Chunmei remained silent and did not dare to make a sound. The master's affairs were not something she, a girl, could comment on casually.
"Chunmei, you said that if I had gone along with the third child and not married Chunlan, wouldn't the third child have been able to live like this?" Mrs. Zhou seemed to have a trace of regret in her words.
Chunmei pursed her lips tightly and did not dare to speak. Chunlan was a girl who had followed the third master since she was a child. She grew up with the third master, so the relationship between the two was naturally extraordinary.
When the third master got married, the old lady asked him to marry the young lady of the Wen family that she liked. At that time, the Wen family put forward a condition: before the young lady of the family came in, the third master was not allowed to have a common room in the house.
The Wen family has great wealth. The young lady of the Wen family is still an only daughter. Her father has long promised that she will inherit the family business in the future. Anyone who marries her is equivalent to marrying a golden mountain. Moreover, the young lady of the Wen family has
He is smart, smart, and charming, but he also catches the eye of the old lady.
The old lady agreed to the Wen family's conditions and directly matched Chunlan, the third master's favorite, with a steward in the shop outside. She forced the third master to marry the Wen family's young lady.
The old lady's original intention was for the good of the third master, and she did not ask the third master what he meant. In the old lady's view, the third master is the youngest son and cannot inherit the Zhou family's property. Although he will have a part of the property when he gets married in the future, it will be compared to
Of the two brothers above, the eldest brother is in charge of the family business, and the second brother is an official in the government. Even if he has the old lady to support him privately, he is still not as good as him.
But if you marry a daughter of the Wen family and get the Wen family's property in the future, your life will not be much different than that of your two brothers. The old lady took pains to analyze the pros and cons, persuaded and persuaded, and used various threats, and finally
The third master was forced to nod.
The third master married a daughter-in-law and lived a good life at the beginning. Unfortunately, the Wen family's young lady was the only daughter in the family. She had been pampered since she was a child, but she was used to being domineering. As time went by, she would inevitably have a tough temper.
Ji pointed out angrily. The third master was originally the lifeblood of the old lady, how could he tolerate such a wife? So the two were incompatible, and within a few months they were in trouble, and the whole family was in unrest.
Moreover, the Wen family was quite scheming. Not long after joining the company, she found out about the old story between the third master and Chunlan. He was jealous all day long and even instigated people to spoil Chunlan's husband's job and force him to divorce his wife.
, making Chunlan homeless and almost falling into prostitution. In name, she was still thinking about the third master.
Of course, the third master is not a vegetarian. For his wife to belittle his former favorite, he simply spent a lot of money to buy Chunlan by his side, and bought another house outside to house him. Usually he would not even enter the house.
, only rested at Chunlan's residence, leaving Wen to suffer alone in the Zhou family courtyard.
Of course, Mrs. Zhou tried to mediate the lawsuit between these two people, but they said the public was right, and the mother-in-law was right. It is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs, let alone matters in her son's room! In addition, Old Mrs. Zhou has always felt distressed.
Son, naturally will not bear his son's grievance.
So Wen's anger and resentment naturally had nowhere to put it.
Mrs. Zhou's trip this time should be an opportunity that Wen finally caught.
If she can't deal with her husband, why can't she deal with her mother-in-law who is always on the sidelines?
And in her heart, she believed that the third master acted like this with the tacit approval and connivance of her mother-in-law. In order to force the third master to turn around, she simply became cruel and wanted him to have no support at all, so she simply attacked Mrs. Zhou
.
It's just that the people she sent did everything well and did it very secretly, but she didn't expect that a country girl would suddenly appear and ruin her good deeds!
Naturally, this evil country girl became a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh.
So she made a careful plan to take revenge, and wanted to sell the girl out of the bad breath in her heart.
Who knew that twice in a row, there was still no success!
That girl's luck always seems to be too good! Every time someone from the big house can always help her!
I don’t know if the eldest son was specifically trying to go against her, or if he noticed her actions.
In order to prevent her previous actions from being discovered by the people in the main house, Wen had to stop temporarily.
The wife of the third wife, Wen Shi, is so powerful. How can Chunmei dare to respond to the old lady?
In fact, apart from the eldest wife's Chunxi and the second wife's spring and summer, she is the only eldest girl in the family who is ranked by the word spring. She doesn't want to attract the attention of the third wife at all!
The old lady didn't hear Chunmei's reply and didn't ask any more questions. Naturally, she didn't really want her to answer.
In comparison, Chunmei's silence was exactly what the old lady liked to do. In her words, this was called understanding of propriety.
And like that Chunlan, she just doesn't know how to live or die, and doesn't know how to behave.
The younger son is now living a life of incompatibility with his wife, and the old lady hates Chunlan.
She felt that if Chunlan hadn't been ignorant and nudged her younger son behind his back, the third son and his wife might have been able to turn around.
Regarding the danger she encountered when she went out this time, she firmly believed that it was an accident. She was unwilling and unwilling to delve deeper into it.
She tacitly allowed the third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wen, to secretly inquire about her situation from her, because she felt that this at least showed that Mrs. Wen still pretended to be the third daughter in her heart.
So she chose to turn a blind eye to Huiyu's private dealings with Mr. Wen.
The room gradually became quiet. The old lady's breathing was a little long and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Chunmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Qing, who is far away in Cuizhu Village, is naturally unaware of these turbulent events in the Zhou family.
Of course, if she knew that her impulse to save people would cause her so much trouble, she would definitely save people. However, she would not be polite to accept the reward from the Zhou family.
After all the trouble last night, Zhu Qing slept very deeply.
When she woke up, Mrs. Wang had already cooked the porridge and put it out to cool on the table.
Zhushan smiled and lay beside her head: "Sister, sister, you're awake! Get up quickly and eat boiled eggs! Mom cooked them specially for you!"
After Zhuqing rescued Yuanbao yesterday, she fainted because she was too tired. Wang specially boiled eggs for her today to replenish her body.
Now her body is growing and developing, and her foundation is not very good, so Zhuqing did not politely say to Wang that she would not eat and leave it to her younger brother.
As soon as she turned over and sat up, she pinched Zhushan's nose out of habit and got up. She washed briefly and finished her breakfast.
Before going out, she asked Mr. Wang to take a bamboo basket and put it on her back, planning to pick some herbs on the way back.
Zhuqing went out today, and most of the people in the village saw her smiling, and there were also many people saying hello to her.
Although this has something to do with her friendship with the Zhou family, the ideas of most villagers are more realistic.
Zhuqing rescued Yuanbao yesterday and treated Yuanbao's ear very late at night. It proved that this girl is indeed capable. She only went to Dr. Qian's house for two days and learned so many skills.
In the future, my family will inevitably have headaches and fever, so maybe I can ask her for help.
She learned Dr. Qian's skills. Doctor Qian only paid 20 taels for a consultation. Yesterday, Qingya only received 20 taels from Grandma Yuanbao!
Two taels of silver or twenty coins, which one is worth more? Anyone can settle the account.
Zhuqing was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the villagers. The key was that she was not the original owner and did not know the people in this village. Therefore, when people greeted her, she could only deal with it vaguely.
