The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 72
"The old lady is still angry?"

Under the eaves of the simple and elegant building, a middle-aged woman in a light blue chiffon gown softly asked the girl standing quietly in the corridor.

The girl squatted down slightly, with a sad face on her face: "It's not something, since the people who went to Meng's house came back, the old lady has been eating or drinking like this, and we servants feel uncomfortable looking at it." Ma'am, hurry up and think of a way to persuade the old lady!"

The middle-aged woman sighed slightly, and wiped her tears while speaking: "The old lady is distressed, and you all know that there are three brothers in our Su family master, and only the aunt and one daughter. Yes, at the end of the day, the two sons and daughters of the Meng family are the flesh and blood left by the aunt, how could the old lady not feel distressed, thinking earlier, this is always the blood of the Meng family, and those members of the Meng family will definitely protect them That's right, the old lady didn't let us come to the door, because she was afraid that the two children would get close to us, and the old lady of the Meng family would not like it, so she couldn't bear to miss it. It can be considered that the communication between the two prefectures has not been cut off."

While talking, the middle-aged woman shed tears again: "Back then, a gentle and polite woman like the aunt, not to mention the old lady, even us sister-in-laws would feel pain. Looking at Yuechan and her mother Yuechan We are also happy in our hearts if we look alike and have knowledge of books and etiquette, even if we only listen to what people say and don’t look at it, it’s enough.”

When she said these words, the girl also had an indignant expression on her face: "Ma'am, what you said is very true. Where can we find a well-mannered family like our Su family, but the Meng family doesn't know to be scruples at all. It was okay before. Since Meng When the concubine of the family was raised as the main room, after the old lady put the wine on the case, she came back home and was unhappy. Miss Biao is embarrassing."

The more I talked about it, the girl became more and more angry: "The old lady seemed to be distressed when she came back. She only said that the life of Miss Biao was miserable, and that the aunt was not blessed. She also said that she hoped that the old lady of the Meng family could protect Miss Biao. A little bit, but after those boxing gift givers came back and said something like that yesterday, the old lady was completely relieved. If it weren't for the young lady and the young master of the Meng family who are descendants of the Meng family, and have relatives and grandma, the old lady really wanted to take it back. Take care of yourself."

The middle-aged woman didn't blame her when she heard her words, and sighed: "It's also not good for us to be daughter-in-laws. We only gave birth to so many little monkeys, and we didn't have a daughter to make the old lady happy. The old lady naturally feels distressed." Miss Biao, seeing her being wronged makes me feel even worse."

While speaking, she gestured to the girl, stood at the door and said respectfully: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law greets you."

An old voice echoed from inside the room: "Come in!"

The middle-aged woman straightened her clothes, opened the curtain and went in. After entering the door, she turned around the small flower hall and saw the old lady's pale and haggard face. Whatever anger you have, just vent it on your daughters-in-law, don't get angry and ruin your body."

Seeing her daughter-in-law's concerned expression, Mrs. Su became more and more sad. She sat up on the couch, asked the little girl to help her daughter-in-law up, and said softly: "You are all good, filial and sensible, how can I be angry? Well, I just feel sorry for my young grandson..."

As she spoke, the old lady Su burst into tears, as if she was crying for something: "Poor my son, I just let go, leaving this pair of children without support..."

As soon as she cried, everyone in the room began to cry. This middle-aged woman is the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady. She was born in the Mu family in the south of the Yangtze River. She is a rare filial and chaste person. Although the Su family is known as a scholarly family outside, with strict rules and regulations, but when it is only their own family, it is the most lenient.

Mrs. Su is the kindest and kindest person. She treats their daughters-in-law as if they were her own daughters. She never said that she carried people into her son's room like other people's homes. Instead, she made these daughter-in-laws very close to the old lady.

When Mrs. Mu married in, Mrs. Su was still an innocent little girl who was knowledgeable about books and etiquette. In order not to get used to Mrs. Mu, she spent all day talking and laughing with her, and kept saying good things to her elder brother, so that Ms. Mu could not get used to it. She has a good impression of the Su family, and is not jealous of sisters-in-law like other people's families.

Later when Mrs. Su got married, Mrs. Mu also carefully prepared the dowry. He heard from her husband that the young master of the Meng family was a good man, and happily sent her sister-in-law to marry. All the maids and concubines in the room felt distressed and sad, but they couldn't say anything.

Later, the Su family used some tricks to send many concubines out, leaving only an honest Aunt Liu, but how did they know that because of childbirth, she had to watch the son of the Meng family carry into the Liu family who was born in a wealthy family? After entering the door, when Mu-shi heard about it, she cried secretly, feeling very upset for Su-shi.

Since Mrs. Su passed away, Mrs. Mu also wanted to see Haoyu and Yuechan more, but the old lady insisted on stopping her, because she was afraid that the Meng family would think that their Su family had something on their minds, and would dislike Haoyu and Yuechan. Okay, so, they had no choice but to endure it and quietly inquired about the situation of the Meng family, fearing that the two children would be wronged.

But in the situation like yesterday, listening to the words of the servants who went to Meng’s house to give the gift, and those unspoken vicious words of Mrs. Liu, not to mention the old lady, even Mrs. Mu almost turned her back in anger. Gritting his teeth, he cursed how could there be such a wicked woman in the world.

Listening to the old lady crying today, Mu's heartache was also brought up, and she shed some tears, only to realize that she came to persuade the old lady, so she had to suppress her pain, and persuaded softly: " The old lady is better not to be sad, their Meng family is a big family, our Su family is not good enough, the Meng family only has a title, and the official position and power of Mr. Meng is not as good as that of our old Su family and the gentlemen. Treating the two children like this is not to have the idea of ​​looking down on our Su family. In this case, why should we save face for them? No matter whether we quarrel with the Meng family or not, the two children will suffer , it’s better to simply make it clear that they are serious, and openly make a fuss at the door, and let people see that the two children are not left alone.”

Although Mrs. Mu is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, when she was a daughter, she was also a rare and straightforward person. These words were bold and tough, which immediately reminded Mrs. Su.

Previously, Mrs. Su only cared about being sad, so she didn't think much about it. Now that she heard Mu's words, she couldn't help but stop crying. It's for the good of the two children, that's why they are worried about the Meng family. Now that their family treats the two children like that, what are they afraid of? I simply don't want my old face, and I will go to the Meng family to make a fuss. I don't believe it Now, the Meng family is the land of tigers and wolves, so they can still eat people."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was thinking about it, Mrs. Mu also heaved a rare sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What you said is that we are all counting on you, old lady, let's have some food first, and go to Meng's house to make troubles." It also needs strength, we'll make trouble with him when we're full and refreshed."

What he said was really imposing, and Mrs. Su also felt a burst of heat in her heart, she nodded with a smile: "Trouble him."

While talking, the old lady asked the girls to get food, thinking that she should eat more, so that she could get enough energy to fight for her grandson.

Seeing that the old lady had gained fighting spirit and energy, Mrs. Mu breathed a sigh of relief, said and smiled as she served the old lady after the meal, and then left.

She just went back to the house here, and seeing that her master came back so early, she hurriedly smiled and greeted Ann, and she wanted to serve Su's eldest son, Su Ren, for dinner.

Where Su Ren could eat, he only cared about whether his old mother was starving, so he asked Mu with a sad face.

Mrs. Mu reported the old lady's situation straightforwardly, and finally said angrily: "The Meng family is deceiving people too much, master, we can't let it go like this. If we show softness, which one can the two children rely on in the future."

The Su family is a scholarly family, and the sons and daughters of the family are all educated and talented. Su Ren is now in charge of the Guozijian sacrificial wine. He is the person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Hearing Mu's words, he beat the table angrily : "How can the Meng family allow the vicious woman to bully the first wife and daughter, it is simply too hateful, they don't think that the younger sister has worked hard for many years and went away at a young age, but they also have to think that the two children are their own flesh and blood , why is it so vicious?"

Seeing that Su Ren was angry, Mrs. Mu hurried over to appease him. After talking a lot, she finally persuaded Su Ren to come down.

Su Ren sat down, took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and then said: "It's better not to let the old lady get involved in this matter. The old lady is old, and I don't know if she will be angry when she comes to their house."

Mrs. Mu nodded and smiled: "Master and I think the same, I just thought, why don't the three of us, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, fight more and more, anyway, we all have husbands and sons, and our family doesn't dislike it. Will he spread the word that we are evil women, as long as the two children are well, it will be better than anything else."

What he said was very reasonable, and Su Ren showed a rare smile, and pulled Mrs Mu over, and said a lot of words of appreciation, even at Mrs Mu's age, he couldn't help but blush.

The husband and wife were talking, and Su Ren suddenly remembered something: "It's fine for you to go and make trouble, but the younger sister's dowry must always be cleared up. Back then, when the younger sister got married, we did our best to help her." The dowry I bought is much richer than other young ladies. After my sister passed away, I don’t know who got the dowry. You just make a fuss and force the Meng family to hand over the dowry. It’s not our Su family. Greed for money, their family is too cold, we have to think more about the two children, the dowry will be divided into two parts, one for Yuechan and one for Haoyu, even if that Liu family has anything in the future, The children can also be counted on.”

Mrs. Mu nodded again and again: "Master was thoughtful at the time, but we are so stupid that we didn't think of this level. It's okay, anyway, it's a trouble, so let's do something for the two children."

After saying this, Su Ren couldn't help laughing, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can discuss it with your two siblings, and I'll visit my mother."
