Chapter 034: Cutting Off One of His Fingers (1)
Chapter 034 Cutting off one of its fingers (1)
Wang Qifang took out two silver tickets from the treasure box left by her mother, and then put a dozen bills issued by Zhao's firm of equal face value into them, closed the lock, and looked up to see Mama Zhao's worried look.
Wang Qifang thought about it for a while, and then understood why Mama Zhao was worried, she smiled and said, "Mama, what's wrong, your face is so ugly?" Haven't you been working too hard lately, let Ziyuan ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you later? ”
"Qi Niang?" Mama Zhao glanced at Wang Qifang angrily, this child, knowing what she meant, but deliberately pretending to be confused, picked up the silver ticket on the table, and when Mama Zhao saw the denomination on it, the gloom on her face was even stronger, she was very uneasy and said: "You exchanged the silver at the bottom of the box for these bills, in case the policy of the Confucian Business Association changes again, more than 10,000 taels of silver will be all lost...... At that time, if there is any change in the Zhao family, what will you and Yuan Niang do? ”
What's more, after Wang Qifang returned to the Zhao family, she beat the companions, girls and mothers-in-law who were married by the Wang family, and finally beat one to death, almost cutting off the only connection between herself and her mother's family.
Without the support of his mother's family, and he wants to reconcile with his indifferent husband, if he doesn't have some savings in his hands, how will he live in the future?
"Hehe, Mama, don't worry, we have the silver," Wang Qifang smiled and took back the silver ticket from Mama Zhao's hand, the old lady estimated that she was so concerned that she forgot that she still had a plantation that was making money every day.
Of course, Mama Zhao was right, these were originally owed by the Zhao family, there was no reason for her Wang Qifang to pay, she put away her smile, and a coldness flashed in her eyes, "However, I can't come out of this silver, well, I have to think of a way, how can he willingly help me 'reimburse'?" ”
The more Wang Qifang spoke, the softer her voice became, and when she said the last few words, she was already inaudible.
Mama Zhao naturally didn't hear it, her eyes widened, and she asked, "He?" Willing? Who, is it possible that you still want to count on the second young master? ”
"It's okay," Wang Qifang came back to her senses, shook her head, and reassured her indifferently: "Mama, don't worry, when did I do something I'm not sure about?" Seeing that Mama Zhao was still a little worried, Wang Qifang simply stuffed the silver ticket into her purse, held Mama Zhao's fleshy wrist, and changed the topic: "By the way, when will the two elder brothers, Zhao Dalang and Zhao Erlang, arrive in Beijing?" ”
"They? En, let me do the math," as soon as she mentioned her two sons, Mama Zhao's attention was really temporarily diverted, she smiled and squinted her eyes, and busily broke her round fingers, looking like she was counting the days.
After a while, Mama Zhao finally had an approximate date, "As soon as we returned to Zhao's house, I sent them a letter...... Well, Da Lang's hometown in Jiangzhou, if he receives the letter and starts immediately, it will take two months to get to the capital; Erlang has been working as an errand in the Wang family, En, Qingyuan County is closer to the capital, but it will be a month's journey. ”
Thinking that she would soon be able to see her two sons who had been separated for several years, the folds on Mama Zhao's face smiled.
However, thinking about Wang Qifang's purpose of letting the two milk brothers come to the capital, Mama Zhao's originally smiling face gradually became a little uneasy, "Qi Niang, I know that you let their brothers and sons come to the capital because they feel sorry for me and want to reunite our mother and son." It's just that...... When Erlang was in the Wang family, he used to be a small housekeeper in the shop for a few days, and he could also help you take care of the business; But Da Lang has always been nested in his hometown, and he can't do anything but farm, and I'm afraid he won't be able to help you when he comes—"
As a mother, how could Mama Zhao not want her biological son? Back then, Da Lang traveled thousands of miles to the capital to pick her up and return to her hometown to care for the elderly, but Mama Zhao was not relieved to be raised by Wang Qifang, so she stayed ruthlessly.
didn't go with her son, it doesn't mean that Mama Zhao doesn't want her son, over the years, the private house and ladder she has saved, except for a part of the subsidy to Wang Qifang, most of them are divided into two parts, all of which are given to her two sons, and she is reluctant to keep a penny. Every New Year's holiday, Mama Zhao squeezes time to stay up late to make new clothes and shoes for her son and grandson......
To tell the truth, Mama Zhao dreams of reuniting with her son and grandson, but she can't give up Wang Qifang's mother and son, alas, on the one hand, there is a debt of flesh and blood, on the other hand, the daughter of a benefactor, and her own child, Mama Zhao is not at ease on either side, it is really a dilemma.
Especially, when she saw that Wang Qifang was getting more and more motivated, the desire to return to her hometown became stronger and stronger, and she often hid aside alone and sighed.
How could Wang Qifang not see this? In fact, Wang Qifang also knows that if she really wants Mama Zhao to return to her hometown to raise her, she may not be willing, they have been dependent on each other for more than 20 years, and their feelings for each other have surpassed ordinary masters and servants, if they are suddenly separated, no one will be reluctant.
In addition, Wang Qifang also needs helpers, especially loyal people. But his foundation is still shallow, except for Mama Zhao and three or four girls around him, there is not even a man who can show his face. If she looks for it slowly, Wang Qifang believes that she will definitely be able to find it, but she can't afford to wait, you must know that cultivating a loyal subordinate is not something that can be done in a year or two.
And Mama Zhao's two sons are different, they are Wang Qifang's brothers, in terms of the social relationship of Da Zhou, the Zhao brothers and Wang Qifang have the closest relationship, and they are the best candidates to be confidants.
In addition, affected by Wang Qifang, Mama Zhao's man and son are in the Wang family, and the situation has not been good. There was a time when Mrs. Wang's Zheng even used Mama Zhao's family to blackmail Mama Zhao into submission in order to get Wang Qifang's biological mother's dowry...... Later, Zhao Dalang couldn't stand this kind of life without a future, so he took advantage of his father's death to beg his master to redeem himself and return to his hometown to farm with the silver sent back by Mama Zhao; And Zhao Erlang was held in the Wang family by the Zheng family as a hostage, and he couldn't survive starvation.
Mama Zhao is her closest person, but her family is mistreated because of herself, Wang Qifang is very upset.
Therefore, after returning to Zhao's house, Wang Qifang asked Mama Zhao to write a letter to the two nurses and asked them to come to Beijing on an errand. Zhao Dalang has already got rid of his slave status, but it is good to say that only Zhao Erlang is there, and he still needs to use some special means to bring people back.
Of course, special means are used by special talents, and Wang Qifang is very clear about this. And what about this special talent, naturally it is none other than Li Jingtian - who let him die and almost killed his innocent 'cousin'?
Li Jingtian was also very helpless about this, he knew that Wang Qifang was so vindictive, and he would not provoke this aunt and grandmother when he killed him that day.
It's a pity that there are all kinds of things sold in the world, but there are no regret drops for sale, after receiving Wang Qifang's letter, Li Jingtian rubbed his nose tangledly, and immediately sent the chivalrous guests in the alliance to run to Qingyuan overnight, and before Wang Qifang started to dispose of the Wang family's accompanying room, Zhao Erlang's family was safely taken out of the Wang family.
Counting the days, Zhao Erlang will be able to arrive in the capital in a few days.
Wang Qifang stretched out her hand to block Mama Zhao's mouth, "Mama, why did you forget, my mother still left me two granges, these two villages, one grows all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the other grows wheat and sorghum...... Although you don't expect to make money, you can't lose money. But look, are there people around us who know how to farm? Brother Da Lang is different, he has been working on crops for so many years, and he must be a good hand at farming, with his help, we can also save some food in the future. ”
This is not a lie, Wang Qifang has long thought about how to deal with the two Zhuangzi found in the box, that is, to take back all the land and hire people to grow crops herself. In this way, it not only leaves a way back for itself, but also provides cover for the things produced in the space.
Of course, it would be better if Zhao Dalang could be properly placed.
"Besides, the two milk brothers have been affected by me, and they have suffered a lot over the years, no matter how bad my Wang Qifang is, I can't let the people around me suffer. I can forgive Amethyst and entrust me with a heavy responsibility, there is no reason to let my two brothers suffer and suffer on the side."
Wang Qifang took out a handkerchief to help Mama Zhao wipe her tears, and promised softly: "So, Mama Zhao, you can rest assured, as long as the two milk brothers are sincere to me, I will not treat them badly." Glory and wealth are not guaranteed, but there is no problem with abundant food and clothing."
"Eun, be good, be good" is enough to have enough food and clothing.
Mama Zhao's face was full of emotion, and she had long forgotten to persuade Wang Qifang.
At noon, after lunch, Wang Qifang took a nap with the two children. In a daze, it was as if I heard the sound of crying outside.
“…… Woo, Mama Zhao, you have to call the shots for the girl, there is no such bullying as her...... This is still the second young grandmother back, before, before......"
The sound of whimpering, the slightest wisp of the ear. Wang Qifang woke up with a frown, looked down at the two children, and saw that they were also twisting their tender eyebrows, and their red little mouths were muttering, as if they were about to wake up.
Wang Qifang was afraid that the child would be woken up by the sound outside, so she quietly got up and got off the kang, stretched out her hand to beckon the two nurses who were resting on the low couch on the side, and softly told them to take good care of the child, while she tiptoed out of the bedroom.
"Mama Zhao, who is it, so ignorant of the rules, running to cry at noon?"
went out and came to the porch outside, Wang Qifang reprimanded unhappily.
"Back to the second young grandmother, the slave maid is the one who serves the eldest lady, but the eldest lady was bullied, and the slave and maid have no choice but to come to the second young grandmother"
As soon as the little girl saw Wang Qifang coming out, she didn't care about Mama Zhao who was blocking her, she knelt on the ground with a pop, crawled a few steps on her knees, crawled at Wang Qifang's feet, and cried again.
"Wait, who did you say bullied Yuan Niang?"
Wang Qifang didn't like the frizzy appearance of the little girl, and asked in a calm voice.
"Yes, it's Aunt Su. Oh, no, it's the girl Yuzhu next to Aunt Su who directly bullied the eldest lady."
The little girl didn't know if she was really stupid or pretending, but she didn't see Wang Qifang's displeasure, but she confidently sued.
"Yuzhu?" Wang Qifang sounded familiar, as if she had heard of this name somewhere, wait a minute, by the way, when she was in Qingzhou before, she had a dream, and this name seemed to appear in the dream, and if she remembered correctly, there seemed to be a girl at that time who said that Yuzhu bullied Yuan Niang, is that dream true
