Aunt Liu said: "We exchanged letters last year, but she has never been married. Now she runs an embroidery workshop and her life is pretty good."
Aunt Liu comes from a fairly good background. Her father is a local squire. He only has these two daughters and no sons.
Probably because he had no son, her father had no interest in making a living and was living in a state of intoxication every day.
When the two sisters reached the age of eight or nine, their family fortunes declined.
Later, his father died of illness, and his mother returned to her parents' home with her two daughters.
But my parents are gone, and my brother and sister-in-law don't want to see her.
Her mother took the two of them to Hezhou to propose marriage, but they ran out of money when they arrived in Tongzhou.
There happened to be a local tailor shop, and the couple had no children, so they bought her sister.
Aunt Liu and her mother took the money from her sister's prostitution and continued on their way, but they didn't get there. Her mother fell ill halfway and died in the inn within a few days.
It happened that a theater troupe also stayed in this inn. Seeing that Aunt Liu looked good, the troupe leader discussed with her that he would bury her mother for her and let Aunt Liu go with them.
Aunt Liu was only eleven years old at the time, and she was unfamiliar with the place, so she encountered this problem again.
The class leader said he wanted to help her, and she agreed without thinking.
The women in the opera troupe did not sing, but they could make a living by singing ditties in teahouses and taverns.
Aunt Liu followed the troupe for several years and gradually grew up.
Later, the troupe broke up, and she followed Aunt Hu and his wife to sing their way to Beijing.
After less than two years of singing in the capital, Aunt Hu's husband died and she didn't even have a piano player left.
Fortunately, she had already met Zheng Wuji and became his concubine.
Xu Chunjun said: "It's best if you have relatives to rely on. If you need anything, you can ask me. I will definitely help you if I can."
Aunt Liu's eyes were red, and she shook her head and said, "Thank you, grandma, for thinking about it, so I won't cause you any trouble."
Aunt Liu knew that even if she didn't leave, Xu Chunjun would not treat her badly and would support her for the rest of her life.
And now the life of Zheng Zheng's family is not a little better than before. Although she doesn't have money, her food, drink and clothing are all good.
But she still decided to leave, and she couldn't tell why.
Maybe Zheng Wuji has changed, maybe she wants to help Xu Chunjun.
Or maybe she wants to change her lifestyle and no longer wants to be a bird in a cage.
Although Aunt Liu said she didn't want anything, Xu Chunjun thought about it and said: "No matter what, you have been with me for a few years. I asked someone to send you to Tongzhou on a special trip. If your sister can live there, you can
Just stay, and if it doesn't work, come back. In addition, you always have to have some money to spare. This is something my uncle and I want, so don't refuse."
Xu Chunjun specially sent someone to send Aunt Liu to find her sister, and also brought her several hundred taels of silver.
Of course, even if you don't do this, no one will say that Xu Chunjun is not good.
But she thought that Aunt Liu had repented by doing this. Since she had kind thoughts, she might as well help her, which could be regarded as a good cause.
The matter with the An family was over. Xu Chunjun warned everyone in the Zheng family that from now on, no matter who asked, they were not allowed to say a bad word about the An family. They only said that their fate was over and there was no other reason.
Everyone was confused at first.

Lvchun said: "Girl, why should we save face for them? Then the An family may be secretly telling us how to arrange it for us!"
"We have seen too many things that undermine each other. Apart from embarrassing each other, is there any other use?" Xu Chunjun smiled softly, "Let them talk. If they say we are bad, the more we say they are good.
"
"How can that happen? In that case, wouldn't it be..." Green Ulva was so anxious that her face turned red.
"Do as I say, and you will understand what happens after a few months." After Xu Chunjun finished speaking, he lowered his head to read again.
In fact, many people, not only Green Ulva, don't understand what she did.
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. Since it was Xu Chunjun who said it, everyone followed it.
Xu Chunjun also said this to Zheng Wuji. Zheng Wuji didn't object at all after hearing this. Instead, he touched his chin and smiled: "Your method is so cruel, killing people without blood!"
As expected, the An family scolded everyone in the Zheng family after they reconciled.
He talked about why being rich is unkind, why he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and why he forgets his roots when he is in power.
At first, some people felt that what the Zheng family was doing was unethical, and they started talking and criticizing.
But as time went by, people began to feel more and more something was wrong.
Because the Zheng family has always said good things about the An family, while the An family has always said bad things.
If the two parties reconciled because Zheng Yuelang was unable to have children, it would be considered as a way for them to settle down.
Besides, the relationship has been severed, so why hold on to it?
Putting aside the reason of infertility, the divorce between husband and wife must be due to disharmony.
But if one slap can't make a difference, it's impossible for all the faults to fall on one person.
As the saying goes, since one thing is different and two things are wide, one should keep the water in the well and not the river in the river.
It seems that the Zheng family is kind and does not bully others with their power, nor does they use words.
Moreover, even if he broke off the relationship with the Zheng family, he gave them the house to live in for free for a month and a half, and did not ask for Zheng Yuelang's dowry. It can be said that he has done his best to benevolent and righteous.
"How's it going? Do you know this time?" Zi Ling asked Lvchun with a smile while winding the silk thread, "Then the An family is such a bad guy, and it deserves to be compared with our family? It would be too embarrassing for us to argue with them.
Identity.
Besides, even if you win the argument with them, so what? It's just a waste of time.
But it’s different now. It’s not only made them lose their lives, but also damaged our reputation. Can’t you figure out the debts inside and outside here?”
"It's done, you're smart and I'm stupid, aren't you?" Lu Chun pouted and said.
Zi Ling laughed after hearing this and said, "Actually, I only figured it out in the past few days. I didn't understand it at first."
Lvyan sighed softly and put down the work in her hands: "You said that when we raise children, we will stay with the girl. She, the second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl all grew up in the same family. Why is she like this?
Where's the smart one?"
"It's natural!" Zi Ling smiled and said, "Some people can't teach it, and some people can do it without teaching."
"So, people are more likely to die than others." Green Ulva shook her head repeatedly, "My life is over."
"Don't say that, everyone has their own fate. Besides, haven't we girls always said that we must be upright? As long as we don't do anything bad and follow our conscience in everything, we will only suffer losses." Zi Ling said with a smile.
"What I admire most about our girl is not how smart she is, but that she is smart but never harms others." She picked up the work in her hand again and said while doing it, "This is really rare."
