Chapter 209: Looking for Opportunities
"No matter how little is enough, everything should be done again and again. Our family is not a rich family. There are so many people in the family to support. I lent you the first time because your husband is a colleague of ours." Yes, I lent you the second loan because we all live in this area and are neighbors. Don’t say anything about how our family can’t live without food. The amount I lent you to Mrs. He before was enough for your family for a month or two. Okay, just a few days ago, Mrs. He came to borrow food again, but my place is used as the food warehouse of the county government. "
Su Wenyue refused without thinking. If she had known Mrs. He was so virtuous before, she would not have lent it out even those two times. She would never come back. Although she did not feel sorry for this small amount of food, she could give it to someone like Mrs. He. It's better to feed it to pigs. If you fatten it up, you can still have a few extra kilograms of fat when slaughtered during the New Year.
Mrs. He's face froze. She had previously seen Su Wenyue as easy to talk to, and Su's natal family was a well-known wealthy family, so they would not be short of this food. She thought that she could borrow it again, and it was useless to use it. When her mother-in-law came over to ask for food. My hands were a little looser. Those relatives in my husband's family were too difficult to deal with. It would definitely not work if I didn't give them. If they can't borrow food this time, their family will have to live in a hurry these days. Now that prices are soaring, food is the most important thing. It's not enough if they don't have enough to eat every day.
Mrs. He originally planned to use cunning methods if Su didn't agree. Su, who was as noisy as her husband's relatives, had nothing to do. Coming from a wealthy family like Su, the most important thing is a reputation. Then she would be afraid of Su. She didn't want to borrow food, but looking at Su's behavior just now, she was a little unsure.
"Mrs. Han, I have no choice, otherwise I wouldn't come to you to borrow food. Although I have borrowed some before, my husband-in-law is the only one who supports such a big family. I could still make do with it before. , There is really no other way in this world. I know you are kind-hearted, Mrs. Han, so I ask you to help me this last time. Please lend me this time. Don’t worry, I will return the food when the father-in-law’s salary is paid. I won’t ask for you in vain,” Mrs. He said confidently, but unfortunately there was no credibility in her words.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. He. You and your family have to live, and so does our family. Speaking of which, our family supports many people. We can't live for your family. We shouldn't live our own lives, either. Please put yourself in my shoes, Mrs. He, and don't be too selfish!" Su Wenyue made up her mind and was not polite to Mrs. He at all. Even the words that Mrs. He wanted to say were blocked by Su Wenyue.
Mrs. He was a little frustrated, "Hey, Mrs. Han, are you kidding me? Your family has such a big business, and they can have more food no matter how much they want. How can they be short of this little food? Even if they don't want to borrow it, there's no need to use this excuse to deal with it." I’ll just say it.”
Mrs. He thought that saying this would stimulate Su Wenyue to change her attitude, but the effect had the opposite effect.
"Then let me tell Mrs. He directly that I don't want to lend you food, so you can leave!" When Su Wenyue said this, she had already made a gesture of seeing off the guests. She was really unscrupulous and very arrogant.
"Ms. Su, hello, hello!" Mrs. He's face was so gloomy that water dripped from her face.
"I'm very fine! Don't worry, Mrs. He will forget about it." It makes Su Wenyue feel happy if she can make people who hate her feel happy. Naturally, she is very good.
"Hmph, don't be proud for too long. I really thought your man would be great if he got promoted. The higher he climbs, the worse he falls. I'm waiting for that day." Mrs. He was unwilling to give in. Before leaving, she did not forget to mock Su Wenyue. , but he just felt that Han Yu's foundation in the military camp was unstable, and he had offended Master Tongxuan, and he would be in trouble sooner or later, so he didn't take Su Wenyue seriously. As for what happened in the Su Mansion that day, Su Wenyue didn't mention it, and Mrs. Tongpan and Mrs. Sun were even less likely to tell about the embarrassing experience. As for those rumors, everyone just ignored them and didn't take them completely seriously.
"I don't know if I can wait until that day, but I'm waiting for you, Mrs. He, to return the food to me as soon as possible." Su Wenyuepi said with a smile, and then made Mrs. He angry, and left the Han family in anger. , there was no reason to return the food she had received, she had no intention of returning it at all.
Seeing Mrs. He run away angrily, Xiao Xi clapped her hands and applauded: "Madam, you are so powerful. You can't be too polite when dealing with people like Mrs. He."
Nanny Chen was a little worried. She didn't contradict Mrs. He before. Firstly, it was an identity issue, and there were other concerns: "Madam, Mrs. He was so angry this time, she will definitely slander her when she goes back." Madam, ruining Madam’s reputation.”
"It doesn't matter, just let her talk."
Su Wenyue waved her hand indifferently. She had considered all the issues that should be considered before doing it. In this situation, life will become more and more difficult. In the future, more and more people will come to her to borrow things to enjoy the autumn breeze. This opportunity lets everyone know that she, Su Wenyue, is not that easy to talk to, and those who want to come will be more worried.
Feng Susu watched Mrs. He leave angrily, and asked the servants in a low voice. She was a little worried when she learned the reason. Yueniang seemed to be an official's wife, and her life was not that easy. She had to take care of the whole family. He also had to deal with people like Mrs. He. She couldn't help Yueniang. All she could do was do her best to do the things she was doing.
Not long after, the news that Madam He went to the Han family to borrow grain but was driven out by Su Wenyue spread everywhere. People who heard these rumors had different reactions. Some laughed at Madam He for being unpresentable, and some said Su Wenyue was stingy. However, it did have some effect. Most of those who hesitated to go to Su Wenyue for help gave up the idea.
Most of these people were not very familiar with Su Wenyue, but they heard the wind and knew that Madam He had received grain twice at the Han family. They also wanted to take advantage of it. Just as they were about to go to the door, they heard the news that Madam He was driven out.
"Master, this is the latest news about Miss Su." The man in black handed a piece of information to Sikong Ling.
Since that day in Lingyin Temple, Sikong Ling has never seen Su Wenyue again. It's not that he didn't think about creating opportunities, but Su Wenyue was pregnant at home and had no chance at all. He could only rely on the information from his subordinates to learn about Su Wenyue's recent situation. Recently, this girl seems to be very active and noisy. Although he can't see her, he can hear a lot about her.
"Is the news over there accurate?" Sikong Ling asked, stroking the information in his hand, with a complicated expression.
"It is accurate. I am afraid they will take action when they see the opportunity."
"Send a copy of the news and information to Han Yu." Sikong Ling said this with a hint of hesitation.
