Mrs. Chen smiled shyly, glanced at Grandma Cheng, and said slowly: "I only heard about it a while ago. The baby that the young master wants to be happy with here must be born on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month."
, I was shocked at that time. To be honest, my daughter happened to be on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month. My family didn’t know much about this, but I knew everything about it.”
"The young master is the same age as my son, and we are both mothers. I know that he is seriously ill and cannot afford it, so I feel a little worried about it. The Cheng family is very kind, and we have been working in the Cheng family for more than ten years.
I have been working for a long time, and I am very grateful to the Cheng family. Therefore, I really want to hide this matter from the Cheng family.
The reason why I have the heart to refuse is definitely not because of the thousand taels of gold."
"We, as a couple, also love our daughter, and my daughter has already made an appointment and will get married next year. At this point, we really have to cancel the marriage... We are also in a dilemma..."
"For this reason, I asked a few more questions about the young master's illness, and then I felt it sounded familiar. I wanted to see it with my own eyes, so I approached Miss Juxiang."
"At Miss Juxiang's place, I also heard that my eldest grandma had found out somewhere that my daughter's birth date matched her horoscope and that she planned to go to my house in the afternoon. I didn't know what to do."
"Fortunately, I met the young master and found out that the disease was indeed the same as what I knew. I successfully cured the young master. God bless me."
After saying that, Ms. Chen smiled sheepishly and said, "So, grandma, you see, I came to save the young master by chance and happened to save the young master. In the final analysis, it was because my daughter did not come to celebrate.
"How can I be thanked by grandma for being so selfish? I'm really ashamed."
Grandma Cheng felt like she was just listening to a play. She thought that Mr. Chen's request for help from not wanting the golden thousand taels was something serious, but she didn't know that there was such a twist in it.
So the girl who is suitable for marriage turns out to be Mrs. Chen’s daughter?
At this moment, Grandma Cheng had to think a little more. The auspicious time of the eighth day of the eighth lunar month predicted by Chengyang Taoist Priest was not actually referring to the birth of this girl, right?
The Chen family gave birth to a daughter at this time, so this hexagram is actually in line with the Chen family.
So Chen finally cured her son. Is this God’s true guidance?
Thinking about it like this, how could Grandma Cheng blame Mrs. Chen for concealing her daughter’s birth date?
They are all mothers, and to be honest, she would not be happy if her daughter really wanted to celebrate someone else's birthday.
This is not a matter of family status. Mothers love their children the same way.
At this moment, Grandma Cheng became more and more fond of Mrs. Chen. She loved her children, and of course, she also liked parents who loved their children.
In particular, she had seen many parents these days who heard that the rich betrothal gift was about to send their daughter, and she liked Chen even more.
Those who love their daughter will certainly not be jealous of money.
However, these are two different things.
"So that's it. I understand everything you said. However, you have selfish motives. We, the Cheng family, keep their word. We were supposed to give you a thousand taels of gold as a surprise. You just made a mistake. It's almost the same.
No matter what the cause is, it is a fact that you cured my son, so you have to bear this thousand taels of gold."
Grandma Cheng didn't say much about her guess about Taoist Priest Chengyang's divination. She only said that she must give her a thousand taels of gold.
At this moment, she was even more willing to give Chen the money if she liked it.
Although a thousand taels of gold is indeed a lot, it is still within reach for the Cheng family.
Seeing that she had said everything frankly, Grandma Cheng was not angry that she had hidden the birth date of her daughter. Or if she was angry that she was saving people for selfish reasons, Mrs. Chen didn't know what to say.
I just feel that Grandma Cheng is really a good person.
Hearing that she wanted to give him the thousand taels of gold, Chen subconsciously waved her hand to refuse.
"I want my grandma to know that although I am a country peasant woman who has never read or read, I still know that a big tree attracts the wind. For ordinary people, this thousand taels of gold is a wealth that cannot be used up in a few lifetimes."
, if I really get it, it’s like a hot potato, and I won’t be able to live peacefully for the rest of my life.”
"And to be honest with you, grandma, my husband's family...every family has its own problems that are difficult to recite. If I really took the money, I wouldn't be able to use it, and it would be troublesome."
As Grandma Cheng listened, she probably understood that Chen's husband's family probably had some difficulties that they couldn't talk to outsiders about.
I also remembered that I had called the steward over there earlier to ask about the Chen couple. The steward said that the Chen man had just signed a ten-year contract not long ago and had advanced eighty taels of silver in advance, saying that he would take it out.
Her man's brother took it away.
She nodded, indicating that she understood what Chen meant, but it was impossible for her to save her life without expressing it at all.
"In this case, let's not talk about a thousand taels of gold. I'll give you a hundred taels of gold. Don't worry. These five taels of gold ingots are only twenty of a hundred taels. They can be packed in a small box.
It’s easy to put it away and not be conspicuous.”
"No one will know if you leave my yard. I will take care of this matter. No one outside will know that you have received so much money. Just keep it carefully."
"In addition, I heard that you and your wife signed a contract with the Cheng family. I also gave you the contract. From now on, you will still be free long-term workers. You can leave at any time when you want to stop working for the Cheng family.
Don’t worry about the ten-year contract.”
While they were talking, a maid brought a small box to Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen happened to arrive and saw that there was a box where the maid came with a small box. This box was also taken out from that box.
I guess Grandma Cheng really planned to give her a thousand taels of gold.
After hearing what Grandma Cheng said, she was very considerate. For a moment, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but refuse.
In her heart, she was actually afraid that people outside would know that she had received a reward for saving the young master, and the family would be in trouble again. Then there would be no money to cover it up, so she might as well not give it up.
But now that Grandma Cheng is willing to help hide it and prevent this matter from spreading, what's wrong with her accepting the hundred taels of gold?
At that time, I can give Lihua a generous dowry.
And if she really doesn't want any benefits today, it's one thing for the Cheng family to feel uneasy, but they also won't be able to trust her as their savior.
After thinking about it, Ms. Chen didn't refuse. She saw that the box was indeed quite small and she could carry it back with it in her armpit.
Then he accepted it with a smile.
Seeing that she accepted it, Grandma Cheng felt relieved.
If the benefactor doesn't accept anything, then what does the life of the young master of the Cheng family count?
Just accept it.
However, the promised thousand taels were suddenly reduced by 90%. Grandma Cheng also thought highly of Chen and thought that she could help Chen if something happened in the future.
The first one is this errand, I can help.
"If you tear up the deed, it won't count. Sister Chen, I want to ask you, do you plan to continue working in the Cheng family from now on?"
