The people in the room were surprised again, even Mr. Chen sat up straight.
"Sister is leaving?" Dan Niang shouted.
"Of course I have to leave," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
She stayed here quietly, giving injections and prescribing medicine every day, and staying in her own yard the rest of the time. If Mrs. Chen hadn't gotten better day by day, everyone in the Chen family would have almost forgotten her existence.
"Madam, it's better to stay a little longer." Chen Shao said.
"Sanlang, you can't do this." Old Mrs. Chen said, "My wife has been living here for more than half a month. Since she said she wants to leave, I can leave you because of my illness."
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded, and Chen Shao had no choice but to stop forcing it.
"Is that lady going back to Jiangzhou or..." he hesitated and asked.
"I will stay in the capital for a while and then talk about my return journey." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Chen Shaosong said, as long as he is still in the capital, it will be fine. After all, his father is the best. Although this lady said that she can rest assured, she is really not at ease as a son.
In the evening of the same day, Mrs. Chen Shao personally delivered the consultation fee.
Cheng Jiaoniang pushed the red seal back.
Although Cheng Jiaoniang didn't say how much she would receive, and Mrs. Chen didn't say how much she would give, it can be imagined that the amount of red envelopes handed over would not be small.
Mrs. Chen Shao is a little uneasy, or does she still dislike Shao?
"Madam, please do me a favor." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I'm not familiar with Beijing. Please, madam, help me find a house to rent."
Mrs. Chen looked surprised, and the Zhou family's maid and girl, who were kneeling outside, looked at each other in astonishment.
OMG!
It took a while for Mrs. Chen to come back to her senses.
"It's too sudden and too urgent. It's hard to find someone for a while. It's better for me to live at home and move there when the search is complete. You can also choose carefully." Mrs. Chen said.
Cheng Jiaoniang's mouth curved.
"Madam, the reason why I asked you to find me is because this matter is too urgent," she said.
Mrs. Chen looked embarrassed. This lady looked quiet and elegant, and didn't talk much, but her mouth was always sharp.
Here, Mrs. Chen laughed after hearing what Chen Shao and his wife said.
"Then just do what she says." He said, "What she said is true. If you really want to find it, you can find it no matter how urgent you are."
After that, think about it for a moment.
"There's no need to ask her. Just sell her our house by Yudai Bridge. It's fully furnished and you can live in it directly," he said.
Chen Shao hesitated for a moment.
"Father, are you selling it to her?" he asked.
No, gift?
"Sell it to her." Mr. Chen nodded and reiterated.
Chen Shao responded yes.
The news quickly spread to the Zhou family. Just as the Chen family heard it for the first time, the Zhou family was also in an uproar.
"She really said that?" Master Zhou shouted.
The servant girl in front of me was trembling.
"Yes, yes, sir, Mrs. Chen has already gone to discuss with Mr. Chen about buying a house for Mrs. Cheng," she said.
"This cheap maid!" Mr. Zhou cursed angrily, "You are so disrespectful!"
"Master, what should we do?" Mrs. Zhou said with an ugly face, "If word gets out, what will outsiders say about us?"
At first, the results of the diagnosis and treatment were unknown, and neither the Chen nor Zhou family publicized seeking medical treatment. Now, as Mr. Chen is recovering from his illness, the Zhou family has revealed their relationship with Mr. Chen's recovery, intentionally or unintentionally.
Every three days, Mrs. Zhou would visit the Chen family. Although she may or may not have seen Cheng Jiaoniang, this did not prevent outsiders from making inquiries.
Why does a low-level military attache frequently visit the house of a civil servant?
It was because of the ruthless expulsion of the servant girl that the Chen family's suspicions were appeased. I thought that the matter would just go away, but I didn't expect that this woman would appear suddenly and silently!
"It's really ungrateful. As the saying goes, a nephew dog, a nephew dog, eats it and then runs away. It's true. I don't think about whose family I relied on to live a stable life until now." Mr. Zhou became more and more angry as he spoke, "No one has educated him.
Child!"
Mr. Zhou was furious and was about to get up and go to the Chen family to teach this unfilial daughter a lesson, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou.
"Master, that's a fool. He can't say anything about anything. If he makes trouble in front of the Chen family, he'll be in trouble." She advised.
"Isn't it torn yet?" Mr. Zhou trembled angrily.
"There is room for change after all." Mrs. Zhou said, "Anyway, the Chen family also knows that this girl is not close to us. When she came to the capital, she just cured Mrs. Chen, so it makes sense to have a house close to her."
Master Zhou gritted his teeth.
"Then, we'll just watch her move in?" he asked.
"Just move in and invite us back." Mrs. Zhou said.
Master Zhou sneered.
"So, I still have to endure being stepped on by this bitch in public, and then try to please her with a smile on my face?" He yelled, "Who is she? Why did she do this! She forgot about her body
Is half of the blood from the Zhou family?"
When Liu Lang outside the door heard this, he suddenly unclenched his clenched fists, turned around and walked away.
The snow started falling in the middle of the night, and by dawn there was already a thick layer on the ground.
"It's winter, and there's a lot of snow in the capital." The maid said, looking at the packed baggage.
In other words, there was only one baggage, which contained a few clothes made by Cheng Jiaoniang herself and things for combing her hair.
The clothes given by the Zhou family's wife have been given to the Chen family's girls by the maid.
Just like when I came, there was still a simple baggage accompanying me.
Real estate in Beijing is expensive, and the medical fee paid by the Chen family is equivalent to a new home.
Even though he said this, everyone knew in their hearts that this was a half-buy, half-giveaway deal from the Chen family.
So it seems that they came in vain and left in vain.
"I'm going to see if the carriage is ready," the maid said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and looked at the flying snow outside the window.
The maid held an umbrella and went out all the way, and saw Brother Jin running over.
"Brother Jin," she shouted hurriedly, "you go over there to clean up the new house first."
Brother Jin's leg injury has healed, and he nodded after hearing this.
"I'm just about to go by car," he said, pointing to a small donkey cart.
"Go and heat up the earth dragon." The maid asked, "Heat some water. It doesn't matter if you can't sweep away the snow."
"Don't worry, sister, we'll go together. We'll naturally pack up before leaving." said the two boys driving the carriage.
The maid smiled and thanked her, and went to see the carriage prepared for Cheng Jiaoniang.
This is the carriage used by Mrs. Chen for daily travel, and it has been rearranged according to the instructions of the maid.
After checking again and again, the maid could go back to invite Cheng Jiaoniang with confidence.
"Madam, please." The maid outside the door came over holding an umbrella and said respectfully.
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her hand to put on her hood.
Chen Shao, his wife and his whole family came to see him off. The old man was ill and could not go out due to the cold weather, so he said goodbye in advance yesterday.
"Since I'm still in the capital, I'll see you again when I'm better." He said cheerfully, "I won't stick to today."
When the woman appeared, she lived up to everyone's expectations. She wore a thin snowy green umbrella and a dark cloak. As she moved around, the deep robe and big sleeves were revealed, directly covering up other colors around her.
"I also want to make a dress like this." A woman murmured, staring closely at the approaching woman, trying to remember every detail.
In a daze, everyone stepped outside.
"Sister." Chen Danniang ran over to the crowd, pulled Cheng Jiaoniang, raised her head and asked eagerly, "Can I go play with you?"
"Okay." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
In the past few days at Chen's house, they had a great time chatting with each other.
It's probably because of old acquaintances.
Several young women nearby looked on with a little envy.
Although they were obviously the same age, this woman made them feel timid. Although they had swam together once, they still didn't dare and didn't know how to come forward to talk. In the end, there was no more interaction.
The carriage stopped outside the second door, and Mrs. Chen personally watched her get into the carriage.
"Everything is packed over there. Go and take a look. Tell me if there's anything missing." She said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and thanked her, then sat in the car without saying another word.
The car curtains were lowered, finally blocking the view, and a low sigh of regret seemed to be heard from the scene.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Mr. Chen was waiting for the man to see him off, while everyone else stayed to watch.
"I wonder how old Mrs. Cheng is? Is she married?" Mr. Chen Si's wife suddenly murmured.
"You are still young, but you have reached the age to propose marriage." Mrs. Chen said, because she deliberately inquired, and she knew the other person best compared to Cheng Jiaoniang. "I was ill first, and then I got better. I probably didn't propose marriage."
..."
Before they even said they were kissing each other, these words made everyone present stunned for a moment, and then their hearts warmed up.
The young women were too busy to avoid listening. Although the boys pretended to tilt their heads, they couldn't help but listen.
"Sister-in-law, how about..." Mr. Chen Si's wife's eyes lit up and she hurriedly walked over a few steps and started talking.
Before he finished speaking, a servant girl and a boy came running from outside.
"Sorry, Mrs. Cheng's car was stopped."
What?
Everyone was shocked, how could they be stopped? Who dared to stop a car in front of Chen's house?
"Absurd, who are you?" Chen Shao walked down quickly and shouted in a deep voice.
On the road in front of the door, a young man stood with his head raised and his arms folded, with a sword at his waist.
"I am Liulang of the Zhou family." He said loudly.
Zhou family?
Chen Shao hurriedly raised his hand to stop the servants who were rushing over behind him, ready to teach this madman a lesson.
"You?" He frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Chen, come pick up my sister-in-law." Zhou Lang said.
After saying that, he stepped forward, sat on the cart with his hands, kicked the driver away, picked up the sword and slapped the horse hard on the buttocks.
The horse neighed and galloped with its hooves raised.
