Chapter 36: Angered by Gossip 2
"It's windy and snowy outside, why don't I go and get it for you, so that you can get better and the wind blows and you get sicker, if you really accidentally die, the people outside should say that I died." Kong Zhishu went to the ground much faster than Su Wanniang, and the thin man was always flexible like a monkey, and he put on his shoes in a few clicks.
"Thank you~" Su Wanniang gritted her teeth, look, who is not virtuous at this time? It didn't matter, anyway, she was too lazy to move and couldn't get out of the house.
Don't look at Kong Zhishu as a weak scholar, but this pace is fast, and it is also very neat, and after a while, he will be outside the kitchen.
Probably afraid of the wind and snow blowing into the kitchen, the kitchen door is closed, Kong Zhishu stretched out his hand and gently pushed, the door did not move, the next second, the voice of a woman talking in the kitchen, he only then reacted that the door was locked from the inside, it is estimated that you busy people are also afraid of the wind blowing cold, so the door is bolted casually.
Kong Zhishu is naturally not a villain who likes to eavesdrop, he raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door to let the people inside open the door and then go in to pour a bowl of water for Su Wanniang, but unexpectedly, his hand did not fall on the door panel, but the person inside did not know how to control the voice, and Su Wanniang's name fell into his ears.
"Second daughter-in-law, do you think this Su Wanniang really has money on hand?"
"Mother, it's not wrong, I heard her and the third child outside the house, she said that she still has some broken silver on hand to pay for medicine, this old lady of the Shen family is a person who deducts more, how can she let the money fall into the hands of Su Wanniang, so ah, the broken silver that Su Wanniang said must be the five taels of silver given by the daughter of the Wang family when she left the Shen family!"
Even if there is no need to open the door, this one is shrewd and a slightly old voice, people can guess that it is Kong Lao Niang Wu and the second daughter-in-law Xu when standing outside the door, and what surprised Kong Zhishu is that the two actually talked about Su Wanniang, or rather, about the broken silver in Su Wanniang's hand.
But when Su Wanniang left the Shen family, the entire Shen family and the neighbors in the village watched her throw the silver into the well, and the silver in the well went into it, why did it return to her? Is it possible to play tricks? It has spread in this village, for the sake of these five taels of silver, the Shen family drove her out without even giving Su Wanniang a thing, and Shen Lao Niang was still rolling on the ground with distressed money. Wu's words were still a little unconvinced, but because of the number of five taels of silver, he was moved again, and muttered, "If it's true, this five taels of silver is not a small amount, then the daughter of the Wang family is really generous enough, and a cousin can give so much silver!" ”
"Mother, you don't understand, the Wang family is a merchant in the county, there is money, five taels of silver to us, the poor man, it is a lot of money, for them, it is a girl's monthly silver!" Xu knows more than Wu, she has been to the county many times over the years, and has heard a lot of rich people in the county.
The Wu family snorted and was envious, "The Shen family is really smoky from their ancestors, and after marrying such a golden mountain, I don't know how much dowry this daughter of the Wang family brought when she married Shen Fanghou." ”
"Mother, how much dowry do you bring with your housekeepers? It's not ours anyway! Xu Shi was unhappy when she heard it, and Wu's mention of the dowry was like a thorn in her heart, after all, when she got married, the dowry was pitiful, and the harvest in the field was not good that year, and the shortage in the family was tight, which is this, she looked more and more unhappy with the big house Zhou, at least the dowry brought by the Zhou family was better than her, and there should be no less.
"Don't be unhappy, you said that your sister-in-law has a lot of family members, and when she got married, the dowry looked better, otherwise, she didn't even have a belt in these years of marriage, and she didn't send her home early."
