Chapter 57: The Crazy Gambler
Mrs. Xiao bowed her head gently, and there was no pressure, and she jumped over.
As a result, the person sitting on the main seat was very serious, and looked at her with a complicated gaze and said: "Rou'er, I heard that the Du family has come to write again?"
How can a letter from home make the Xiao family know about it? nodded gently, waiting for Mrs. Xiao's next words.
Although she has always been very gentle with gentleness, Mrs. Xiao is a member of the Xiao family after all, so how can she think about the Xiao family. So after hesitating for a moment, she took her gentle hand and said, "You are a good boy, but our mother-in-law ...... Or don't care as well. In the past, you always said that you were your biological mother, but I saw that she didn't treat you as a daughter. ”
smiled gently, and said obediently: "Don't worry, mother, Rou'er didn't plan to deal with it this time." ”
"That's good. Frowning slightly, Mrs. Xiao sighed: "Our family is not short of money, but it is not a matter of always being wronged...... I heard that your mother-in-law owes a lot of gambling debts, and it has been known to the master of the Du family. ”
In ancient rich families, there were always concubines in the family, Du Wenrou always said that she was a concubine, although there seemed to be a lot of strange things, but according to the rules, her biological mother must be a concubine. The status is difficult to secure...... That is, it is going to be demoted, right?
Will she be implicated in anything?
was puzzled, so Mrs. Xiao explained her doubts: "Although you have already married and become a shocking wife, if your biological mother is demoted, I am afraid that the marriage of the Xiao Du family will have to be maintained by others." ”
Good guy, no wonder the letter said that it would affect the marriage of the two families, this kind of marriage of interest is naturally stable by the favored person, her biological mother was degraded, she is not a concubine, naturally she can no longer be Xiao Jingtang's wife.
Is the problem solved? Just let her go, and she can be regarded as having completed Du Wenrou's task?
"But don't worry. Holding her hand and patting it, Mrs. Xiao said very kindly: "My mother will never let Jingtang wronged you, and she will still let him treat you well." ”
Gentleness: "......"
It means that she is going to be beaten as an aunt, and she can't leave the Xiao family?!
"Mother!" stood up excitedly, and said softly and seriously: "I have a strong temperament and can't be a wife, so it's better to let me leave the Xiao family directly!"
Be a ghost aunt!
However, the words fell on Mrs. Xiao's ears, and it sounded like a different meaning-he actually threatened people with leaving the Xiao family, and he couldn't give up the location of the main room?
With a slightly gloomy face, Mrs. Xiao said slightly displeased: "My mother has always felt that you are a very sensible child. ”
Isn't she sensible enough?Gentle was a little dumbfounded: "The marriage between the Xiao Du family is maintained by someone else, and the second young master doesn't like me very much, what am I still doing here?"
"You are already married to Jingtang, and you have not made any mistakes, where is the reason to send you out?" Mrs. Xiao made a straight face: "Doesn't it make people think that our Xiao family is ruthless and unjust?"
Originally, there was not much affection, just like doing business, Du Gentle had to be a concubine to be a wife, not to become an aunt, it was completely like an item that was moved up and down, and placed in the right place according to the value.
Although Du Wenrou is a bit hateful, he is still pitiful in the end.
"I don't ask for anything else. After a pause, he said gently: "I just ask my mother to love me again for the sake of loving me." ”
Let her go, she really misses modern computers and mobile phones, as well as the drinking parties and year-end trips abroad!
Mrs. Xiao's eyes became complicated, she looked at her fixedly for a while, and her attitude changed a little: "You go back and rest first." ”
In the end, she is not her biological daughter, and she will change her face if she doesn't agree. Gently got up, didn't say anything, saluted honestly, and slowly withdrew.
Although there are many good mothers-in-law in the world, there are not many daughters-in-law who treat their daughters-in-law as their own daughters.
"Master. ”
Walking on the road, Shu Fang, who was behind, said in a low voice: "Why don't you borrow some silver from someone and give the money to Mrs. first." ”
"Why?" pouted softly: "This is a bottomless pit, and the silver can't fill it." I know that if I can't fill it out, I'll fill it in? ”
"But......" Shu Fang was very worried: "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. will come to you to make trouble?"
Can you still come to make trouble with her? Gentle also felt strange: "I owed her in my last life?
Shu Fang was stunned and wanted to persuade again, but his master had already thrown his sleeves and walked forward.
It's not that she doesn't have money, she has it, but she doesn't want to give it when she looks at the situation. What kind of thing is gambling? It's like a big quagmire, once you get stuck in it, if you want to win, you try to throw money into it, and you struggle upward, but the more you struggle, the harder it falls, and the people next to you pull it up, you have to be dragged down together.
She hates gambling, and will never pay anything for Du Wenwen's mother, she will pay back the money if she loves to gamble!
However, things don't seem to be as simple as she thinks.
After two days of peace, the storm came.
"Master!" Shu Fang rushed into the house early in the morning, woke her up in a hurry, and said, "Madame has come to Xiao's house!"
"What madame?" Stomach discomfort was terrible, gently turned over, and said tiredly: "Let me sleep for a while, I seem to have a little cold." ”
"Got a cold?" Shu Fang couldn't understand, but she was really anxious, and stomped her feet on the side of the bed and said, "No matter what, you have to get up quickly, Madame will be here soon, and the next person can't stop it!"
With a splitting headache, he sat up gently and irritably, and looked at her with a frown: "Who is here?"
“...... Your birth mother, Liu. Taken aback by her appearance, Shu Fang finally calmed down, frowned, and said, "How can the master be so haggard? ”
"Who knows. He got up and put on his clothes, yawned softly, and said: "The yard is lifeless, Xiao Jingtang doesn't come, and a few aunts don't come to play mahjong, and the trees are falling and scattered?"
"It's no wonder they're there. Shu Fang sighed: "I heard that there are things in various courtyards. ”
Ling Wanmei has been in a bad mood these days, she knows, what can the other aunts do?
I didn't have time to ask more, there was already some noise at the gate of the courtyard, and I hurriedly pulled my hair up, and as soon as I opened the door gently, I saw a woman dressed in brocade and messy hair rushing towards her.
"You conscienceless! Conscienceless thing!" pounced on her and grabbed her and beat her, Liu's eyes were bloodshot, and he said almost madly: "I worked hard to raise you and let you marry this good man, you are so useless, and you can't take out the money?"
slapped her on the back one by one, and gentleness exploded in an instant, reaching out to push the person away, and roaring angrily: "Who are you?"
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he pounced even more excitedly: "I'll let you see who I am!
Mrs. Du: Gentleness really has a feeling of a dog in her heart. are all wives of big families, how can this Liu family not have any face like a crazy woman?
Hurriedly stretched out his hand to block her attack, gritted his teeth gently, and said, "Can't you say something well? What are you doing so excited?"
"Your father is going to divorce me, why don't you get excited?!" Liu roared: "It's so difficult for you to give silver?!It's just five thousand taels, and when I have the capital to win the money back, I am still my Mrs. Du, and you are also your second young grandmother!"
Taking a deep breath, Gentle couldn't help it, and used the small grappling hand he had learned before to twist Liu's hands behind him, and then pressed his knees against her legs, pressing her whole person to the ground.
"Can you win it back if you give you the silver?" she sneered, "Lose more." ”
"If I can win it back, I almost turned over with a little capital!" screamed twice, and Liu shouted: "You let go of me, let go of me! Otherwise, you don't want to go on in the Xiao family!"
Extremely vicious, regardless of relatives and relatives, madness. Wen Rou felt that this kind of gambler could simply afford all the negative evaluations in the world! Look at this look, where is he still like a person? He actually came to Xiao's house to make trouble!
But it was really a big fuss, and Liu's voice was sharp and bright, attracting many people to stand at the gate of the West Courtyard to watch the excitement.
"What's going on?" Xiao Jingtang finally came, looked at the scene inside, and frowned.
As soon as he saw him, Liu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Son-in-law save me! This cheap hoof doesn't even recognize his own mother, you save me!"
"What do you say like this?" With a low snort, Xiao Jingtang looked at her and said gently: "Let go of her, no matter how you say it, she is also your biological mother." ”
Frowning, Gentle let go. But this time he was loose, and he was slapped on the face.
"Something without conscience, even your own biological mother dares to do it?!" One slap was not enough, Liu had to hit again, his hand was raised high, but he was stopped by Xiao Jingtang.
"Don't hit anyone. The second young master's expression was not very good-looking, and he glanced at Liu with a straight face: "I have something to say." ”
"Look, isn't this relationship very good? and you won't be able to get the money?" Liu smiled, withdrew his hand and looked at Xiao Jingtang and said, "I don't want to beat anyone, you give me money, and I'll go back." ”
Zhen Nima is a wonderful, right? Gentle sneer: "I won't give you the money if I give it to the beggar!"
"What did you say?" His face suddenly sank, and Liu's eyes looked at her coldly: "Do you think that you can sit back and relax in front of the second young grandmother, and you don't even pay attention to your mother?" Du Wenrou, don't you forget how Du Furui died!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Jingtang was stunned for a moment, looked at Gentle in surprise, and then looked at Liu: "Who do you say is dead?"
"Who else can there be?" Liu sneered: "Du Furui, aren't you very familiar with the second young master? The second young master has always wanted to marry, but unfortunately she is gone." ”
