After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 548 Haste
"What? Go out of the city and live in another village?!"

When Ma learned the news from her granddaughter Haitang, she was shocked: "Well, I didn't hear it from my eldest sister before. When will they leave?"

Haitang told her: "I heard it will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. They don't know when Mrs. Gui will come to kill them, so they want to escape as soon as possible. If it weren't for the fact that there are so many things to pack for the move, my great-uncle would like to leave today. !”

Ma murmured: "He said it lightly. After all, he is just the head of the family who makes decisions. Packing luggage, cleaning the house, arranging itineraries... these trivial matters have nothing to do with him, and they will not tire him. Of course he is He wished he could just walk away. When he got there, there was nothing, there was dust inside and outside the house, and he had no food or drink. He wanted to blame the elder sister for not taking care of things! "

However, when I think about the fact that the owner of the Zhou family's three-bedroom villa has always been diligent and the main house is well maintained all year round, it only needs a simple cleaning before you can move in. The daily supply is not a problem, and I even want my eldest sister's family to move in today. In the past, we would not end up in a situation where we had nothing, so Ma did not complain any more.

She just worried about the eldest sister out of habit: "Well, I guess the eldest sister is busy packing her luggage today and sending people to the other village to ask people to clean the house. She didn't even bother to send a message to me. She should send it tomorrow. Someone will tell me." He frowned again, "I don't know where Jin Lin has gone, and it will take a few days to reach Chang'an. He has been away from home for so long, and even if he comes back, his eyes are dark, so he is called a couple. When you come back, you immediately take care of the housework. Isn’t this an attempt to embarrass the child?”

Haitang lowered her voice and said: "Cousin Yijun said that she was originally worried about cousin Jinlin, but my aunt did not say no in front of my uncle, and instead agreed with his decision. My aunt said that now Zhou Jinpu is here Zhuang Shang kept his filial piety, fearing that he would not be able to come back in three or two years. He had made several big mistakes before, and the elders in the clan despised him. As long as Cousin Jin Lin came back, he would be the younger person in charge of the third house. After appearing in front of others for a long time, even if my great-uncle did not clearly announce the choice of heir, the clan will assume that cousin Jinlin is the future head of the third family. "

It turned out to be Zhou Ma's plan.

Ma immediately stopped complaining: "Sister, I also think about the children. Although Jin Lin is young, he has been practicing in the border town for more than ten years and has always been the master of the family. There is nothing big going on in their family now. It is not difficult for him to think about it. Couple."

However, Madam Gui's side is still a problem. Brothers Zhou Shigong and Zhou Shicheng hid out, but Zhou Jinlin, who stayed to look after the family, might also face Mrs. Gui's wrath. Seeing Mrs. Gui's enthusiasm, even if she knew that Zhou Jinlin was a junior, had no idea about it, and had no benefit from Mrs. Ma, she would not let him go easily.

Ma couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "What the hell is this?! Well, we know that the Wu family is pitiful, and that Mrs. Gui is pitiful, but this person has a wronged person and a creditor, she wants to resent her and turn against the real owner. Is it okay for my son to go? Apart from Madam Ma’s biological children, who among the three members of the Zhou family has not been cheated by her? Her eldest brother-in-law has been cheated by her for most of his life! Now that she is dead, the debt should be eliminated, leaving only one. If Madam Gui wants to hate her daughter who is complicit in the crime, she will vent her anger on someone else. Isn’t this bullying?”

Haitang said: "The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is blocking them. I guess the Zhenguo Duke and his wife will not let Mrs. Gui really make trouble in the third room of the Zhou family. I asked my aunt and uncle to hide out in advance. Isn't it just to suppress this matter?" Go down?"

Ma thought for a while: "Even if you can hide this kind of thing for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime. It's not an option for the Zhenguo Government to stop people blindly. They have to think of an idea to ask Mrs. Gui to let this out. It's better to go out. It's a pity that the Yingchuan Hou Mansion doesn't intend to divorce Zhou Shuyi back to her parents' home, otherwise she would be a ready target." Haitang smiled: "If the Zeng family is willing to keep her, then of course it will be a good thing. Not many people outside know about it. After all, she is the daughter of the Zhou family. If she is abandoned and goes home, the Zhou family’s daughter will not look good. "

In fact, it was because the Yingchuan Hou Mansion was acting kindly that they simply banned Zhou Shuyi. If someone else was more cruel, they would have told her to "die of a sudden illness", which would have been more trouble-free. The Zhou family wouldn't have any objections either. Marquis Yingchuan knew that she had renounced her mother's family, but he was still willing to keep her alive and not let his brothers divorce her, mostly for the sake of his nieces and nephews. This kind of character is rare.

Ma also thought about this and couldn't help but sigh: "Why did Mrs. Ma bother in the first place? If she married her fiancé honestly, even if she acted inappropriately, people would tolerate it. The Zeng family has always behaved like this. She was kind and generous. In the end, she insisted on falling in love with the old barbarian king and ruined her good marriage. She was kicked out of the house by her parents before she died. What a grievance! But she didn’t know that God had been so kind to her in her previous life, and had arranged for her two reliable husbands, and allowed her to be rich and live to this age. No matter how hard you try, it won't end well. It shows that people still have to cherish their blessings!"

Haitang smiled, not wanting to discuss the former "heroine" who was too dead to die anymore. She changed the subject: "Grandma, my aunt is moving to another village this time. I don't know how long she will live there. It's autumn now, and it will be winter in the blink of an eye. Do we want to prepare anything for her? Tomorrow Are you going to see her off or visit the village another day?"

Ma's attention was immediately diverted by her: "That's right. Once she leaves, she won't be able to come back for three to two months. She has to stay until winter, right? It's hard to stay in winter. We've been to the village, but it's not as warm as in the city. I won't see her off tomorrow. They left in such a hurry. She must be very busy. How can she have time to greet the guests another day? It's not too late to go see her when we get down. It's easy to take a car there, and we can stay in the village for one night. The house is so big, and there are plenty of rooms for everyone."

She remembered another thing: "It's just that they left too quickly! These days, I have been discussing with my eldest sister about opening a weaving workshop. This year, we can try the water first and do some lint trading. Let’s find out how to source the goods. I’ve already asked around. There are two lint merchants who are going to ship goods in the near future. One is from Yan’an and the other is from Yulin. They are both acquaintances of the master. As long as they are willing to sell their goods. I'm willing to give you a good price if we take it all in. I'm just planning to discuss with my eldest sister which company to choose. Who knows she's going to leave the city soon? I'll have to discuss it with her later! If everything is not as convenient as it is now, how can this workshop be opened?"

Haitang smiled and said: "Grandma, you originally just wanted to use the name of the third family of the Zhou family to open a workshop. Do you really expect your aunt to help take care of the affairs of the workshop? Now it is no different from before. As long as your aunt and uncle We have discussed it, and I will lend you his name card for your use. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come forward at other times. Anyway, my aunt agreed to pay half of the cost, so it can be regarded as half of the effort. "

Ma murmured: "What does this mean for half the effort? Don't you need to find a place to open a workshop? The weavers also need to worry about the eldest sister, right? Even though they are from Chang'an, they are not as good as the Zhou family. They have people in their hands. These things If the eldest sister refuses to contribute, will she die from exhaustion alone?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was not possible, so she immediately stood up: "I won't bother my eldest sister tomorrow, but I have something important to do today, and I have to discuss it with my eldest sister. I'll go over there right now, and Tangtang will look after the house. , dinner is also left to you!”

Haitang was stunned.
