Chapter 77: Being Taken Seriously
Zhao Xiuqin said as she spoke, her eyes turned in Fang Gang's direction, and she saw that she was smiling so much because of what Mrs. Zhang said that she couldn't see her teeth, isn't this a stupid son.
"Now that it's done, what kind of way is it, have you told the Lin family when you will marry Ah Xiu and go home?"
Speaking of the matter of hiring, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but recall that when she was in the Song family, she and Fang Tian tried hard to persuade her, but she couldn't persuade the Lin family, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The matter is said to be done, but in fact, many things have not been discussed yet, so the Lin family put down and said, if your family wants to marry A Xiu and enter the door, you will have to wait until next year." ”
Fang Gang's face changed at that time, you must know that this matter is changing rapidly, although it is decided, but it has not been hired, which means that this marriage contract is not justified, this can never be done, what if the Lin clan changes his mind halfway? I heard that this Lin clan is very bad, and it is not impossible to do such a thing.
"She's having a hard time, too."
Mrs. Zhang was very sorry to tell the Fang family the reason for the matter, and when she saw the Lin family today, she felt that this woman was a little pitiful: "It is said that her illness is terminally ill and cannot be saved, the doctor said that her illness can last until next year at most, and now she is still alive, completely relying on the decoction to hang herself, she is pitiful, she plans to wait for her death next year, and then let A Xiu marry." ”
Zhao Xiuqin and Fang Gang looked at each other, and said after a while: "Doesn't this parent have to be mourned for three years when they die?" ”
"Miss Axiu is different from others, others have to keep filial piety for three years when their biological parents die, she is an adoptive mother, and she is so bad to her, she can choose not to keep it, no one will blame her."
Having said that, I'm afraid Ah Xiu is not happy.
Fang Gang knew Ah Xiu the most among this group of people: "She definitely doesn't know about this matter, if she knew, she wouldn't think she would be willing." ”
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said: "Why didn't the two of us persuade her like this when we were in the Song family, but you should have heard of the Lin family's temper, it is very bad, and the temper is the most stubborn, and the two of us can't persuade her at all." ”
Fang Gang also imagined this matter, he pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "I think this matter is only decided by Miss Axiu's adoptive mother, it is too unfair to Miss Axiu, she is so good to her adoptive mother, so dedicated, she must not be willing to let her die in front of herself, if she is really seriously ill, I think Miss Axiu will save money to find a famous doctor to save her life even if she does not marry." ”
Ah Xiu really regards Lin and Song Zhouming as her only two relatives in this world, she is so kind and gentle, even if she suffers, she will not be willing to make her family unhappy.
"She definitely didn't tell Miss Ah Xiu about this matter, I'll go and tell Miss Ah Xiu about this matter tomorrow and let her decide for herself."
Now it seems that there is only such a way, Zhao Xiuqin and Mrs. Zhang sighed and looked at each other speechlessly.
Even if things are far from going as smoothly as Zhao Xiuqin imagined, but it is also a good result, from the mouth of Mrs. Zhang, she can vaguely see that Lin's character is not such a heinous person in the legend, and now the reason why she delays her marriage contract is also to let Ah Xiu live a good life, and it seems that her heart is still kind-hearted.
Now that both sides have agreed, many things will go much smoother in the future.
Zhao Xiuqin took Mrs. Zhang's hand and said to her with a smile: "No matter what, this matter is thanks to you, sister, if it weren't for your clever words, our stupid son's marriage doesn't know what to do now, thank you so much, why don't you stay and eat a bowl of rice today, it just so happened that my son caught a big fish when he went fishing in the river today, and it is still very fresh in the water, which is not necessarily a taste that can be tasted outside!" ”
Zhao Xiuqin's craftsmanship, Mrs. Zhang knows very well, when they were children, they lived next to each other and were each other's best friends, Zhao Xiuqin liked to play with things in the kitchen when she was a child, and she liked to go out to socialize.
So many years have passed, and there are more than 100 dishes that have been rubbed and tasted, and I have never seen anyone with better craftsmanship than her.
Mrs. Zhang swallowed her saliva, thinking about the gains and losses in her heart, and was about to promise her best friend when she was young, when she suddenly rolled her eyes, saw the dark sky outside, and gritted her teeth and refused.
"I want to stay, but I can't."
When Zhao Xiuqin heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were very pungent and arrogant: "Why can't you keep it, isn't it just that you helped our family and our family invited you to have a light meal, it's already a blessing if you don't dislike it, how can you still keep it, are you afraid that the gossip of those long-tongued women outside will not be successful?" ”
The more Zhao Xiuqin thought about it, the more angry she became, although she herself also likes gossip and the like, but secretly talking about other people's shortcomings or mistakes behind others' backs is Zhao Xiuqin's most despicable behavior, and she especially looks down on those women.
And Mrs. Zhang is just the opposite, she relies on these to eat: "Good sister, I know your good intentions, but I really can't keep it, it's not that I'm afraid of those women gossiping about us behind our backs, I care about other things." ”
Zhao Xiuqin was confused when she heard this, she was a real person, as real as her biological son Fang Gang, to put it bluntly, it was a tendon, she couldn't understand what Mrs. Zhang meant: "Since you are not worried about being gossiped behind your back, then what are you worried about, eating at my house is not a dangerous thing, let alone the Hongmen banquet in the book on the tree, why don't you stay." ”
Fang Gang was on the side, listening to his mother's words, a simple smile hung on his dark and square leather face, and he also followed Zhao Xiuqin's persuasion: "Aunt Zhang, just stay, my mother really wants to entertain you, the big live fish in our house was actually not caught by me when I was fishing today, but my mother personally went to the river to buy it with others, and she has long been looking forward to you and my sister coming back." ”
After all, it has been a sisterhood for many years, and the two of them were once as close as if they were sisters, even if Zhao Xiuqin knocked on the door again, she still had a handle on this matter.
Zhao Xiuqin couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when her son exposed her old secrets, and scolded him softly, and then smiled and said: "My child is not sensible, don't be surprised." ”
Zhao Xiuqin's attitude towards herself is so enthusiastic and enthusiastic, the person concerned, Mrs. Zhang, can naturally feel it, she also smiled and held Zhao Xiuqin's hand, and said with a smile: "What's so strange about me, this kid looks likable, he will definitely be able to live a good life in the future, sister, you will really enjoy it in the future." ”
Mrs. Zhang paused, frowned slightly and said to Zhao Xiuqin: "Sister, in fact, I insist on leaving, not because I am afraid that people outside will say two or three words of gossip, after all, I am so old, and I am no longer as soft as those little girls before, and my heart is soft, the reason why I want to go back early is just because when I went out today, I promised my child to go back early, and he said that he had something to tell me today." ”
Zhao Xiuqin naturally knows the own child in Mrs. Zhang's mouth, and she has even seen it, it is Mrs. Zhang's only son, who is about the same age as Fang Tian, but when the two of them were pregnant at about the same time, they used to feel very fateful, and originally thought about setting a doll for the two children, but later because of the complexity of things, it was not over at this time.
In fact, the main reason is that Mrs. Zhang, her husband is a member of the population of the town, and there are two shops on the most prosperous street.
Therefore, the matter of the marriage between the two families was delayed, and then when Fang Tian opened up a little more, he made a marriage with Zhao Wenxuan from the same village.
originally thought that the matter between the two families would be over, but what I never expected was that I saw Fang Tian in person today, which was very amazing, and I felt that it was a pity that such a girl missed it.
At this moment, several people were standing in the living room, two women were talking, and Father Fang and Fang Gang were listening quietly next to them, never interjecting.
Even if they had such an attitude, what they were going to say later still made Mrs. Zhang a little embarrassed, she took Zhao Xiuqin's hand, and pulled her to the back room despite the surprised eyes of Fang Gang and Father Fang, and then said awkwardly: "I am in the Song family today, I envy you very much, I have raised such a capable, responsible and thoughtful girl, and this girl is also very family-oriented and filial, it is really enviable." ”
Zhao Xiuqin's temper was naturally incomprehensible, she listened, and looked at Mrs. Zhang with a smile, as if the person who praised Mrs. Zhang just now was not Fang Tian, but herself.
Mrs. Zhang naturally understood her character, and said with a smile: "You don't know, today I went to the Song family with your daughter to persuade the Lin family, what kind of performance did she have, I think if you know, you will like her more." ”
Mrs. Zhang said, and told Zhao Xiuqin carefully what she had seen with her own eyes.
Dare to ask which mother in the world would not want her daughter to be praised, and it is the one who praises it fiercely, a strong sense of co-prosperity affects her nerves, and the more she listens to Mrs. Zhang's praise of Fang Tian, the happier she is.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and looked at Mrs. Zhang with wide eyes, looking in disbelief: "What do you mean by praising her so much?" ”
Mrs. Zhang squinted at Zhao Xiuqin and smiled, her expression was very funny.
"I have said it so clearly, don't you really know what I mean, I think ah, your daughter is very good, the most excellent thing is her ability to grasp things and control the ability, this is a very thoughtful girl, such a smart and sensible girl has very little time, I just praise her."
Zhao Xiuqin subconsciously felt that Mrs. Zhang's praise of her daughter was definitely not just because she was addicted, or because she thought that Fang Tian was really good, and she knew what Ms. Zhang was talking about now.
"Our daughter is not at all different from other people's daughters!"
Mrs. Zhang can see this, Fang Tian is really a very different girl, few people have such good ideas as her, just like the saying goes, women are made of water, three from the four virtues are serious, and men are allowed to do everything with ideas.
It was this kind of education that the girls received when they were young, so that Mrs. Zhang felt that Fang Tian was very special.
Without waiting for her to speak up and Zhao Xiuqin, she took care of herself and said with pride: "My daughter, you may not believe it when you say it, and others will not believe it when it is spread, I shouldn't have told you these things, but because you are a close person, I think it doesn't matter if you tell you about it." ”
