Chapter 228 Gossip
Mrs. Zheng turned pale after scolding, and she said: "There is nothing in Zhuangzi, I don't even have a place to live, and I am imprisoned in name, who can I rely on as a lonely old woman? The moon never dies, so it’s my fate." Although she hated Qiaozhen, she knew in her heart that Qiaozhen did not feel sorry for the Liu family, but the Liu family was sorry for her, but Aunt Yang refused her last way and left her behind. She ran away privately, how could she not hate her, Aunt Yang was responsible for her misery now, otherwise she wouldn't have become a beggar.

"Is he still in prison?" Qiaozhen asked Liu Mingyi. She really didn't know about Liu Mingyi's recent news, and she didn't pay attention. If she hadn't met Zheng Shi today, she would have forgotten about him.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Qiaozhen, shook her head sadly, but said nothing.

Not in prison?Qiaozhen frowned, was he released?Who helped him?How could he not show up and let his old mother beg for a wife on the street.

"Since you don't want that pastry, I won't force it. I don't think you can eat my food. Although you are pitiful now, I can't sympathize with you. Thinking about it, you also know why. During those three years in the Liu family We all know what kind of life I am living, I am not a saint, I can't repay evil with virtue, so you can eat if you want to eat, and starve if you don't want to eat. Whatever you want. Let's go." Qiaozhen finished speaking Instead of looking at Zheng Shi, he ordered the coachman to drive.

The coachman raised his whip, and the carriage moved slowly.Zheng stared at the back of the carriage without speaking.

Qiaozhen looked back from the car window, Mrs. Zheng was already bent down to pick up pastries on the ground, the old and crooked figure in the cold wind really made people feel sad.

Qiaozhen sighed, she knew it would be like this, the softer she was, the less she wanted it, and she would definitely not listen to her words of persuasion, and would misunderstand what she meant, but if she said that just now, she would definitely pick it up when her carriage moved around. Yes, after all she didn't want to starve to death.

When they arrived at Yu's house, someone went in to report that Qiaozhen went all the way to the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Qin's close mother came out to greet her.

Qiaozhen greeted the old lady, and the old lady waved her hand to let Qiaozhen sit down, and there was no need for politeness between them.

When someone served tea to Qiaozhen, the old lady waved her hand, and all the maids went down, leaving the two of them talking in the room.

After talking about gossiping, Qiaozhen told the old lady about meeting Mrs. Zheng.

"Hey, who is she to blame when she is in such a predicament? If they hadn't treated you like that at the beginning, it wouldn't be like this today. It's all a cycle of cause and effect. You have a kind heart. If you change someone else, don't tell me It would be good if she didn't humiliate her." Mrs. Qin understood Qiaozhen's thoughts.

"When I first came here, I also hated it. I wanted to eat them raw. How could I not hate them like that? You don't know how annoying they are. The Wang family's life is hard. I went to sell raw meat and corn. Then Liu Mingyi said I was ashamed , still beat me, ran to my house to threaten me, and wanted me to make him a baby, phew! I almost killed him in that weather. You see, the scar on my hand is from that time .” Qiaozhen stretched out her finger to show Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin took a look and found that there was indeed a scar. A woman cares about her appearance. If Qiaozhen hadn't been in a hurry at that time, she probably wouldn't have been like this.

"That time when I went to the town to find a doctor for my grandma, I met Mr. Yu. I asked Mr. Yu to find a good doctor. I didn't have any money at that time, so I had to ask for help. In the end, I met her and that aunt, and the two clashed. When I came here, I scolded, the one who scolded was ugly, and even wanted to hit me. At that time, I was also anxious, thinking that I had nothing to do with their family, how could I still be angry with them, so I slapped them several times, and took another Whip them with the horsewhip, and they will be honest." Qiao Zhen said harshly.

Mrs. Qin looked at Qiaozhen and smiled. She heard about this later, and she admired Qiaozhen. She dared to beat her ex-mother-in-law with a horse, something ordinary people couldn't do.

"Until now, I still have the scars left by their family before. Every time I see them, I feel that they deserve to be beaten. And that Liu Mingyi, I really wish that he would be unlucky. The more miserable the merrier, but it has been a long time. I am living a smooth life now, and it seems that those unhappy things have faded away a lot. Seeing her like this now, I really feel a little uncomfortable. Do you think I am looking for abuse on my own?" Qiaozhen looked at Qin in front of her. The old lady had nothing bad to say.

"It doesn't count. If it were me, I guess it would be the same as you. This person is very forgetful. No matter how much hatred, how deep feelings can fade away with time. Now that you are enjoying life and your family is doing well, so the hatred for them will fade away. If you are miserable and your family is also miserable, you will not be in this state of mind. As for their family's retribution, forget it." Mrs. Qin With a sigh, people from that world value equality and are kind-hearted.

"Well, I don't want to. By the way, did Mr. Yu have a letter back? How is he doing in the capital?" Qiaozhen changed the topic and asked Yu Chengfeng. I don't know how his life is going.

"Life in the capital is not easy. A place of right and wrong, a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, it's no wonder it's doing well! But that's his own choice, and we can't interfere with it. I hope he can succeed." Madam Qin understands her grandson's intentions. Thoughts, but she can't stop him, the younger generation's business, let him do it himself.

Qiaozhen didn't say anything, it's not that she didn't understand in her heart, everyone has his own way to walk, the way is chosen by himself, no one can interfere, and he can only bless success.

"By the way, in addition to building a house after the new year and spring, I plan to build a private school in our Zhuangzi and hire a teacher, so that the children of our Zhuangzi don't have to go to other Zhuangzi to study. In addition, I plan to build a big courtyard , to take in those old people who have no one to support them, or orphans without parents, and those who are disabled and have no ability to live. What do you think?" Qiaozhen said his plan.

"Are you going to open a charitable hall? That's good, but what about those people's lives? There must be a lot of things, have you thought about it?" Mrs. Qin knew Qiaozhen's plan for a long time, so she was not surprised , but she finds it not easy.

"I've figured it out. There is a vegetable field in the yard, and the vegetables grown are enough to eat. There is also land in the back, and the food is enough. In addition, I will find a few women in the village to help during the day, take care of the servants, and cook. They go back to their own home at night. Whether it is the elderly or children, they are not completely unable to take care of themselves. Those who can move can also help. As long as they are given a comfortable environment, they can live a life with food and clothing. As long as the children have books, I think this is enough for them.”

Qiaozhen paused here, and said again: "I probably calculated that the next year will not cost much, and the money earned by the earthen kiln is enough. I don't need to worry about the expenses of the Chen family. I can't earn enough money, and I can't save enough. Take Going out can help a lot of people, so why not do it.”

Qiaozhen is telling the truth, she doesn't think about these things when her family's life is bad, but now that life is better, she wants to help some people, she can't take care of far away places, she can only take care of what's in front of her.

"Okay, you are right, the silver is not enough, no matter how much you save, you can share it with you. In this way, I will give you 500 taels of silver a year to use in the charity hall, and I will not spend it. I am old. It's over, but it doesn't matter anymore." Mrs. Qin agreed with Qiao Zhen.

Qiaozhen did not refuse, Mrs. Qin is not short of the 500 taels, she has a lot of money, she also wants to do her best, and she will not refuse her when doing good deeds.

"You have to be prepared, it's not easy at the beginning." Mrs. Qin reminded Qiaozhen kindly.

"I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and doing good deeds is the same. At the beginning, others will definitely be suspicious, and will say that I have ulterior motives. Where I can't do it, others will gossip, and there will be many people waiting to see my jokes. Good deeds will be misunderstood. Is there still a lot of things? But it takes time to see people's hearts. I believe that people will accept it slowly." Qiaozhen doesn't understand this truth.

"As long as you are prepared, by the way, don't leave at noon, we will eat a pot. I have someone make a copper pot, and the ingredients are complete. I will have someone make it later. You can have a good meal with me." Old lady Qin People stay clever and really eat.

"Okay, I'm greedy too. It's comfortable to eat pot today, but I want ice cream. After eating hot pot, eat a bowl of ice cream. It's so refreshing." Because they don't have anyone around them, So Qiaozhen has no scruples in speaking, and she is really greedy.

"Did you do it on purpose? You definitely did it on purpose. Is there anyone who is so gluttonous? It doesn't mean that ice cream can't be made here, but it can be made. Can my old lady's stomach bear it? If you eat it, you will get a stomachache. You are greedy on purpose." I'm so wicked." After listening to Qiaozhen's words, the old lady Qin felt extremely resentful, she also wanted to eat, and wished she could eat as much as she could, but she couldn't.

"Haha, didn't you say that you are not old? You also asked me to call you sister. What can I not eat for my sister? Besides, it's not bad if you don't eat it. It's not a mouthful." Qiao Really smiling from ear to ear, they relax together.

"By the way, there is ice in Yufu in summer, right? Although you can't make ice cream, it's good to make ice bowls. We can eat ice bowls when the time comes." Qiaozhen thought of an idea.

"It's winter now, and it's still early in the summer. Don't you say you're greedy on purpose? Hmph. I'll ignore you. I'll let you drink soup at noon, and I won't give you meat. I'll starve you to death."

The old lady pretended to be angry, and with Qiaozhen, she really felt young, as if she was in her 20s again, and she had never talked to people so relaxedly, if only Qiaozhen could wear it with her, then they would be Girlfriends are now, they can chat together, explore the world together, and write their legends.It's a pity, let me meet her in my later years, but I don't have many years to live.

The old lady often sighed, although she refused to accept her old age, but she is over sixty years old, and there are only a few years left in her life, I hope these few years can be lived more recklessly.
