Chapter 14 No good face for the old lady

"Chengzhou's daughter-in-law, today's relatives who fled from the north have found us and want us to help us, so you can allocate some money to me so that they can tide over the difficulties."

Jiang Chan said lightly, "Mother is kind and kind, but I can't take out this money." ”

The old lady was anxious, "Our relatives are a family, we are all the same bloodline, what is this like when we don't save us when we die, but when we are down, we are left behind, where do you let my old face go!" ”

Jiang Chan secretly sneered, she was in such a hurry, I was afraid that the relative who fled back was Zhao Chengzhou.

Zhao Chengzhou is short of money, so it is naturally impossible for her to give a copper plate.

Jiang Chan sighed slightly, "I hope my mother understands, it's not that we don't want to help, these days I have checked the account books and found that many accounts are not correct, and even the cash in the house has been used up." ”

The old lady choked, "How is it possible! ”

Jiang Chan's eyes were red, and she asked rhetorically: "Does the mother suspect that her daughter-in-law is enriching her own pockets and deceiving her mother-in-law?" ”

"Naturally not, don't think too much." The old lady said hurriedly.

Jiang Chan said again: "It's useless to receive help, if he really needs relief from our Hou Mansion, he can find an errand in the mansion, and there has been no good thing about pies from ancient times to today." ”

The old lady twitched, not knowing what to say to refute, "That's what I said." ”

The old lady touched Jiang Chan's nose and left after a while.

Back in the room, the old lady opened the jewelry box distressedly, "Mama Yang, exchange these jewelry for silver and give it to the young master." ”

"This Turquoise hairpin is your favorite ......"

"It's just some jewelry, I'm well fed and clothed in the house, if Zhou'er has no money and is afraid of sleeping on the streets, these are nothing."

The old lady felt sorry for the jewelry and hated Jiang Chan very much.

If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have pawned jewelry for silver today, and Zhou'er and Liniang wouldn't have quarreled endlessly.

A few days later, Chen Sheng came to the door again, and the money sent was spent again.

The old lady was angry day and night, she pawned everything, and she really couldn't get the money.

complained in my heart that Liniang spent money lavishly, and she didn't know how to restrain herself at all.

"Old lady, the second lady is here." Mama Yang said.

Jiang Chan walked into the room and saw that the old lady had changed her usual extravagance, she was wearing a simple blue cardigan, no jewelry, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she had words in her mouth.

Jiang Chan naturally guessed the reason.

Jiang Chan said, "Mother." ”

The old lady sighed slightly, "I always dream of a boat these days, and he always says that it is so cold down there, he can't eat enough or dress warmly, and he is bullied by others." ”

Jiang Chan sneered, without the Hou Mansion sending him money, he naturally couldn't eat enough and wear no warmth.

If it's not acting, she will too.

Jiang Chan pretended to be surprised, "But last night, my husband entrusted me with a dream, saying that he was all right down there, let me tell you not to worry too much." ”

The old lady twitched her cheeks and continued: "Zhou'er is sensible and considerate of his daughter-in-law, he is afraid that you will be worried, so he doesn't want to say more, so he gave me a dream." ”

"These days, I sincerely eat fasting and chant Buddha, tomorrow I will go to Yuntong Mountain to pray for Zhou'er, and the Hou Mansion will be handed over to you to take care of in a few days, don't let me see the wrong person."

Jiang Chan shed a few tears, "Xianggong is so considerate, it stands to reason that I am his daughter-in-law, so naturally I have to go to Yuntong Mountain with my mother to pray for Xianggong and worship the Buddha." ”

The old lady was shocked and said sharply: "No." ”

She was stunned, found that her tone was a little inappropriate, and explained, "Mother means that the Hou Mansion cannot be left without an owner for a day, and since I hand over the financial power to you, I believe in your ability, and don't disappoint my mother." ”

Jiang Chan squinted slightly, this old lady was used to being scheming, and now she just cheated and let her show her fox tail.

This made Jiang Chan even more convinced that she was going for Zhao Chengzhou this time.

Jiang Chan pretended to compromise and arranged a carriage for the old lady.

Early the next morning.

The old lady hurried away, for fear of delay.

During this time, the old lady was not in the Hou Mansion, and no one came to trouble Jiang Chan again, but she hoped that the old lady could go for more time.

Yuntong Mountain is about two quarters of an hour's foot away from Hou's Mansion, and just after noon, the carriage stopped at the door of a house in Yuntong Mountain.

The old lady hurriedly got out of the carriage, and a tall man came out of the house.

"Zhou'er, mother is here." The old lady looked at her son with a distressed face, and she didn't feel good in her heart.

It was all Jiang Chan who harmed Zhou'er who couldn't go back to his home, so he could only hide in a poor countryside like Yuntong Mountain and suffer.

"You're suffering outside, and Mother will let you come home sooner and be happy."

Zhao Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old lady coming, "Mother is tired and running, so let's go to the room to rest for a while." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "What about Liniang, why don't you see her come out with her good grandson?" ”

"She's tired, and she's resting with Xu'er." Zhao Chengzhou touched his nose weakly.

The old lady didn't think about it so much, "It's okay, I plan to stay for a few days this time, and accompany my good grandson, I haven't seen this for a few days." ”

Li Niang heard that the old lady was coming in the room, and scolded Zhao Chengzhou, "She just sent these silver coins, how embarrassed to come to see Xu'er!" ”

Zhao Chengzhou had a splitting headache, "You be quiet, if you let your mother hear it, you should be sad." ”

"Sad?" Li Niang pulled down her face, her face was ugly, and she said angrily, "When you didn't buy me that box of rouge yesterday, why didn't you think that I would be sad?" ”

Liniang has a posture of not giving an explanation and vowing not to give up.

Zhao Chengzhou softly hugged Liniang's shoulders and said flatteringly: "Liniang, don't be angry, if we return to the Hou Mansion, I can buy you a hundred copies at that time, why rush for a while?" ”

"Get out!"

Li Niang pushed Zhao Chengzhou away irritably, he was defenseless, staggered a few steps and almost tripped to the ground.

"At the beginning, you swore that you would give me a good life with fine clothes and food, and then see which one has been fulfilled now!"

"I don't care anyway, I just like that box!"

Li Niang pushed Zhao Chengzhou away, closed the door with a "bang", and avoided him.

Li Niang was furious because Zhao Chengzhou didn't buy rouge yesterday, and she didn't have a good face in the face of the old lady.

At dinner in the evening, Li Niang looked at a few dishes of light side dishes with cold eyes.

She smashed her chopsticks and said angrily, "I eat these bad dishes every day, and I will be allowed to eat them for as long as I want!" ”

Zhao Chengzhou glanced at the old lady, "Liniang, these days are overstretched, you can bear with it for the time being, I will let you live a good life." ”

Li Niang glared at him, "Good day? Look what kind of life I've been living here, hiding in the remote mountains with you, and I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness. ”

Li Niang angrily left the antechamber.

Zhao Chengzhou was in a dilemma, glanced at the old lady, and turned to follow the angry Liniang.

The old lady also lost her appetite, "I finally saw Zhou'er, but I was dumped by Liniang, all thanks to Jiang Chan!" ”

thinks that she has been pampered for most of her life, and she has never suffered such grievances.

Thinking of Jiang Chan, the old lady trembled with anger.
