New widow

Chapter 255

"It wasn't our wife who went into the city yesterday. Now I was thinking that someone might have said something bad there, so I came out to inquire." As she spoke, Aunt Wu said to Mrs. Du, "Now that I'm getting older, I couldn’t stand it after walking for a while, so I wanted to find a place to rest, so when I saw your shed, I came here unceremoniously.”

"It's our blessing that you can come." Mrs. Du was still busy pouring tea, but Aunt Wu stopped her and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

Mrs. Du still came over with tea, and Aunt Wu took the tea cup. The tea cup was also broken, let alone the tea. How could Aunt Wu like it, so Aunt Wu just put the tea cup aside and said to Mrs. Du : "I just heard outside that you are worried about your future livelihood. Didn't our lady say that we are offering a reward of 20 taels of silver for clues, limited to three days. If the clue cannot be found within three days, then the reward will be given to Lord of suffering.”

To the sufferer? Du Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, that was for her family, what a good thing this was? With 20 taels of silver, plus the little savings, you can live for two or three years. When the eldest reaches ten years old, let him find something to do. Calculating this, he only needs to survive for a few years.

Du Shi immediately laughed: "That's good, that's good." After saying this, Du Shi felt that her smile was wrong. Du Shi quickly put away the smile on her face and sighed: "If his father is still here, then I won't worry about this money. matter."

"Who knows what this person's situation is like?" Nanny Wu patted Mrs. Du on the shoulder, but saw that Mrs. Du was silent, so Nanny Wu said deliberately: "Why, Auntie, what else do you want to say? explain?"

"I don't have anything to say, I just

I want to say that my niece’s life is actually not that bad. " Mrs. Du was full of thoughts about the 20 taels of silver. How could she give these 20 taels to Mrs. Du? At this moment, Grandma Wu suddenly asked, and Mrs. Du could only answer immediately.

Compared with Mrs. Du, Aunt Wu was too smart and capable. She could tell at a glance what Mrs. Du was planning, but Aunt Wu couldn't say it out loud. She only said a few words to Mrs. Du to comfort her. Wu Grandma also said goodbye.

As soon as Grandma Wu left, Mrs. Du said to Mrs. Du: "It seems that you have never told me about the 20 taels of silver."

"You were there that day." Mrs. Du said in surprise. Mrs. Du smiled and said, "I originally thought it was a lie."

"I've seen that lady before, and she won't tell lies." Mrs. Du said categorically, and Mrs. Du couldn't help but snort from her nose: "This lady from a wealthy family tells lies a lot, so why should I agree to beat her up?" Reward, but in the end, even if you don’t give it seven deductions or eight deductions, there will be more.”

"Are you talking about Mrs. Du?" The only other wife that Du could think of besides Su Qiao was Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du had already pouted on the ground: "You are talking nonsense, let people hear this. Do I still want to do this business?"

Mrs. Du had already said softly: "I heard someone say a few days ago that Mrs. Du lives a very luxurious life, but she is always a little frugal towards the people around her."

Although Mrs. Du pretended to be Mrs., she also knew that her name was not justified. Except for Wang Shangshu and Wang Gongzi and his son, the rest were saved as much as possible.

Wang Shangshu’s great-grandson got engaged last year, and the gifts he brought out made people frown and make them angry.

Wang Shangshu's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ningtai, almost ran over, but she didn't dare to say no to Mrs. Du. She could only order people to chase the matchmaker and exchange all the gifts. When the news reached Mrs. Du's ears, Mrs. Du also said that since the family was so rich, they shouldn't have prepared it themselves in the first place.

Mrs. Zhetai didn’t know who to complain to if she wanted to complain. After her grandson’s engagement, Mrs. Zhetai, including her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, took them all back to her post. If she had less to do with Mrs. Du, she could live a few more years. After all, Wang Shangshu can only listen to Mrs. Du's words now and pamper his ignorant young son. If someone else's words are slightly unfavorable, Wang Shangshu will use his family's methods and make a big deal.

Mrs. Du patted Mrs. Du's hand and said, "Don't listen to those lies." After saying this, Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Besides, no matter how frugal she is, what leaks out from between her fingers is enough for us."

What this means is that even if the Shangshu Mansion is frugal in a year, it will not save thousands of silver, but what it will save is enough to feed and clothe the people outside.

Du Shi nodded: "After the funeral is over, I really want to ask the lady if she wants someone to bathe her."

"That's right." Mrs. Du praised her. Seeing that the invited monk began to come in and chant sutras, Mrs. Du left Mrs. Du busy and hurriedly chased after Grandma Wu.

Mother Wu walked slowly on purpose, just to wait for Mrs. Du to ask her questions. Sure enough, not even half a mile after Mother Wu walked out, Mrs. Du's voice came from behind her: "Mother Wu, wait for me."

"I thought you were going to help there, so I didn't ask you to come with me." Aunt Wu turned around and said with a smile.

Mrs. Du caught up with Grandma Wu and walked side by side with her: "Didn't Madam say that day that she wanted to buy groceries with our family? I have free time today, so I wanted to go and say hello to Madam. carefulness."

Grandma Wu remembered Su Qiao's excuse that day, so she nodded: "Our wife is good at everything else. She just likes to eat some fresh vegetables, and she often asks me to find them."

"When it comes to fresh vegetables, they are naturally the freshest in my house." Mrs. Du said with a smile, "How about tomorrow, I will send you a handful, and I will eat them first. If they taste good, I will send them to you every day."

As she spoke, Mrs. Du leaned into Nanny Wu's ear and said, "It's done, I will naturally respect you."

Aunt Wu looked at Mrs. Du and smiled: "You should keep that little bit of filial piety for yourself."

"Yes, the filial piety we show is not ordinary to you." Mrs. Du was very flexible and would never make Nanny Wu unhappy at all.

Aunt Wu also smiled: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that our lady teaches us not to be as extravagant as before."

"Isn't this a good day?" Mrs. Du deliberately made an exaggerated appearance, and Aunt Wu deliberately said: "Then you have never seen the appearance of a British prince's mansion, which is called magnificent."

"More wealthy than the Chancellor's Mansion?" Mrs. Du asked back. Mother Wu knew that Mrs. Du had gradually taken the bait, so she deliberately exaggerated and said how magnificent the British Duke's mansion was.

"Not to mention anything else, the people around our girl should be four big maids, eight little maids, and two nurturing maids, excluding those who sweep and do rough work." After Wu said, Du

The mother-in-law was counting there. After the calculation, the mother-in-law Du was speechless: "So many, there are about twenty people serving the girl alone."
