Chapter 513: Begging Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Because the scene of an old man holding a pregnant girl crying was too much, uh, amazing, and attracted passers-by to watch.
There were not a few, but dozens of onlookers. They blocked the water surrounding the two people of Cuihu, so that Cuihu was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
It's a pity that this is the entrance of the prison, and there is no crack in the ground, so Cuihu can't drill even if he wants to.
Fortunately, the old lady did not embarrass Cuihu for too long, but hugged her and cried for a while before leaving the gate of the prison.
The old lady was born as a farmer, and because she was favored by the Taifu at that time when she was ploughing, she soared into the sky and became Mrs. Taifu. The Taifu died, and the mother became an old lady by virtue of her son.
It's a pity that An Xian still maintained her stingy and picky problem after succeeding as Taifu. Others have to pick if they don't do well, they have to pick when they buy vegetables, and they have to pick everything they do, which makes others hate it.
The house was raided, the property was confiscated, and if he lived with the old lady, he would definitely be picked on to cry. But there is no way for others to be picky, she has no money, no home, no way to live at home like everyone else, the only thing she can do is to rely on the old lady, find a place to rest, and coax her to give her the silver, and then beat the child and fly away.
But when Cuihu saw Mrs. An's nearly dilapidated house, she suddenly wanted to cry.
This house is too dilapidated.
It's not that Cuihu dislikes it, but that this house is really too dilapidated. The roof was made of tiles like ordinary people, but the tiles had rotted a lot, and even the two of them could see the tiles falling outside.
If only the tiles were like that, it would have been fine, but when they entered the house, they discovered a particularly important problem.
There was a very large hole in the center of the room, through which the sky could be clearly seen.
Except for the rotten house and a hole in the house, nothing else was a big deal.
The kitchen utensils are all available, clothes are also available, and firewood is also available, so it is still possible to stay.
It's just that the problem of living is solved, and the problem of eating comes out. The kitchen utensils are all available, but there is no firewood, no rice and no vegetables. Oh no, you can't say that, it's supposed to be rice, but there are bugs. There are vegetables, but they are yellow and rotten.
For Cuihu and the pampered old lady, these things can't even compare to the pig food they eat in their cell.
"Old lady, what are we going to eat?"
Cuihu is pregnant, and it is normal for her to want to eat and eat a lot. Eating more does not mean that people eat everything and don't pick anything. Even, even this kind of thing can be eaten without changing its face.
"Just eat this!" The old lady also knew that pregnant women should not eat these, but should eat fish and clean vegetables or something, but they were in a hurry to copy the house, and they didn't have time to bring the private money, let alone buy vegetables and fish for themselves and her cheap daughter-in-law.
"Just eat this..."Cuihu touched his stomach and said pitifully, "Old lady, it doesn't matter what the concubine eats." It's just that the concubine is pregnant with your grandson in her belly. How can you, how can you follow your concubine to suffer this kind of sin. ”
Hearing her grandson, Mrs. An's face softened a lot.
"I also know that you are pregnant with the flesh and blood of your brother, my grandson. But as you can see in our current situation, if you don't eat these, you will only be hungry. The old lady pursed her lips, "Is there anything you can do to make us eat something delicious?" ”
"Yes!" Cui Hu opened his mouth without thinking. In the end, after knowing how fast his mouth was, "It's just that this method is more aggrieved for the old lady, and I don't know if the old lady is willing to try." ”
"Grievance? Scold. The old lady sneered, "I, the first-class lady, stayed in the prison for a day, and was dragged to the execution room by Jiang Huan's yellow-haired boy and the prison guards to watch the most noisy people torture, and was sold by my favorite daughter-in-law, what could be more wronged than these?" ”
"The old lady really doesn't feel wronged?" Cuihu looked at the old lady suspiciously, "If the old lady feels that she is not wronged, then the concubine will tell her opinion." ”
"What are you chirping?!" The old lady looked at the aunt who was holding herself up with one hand dissatisfied, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”
"Yes." Seeing that the old lady was like this, Cuihu didn't care if it would hurt anyone, but said, "Old lady, you can go to the old master's former protégé, or their grandmother or something, and ask them to give us something to eat." It doesn't have to be good, as long as it's better than this. There are many protégés of the master, and there are many people who support them, so many people, there will always be a person who remembers the kindness of the master and is willing to give us something. As long as we seize the opportunity and say more good things in front of them, there will definitely be people who will be willing to give us food. With the silver, we can buy things and start a small business so that we don't have to starve. ”
"Then do as you say!" The old lady hesitated for a while, and finally agreed with what Cuihu said.
It's easier said than done. An Xian did have many protégés, and many of those protégés relied on An Xian to get to that position. But the protégé was not a fool, and he helped them when he knew that An Xian was killed, his family property was confiscated, and Jiang Huan was on top. Therefore, the old lady begged all the people, and only borrowed five hundred taels, some leftovers and a few clothes worn by the maid.
It's too much of a deception!
The old lady looked at the things in her hand, and her fists clenched tighter and tighter. She looked at the thing next to her, and then at the maid who threw it in front of her with a haughty face.
"Get out of here!" The maid said, twisting her body and leaving.
"Let's go." Not only the old lady, Cuihu's face was very ugly. But ugly is ugly, don't be a fool if you put food in front of you.
And although these are leftovers, there is meat and vegetables in them, which is much better than their rotten leftovers.
That's why she picked up the things that others had given and helped the old lady out of here.
But at the moment when they turned around and left, Baili Ao and Shen Yan happened to come here.
They looked at the two, and the corners of their mouths hooked up an inexplicable arc.
When Baili Ao first came to the capital, he was invited to Anfu as a guest, so Shen Yan, the chief attendant, had a face-to-face with Mrs. An, and only heard him say: "Isn't this the old lady of the An family?" How did it end up like this? I remember that when An Xian was here, everyone in their family was very beautiful. ”
"It's his son who is beautiful, not her." Baili Ao smiled, "They are used to enjoying wealth and wealth. The son is gone. The family property has been raided again, what if this is not the case? ”
