The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2213

[Chapter 2213 Tie Kui Fanwai (137)]

These days when Ma was sick, Niuniu was taking care of her. Mother Hua was very distressed when she watched Niuniu lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On this day, Hua’s mother persuaded for a long time to let Niuniu go to rest. Then, she said to the confused Ma Shi: “Grandma, the uncle obviously regards the Tang family as a treasure. Once you have three long and two shorts, the uncle will definitely straighten the Tang family. Grandma, if you want Tang to be straightened, then the manor will be in the house. There is no place for the eldest young master and the eldest girl to stand.”

After hearing this, Ma finally raised his head.

As long as there is a reaction, Hua’s mother continued: “Grandma, you are the main room. Even if Mrs. Tang is in charge of the house, she has to respectfully perform the concubine ceremony when she sees you.” As long as Mrs. Ma is still alive, Tang Shi will never be able to get past her in this life.

Mother Hua knelt on the ground and said to Mrs. Ma, “Grandma, for the sake of the eldest young master and the eldest girl, you have to live well!” With the attention paid to the young master by Mr. Hou, even if Mrs. Ma died of illness, it would not have much effect on him. But on Niu Niu, the impact is huge. With the character of this child, Ma Shizhen died of illness and she would definitely make a mess. To be rejected by the uncle, it is not her who suffers.

This remark finally touched Ma Shi. Her husband doesn’t want her anymore, but she still has children to take care of.

With the desire to survive, the body will soon improve. Niuniu couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

When Mrs. Tang’s maid heard that Mrs. Ma could get out of bed, she said regretfully, “It’s a pity.” It would be great if Mrs. Ma passed away!

Without any fluctuations on Mrs. Tang’s face, she said, “Da Ming has a law, and a concubine cannot be righteous.” The second room is a concubine, but after all, she is still a concubine. Therefore, she can’t wear bright red clothes in her life. Unless, her children can earn a life for her in the future.

Thinking of this, Mrs Tang couldn’t help but rubbed her lower abdomen: “Don’t say such things in the future. If you want to be content, your life is better now than if you marry a widow in the Xiao family.”

The maid was very sad for Mrs Tang. As far as her girl’s personality and appearance are concerned, it is more than enough to be a good person. As a result, it was a mistake, and a second room was made for someone.

What happened in Tongcheng was reported back to the capital not long after. It’s not that Xiao Shi and Zeng Chenfu are interested in paying attention to Fang Hui’s family, but that the entourage who came back to deliver the good news was drinking with others.

After Zeng Chenfu knew about this, she said to Ning Zhan, “No matter how bad the sister-in-law is, she is also her hair-bearing wife. She is so ill that her daughter doesn’t even look at her begging. Is this too cruel?”

Ning Zhan asked back, “Then what do you mean, at Niuniu’s request, you won’t be ruthless when you go to see the sister-in-law?”

Zeng Chenfu was rarely choked.

Ning Zhan said, “Fu’er, what you sow will reap the fruits. You can’t forget what she has done just because Mrs. Ma is pitiful now. It’s her fault for her to get to this point. Father, he is the most respectful, As long as she is more reliable, the father’s temperament will not let the eldest brother marry the second wife.” It’s not a problem to have a low background, the third grandmother of the uncle’s house in Dingyuan is still a girl from a tenant family. But she married into Dingyuan Uncle’s Mansion and got along well with her in-laws.

Zeng Chenfu said, “I just looked at Brother Zhuang and felt that this child was a little pitiful.”

“In the capital, how many adults leave their children with their grandparents. If you say that, these children are pitiful?” After speaking, Ning Zhan said with a smile: “I think your child is probably a girl. ”

Zeng Chenfu looked suspicious.

Ning Zhan said, “When you were pregnant with Brother Hang, your pregnancy was the same as usual. But after having this child, you became sentimental.”

Under normal circumstances, Zeng Chenfu would never give Tang Shi’s face. But she just did it.

Touching her stomach, Zeng Chenfu said, “If it’s a girl, we have to teach it even more.” The girl can’t be taught well, but her family can tolerate it. But outsiders don’t have such a high tolerance. At that time, the day will be as bitter as soaking in the yellow lotus.

Ning Zhan nodded, and then said, “My elder brother and I have separated, and we don’t care about their family’s affairs.”

“I’ll just say it.”

Ning Zhan smiled and said, “If you really feel sorry for Brother Zhuang, you should pay more attention to him on weekdays.” Ma Shi’s temperament actually harmed her two children.

In the September meeting, Meng Guangwu fell out of the list again. Meng Shangshu had said before that if he failed again, he would have to go back to his hometown, so when he heard that he was dropped, Meng Guangwu fainted.

When he woke up, he saw only Concubine Li Auntie. Meng Guangwu leaned on the head of the bed and asked, “Where’s grandma?”

Concubine Li said softly, “Grandma kept the grandpa for a long time and didn’t eat anything. After a long time of persuasion by the cheap concubine, the grandma went out to eat.”

Meng Guangwu felt a little more at ease.

Seeing Mrs. Chen, Meng Guangwu asked Concubine Li to go down: “I’m not on the list, and it may not be long before I have to go back to my hometown. You can pack up your things to save time.”

Chen said, “When you are healed, we will take the child to beg the old man. I believe that the old man will let us stay.”

“What are you staying for? The old man said that he will not study for me anymore.” Meng Guangwu looked sad when he said this.

Chen Shi also did not want Meng Guangwu to study any more. He was almost 30 years old and had never earned a single penny. The wife and children are all supported by the family, but any man who wants face is embarrassed to continue the test. Of course, even if you want to continue the exam, you must first find a job that can support your family. But looking at Meng Guangwu’s appearance, he didn’t think so.

“The old man won’t let you study, so beg him to find an errand for you in the yamen.”

Meng Guangwu could not bear this face.

Chen said, “Five masters, where is the school in the capital better? Besides, I’m going to send Yan’er to go to women’s school next year.”

Meng Guangwu looked at the calm-faced Chen Shi, and his heart was suddenly shocked: “What if my grandfather doesn’t arrange errands for me, but insists on asking me to go back to my hometown?”

“No. For the sake of Ah Wei’s future, grandfather will definitely let you stay.”

Unfortunately, things backfired. Meng Guangwu and Chen took their children to ask Meng Shangshu, but he did not let him stay.

However, Meng Shangshu told Meng Guangwu that there was a job for him to teach Yu, and that place was more than 300 miles away from their hometown.

For this result, Meng Guangwu was not only not happy, but very sad. This shows that Meng Shangshu had expected that he would not pass the exam, otherwise he would not have missed him early.

Chen Shi also had a heavy face.

Back in the bedroom, Mrs. Chen dismissed all the people who served around him, and then said to Meng Guangwu: “Five masters, I will stay in the capital with my child, so I won’t take office with you.”

Meng Guangwu was so shocked that he never thought that the Chen family would not want to go with him: “Is it for Ah Wei and the others? Or for something else?”

Geng’s original slander cast a heavy shadow on Chen’s, so she couldn’t help thinking about Meng Guangwu’s words.

Chen shi asked with a sullen face: “I don’t know what the fifth master means?”

Meng Guangwu sneered: “Is it really because of the children that you don’t want to take office with me? I think you are reluctant to bear those two shops, right?” Since the shop opened, Chen’s attitude towards him has become more and more indifferent. The relationship between husband and wife is not as good as it used to be.

Seeing that it was not what she thought, Chen’s expression also eased: “I opened the shop for the children. With money on hand, in the future when Ah Wei and the others get married, we can also buy a decent dowry and dowry.”

Meng Guangwu felt very uncomfortable: “So, in your heart, money is more important than my husband?”

Chen Shi didn’t know why Meng Guangwu was competing with her on this matter, but she didn’t say that making money was for the sake of the children and this family, she just said: “Before I opened the shop, Yan’er wanted to eat Baiweizhai’s candied fruit, and she only wanted to make money. You can only eat it if you can go to the third sister-in-law.” Baiweizhai’s candied cakes are very delicious, and the price is naturally not cheap. A box of candied fruit less than half a catty costs five taels of silver. At that time, Chen’s dowry industry only received about 200 taels of interest a year, so he was willing to buy this stuff.

Meng Guangwu understood the meaning of Chen’s words: “I will be an errand in the future, can I make money to support my family?”

Chen made a calculation: “Teach Yu’s annual salary is only 100 taels, plus other miscellaneous items, up to 200 taels. The three brothers and sisters of Ah Wei go to school, and they do not spend less than 100 taels every year. .” When a child is studying, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are a huge expense. In addition, the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the family cost money, so what can two hundred taels of silver be used for? Not to mention, Meng Guangwu still has to support the Geng family.

And the mother and son live in the capital. Except for the cost of the small kitchen, which she pays for herself, the others are all cum out. She can save the annual profits of the two shops.

Knowing that Mrs. Chen did not plan to go to foreign positions with Meng Guangwu, Ruhui said, “The money can be earned gradually in the future, but if there is a problem with the husband and wife, it will not be easy to remedy it in the future.”

Mrs. Chen said, “Sister-in-law three, to me, the future of the child and the shop are more important.” As for Meng Guangwu, it really doesn’t matter to her.

After hearing this, Ruhui knew that the Chen family had not taken Meng Guangwu to heart.

Mrs. Chen changed the subject and said, “Sister-in-law Three, I have some money in my hand, but I don’t know whether to buy a shop or buy a property?” Two shops are enough for her to keep busy, and she can’t open a third one.

Ruhui smiled and said, “This is not something you can buy if you want to.” It’s not that the owner of the family who is in urgent need of money will not sell the property at all. If you want to buy it, it depends on luck.

A few days later, Meng Guangwu took his concubine, Concubine Li, to a foreign post.

Two months later, Mrs. Chen got a message from Concubine Li, saying that Mrs. Geng had passed. As soon as he got there, Geng posed as an old lady.

Knowing that Mr. Geng defected to Meng Guangwu, Mrs. Chen was very glad that he did not follow. It would be shameless to bring the child back to Beijing within two months of going there.

The Chen family did not deliberately conceal the news, and soon everyone in the Meng family knew about it.

Meng Ranxi knew that she was a little annoyed: “The fifth brother is really confused. It’s enough to give her pension money every year, why should she take her to the post? No, I have to tell my grandfather about this.”

As a result, Meng Shangshu didn’t care about it at all: “He wants to be a filial son, let him be!” Meng Guangwu didn’t care about his future, so why bother.

Meng Ranxi sighed and put the matter aside.
