Chapter 32: Benefits
Zhang Zhenqin was restless and returned to the upper room alone and sat back in the position she had just placed.
Her mother Zeng Huiyan saw that her face was pale, her eyes were panicked, her heart sank, she gently held her hand and shook her head.
Lu Ruilan saw that the third lady of the Zhang family came back first, and asked the maid who went out and came in again in surprise: "Where is the eldest lady?" ā
Xie Tonghui walked in a step late, bowed down and said, "Auntie, I just had some accidents, I'll take a look at Miss Zhang San." ā
Zhang Zhenqin raised her head and said with a pale face: "It's okay, I'm just tired for a while and don't want to go shopping." Miss Xie received her kindness. ā
Seeing her like this, Xie Tonghui didn't say anything, so he had to smile and walk over to her mother, Ning Shumei, and stand still.
Ning Shumei looked at her, and raised his chin lightly towards the door, "Since Miss Zhang San doesn't want to go shopping, you can go back first." It's all outsiders here. ā
Xie Tonghui responded, bowed to the people in the house, and retreated.
Not long after she left, Zeng Huiyan frequently gave Zhang Shaohong a look, wanting to say goodbye and leave.
Zhang Shaohong asked for a long time, and he was not optimistic about the situation of the Xie family, and saw that his wife and daughter were depressed, so he had to get up and say goodbye, and arched his hand: "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie, since there is nothing wrong with Dongli, we will leave." ā
"You really have a heart. When Dongli is well, I will invite you to be a guest. Lu Ruilan smiled and blocked a sentence, saying that she didn't like their visit in such a hurry.
Zhang Shaotian stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside the door, smiled at the corner of his lips, and didn't care about what the Xie family said.
The family came out of the gate of Xie's mansion and happened to meet Xie Dongyi, the uncle of Xie who came back from the barracks.
Xie Dongyi saw Zhang Shaotian first, and was overjoyed to get off the horse and pat him on the shoulder, saying, "You're really back!" ā
Zhang Shaotian smiled and arched his hand, "Thank you, big brother, for remembering." Invite the eldest brother to drink in two days. As he spoke, he left with the Zhang family.
Back at Zhang's house, Zhang Zhenqin immediately told her father and grandmother about Xie Dongli's situation, "...... Miss Xie took me to Xie Dongli's yard, and I happened to see him standing with a white begonia plant. As soon as he turned around, oh my God, it scared me to death! Full of red spots! ā
"What's wrong with erythema? Didn't you say the rash? It's good to fade. Zhang Shaohong said disapprerovingly.
"It's not just red spots!" Zhang Zhenqin said anxiously, "Also, when he saw me, his eyes lit up, but he immediately lowered his head and bent over, coughed again, and vomited blood!" ā
"What?! Vomiting blood in broad daylight! Old Madam Zhang frowned when she heard this, "Have you seen clearly?" Coughing again? Vomiting blood again? ā
"Of course. He spit on the petals of the white begonia, and I could see it clearly! Zhang Zhenqin walked to Mrs. Zhang's side, half-knelt down, took Mrs. Zhang's hand, and cried: "Grandmother, I won't marry!" I don't want to marry Xie Dongli, that tuberculosis ghost! ā
Old Madam Zhang looked at Zhang Shaohong.
Zhang Shaohong snorted and said, "There is nothing." I've never heard of Xie Wu having tuberculosis, don't think about it too much. After a few days, his rash has faded, and I will go and see him in person. ā
When Zhang Zhenqin saw this, her father still refused to cancel the marriage contract, so he stood up angrily, stomped his feet, and said loudly: "I won't marry!" Die or marry! If you want to pull the Xie family, you can marry a concubine at will, or a distant concubine, why do you want me to marry?! With that, she left Mrs. Zhang's yard angrily and went back to her yard to sulk.
"Mother, it's me who is not good and spoils Zhenqin." Zhang Shaohong said embarrassedly, he wanted to reprimand Zhang Zhenqin, but Zeng Huiyan looked at him with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't harden his heart to scold her.
Old Madam Zhang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." If you don't teach your daughter well, it will only hurt other people's affairs. All you have to do is teach your son well. The daughter is from someone else's family, but the son is from his own family. ā
Zeng Huiyan's face was flushed when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Mother, it's not good for the daughter-in-law, so the daughter-in-law will teach Qin'er a lesson." As she spoke, she covered her sleeves and cried, just like Mrs. Zhang bullying her.
Zhang Shaohong was so anxious that he chased out, "Hui Yan! Hui Yan! Don't cry! ā
When Mrs. Zhang saw her son leave like this, she was so angry that her liver hurt, and she pounded the Luohan bed with her fist, shook her head and said, "No, if it goes on like this, our Zhang family will be dragged down by this woman." ā
"Old lady, Mrs. Zeng is the original wife of the uncle's Ming media, why don't you save some face for the uncle. And Mrs. Zeng gave birth to two sisters-in-law to the Zhang family......" The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Zhang sank in her heart and hurriedly persuaded quietly.
Old Madam Zhang's face became more and more gloomy, and she slowly shook her head and said, "No! I appeased him for more than ten years just for the sake of his face. Now the woman is more and more Najo, her daughter and son, and if I say a little, she will make that demonic tone, as if I had tried her, and give me eye medicine in front of Shaohong. - Hmph, I've tolerated her for so many years, and I didn't let her know what was wrong, but I kicked my nose in the face more and more! ā
The mother-in-law knew that Mrs. Zhang had a tough temperament, and for the benefit of the Zhang family, she would definitely not be soft-hearted, and she didn't dare to persuade again, so she silently gave the eldest lady Zeng Huiyan some wax in her heart.
"Hui Yan is from a small family, so he really can't be the head of the house." Old Madam Zhang sighed and rubbed her forehead, "She can only be a concubine at most." At that time, I was also looking at the boss's face, thinking that the boss was so capable, even if his wife was useless, it would be fine. Who knows, marrying a fool will bring disaster to three generations! Bad luck at home! Woe to the family! ā
The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Zhang hurriedly persuaded: "The eldest young master and the second young master are now in school, and there will be one person in high school." ā
Old Madam Zhang glanced at her mother-in-law sarcastically, "You know." How many benefits did Zeng Huiyan give you, and you kept saying good things about her in front of me? ā
The woman was taken aback, the sweat on her back came out, and she knelt down busily, her whole body trembled like chaff, and she trembled and said, "The slave and maid don't dare...... Slaves don't dare to ......"
"Hehe......" Mrs. Zhang didn't expose her, shook the fan, and said softly: "Don't be deaf or dumb, don't be a family." I understand all of this. But the daughters-in-law have to have the eyesight to know what is for the good of the Zhang family, not just for her own good, for the good of her house. ā
Old Madam Zhang nodded to the woman, "You get up, go to the steward of the outer courtyard and make it clear that you will not be on duty by my side from now on, and you will go to the clothes room to be a washerwoman." ā
This is to send her out.
The mother-in-law's face was as earthy as earth, and she kowtowed to Mrs. Zhang, and was dragged away by the other two mothers-in-law.
ā¦ā¦
Mrs. Xie Lu Ruilan and Second Mrs. Xie Ning Shumei heard that Xie Dongli vomited blood, so they hurriedly came to see him.
Ah Shun stopped them at the door and said, "The fifth master has just taken a bath and rested. ā
Lu Ruilan looked into the room and asked, "What's going on today?" ā
Ah Shun scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "This, the little one doesn't know." But the fifth master said that it was okay, it should be fine. ā
After a few days, the red rash on Xie Donglian's face and body faded cleanly, and he couldn't see it at all.
The Xie family was relieved.
At dinner, Lu Ruilan, the eldest lady in charge of the inner courtyard of the Xie family, said to everyone: "Shen Xiang's family set up a wine and invited guests, saying that his granddaughter and grandson who had just entered Beijing from Jiangnan took the wind and washed the dust, and sent a post to our whole family. ā
