Chapter 149 Good News

Seeing him leaving angrily, both mothers smiled triumphantly, and Sister Lian even praised: "Mother, your move is really good. If my cousin goes away, those who look down on us in the kitchen will suffer." Yes, just to give us a bad breath."

Lu Ting snorted coldly, "This matter will soon reach the ears of Liu Qingcui, she must be furious, this is just right, the angrier she is, the less she will treat your uncle well, then I will Use some tricks, and your uncle will naturally know who it is."

"Mother is so smart." Both mother and daughter cheered up, and felt that it was worth the hunger to see a good show.

As soon as Su Wenshan went, he naturally cleaned up the cooks in the kitchen. Before the cooks reported the matter to Mrs. Liu, Su Wenshan went to find it himself.Mrs. Liu was sitting there waiting for Su Wenshan to come back for dinner. Seeing that the food was getting cold, Mrs. Liu asked the wisteria to warm it up and brought it back to the stove for preparation.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Mrs. Liu was in a hurry, and was telling Wisteria to ask about it when Su Wenshan came back.His body was covered with snowflakes, so Liu Shi took the cloth towel from Wisteria's hand to help him clean the snow off his body, unexpectedly Su Wenshan had a serious face, Liu Shi looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Is it because you are unhappy in the restaurant today?"

Su Wenshan didn't speak, just walked over and sat down by the stove with a worried expression.

Seeing this, Liu asked Wisteria to go down first, then walked across to him with a smile and gave him a nudge, "What's wrong with you? Just tell me if you have something to do, what does this mean?"

"Did you ask the kitchen to deliver meals to Sister Ting's mother and daughter late? Do you know that the food they eat is cold, so what's so great about eating cold food in such a cold day!" Su Wenshan was in the kitchen just now I got angry, and now the anger is still there, seeing Liu Shi, I still can't help but say it again.

Is this the thing?Liu Shi didn't pay any attention to what he said, just sneered and sat down to drink tea, "Is it your sister Ting who came to you to complain?"

"It's not her fault, I discovered it myself."

"How did you find out?" Mrs. Liu stared at him with a sneer, "You went to the guest house to see their mother and daughter? Oh, yes, that's what you should have done. She asked you to inquire about her husband's whereabouts, but you came I haven't found out now, so why don't you tell them? Tell them, let them stay for a while longer, be down-to-earth, and treat this place as their own home, right? Do you still want to call that Sister Lian Do you treat her as a decent girl in our family? Even surpass Jiner? Is it possible that you still want to raise her son as the eldest son? In the future, we will hand over all the family business we have worked hard for Someone?"

Su Wenshan was angry and embarrassed when she said these words, she didn't know what to do, so she could only bite the bullet and explain: "Of course it's not like this, why do you always think of me so much?" , I just feel sorry for their mothers, look at you, it's always better to think about it."

"It's just pity and sympathy? This is the best, and it's best not to have other thoughts." Liu put down the teacup with the double fish playing in the water, and tapped the smooth table with his fingers one after another, "If you If you still believe me, I will tell you that what you just said about the incident in the kitchen is not what I meant. I don’t need to be as knowledgeable as they are, and use such contemptuous means to harm people. It’s the kitchen’s business that the food is cold Tomorrow, I will remind them that they would rather neglect the young masters and girls than the distinguished guests!" The last two words were almost gritted teeth, Liu Shi has a hot temper, and can bear it until now It's not easy not to get angry.

"Qingcui, of course I believe in you. I was too excited just now, so don't be angry." Su Wenshan knew that he was thinking wrong, so he quickly apologized, "Good Qingcui, don't get angry, I won't care about customers anymore. There is something about the courtyard, I will get people to go to the government prison to inquire as soon as I get up early tomorrow, and if I have any news, I will tell them quickly..."

Mrs. Liu interrupted him abruptly, "You are already very busy on weekdays, so you don't need to worry about this matter. I'll ask Jin'er to find her elder brother-in-law. The news from him is reliable, and when I have it Believe me and ask Jin'er to tell them that you will walk around the guest house from now on, do you hear me? If you let me know where you are going again, Su Wenshan, our lives will not pass!"

Liu's words were out of anger, and most of them were anger, but Su Wenshan did not dare to doubt the authenticity of these words. Based on what he had known her for so many years, it was not impossible for her to do this. She has a bad temper and a strong temper, Shuang girl will let her go, if she gets angry with her because of this, the children will look down upon her when they find out.Su Wenshan understood this, so he firmly remembered what Liu said.

The next day, what Lu Ting and her daughter were looking forward to did not happen, which made them very disappointed.Su Wenshan also avoided them because of Liu's warning, even if he was blocked, he would bring several servants with him, so that they would never have the chance to meet him alone.The mother and daughter seemed to be in a desperate situation again, but Su Jin's words dealt them a heavy blow.

Su Jin was in a good mood that day, because the mansion was really not very peaceful recently, which made her unable to sleep well, and she had to worry about her parents.But today she is in a good mood, because Han Chen told her a pleasant news, the salesman Li Er is not dead, but sent to work in the coal mine, alas, this person is not dead, Lu Naturally, Ting can't remarry. If she wants to reconcile, but she can't see anyone, it's not like she's going to drag her to death!

She hummed a tune and entered the guest house, only to see that Sister Lian was losing her temper, and the little maid who served her was scolded, "You little bitch, you ruined my clothes, you know How much are my clothes worth? You..." The voice stopped abruptly when he saw Su Jin.

Su Jin wrapped her arms around her shoulders and looked at her leisurely, "Why don't you say it? I want to see what kind of clothes are so precious and worthy of your scolding."

The maids of the Su family are living a comfortable life, and the first time such a master comes, she can't stand it. No, when she sees her decent girl, she hurriedly complains, "Third girl, the servant didn't show the table The girl's clothes were washed torn, and there was a hole when she washed the clothes for me. At that time, the servant was still thinking, how can the cousin still wear such shabby clothes, third girl, you have to make the decision for the servant!"

"Really?" Su Jin walked over to look at the clothes in Sister Lian's hand, but Sister Lian was pulling her hand vigorously and would not let go, so she had to persuade: "My cousin won't let go, so how should I judge this matter?" , You have to read it to know how bad it is! Cousin is like this, is it really what Hong Yun said?"

In order to prove her innocence, Sister Lian hurriedly let go of her clothes, but looked at Su Jin with a little trepidation.Su Jin took the clothes and took a look, then tilted her head to look at Sister Lian, held the clothes in her hand, turned to face Hong Yun, Hong Yun asked impatiently: "Miss San, didn't the servant say That's right, the clothes are obviously torn, servant girl..."

"Shut up!" Su Jin sternly stopped, "No matter how rotten the clothes are, it doesn't matter how much the cousin said to you? You are a maid who can't even bully the relatives of the master's family?" After finishing speaking, she looked at the little girl. He, "Bring her down and deal with it according to the family law, and tell all the maids and servants in our mansion to abide by the rules that should be followed, and don't let you be lawless just because the masters are generous!"

Xiao He was very surprised, the maids in the mansion have always been like this, so what's wrong with the girl?Liu Li who was standing beside her nodded in agreement. She also felt that the mansion was too chaotic when she came here, and the servants didn't have the consciousness of being servants, and they messed up with the masters, which was a bit too shameful .

Turning around, Su Jin looked directly at Sister Lian, "Cousin, don't blame me, the servants in the mansion are too rude, since your clothes are rotten, let Liuli take you to the warehouse to pick two horses." Cloth is used to make clothes, and the fabrics in the warehouse are all new high-quality materials from our silk shop, which are the most fashionable patterns at the moment. My cousin picked two pieces, and I also picked two pieces for my cousin. It’s a joke for outsiders that we haven’t even made new clothes when we’ve lived here for so many days.”

Seeing the Su family like this, Sister Lian was a little apprehensive. Although she didn't have much contact with this cousin in front of her, the cunning in her eyes could not be faked, so she didn't dare to be careless, but she didn't know How should I interface, I had to look at her silently.

Su Jin saw vigilance from her gaze, so she shrugged her shoulders with a smile, "It seems that my cousin doesn't want to make new clothes, so that's all."

"do not……"

Finally can't help but want to talk?Su Jin secretly smiled smugly, and after turning around, she regained her calm face, but she didn't say anything about the clothes, she just said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell my cousin something, originally I wanted to tell you It’s the same for my cousin, since she’s not here, it’s the same to tell my cousin.” After he finished speaking, he raised a smile and said, “Speaking of which, this is still good news, cousin, there is news about your father.”

Sister Lian was taken aback by the news. She didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Before she could react, her mouth had already betrayed her heart. She blurted out, "Where is my father?"

"He was fined to work in a mine because of a crime. He has to work for 20 years. Now five years have passed, and there are still 15 years left. In fact, 15 years have passed quickly. Anyway, you and you Mother, your brother always has something to look forward to, doesn't he?" In fact, Sister Lian and her family are also very pitiful, but being pitiful does not mean that they can destroy other people's happiness to satisfy their own happiness, which is shameful.

Upon hearing this, Sister Lian's face turned pale, and she fell down on the chair in a state of weakness.Seeing her like this, Su Jin sneered and shook her head, shouldn't she be happy to hear that her father is still alive?She clearly still cared about her father just now, but when she heard that he was assigned to work in the mine, it was too realistic. She didn't like this kind of person very much. He even ignored family affection for the sake of profit. Such people do not deserve sympathy.

She turned around and left the guest house, Liuli followed, "Miss, can you still make the clothes of Cousin?"

Su Jin didn't turn her head back, "Since she likes it, I'll make it for her, and see if she sleeps comfortably in the new clothes."

Soon, Su Wenshan also found out about this. In his opinion, although this is not particularly good news, it can be regarded as a comfort for his sister Ting, so after saying hello to Mrs. Liu, he went to the guest house, I thought that Lu Ting should be happy, but when she saw the two of them standing together and crying, her son stood aside and yelled: "What's wrong with you? Isn't it a good thing that Dad is still alive? Why are you crying? ? Don’t you all want Dad to live?”

Lu Ting shook her head when she heard the words, and didn't speak, but kept crying with the handkerchief covering her mouth.Sister Lian looked up and saw her brother who didn't know anything, and said angrily: "If Dad lives well, even if he lives like our family used to be, that's good news. It will take 15 years to come back, even if we wait for him, how will we live these years? Besides, my mother and I don’t want to live the poor life before, and we are no worse than others, why can’t we live a good life like them! I don't agree!"

"Eldest sister, you can't change this matter if you refuse to accept it. Who made you born in our family and be our father's daughter?" Lu Ting's chubby son shook his head fiercely, "It's wrong for you to think so..."

"What's wrong?" Sister Lian cried and interrupted him, "You don't know anything! If the father is gone, the mother can remarry and be an aunt to the eldest cousin, and we can live here Go down, or you will be kicked out!"

The little fat man didn't understand, "Why do you want to be my uncle's aunt? My mother is not my uncle's aunt now, so don't we live here properly now?"

Sister Lian's face turned pale with anger, "Don't dream, we are just relatives of the Su family, how long can we stay here? Sooner or later we have to leave, but mother became the aunt of this mansion, and even Madam, it will be different after that. We are the masters of the Su family, and you are the eldest son of the Su family. Do you understand what this means? It means that in the future, we can use our clothes, hands, food, and mouths, and we can have whatever we want , you have everything that Brother Shuo has, and I will not lack anything that Su Jin has!"

Hearing this, the little fat man was speechless, just glanced at his mother and eldest sister, turned around and entered the room.Su Wenshan heard it from outside, stepped in and retreated, stood outside and sighed, when did Tingmei become like this?Oh, no, she has always been like this. When she was young, she betrayed me for money, and now she wants to betray her husband for money. Tingmei, Tingmei, you are so confused!

Su Wenshan walked back to the main courtyard with heavy steps. Mrs. Liu was listening to Guan Wen's report. Seeing him like this, he waved his hand to let Guan Wen go down first, and then followed him into the room. Seeing him fall down on the bed, he was curious Asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

But he didn't answer, Liu Shi asked anxiously, so he said this: "You can handle the matter of Tingmei yourself, but don't treat their orphans and widows too badly." Only this sentence, Liu Shi If you ask him again, he won't say it again.

Mrs. Liu was surprised. She didn't know what was wrong with him, but Mrs. Liu couldn't be happier that he could say this. After thinking about it, she asked someone to call the third girl, and the mother and daughter discussed it. After a while, they decided to give Lu Ting 300 taels of silver to let them leave. The sooner they leave, the better, fearing that if they drag on, there will be trouble again.

Mrs. Liu went to the guest courtyard in person, and Lu Ting's mother and daughter had already returned to normal, sitting quietly in the yard doing embroidery.Seeing the Liu mother and daughter standing up with a smile, Lu Ting stepped forward and said, "My cousin is here." Sister Lian was also very polite, smiling like a flower, and she couldn't see the malicious thoughts hidden behind her at all. , "My aunt."

Mrs. Liu was also smiling, since they were leaving anyway, why bother to care about every detail, wouldn't that seem too petty? "Cousin, Sister Lian, your skills are pretty good. Seeing how well you embroider, you can definitely support your family with this!"

Lu Ting was stunned for a moment, and smiled gently, "It's just some rough craftsmanship, how can it be on the stage, let alone raising children."

"Some craftsmanship is better than no craftsmanship. Back then, our family relied on the children's father to sell steamed stuffed buns for a living. Now that I think about it, we had a good time." Liu said with emotion.

"You still have the child's father to rely on, what about me?" Lu Ting smiled wryly, "Big cousin is someone you can rely on, but I didn't cherish it well at the time, if I..."

"If you cherish it, now the wife of the Su family is not my Liu Qingcui, is it?" Liu said, "It's a pity, you missed it at that time, and since you have missed it, you can never go back My head is over, cousin, some things are in the past, so why bother to be persistent?"

What does this mean? Lu Ting doesn't understand, but she doesn't want to understand, so she can only pretend to be stupid, "My cousin knows a lot, like me, she doesn't know a single word, so it's no wonder my cousin looks down on me now."

This word?Mrs. Liu was a little displeased. What do you mean? Could it be that you think that you, the head of the family, can look up to you because you know how to read and write?After thinking about it, Liu Shi smiled, "It's so boring to say this now, cousin, I think you should know about Sister Lian's father? I discussed it with our head, since Sister Lian's father is still alive It will be inconvenient for you to live in our house again, here, there are 300 taels of silver and a few new clothes, you can take it and find a house to live in, it is completely enough..."

"Auntie, are you telling me to drive us away?" Sister Lian burst into tears immediately, "Poor us orphans and widows who have no home and nowhere to go, and relatives won't let us live. Where can we go? ?”

Sister Lian did this on purpose, and Liu Shi is not afraid, she has never seen such a big storm at her age, but what can be terrible about a child's tricks, she immediately put on a straight face pretending to be angry, "Look You child said, I am not thinking about the reputation of your mothers. If you live here for a while, people will know that you are here to live with relatives. It would be bad to let your father know, not to mention that you have reached the age of talking about marriage, and you have been living in a relative's house for a long time. What will others say? You are a heartless child, but you can't be too careless , you still have to think about everything for yourself.”
