Do you understand what Mrs. Hou meant?

Of course I understand.

It was nothing more than the fact that the Hou family wanted to earn more money and more profits, so they took their children's marriage as a bargaining chip and wanted to make a bigger deal.

But why does she want to understand this?

If you hate the poor and love the rich, just say it if you are greedy, why pretend to be aggrieved and let others understand and sympathize with you?

Pooh!If you want to be a bitch and still want a torii, how can there be so many cheap and good things in the world?

"You...why don't you speak? You understand, don't you?" Mrs. Hou was in a hurry, and she wished that Nianfu would admit it sensibly immediately, so as to make her feel at ease and make her behavior more natural.

Looking at her face, Nianfu felt indescribably disgusted, suddenly he didn't want to talk to her anymore, stood up, smiled lightly, turned around and left.

What does that smile mean?Do you understand and compromise, or do you want to fight her to the end?Mrs. Hou watched Nianfu throw her down and left decisively, but she opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time.

She suddenly became a little scared. If she married such a daughter-in-law, she really couldn't guarantee what kind of life she would live for the rest of her life.

Is she pushing people too hard?Mrs. Hou felt uneasy.Thinking about the look in that little girl's eyes before she left, it was really creepy.

Soon, Hou Xianglin came back.

Seeing her terrified expression, he was puzzled, "Why, someone frightened you?"

She was indeed frightened, Madam Hou didn't care to say more.Grabbing her husband, "Say, why don't we recognize this relative?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! It's been so hard to get into the marriage with the magistrate, and you regret it now, are you afraid that they will strangle us to death?" Hou Xianglin flicked his sleeves and sat across from her.

On the surface, he is the peacemaker in the family, a jack of all trades.It is always best to speak cheerfully.But Mrs. Hou knew that her husband's heart was colder and harder than her own.

But squinting his eyes and thinking about it, Hou Xianglin suddenly smiled, "I never thought that the Mu family's sister would be so beautiful, and she's also smart to look at. If she's willing to be a concubine, it's fine for Yu Er to marry her. Just right Use it to suppress the arrogance of Miss Tong Zhijia. It will save her from acting like an official lady in front of you and me in the future."

He thought it was more beautiful than himself.Madam Hou didn't bother to hit him, she just said, "This is just your wishful thinking, I'm afraid he might not agree."

"It's a joke! The Shi family is so poor, and our family gave up their marriage. What kind of decent family can we marry? It's just being a concubine. I'm flattering her."

Hou Xianglin said disapprovingly, "It's okay if you don't want to. In short, this relative must retire. I have already explained clearly to the old man what should be said. If he is still obsessed with his obsession, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Just now, he had already vomited bitterness to old father Shi, and talked about all kinds of difficulties in business. As long as he is not a fool, he can hear the implication.

It seems that the husband has made up his mind.Mrs. Hou could only say, "Then don't be too shameless. After all, you still have to leave a bit of leeway when doing things."

"You have always been a decisive person, why are you becoming a woman now?"

Madam Hou smiled wryly, "I'm a woman, so what if I have some women's benevolence? I just think that Sister Mu's eyes are too poisonous, and I don't want to push her into a hurry."

"A little girl, what's so poisonous or not? It's really not good. If you get her drunk and send her to Yu'er's room, you don't want to be a concubine." Hou Xianglin said casually, but made Mrs. Hou jump, "Don't mess around, be careful not to cause trouble. Tong Zhi's house is not good-looking either."

"Look, it scares you! So, after all, women can't achieve great things." Hou Xianglin shook his head disdainfully, and suddenly the underground came to report, "Madam, the person you sent to Huai'an Town has returned."

Hou Xianglin asked in surprise, "When did you send someone to Huai'an?"

Mrs. Hou said listlessly, "It's just that I'm afraid something will happen to Yu'er, so let someone follow me to take a look. Now that Yu'er is back, tell him to get a reward and go back to rest."

"But Manager Jin said he has something important to report!"

Hou Xianglin said indifferently, "Then let him in and listen to what he has to say."

Unexpectedly, Guanshi Jin would say mischievously as soon as he came in, "It's amazing! Please tell me, Mrs. Mu, it turns out that Sister Mu got into a lawsuit in Huai'an!"

The expressions of Hou Xianglin and Mrs. Hou changed at the same time, and they looked at each other, "Say!"

■

Nianfu and Father Shi who returned to the guest room looked at each other, and for a while, neither of them spoke.

The little maid who was still serving wanted to rest after get off work, so she timidly stepped forward and asked if she wanted to fetch water to wash up, and that was how she brought back the souls of the grandparent and grandson.

When the little maid fetched hot water, Nian Fu still personally took care of his grandpa to wash up, soaked his feet again to smooth his blood, and then helped his grandpa to lie down, asking the little maid to come in and tidy up.

"Grandpa, how do you know about those dishes if you don't ask me?" Nian Fu asked in a low voice, with a little anxiety in his eyes.

But old man Shi looked at Nianfu's eyes, but showed full pride and trust, "My granddaughter is smart, should I still be suspicious?"

Nianfu suddenly had a sore nose and almost shed tears.

Grabbing the old man's skinny hand and putting it on his face, he felt very ironed in his heart.Although it was unfortunate for her to come here, how lucky must she be to have such good grandparents and a mother who loves her so much?

"Sister Nianfu! Grandpa Shi, have you rested yet?" Suddenly, Hou Fangyu came.

With a full face of apology, he explained in a low voice, "I came here to apologize for my parents, they are not usually like this."

After all, he could see the embarrassment at the dinner table.It was hard to say at the time, but now I have to apologize.

"I know that you are a good boy." Father Shi interrupted him with a smile, "It's late today, so I won't greet you, let your sister Nianfu take you out."

This is not a see-off, but an opportunity for young people to speak.

Hou Fangyu took Nianfu out of the small courtyard, waved his hand to reprimand the servants, and apologized in a low voice, "My parents just couldn't turn their minds around for a while. It will be fine when we get along longer in the future. In fact, they are all very good Really, they all love me very much, they will listen to what I say!"

Seeing him clenched his fists, with a tense and cautious face, Nianfu suddenly smiled softly, "I know, how can there be parents who don't love their children? You are their only son. How could they not love you? "

Hou Fangyu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively, "Then what did my mother tell you to say?"

"It's nothing." Nianfu shook his head, his smile remained the same, "It's just talking about your grandpa's birthday banquet, nothing special."

"Oh. That's it." Hou Fangyu responded, somewhat skeptical.But thinking about it, tomorrow is grandpa's birthday banquet, as long as grandpa announces their marriage at that time, it will be considered a certainty.

Hou Fangyu plucked up his courage again, and held Nianfu's hand, "Sister Nianfu. Can I call you Fumei from now on? Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future. No one will bully you again."

The girl didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Seeing the lingering smile on her face, Hou Fangyu suddenly grinned and burst into a big smile, "Then go back and rest, and I'll watch you go in here."

The girl seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything after all.Just turned around and left.

It wasn't until Hou Fangyu saw that slender figure disappearing through the door with his own eyes that Hou Fangyu strode away.Secretly made up his mind, tomorrow, grandpa must announce their marriage!

After returning to the room, Nian Fuzhong walked to the bedside of his grandfather. The old man was obviously not asleep, but just looked at her with complicated eyes.

After a while, Nianfu patted Grandpa's hand lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm fine. It's late, go to sleep."

Father Shi pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, but he couldn't tell what was mixed in that smile, like a green olive in his mouth, full of mixed flavors.

That night, Father Shi couldn't sleep at all.He believed that the little granddaughter must not have slept well either.Otherwise, I wouldn't wake up early with two dark circles under my eyes.It's just that under their eyes, there is some kind of the same emotion.

"Have you made up your mind?" This is Old Shi asking.

"Think it over." Nianfu simply agreed.

Father Shi laughed again, but compared to last night's smile, the smile at this time was much less worrying and more relieved, "Then hurry up!"

After washing up, the grandpa and grandson regained their refreshment.Before the servants came, Nianfu supported his grandfather and walked out of the courtyard slowly.The early morning mist has not completely dissipated, faintly blurring the backs of the grandfather and grandson.It's just that there is a firmness there, but it is unmistakable.

Hou Fangyu didn't sleep well last night, but it wasn't because he was worried, but because he dreamed about the flowers and candles in his bridal chamber, and he woke up laughing early in the morning with joy.Then he couldn't sleep anymore, and kept watching until the light of day, so he came to ask his lucky girl to kowtow to grandpa for his birthday.

But when I came to this small courtyard to have a look, both my grandfather and grandson were gone.I asked the little maids serving here, but none of them knew.

Hou Fangyu was so angry that he scolded people, "I asked you to serve here, but you don't even know where they went, what a bunch of trash!"

A woman passing by heard it and told him, "I saw someone going to the old man in a daze, do you want many masters to go and look for it?"

Hou Fangyu hurried over, and sure enough, he saw Daddy Shi sitting beside his grandfather's bed. The two old people were chatting about something, and they were smiling happily.

Seeing him coming for a while, with some lingering anger still on his face, Father Shi laughed first, "It's so early in the morning, Brother Yu, what's wrong with you? Today is a good day for your grandpa. Don't lose your temper anyway."

When Hou Fangyu saw him there, his heart was more than half settled immediately.She scratched her head embarrassingly, "I don't know how to do it. Um... Where's Sister Nianfu?"

Father Shi smiled and said, "We came in a hurry, and we didn't have time to prepare any birthday gifts. My old-fashioned face is fine, but your sister Nianfu felt embarrassed and said that she was going to cook something for your grandfather. You go Look in the kitchen next to her, she should be there." He looked at the old man Hou again and said with a smile, "Using things from your house as a birthday gift for you, does that still count?"

"It can be counted! Right, grandpa?" Hou Fangyu rushed to answer first, and then looked at his grandfather with embarrassment.

Old Master Hou laughed and joked, "If I say no, will you agree?"

"Grandpa—" Hou Fangyu blushed, "I'll go to the kitchen to get you some delicious food, wait for me!"

He found an excuse for himself and ran away, completely unaware of the complicated look in his grandfather's eyes when he looked at his back. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
