Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 129
Rudong sympathized with Sister-in-law Ajuan and her son, and did not dare to imagine who they could be to plot against the girl. However, her idea was always simple: the girl was always smart, so since she was suspicious, there must be a reason for suspicion, so it was better to investigate. It was safer now. Didn't she never think that Ruqiu, who she grew up with, would betray the girl?
Zhiruo smiled secretly, Rudong was such a loyal and simple person, always putting her master's likes, dislikes and thoughts at the forefront.

Mo Wang acted very quickly and sent the news back early on the third day: "Girl, Feng Cheng's name is Cheng Yijuan. She is from Chengjiagou, Qingcheng, Qingzhou. Her son Feng Nianzu is seven years old this year. His nickname is Xiaohu. It is said that Cheng’s husband went to Beijing to take the exam three years ago and died of illness on the way. Cheng lived alone with her children. Last year, there was a drought in their hometown, and the villagers fled to seek a way to survive. She also took Xiaohu north to Luocheng. He went to his cousin, and what happened next was just as Rudong said.

The owner of the tofu shop is Zhang Fugui. He has lived in Quling County for generations and made a living by selling tofu. At the beginning of last year, Zhang Fugui split up his family and bought the small courtyard of Cheng's cousin's house through a tooth shop. My daughter-in-law's son has moved to Fucheng.Girl, there should be no problem with these two families.However, it would be better to ask someone from Shunfeng Escort Agency to help you inquire when heading towards Qingcheng. "

Zhiruo nodded: "Well, when someone goes to Baishui Town, bring a message to Brother Cunren." The orphan and widowed mother are really pitiful. Since they met by chance, she doesn't mind helping as long as there is no doubt.

When Cheng Yijuan and her son were brought to Zhiruo, Zhiruo's intuition told her that there should be no need to check.

As soon as Cheng Yijuan entered the door, she pulled Xiaohu and knelt down: "Xiaohu, please kowtow to Miss Yin. If it weren't for Miss Yin, our mother and son would definitely be gone..." If Xiaohu died, what would be the point of her living?
The mother and son kowtowed three times, and Rudong and Xidiela couldn't hold back. "The lives of our mother and son belong to the girl. We must kowtow these three times no matter what, otherwise God will not tolerate it."

Zhiruo didn't say a word, but quietly observed every expression and movement of the mother and son, especially their eyes, which were the most difficult to deceive.

Cheng Yijuan's face was full of gratitude and excitement, and she was also a little lucky to have survived the disaster.The thin little tiger has a pair of bright and big eyes. He was a little timid at first, but after Zhiruo asked him a few questions with concern, he became more relaxed and answered the questions in a very organized manner.

Cheng Yijuan said eagerly: "Please, girl, please keep us mother and son. I can do needlework and cooking, uh, I can also do farm work. Although Xiaohu is younger, he can help with chores, running errands, doing handwork, etc." Question." Early this morning, she took Xiaohu to order some snacks and ask to see the "young master." Shopkeeper Guo handed her 20 taels of silver, saying that the young master had given it to her, and asked the mother and son to go back to their hometown, or rent a decent room by themselves. With a smaller house, there is no need to stay in the mean Zhang family.She didn't have a cashier, so she just wanted the mother and son to thank the "eldest young master" in person.Shopkeeper Guo thought for a while and asked the carriage to take them here.When she arrived at Meiyuan and saw Rudong dressed in women's clothing, she realized that her benefactor was a girl.

Zhiruo sighed softly: "Sister-in-law Ajuan, shopkeeper Guo and Rudong should have told you that we in Meizhuang only use people who sign death contracts. Xiaohu is already seven or eight years old. If he survives for a few more years, he can help you share the burden." It’s a lot, are you really willing to let him live as a slave for life? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use the 20 taels of silver to return to your hometown or settle down in Luo City or a nearby county?”

Although 20 taels of silver was not too much, the mother and son saved some money, and there was no problem for most of the year, or even a year.Besides, Cheng Yijuan can still find a job, right?With the confidence of 20 taels of silver, the pressure is not that great. You can find a safer job or other livelihood.As far as she knew, if the needlework was better, the basic life of mother and son could be supported by just needlework. If the embroidery skills were excellent, it would be even easier.In two or three years, Xiaohu can also be an apprentice. Wouldn't it be better than becoming a slave?
Cheng Yijuan shook her head and said: "We already owe you a great debt of gratitude to the girl. We can no longer accept your money from the girl. By the way, we used almost one tael of the five taels of silver that the girl gave you last time, and we have to pay back the rest." It belongs to the girl." He said and took out the broken silver wrapped in a cotton handkerchief from his arms. "Miss Yin," Cheng Yijuan kowtowed again, "I know that you are not short of servants, and you may not care about the two or thirty taels of silver, but for me, the girl is the life-savior of our mother and son. This kindness is greater than heaven. , it can’t be calculated with money. Xiaohu will be a slave with me for life. All he loses is his freedom, but he is also an upright man, worthy of heaven, earth and himself. On the contrary, if I just teach him to feel at ease and accept the favor without repaying it, he will accept it in vain. The girl’s money, then what I let my son lose is his conscience and backbone.”

"Sister-in-law Ajuan, have you read a lot of books?" Zhiruo looked a little moved, even a little shocked.Although she had felt that this woman's temperament was not simple before in front of Diandian Xin's door, these words made her feel that she was more than just perseverance.

Cheng Yijuan nodded: "My father was once a Jinshi. Later, because he could not adapt to the official style, he was ostracized everywhere, so he took his mother and us siblings to resign and return to his hometown. He bought dozens of acres of land and rented it out, and started a business in the village. I became a teacher in a private school, and my brother and I also followed him for several years."

"Oh?" Zhiruo asked strangely, "Do you have a younger brother?" Rudong said that Cheng Yijuan's parents were gone, and now Xiaohu only had one relative.

Cheng Yijuan nodded: "Yes, our sister and brother are twins. However, when we were 15 years old, my brother encountered bad guys on the way back to the village from the county school. There is no news at all so far. Everyone said that he must be gone, otherwise It’s not like I haven’t been home for so many years. Since my brother’s accident, my mother became seriously ill and her health deteriorated day by day. She died in less than half a year. My father managed to hold on for more than a year. After I got married, my father also collapsed. ." She didn't know what happened to the sad things that she didn't dare to touch for a long time, but she said it out loud today.Perhaps she was really a lonely and widowed person who had no parents, no younger brother, no husband-in-law, and she almost lost her son just a few days ago.

Zhiruo and others were also filled with emotion. It was not easy for Sister-in-law Ajuan to endure so much pain. Xiaohu was her only support, right?That day when the little tiger was about to die, she tried her best to give her son a good meal. When the little tiger was gone, she would surely fall with him.

"Okay," Zhiruo felt her eyes were a little wet, and quickly changed the subject, "Since you have decided, you can stay, and Aunt Qiang will help you get the marriage contract."

　What a tragedy. I just had diarrhea, but my aunt came again, feeling uncomfortable all over.
