Chapter XIII: Resignation

"And in a good year, you can find your own happiness again, choose the person you like again, and my mother will also announce it to the people of Quanxile Town, telling them that in the past five years, you and Yujin have only been in a formal marriage, and you have never had a round house, and you are still the daughter of the boudoir, so your husband's family in the future will naturally not be difficult with you."

Xiang Wanqing's heart was shocked, she didn't expect the old lady to say these words at all, it turned out that she was planning to do so in her heart, but she had been secretly resenting her and blaming her before, now that she thinks about it, the old lady is really well-intentioned.

"But my father owes the Huo family a debt ......" But Xiang Wanqing still had many questions, and she didn't seem to believe the old lady's words.

"After five years, all debts will be written off." The old lady's eyes were very firm: "I should use these five years to buy your companionship and waiting for Yujin...... It's enough, too. ”

Xiang Wanqing's eyes widened, she almost suspected that something was wrong with her ears, and at this moment, the vibration in her heart had turned into emotion, she couldn't help but have a sour nose, and tears fell out.

saw the old lady smile slyly, gave Xiang Wanqing a disgusted look, and continued:

"However, don't be 'happy' too early, I'm talking about the ending of Yujin's illness that can't be cured, but what if he gets better? Or did you cure him? Then I think, with the appearance and excellence of our jade brocade, I am afraid that you will change your mind then, not only do you not want to leave, but you also want to stay by his side very much. ”

Xiang Wanqing's brows furrowed: "I'll cure him?" Mom, I'm ...... I don't know anything about medicine, I don't know anything about seeking medical treatment. ”

"Haha, kid, Mom knew you would say that." The old lady patted her on the back lovingly, and then said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to medicine, we can learn." ”

"Or, we can continue to look for a good doctor, the ancients said: There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. Mom believes that as long as we work together and persevere, we can one day cure Yujin's disease. It's just that Mom needs you to make a statement now, are you willing to stay in the Huo family and use these five years to recuperate and treat Yujin? The old lady asked.

"I ......" Xiang Wanqing had mixed feelings in her heart for a while, and she didn't know how to answer, or rather, until now, she still felt like she was in a dream, because today's old lady shocked her too much!

If she suffered accidents, fright, and fear in the first two days, then today the situation is simply reversed, and she is ecstatic and flattered!

Regardless of whether Huo Yujin's illness can be cured or not, just because the old lady arranged such a kind arrangement for herself, she should be grateful to her.

After all, it was her father who owed the Huo family money first, and the Huo family asked her to marry later, think about it, if it wasn't for her father's carelessness and loss of money in business, how could she be in debt? And if it weren't for her father's debts, how could there be a move by the Huo family to repay her kindness and ask her to marry to pay off her debts?

Therefore, from the root of this marriage, the fault is not in the Huo family, but in the father.

Or, the father was also forced to be helpless, and the real fault was fate, in this cannibalistic society, so that the poor suffered bad luck and could not turn over.

"But ......" Xiang Wanqing wanted to agree, but the thought in her heart suddenly changed again, since the old lady was so confident in Huo Yujin's illness, and her words were so certain, what if ...... What if Huo Yujin's illness is really cured? Do you really have to be his real wife?

Although, she also very much hopes that he can recover from his illness, no longer suffer from illness, and be a truly healthy and happy self, but ...... Marriage is such a thing, she treats him, and he treats her, between the two of them...... Do you really want to be a husband and wife?

The old lady always seemed to be able to see Xiang Wanqing's thoughts, only to see her smile again, and said to her: "Of course, if Yujin's illness can be cured by then, and you still don't want to be with him, then I won't force it, and I will still let you go, so you don't have to have any worries and worries." ”

Xiang Wanqing's tears poured down, why? Why is that? Why can the old lady be so nice to her? She really doubted that she was dreaming!

"Well, you don't have to be so moved, my old woman, though she is indeed a good man," said the old lady with a wise smile:

"But I am also selfish, and my selfishness is my trust and expectation for you: first, I believe that with your wisdom and kindness, you can cure Yujin; Second, I also hope that in this process, you and Yujin can have feelings, cherish each other, rely on each other, and never give up. In this way, after a hundred years, I can trust this home to you.

"But, boy, no matter what, no matter what the outcome is, no matter what happens in five years, you don't have any pressure, you know? Take it easy, take your time, Mom doesn't force you, everything goes naturally, okay? By the way, I'm worried that some people will interfere with it, so I won't disclose this matter to the public for the time being, so let it be a secret between our mother and son, can you help my mother keep it secret? ”

saw that Xiang Wanqing had already cried into tears, and her heart had already felt broken and messy, and her hand held by the old lady was trembling slightly.

The old lady raised her hand, used her handkerchief to help Xiang Wanqing wipe away the wanton tears and snot on her face, nodded desperately to Wanqing, and then suddenly hugged her, whimpering and shouting, "Mom......"

This mom is no longer awkward, embarrassed, wronged, unwilling, but completely from the heart and willing.

"Cry, cry, cry out all the grievances, nervousness and sadness in your heart these days, don't hold it in your heart, it's not good for your health......" The old lady patted Xiang Wanqing's back lightly and said lovingly.

Let's say that because Xiang Wanqing failed to find fault twice, Ning Jinxiu has been depressed for the past few days, and she only feels that she has never been so embarrassed since she was a child.

Especially after marrying into the Huo family, she became the deputy housekeeper of the Huo family at a young age, and she was also very favored by the old lady.

Therefore, she can't accept the current frustration more and more.

On this day, Ning Jinxiu went to the account room to check the accounts as usual, and met Uncle Li who was also there to flip through the account books.

"Hey, Uncle Li, why are you so free today? Isn't the factory busy enough? I'll take care of the family's accounts. Ning Jinxiu said and reached out to get the account book in Uncle Li's hand.

If you want to put aside the usual, Ning Jinxiu doesn't take Uncle Li in her eyes at all, although he is the chief housekeeper of the Huo family and the steward of many factories and silk villages of the Huo family, and he is also a celebrity in front of the old lady.

But in the past few days, since Xiang Wanqing entered the door, Ning Jinxiu deeply felt that her favor and status were threatened, so she had to "deign" herself to curry favor with these people she usually looked down on.

Ning Jinxiu thought that she had lowered her body enough, and the other party would definitely be flattered, but she didn't expect that this time it was a hot face and a cold ass.

I saw Uncle Li stand up, and he didn't mean to hand over the account book to Ning Jinxiu at all, but instead hung Ning Jinxiu's hands in the air, and his attitude was respectful and alienated:

"Grandma, no matter how busy you are, it's not as important as your body, the old lady said, the weather has been hot and dry recently, and the body of the young grandmother has always been delicate, and the old lady doesn't want to let the young grandmother be too tired, so these accounts are still handed over to the old slave to take care of."

"You ......" Ning Jinxiu's eggplant was like frost in an instant, wilted, her hand was awkwardly retracted, and her heart was half cold: "I...... I'm fine, I'm ......."

Ning Jinxiu wanted to defend herself, but when she thought that she usually often used various physical discomforts as an excuse to obstruct and unwilling to take care of the various internal affairs of the deputy housekeeper's position, she suddenly felt speechless.

"Please also ask the young grandmother to take care of her body and don't be in a hurry." Uncle Li spoke again.

"I ......" Ning Jinxiu thought about it again, didn't she lose her temper and throw her face every day in the past few days, and she was in a hurry to get angry?

Her face was pale, she wanted to say something but seemed to have nothing to say, Uncle Li's words poked at her weakness, making her want to have a seizure without any reason, she was like a dumb person who ate Coptis chinensis, and she could only swallow it raw.

Her face was almost crooked, and she finally shook the handkerchief, hating "Hmph!" With a sigh, he left angrily.

Back in his other courtyard, Ning Jinxiu didn't like anything, so she dropped a few flower pots casually, the porcelain pieces were shattered, and the soil was scattered all over the ground.

Cui Hong was too frightened to squeak, so she had to stand aside with her head down.

When she came to the house, Ning Jinxiu continued to fall, first smashing a few glass vases, and then sweeping the rouge pollen, bottles and cans on the dresser to the ground.

"Grandma Da Shao is angry, the weather is hot, please don't be in a hurry to get angry, your body is important." Cui Hong knelt on the ground to comfort.

But it's better if she doesn't persuade her, her persuasion reminds Ning Jinxiu of Uncle Li's words, what "the weather is hot and dry, and the body is important"? What "don't rush to get angry"? Isn't this the excuse that the old lady deliberately made to relieve her of her power?

And it was enough for them to say so, and now even the maid in their own room said so.

"Good! You dog minion, your tone is exactly the same as theirs, you're in the same league as them, aren't you? ”

Ning Jinxiu casually picked up a silver hairpin and threw it towards Cuihong.

"Ahh The emerald red head was poked by the hairpin, screamed, held his head in both hands, and fell to the ground.

"Why don't you speak? Well? Go on! Even you laugh at me, don't you? Are you sent by them to deliberately play tricks on me? You said! Ning Jinxiu plucked another hairpin from her head and poked it at Cuihong's head, and her face was lifeless.
