The old woman said it vividly, from beginning to end. In an instant, the gatekeeper took it into her heart and had no doubt at all, it must be like this!
She just said, the news spread so far away in eight villages in ten miles and eight villages, why couldn't she find anyone for several days, and no one suitable came to her door.
I'm sorry that the real person has been hidden!
This is serious. If you don’t know, then you won’t be able to find it for the rest of your life. The young master can’t afford to wait!
The mother-in-law was feeling energetic all over her body at the moment, and she just thought about how she could report this matter to her master. The benefits would be great, and she couldn't help but be happy.
She patted the old woman's hand and said with a smile: "Hey, sister, I know about this. Don't worry, you came here to report the news. I will also earn credit for you from the master, and you will definitely get the benefits!"
Unexpectedly, the old woman waved her hand, "No, no, I'm telling you this specifically for you, sister. I just want to see how close your eyes are, sister. When you mention this matter to the master, don't mention me. In our line of work,
It's not appropriate to talk loudly. If word spreads, it will ruin my business. You can blame anyone on this matter, but don't mention me!"
"I'm also afraid that the Zhang family doesn't want to send a girl to their door to celebrate the wedding. If they know I've reported the letter, they'll cause trouble for me!"
As soon as the mother-in-law heard this, she said that with the Cheng family, who would cause trouble?
But when she saw that the old lady insisted on not telling her, and that she didn't want any thanks from the Cheng family, she had no choice but to believe it even more.
When he saw the old woman waving her hands and leaving gracefully, she was still sighing. Sure enough, this man was grateful to the Cheng family for their kindness and came here to help.
She had to tell the grandma about this as soon as possible! Otherwise, the young master would be in great danger if he was a moment later!
The mother-in-law hurriedly entered the side door and bolted it.
The old woman who had walked out for a while looked back and saw that the gatekeeper had disappeared. She probably went in to report the news, so she grinned.
She had accomplished what the Zhang family had asked her to do, and she had done it so flawlessly that it was not a loss to give her these two taels of silver.
In this ten-mile-eight village, how can she, the sixth mother-in-law, know how to deceive people? The dead can tell you a story!
The old woman hummed happily and left Chengjiazhuang to go home.
The woman who was holding her daughter was staring at the side door, wondering if she could go through a back door, but she saw that the gatekeeper came in as soon as the old woman left, so she had to give up the idea.
However, she frowned, thinking about the few words she could barely hear after leaning over and raising her ears, such as Songshan Village, Zhang Family, etc., and she couldn't help but become curious.
She didn't know that old woman, but she knew about Songshan Village.
Didn’t her sister-in-law marry in Songshan Village?
But most of them didn't hear clearly, and the Zhang family had nothing to do with her. The woman shook her head and didn't think much about it. Seeing that it was their turn, the woman stretched her neck, tightened her daughter's hand and looked forward to it.
Although the long-term workers do not have to work in the fields these days, they still have three meals a day.
Because Cheng's family had many workers and they all lived in the same neighborhood, there was a dedicated kitchen, and two women were responsible for making food for these long-term workers. If they didn't go to the fields, they would go to the kitchen to get their own meals.
Ms. Chen went over with Ms. Shi and several other women and lined up to receive the food.
Men are different from women. Even if they don't work, men still have to eat more, so men queue up on the other side.
After receiving a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, Mrs. Chen stood at the door and waited for Zhang Donggua to come out and go back to the house to eat together. She couldn't finish her share, so she gave some to him, and he ate more.
There were two children playing together in the corner of the yard. Mrs. Chen recognized that they were the grandsons of the kitchen cook and the children of long-term workers, but they could not be brought here.
"Look at the tiger head! This earthworm is so big when I catch it! I will be happy to feed it to the little flowers."
Under the sun, the earthworm held high in the child's hand was as thick as a twig and long, indeed quite big.
Mrs. Chen glanced at her inadvertently, thinking that the little kid was just a little kid, and he could be so happy just by grabbing an earthworm.
earthworm……
Suddenly, Chen's pupils shrank, she thought of it!
So that’s it! She said why it sounds so familiar!
Thinking of this, Ms. Chen didn't care about waiting for Zhang Donggua, let alone eating. She handed the meal to Ms. Shi who was also waiting for her man, "Shi's family, I have to go out for something. You tell my man
Just give it a shout and I'll be back in a moment."
After saying that, Mrs. Chen ran outside quickly, but Mrs. Shi didn't even react or stop.
Mrs. Chen ran all the way to the corner gate of Cheng's house. She couldn't enter the Cheng's house without the long-term worker. Ms. Chen had also gone in here several times with the maids and old ladies in the house, so she went this way without thinking.
coming.
The woman guarding the corner gate recognized her and asked her to help embroider the insoles. When she saw her coming over in a hurry, she couldn't help but said: "Chen family, what happened? Why are you running in such a hurry?"
Ms. Chen wanted to say that she was looking for the eldest grandma, but she couldn't see her just when she wanted to, so she said, "Auntie Guan, I have something to do with Miss Ju Niang. Could you please help me go in and let me know?"
When Mrs. Guan heard that she was looking for Ju Xiang, she was also happy to help. Ju Xiang was a maid in the grandma's courtyard, and she also knew that Ju Xiang often asked Chen to embroider handkerchiefs and so on, and she had a good relationship with Chen.
He said, "Okay, just wait a minute and I'll go in and help you see if it's empty."
"Hey! Then please take care of Auntie."
Mrs. Chen was waiting impatiently outside. She wanted to make sure that it was what she thought. If she could only do it to the young master, then her family's pear blossoms would be suitable for happiness, so she would not have to worry about it.
Fortunately, she was not asked to wait. It was not for nothing that she helped embroider things on weekdays. When Juxiang heard that Mrs. Chen had something to do with her, and it happened to be free, she didn't delay and came out immediately.
"Aunt Chen, what do you want from me?"
Juxiang is not an ordinary maid, she is from the grandma's courtyard. She is naturally somewhat respectable in the house. If she wants to meet someone to talk to, it is okay to sit in the concierge. Juxiang pulled Chen into the concierge and sat in the concierge to talk.
Mrs. Guan also knew what was going on, so she stood guard at the door and did not follow him in.
Mrs. Chen took a breath, looked at Juxiang and said, "I just want to ask, how sick is the young master? But he still can't eat or drink, and can't urinate much?"
If it were someone else, she would have asked about the young master's illness as soon as he came up, and would have just started talking about shit and pee, but Ju Xiang wouldn't want to take any of the trouble.
But Chen was different. She quite liked Chen's temperament and the embroidery she made, as well as the hairpins carved by her man, which looked good when worn.
Seeing that there was only Granny Guan and no one else outside, Ju Xiang asked, "Why did Aunt Chen suddenly come to ask this?"
Mrs. Chen said: "Aren't you worried about the young master? That time when I followed Miss Juxiang into the inner courtyard, I was lucky enough to meet the young master. He is a good man. I have been worried about him these days."
This is true.
When Ju Xiang heard this, she sighed and said, "It's still the same. Grandma can't sleep well at night because of this."
