Chapter 12: Death is not a pity
Following.
Zhou Cunhou rested for a day and remembered the matter of Taoqi, and hurriedly got up and walked towards Zhou Li's yard, ready to ask for an explanation, and asked for peace, who knew that as soon as the person arrived outside the house, he heard the sound of conversation inside, and it was an old woman who was saying to his mother.
"Madam, the eldest young master is back now, the dead Taoqi... The slave is afraid that you and the young will have a dislike because of this servant, and if you really think about it, I am afraid that it will not be good for the family. ”
The mother-in-law's eyes were full of worry when she spoke, and then she seemed to think of something and quickly lowered her head.
Zhou Li Shiquan felt uneasy when she thought she had chewed the root of her master's tongue, and therefore missed the light in her eyes.
He just waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, I know the son I gave birth to."
"What if it's dead? I don't want to think about how beautiful Taoqi is, but a beautiful woman is like a carp crossing the river, not to mention that she was born lowly, although she is interested in it, but the Si people have passed away, what is the strength between him and his mother?"
It's just a maidservant, and it's not like there's no good-looking one in the family.
Tao Qi is nothing more than that, if it weren't for the fact that his son likes to be incomparable with Miss Na Su.
Thinking of this, she twisted the soft cotton cake on the plate and thought a little.
"It's a big deal to take another room, and if you look for a likeness, it's comforting."
When the words fell, the door was vigorously pushed open, and Zhou Cunhou broke into the room with a pale face, thinking that his mother was talking and laughing, and the matter between him and Taoqi was not a taste in his heart.
Knowing the son is like the mother, and the son also knows the mother.
Listening to her tone, she was still suspicious, but now she has already decided.
But he still pretended not to know, and asked in a deep voice: "Mother! What do you mean by that?"
Looking at the eldest son who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhou Li was taken aback, and looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, but he didn't expect Zhou Cunhou, who had always been steady, to speak to her in this tone.
He sighed softly and explained slowly.
"This matter is said to be a mother's negligence, and I couldn't stop it that day, which caused Taoqi's soul to be cut off, but over the years, I have worked hard for you two brothers every day, even if I faked my death, I nodded and agreed to follow you."
"Do you really want to hurt our mother and son for the sake of a dead maid?"
The emotional card was played.
The mother-in-law had already walked out before Zhou Li could speak, and she didn't dare to listen more.
There were only two mothers and sons in the house.
Taoqi's death had a great impact on Zhou Cunhou, but he has always been filial, and when he saw his mother in front of him, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.
"Mother, my son knows all these things, but you shouldn't hide them from me."
The matter was held high and gently put down.
Since the eldest son has retreated, the mother is satisfied, so naturally she will not hold on to her face, do not bow her head and compete, and reach out to caress her son's increasingly thin face since he left the house.
"Mother knows it's wrong, you don't know the new eldest daughter-in-law Su Shi, how difficult that Su Ningyu is to deal with, not only got back the dowry, but also made the always shrewd Zhao family suffer several big losses, I guess you also heard the rumors outside now."
Zhou Cunhou nodded when he heard this, but he didn't agree with this.
In his opinion, she was stupid and dull.
But I don't blame her, after all, the plan of fake death is shrewd, if it weren't for the accident, he might be able to hide it for the rest of his life, Su Ningyu is infatuated with herself, and it is easy to handle it.
Zhou Li didn't say much about his self-confidence, only said.
"The Su family must have prejudices, and now that you are in the downtown area, you have to settle this matter in person."
Zhou Cunhou heard that he wanted to agree, but at this moment there was a sound of footsteps.
The person they were talking about just now was walking slowly, and greeted Zhou Li in a proper manner: "Say hello to my mother-in-law." ”
Then Su Ningyu looked up at him with a smile, and without waiting for the two of them to react, she clarified the purpose of coming today.
"Xianggong is also here, since this is the case, the daughter-in-law said bluntly, at first I thought that Houlang had encountered an accident so he did not return to Ning, since he has come back, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it is better to leave early to ask his parents to help the second brother."
The sun is coming out in the west?
Zhou Li never expected that the things that she had been asking for some time ago that could not be reached would be actively proposed by her today, and she was about to ask, but someone had already spoken first.
"You mean to ask your father-in-law to help Huaide?"
The letter clearly said that Su Ningyu was unwilling to help after several excuses.
Why change your tune now.
Hearing this, Su Ningyu turned her head and looked at Zhou Cunhou with a smile, and only said.
"A family, naturally if you can help, you will help."
He had doubts in his heart and wanted to ask, but Zhou Li raised his hand to interrupt the eldest son's mouth.
She stood up with a smile and walked up to Su Ningyu, the wrinkles on her face became more and more profound, and she was a little more satisfied with this useful daughter-in-law in her heart.
"Good, good! You have a heart, Hou'er still doesn't go to help Ning Yu prepare. ”
Say three in a row.
Zhou Cunhou didn't say much when he saw this, and left with Su Ningyu to pack up Guining's things.
But on the way, I couldn't help but ask: "Do you really plan to inform your father-in-law about Huaide and ask him for help?"
Surprise and suspicion coexist, is she really so kind?
Who knows, but seeing that the face before meeting slowly turned red, Su Ningyu pretended to be shy and said coquettishly: "What did Houlang say, I didn't do this to help you." ”
In other words, this is for the sake of his face.
When the words fell, Zhou Cunhou was stunned, but more joyful.
Su Ningyu's move greatly satisfied his vanity, and he even had a little more patience with this woman he didn't like.
When returning to Ning.
Zhou Li looked at the boxes of things behind the carriage, frowned slightly, and she looked at Su Ningyu, who was standing next to her and was counting the gift list, and cleared her throat.
Seeing that her attention came to herself, she spoke.
"This pomp reminds me of you marrying in that day, with red makeup, but it's too extravagant."
In other words, there are too many things to take away, and I want Su Ningyu to bring less.
Who knew that this person had red eyes.
"Mother-in-law, I'm doing this for the sake of being decent, and I married in that day and prepared a rich dowry, but if I return to Ning... I'm afraid that I will be poked in the back, and when the time comes, I will have to find someone to give a gift for the second brother. ”
As soon as he made a phone call, Zhou Li was speechless.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Ningyu did not stop there, handed over the gift slip in her hand, and said in her mouth: "What's more, everything is taken from the dowry, no matter how bold the daughter-in-law is, she will not dare to embezzle the property in the treasury." ”
What she means is nothing more than her own things, and she can dispose of them as she wants.
Then he pretended to be empathetic.
"Mother-in-law is reasonable, this trip is too extravagant, why don't you stay according to your wishes."
At that time, Zhou Li's family had already froze in place, his face was not good, and the gift list was like a hot potato, and it was not possible to take it, nor was it to take it.
A big hand suddenly snatched the gift list.
It was Zhou Cunhou.
"It doesn't have to be like this, you need money up and down, and you can't let your father-in-law out."
It's a matter of your own face, and if you don't bring something to Su Mansion, it will be a shame.
Thinking of this, he frowned, and said to Zhou Li's family: "Mother, you go to the treasury and pick up a few more valuable things to add, don't let people see the jokes of the Zhou family." ”
The latter looked at the cart full of things with indignation, but also knew that he could not save this money.
Even if you are unwilling, you can only let it go.
The carriage was driving on the road, and he could hear the discussion outside, which greatly satisfied Zhou Cunhou's vanity, Su Ningyu ignored it and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Until the car stopped outside Zhou's house.
As soon as she came down, she saw middle-aged men and women standing outside the house, looking like they had been waiting for a long time, seeing this, Su Ningyu's mood was extremely complicated, and she lowered her eyes and whispered: "Dad, mother, Yu'er is back." ”
