Chapter 67 Lady Onion

There is a sweeping woman in Madam Tang's yard. She looks simple and honest, and has no name or surname. Everyone randomly named her "Lady Onion" after a long time and got used to calling her.

According to her story, she was a poor person, and her husband died early. Because of her stupidity, her husband's family kept her son and drove her out.She was lonely and helpless, begging along the road, and fainted from hunger in the aisle. She happened to be seen by Tang Anhe who was passing by. See doctor.

After waking up, Lady Onion was very grateful to Tang Anhe. Tang Anhe didn't remember it, so she called someone to bring food. After a full meal, Lady Onion suffered from intestinal discomfort for a long time. Tang Anhe felt guilty , I want to give her some money to make her life better.

Lady Onion refused to take it, knelt on the ground and wept sadly, told her tragic fate, and vowed to repay Tang Anhe's life-saving grace even if she was an ox or a horse. place.

Tang An and Nianqi's fate was rough, and after careful consideration, they brought her back to the Tang family and asked her to be a sweeper in Mrs. Tang's yard.

Mrs. Tang was very angry. She called Tang Anhe into the room and scolded him, saying that he should not always bring messy people home.The second bedroom and the third bedroom were brought back by Tang Anhe because of the so-called miserable fate. They reconciled with Tang An not long after, how could Mrs. Tang not be angry.

Tang Anhe retorted that "saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Mrs. Tang became even more angry, dropped an enamel bowl and shouted, "Just because of your words, I want to give my own daughter to the Lin family. It’s been five years since I went to see her, and I miss her every day, can you imagine the pain of separation?”

After Mrs. Tang made a splash, Tang Anhe replied, "You're just a sweeping woman, what worries do you have?" This calmed Mrs. Tang's heartbroken heart.

For ten years, Lady Onion has been a sweeping woman. She knew that Mrs. Tang had a thorn in her heart, so she tried to avoid Mrs. Tang, and Mrs. Tang didn't do anything to her.

Lady Onion not appearing in front of Mrs. Tang does not mean that she has no intentions. She saw that most of the women and girls who came in together had increased wages. When Qian went back to recognize his son, he began to think about things. After the work was done, he deliberately appeared in other places, pretending to sweep the floor there, occasionally chatting with the girl and woman, and occasionally stuffing a few copper coins and saying that she would buy it for everyone. For food, over time, the servants of the Tang family were willing to get close to her.

After a long time, everyone thought of her meager wages, and they were ashamed to take her money. Instead, they would give her something, and she saved it.When she is free, she will go out and hang around, exchange those things for money, and tell the girls in the house any gossip news she gets. Everyone loves gossip, so everyone likes her even more.

Lady Onion thought she was invisible, but she didn't know that Tang Qinghe had sent a girl to keep an eye on her for a long time.

"Second Miss, Lady Onion has gone out again, I think she's gone to talk to those beggars again!" Tang Qinghe's girl came back.

Lady Onion was a beggar before, and she was squeezed out by beggars, and there were beggars with good intentions who gave her advice. She knew very well that beggars knew many things best.

"This lady onion is really scheming." Tang Qinghe stroked the piano in her hand, "Call her over when she comes back."

"Yes, Second Miss." The girl went out immediately.

Tang Qinghe caressed a ditty, and then stopped. The third aunt came over with food, "Qinghe, don't be tired, mother made some snacks for you."

The third aunt was counting on Tang Qinghe to marry a good family, so she would often visit her daughter and enjoy some blessings along with her.

"Mother, from now on, every time you cook something, give it to Tang Qinglu." Tang Qinghe said flatly, "Didn't you notice? Si Niang has been diligent in going to Tang Qinglu's yard recently. She didn't care about anything in the past, the second room doesn't understand this kind of thinking, can't you figure it out?"

"Qinghe, do you mean that Sifang intends to please Tang Qinglu and share more hospital expenses?" Third Aunt immediately thought of what Aunt Si was thinking.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Tang Qinghe nodded, with strands of hair, and sneered, "Tang our shop has always been operating like that, half-dead, relying on the crops in the mountains to support expenses. Hmph, Tang Qinglu dominates as a daughter-in-law. Home, what can she do? Hehe, Dad has already said that the embroidery shop will be closed after a while. What kind of embroiderer will she hire to bring her back to life? Hiring an embroiderer doesn’t cost money? Misappropriating money to subsidize the gap? If father knows that she spends money indiscriminately, he will definitely remove her as the head of the house."

"Qinghe, the master called her back, but he probably wasn't sure. Think about it, the master just mentioned the two shops and the manager at home to her, but he didn't mention our field. I guess he was afraid that she might not be able to deal with the shop. The source of support for the family has been lost." The third aunt was like a mirror in her heart, but she was puzzled, "Since she can't achieve anything by tossing around there, why should we send her food, and can't go to the master where to report?"

"Mom, you're confused again. Dad hates people who complain the most. We leave this thankless job to the second room. We just watched Tang Qinglu wipe out the store in silence, and then Dad angrily dismissed her as the manager. Status, she went back to Lin’s house crying, so that my dowry would be more.” Tang Qinghe explained, “As for bringing food to her, I mainly see Mrs. Sifang delivering food. You know, Sifang It's very mysterious. For so many years, she has been quiet. Madam didn't dare to do anything to her, and she was very kind to her. Whenever she made a move, I felt suspicious. It was always right to follow her, mother, Tell me again, how did Sifang get into our house?"

"Sifang?" Third Aunt muttered, and she sat down to recall memories, "That night, when I just put you to bed, the master said that everyone should go to the living room, Sifang knelt there, holding Tang Youtian in his arms, Master and Madam Sitting at the top, no one spoke, and it was terribly quiet. The second room pushed me and asked me what happened? I ignored her. After a long time, the master ordered that the fourth room should be taken in, and the wife kept silent. He said that since the children are all born, let’s accept them, and then go to pick a date to salute. I went to see the fourth room with the second room, and she was very kind, but she didn’t say anything. Over the years, she only went to the mountains and fields. Even if she stays in her own yard and doesn't come out, the master doesn't go to her yard, and the madam treats her surprisingly well, it's really strange."

"I suspect Sifang has some secrets." Tang Qinghe guessed, "What exactly is it? Sifang's scheming is deep enough."

"No matter what secrets she has, let's leave it alone. Right now, we need to grasp Tang Qinglu's every move, so we can have countermeasures." San Yiniang didn't care about Sifang, Sifang didn't fight or grab, she was still happy Well, "Hey, you are a lady of a great family, you can't show your face in public, just listen to outsiders, it is always biased, hey, what should I do?"

"Mother, don't worry, we may get something from Lady Onion." Tang Qinghe smiled.

"Ms. Onion?" Third Aunt didn't know why.
