Chapter 77

"Mother, what should I do? Eldest sister, third brother, Yao Ya'er and Xiaozi are still kneeling in the ancestral hall, or I will kneel too, will mother agree to the elder sister and Zhou's marriage for the sake of everyone's sincerity?" The son is getting married."

Tang Youtian was jumping anxiously in his yard. He had long wanted to go to the ancestral hall and kneel with Tang Qinglu, but Fourth Aunt refused.He looked back at the fourth aunt who was kneading melon seeds, and was extremely annoyed, "Mother, the elder sister is my elder sister, and I will help her if she has difficulties." He was unwilling to listen to the fourth aunt's words, and ran out.

After knocking the last melon seed, Fourth Auntie patted the table and stood up, pulling the table full of melon seed husks to the ground. In order to suppress the anger in her heart, she knocked the melon seeds to suppress it. At this moment, she really couldn't suppress it. After shaking hands, "The Tang family is really not a place for people to stay." Then he walked towards Mrs. Tang's yard.

Mrs. Tang was embroidering something when Fourth Aunt came in.

"Why are you here?" Madam Tang raised her eyes and continued to embroider.

The fourth aunt walked over and snatched the things from Mrs. Tang's hand, threw it aside, put one hand on the table, one hand on her hips, and said condescendingly, "My family Youtian also went to kneel in the ancestral hall. Five or six people knelt there. Are you here?" You feel comfortable here, don't you feel any disturbance in your heart?"

"What are you doing? If they want to kneel, let them kneel, who made them disobedient!" Mrs. Tang walked over to pick up the things, came back to sit down, and continued to embroider.

The fourth aunt didn't know where the anger came from. She snatched the things in Mrs. Tang's hands again, picked up the scissors on the table, and cut the embroidered things into pieces. Looking at Mrs. Tang, she shouted, "How long are you going to object? 'The Zhou family has a simple family background, Zhou Wenqian has no brothers, and my daughter has a noble status, so she won't suffer if she marries many brothers!" It sounds like you are praising you for loving your daughter and thinking about her. Pooh, others don’t know, and I don’t know you as a couple yet? Let me ask you, you treat Qinglu so harshly, watching your daughter haggard , are you really going to be happy if you wait until she can't get married, or find her a puppet that she doesn't like and be your puppet for the rest of her life?"

"We're doing it for Qinglu's sake. What's so good about the Zhou family?" Mrs. Tang said vaguely.

"You keep saying that it's good for Qinglu, what's so good about it? Tell me, you always say that Qinglu is not doing well in the Lin family? I don't think so. She is a favored child in the Lin family. Every time she comes back from the Lin family , she is always happy, that smart little girl, naughty and cute, what about now? She works hard to make you happy, and you are still watching the jokes. To put it bluntly, she is a doormat in the Tang family."

"How much do you love her? Restrict her movement, give her a dilapidated shop, hide the fields from her, and keep her guard against her by talking so nicely. Is this what parents should do?"

"Such a beloved child of the Lin family, if they know that you treat Qinglu like this, how sad they will be? If they know that you are like this, they will take Qinglu back without saying a word. Really, I, an outsider, can't stand it anymore. "

The fourth aunt became more and more angry as she talked, and finally sat down and put her left hand on the table to calm down.

"We are doing it for her own good." Mrs. Tang was also very calm.

"Okay, stop telling others that you called her back to make up for her lack of fatherly love and motherly love." The fourth aunt waved her hand, her soft voice was sonorous and powerful, "Fatherly love and motherly love, she does not lack, Master Lin and Lin Madam will definitely not pay less than you. The Tang family is a mess, the shops can't be managed, the fields can't be raised, and everyone is living on the money they saved in the first few years. The silver money that Yue secretly sent over hangs his life."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Tang was in a hurry. She looked around, but she didn't see anyone, so she picked up Fourth Aunt and pushed her into the side room. Do you want to stay in the Tang family?"

"I really don't want to stay in the Tang family." Si Yiniang grabbed Mrs. Tang's hand and led her to the table and pushed her to the mirror, "Liyue, what a kind person you were back then, now you, look at the mirror With sharp eyes and ferocious appearance, you look like a dominatrix, everyone hates you, how sad!"

"If I'm not strict, the concubine's house will be arrogant, and those bastards will be rampant. I have to win some Lin family wealth for Yao Ya'er." Mrs. Tang was serious.

"Damn, how much property does the Tang family have? It's an empty shell, they can't divide much money, and the big money is in your hands. Every time I see the second and third bedrooms secretly calculating, I am very funny, the surface is prosperous The emptiness behind, there is no much money at all, how much can they get?" Si Yiniang said bluntly, she didn't think it was necessary to be euphemistic with Mrs. Tang, she was really angry, she was angry that Tang Qinglu was used by her parents and she didn't know .

"Zhong Ye, we all know that you have been in the Tang family for a short time, and you will return to the Jiang family in the capital sooner or later, but don't forget that when your husband died and you were framed, the Tang family took you in." Tang Madam began to mention Fourth Aunt's life experience.

Zhong Ye was originally the daughter-in-law of Lin Zhiyang's husband's second uncle in the capital. Second Uncle Jiang was originally a scholar. He failed the imperial examination many times and died of depression. His mother didn't like Zhong Ye and thought Zhong Ye killed Uncle Jiang. , made things difficult everywhere, and pushed her to be buried with Uncle Jiang's grave.

Zhong Ye was thinking about the newborn child, of course she disagreed, she had already planned to exchange the jewelry for money, sew it into the clothes, and escape overnight with the child in her arms.After escaping along the way, he met Tang Anhe. Tang Anhe had contact with Jiang's family through Lin Jingtang, and had a little friendship with Second Uncle Jiang. Naturally, the two knew each other.

Tang Anhe was originally a kind-hearted person. Seeing her panicked appearance, he asked, and Zhong Ye said that he needed to find a hiding place.Tang Anhe knew more about the situation of Guo Jiang's second uncle's house, so he asked if he would like to go to Tang's house to hide.

Zhong Ye was always worried that the Jiang family would come to arrest her and bury her with her, so she agreed without even thinking about it, and this was how the fourth aunt came to be.Of course, Zhong Ye also gave Mrs. Tang, Tang An and 1000 taels of silver as a contract of freedom.Therefore, Fourth Aunt never went to see Tang Anhe, and Tang Anhe didn't see her either.

"I didn't spend a penny from the Tang family, but I did a lot of things for the Tang family, which is enough to repay the kindness of the third generation." The fourth aunt smiled slightly, "I was soaked in the poison vat of the rich family's house, and it was all poisonous. Don't invade. You guys, I don't want to expose your old background today, but I like Qinglu, I regard her as my own daughter, I love her, and I don't allow her biological parents to calculate her like this. Parents, heart and soul, hehe."

"Zhong Ye, enough is enough, don't go too far." Mrs. Tang was most afraid that Zhong Ye would reveal all the filth of the Tang family to Tang Qinglu, but she was most worried that the Lin family would find out.

"Hehe, Liyue, don't worry, I will only beautify you in front of Qinglu, and make you look like heaven and earth. I would rather let her know that her parents love her rather than take advantage of her."

"Tang An and himself have no skills, so they want to call the girl back and give her the status of head of the family, so that the Lin family thinks that you value it. In fact, they think that Qinglu is in the Tang family, and the Lin family will send more money. Indeed, every time With twice as much money in a month, your life is really worry-free. You are really good parents with your hypocritical faces and your own daughters as bargaining chips." Zhong Ye smiled and took a picture. Patting Mrs. Tang on the shoulder, she said, "Then how good is the Chen family? You just look at their family's great fortune, but you don't know that they have internal and external troubles, and they may soon go bankrupt. If you marry Qinglu to Chen Jiayang Well, maybe they will rely on your Tang family in the future? Then Mrs. Chen, it's not easy to mess with."

"What? The Chen family is going bankrupt?" Mrs. Tang couldn't believe it.

"Yeah!" Zhong Ye smiled, "Also, in the past, people didn't want to marry a single brother. That was the idea of ​​poor families. Now, many people are fed up with the troubles of having multiple brothers, and want to marry their daughters to The family background is simple, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, that Zhou Wenqian, many girls want to marry him now. If you miss it, Qinglu will not forgive you, nor will the Lin family. Think about it. "

Zhong Ye left after finishing speaking. She didn't want to dig too much into the Tang family's shady affairs.She believed that Mrs. Tang would understand.

This Zhong Ye is not as quiet as she appears on the surface, a woman from a wealthy family is really not simple.Mrs. Tang looked at Zhong Ye's leaving back and muttered to herself.

However, Tang Anhe told her that in recent years, Second Uncle Jiang's family has been searching for the whereabouts of Zhong Ye's mother and son, and they have sent people to find Tanping County. It is said that whoever finds Zhong Ye's mother and son will get a sum of money Well, the price has been increasing year by year, Mrs. Tang thought to wait until the price had risen even higher, before handing over Zhong Ye's mother and son.So she can only speak nicely to Zhong Ye, and dare not do anything to Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye also knew about this.

Mrs. Tang had just been pierced by Zhong Ye into the darkness in her heart, she couldn't help feeling flustered, and hurried to her room, when Tang Anhe saw her, she asked suspiciously, "Madam, why do you look so flustered?"

"Master, Zhong Ye knows everything, we have to make some compromises." Mrs. Tang said.

"Compromise?" Tang Anhe didn't understand.

"If we want to get support from the Lin family, we have to let Qinglu live better. How about this, your body has almost recovered, so you go to the ancestral hall and call Qinglu up, tell her to agree to the Zhou family's marriage " Mrs. Tang said in a low voice, and then told about Qinglu staying in the ancestral hall.

"Nonsense." Tang Anhe became angry, "That's my daughter after all, why are you so cruel, you hit me as soon as you say, do you take me seriously?" Tang Anhe patted the table, outside Everyone knows.However, after Zhong Yeyi's explanation, it is not known whether he is showing his true feelings or acting mostly.
