from widow to dame

Chapter 23

Hearing Lin's question with resentment, Wang Sanniang showed an embarrassed expression on her face, she squirmed her mouth and didn't know what to say. Seeing this, Su Huiniang raised her hand and poured her a cup of tea, and said with a light smile : "Mother, I'm a guest from afar, so let's take a breath before we talk about it"

Wang Sanniang hurriedly took a sip of tea to cover up, and then began to ramble, talking about the situation in Xiaowan Village for a while, and some irrelevant topics for a while, but it could be heard that she wanted to inquire about something Su Huiniang's intentions were very obvious. Finally, when she asked about the Chen Mansion in Longquan Town, Su Huiniang felt a sudden realization. She realized almost immediately that it was the Chen Mansion's carriage that brought her back that day that led to today's events.

"Huiniang, I heard from others that the young master of the Chen family personally sent you back that day." Wang Sanniang asked inquiringly, "What is your relationship?"

"What does San Niang mean?" Su Huiniang said with "surprise" on her face: "I, a country girl, and Mr. Chen, one in the sky and the other in the earth, how could they be involved together. As for the reason why they sat in Chen There is a reason why the mansion's carriage came back..." Immediately, he told about making a wedding dress for Chen Ruyue, and after a little inquiring about this matter, he knew it, so there was no need to hide it.

After hearing this, Wang Sanniang said in her heart that it was so. Although she was a little surprised that Su Huiniang had such good embroidery skills, this explanation was more authentic than that Mr. Chen had a crush on her.

"Huiniang, to tell you the truth, I'm here to ask for something!" Although Wang Sanniang also felt bad, she still bite the bullet and said: "Erlang is twenty-four this year, and he has passed several examinations. But they all failed, but he was so focused on this path that no one could persuade him. A few days ago, I heard that you were related to the Chen family, so I wanted you to introduce Mr. Chen to him. He is still a bit talented, the young master will definitely appreciate him when he sees him, as long as he has a little help from Chen Fuken, Erlang's future will be settled..." Wang Sanniang said with a touch of excitement. "Huiniang, no matter what, you were once a member of our old Wang family. If Erlang gets better, you will never forget your kindness. Our Wang family will always be your backer."

Su Huiniang tried her best not to let a "sarcasm" smile flash across her face. She lowered her head and sipped the tea in the cup lightly. Unexpectedly, she didn't refuse immediately. : "Then what kind of place is the Chen Mansion, and what is my status, what kind of words can a woman and Taoist family talk to that Mr. Chen..."

"I know it's a bit difficult to handle, so I'll give it a try." Wang Sanniang said anxiously, "But we really don't have any connections, Hui Niang, please help!"

"Then..." Su Huiniang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll come to the door with the cheek to talk about it, but if it doesn't work, don't blame me."

Wang Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this, and she said good things again and again. She hurried home to report the good news, and after sitting for a while, she left in a hurry.When Su Huiniang, mother and daughter were alone in the room, Lin couldn't help buttocks on the edge of the kang complaining, "You are stupid, the Wang family treated you like that before, why are you rushing to help them now?"

Su Huiniang smiled and said, "Who said I want to help them?"

Lin was puzzled: "But you didn't mean—"

"Just drag them along." The corner of Su Huiniang's mouth curled up into a sneer, "The Wang family will have some scruples if they are false." Well, those who are definitely going to come over there to make trouble might as well agree first, the matter with the Chen family depends entirely on what you say.Moreover, Su Huiniang was also concerned about Wang Qilang, so she had a hunch that if she refused this matter, Mrs. Pi and the others would definitely use this aspect as a raft.

"How is it? Did she agree?" As soon as Wang Sanniang entered the room, Mrs. Pi hurried over and asked.Even Wang Erlang, Wang Wuniang, Tian Shi, etc. also came together in a circle.

"Agreed!" Wang Sanniang said with a sense of relief: "Huiniang is willing to help Erlang talk about it." Immediately, she told about Su Huiniang's wedding dress for the Chen family.After hearing this, Wang Erlang also felt that the Su family should have told the truth, and when he heard that she was willing to introduce him, his heart became hot.

"When will that bitch be able to make wedding dresses?" Tian's eyes rolled around, and he said in a loud voice: "The Chen family is so rich, she must have paid her a lot of wages, tsk tsk, in our house before. I have never seen her doing embroidery work, Wu Niang, it is not the sister-in-law who is talking about you, you have to learn from others, you know how to embroider and embroider in the room all day long, and I have never seen you sell a few papers Money, I can't blame it for fifteen or sixteen, and no one has come to propose a kiss, it's all lazy..."

"Shut up!" Wang Wuniang is not some kind of girl, she blushed immediately, her eyes widened and said angrily: "Don't give me baba, Wuniang, my surname is Wang, this is the Wang family, return the round It’s not like you, surnamed Tian, ​​are making irresponsible remarks here.”

"Oh my God!" Hearing his sister-in-law pointing at her nose and scolding herself, Tian patted her thigh and shouted loudly: "Since I married into your old Wang's family, I have worked hard every day to serve your family. Little, but you’re welcome, don’t treat me like Wang’s family at all, Bao’er, mother will take you to grandma’s house right now, and we won’t serve them any more.” As Tian said, she was about to go out, Wang Sanniang saw her and wanted to He pulled her, but his hand was pulled away, and he went straight back to her room.

"Sister, leave her alone, let her go, and don't come back for the rest of your life if you can!" Wang Wuniang slapped hard towards the door with a pale face.

Compared with his daughter-in-law, Pi, she naturally loves her daughter more, and at this moment, she is standing there swearing about Tian's faults. Who knows, Tian really made up her mind, holding a child in her arms, Carrying a bundle, she walked towards the door like that, and when she reached the door, she turned around and spit twice at Pi Shi and others, and Wang Wuniang fell on her back in anger.

Ever since Su Huiniang was divorced, the work of the entire Wang family has fallen on Tian's body. She is a lazy person. After suffering for such a long time, she can't bear it anymore. She just found an excuse at this time Going back to her natal family to hide and relax, hmph, it will be spring plowing in a few days, and I have to come back after that, Tian thought triumphantly.

Wang Sanniang looked at everything in front of her and sighed softly, she was not in the mood to stay any longer, she just said: "Mother, it's getting late, I'll be back too." Hearing this, Mrs. Pi wanted to keep her daughter at home for dinner.However, Wang Sanniang refused with a sad face. Recently, her life in her husband's house was also very unsatisfactory. Here she is.Wang Sanniang had no choice but to sneak over the only five taels of silver she had on hand. Somehow, her mother-in-law found out about it, saying that she used money from her husband's family to subsidize her mother's family. It made her face a lot, she was upset about this matter!

Regardless of the persuasion of Mrs. Pi and others, Wang Sanniang left in a hurry. Wang Erlang was looking forward to the scene of prosperity and prosperity in the future, and he didn't care about staying here anymore. Well, he was going to think carefully about the invitation to the Chen family. Use the most gorgeous words to show your talents.

"Mother, look at your good daughter-in-law!" The only remaining woman, Wang Wuniang, cried out relentlessly, "My daughter has been scolded like this, why don't you clean her up for me?"

"Okay, okay, mother will clean it up for you, tidy it up for you!" Pi said with a pain in his head, "Actually, what your sister-in-law said is right, you are sixteen this year, so you can't be here waited."

"You are willing to wait as a daughter." Wang Wuniang said weepingly: "It's not because I cast the wrong baby, and the young lady's body is a servant girl. Neither you nor the brothers are willing to plan for me, woo...doesn't the daughter want to marry someone?" Capable people, when the time comes, they will be prosperous, and they can help you in turn." Wang Erlang, who had already walked outside the door, paused when he heard this, and turned his head to look deeply at Wang Sanniang who was crying .The yellow-haired girl in my memory who always has a snotty nose has appeared unconsciously, because Mrs. Pi never let her do rough work. Wang Sanniang is not as thick and dark as most rural girls, but thin-skinned. Tender fleshy, quite fair-looking, plus her facial features are delicate, and she is also slender, crying like this, she really feels a little bit like a jasper.A flash of thought flashed across Wang Erlang's eyes, he really should "make plans" for his sister.

"Where did you catch the rabbit?" Su Huiniang asked in amazement, looking at the half-dead fat gray rabbit with its paws bound.

"On the mountain!" Wang Qilang puffed out his chest proudly: "Sister Hui, I'm going to kill it right away, we'll eat rabbit meat at night."

Su Huiniang didn't have any doubts about this, she nodded and said instructively, "Stay away!"

Knowing that his sister Hui would not be able to see Xue Xing'er, Wang Qilang let out a sigh of relief, and walked outside with his victory in hand. Now it's time to wear warm clothes, and Su Huiniang is no longer holding on to him like he was a while ago.This child is a good hunter, and he can always bring back some pheasants and ducks from the mountains, but it made them pour a lot of tooth sacrifices.

This fat rabbit finally turned into a large plate of delicious food. Su Huiniang cut the meat into pieces, blanched it with water, then put in oil, green onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, stir-fried, seasoned with sugar to remove the fishy smell, and put it on Stew the yam cubes on low heat, wait until the rabbit meat is rotten and fragrant, and put it on a plate. A delicious meal of yam stewed rabbit meat makes Su Su Huiniang and the others so happy to eat. All the depression brought about by this moment also disappeared.

Su Huiniang was very satisfied with this.
