Chapter 148 Widow Cai
Chapter 148 Widow Cai
Tang Peipei took off his shoes, lay down next to Lu Xinyu, and asked, "When I just returned home, I heard Xia Shuang say that my aunt went to live in the general's mansion for a while. It was because of this person, right?"
"Well, dad brought back an injured woman for unknown reasons. Mom didn't say anything at first. After she woke up, she only recognized dad. She acted scared of everyone else. I don't know if she was really scared or just pretending." Lu Xinyu pouted speechlessly.
After hearing what Lu Xinyu said, Tang Peipei fell into deep thought.
Why did she feel that there was something wrong with this woman?
Seeing that Tang Peipei didn't say anything, Lu Xinyu continued, "She always pestered Dad, and Mom got angry when she saw it. Dad even quarreled with Mom because of her. Dad usually loves Mom so much, but at that time he actually said that Mom was unreasonable, and Mom went to your house in a rage."
Only then did Tang Peipei know the real reason why Liu Yeling went to live in the general's mansion.
I have to say, this woman is quite capable.
Tang Peipei thought for a moment and asked Lu Xinyu, "Do you want your father to send him away?"
Lu Xinyu spread her hands and said, "I think it's useless. My father has to be willing to do it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome again."
Tang Peipei chuckled, "I have my own way."
Seeing Tang Peipei's confident look, Lu Xinyu asked curiously, "What's the solution?"
Tang Peipei whispered quietly in Lu Xinyu's ear.
After Tang Peipei finished speaking, Lu Xinyu looked at Tang Peipei intently. She saw affirmation in her eyes, and then she showed an expression that said, "You are awesome."
She said to Tang Peipei: "Then I'll leave this matter to you, sister."
Tang Peipei said indifferently: "Don't worry, but you and your aunt have to cooperate well on this matter."
"Don't worry, as long as you can get the person away, I believe mother will cooperate with you." Lu Xinyu said affirmatively.
After talking about this matter, the two chatted about other things.
Lu Xinyu's medicinal materials business is now doing quite well, and she has also opened a shop in the capital.
However, because there was little money on hand, the shop was not big, but fortunately the location was good.
It is located on the east side of South Street, very close to Tang Peipei's shop.
Tang Peipei didn't expect that Lu Xinyu had opened a shop just over two months after she left. She was very relieved.
It seems that this younger sister is gradually standing up.
Apart from the incident involving Lu Lifeng, there were no other major events at home and everything was going on as usual.
The boys usually live in Tang Peipei's yard in the city, and they come back to help during their holidays.
Looking at the family where everything was fine, Tang Peipei was very happy.
This family has finally settled down.
next day
Tang Peipei and Lu Xinyu chatted a little late at night. When they got up, everyone had already started to get busy.
When Tang's mother saw Tang Peipei and Tang Peipei get up, she quickly asked them to wash up, and then brought out the food in the pot.
Everyone else has eaten, so this is reserved for the two of them.
Tang Peipei hasn't eaten home-cooked meals for a long time. Although the food is not very good, it tastes like home, which is enough to make her miss it.
After they had breakfast, they went to the medicinal field.
The medicinal fields are now well taken care of.
Lu Gang often asked Yuan Mingkang to go to the bookstore to get some books about medicinal field cultivation and read them to him.
Then you can cultivate the medicinal field yourself according to the actual situation.
Depending on the different medicinal materials, the medicinal fields are also different.
When the two came back from the medicine field, they happened to meet Liu Yeling who was out.
Tang Peipei gently nudged Lu Xinyu with her elbow.
Lu Xinyu immediately understood what she meant, smiled and stepped forward to hold Liu Yeling's arm and said, "Mom, where are you going?"
This was the first time that Liu Yeling felt her daughter's affection towards her, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
But he adjusted his attitude and replied, "I'll go around the village and see if anyone has cabbage seeds. I'll buy some and plant them in the backyard. Then I'll build a shed and eat fresh cabbage during the New Year."
Maybe he had never spoken to Lu Xinyu in such a nice tone before, so his tone was a little stiff.
Lu Xinyu didn't care. She was used to Liu Yeling yelling at her all the time, so today she was being very gentle.
"Then my sister and I will go with mother."
Tang Peipei quickly said, "Yeah, I haven't been around the village for a long time, I want to go for a walk."
When Liu Yeling heard that Tang Peipei was going, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
Tang Peipei took the basket from Liu Yeling's hand and took her arm.
When Liu Yeling saw it, she smiled even more happily and said, "I heard the other day that Sister Cai's family has it. Let's go to her house and ask first."
Tang Peipei was actually not very familiar with the village, so she asked, "Sister Cai?"
Liu Yeling then remembered and introduced: "Sister Cai is a widow in the village. Her husband fell off the mountain while hunting, leaving Sister Cai with her two children. It's a miserable life!"
Lu Xinyu said: "Well, I heard that the older child is about the same age as Minkang, and the younger one is a girl, who is about the same age as Sien. They can try playing together."
Xiao Ya is not called Xiao Ya anymore.
After Yuan Minkang started school, he obtained Madam Yuan's consent and personally changed the girl's name to Yuan Si'en.
Yuan Minkang also wanted Xiao Ya to remember the kindness that Nanny Yuan and the Tang family had shown them today.
Tang Peipei sighed, saying that widows in ancient times were not like widows today.
Nowadays, those who have become widows can find someone to remarry, but here it is not easy to remarry.
It's quite difficult for a woman to take care of two children.
As they were talking, they arrived outside Mrs. Cai's yard.
Mrs. Cai lives in the first courtyard in the village.
Lu Xinyu went forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a little girl came out, saw them, and called out sweetly, "Aunt Liu, Sister Xinyu."
Then a pair of big round eyes looked at Tang Peipei, not quite sure how to call out to her.
Seeing her like this, Lu Xinyu smiled and said, "This is my eldest sister, you can just call her Sister Peipei."
The little girl called out sweetly again: "Sister Peipei."
Tang Peipei smiled and replied, "Alas."
Lu Xinyu smiled and said, "Sweet girl, is your mother home?"
Tianniu, as her name suggests, is really sweet and soft.
When she smiles, there are two dimples on her face, which makes her look very cute.
If her face had a little more flesh, she would be cuter.
I only heard her say in a sweet voice: "I'm at home."
As he said this, he stepped aside and invited a few people in.
As soon as Tang Peipei and his companions entered the yard, they saw a woman in a dark blue jacket coming out of the house. There were many patches on the jacket, but it was clean.
Looks like a hard-working guy.
When he saw a few people come in, he smiled and asked them to sit inside.
Although it hasn't snowed today, it's already very cold.
Many families have started burning charcoal for heating.
Tang Peipei walked into the room and looked around.
It was very cold inside the house, basically the same temperature as outside, except that it wasn't as windy as outside.
Fortunately, it is sunny today, otherwise it would be even colder.
Tang Peipei suddenly remembered the house where she once lived in Tangjia Village.
A trace of pity arose in my heart.
Especially watching the sweet girl come in with a pot of hot water and pour water for everyone.
Tang Peipei took it with a smile and thanked him.
Tianniu ran to Mrs. Cai shyly.
Mrs. Cai also knew why they were there and asked them to wait.
She got up and went inside.
After a while, he took out a small package wrapped in cloth and handed it to Liu Yeling.
Liu Yeling took it, opened it, confirmed that it was cabbage seeds, and happily put it into the basket.
He then took out the copper coins that he had prepared long ago from his bosom, counted out ten and gave them to Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "How can I charge a copper coin for just a few vegetable seeds? We are all from the same village, there is no need to do this."
Knowing that Mrs. Cai's family was already poor, how could she really not give it?
Liu Yeling smiled and held Cai's hand, put the copper coin in her palm, and said, "Even if I go to the market to buy it, it will cost money. Besides, coming to your place saves me the trouble of going to the market."
Seeing that Liu Yeling was sincere in giving, Mrs. Cai did not delay any longer and just said, "Thank you, Aunt Liu!"
Liu Yeling shook her head. "I should be the one thanking you. Well, now that we have the seeds, we should go back."
Mrs. Cai sent the person out of the yard before returning to the house.
