Chapter 160 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (forty-seven)
A month later, a group of carriages and horses slowly entered the capital.
"Although Madam is the Tai Madam's niece, you are the Tai Madam's eldest granddaughter."
"...Even for your grandmother's sake, they would never dare to bully you!"
In the carriage, Grandma Zhou had changed back into the attire of a servant.
She sat next to Han Jiaojiao and said words of comfort that she didn't even believe.
Han Jiaojiao lazily leaned against the car window, muttering to herself:
Yes, they really don't dare to bully me openly.
But carrying a gun and a stick, ridiculing openly and implicitly, criticizing mulberry trees and slandering mulberry trees and so on are indispensable.
If the Han family was a good place, her mother would not have died back then.
I will not be raised to be cowardly or have low self-esteem.
Fortunately, my aunt——
Alas, how wonderful it would be if I could stay with my aunt for the rest of my life?
Ten-year-old Han Jiaojiao grew up, saw more of the world with Gu Qingcheng, and began to think more.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and her palm-sized face became flushed.
However, it is not easy to achieve what you want.
My family's family status is too high, and——
Don’t be afraid either!
I still have a trump card.
A strange light flashed in Han Jiaojiao's eyes.
Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the door of a high-rise building.
Aunt Zhou was right, everyone in the Han family "valued" her very much.
Her stepmother, her father's concubine, and the outstanding concubine who had been her childhood shadow, all came to the door with great fanfare and greeted her as a young lady with great fanfare.
What is this for?
On the surface, they attach great importance to her, but in fact, they want to label her as arrogant, domineering and disrespectful to her stepmother?
A stepmother is also a mother. Even if she has not given birth to her or raised her for a day, as long as she has this status, she is her elder.
Let the elders come to greet you, tsk tsk, you are indeed arrogant and indulgent.
Han Jiaojiao sneered secretly, but her whole person had already entered the "state".
The car door slowly opened, and Grandma Zhou jumped out first.
She didn't bother to salute everyone in the Han family and carefully supported Han Jiaojiao.
A thin girl wearing an apricot dress staggered down from the carriage.
Stepmother Han first glanced at the clothes critically: it was not very plain, which was consistent with her status as a filial piety; but it was not too ostentatious, after all, she had only been out of filial piety not long ago.
Then, Stepmother Han's eyes fell on the girl's face again.
Well, the little girl lowered her head and hunched her shoulders, so it was impossible to see her face and expression clearly.
However, just looking at the shrinking head and hunched back appearance, there is almost no difference from three years ago.
He’s still that little loser who can’t stand on the stage!
With this thought in her mind, Stepmother Han still had a standard smile on her face.
She took a quick step forward and greeted him, "Oh, Jiaojiao, you are finally back!"
"You kid, you are so cruel, you didn't go home for three years."
"Do you know how much your grandmother misses you? She was ill some time ago -"
Tsk, what a big black pot.
The stepmother was scolding her for being "unfilial".
For a ten-year-old girl, this crime is not a light one.
Of course, under the influence of Gu Qingcheng, Han Jiaojiao didn't care about "fame".
However, not caring does not mean that some people can label her unscrupulously.
Originally, Han Jiaojiao was a little hesitant: Should she do something so extreme? Although her stepmother was not very close to her, she didn't have any big grudges.
My mother's death was more of a heart attack.
Rather than being made mad by her husband, concubine, or some kind of cousin, as outsiders commented.
Han Jiaojiao understood this very clearly.
In the past three years, my stepmother has not taken the initiative to provoke him.
And if Han Jiaojiao targets her, it would be a bit unkind.
But now, when Han Jiaojiao saw her stepmother hiding the needle, Han Jiaojiao's slight embarrassment disappeared.
This person!
Should!
"It's my fault! Mother taught me the right lesson!"
Han Jiaojiao slowly raised her head, revealing her delicate little face.
While "admitting her mistake", she started to perform——
cry!
Weeping makes the pear blossoms bring rain, crying makes the cuckoo cry blood.
Aunt Zhou, who was supporting Han Jiaojiao, looked numb: ...This scene looks so damn familiar.
Aunt Zhou was already used to it internally, but on the outside she still had to cooperate with her little lady, showing a worried and panicked look.
She hurriedly persuaded, "Don't worry, Madam is just teaching you, not scolding you for being unfilial!"
Stepmother Han:......
She was dumbfounded, okay?
Her impression of Han Jiaojiao was still the timid and shrinking figure three years ago.
She only heard about Han Jiaojiao's illness.
After all, Han Jiaojiao fell seriously ill on her way back to Beijing and stayed in an unknown small county for three years to recuperate.
It took three years to recover, which shows how serious the original illness was.
But when she looked at it today, Stepmother Han realized that she was naive.
What does "raise well" mean?
This girl is clearly about to die of illness!
Whose nice young lady would vomit blood at every turn?
Really vomiting blood.
Stepmother Han was so frightened by Han Jiaojiao's bloody handkerchief that she never thought that she seemed to be the most vicious stepmother in the capital.
Half a day later, word spread in Beijing——
The noble daughter of the Han family had just returned to Beijing. Before she even entered the house, her stepmother scolded her until she cried, and was even forced to vomit blood.
Coughing up blood at a young age is not a good sign.
This is a sign of premature death!
Han Jiaojiao "became famous in one battle" and shocked the entire Han family.
From then on, no one dared to mess with her again.
What to do to provoke her?
A sick man who vomited blood at every turn offended her, and it was his own fault that she died.
If she doesn't die, she will have to bear the reputation of bullying a patient.
The step-sibling of the Han family is such a bloody example.
After only one meeting and a few insinuations that housewives were good at, he was deprived of his housekeeping rights and grounded for three months.
Tsk, all my face is gone!
This means that she is the Tai Madam's biological niece, and the Han family cannot deal with her too much.
Otherwise, it is possible to send her to a Buddhist temple and rest for two or three years!
Treated as a fragile porcelain doll by the whole family, Han Jiaojiao was taken care of in every possible way and took every possible precaution.
Lying lazily on the finely carved Babu bed, I feel a little melancholy——
Alas, Auntie, when can you enter Beijing?
I miss you!
…
After Han Jiaojiao left, the courtyard on the west side became empty.
Not long after, there was a new homeowner.
Yes, the yard was sold.
The head of the new family is a retired veteran.
It is said that he is a local from his hometown, but he went out to serve as a soldier more than 20 years ago.
When he was almost fifty years old, he missed his hometown and took his family back to their roots.
But in my hometown village, I no longer have any relatives, not even a familiar friend.
The old man was very disappointed, but he couldn't bear to leave his hometown, so he simply entered the county town.
He used his savings to buy a yard on the back street of the college and became neighbors with Gu Qingcheng.
"Ms. Gu, my maiden name is Yang. Just call me Mrs. Yang."
After the new neighbor moved in, the old lady who headed the house began to visit the neighbor with the yellow rice cake she made.
Gu Qingcheng's family is the first family.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at the old woman who called herself Mrs. Yang. She was in her forties, not tall and not fat.
His clothes were starched and washed, and he looked neat and tidy.
The old lady's eyes bear traces of time, but there are not many hardships in life.
Her eyes are very upright and her character should not be bad!
besides--
Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed slightly, and she silently kept her guess in mind.
When Gu Qingcheng faced Madam Yang, he was still his signature weak and soft-hearted person.
In a few words, he told Madam Yang all about his family's "family background".
Madam Yang: ...This one is really as easy to fool as the legend says.
He trusts others so easily. If he didn't have a strong mother-in-law and a reliable son, he would have been tricked to the bone.
Grotting in her heart, Mrs. Yang introduced her family's situation appropriately.
The old man in her family was named Huo. When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, his family suffered a disaster and there was really no way to survive, so he joined the army.
I have been marching and fighting for more than 20 years, but I have not achieved any merit.
He had neither official position nor wealth, so he fell ill.
Fortunately, I still saved some money, otherwise, I wouldn't even have the money to go back to my hometown or buy a house.
Old Man Huo has two sons, both of whom are married and have children.
The eldest son made a living by relying on martial arts, so he stayed abroad.
The younger son has done some small business and it is not convenient for him to come back.
The two sons were worried about their parents, so they each gave birth to a son and accompanied the old couple back to their hometown as filial piety for their father.
"My seventh son is fourteen years old this year, and his twelve son is eleven years old. They are about the same age as your elder son."
"However, my two grandsons are not good at studying."
"Oh, I've been dancing with swords and guns all day without stopping."
Madam Yang seemed to be disgusted, but her eyes were full of love.
Obviously, both grandchildren are her darlings.
"It's good to practice martial arts. My Erlang also likes to practice martial arts!"
“And my great-nephew from my mother’s side also learned from me.
Gu Qingcheng looked innocent and followed Madam Yang's words and said happily, "I specially hired a martial arts master who is also a retired soldier from the army."
"It's a pity that our Heyin County is a bit small after all. We don't even have a serious martial arts gym."
Martial Arts School?
A flash of light flashed in Madam Yang's eyes.
This is quite a good living.
…
There were new neighbors, but the lives of Gu Qingcheng, mother and son were not affected.
In autumn, Zhao Yuanyi got married.
Gu Qingcheng prepared a fairly generous dowry for her. He doubled the money she earned from selling embroidery tenfold and gave it to her again.
There are also some cloths and medicinal materials.
Books handwritten by Zhao Qingyun.
...all kinds of things, and a wooden box full of them was collected.
Zhao Yuanyi cried so hard when she saw this dowry, which was definitely the first in their Zhao family village.
Her aunt was so affectionate and kind to her.
In her heart, her aunt has already surpassed her biological parents.
Zhao Qingyun, the youngest scholar in the county, personally escorted his cousin out, which made the whole He family very happy.
Originally, they only took a fancy to Zhao Yuanyi's embroidery skills and the relationship between Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Cui.
I never expected that Zhao Yuanyi’s cousin would be so fierce.
The twelve-year-old scholar is the Wenquxing who descended to earth.
