from widow to dame

Chapter 24

Obviously, the Wang family could hardly wait for Su Huiniang to go to the Chen Mansion as soon as possible, but she herself was not in a hurry, and kept procrastinating with various excuses. Mr. Di ran to Su Huiniang's side, and his temper became worse every day. If he hadn't asked her for something in his heart, he might have cursed at him.

Finally, half a month later, Su Huiniang decided to go to the town again. When she went, she deliberately passed by the gate of Wang's house. When Wang Erlang saw that he was very moved, he hurriedly called Mrs. Pi to follow, as if he was supervising Su Huiniang.Su Huiniang sneered in her heart and ignored her. The two got into the bullock cart and arrived in Longquan Town after half a day.

Along the way, Mrs. Pi followed behind, inquiring and inquiring, never leaving Chen's house, and Su Huiniang was so tired of listening.Not long after, the two came to the door of Chen's residence, Su Huiniang went to knock on the door, and a porter came out.

After hearing their intentions, the concierge said: "Our wife, young master, and miss have all gone to Shangjing, but they are not at home at this time."

"Why aren't you at home, you boy, don't fool us!" After hearing this, Mrs. Pi became impatient, and the concierge looked at her impatiently, frowned and said: " Who is fooling you, our young lady is about to get married in two months, and the wife and the young master are going to see off the marriage." Pi's face turned red, and he stepped forward to say something, but Being grabbed by Su Huiniang, the concierge glared at the two of them and slammed the door shut.

"It's all your fault. I've been dawdling for so long. Let's go away. I'll delay my son's important business. I won't beat you to death..." Seeing Mrs. Pi raised her hand and was about to slap her, Su Huiniang sneered inwardly. He said calmly: "Why is Aunt Pi in such a hurry, Mrs. Chen and Young Master Chen are just going to see off their relatives, and they will be back soon. Why... Auntie doesn't need me to talk about it?"

Pi's whole body froze, and after a long while, she glared at Su Huiniang, and put down her hands cursingly.

Su Huiniang knew about Mrs. Chen's absence from the mansion. When she came to deliver the wedding dress that time, it was Chen Ruyue's tone of voice when she was talking to Chen Yu. Su Huiniang remembered it in her heart. Unhurriedly let Mrs. Pi follow over.Calculating the time, it took about four or five months for them to turn around. Since Wang Erlang had this thought in his heart, he would not let Mrs. Pi mess around, and he could calm down a bit.

With Mrs. Pi following, Su Huiniang was not in the mood to go shopping, and the two went straight back to the big willow tree at the gate of the town, waiting for people from the same village to come over. When Su Huiniang came, she brought two egg pancakes from her home. It's a clean place, ready to fill my stomach, but who knows, when Napi saw it, she snatched it with her hands, opened her mouth, and swallowed half of the cake. He spat several times on the remaining pancakes, and then said with a long voice, pretending to be: "Well, Hui Niang, you're a bit hot with baking pancakes!"

Su Huiniang was about to die of nausea, she rolled her eyes, determined not to say a word to this woman in the next time.

The people in the Chen family were not at home, so Wang Erlang had nothing to do no matter how anxious he was, and he had another idea in his mind, he was busy talking all day and didn't know what he was planning, but Su Huiniang didn't care about the family.As the weather got warmer, spring plowing began. Su Hui's family had no land and couldn't produce food, but it was possible to grow some vegetables.When building the fence back then, she purposely made the yard wide and big, just to leave the plot for herself. It took three days for the whole family to plow a dozen ridges of vegetables in the southeast corner of the yard. On the ground, Su Huiniang sprinkled some seasonal vegetable seeds, and those who needed to marry seedlings carefully supported them with wooden sticks. Then Su Huiniang and Lin used wooden boards as a fence to surround this corner. I am afraid that the chickens and ducks raised in the yard will come and harm the vegetable field.

In this way, after working for eight or nine days, there was an extra neat vegetable garden in the yard of Su Hui's mother's house.After finishing these, Su Huiniang calculated the time and took out a piece of fine goose-yellow floral cloth from the bottom of her box, went to the entrance of the village to cut a piece of pork belly, took a hundred eggs, and led Su Wenhe with some reluctance. Diwang Qilang went to the school in the village.

The gentleman in the school is also surnamed Wang, and he is the only scholar in the village. He is already very old, and he can be regarded as the old man in the village. When Su Huiniang was divorced, he wrote the divorce letter.He was obviously satisfied with Su Wen's arrival. After knowing that Su Wen had the qualifications to be a child, he became even more satisfied. However, he was a little indifferent to Wang Qilang. Obviously, the other party's identity was still All those things he had done before made him think in his heart that Wang Qilang was a child with bad blood in his bones.It took Su Huiniang a lot of talking, good words and apologetic jokes, so that he was accepted easily, handed over to Shu Xiu, and the three siblings returned home after they agreed to come to class tomorrow.Not to mention Su Wen who was excited to finally be able to go back to school, Su Huiniang found a free time and specially called Wang Qilang to her room. The child stood there with his head down, gently wiping the floor with his toes .

A good-looking person is to take advantage of it, regardless of the real character inside, just from the appearance, whenever he puts on this appearance, Su Huiniang feels guilty of bullying some weak animal Shaking her head with emotion, she said: "When you come to school, you must listen to your teacher, study hard and get along with his little friends. You are old now, and you can't be like before... Do you understand what I said? "

Wang Qilang nodded his head obediently.

Seeing this, Su Huiniang hesitated for a while and said, "Don't let people bully you. If you encounter injustice, you can go home and tell your sister."

Wang Qilang raised his head, his eyes blinked twice.

"Sister Hui, don't worry, Xiaoqi will be obedient and won't cause trouble for you." The child raised his head, his bun-like face was full of innocent smiles, and Su Huiniang became more uneasy when she saw it for some reason. Sighing slightly, she thought that Su Wen was still there anyway, so she could look at him a bit.

The school in the village only has classes for half a day every day, so there is no need to prepare anything specially for food. Su Huiniang got up early and prepared breakfast for the two of them. She fried a plate of buttered eggs and made a plate of minced meat and cabbage. , the cabbage is grown in Su Huiniang's space, the emerald green ground is fresh and tender, the minced meat is also boiled in high broth, it is very fragrant, put some minced garlic, stir-fry a few times, and it will be ready soon.The main meal was millet porridge and white flour steamed buns. These things had just been prepared, and Mrs. Lin also came in from the yard. Now she is closely following the twenty-odd chickens, and goes to feed them early every day, with special dedication.Not long after, Su Wen and Wang Qilang came over. Su Wen's bags under his eyes were a little heavy, which could be seen because he didn't sleep well last night, but Wang Qilang was the same as before. "Good morning, Sister Hui!" Then came the bowler and chopsticks, very neatly.

After the family finished their breakfast, Su Wen and Wang Qilang went to school. Su Huiniang didn't go to see them off, but Mrs. Lin stood at the gate of the courtyard and wiped her tears with her sleeves.After the two of them left, Su Huiniang started to do housework again. Her main energy is now on the vegetable garden at home. It is not that simple to take care of the land. Weeding and watering are all important. It's not an easy job, every time at this time, she will infinitely miss her portable space, where she only needs to sow the seeds, so there is no need for such trouble.

It's just how to get the vegetables produced in the space to be troublesome. Lin has asked her several times, where did those vegetables come from, and why each one is so juicy.That's why Su Huiniang decided to open a vegetable garden out of a blindfolded idea.Just after serving the land, the third aunt came to talk to Mrs. Lin. Seeing that Su Huiniang was bending over to work in the garden, she couldn't help but smiled and praised, "Huiniang is really capable, what a good word."

"There are some melon seeds at home. If you plant some, you can eat juicy melons and fruits in summer."

"Thank you so much, Auntie!" Su Huiniang thanked her with a smile, wiped the dust off her hands, and welcomed Third Aunt into the house.Mrs. Lin knew her well, so the two went to chat in the house, Su Huiniang fetched a basin of water, put it in the yard, and prepared to wash clothes.

"Sister-in-law, you really gave birth to a good girl!" In the room, the third aunt looked at Su Huiniang who was busy in and out, and said in admiration: "Look, how capable Huiniang is."

"Yeah, it's all thanks to her to support this family." Lin said with a full face of love: "Not only did I feed this old woman, but she also cured her younger brother's illness and now also supports her younger brother to go to school... I have accumulated virtue in my previous life. That's why I got a good girl like Hui Niang."

The third aunt nodded in agreement, then she glanced at Mrs. Lin, and said with some hesitation: "Sister-in-law, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."

"What's wrong with our sisters?"

The third aunt said: "Look, Hui Niang is capable, but she is a woman after all, and Su Wen is not very old. If he wants to live in the house, it will take six or seven or eight years. How can we do it without a strong laborer at home?" .It’s like repairing a roof, digging a field, etc., but no one reaches out.”

"what do you mean?"

"Huiniang is smart, capable, and good at embroidery. Although she is a widow in name, she is still a perfect body. Why don't you find a marriage for her? You can't just watch her be a widow for the rest of her life! "
