Chapter Twenty-Seven: Planning to Go Out
Son, when you wake up, are you still uncomfortable?
You see him recalling his illness, and somebody pats him in a daze, and then it's very vague.
Where are you taking me?
Go home. Lang Zhong said that you need to rest. It's all bad mothers, thinking about business all day long, ignoring you.
It's me who is sick, and I don't blame you.
What disease?
If it's cold, I'll get sick, and it's fine. He looked at the medicine and said, "I don't take it."
Let's eat, you see you're not in the energy.
Don't eat.
Then, then don't eat it. Lie down, you'll be home in no time.
When we arrived at the door, Lu Shang also came back, looked at Qiu Yu's illness, frowned and asked me what was going on.
I finished speaking and said: I decided not to let Xiaoyu go to the inn, he should also study, and he will take the test for fame in the future.
It's okay to learn business with me.
You also need knowledge to do business.
Then do business and learn at the same time.
Tired of him, you just fell asleep without seeing him lying down.
You feel sorry for your son, and I feel sorry for me. Xiaoguan, you say, why do I think it's different from before.
You're glad you have a son.
Yes!
Hum.
Xiaoguan, I didn't mean that, with you, I don't care about children.
Your mother cares. Qiu Yu is not our own, otherwise she can say that she will fight.
It's been a month, why are you still holding grudges.
It's your mother's excess, you admit it, right?
Admit. However, you can't blame our mother so much, she is almost sixty after all, you have to respect her, and filial piety comes first.
You know, I hate it when people preach to me. Lu Shang also knows me, and he knowingly commits a crime. He is always towards his mother, towards his family, and of course he will protect me, but this is far from enough, I will never be as important as their Lu family.
One way to avoid a fight is to change the subject.
Agreed?
My father-in-law confessed, do I dare not negotiate? My father-in-law was very satisfied, and he wanted to drink with me, and I said I had to go back to see you, but he didn't keep me, and he didn't say let me go.
You better don't go, drink too much and talk nonsense.
I didn't!
You take care of Xiaoyu at home, and I'll go to the inn.
It's snowing, so don't forget to bring an umbrella.
You don't send me?
I'm going to see the whispers.
Look at him, deliberately angry with me.
But I'm not jealous of Qiu Yu, how can there be a mother who is jealous of her son?
Uncle can't go out, the other old people quietly go out to see the snow, let us keep it secret, I sent my buddies to escort them.
Why, is it almost the New Year, you want to do New Year's goods, you know.
The old people walked together, they wanted to go up Songren Ridge, and they saw the snow on the ridge, which was much more beautiful than this, and the first time Lu Shang confessed to me was in Songren Ridge. That was when I knew that I couldn't be a mother, and I was very depressed, he carried me up, told me, he didn't care, and promised me, I cried at that time, but because it was too cold, my tears and snot were frozen. The image is not good, it is a true expression, but, that time, I didn't agree, and I rejected him after crying. Because we have been good since we were young, he carried me, I thought he was my sister, and as soon as he confessed, I had to keep my distance from him, although I actually liked him too, so, I chose to go down, almost fell, or insisted on walking by myself.
What you see now is Songren Ridge, the old people have gone up safely, the uncle who can draw is sitting on a stone with a drawing board on his lap, drawing the snow-capped pine trees on the paper, and some people ask him to draw himself and his wife.
Dude, could you please help me draw one.
Only the voice is heard, but the person is not seen, it is difficult to distinguish between men and women, and the shouting is not loud, only the painting uncle can hear it.
Uncle heard the voice coming from behind him, he looked back, he didn't see it, then he stood up, still he couldn't see it, he walked forward, he didn't see the stones on the ground, the whole person was lying on the ground, and it was downhill, a couple quickly pulled him, but he didn't hold it, and he was also taken and fell down.
Then you see the bright color and leave satisfied.
And she just shouted twice.
She didn't do anything, but with these two sounds, she almost killed three old men.
Hospitality.
You give me a comment, the old man fell and was injured, I am not responsible.
The old man who fell from the building, maybe I have nothing to do with it.
I won't care if I live here, but you heard how badly the old man's family scolded me just now, as if I had harmed me.
And listen carefully, it's because the two strong men I sent didn't take care of it.
At the end of the day, it's my fault.
And the old man who stayed in the inn, because the guy added carbon, said that he went away, made a child's temper, had to go, his wife was hunchbacked, slow, couldn't stop him, the guy wanted to chase, in a hurry, the firewood next to the stove was not cleaned up, and when he was chased back, it was terrible, but it was also saved in time, and half of the house was burned, but fortunately, I used fire prevention measures when I built it, so it did not spread.
Anyway, no matter what, it is a sure thing that Wenxin Inn eats people.
For a while, all the guests checked out and asked for a refund, my brain hurt, I didn't want to understand at all, so I let the bookkeeper deal with it.
Even if the guest checks out, the person who eats must also be refunded, saying that my food is poisonous, and he will buy medicine with silver.
The old people do not distinguish between right and wrong, and when they come, they are polite, and as soon as this is said, I become a heinous person, and I wish I knelt in the snow to apologize.
It was midnight after dealing with it, Lu Shang and I took the carriage home, I almost shrunk in his arms, trying to absorb some warmth, but I was getting colder and colder. When I got home, the bath water prepared by Liang Xin didn't soothe me, I felt like an icicle hanging down from the eaves, breaking when I touched it, and melting it when I was exposed to the sun, but whoever walked over had to be careful, for fear of smashing.
I cried.
I never thought it would be like this.
I thought that although I couldn't manage and didn't know how to do business, I had cooking skills, so that guests could eat well and live well, so I wouldn't be afraid that the inn would not be prosperous.
But why, so many things are happening, because I lived in prison?
I have never been able to admit it, nor can I accept it, but as you can see, my inn, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, still does not see a single guest, and the guy is only Li Cheng, from this, it can be judged that the inn is completely down, and it can't be helped.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, our family makes dumplings together, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is also made together, and the servants are all put home on the twenty-sixth. The sixth day of junior high school came back.
Lu Cheng's family is also here for the New Year, his granddaughter Lu Rong is cute and cute, and she smiles at me when I hug her.
Lu Rong successfully softened my heart, and the melancholy of many days was dispelled after hugging her.
As a result, I am even more determined about what I am going to do next.
No way!
I'm sorry, I didn't know my mother-in-law would react so much and scare you.
Not only you, but Lu Rong was also scared and cried.
But what you hear me say, isn't it too much? Then, my inn has fallen, so I can't let it go. If you don't have experience, you won't be able to drive it for a long time, right? So, I wanted to relax while playing and learning how other inns worked.
The third child will do business, you learn from him, what else do you go out to do, a woman's family, just open an inn, what are you still tossing, do you want to have a good time, do you want to do it?
No......
Lu Shang covered my mouth and smiled: Mother, Xiaoguan also wants to relax, it won't take long for us to come back, you can agree. Then you heard him whisper, if you don't agree, Xiaoguan will sneak away, and others will have to see the Lu family's jokes.
How do you know that my mother-in-law actually said loudly: Shame on them and shame on the Wen family.
I was thinking about why she said this, so she asked me: Have you discussed it with your mother's family, don't you get lost when the time comes, my mother's family will come to me and ask for someone. When people get married, one becomes two, several, and you can't change one.
It's not my fault! I stood up, shook off Lu Shang's hand holding me, and said loudly: I never think that it is a mistake for me not to be able to give birth, you are my mother-in-law and my mother, you don't accuse the robbers who hurt me, don't protect me, and you can't say the same about me, I've been married for eleven years, except that I didn't have children, what kind of thing I didn't do well, can you tell me?
My mother-in-law couldn't say it, but she still wanted to open her mouth.
But, you know, there's no way I'm going to get her to say it.
You can't say that I'm not, in fact, you like me a lot, but people ask you why the third son has no children, why don't you take a concubine, you blame me, in fact, you know in your heart, I'm not wrong, you can't offend people outside, come back and scold me for my ability.
I wiped my tears with my handkerchief as I spoke, but the more fierce I became, I couldn't control my whimper.
Do you think a whimper will delay me from speaking?
No.
That's right, I'm whimsical, restless, and unscrupulous, I'm not a competent daughter-in-law, but I just can't learn to be smart and virtuous, and I live in a house, that's not me.
That's it.
My mother-in-law asked me this, but she didn't seem to want me to shut up.
And there's more. I continued. You said you would treat me as your own daughter, and that was your promise to my parents. However, who would dislike that their own daughter could not have children. You don't love me, I'm very disappointed, you broke my heart, I called you your mother for eleven years.
It's all in your heart.
No vomiting, no pleasure.
Eat dumplings.
Can't eat.
Let you go.
I don't believe it.
Then don't go.
I bow my head and eat the dumplings, and you see me snickering.
My mother-in-law: Third child, wipe her nose.
I:......
After watching the fireworks, my mother-in-law asked me: What day will you leave?
The sixth day of the first month. The servant is not at home, and I have to help you.
Hmph, it's still your filial piety.
You don't look down on me so much, but what can you do, your son loves me.
My mother-in-law glared at me.
She sighed: This year's Chinese New Year is really boring!
I did not shy away from saying: Yes, the joy brought by Xiaomo no longer exists, only to find the real culprit, let him have a spirit in the sky, and know that we are all thinking about him.
Are you out for this?
No. This is Lu Cheng's business.
My mother-in-law sighed and walked out.
I have prepared everything, and my mother-in-law's family has explained it clearly, but on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, my father received a special business, but he was too busy to leave, so he could only appoint Lu Shang, the journey was far away, I didn't really want him to go, and Wen Yu, the younger brother born to the second aunt, was also eighteen years old, why didn't he go? Lu Shang said that this deal is very important, and his younger brother will mess up if he doesn't understand.
Go ahead, I think, and should be back soon, a month at the latest.
Unexpectedly, guess what?
