Chapter 488: Resentment

The Ma family sisters, Haitang and Zhou Yijun were discussing which temple in the city to go to pray for blessings, and Cailuo came back from the east courtyard.

She reported to Zhou Ma with embarrassment: "Madam, the eldest young master is not here, and the master called him away." ”

Zhou Mashi was stunned: "Did the master ask him to talk about the mother-in-law in the West Courtyard?" In such a hurry? She couldn't help pursing her lips, thinking that Zhou Jinpu really deserved to be the eldest son of her husband Zhou Shigong. As soon as Zhou Shigong came back from the West Courtyard, he couldn't wait to call his eldest son over to talk, this was for fear that the eldest son would not know what bad things his step-grandmother had done to raise him, and he would worry about her?

Zhou Mashi thought of his son Zhou Jinlin, who was far away in Ningxia Zhongwei, and his daughter Zhou Zhilan, who was not married well, and he only felt sour and unspeakably uncomfortable. The pair of children she gave birth to for Zhou Shigong have never been so careful and considerate from their father!

I don't know if this difficulty affected her thoughts, she subconsciously blurted out: "According to the forehead, Zhou Jinpu doesn't have to worry about the old lady of the West Courtyard, it's best not to even ask, so as to save trouble." On the bright side, the mother-in-law seems to have raised him, and she has worked hard, but even without her, he can still live well, and this stepmother is not vicious, can she still make him suffer? If it weren't for the doting on him from the West Courtyard, he might not have grown into the wasted person he has achieved nowhere!

"That mother-in-law clearly harmed him all his life, if he doesn't resent it, forget it, why is he still grateful? You must know that his current daughter-in-law was also married back for him by the mother-in-law. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came...... It's really a good eye, and I don't know if it's the person that the mother-in-law deliberately picked! There are so many daughters-in-law in the Zhou family, whose daughter-in-law is the one who wants to reconcile and divorce as soon as something happens to her mother-in-law? It's a shame on the faces of the three rooms! ”

When Ma heard her say this, he persuaded her: "Eldest sister, this is a matter between my brother-in-law and Zhou Jinpu, why do you bother to get involved?" Zhou Jinpu is so old, he has long been told to teach bad hearts in the West Courtyard, even if he knows that he is not a good person over there, he will not change his opinion of you. Instead of wasting your efforts on him, you might as well focus on your children and grandchildren, and fight for a good future for the Jinlin family first. Whether Zhou Jinpu will be good or bad in the future, his father has his own worries. You don't ask, but you avoid suspicion! ”

Zhou Mashi smiled: "I know, I still need you to teach?" It's just a matter of saying a few words here to vent the resentment in my heart. ”

Cailuo told Ma again: "The slave maid heard the concierge in the outer courtyard say that the young master is waiting for his aunt and Miss Cousin at the door. He originally wanted to come in, but there were many people in the house, and the lord had orders, and the porter didn't dare to let anyone in, so he could only ask him to sit in the gatehouse and have tea. ”

Ma Shi was reminded by her words: "Ah, I feel like I forgot something, it turned out to be Baoshun!" I saw that the door of the eldest sister's house was open, and I wanted someone to call him over to see the eldest sister together, but as soon as I saw Zhenguo Gong and they entered the door, they all forgot about it. ”

She turned back to Zhou Ma and said, "Baoshun doesn't know how long I've been waiting in the gatehouse, let's take the children back first, Ming'er is free, and then come to talk to the eldest sister." You're tired from the day, so take a good rest. Big brother, I'll carry the letter for you. ”

Zhou Mashi disagreed: "When the door of the house is reopened, and when relatives and friends come to the door, the news will spread." The eldest brother and sister-in-law know that their family is fine, so they will naturally come to the door, and they don't need your help. is ruthless and unrighteous as a brother and sister-in-law, if you are too eager to be a sister, it will inevitably seem to be cheap. When the next time our family encounters a turmoil, God knows what kind of faces they will show? If they can't honestly make amends, it's not so easy to forgive them! ”

Although Zhou Ma kept saying that he could understand what his brother and sister-in-law did, he obviously had complaints in his heart. Now that the catastrophe has passed, her understanding has been put aside, and she has begun to have the leisure to worry about her brother and sister-in-law.

Ma Shi smiled and didn't say much: "Cheng, according to the eldest sister's meaning." It's just that Zhilan ...... over there."

Zhou Ma waved his hand: "On Zhilan's side, Ezi will write a letter and send someone to send it to her, which will also make her feel at ease." When the funeral is going to be held in the West Courtyard, her granddaughter will also wear the filial piety meaning for a year, so she must have a number in her heart, and then prepare a few plain clothes for her in advance. Her family is not well-off, the elderly are sick, and there are many children, so the family has paid for her, and it saves her embarrassment. ”

is also to treat relatives who tend to be auspicious and avoid evil, Zhou Ma's attitude towards his biological daughter is different from that of his brother and sister-in-law, and it is very double standard.

Ma didn't bother to comment on his eldest sister's double standard, so he only greeted his granddaughter Haitang and planned to leave. Zhou Ma only felt mentally exhausted, although he was very reluctant to see his sister, but he really couldn't get up to see him off, so he could only ask his granddaughter Zhou Yijun to do it for him.

Zhou Yijun sent Ma and Begonia out of the gate all the way, and reluctantly, repeatedly told Begonia to come to see him often, even if he was not free to go out, he had to write more letters to himself. Haitang answered, paused, and then whispered to her: "Although the ending of the West Courtyard has been decided, but that person has had the experience of running away from home before, I don't know how capable she is, and she is not short of wealth means." You'd better keep an eye on it, but don't let people escape. Until she is honest and obedient, your family will have to beware of her being a burden to you. The evidence today can prove your family's innocence, but if she escapes, that's another story. ”

Zhou Yijun suddenly showed an awe-inspiring look and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry!" I'll go back and tell my grandmother. If my grandmother doesn't send more people, I will also send someone to keep an eye on every exit of the West Courtyard! "These days, because she follows her grandmother to take care of the housework, she now has some little authority, and she can call some people in her hands. She can do this without her grandmother's nod.

Begonia shook her hand, followed behind her grandmother Ma, and met her brother's reef who was waiting outside the door.

Haijiao greeted Zhou Yijun with a salute, and said to his sister with a smile: "After I received Ma Changnian's message, I rushed over immediately, but unfortunately the door in this house has been closed and I refuse to let people in." I still had to rely on my aunt's dignity to go into the concierge and wait, otherwise I would have to eat on the street outside like everyone else! ”

Haitang caught a glimpse of people standing on both sides of the road outside the door of the third room of the Zhou family, and knew that this must have been sent out by the Zhou family to inquire about the news, so she hurriedly helped her grandmother Ma to get into the carriage: "Let's go back quickly, and talk when we get home." What happened in the third room of the Zhou family today, the old lady in the fourteenth room will spread the news. ”

Don't look at the old lady of the fourteenth room who rarely speaks today, she has been in the crowd from beginning to end, and clearly knows every detail of the entire interrogation. With her resentment towards Mrs. Ma, she must have done a good job of publicizing Mrs. Ma in front of her clansmen. Although Zhou Shigong didn't want this matter to be publicized, there were so many people present today, and each of them had different positions, how could it really block the news? And the old lady in the fourteenth room is the bitter master of Mrs. Ma, he can't stop people, and he is embarrassed to stop him.

The reputation of the Zhou family's three rooms, and the prestige of the old lady of the three rooms, are destined to be greatly affected, but this is just the price they have to pay. What is this small price compared to the catastrophe of the past?

Haitang and Ma's ancestors sat firmly in the car, and Haijiao jumped on the wheel of the car and ordered Ma Changnian to drive home.

He also turned back to his grandmother and sister in the carriage and said, "Auntie's family is safe, right?" Although I didn't go in to hear the trial, I guessed that my aunt and grandfather should have good news when he saw him off the door, and he looked relaxed......
