Gao family sitting there, wearing a half-old satin gown, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet, prominent cheekbones, sunken cheeks, a depressed face, and a round gaze, as if he was very angry.

"Uncle in-law, why are you here!"

"Why can't I come? It seems that the old lady is not very welcoming to me! "Uncle Gao is not polite at all today.

"I was just thinking about what the wind was blowing you in."

"Your family's demon wind!" After speaking, he smiled and said: "Why don't you see your aunt and grandmother, I have to ask her a few words, for the sake of relatives, I will not report to the official for the time being, if you protect her, this will not be good!" ”

"What's wrong with you! First of all, I kept saying that our grandmother did not die of dystocia, and I want to see our aunt and grandmother, you are a male guest, how can you open your mouth to see the woman of our family. Mrs. Ning was drinking tea, put the tea bowl on the table and said.

"Our aunt and grandmother were killed by your aunt and grandmother, I have evidence, you just call her, I want to confront her on the spot, although our aunt and grandmother are not born to our wife, we are not born to the same mother, and I am also loved as the eldest brother!

Look at a very young teenage daughter who married into your family and died in a little more than a year! Even if your family is a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, you can't do that! There is no heavenly reason! Don't think that you are officials, we are afraid! It's a big deal! ”

Mrs. Ning had a hot temper, stood up with a bang, and threw the tea bowl to the ground, the tea bowl was shattered, and the tea was splashed all over the ground: "Do you know what you said!" ”

"Look!" Uncle Gao took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms: "This is a kind of medicine from Nanyang called poppy, a small amount of food can relieve pain, long-term consumption will be addictive, poisoned, slowly become appetite, thin as wood, your family is so ruthless, you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave!" ”

"I also said that I put poppies in my dish and poisoned you!?" Of course, Old Madam Ning refused to believe it, and laughed: "Your family is out of money, so you want to come and get some silver!" I am a kind-hearted person, your aunt and grandmother finally married into my family and gave birth to an eldest grandson to us, I still thank her for her merits, and give you twenty taels of silver to live with you, you just don't continue to spread rumors and make trouble! ”

"Phew! Who wants your silver! You return my aunt and grandmother. The uncle of the Gao family immediately stood up and scolded.

"You wait, Sister-in-law Xu won't come in yet!"

Outside the door, a fat woman wearing a navy blue cotton skirt and moon-white shoulders walked in, with hanging eyes, willow eyebrows, and thin lips, and kowtowed to the old woman Ning as soon as she came in: "Hello to the old lady!" ”

"Which one do you have?" Old Mrs. Ning only thought that the uncle of the Gao family was fooling her, and she didn't have a good temper with this woman.

"Don't you remember me! I'm the midwife who delivered your grandmother! ”

On the day of Gao's birth, Mrs. Ning didn't go over to take a look, how could she remember that there was this fat woman.

"Oh! When did you figure it out and collude with our uncle! Old Madam Ning squinted her eyes and said, "Don't bother thinking about it, I'll just give you a few dollars!" ”

"Wronged! Old lady, you have a noble status, Bing Xue is smart, I don't dare to fool you if I lend me ten guts, besides, how can I use this little brain enough in front of you, colluding with my uncle to calculate you, you are laughing at me, I don't dare to collect your debts, I just look at your grandmother is really pitiful, come to her to shout injustice! "This woman has copied your year in and out of every house, and she is also a man of good speech.

"It's been months since our grandmother died, why are you crying out at this time, you know that you are bluffing me! Mo was deceived by his uncle. Old Madam Ning was very proud, and the flattery of the people immediately couldn't find the south, south, west, and northwest, and the woman's voice softened a lot after saying a few words.

The woman took out a handkerchief from her bosom and nodded it on her eyes, but in fact, she didn't shed tears at all, just for show, and said with a bitter face: "You know, your Ning family is like a cow, and I am just a hair on the cow's head!" Ouch! How did the Ning family become a cow! The woman licked her face and smiled: "You see that I am vulgar in the country, and I can't speak, don't be surprised!" Anyway! It's not that I didn't say it at that time, it's that I didn't dare! ”

I only heard the woman continue: "Although this matter has passed, I know that my grandmother died unjustly, but the person who killed my grandmother is still alive and well, what kind of world is this!" But what can be done? I'm just a small person, and it's not easy to make a living on my own. After speaking, the woman took out her handkerchief again, nodded her eyes, and made a look of crying: "Your uncle came to me and asked me about it, saying that my sister's death is unknown!" I refused to say it at first, for fear that if the victim's people knew about me, I would not be able to escape her persecution, and your uncle begged me again and again. ”

Old Madam Ning didn't speak, and the woman began to talk to herself: "Old lady, you are also a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and is not charitable!" I see that it is not easy for your uncle to avenge his sister, and I thought that this time I would help, and it could be regarded as a good deed. ”

"Then you say!"

"Actually, the young master born to your grandmother died just one day after birth, and this child was brought by your wife and your aunt and grandmother outside!"

Old Madam Ning listened to this like hearing a thunderbolt from a sunny day!

"What do you say! The child was brought in the carry, do you know that you say that......"

"It's true, I don't believe you can call your wife and aunt!"

Old Madam Ning stood up with a loud voice: "Why don't you go and bring those two women to me!" ”

Liu Er and Mrs. Ding didn't know what was going on, and the two said as they walked: "Our old lady likes to take Qiao more and more, and she will call us over for a little thing, don't say that Mrs. is busy all day, that is, I have to take care of Xiaohe, and I want to help Mrs. take care of chores, how can I be free to be on call!" ”

The two of them calculated the things in Mrs. Ning's warehouse, Mrs. Ning didn't have anything to calculate for them, and they were not so enthusiastic this time, and Mrs. Ding also agreed: "You came on the first day!" I don't know the temper of this old woman, and she is dozens of years old, and she will not stop it. ”

The two of them lifted the curtain and went in, although they scolded Mrs. Ning behind their backs, in front of Mrs. Ning, the two of them still smiled brighter than the other: "The old lady called us here, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Liu Er glanced at the angry and arrogant uncle of the Gao family: "Uncle, you are also here, I have a greeting with you." He said the word "please An" in his mouth, but he didn't salute, obviously looking down on the uncle of the Gao family.

Mrs. Ding is older than Liu'er, and she is still older and spicier than Liu'er in terms of human affection, since Gao's death in childbirth, the Ning family and the Gao family have long stopped moving, this time the uncle of the Gao family took the initiative to come to the door, and she looked angry, she noticed that something was unusual, and smiled at the moment: "Uncle is here, why only come to the old lady, although we are not at home, why don't you go to my place to sit!" There is no shying away from relatives among themselves! ”

Old Madam Ning is an anxious person, and she can't bear it anymore: "You two have done a good thing!" You let your uncle say. ”

Uncle Gao, who was still arrogant like a nobody just now, stood up with a bang, fell to the ground and began to howl: "You two have done a good thing! What a good thing to do! What a vicious woman! Killed our aunt and grandmother! Poor aunt and grandmother of our family are not even twenty years old! And the newborn child in her belly! That's the flesh and blood of your Ning family! How do you ...... My sister! ”

Liu Er was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Ding's hand: "You ...... You are talking nonsense...... What nonsense...... "When I speak, my teeth fight with my mouth, and I am about to say something unfavorable."

Mrs. Ding didn't expect the child's matter to be known, although she was also scared, she was still calmer than Liu'er, and reluctantly smiled at the moment: "Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about!" What a dead child, I don't understand. After saying this, she began to threaten: "Although the two families are relatives, it's nothing to make some harmless jokes about each other!" But I say to you, if you can eat it indiscriminately, you can't say it indiscriminately, and you know what you're talking about. ”

"You vicious woman, I hurt our aunt and grandmother, when your family sent someone to propose, my father disagreed, only I said that although the Ning family's aunt is a bit of a bastard, the Ning family is a kind family, and my sister married to persuade her husband and serve her in-laws...... I didn't expect ...... Unexpected! You say I'm talking nonsense! You ask her! ”

"Liu Mazi's daughter-in-law, you ......"

Liu Mazi's daughter-in-law is the midwife, and the midwife immediately took out a handkerchief and nodded in her eyes: "The day the child was born, I said that the child was too weak, and he would not live for two days at most!" ”

"You curse our grandson!" Mrs. Ding trembled and pointed at Liu Mazi's daughter-in-law and scolded.

"Madame, I don't dare to say anything else, I have been delivering babies since I was in my twenties, and I can't say anything else, which dignitaries in this city did not invite me to give birth to children! When you were four or five months pregnant, I touched my belly, this child is very weak in the belly, even if you are born right, you can't live, your grandmother's body is so weak, and it is hard to conceive, and I am afraid that the body will not be able to hold it, the child will not be saved, and the adult will be gone, if this child will flow away, you are unwilling, I know that you will ask for such a brother as the eldest son, and let the eldest grandmother take the risk of leaving a blood for your eldest son, I can also understand.

Your grandmother's body is really unbearable for eight months, and the child in her belly is getting weaker and weaker, so you asked me to give birth to your grandmother! Everyone here who has given birth knows it! How dangerous it is to give birth to an already weak pregnant woman! Pity the big grandmother, she gave birth to a child and died. ”

Mrs. Ding was not angry at this time, and said angrily at the moment: "A woman's duty is to have children and pass on the lineage."

She is pregnant with the widow of her former son, and the remaining child is to do her duty, how dare I accept your money, how can a woman be born no matter how dangerous it is, she will give birth to a child, this is to repay the grace of her husband's family, such a woman's husband will miss her husband for a lifetime, and such a woman is a good wife...... How dare I take your money,"

Saying that, she actually started to cry, unlike Uncle Gao's uncle, a big man rolling on the ground, Mrs. Ding's eyes were open, tears flowed out of her eyes silently, she was sick, she looked bitter, and she looked very pitiful: "My heart hurts too!" But what can I do? I only hope that my daughter-in-law can understand my efforts for the heirs of the Ning family and forgive me, I set up a mourning hall for my daughter-in-law at home, and chant the scriptures every day for her to exceed, I also know that this is just a sign of comfort, and I am also in the soil after a hundred years, and I am willing to repay my daughter-in-law for our kindness to our family in the next life. ”

After speaking, he actually fell down, and climbed up to the old lady little by little: "Old lady, I have my own selfishness, but I am for the Ning family!" You know the cry in my heart, my torment! ”

"Son! It's hard for you. Mrs. Ning put her arms around Mrs. Ding to comfort her, turned her head and said to the uncle of the Gao family: "As for the granddaughter-in-law, she died for the incense of our Ning family, and when I go back, I will pay two hundred taels of silver to my account, which is considered as the compensation of our Ning family to your Gao family, if your Gao family has any difficulties in the future, we will definitely take more care of the dead granddaughter-in-law." After speaking, he pointed to the midwife and said, "As for you! I don't know what you're thinking, I'll give you fifty taels, and in the future, if I understand any bad rumors, you have to be careful. ”

As soon as Mrs. Ning heard Mrs. Ding's explanation, she immediately said, Mrs. Ning is not stupid, the Gao family did not come to make trouble when the Gao family died in childbirth, and this child knew that the child was born on purpose, so she did not report to the official but brought a midwife to make trouble, which was nothing more than to make money.

However, the old lady didn't expect that he was indeed here for the silver, not for the Ning family's silver.
