It wasn't until he saw the gate of the Fang family that Luo Qinghe knew Yueniang's purpose.

"Mother, I know you want to come to pay a New Year's greeting, but will this make people think that we are a bit of a sycophant?" Luo Qinghe hesitated.

"What does it matter! Our family is not living on the streets now, and we have to thank the Fang family for their mercy and giving us this livelihood work, so we should come to pay a New Year's greeting and thank you! Yueniang patted Luo Qinghe's hand and explained

Luo Qinghe thought about it, so he didn't speak again, bowed his head and followed Yueniang into Fang's house.

When going to the old lady's courtyard, they had to pass by the kitchen on the way, and the mother and daughter had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard in front of the kitchen, and they met Aunt Song.

"Aunt Song has a good New Year! A few days ago, I heard Qinghe say that your hand was injured, and now it is better? Yueniang took the initiative to come forward and greet her.

"Much better! What are you two doing here today? Aunt Song listened, showed Yueniang's hand that had been scabbed, and said with a smile.

"Isn't this the New Year, I want to take Qinghe to pay a New Year's greeting to the old lady and the second lady of the Fang family."

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Song's face changed, and she just wanted to say something, but she heard the chef behind her and a group of people in the back kitchen chatting lively.

"Isn't this Yueniang? You brought Qinghe over to give the old lady a New Year's greeting! It just so happens that the old lady and the second lady are idle right now, why don't you follow me! When I saw the mother and daughter, the chef said with an unprecedentedly pleasant face.

Those who are overzealous will have a plan! Luo Qinghe saw that the chef suddenly had such a good attitude, and his heart sank.

But because of the identity of the chef's mother, she didn't dare to brush her face, so she could only quietly squeeze Yueniang's hand and said, "Then it's troublesome grandma." ”

Aunt Zhou has been following the chef for many years, and when she heard what the chef said, she made up her mind and quietly went to the second lady's courtyard.

"I don't look for them, they send them to the door themselves!" The second lady listened to Aunt Zhou's words and sneered.

But Yueniang's mother and daughter didn't know what was wrong, but they honestly followed the chef to the second lady's courtyard and paid New Year's greetings to the second lady.

Several people exchanged a few words of greetings, but when they saw the second lady, they suddenly sighed and said:

"This year has been a little bit unstoppable...... Recently, the court has not been very quiet, my lord's career is not smooth, and my mother's business has lost a lot because of poor management! The Fang family is such a big business, and the daily expenditure is a large amount of silver, and the days are getting more and more difficult...... I can't do it, I can only use my jewelry as a ......."

As soon as these words come out, no matter how dull people are, they should hear the deep meaning behind them!

Luo Qinghe said in his heart: Why did the second lady look at her unpleasantly?

"Second Madam, in fact, we are not here to give you New Year's greetings today." Yueniang also saw the clue:

"Since the accident at home, thanks to the help of the Fang family, we can be fed and clothed, and now that we know that you are in trouble, then we can't trouble you anymore no matter what...... Years later, I led Qinghe to find another way to make a living. ”

"How can this work! There are still old people in your family to support, and the Fang family's big business is not bad for your wages no matter what, so you can stay here! The second lady was anxious when she heard this, and quickly refused.

Seeing that she was so hypocritical again, and her attitude was exactly the same as when she was transferred to the study last time, Luo Qinghe was relieved and said firmly: "It's better not to trouble the second lady." ”

The two sides tugged and pushed off several times, and the second lady made an unbearable attitude, and reluctantly said: "Then since this is the case, I will not keep you!" Mama, you can take an extra month's salary and reward Yueniang! ”

Hearing this, Yueniang was a little embarrassed, and repeatedly excused herself: "How can this work? ”

When the second lady saw that Yueniang didn't want it, she wanted to play Fang Cai's 'reluctantly' trick again.

was about to speak, but Luo Qinghe suddenly said: "Mother, don't shirk anymore, this is also the second lady's heart." Besides, we take advantage of people, and if Mr. Zhao still wants to eat snacks at that time, people will come to look for us! ”

Luo Qinghe just carefully went through the events of the past few days in his heart: he has been very low-key recently, so most of the things that can make the second lady unhappy are the box of dim sum.

Hearing Luo Qinghe mention the dim sum again, the second lady finally couldn't hold back, her face was dissatisfied, she rolled her eyes and said: "Mr. Zhao is the young master's teacher after all, if there is anything to do directly with the young master, what do you want you to do?" ”

The second lady's attitude just confirmed Luo Qinghe's suspicions: there was definitely something wrong with the basket of dim sum!

Luo Qinghe glanced at Aunt Zhou, suddenly had a plan in his heart, bowed his head and said, "What the second lady said is true!" Then I'll take my mother away......"

"Ah yes, before leaving, I want to thank Aunt Zhou, there was no one in the kitchen at that time, and thanks to Aunt Zhou for helping me watch it, I personally gave it to the young master!"

When the chef heard what she meant, her heart sank, and she said: How can there be Aunt Zhou's matter here?

In fact, the reason why the second lady wanted to drive Yueniang and Luo Qinghe away today was because the elated appearance of the young master when he came back from the Zhao family yesterday made the second lady very upset, and later heard that the young master went to the Zhao family to show himself and successfully worshiped the teacher, but his own brother An was not found, so he was so angry that he made a big fuss.

Later, the old lady really had no choice, in order to appease the second lady, she could only let the young master go to the ancestral hall on Chinese New Year's Eve, and let him lead An Ge'er to Mr. Zhao's house the next day to pay New Year's greetings.

The second lady saw that her goal had been achieved, so she stopped.

The chef who was standing on the side thought that Luo Qinghe and the young master were colluding to give him the dim sum, but now Luo Qinghe said that it was given by Aunt Zhou...... What made the second lady unhappy, but it was not only Yueniang's mother and daughter!

"Didn't you deliver that snack yourself?" The second lady heard Luo Qinghe say this, and wondered.

"It's not me! Since I entered the Fang Mansion, I have never spoken to that young master, and I don't even know where he lives, let alone to deliver snacks! If the second lady doesn't believe it, you can ask Cui Ling, when I entrusted the dim sum to Aunt Zhou that day, Cui Ling also saw it. ”

The second lady regretted it a little when she heard it, since it was not sent by Luo Qinghe, she insisted on driving the two away, for fear that she would fall into the hands of others; But if you want to take back your own talents...... She still couldn't pull it off, so she could only say embarrassedly: "Mama, what are you going to do!" I can't say anything like that! ”

"Forget it, second lady, it's not a big deal, don't blame Mama." After Luo Qinghe finished speaking, he led Yueniang and left.

Although he has to bow his head under the eaves of people, his identity is a subordinate, and the owner should deal with it as he wants.

But the two ladies were endlessly looking for faults, treating her as a pug who came and went at any time, and the three Luo Qinghe were very unhappy in their hearts, and secretly said in their hearts: The old lady is not waiting anymore.

As a result, as soon as Yueniang's mother and daughter left, the second lady slapped the table heavily, glared at the chef and said sharply: "What are you doing!" Let Aunt Zhou come to see me! ”

Ay...... I have helped her a lot over the years, and I can be regarded as doing my best to her! sighed in his heart, I was afraid that this level would be difficult, and now I could only abandon the car and push Aunt Zhou out.

After a while, Aunt Zhou knelt in front of the second lady, her legs trembled with fright, and when the second lady finished asking, Aunt Zhou knew what was going on, and hurriedly made an excuse:

"Luo Qinghe did ask me to help her watch the dim sum! But then suddenly I was asked to help in the storeroom, and I forgot about it......"

But the second lady didn't believe Aunt Zhou's nonsense, and said coldly: "If this little bit of work in the kitchen makes you so powerless, in case you die of exhaustion in the Fang family one day, I can't afford that responsibility!" You delicate body, go home and raise it! ”

Hearing the words of the second lady, Aunt Zhou's face was like ashes: she originally wanted to clean up the arrogant little girl, but she didn't expect to put herself in in the end!

Aunt Zhou saw that the chef didn't mean to speak for herself, so she could only cry and leave the Fang Mansion.

Here, the mother and daughter of the Wang family are walking on their way home.

"Just now when we left, why did you suddenly mention Aunt Zhou?" Yueniang heard Luo Qinghe's meaningful words when she was in the Fang family just now, and she didn't understand it at the time, so she asked.

"We haven't worked in the Fang family for a few days, but we have been harmed by Aunt Zhou several times, and she has been squeezing us with guns and sticks on weekdays, now that I have a chance to take revenge, how can I let her go!" Luo Qinghe snorted coldly.

"Your temper is really like mine!" Yueniang smiled and then asked, "I don't know what the second lady will do with Aunt Zhou this time?" ”

"What else can I do? It's nothing more than letting her kneel and whipping her again, but the most relieving thing for me is to ask the second lady to drive Aunt Zhou out of the Fang Mansion! ”

Luo Qinghe gritted his teeth and scolded Sister-in-law Zhou a few more times at Yueniang.

"It's all my fault...... In fact, my mother didn't want to go to other people's houses to be a person, but at that time, I saw that the Fang family's treatment was good and could solve our family's urgent needs, so I went...... Baby, although we have been working as slaves for a few days, you must not treat yourself as a slave in the future! Yueniang seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Luo Qinghe's eyes full of worry.

"Mother~ What are I doing when I'm idle?" Luo Qinghe saw that Yueniang was a little uselessly worried, and hurriedly comforted.

"Alas......" Yueniang listened to Luo Qinghe's comfort, but still sighed and said: "Although your father is gone, I remember what he said." ”

"Your father is a scholar, try to say that you must be dignified, don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, if you let your father know that I let you go to the current person, I don't know what it will be!"

Yueniang said, and she shed tears poignantly.

"Mother, can't we do it? What's wrong with being a person for a few days, we are making money with our own hands, and my father will definitely understand you if he knows! ”

Seeing that comfort was useless, Luo Qinghe gently stroked Yueniang's back, and could only change the topic and said, "Mother, I haven't seen my father yet!" What kind of person is he? ”

"Your father, he's not an ordinary person! Your father has been reading poetry since he was a child, and those obscure books seem to him to be the most interesting! ”

As soon as she talked about her family, Yueniang suddenly chattered, and along the way, Luo Qinghe sorted out her father's life.

Luo Qingwen, whose ancestral home is Guangling County, was originally an official in his family, and his family is well-off, Luo Qinwen was also a handsome young man with a good demeanor, but his fate was unfortunate.

Listening to Yueniang, Luo Qingwen was originally the youngest son in the family, and he was loved by thousands of people, but later he didn't know what happened to the family, so he was the only one who was rescued with some belongings, and finally when he met the Wang family, he had been hungry for several days.

The Wang family still opened a dim sum shop, and Yueniang was kind-hearted, so she took him in to work in the shop.

Later, the two gradually fell in love, and the second elder of the Wang family saw that Luo Qingwen was a down-to-earth and honest person, and he really put Yueniang on the tip of his heart, so he agreed to the marriage of the two.

Within two years, Yueniang became pregnant with Luo Qinghe.

Later, when he heard that Guangling was calmer, Luo Qingwen wanted to go back to find his relatives, but he never returned.

Yueniang gently stroked a polished shiny wooden box, and said slowly: "I believe that one day your father will come back!" ”

Luo Qinghe was curious about the contents of the wooden box, so he took it and opened it to take a look: it was a thin satin lining, and there was a marriage vow on a piece of red paper, the font was handsome and chic, and it was very good-looking.

"There is a fire in the middle of the house, and the rest is this one box......" Yueniang said wistfully.

"Mother, have you ever wanted to go to Guangling County to find my father?" Luo Qinghe seemed to have something in mind, and looked at Yueniang's eyes and said firmly.
