Chapter 293
Speaking of this responsibility, they are still your father-in-law and mother-in-law, can you bear to watch them helpless in their last years? ”
Murong Feng said: "Don't worry, I will take care of them, tomorrow I will ask someone to send rice, noodles, money and grain, do you think this is okay?" ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "I hope you don't do these things for me, but from the heart, from your conscience, so you don't have to ask me if I'm okay, just ask yourself." Then she left.
Murong Feng originally wanted to please her, but she didn't expect her to say this, poured a basin of cold water on his head, he clenched his fists, and there was no way, so he had to swallow his anger.
On the second day, he remembered this matter, so he instructed his subordinates to take rice, flour, money and food to comfort Xiaozhuzi and Qiuyue's family, Xiaozhuzi's mother saw Murong Feng send someone to send something, and naturally greeted them happily, and after receiving the things, she complained that they had been thinking of her for so long, and told them that they would send something to themselves during the New Year's holidays in the future, and never forget themselves, and said that she remembered the things in the past, and gave them a preventive shot.
And Qiu Yue's family had a bad life of 10 points, because they used to rely on Qiu Yue to live, and they pointed to her monthly money to live, since Qiu Yue died, although Murong Feng compensated some money, but the money was quickly spent, and their family fell into the point of having no rice to cook.
Later, there was no choice but to sell their children and daughters, or to work for other people, barely making ends meet, who called their family too many people, but Murong Feng couldn't help them all the time, the next person just put down the things and left, Qiu Yue's family was very grateful.
This matter passed like this, and in the next few days, Chu Xiaoxi and Old Madam Murong got along well, in addition to talking and chatting with her every day, she also gave her a massage, and then told some of her experiences in various places to pass the time for Old Madam Murong. Old Madam Murong likes Chu Xiaoxi very much, and feels that it is really a wise choice for Shangguan to allow her to be his wife, besides, the two families are still world friends, and the children of the two families can be together, which really fulfills one of their dreams.
She also told Chu Xiaoxi that she was going to send a letter to their family members to tell them the good news, Chu Xiaoxi snorted dispensably, in fact, she had no dealings with those people in the Chu family for a long time, and she had long forgotten about them, but if Old Madam Murong really wanted to contact them, she had no way to stop it, she could only go with the flow, anyway, they would still leave in the future, and they would not meet with those people of the Chu family again.
Just when they were living a peaceful life here, in fact, earth-shaking changes had taken place on the Chu family's side. Two or three years ago, the Chu family's business began to decline, and then it got worse and worse, and in the end, they actually lost a mess, and even sold their houses and land, and finally they had nowhere to go, so they thought of this ancestral house, and planned to come here to avoid the limelight, recuperate, and prepare to make a comeback.
When Chu Xiaoxi accompanied Old Madam Murong, they had already moved their families here, and they were only a day's journey away from that ancestral house at this time.
On this day, Chu Xiaoxi always felt very uneasy in her heart, and always felt that something would happen, so she told Shangguan Yun about it.
Shangguan Yun used his mind to inspect around, but he didn't find anything, because he didn't know the rest of the Chu family, he told Chu Xiaoxi that he didn't feel any danger, Chu Xiaoxi nodded, and said that maybe he was a little sensitive, or he had a delusion, or he was a little tired recently, and then Shangguan Yun asked her to take a break, don't think too much, and let him accompany Old Madam Murong.
Chu Xiaoxi nodded, and didn't go to his heart, and at this time, Chu Zongren was taking Chu Xiaobei and Chu Xiaonan to the ancestral house, and they arrived at the ancestral house that night, banging on the door, they thought Chu Xiaoxi was still here.
Along the way, they kept bumping, endured all the hardships, slept in the open air, and came here because they wanted to go back to the house immediately and have a good rest. When they were on the way, Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaobei had already planned, after coming here, they would let Chu Xiaoxi be their maid, serve them to bathe and change clothes, and bring them food to the table, and then let them laugh and vent their anger, and then throw her into the firewood room.
Who knew that their wishful thinking was good, but the one who came to open the door was a bad old man, and they could hardly recognize this bad old man.
The old man guarding the door never thought that Chu Zongren would suddenly come here with his family, and when he opened the door and saw their group of people appearing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't recognize it for a while.
Chu Zongren recognized him first, and said unhappily: "Are you old Zhao? How did you get it like this? You are the face of our Chu family, you will open the door when any guest comes, you look at yourself, you don't know how to freshen up and dress up, just appear like this ghost, if you don't scare people to death in the middle of the night! ”
The old man at the gate hurriedly said, "It turns out that you are back from the owner, please come in." I knew you were back, so I cleaned the yard and tidied up the room, but now I haven't sorted anything out. ”
Chu Zongren frowned and said, "It's too late to sort it out now, but let's prepare a table for us to eat first, we're starving!" Then bring in the wagon from outside and feed the horses. ”
The old janitor was embarrassed and said, "Then what should I do first?" There's no one else here but me! ”
Chu Zongren said in surprise: "Only you?!" ”
The old man closed the door, nodded and said, "I'm alone, there's no one else here." ”
Chu Zongren glared at him and said, "What about the third miss, where is the third miss?" Didn't I tell her to come here and look at the ancestral hall a long time ago? Where did she go? ”
The old man at the gate hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to the master, the third lady has already left here, saying that she has gone out to travel, and I am the only one left here." ”
After hearing this, Chu Zongren snorted angrily and said, "It's really unbelievable that there is such a thing!" I called her here to see the ancestral hall and repent, who knew that she actually went out to have a good time, it is simply unreasonable! Did she say when she would be back? ”
The old janitor said: "I didn't say it, I just said that I was going to leave for a while, and I don't know when I will come back.
