Xuehan's heart sank. The last time she visited the county government, her mother told her to always be on guard against people. She knew that people are two-faced, good and bad. , the lives of the people at the bottom are also worthless. "We looted all of Wang Ru's property, leaving only a few enough to deliver letters."
Zhulan was satisfied again and continued to ask, "Wang Xin and Wang Rong also have a lot of money in their hands, what should I do?"
Xuehan was silent for a few seconds, "All ransacked away."
Zhu Lan smiled, "If I were Young Master Shi, I would keep the money of the two of them."
Xuehan didn't understand, "Why, mother?"
Zhu Lan took a sip of tea, "Because the three of them are living together now, but Wang Ru obviously uses the two sisters as maids, and Wang Ru's reputation for implicated in the two sisters, the conflict between the three is already big, leaving Wang Xin behind. The money from Wang Rong and Wang Rong can directly warn Wang Ru to take back as much as she gives her. Second, it catalyzes the conflict between the three of them, intimidating Wang Rong and Wang Xin that the money will disappear at any time. "
Anyway, if Shi Qing did just that, and Shi Qing was the winner of the house fight, she wouldn't be worse than her.
Xuehan hissed. She always thought that physical injuries were the most ruthless. After listening to her mother's words, attacking the heart was the most ruthless. Today, this class has been taught.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back from the county. After dinner, he went back to the house and said to Zhulan, "The day after tomorrow, Mrs. Dong will come to visit with Miss Dong. You are looking to clean up the house. You need to prepare a list of what to buy in advance. Write me a list. , I'll bring it back from the county tomorrow."
Zhulan was surprised, "Why did they come?"
It's not equal. They are family members of the official family. Many counties don't invite people to go there. It's the first time the two of them have visited. Even if it's a return visit, it's been half a month.
On the way back, Zhou Shuren had been thinking about the meaning of the county magistrate, and he knew a lot in his heart, "The eldest daughter of the Dong family became a widow, and the first marriage was to marry Gao, and life was not good, if not for the death of her husband, life would be even more difficult. At the beginning, the Dong family paid a lot of benefits in order to break away from the husband's family. The Dong family can pay for the married daughter. The Dong family's character is good. I guess after the eldest daughter's lesson, the Dong family wants to find a son-in-law who can handle it.
Zhulan, "You have inquired about the Dong family clearly enough."
Zhou Shuren said: "These are not secrets. I didn't inquire about them before. After I went to the county last time, I inquired about what I should inquire about."
Zhulan asked, "The Dong family has also inquired about our family clearly. You said, which son of our family does Mr. Dong have a crush on?"
"That's why Mrs. Dong came to see it in person. As for which one she likes, she'll know at that time."
Zhulan said quietly: "I'm still thinking about getting married in two years, but it seems impossible now."
Zhou Shuren was delighted, "Don't think too much of our son, Chang Lian is selfish and tactful, and Chang Zhi is incapable of common affairs. Maybe no one will look down on the little girl!"
Zhu Lan thought about it too, "Dong Chuchu is a little girl, the Dong family must be very fond of her, her opinion is very important."
Especially after the lesson of the eldest daughter.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't contradict this matter, they thought from different perspectives. They also thought about Xuehan in the same way at the beginning. It was the understanding of parents. Of course, there was a reason why it was useless to contradict. There was a gap in status.
Zhulan was thinking about what to cook, and took Zhou Shuren's pen to write a list. Their family didn't have the ability of Dong's family to buy rare ingredients. What she could prepare was what Li's took. It's too deliberate, don't backfire and leave a bad impression.
Zhu Lan wrote it down and handed it to Zhou Shuren, "You can go to the county tomorrow to buy some seasonings and cakes. Yes, don't forget the wine. There is no good wine at home, so everything you buy is on the list."
Zhou Shuren glanced at it, "Aren't you going to buy meat?"
Zhulan shook her head, "Tomorrow, the butcher's house will slaughter pigs, and I will let Mrs. Li go to watch it early in the morning just buy the brine prepared in advance. There are also fish in the fish village. You don’t have to go to the county to buy it.”
Zhou Shuren folded the list, "It's good that you have an idea."
Zhulan added: "The day after tomorrow, you don't need to ask for leave for your two sons, that would be too deliberate."
Zhou Shuren, "You don't need to ask for leave."
Zhulan put on her shoes and went to the ground, "I'll go to Mrs. Li and ask her what to buy tomorrow."
"kindness."
Zhulan found Li's in the kitchen, "Where's the water?"
Mrs. Li put down the burning stick, "It's summer, the children are uncomfortably hot, and they feel good when they wash and bathe frequently. Mother, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhulan felt that she had neglected, the eldest grandson is not too young, the second grandson is too big, the old family is too small for a room, and Yushuang is too big, but unfortunately the Zhou family has no free room, I will think about how to arrange the grandson for a while. them.
Zhulan motioned for Mrs. Li to sit first. Mrs. Li looked at her mother-in-law's face, very kind and relieved.
Zhulan said, "If the butcher kills pigs, you can buy two catties of pork belly, two pork knuckles, half a pig liver, and four pig trotters."
Li Shi was surprised, "Mother, do you want a treat at home?"
Zhulan nodded, "Well, when you buy the meat, you can go to the wild rabbits raised by the hunter's house and buy two back."
Mrs. Li took it all down, "Mother, when will the guests come tomorrow?"
"The guest will come the day after tomorrow and the water will boil. I'll go back first if you're busy."
Li hurriedly pulled out the fire, and when she wanted to ask her mother who to invite to dinner, her mother had already left, and she was thinking about who would come to sit, but after thinking about it, she couldn't guess who it was.
Zhulan went back to the house, "The grandchildren are not too young, it's time to move out of the parents' house, you see Yushuang moved out to live with Xuehan, Mingyun and Rongchuan live, Mingteng will move out next year. Stay, how is this arrangement?"
