243 Stepmother's troubles
On the third day after the funeral, Ning Beichuan and Gu Xiyue were sent away, and the people who were scattered by Feng Duyu came back with news.
Yun Ying didn't look for a carriage to go out of the city! The only way to the border city was Yucheng, and there was no one who looked like Yun Ying in Yucheng, and it took a lot of manpower and financial resources to declare this line broken. Just when Feng Duyou was almost fainting with anger again, Xin Li, who was tracking in the direction of the South Gate Market, made a breakthrough.
After receiving ten taels of silver, a gangster in the Nancheng vegetable market "suddenly" remembered that two days before the regent's burial, he had seen a woman who had lost her soul in the afternoon, and according to his description, the woman's physical characteristics were basically the same as Yun Ying. Feng Duyu is also a dead horse and a live horse doctor now, Yun Ying has been missing for several days, and he has no clue, so he can't be allowed to look for it so aimlessly. He believed that Yi Yunying's survivability would definitely live well somewhere, but she was still angry, otherwise she would have appeared a long time ago. It's just that time passes day by day, and after the fifth or seventh day of Zhongyi Gong is the day when he sets off for Jiangnan, more than half a month has passed, he can no longer sit still, although Sanli City is big, but he believes that there will be unusual changes where Yunying is there, as for what the change is, he himself has some expectations.
Where there is Yunying, the biggest change is naturally the quality of life. It's only been half a month, and Changji Restaurant has gradually become prosperous, except for Gu Banniang, who still goes out early and returns late every day, even the neighbors see it in their eyes.
Yun Ying has become more and more thoughtful, and after the store began to have repeat customers, she would deliberately prepare more broth and meat dishes every day. After cleaning up at night, the leftover things will be sent out from east to west, so that the neighboring families know that Qiao Mutou has a daughter who can talk sweetly.
Of course, the two families who got the most benefits were Ma Fang and Ma Yuan, and I don't know if Yun Ying was particularly old or something else, Ma Jia's grandmother often came to sit after knowing that Yun Ying was pregnant and returned to her mother's house, teaching Yun Ying some taboos for conceiving and giving birth to children, and also took Yun Ying to the embroidery shop in Zhongli County to buy some rags, and taught Yun Ying how to sew some small clothes, small shoes and socks for the child.
Women, when they get together, they will inevitably talk about some gossip, and after asking Yunying's man several times to no avail, the grandmother of the Ma family also changed the topic, at first they were still neighbors, whose children found a job to do, whose man poured two bowls of yellow soup and beat his daughter-in-law, whose children were naughty and exposed the tiles on the roof of whose house, etc. Ten days down. The grandmother of the Ma family felt more and more that Yun Ying was not as out of the ordinary little daughter-in-law, and she was sincerely helping Qiao Mutou and Qiao Yuanchang to support the family, and after watching these days, the grandmother of the Ma family finally couldn't help but persuade Yun Ying to save a little more private money.
Outsiders naturally don't know that Qiao Mutou and Yuanchang are paid. Yun Ying didn't intend to explain either. After listening to the Ma family's grandmother's construction, she just smiled. He lowered his head again and tried to embroider a cute kitty on the red belly pocket.
This perfunctory appearance couldn't help but make the Ma family's grandmother anxious, and looked left and right at the people in the restaurant outside the patio who were busy with their own things, and her old man simply moved the small bench to Yun Ying's side. lowered his voice and persuaded: "Child, although the meat of this family is rotten in the pot, if the meat of your family is stewed, it will flow to other houses." Listen to Grandma's words, leave yourself some more money to keep around, you still have a mouth in your belly waiting for you to raise. ”
"Grandma Ma, what do you mean by that?" Yun Ying put down the needle and thread, and had a premonition that the Ma family's grandmother wanted to say something. To be honest, she is now basically sure that Gu Banniang has a problem, but there is no opportunity to expose the problem, if she rashly talks to Gu Banniang, she is afraid that it will make Yuanchang, a child who has just worked hard, languid, so she has been pretending not to know. However, if everyone outside knew about this matter, wouldn't the Qiao family be regarded as fools again? Under the two measures, Yun Ying did not plan to take any more resigned measures against Gu Banniang.
"Your stepmother is really not a thing." Since the grandmother of the Ma family opened her mouth, she naturally wanted to continue, and after taking a sip, she continued: "Did she tell you to go to Liu Yuanwai's house to do pulp washing work?" ”
Yun Ying nodded, Gu Banniang's reason has not changed for thousands of years.
"Believe in her as far as your family is concerned. There are dozens of slaves outside the family, so could they send her a pulp to wash her mother-in-law? Speaking of this matter, we have to start from the year ago, a year ago, Liu Yuanwai's daughter got married, married to the new county Cheng in Shangli County, I heard that he is young and promising, and he will participate in the spring examination next year, but at that time, the county Cheng lord has not settled down, this family affair is done in Liu Yuanwai's house, and he is too busy for a while, and the three stewards of the Liu family came to us to find a dozen women at the street to help, and your stepmother is not too old to be clean and smart, so she was naturally selected. But it's so strange that after the year, everyone else took their wages and went home, and she was the only one who said that the lady in charge looked up to her and was willing to give her some pulp washing. ”
Hearing this, Yun Ying narrowed her eyes, there was really such a coincidence, the son-in-law of a squire in Zhongli County turned out to be Qiao Yuangui? Thinking about it, Qiao Yuangui is now twenty-one years old, and he said before that several daughters-in-law in Lijia Village have been disliked by the Li family and the little Li family, and I don't know if this daughter of Liu Yuanwai can meet the harsh requirements of this wonderful mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The grandmother of the Ma family didn't know that Yun Ying was already out of the way, grabbed the bamboo tube cup on the side and poured it violently, and continued after burping in satisfaction: "It's a pity that we all felt that such a good thing didn't fall on my daughter-in-law before, now! Phew! In fact, the dark/prostitute work can only be done by your stepmother. ”
"You are also pregnant, otherwise Grandma would be embarrassed to say these words. This matter was first discovered by Ma Fang's father, Liu Yuanwaifu was on Zhongli Jingyan Street, and the back door was opened in an alley on Jingkou Street. The houses in the back alleys of Jingkou Street are all the kind of small households, and Ma Fang's father went to the countryside to repair benches and chairs. Coincidentally, he entered one of them, it was still a morning, he heard your queen mother next door beckoning people to enter the door, at that time my stupid son thought it was a mistake, but I didn't expect the person who entered the door to open his mouth and said, 'Baniang baby, didn't your wood disease ghost feed you yesterday?' 'Oh, I heard that my son was covered with goosebumps, but the master of my son's work was still laughing, and asked me if my son had any silver on him, and if he had silver, he could go to the next door and be happy......
The grandmother of the Ma family said a lot, and the more Yun Ying listened, the more frightened she became, Gu Banniang's behavior was more than she imagined! After the Ma family's grandmother finished speaking, she found that Yun Ying's expression was dull, and she felt pitiful when she thought about it, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, anyone who had this thing must be worried. Thinking of this, the grandmother of the Ma family patted Yun Ying on the shoulder: "Yun Ying, don't worry about this, Grandma Ma will not go out to talk nonsense even if she is rotten in her stomach, if she talks nonsense, our Ma Fang and Ma Yuan will not be able to find a wife for the rest of their lives." ”
"Grandma, don't swear by the child." Yun Ying was taken aback, thinking that with the gossip of the Ma family's grandmother, she was the last few people who knew Gu Banniang's bad deeds, who knew that in the blink of an eye, the Ma family's grandmother would swear by the life events of her two grandsons.
"This is also what my son said when he saw my daughter-in-law and your stepmother walking a little closer, and my daughter-in-law was scared half to death, and then I didn't even dare to look at your stepmother, your grandma and I also greeted the two of them after I asked about it, don't talk about people behind your back, don't say anything else, they still have this idea to remember." Grandma Ma sighed, and looked at the restaurant in front of her with sympathetic eyes:
"If it weren't for Yun Ying, you were the same as Ma Fang and Ma Yuanhe's own brother, and you changed your way to supplement our family, my wife wouldn't have told you this like this. Others know that they are chasing after the wind, but the old woman knows that the yard she goes to every day is the one with chili skewers hanging at the door of the back alley of Jingkou Street. Just watch the chili skewers hang out, and your stepmother will be inside. ”
After saying so much, the grandmother of the Ma family also felt that it was too contrary to her usual life, so she collected the needle and thread and left in a hurry, leaving Yunying to sit in the patio for a long time...... (To be continued......)
