"Mother Zhou, our young lady has come to see you." Mo Hua stood in front of the small courtyard where Zhou's mother belonged and shouted, and after a while, the mangrove tree hurriedly ran out of the house, with tears on his face, and wiped it while saluting Sister Hui.

"Come on, I just heard that Mother Zhou was beaten by my grandmother, and I thought that she was also careful in her daily service, so I came to take a look."

"Thank you, Miss, for your love, mother, she," said this, Mangrove's tears couldn't stop coming out, and his voice was choked and speechless.

Mo Hua hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and then said: "Sister, hurry up and let the young lady go in and have a look, if there is anything that the young lady can help, I can help." ”

"Hey, Miss forgiveness, please come in with the slave." After speaking, he took the lead and invited Sister Hui into the house.

Although this yard looks smaller than that of Mother Zhao and Mother Xu, the layout is much better than that of ordinary housekeepers.

"Say hello to the third lady."

Zhou's mother was lying on the bed and gasping for air, but when she saw Sister Hui coming in, she reluctantly wanted to get up and salute.

But he was stopped by the ink painting and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mom, let's rest, you have always known our young lady best." Where is she making you look so sick and weak, Baba asks her to come and toss you. ”

"The ink painting is right, mom is resting. I'm coming to see you, you don't have to be polite if you have a wound. ”

"Yes, miss. Mangrove hurry up and show the third lady tea. Zhou's mother was not reluctant, nodded and thanked her, then lay on the bed again, and waved to her daughter at the door.

"Third Miss, the slave knows that you have always been smart and transparent, and I am afraid that this time I came here is not just to see the old slave." As soon as the mangrove left, Zhou's mother asked lightly.

"Yes, Zhou's mother is also a smart person, and I don't go around in circles. How you were physically punished by the old lady, I also inquired. What you can't ask for, I can do. Sister Hui smiled slightly and said.

"Thank you Miss San for your love, the old slave doesn't dare to bother Miss San, what Mangrove will look like in the future is her life."

Mother Zhou knew in her heart that the old lady was not short of food and clothing for the three young ladies, and there were often greetings these days. But she has served the old lady for decades, and she understands best that this is just because the old lady can't get rid of her hands. The grudge between the old lady and the Jinyuan family has been rooted for decades, and no one can break it, unless the people in Jinyuan are dead.

Now she is just begging the old lady to be beaten if she can't do anything, but if Sister Hui intervenes and lets the old lady know, I'm afraid she will be kicked out of the house immediately. At that time, the matter was done, she lost her identity as the mother of the Hou Mansion, and her daughter was still not doing well.

Zhou's mother's abacus, Sister Hui didn't know, but this old woman didn't know that she also took a share of the credit for this beating.

"Mom, I haven't thought about it, if you can't ask for favor in front of the old lady, the most you can do is reprimand. What's more, you've also helped her do a lot of things. But in the end, he was beaten for no reason, why is this? ”

Mother Zhou's eyes, which are usually not very prominent, are shining at the moment, and she immediately glared at Sister Hui'er, and said hatefully: "Third Miss knows? ”

"Oh, I don't know how the old lady sent someone to speak early. The side didn't say anything, just said that I have been out many times recently, and I didn't take you out alone. And you took advantage of this to go out of the house a few times, went to the eldest son on West Street, and went there several times with a lot of baggage. ”

Zhou's mother's eldest son works as a housekeeper at a pawnshop on Houfu West Street in Anning.

These two sentences show that Zhou's mother has not completed the task assigned by the old lady to monitor Sister Hui'er, and Sister Hui'er has never followed such a major event as leaving the house.

Second, it was said that Zhou's mother carried heavy burdens to the pawnshop's son several times, which had to make the old lady wonder if the old woman was secretly taking the things in the house and going out to change hands.

Because there are no people below such things, and Zhou's mother is short of money at this time.

So when Zhou's mother went to Shoukangtang to ask for favor in tears, the old lady was naturally disgusted, and Zhou's mother thought that the New Year was approaching, and she would inevitably have a lot of dreams at night, and the mangrove husband's family was in a hurry, so she asked for a few more words. But as soon as the old lady remembered that she was lazy and reselling, she was naturally angry, and a meal was indispensable.

When Zhou's mother heard what Sister Hui said, she naturally understood the trick in it, and sighed, but she still kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything.

Sister Hui was not in a hurry and waited like this, and sure enough, the mangrove who was supposed to go to see the tea cried with a sad face, rushed into the house, knelt in front of Sister Hui and cried: "Third Miss, please save your husband, please." And then there was a bang, a bang, and three knocks.

Mother Zhou burst into tears, turned her face away, and yelled in a hard voice: "Give me the bones, get me up." ”

Hearing this, Mangrove walked to Zhou's mother's bed, "Mother, you have done so many things for the old lady, but in the end, she didn't believe you for a few words from others, and beat you to only one leg." The old lady has always been ruthless, she won't help us, let's ask for Miss Three, Miss Three is a good person. ”

Zhou's mother fell a big tear stain in front of her pillow, looking at the mangrove's crying face, she had to turn her face away and not speak.

"Mangrove, get up quickly, I've been talking a lot in my yard these days, and it's for this idea of friendship, and I've helped you with that little thing. I heard that your brother has some skills and wants to open his own shop, but the rules of Daxia are not allowed to do business independently, so he has to bury his skills. The three of you mother and son, except for you who have won the old lady's ** reward, are already free, Zhou's mother and your brother are afraid that they will have to make cattle and horses for the Hou Mansion for the rest of their lives, and even the children and grandchildren of Zhou Steward will also be the servants of the Hou Mansion in the future. ”

"Yes." Mangrove nodded

"I can find a way to get rid of your slave status, and give another five hundred taels of silver as a little opening red envelope for Steward Zhou's shop in the future." Sister Hui said again

"What do you want me to do?" Before the mangrove woke up from this surprise, Zhou's mother had turned her head and asked

Sister Hui knew that with such a heavy profit, Zhou's mother had compromised.

"Two things. First, there are a few days left to be the day when the village leaders enter the house to hand over the grain, and then you go and ask Mother Xu to let you go to the front to serve, help me find out some things, and I will send Moqin to you later. As for the second thing, you have helped the old lady do a lot of things over the years, I heard that the first child of the fourth aunt was born with some weakness, but why did he drown later, I think you know better than me, tell the truth of this matter to the fourth aunt. ”

Mother Zhou's gaze became deeper and deeper as she looked at Sister Hui'er, and only after a long time did she slowly nod her head in response.

On the way to live leisurely, Sister Hui couldn't help but think in a good mood: After this matter is done, presumably Chu Jinzhang and his wife and Chu Jinli will become more and more united in the matter of separating the family, and then the old lady will not be able to stop it no matter how strong she is. She looked up at the sky, and the gentle smiles of Chu Jinmin and the Qin family came into view, and she couldn't help whispering: "Father, mother, my brother is coming back, you miss him, I want to too." ”
