C55 shyness (1/2)
Mian Niang felt cold, she did not know why his mother would ask about this, but she replied: ”Didn't I tell you already? We crashed into each other in the car, and the other party compensated me with money. I bought it secretly.”
”I'm not asking about that. I'm asking, did Your mother-in-law find out about the ginseng, that's why you guys got into conflict? The last time you came back, didn't you say that the Your mother-in-law and the rest were very nice to you? ”
Madame Song and Li still thought that the tofu hyacinth was looking for trouble because of the ginseng.
From the very beginning, he didn't like them. What was there to be proud of? Mian Niang could not speak the truth, and could only continue to lie: ”I don't know either, she probably doesn't know about this. Otherwise, she would have asked me a long time ago.”
What was even more strange was tofu hyacinth's thoughts back then. She had clearly been innocent with the idiot, and the unclean one was Gu La, but she didn't doubt the real black-hearted one at all. On the contrary, she doubted the simple-minded nephew of her own nephew, and really didn't know what to think. Just because they were called officials and madame and they were given a bunch of gifts, did they think that the other party was a good person?
Look at that Young Master Gu, who had just entered the room, she had a long face, as if someone owed her 800 coins, which is also the reason why the Young Master Gu has such a good temper, if it were any other person, he would have already started acting up.
While Wu Niang was grumbling about his daughter-in-law, she asked her curiously, ”Mother, that Young Master Gu is here to pay his respects and deliver the gift as well. Tell me, is he planning something?”
”What are you thinking about, what's wrong with her, she's got nothing worth people trying to do, if she has no looks, no body, no words, no ass in front of her, if you don't let her out a fart, what are you trying to do, are you trying to make her look like a mute?” Don't even mention laughing, just her, my girl can't even compare to a little finger, only the silly like do not know how to move some of those lost thoughts. That Young Master Gu is from the capital, and is the marquis' golden grandson. What kind of beauty have you not seen before?
While speaking, tofu hyacinth looked his daughter up and down, and casually said: ”If that Young Master Gu is truly moved, then the person we're looking for should be a beautiful, knowledgeable person like my Wu Niang, pei, unless that Young Master Gu is blind, then he would take a fancy to her.”
Wu Niang laughed and said: ”Aiyo, Mother, I am already married. Why are you saying this? I don't want to die from shame.”
The tofu hyacinth was unconcerned: What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we really have to do anything, and what's more, if the Young Master Gu really has that intention, what can we do?
Not only was there not a trace of helplessness in this sentence, it seemed to contain a lot of expectation.
When Wu Niang saw the look in her mother's eyes, she couldn't help but become confused. But soon, she thought of another question and quickly asked, ”Mother, Second Uncle and Second Aunt really fell out with us. After that, without them taking care of you, who will help you with your family's work?”
Hearing this, tofu hyacinth snorted with disdain, and pouted: ”You know, my daughter, you are still young, and yet she is pure and kind, you do not know the twists and turns inside, your second uncle and your second aunt would definitely not be willing to help us, in this family, the most promising people are Yours, if they did not help us all these years, if it wasn't for the fact that Yours is good at reading, don't you think that they would really help us, it's just because we hope that one day Yours would be able to pass the examination? If we were to become officials, we can pull them along, otherwise those two kids would not live out of this world.”
”How could that be? I think that Second Uncle and Second Aunt sincerely want to help us, but it doesn't seem like they're planning something?”
”So this lady said you were simple and kind, I simply don't know how complicated these people's thoughts are. If they really did not have any bad intentions, then how did the matter between the idiot and Mian Niang come about? In any case, if it was me, your mother would definitely not do something that has no benefits. ”
Wu Niang was startled, then nodded: ”That's true, my mother's words are still reasonable.”
”What's more, didn't our two families have a fight before? Didn't your second aunt vow that she would never have anything to do with us again? What happened next? It's only been half a year, shouldn't we have something to do?”
Seeing that Wu Niang had finally nodded her head in enlightenment, the tofu hyacinth smiled consolingly, then said to her daughter: ”There's still half a bag of flour, you have to bake two pancakes for tonight, I can't bear to eat it normally, but now that my son is back, we can also make a meal. Oh right, that cake that Young Master Gu gave us, Wu Niang, take two pieces of it and send them over to Yours to let him have a taste, then you can send the tea to Yours's room and have it for him to keep, waiting for guests.”
Wu Niang nodded her head and agreed, then went to retrieve her things. After thinking of something, she hurriedly turned around and asked his mother: ”Mother, what about the jewelry and cloth then?”
tofu hyacinth was amused by her daughter's adorable look and pointed at her forehead: ”You little thief, there is no one in this eight li village as smart as you, so what can you do about the jewelry? You pick out two things you like and put the rest away, I will save them for later when I come to the capital to take the exam, as for the cloth, I have already seen it, the three of us will each fill in two spring coats and add another two winter clothes, it's enough, if there are any leftovers, we don't need to put them away, just make my daughter a cotton vest.
”Alright, alright.” Wu Niang said happily: ”I knew it, Mother was the best to me. ”However, my aunt has to promise me as well. I don't need much jewelry now, but when I become a top scholar and become a government official in the future, I must make it up to me.”
”I'll promise you, I'll promise you! You little monster, you're truly a smart person. No one can outsmart you.”
Her daughter was just like a goddess in the eyes of the tofu hyacinth. No matter what she did, she would always praise her.
