Chapter 21: Here comes the money

"Well, your wife is a blessed one, she, she gave birth to a good son, and her heart is relaxed. Master Gu, a talent, everyone praises him. A while ago, Mrs. Gao Tongzhi also praised Master Gu to me.

With such a good son, Mrs. Gu has nothing to worry about, if she has to worry about it, it is just to worry about her son's family affairs. ”

Mrs. Su said, her eyes never left Mother Li.

Mother Li heard Mrs. Su mention Young Master Gu, her expression was slightly relaxed, and when she looked at Mrs. Su again, a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in her eyes, and she immediately returned to her original appearance, and said, "Our wife herself said that she was blessed. ”

Mrs. Su was a little disappointed when she saw that Mother Li did not mention the matter of Master Gu. was about to say something more, but I heard Li's mother say again:

"By the way, my wife asked me to talk to Mrs. Su and Miss Su before I came, Master Su committed a lawsuit, and our Gu family was also very sad, but we couldn't help anything.

She asked me to seal fifty taels of silver, so that I would definitely deliver it to you, and do what our family wanted. ”

Mother Li said, took out a dark green incense bag embroidered with the pattern of Wufu from her arms, and handed it over.

Mrs. Su's face changed, and she said, "Mother Li said that she laughed, our two families are talking about marriage, what kind of silver are we talking about." ”

Su Wanyu understood in her heart that the Gu family was using this way to inform the Su family, and the matter of the previous marriage was settled.

It was originally a stage of mutual probing, and there was no exchange of tokens, and without evidence, the Gu family could not talk about repentance.

Fifty taels of silver is not much, but it is not too much. For the previous Su family, fifty taels of silver was not enough for Su Wanyu to buy a plaything, but for the current Su family, it was a lot. The Gu family used fifty taels of silver to send the Su family, but they were "thoughtful".

"Mrs. Su, our wife also said that if Mrs. Su happens to mention any family affairs, let me tell you, those things that are chasing after the wind and catching shadows, even if you have heard it, it should not be true." Mother Li said, her face seemed to show a hint of superiority as she spoke, and the freckles on her face seemed to rise upward.

"This, this, whatever." Mrs. Su said: "Aren't you Gu family deceiving people?" ”

"Mrs. Su, the Gu family has always been a big businessman with an innocent heart, Master Su committed a lawsuit for selling smuggled salt, and our Gu family also sent me to visit you, and I also brought silver. Fifty taels of silver can be saved for a while. How can it be said that the Gu family is deceiving. Mother Li said.

"We don't want this silver, cough, cough." Mrs. Su was anxious, and began to cough uncontrollably: "Don't, cough, cough." ”

Su Wanyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Su calm down, and then smiled at Mother Li, and said, "Then thank you Mrs. Gu." With that, she reached out and took the sachet. After starting it, I felt heavy and full of weight.

Mother Li saw that Su Wanyu accepted the silver taels generously, naturally as if the silver taels were hers, neither the joy of getting the silver, nor the resentment of receiving insults, nor the sadness of fruitless family affairs, the smile was generous and dignified, which was even more decent and serious than Mother Li herself.

Su Wanyu's unexpected move made Li's mother stiffen, and the polite and smug smile just now looked very funny as if it had been frozen.

However, Mother Li, in the end, is the housekeeper mother who has seen the world around Mrs. Gu, and she recovered in just one breath.

"This is Miss Su. You're welcome. Mother Li said, looking at it without a trace.

When she first entered the courtyard, when Mother Li saw Su Wanyu for the first time, she just thought that Su Wanyu was bright, but she was wearing a vulgar linen dress, which was not as glamorous as ordinary young ladies. Moreover, at that time, Li's mother was bent on the idea of ending the Su family's marriage, so she didn't pay close attention.

But at this time, it seems that Su Wanyu's eyes are bright, her lips are bright, her lips are bright, and she has a calm and majestic temperament, and she is dressed in light linen clothes, which has a unique style.

Mother Li secretly felt pity in her heart. Thinking of the current situation of the Su family, he said in his heart, the family is down, and it is useless to look good.

Su Wanyu didn't know that Mother Li's mind was turning, she got the silver for nothing, but she got this inexplicable family affair again, she was in a good mood, and her smile was even more elegant, almost mixing Su Wanyu's trained professional smile in her previous life with the standard lady smile taught by the original owner to the extreme.

When someone comes to give her money, she always has to be polite, doesn't she?

Su Wanyu smiled more and more elegantly, but hummed silently in her heart: "There is no food or clothing, there is no enemy to send forward, there is no gun or cannon, the enemy makes it for us." ”

"Now, it's already noon, if Mother Li doesn't dislike coarse tea and light rice, stay for a light meal." Su Wanyu said.

"Thank you, Miss Su, I don't have to rush back to my wife. And the word was brought, and the money was given. My wife is waiting for me to reply. Mother Li said.

"Then we won't be in vain for Mother Li." Su Wanyu said: "Please ask Mother Li to bring a message to Mrs. Gu." ”

Mother Li looked puzzled, and only heard Su Wanyu say:

"Those things that are not visible, just forget it after hearing about it, please don't take it seriously, let alone talk nonsense. I'm my daughter's family, and I have to take care of my reputation. ”

Mother Li choked again, in her heart, for the Su family, the Gu family was high. Now, when Su Wanyu said this, it seemed that discussing marriage with the Gu family would damage her reputation, and she was indignant in her heart, she said:

"Then I'll take my leave." With that, he left the courtyard of the Su family.

Su Wanyu looked at the back of Li's mother leaving in a hurry, checked the silk brocade money bag in her hand, the corners of her mouth rose, and the smile reached the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Wanyu." Su Wanyu listened to Mrs. Su call herself, looked back, and saw Mrs. Su looking sad.

"Wanyu, my mother will definitely find you a better family affair in the future." Mrs. Su said.

Su Wanyu shook Mrs. Su's hand and said, "My mother, your daughter is so beautiful, are you still worried that she can't get married?" "

"You." Mrs. Su said.

"Mother, you see that you got fifty taels for nothing, we can use it to open a store, and I'll put away the money bag."

When Su Wanyu put the money bag away, it was already noon, and she walked out of the house and went to the stove. After passing by Su Chengze's house, she wanted to call Su Chengze to eat together. But at the door of Su Chengze's house, I vaguely heard a whimpering cry in the house.

Su Wanyu hurriedly pushed open the door of the house, only to see Su Chengze sitting on the edge of the bed, his shoulders twitching and crying, his face was full of tears, his eyes were red, and he was very sad

Her heart tightened, and she walked quickly to Su Chengze's side and said, "Chengze, what's wrong?" ”
