Cheng Jiaoniang lifted up the soap gauze and listened to the faint crying coming from the wind.
"Is anyone crying?" the girl asked from behind, following her to look over.
The courtyard here is located at the northernmost side of the Cheng family. It is located slightly higher. It was originally used for exploration and protection, but it was not needed in the peaceful times.
The two of them listened from a high position, and the sound seemed to come from the east.
"It's from the old lady's place," the girl said.
"The old lady of the Cheng family?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
"Yes, the old lady doesn't care about housework and devotes herself to Buddha. What happened?" the girl said, looking over there.
No matter what happened, it was none of her business. Cheng Jiaoniang lowered her head and took a step forward.
There is only one more lap left, which is enough for five laps today.
But she was wrong, this matter really had something to do with her.
Mrs. Cheng looked at the two crying daughters-in-law in front of her and felt a splitting headache.
"So you are saying that I didn't blame you at the beginning, but the boss wanted to punish you to go to the ancestral hall to think about your mistakes?" she asked, feeling a little confused.
Didn't we just talk about the things that can be done for someone alone but not for others? Why do you bring it up here again?
No, no, it seemed to be about who bought a fan at the earliest? And it seemed to be flowers?
What a mess!
"Shut up!" Mrs. Cheng slapped the prayer beads in her hand heavily on the table and shouted.
Both daughters-in-law kept their mouths shut.
"I understand." Mrs. Cheng said, with a selling face but a strong spirit. She glanced at the two daughters-in-law, "You have a grudge because of that fool."
If you think about it carefully, this is really what happened.
Because that stupid girl made trouble and gave the Zhou family an opportunity to cause trouble, the second daughter-in-law was wronged at that time and was dissatisfied with herself.
Mrs. Cheng nodded.
In fact, that incident was not the earliest. If it weren't for the fact that the elder sister-in-law never mentioned the dowry left by the fool's mother, I wouldn't have felt wronged in vain when the Zhou family was in trouble.
However, in the final analysis, this is still related to fools.
Mrs. Cheng Er also nodded and wiped away her tears.
"What a shame! Just because of this little thing, all of you, who are older than me together, came to me!" Mrs. Cheng snorted, "Boss, wife, you were at fault, why didn't you take the initiative to stand up at that time?
Admit your mistake!”
"Yes, my wife is wrong." Mrs. Cheng leaned over and said.
"Second daughter-in-law, why does his uncle say that you are at fault? It's not that he doesn't know, it's that the Zhou family doesn't know." Mrs. Cheng said, "At that time, it's possible that you have to do it in front of outsiders. You guys should be careful first.
Whose fault is it that you have to blame? You feel aggrieved like this, it is really wrong!"
"Yes, my wife is wrong." Second Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears and leaned over and said.
Mrs. Cheng took out a breath, picked up the sencha and drank it in one gulp.
"The second daughter-in-law has given up on those flowers. These flowers and plants are meant to please people's hearts, regardless of high or low. If they make you happy, they are worth a thousand pieces of gold. If they make you unhappy, they are worthless," she said.
Mrs. Cheng Er responded yes.
"The meals, snacks, melons and fruits provided in each house, don't be so harsh, boss and daughter-in-law. It's human nature to want what you want. As long as you are not extravagant, don't be frugal with food." Mrs. Cheng said.
Mrs. Cheng responded yes.
"Our Cheng family brothers are all in the same family. It's okay for brothers to be outside. It's just that life is a bit more difficult for you daughters-in-law. When your upper and lower teeth still have knocks, women are all very narrow-minded.
I don’t like to say anything, and I have to keep it in my heart. A single word can lead to sworn hatred in the end." Mrs. Cheng said with a solemn expression, "What do you think in your heart now, I don’t need to tell you.
all know."
When she said this, her eyes glanced at the two daughters-in-law who were sitting with their heads bowed.
"Whatever you think in your heart, the other party also knows it. Even if you don't know it today, you will know it in the future. There are no fools in this world. It's just that one knows it early and the other knows it later," she said.
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng lowered their heads and answered yes.
Mrs. Cheng exhaled.
"Also, get that fool out with me as soon as possible," she said.
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were both stunned for a moment and raised their heads.
"Mother, but if someone from the Zhou family asks...?" Mrs. Cheng said.
Mrs. Cheng snorted.
"They won't ask," she said.
"But, I just came here a few days ago to make a fuss over that fool, otherwise my siblings and I wouldn't have had any bad feelings." Mrs. Cheng said.
Mrs. Cheng Er lowered her head.
"Do you think they are making trouble because of that fool?" Mrs. Cheng glared.
Huh? Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were confused. Could it be that they were still making trouble because of that girl?
"They came here just trying to make a fuss, but they just happened to hand over the knife to the fool. It was just for the fool." Old Mrs. Cheng said.
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng looked at each other.
"Why did he take that girl away? Isn't it just to praise the girl's intelligence and make him happy?" Mrs. Cheng said, "You are the only ones who are stupid. If you really do it for that fool, you won't spend even one night here.
Are you going to leave if you don't want to stay? Have you ever asked that fool about his food, clothing, and transportation?"
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were suddenly stunned.
"You don't have confidence in your heart. You are three points shorter first." Old Mrs. Cheng said, "Why are you so unsure? That fool's surname is Cheng! His surname is not Zhou! Is it the turn of our children to have someone with a different surname give guidance? Really?
Give me some advice and let them take it away!"
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng immediately sat upright.
Yes, what are you afraid of? This is their child!
"Such a trouble-making fool, who asked you to stay in the first place!" Mrs. Cheng became angrier as she spoke, "You should have sent me to the Taoist temple when you came back!"
Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng finally came to their senses.
"Because of this fool, the old man died in depression, and the old lady was filled with hatred." Mrs. Cheng said in a low voice.
They had already come out of Mrs. Cheng's place. The two sisters-in-law apologized to each other and their face had returned to their previous state.
Mrs. Cheng second wife supported Mrs. Cheng, and they walked slowly.
"So, the old lady will never give in on the issue of fools." Mrs. Cheng Er nodded.
"Then send her away?" Mrs. Cheng asked, "But if the Zhou family knows about it and comes to question..."
"As the old lady said, they may not really be questioning you because of that fool." Mrs. Cheng Er said, "In this life, people make troubles, firstly, for face, and secondly...
Benefit."
"Face, profit?" Mrs. Cheng asked.
"We've already made a fuss about face, so the next fuss will probably be for profit." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile. The ivory fan in her hand had been replaced by a bamboo fan, and she patted Mrs. Cheng's hand.
, "For example, dowry."
dowry?
Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment.
A maid hurried over and whispered a few words to Mrs. Cheng Er.
"You bitch!" Mrs. Cheng said through gritted teeth. She clenched the fan in her hand and saluted Mrs. Cheng with a smile. "Sister-in-law, I have something to do first."
After saying that, she followed the servant girl and walked away quickly.
Mrs. Cheng was still in a daze where she was.
"Dowry." She repeated, looking at Mrs. Cheng's retreating figure, she finally realized, "Turns out, it's for the dowry!"
She said with a wry smile.
"Banqin, halfqin."
A shout came from somewhere, and Mrs. Cheng was startled.
She remembered this name very clearly.
"Ban Qin?" she asked, "Isn't she the girl who left with the Zhou family?"
"No, madam." A servant girl smiled, "She is the new girl sent to serve the sweet lady. The sweet lady renamed her Banqin."
Mrs. Cheng didn't know what expression to make.
"What a fool." She said.
She took a step forward, and after walking only a few steps, she heard a cry coming from somewhere. The sound was very small and short, as if someone had pressed her down immediately.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Cheng said with a frown.
Several servants hurried away, and when Mrs. Cheng returned to the house and sat down, they came back.
"The second lady wants to sell one of the second master's maids." They whispered.
What does this mean? Madam Cheng, who came here, naturally understood clearly. She waved her hand and stopped asking, and reached out to pinch her forehead.
It was an unprecedented mess, and she just felt extremely tired.
Sure enough, it's either face or money. This person's heart is really shallow. Why haven't I noticed it before?
Speaking of which, it's really thanks to that fool's return.
Who would have thought that a fool could cause so much trouble?
Just like a drop of oil falling into a calm water surface, it becomes insoluble and muddies the entire water surface.
This fool can't stay at home anymore.
