Chapter 56 Rumors(1/2)
Not getting married?
What’s the use of a woman if she doesn’t marry?
Mr. Zhou stared.
The Zhou family doesn't want useless people.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and held the wine glass to him.
"How can a good family be found for someone like her?" she said. "She lost her mother and has been stupid for many years. Now she can only cure illnesses with immortality she got from nowhere, but she still looks different from ordinary people."
, who can look after those good people?"
She emphasized the words "good people", and Mr. Zhou understood.
The so-called good family is naturally a family that is useful to the Zhou family.
Mr. Zhou took a sip of wine and said nothing.
"It's better to stay at home. You and I are here, and she is well fed and fed. Even if you and I are gone, the children will treat her as an aunt to support her. Isn't it better than going to someone else's house to suffer?" Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "
Besides, she still has a dowry, wouldn’t she live more comfortably?”
Mr. Zhou suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what it should be." He said, "You are very thoughtful and worthy of being an aunt."
"I'm just speaking honestly." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.
"Come on, madam, I'm lucky enough to serve you husband." Mr. Zhou said with a smile, took the jug, and poured wine for Mrs. Zhou as expected.
Mrs. Zhou picked it up with a smile. In the winter night, the old couple was enjoying themselves indoors.
At three o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Zhou had already changed her clothes and was sitting and drinking tea slowly.
"Mom, I won't sit in the same car with her anyway." A woman said, a little unhappy, "The way she looks makes me uncomfortable."
"Then don't go." Mrs. Zhou said.
"No, Mrs. Qiao is very good at tea art. It's easy to go and see her. I don't want it." The woman said, pulling her mother's sleeve, "Mom, please bring another car and let her sit in it by herself.
It shows even more that we value her."
As she was talking, there were footsteps outside the door. Mrs. Zhou glared at her and motioned for her to sit down, while she also smiled kindly.
It was the servant girl who came in.
"Madam, Mrs. Cheng, she said she won't go." She knelt down and saluted, saying in a trembling voice.
The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly disappeared.
Look, look, she will know! She will know!
Mrs. Zhou once again sat in her niece's hall to invite her to go out with her.
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting down, wanted to stand up and throw away her sleeves.
For an aunt to do this, she is the only one in the world, right?
But she had to grit her teeth and sit still.
"Why don't you go? We have already agreed, how can we break our promise?" she said, looking at the woman in front of her.
The woman in front of me is eating slowly.
What a shame for a woman who is always in the morning and dusk!
"When did I say I was going out?" Cheng Jiaoniang raised her head and asked.
"Didn't you say it yourself to treat people?" Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and said, the smile on her face was a little stiff. If it hadn't been for decades of experience as a wife and mother, she would have been unable to control her temper.
The corners of Cheng Jiaoniang's mouth curved, she lowered her head and took a bite.
"Madam, my wife said she can diagnose illnesses, not go out." The maid at the side said.
"Why are you interrupting when Madam and Madam are talking?" the maid behind Madam Zhou said immediately.
"Mom, don't be anxious, madam, don't be upset, it's just that this little maid doesn't know the rules." The maid said with a smile, "My wife is slow-tongued and can't talk much, so I, the maid, have to speak for my wife."
in this way?
This Cheng Jiaoniang really rarely speaks. It turns out that she can't speak.
So, if there is any fool who suddenly becomes like a normal person, then he is not really a monster.
The maid didn't know what to say, so Mrs. Zhou let out a breath.
"How can you diagnose a disease if you don't go out?" she said softly.
"I don't know, Madam, but my wife has two rules for treating illnesses." The maid said with a smile.
From beginning to end, Cheng Jiaoniang lowered her head to eat, and Mrs. Zhou had to look at this maid.
"The first is not to come to the door for consultation." The maid said, "I just wait for the consultation."
What kind of rules is this!
"Then Mr. Chen's family..." Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but say.
The maid smiled slightly and interrupted her.
"Of course, if it's like Mr. Chen's family, it's a different matter." She said.
Like Mr. Chen’s family?
Mrs. Zhou was stunned.
What do you want her to say? How can she say it?
Are you saying that you are not as good as Chen Xianggong, so you are not qualified to invite me?
She is crazy and still doesn’t want to hang out in the capital!
"Jiaojiao, don't mess around. You didn't make these rules yourself?" She took a deep breath and said.
Cheng Jiaoniang shook her head.
"Since it's been decided, it can't be changed, so how can you break your promise?" she said.
Mrs. Zhou choked again.
"Besides, if you break the rules, I can't stand it," Cheng Jiaoniang said.
If you break the rules, you won’t be able to watch? Is this a threat?
If you don't follow her rules, won't you watch?
Mrs. Zhou looked at the woman in front of her who was still eating calmly, gritted her teeth, stood up and left.
After dinner, it was time for the children of the Zhou family to greet their parents. Zhou Lang came a little late, and when he came in, there was only one sister sitting in the room.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull.
"You too, if you don't want to go, you won't go. Just follow the rules. What's there to be angry about?" Master Zhou said.
Only then did Liu Lang see that Mrs. Zhou's eyes were slightly red.
"Mom, what's the matter?" he asked hurriedly.
"It's okay." Mrs. Zhou forced a smile to comfort her son.
"What else can happen? It's all because of that fool from Jiangzhou." My sister spoke from the side, with a bit of anger, "I blew my big words and good words, turned my back and made my mother a bad person. I'm out today, my mother is so good."
I was immediately ridiculed!"
"Qiniang, shut up." Mrs. Zhou said, "You can go and rest."
"In my opinion, her parents are too used to her!" Zhou Qiniang said, getting up to leave, when she saw Liu Lang again, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "And you!"
Zhou Qiniang left, but Zhou Lang still sat still, looking at his mother and sighing, with a bit of sadness.
"She." He opened his mouth to speak, Master Zhou opened his mouth just in time, and Liu Lang stopped.
"She didn't mean to be ridiculous when she said this." Mr. Zhou said, stroking his beard, "I vaguely heard in the entertainment room these days that she can cure diseases by relying on the magic recipe left by an immortal."
"Father." Saturday Lang couldn't help shouting.
How can you believe such nonsense! It is too false to use it to comfort my mother.
"Maybe he's not an immortal, he should be a wandering Taoist priest or a Sanren or something like that." Mr. Zhou chuckled, with a hint of alcohol on his face.
Unlike his wife who is sneered at by women when she goes out to socialize, men take a long-term view and don't care about the bad moment. Therefore, he is very comfortable outside these days. On the one hand, he has climbed up to people like Chen Xianggong, and on the other hand, he is still at home.
Raise a master who can bring the dead back to life.
"This stupid... My wife's success is mostly due to this expert. It's a pity that she has been stupid for many years and it still doesn't work here." Mr. Zhou pointed at his finger and said with a smile, "So, she can't remember clearly.
, I can’t explain it myself.”
Mrs. Zhou and Liu Lang were a little stunned when they heard this.
"Where did you hear these things?" Mrs. Zhou asked.
The main character of the conversation lives in their house, how come they don't know these things.
To be continued...
