Chapter 273: Thoughts across several courtyard walls
The matter of Lang Thirteen soon spread throughout the house, and there was no stop talking about it for a while.
If it is placed in ordinary people's homes, let alone losing thousands of dollars, even dozens of dollars are also a big deal.
And for the Zhao family, it is simply not worth mentioning, the former richest man, since the old lady Zhao has left a reputation for scattering wealth and good people for several generations.
Just a small number of silver dollars donated to the imperial court have reached millions of yuan, just to say that the old lady Zhao has donated those poor scholars and down-and-out children over the years, there are also hundreds of thousands of yuan, but now the daughter-in-law of the family has received the house for a thousand yuan, not to mention, but also to set up an IOU, and his biological uncle is rare to tighten his clothes and food, which is really infuriating.
Behind the scenes, the title of "cold tigress" was quietly installed for Suning'er.
No one will think that Lang Thirteen is unproductive, and he has to rely on his niece and niece-in-law to live at this age; Nor did anyone accuse him of being unmotivated and decadent.
In short, everything is not starting to be blamed on Suning'er.
can be so ruthless to his biological uncle, let alone outsiders, everyone is full of fear of her.
In the evening, Suning'er was a little hungry, so she ordered Shuang'er to cook some ginseng soup, drank some, and left a bowl for Zhao Yuanbai.
When Zhao Yuanbai came back, the ginseng soup was already a little cold, and Suning'er was ready to let Shuang'er go again.
Zhao Yuanbai made a cold face and stopped Shuang'er.
Suning'er didn't know why he was suddenly so low, sat down in front of him, and asked in person: "Husband, what kind of anger is this outside, which makes you so unhappy?" ”
Zhao Yuanbai sulked for a while, and then he was willing to answer truthfully: "I just went back to the house and heard that someone was talking about you in private. ”
"Oh, what are they talking about?"
Suning'er took a bowl of tea and drank it slowly.
Zhao Yuan couldn't be angry, stepped forward to hug her, and reproached her with love and hatred: "You little elf, why are you so cruel to your thirteenth uncle, these tongue-chewing people all say that you are a tigress with a cold nature." ”
"Tigress?"
Su Ning'er was a little surprised, it was the first time someone had given her such a nickname when she was so big.
She can be gentle, when did she become a tigress.
"A-Ning, you can get an IOU, how can you also take back that house, their uncle and nephew have no support, come to you and me, if we don't treat you well, wouldn't it be chilling", Zhao Yuanbai frowned, and said wistfully.
"I will return the money from that house to your Zhao family's treasury."
"It's not a matter of money," Zhao Yuanbai explained: "A-Ning, why don't you understand my thoughts, I don't want anyone to gossip about you behind your back." ”
His voice was very gentle, so that Suning'er couldn't get too angry, she leaned on Zhao Yuanbai's arms, and replied softly: "Why do you care about the eyes of others, you have never been this temperament, as long as you live your own life, wouldn't it?" ”
"But after all, it's your thirteenth uncle, you cut off the money between him and the Lang family, how to let them survive in the future, your mother and uncle are not easy to explain."
"How did I cut off their money", Su Ning'er said angrily: "They live in the house, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, they still have a consistent amount of money a month, and ordinary people's families only have this income a year, how else do you entertain them?" ”
Zhao Yuanbai seemed to be a little impatient: "How can you compare our Zhao family with ordinary people's families, where do the two big men don't need to entertain, I heard Aya say that today he went to the thirteenth uncle's side and even had to order his subordinates to bring it, this spread out, isn't it a joke." ”
"You always say that you are afraid of being laughed at now, you didn't say that before you married me", Suning'er got up from him, and lost her good face:
"Zhao Yuanbai, am I doing this for myself, I know you are kind, but I married you to live a good life with you, and think more about this family, because of a thirteenth uncle, you have come to quarrel with me several times, I have already said it, you don't have to deal with his affairs."
After a pause, she continued: "He was able to lose 400 guan last time, this time he was 1,000 guan, and next time it may be 10,000 guan, if this goes on like this, how much of your Zhao family's family business can be used for him to lose, do you want me to become a wicked woman who is spurned by others like Aunt Liu?" ”
"How could I compare you to Aunt Liu", Zhao Yuanbai felt that she had completely misinterpreted her meaning, and said bitterly: "In my heart, you are not the same kind of person at all, I know all this you do." ”
"Yes, you don't think of me as the second Aunt Liu, but what will others think, you Aya also thinks that Aunt Liu is a flawless woman, don't you hate her in front of you and the Zhao family?"
Su Ning'er suddenly felt very bitter and aggrieved in her heart.
She also understands that there is a kind of love called love and Wu, and she knows Zhao Yuanbai's love for herself, but she doesn't want to be pampered and arrogant and become a spurned woman.
Although Lang Thirteen is not her biological uncle, and she has no real blood relationship with the Su family, the Qi family treats her well, and she will not really let Lang Thirteen fall to the point where there is no one to rely on.
At the moment, he just wants to try to change his temperament, others can't understand her hard work, how can Zhao Yuanbai misunderstand her, she is really stunned.
This night, after she washed, she drove Zhao Yuanbai out of the bedroom, went straight into the quilt, pulled the bed curtain tightly, and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
Zhao Yuanbai was angry in vain, seeing that she was so angry, he didn't want to be bored, and he didn't want to be too humble, so he simply went to Zhao Wulang's side to make do.
Zhao Wulang is an understanding person, probably knows what his brother quarreled with his sister-in-law about, the two brothers were lying on the bed, he said earnestly: "Sister-in-law is actually for our Zhao family, I appreciate my sister-in-law's bearing, not partial, not favoritism, fair and fair, in her I suddenly saw the shadow of my mother, no wonder Zujun likes her sister-in-law so much, as soon as she enters the door, she handed over the right to be in charge of the family." ”
Zhao Yuanbai sighed slightly: "I don't know A-Ning's temper, she has never allowed sand in her eyes, but Wulang, you know my temperament, I can't listen to those gossips the most in my life." ”
"Third brother, don't deceive yourself, others don't know about you, I don't know, how have you ever cared about other people's eyes over the years", Zhao Wulang smiled: "You are in love, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be wronged." ”
"You stinky boy, don't pretend to know me very well", Zhao Yuanbai said this, but thinking in his heart that she had lost her temper just now and was cute and tight, she wanted to laugh very much.
I don't know if she has fallen asleep at the moment, Zhao Yuanbai is thinking about her in his heart, and he doesn't dare to rush over through a few courtyard gates, so he has to endure the thoughts of her and slowly fall asleep.
Seeing that drowsiness was about to strike, Zhao Wulang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Third brother, I have something I want to tell you, I hope you can fulfill it." ”
Zhao Yuanbai turned his head sideways, glanced at it in the dark night, and said softly: "They are all flesh and blood brothers, what is not easy to say, just say it directly, what can I do for you?" ”
There was silence in the air for a while, and Zhao Wulang said: "I want to marry Jiuniang of the Tao family to come to the house." ”
