Chapter 138 Let Me Feel Your Pulse

The two hurried in and saw broken porcelain all over the place.Mrs. Gong was squatting on the ground picking it up in vain, while Mrs. Zheng stood aside with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Gong Shi up. "Ma'am, what are you doing?"

Gong turned her head and saw that it was her, and immediately put on a calm face: "It's nothing, I just accidentally broke a cup."

"If you break a cup, the servant girl will clean it up. Why do you do it yourself? What if you cut your hand?" Mu Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.

"This... isn't it my first time here? It's always bad to break the cup when I come here for the first time. I was in a hurry, so I didn't think too much about it." Gong said with a dry smile.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head speechlessly: "How can it be your turn to do such small things? It's better to wipe your hands quickly! Father said that there are still things at home, so it's time to go back."

"Ah, really? Indeed, we've been here for a long time, and we've already had two cups of tea. It's time to go, time to go." Mrs. Gong responded repeatedly, but turned her eyes towards Mrs. Cui. , looking eagerly, as if looking forward to something.

Mrs. Cui's face was solemn: "My mother-in-law likes this set of tea sets so much, it's a pity to drop one now. Forget it, Dalang's wife, go to the storeroom and take out that set of teacups depicting the spring scenery in February and give it to my mother-in-law! It’s a little reward for them.”

"Mother-in-law, how can you be ashamed?" Gong's eyes sparkled instantly, but his mouth pretended to be reserved.

Madam Cui smiled slightly. "It's just a set of cups. It's nothing. You have given us a great kindness by marrying your daughter who has been pampered for many years into our family. How can a mere set of cups compare to Liu Lang's daughter-in-law?"

"Ma'am, you think too highly of her. Liu Niangzi has been withdrawn since she was a child, and she doesn't like to play with her sisters. For her, I really worry about her. Now that she is married, I am even more so. Worrying about her every night, lest she might not be a good wife and offend my aunts and uncles. In the future, madam, you will discipline her for us more." Gong quickly pretended to be sad and said with a straight face to teach Mu Jiaojiao "Now that you are the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, you can no longer be the same as you were in your mother's family. Remember to be filial to your uncle and aunt, regard your husband as the sky, and you are not allowed to do what you want and never listen to others, understand? If you make a big mistake , Uncle wants to punish you, and our Mu family will not cover it up!"

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao, she still couldn't help feeling distressed - half of her family's wealth!

Mu Jiaojiao was speechless for a long time.

Mrs. Gong probably still doesn't know that Mu You gave them two more shops, right?Otherwise, how could she hold back and pretend to teach her a lesson like this?She's already dying again!

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "My mother-in-law is wrong. Since the six siblings came to our house, they have been filial to their aunts and friendly to their sisters-in-law. We all like her very much. She is sensible and well-behaved. Don't say anything. Auntie, even I am reluctant to let her suffer a little harm, who would be willing to punish her? Although my mother-in-law is doing it for her own good, she shouldn't take things so seriously, our Cui family is a well-behaved family after all."

Gong's face turned red and white after being told.She hastily stopped. "Is that so? That would be the best."

Knowing that Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Cui were both on Mu Jiaojiao's side, she felt uncomfortable, so she quickly said goodbye and said she wanted to leave.

Mrs. Cui left a few words in vain, and then said to Zheng: "I have a bit of a headache now, so I won't send my mother-in-law off. Dalang's daughter-in-law, you and Liulang's daughter-in-law can send my mother-in-law out together!"

"Yes." Zheng replied with a smile, and took Mu Jiaojiao's hand, "Sixth siblings, let's send our mother-in-law out together!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded quickly, but she was thinking in her heart - what did Mrs. Gong do when she arrived to make Mrs. Cui so unhappy that she didn't even get up to send her off?Mrs. Cui is the most polite person.

After the three of them went out, Mrs. Zheng asked someone to fetch the set of tea cups depicting the spring scenery in February, and handed them to Mrs. Gong: "This set of cups was drawn by my Dalang when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. I sent it together with Uncle’s picture of the West Lake and Lotus Pond to have someone burn it. Although it’s worthless, it’s okay to put it at home for a look, and please don’t dislike it with your wife.”

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. The picture drawn by Mr. Zhuangyuan himself, no matter how many people ask for it, how can I dislike it? If I take this set back, I will have to pay for it!" Gong took the teacup happily. In the past, I hugged it in my arms and didn't let it go.

Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled slightly.But Mu Jiaojiao obviously found that her smile was a little stiff.

After sending Mrs. Gong into the car, and watching the car leave the second gate, Mrs. Zheng turned her head and stared deeply at Mu Jiaojiao for a long time before sighing deeply: "Sixth younger siblings, you were really... Hey, it's really not easy."

Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly. "Sister-in-law is not easy today."

"It's no match for you. If my natal family humiliates me in public like this, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed!" Zheng shook her head, then shook her hand again, "Don't take what happened today to your heart. No one in the family knows, you are the most obedient and sensible."

"Thank you sister-in-law, I know." Mu Jiaojiao nodded with a smile.

The two sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law were talking, and then they went back to Mrs. Cui to report.Mrs. Cui also let out a sigh of relief when she learned that Mrs. Gong had left. "The water chestnut cake made in the kitchen today is pretty good. I'll ask someone to deliver a copy to Liulang's wife in a while. Liulang said that you were feeling unwell after seeing the wind last night, so you don't have to get up early to greet me these two days."

This is to appease her!It can be seen that Gong's behavior of asking for the tea set drawn by Mr. Cui Ge in public before was somewhat infuriating.Mrs. Cui would rather fall than give it to her.

However, although she is extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Gong, Mrs. Cui is still very satisfied with her.Therefore, even though she suppressed Gong Shi face to face, she turned around and compensated Mu Jiaojiao, which meant that she and Gong Shi were treated separately.

Mu Jiaojiao knew it well, and quickly saluted to thank her: "My son, thank you for your love, Auntie."

"Okay, I'm fine here, you all go down! I'm tired too, I have to rest." Mrs. Cui rubbed her temples and yawned weakly.

Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu hurriedly said goodbye.

The two said goodbye to Mrs. Gong at the door, and on the way back, Mu Jiaojiao found that Cui Pu was a little downcast.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked softly.

"I just told my mother-in-law the purpose of my father-in-law's visit, and I also handed over the land deed to her." Cui Pu said weakly.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "You should have done this. What about A Niang's reaction?"

"Aniang took the land deed, but the body deed was returned. She said, since my father-in-law handed over the shop to me, I should take care of it. If I make money, I will take the money back and invest in it." The public treasury. If I lose money, I will bear it myself, and she doesn't care."

Same as she thought.Mu Jiaojiao said: "Isn't this good? What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"

"I'm not dissatisfied. It's just... I can't figure it out, father-in-law and mother-in-law, why do they trust me so much all of a sudden? They don't worry if I take care of two such big shops?" To put it bluntly, in fact It was he himself who was worried, lest he was not capable enough and ruined the shop.

"You are such an old man, you should be self-reliant and self-reliant. Dad handed over the shop to you, it was because of his consideration, this little money is nothing to the Mu family. And A Niang just took this opportunity I'll give you practice. If you can grow up because of this, you will have a way in the future. It's better than relying on your family for the rest of your life and receiving that meager monthly money every month. This is a painstaking arrangement for you by Auntie. Just rest assured Just do it boldly. Now that the Mu family and the Cui family are behind it, it will be difficult for you to ruin it even if you want to!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a weak smile.

How could he not understand what she was saying?But Cui Pu still felt a little uneasy.This happiness came so suddenly, and now he still can't believe it is true.

After all, he has been here for more than ten years, and he has already expected that he is a product that cannot be supported by mud, and he should just get by like this for the rest of his life.But now, his father-in-law suddenly gave him such a heavy burden, and even A Niang, who had never cared much about him, gave him absolute confidence.Such a heavy trust suddenly fell from the sky, like a big mountain, which made him extremely excited, but also made him feel a little overwhelmed.

To put it bluntly, he had never done such a thing before, and he didn't know how to do it until now, so he was a little bit uncertain!

But after thinking about it again, he is now the owner of the two shops, and he is so excited that he is gearing up secretly, vowing in his heart that he will do a good job and make everyone who thinks he is a dandy look at him differently !
So in the next few days, Cui Pu devoted himself to studying the way of running the shop, he even forgot to eat, and even forgot to sleep.This appearance of forgetting to eat and sleep made Mu Jiaojiao very speechless.

Then, it came to the day agreed with Guo Jingzhi and Governor Guo.

But on this day, apart from Governor Guo, the boy from that day, a middle-aged man, and an old man with white hair and youthful appearance also came with him.Mu Jiaojiao smelled a faint scent of medicine from him, so she couldn't help but take another look at him.

Unexpectedly, the old man gave her a cold look, let out a cold snort from his nose, and immediately turned away.

Did she offend him?Mu Jiaojiao was puzzled.

But at this time, the middle-aged man took a step forward in the morning, and bowed to Mu Jiaojiao with a big gift: "I'm Guo Ziyi, thank you Mrs. Cui Liushao for saving my father from danger that day. There is no way to repay my kindness." In the future, as long as Mu Niangzi says a word, our Guo family will form a grass-root ring, and we will definitely be Mu Niangzi!"

So he is Guo Ziyi?

Mu Jiaojiao's heart was shocked, she never thought that the person she had been thinking about for a long time would actually meet at this time today.She was greatly surprised, and hastened to return the courtesy.

After his son thanked Mu Jiaojiao on his behalf, Guo Cishi also smiled and said: "Madam Cui Liushao, we are going to the Three Treasures Hall today for nothing. Besides coming to thank you, I also want to ask you, what did you do that day?" What kind of medicine is mine? After I went back, I cut off a small piece and took it internally every day according to your instructions, and I found that the old injury that has tortured me for many years has not recurred! I used some for my child, and the injury on his arm has also improved significantly .Where did you get the magic medicine, is there any more, can you give us some more?"

"The medicine is definitely still there. But like last time, it needs to be exchanged for money." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That's natural, that's natural. We'll take as much of this medicine as you have on hand, Mrs. Mu. You can ask for the price as you wish!" Guo Inspector hurriedly said.

"I really don't have much medicine now. I made those by myself, but I'm not feeling well recently and I can't do it anymore. If you want more, you have to wait for half a month."

"It's still half a month?" Governor Guo was a little disappointed.

The old man who came with him immediately scolded when he heard the words: "Pretending to be hoarding, it's really what women do. This kind of people, I don't bother to be with them!"

It seems that this person has a deep prejudice against her!Mu Jiaojiao walked over slowly. "What's the name of this old man? I don't know what the little girl is doing wrong, please tell me clearly."

"Do you still need me to express it? You know what you do yourself!" The old man said coldly.

Mu Jiaojiao blinked. "Just like just now, I was telling the truth, so why put on a show? I am indeed unwell. I have been resting in bed for the past two days, and I feel better today. I think you are also a doctor, so you should be able to see that I didn't pretend to be sick on purpose. Push three and block four."

Only then did the old man casually cast his eyes on her face.But it was this direct look that made his eyes freeze, and his eyes were filled with shock.

"You... Stretch out your hand, let me feel your pulse!" While speaking, his hand has already started to take the initiative to grab Mu Jiaojiao's hand.
