Hui Niang's illness is the top priority of the Shen, Lu, and Xie families...... Social status and face are won by Shen Xi, but you have to count on Hui Niang to support your family!

How can the pillars fall?

Xie Bolian did not have any confidence in his medical skills, but after he heard that Hui Niang was sick, he hurriedly took the medicine box left by his daughter and came over with Mrs. Xie to diagnose Hui Niang.

When the two of them came, Hui Niang had already woken up, but her body was very weak, her face was pale and bloodless, as if she was terminally ill.

"Father-in-law, take a look, what kind of illness is this shopkeeper?" The Zhou family was a little anxious, and they didn't even have time to tell the Xie family about their son's promotion.

Xie Bolian had a dark old face, put his hand on Hui Niang's wrist, and after a while, he hesitated and said: "Weakness, caused by daily work, it should be okay to recuperate." ”

Zhou Shi was slightly relieved when he heard this: "It's okay that it's not a big deal, sister, did you hear Dr. Xie's words?" You're not seriously ill, maybe you're just overworked, and then there's ...... Your Yuan Qi may be insufficient, so you fainted. ”

After all, he has been working in the pharmacy for several years, and Zhou has been in contact with large and small pathologies from time to time, and he has a good way of speaking.

Mrs. Xie took her husband by the hand, with a questioning look in her eyes...... You can't see a little problem with wind, heat and cold in your family, how can you diagnose people now?

In fact, Xie Bolian said that Hui Niang was tired, not because he diagnosed it from Hui Niang's pulse, but because of his decades of clinical diagnosis experience.

Hui Niang's face was not very good, but after asking carefully, she learned that Hui Niang used to be dizzy only occasionally, or she was uncomfortable when the menstrual period came, but she was usually hungry after resting, which was enough to prove that there was no serious illness.

Tired illness is not a big deal, but it needs to be meditated and recuperated, and it may be possible to put it on others, and the woman's family is at home with her husband and children, just rest for a few more days.

But who is Hui Niang? She is the president of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the entire Chamber of Commerce has to rely on her to bear it, as well as her own business to take care of, and the three families also rely on her to take care of her in many ways, so that life can be stable and rich, and it can be said that her safety depends on her alone.

"I think it's better to get some rest."

Mrs. Xie walked up to Hui Niang and said, "The big shopkeeper has been busy for so many years, and I have never seen you give yourself a vacation, and now that my little niece has grown up, it is ...... to hand over business matters to others."

These words were a little inappropriate for Mrs. Xie, an outsider, but in fact, Mrs. Xie cherished Hui Niang from the bottom of her heart.

What women need is mutual understanding, and now that her daughter is not around, Hui Niang is more meticulous than her daughter, which makes Mrs. Xie unbearable...... People are not related to themselves, and it is not easy to give their own money to live, why do they receive such a big favor from others?

Hui Niang smiled and said, "I...... I'm fine......"

She didn't believe it.

Zhou said categorically: "What's okay, it's settled, from tomorrow, you will have a good rest at home, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will ask people to say hello to the people over there in the Chamber of Commerce, you can't go for the time being, if you can't do it again, I'll just go to you and take it." ”

"Hmph, I'm the old lady of the champion, see which of them dares to disagree...... My father-in-law and mother-in-law, I forgot to tell you something, my son has just come back from writing a letter home, so I'll go downstairs and show it to you...... He was promoted, from the fifth grade, that is, the title of the official position is too awkward, I can't remember it. ”

Xie Bolian and his wife were originally sad, and they couldn't help but smile when they heard the words.

Finally, there is good news in the bad news, the son-in-law is promoted, and the daughter is one step closer to Mrs. Fate, and the social status of the Xie family will be a few points higher in the future, and it will be more face-saving to go out.

Hui Niang is sick, and the family always needs someone to take care of her, and it is not enough to count on Xiaoyu and Lu Xi'er, Zhou's side also has to take care of the family's affairs, cooking, taking care of the children, and washing clothes, all of which need manpower.

Originally, I was going to buy a few maids to come back, but at this time I finally started to look for them, but for a while, I couldn't find the tooth woman who had the maid resources in my hand, so I could only find a helper to do the work first, so Zhou went to the tenant family outside the city and invited a few girls who were not married and had strong eyes to come over and help with the pharmacy at home, Mrs. Xie also came to help take care of it, and the pharmacy and the Lu family finally had a little popularity.

Hui Niang is bedridden, but she is a person who can't be idle, even if she is in the hospital bed at home, she also asks people to take the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce and several shops jointly opened by several families, carefully calculate, and if she finds anything wrong, she gets up and writes out the annotations, and asks the people below to handle it immediately according to the regulations.

Seeing everything, Hui Niang did it herself, which made Zhou feel distressed.

"It's a pity that I don't have that ability, otherwise why would my sister work so hard? Otherwise, Zhang Luo found her an in-law. ”

Zhou had this idea and knew that she would not agree to it after telling Hui Niang, so he discussed it with Mrs. Xie in private.

A woman, no matter how much money she makes, is useless, she doesn't have a son by her side, who will give her a pension when she gets old in the future? said that it is a deep sisterhood now, but I don't know what the latter families are like, but Zhou's goal is to follow his son to the outside world of flowers to enjoy happiness, and it is impossible to always be by Hui Niang's side.

"Let's look for it privately, anyway, my sister is still old, even if she marries, she can still have children, it's a big deal...... Let's recruit her back. ”

In ancient times, things often happened, and with Hui Niang's net worth, it was not difficult to find someone to come back.

Mrs. Xie felt that something was a little inappropriate, and frowned and said, "I think ...... It's better to discuss this matter with the shopkeeper, otherwise it will ......"

Zhou said angrily: "There's nothing to hesitate, my sister is stubborn, and there is only one deceased husband in her heart, if she tells her so, she will definitely disagree with it in her heart...... Mother-in-law, what do you say? ”

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, it seemed that this champion lady was thinking very jumping, and she said as if she was forcing a good person to become a prostitute.

Is it really good for a widow to marry without asking the woman what she means?

However, Zhou's words are somewhat reasonable, and Mrs. Xie herself has no opinions, knowing that this champion mother has the ability, so she follows Zhou's.

Zhang Luo, within half a month, there were dozens of candidates sent over by the matchmaker, including even eighteen or nineteen-year-old scholars who had never taken a kiss.

Zhou scolded disdainfully: "The young man wants to marry an old daughter-in-law, who believes that he is not for silver?" What would we like to do with such a hairy boy? Hmph, we don't require physiognomy to learn, it doesn't matter if there is fame or not, but if you know how to be reasonable, you can stand up, so it's more stable! ”

When the Zhou family put out the request, there were many fewer people who provided options for matchmakers, but all scholars around the age of thirty, who did not marry a daughter-in-law, but people disdained to be rich, these scholars have always been arrogant, how could they bend their waists for money? As for those who continue to join the strings, it is even more impossible to agree to join the family, with the identity of Hui Niang, it is impossible to marry a concubine, to find a suitable one, it is best to die after the daughter-in-law, and then enter other people's families without a landing......

The matchmaker vigorously opened Luo, Hui Niang finally heard the girls talk about this on the hospital bed in Lufu, she hurriedly got out of bed, and before she took two steps, the soles of her feet were soft, but fortunately, there was a girl to help her not fall to the ground.

Hui Niang instructed someone to call Zhou and Mrs. Xie and made her position clear and clear: "...... I won't get married even if I die! My sister and Mrs. should have stopped thinking about it earlier."

Hui Niang's determination was something that Zhou and Mrs. Xie didn't expect, and they actually said all the dead words, that is, the matter was not negotiable, and the ones planned before could only be regarded as a farce.

Hui Niang sobbed: "Sister, you are making such a fuss, outsiders think that I don't abide by women's morals, and my heart is moved, so this will make you go out to find someone, what face do I have to go out to meet people in the future?" It's better to die! ”

Zhou's face was full of shame when she heard this, although she made her own decision on this matter, but the matchmaker outside didn't know, and if she publicized the matter, she might ruin Hui Niang's good reputation.

Zhou said dejectedly: "If you want to scold, even if you scold, it's my sister's fault...... However, I don't see that you have no place in your life, and I want you to have a companion in the future, so that you don't force yourself like this? ”

Hui Niang is reasonable, she knows that Zhou's is not doing this to ruin her reputation, she really sees her hard work in her eyes and wants to do something for her, but this sister is too careless, arbitrary and paranoid, and has done bad things with good intentions.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly came out to make peace, after all, she was an insider, and she always felt sorry for hiding from Hui Niang in this matter.

After Hui Niang cried, her mood improved slightly, and she said: "Sister, madam, I don't want to force myself to do anything to make money so hard, I just want to support myself, it's not that I don't plan for myself." Xiaoya will marry in the future, but ...... I won't let her suffer like me, and I'll be able to live well without you by my side......"

When Zhou heard this, he didn't feel good in his heart.

I have known Hui Niang for more than eight years, and eight years is enough time to see the true face of a person, how capable and strong Hui Niang is in her eyes, such a woman, how helpless she must be to rely on her own words?

Can't you just take a step and let yourself settle down for the rest of your life?

It is not an unforgivable sin for a widow to marry in these years!

Zhou and Mrs. Xie came out of the Lu Mansion, and as soon as they arrived at the door, Mrs. Li in the west of the city smiled like a dog's tail flower, and when she came to the two, she said:

"Two ladies, didn't you ask me to find a husband for Mrs. Lu before? I found a suitable one, this is the official who retired from the imperial court, don't think that he is old, in fact, he is not big, and he is not retired, but the elders in the family have to come back to guard the system, and now that the system is over, don't you want to go back to be an official, I heard that Lu Sun's ...... Phew, she is the daughter of the Sun family who is both talented and beautiful, and she wants to marry a stepfamily, and she will be prosperous and glorious for a lifetime! ”

Zhou was annoyed, and couldn't help but scold when he heard the words: "Didn't you say it, it's not impossible for a dead lady, but you want to enter the Lu Mansion, do you ask the official who is willing to join the mansion?" ”

Zhou's words made Mrs. Li very embarrassed.

People are officials, and they look down on widows, not as concubines but as stepfamilies, how much face is that? Can you marry an official woman, that is the ancestor burns high incense, and actually makes the family rich?

This crazy woman who even dares to fight the prefect is really extraordinary!

Even if Mrs. Li is unhappy, she can't be sarcastic, after all, what she is in front of is the champion mother, the wife of the official family, and the big man in Tingzhou Mansion who is now the number one, and she can't afford to be offended.

"Mrs. Shen, don't be in a hurry to refuse, why don't you go back and ask the daughter of the Sun family?" Mrs. Li said in a tentative tone.

"No need to ask. I wouldn't agree! ”

The voice came from the door of the inner courtyard, but it was Hui Niang who walked out with the help of Xiaoyu, she originally felt that her tone was not good just now, which embarrassed Zhou and Mrs. Xie, and wanted to chase it out to apologize, but she didn't expect to hear Mrs. Li's words.

"From now on, I will keep festivals for the rest of my life and never marry...... If you violate this oath, the sky will thunder and you will not die! ”
