Chapter 174
Wang Yanqing nodded with a smile: "I see. Lady Wu's family is so kind to you."
Sure enough, after Wang Yanqing said this, the disdain on Qian's face deepened. As a mother-in-law, it is normal to dislike a daughter-in-law showing off her family, but the expression should be anger or disgust, why is it disdain?
From what Wang Yanqing sees, the Lizheng family's wealth is not strong enough to despise the daughter-in-law's family who can resell goods from the capital, right? Moreover, when Qian heard her daughter-in-law say that her family was rich, she was disdainful in her eyes, but she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
What is she laughing at?
Wang Yanqing murmured silently in his heart, it was a surprise that there was a breakthrough so soon.
Mrs Wu was so excited to talk about her parents' family, but she was interrupted by Mrs Qian without saying a word: "It's July, and in two months, Qi'er should take the exam."
Qian's words were very abrupt. Wu stopped for a while. Wang Yanqing smiled and asked, "Is the old lady talking about Young Master Ling? I heard that Ling Lang did very well in the county school. This time Qiu Wei will definitely be among the best."
This is a topic Qian's favorite topic, she immediately chattered about her son Li Qi, and the smile on Wu's face solidified like a paper flower. At this time, Li Zhengze ran in to look for his mother to play, and Mrs. Wu pushed her son's hand away and whispered, "Don't make trouble, didn't you see the distinguished guest?"
Li Zhengze was rejected by his mother and ran out gloomily. Seeing that his grandson was unhappy, Qian Shi hurriedly shouted "heart" and chased out.
After Qian went out, Wu smiled apologetically to Wang Yanqing: "Don't take offense, girl, my mother-in-law is old, and she likes to talk about those old sesame seeds and rotten millet."
Li Zheng and Qian Shi are extremely proud of their talented son. Even if they fail the exam, they will definitely pass the exam this year. However, for Mrs. Wu, she had seen early on that Li Qi was not a candidate for reading, and the talent in this life would come to an end. However, Li Qi had a high self-esteem, refused to go home to farm or find a job in the city, and recited those sour poems all day long. Mrs. Wu had long complained about her husband.
Wang Yanqing listened with a smile, and guided a few questions from time to time, but did not interfere with the conflicts between the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's not a good way to say this, but speaking ill of someone together is definitely one of the fastest ways for two strangers to get closer. Even if Wang Yanqing didn't answer, the Wu family quickly became close to Wang Yanqing.
Wang Yanqing thought about it, and said, "You don't need to worry, madam, Li Xiucai has fame and fame, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing in this life. Besides, fortunately he has fame, or else your family will be conscripted to serve in labor this time, Li Xiu. Qi and Li Zheng might not be able to come back."
Hearing this, Mrs Wu sighed and said, "Isn't it, it's a blessing in disguise."
"How can this be called a blessing in disguise?" Wang Yanqing said with a smile, "This is a mistake, and it is destined."
Wang Yanqing noticed that Mrs. Wu pouted slightly, picked up the fan, and shook it slowly: "Yes. Li Qi, if nothing else, is always lucky."
Listening to her tone, she seems to be quite resentful towards her husband and in-law's family. Wang Yanqing's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced outside. She saw Qian took her grandson out to play with her own eyes, so she put on a sad face, and sighed in pain: "The things in this world are always so unreasonable, rich people are so unreasonable. People have been rich from generation to generation, but the unfortunate people are getting more and more unfortunate. Mrs. Wu, your husband is famous, and he has a smart and well-behaved son. You don’t have to worry about it in the rest of your life. If you change to a lady from another family, you will have to pay taxes again. , the family lost a man again, what can I do to make a living in the future?"
Wang Yanqing let out a long sigh, but out of the corner of his eye kept focusing on the Wu family. When Wu shi heard these words, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips unconsciously.
Wang Yanqing recognized it almost immediately that she was guilty. Guilt is an emotion that people with a high sense of morality will have. When a person feels guilty, they are most inclined to make self-punishments that benefit others and harm themselves.
Wang Yanqing quietly used her guilt: "But fortunately they received silver taels from the county government. Although the two most important pillars of the family are missing, they have money in their hands and can handle it for a few years. I just don't know how to wait for this money. After the money is spent, what will they do?"
Wu shi lowered his head and did not answer. Wang Yanqing took her hand and said with a smile, "Thanks to the fact that they met a good Lizheng. I heard that Aunt Liu's family went to the county government several times to complain about their grievances and no one answered them. They annoyed the county magistrate and were almost tortured. It was Lizheng who came forward to fight for funeral expenses for the villagers, so that these orphans, widows and mothers had some money to live. Yes. It is a blessing for your son to be reborn in such a family."
"What a blessing to be born in their family!" Wu Shi was excited, she took a deep breath, bowed her head and said, "Sorry, I lost my way."
"What's wrong?" Wang Yanqing looked at her with concern. "Don't worry, I am also a maid, and understand the pain. Did your in-laws treat you harshly?"
These words had been held back in Wu's heart for a long time, and today she somehow felt a surge of energy, she followed this impulse and spit out the suffocation of the past: "It's not enough to be harsh, after all, the Lizheng family wants to face the face. But their family has never regarded me as one of their own, and they give Zheng Zheng around me for any good things, and they also tell Zheng Zheng not to tell me. Bah, who cares?"
Once you find an outlet for your emotions, it's hard to stop them later. Wang Yanqing looked incredulous and asked, "Really? I think Li Zhenggu is warm-hearted, serious and responsible, and the old lady is also a straight-hearted person. How could she say such things in private?"
