C199 Bad to say also said
Glistening Fragrance had already expected that she would ask such a question. She let out a bitter laugh and said, "The Song Family's female mother is generous. I don't need to ask. I can't tell you this."
"Why can't I say it? Is it hard to say it or not?"
Mian Niang's eyes were sharp, as if she could see through her.
Fortunately, she was used to seeing such scenes, so she quickly regained her composure. However, she didn't know when this countryside girl, who even the Elementary Scholars did not like, had such an imposing manner. Thinking back to how she had seen her performance at the bottom of the carriage, she suddenly felt that the person who had misjudged her was the Elementary Scholar.
It was just that he did not know what happened afterwards and why Mian Niang was still selling tofu.
It's hard to say, but it's hard to say. If you really want to ask, it could only be called a coincidence, as for the matter between Mehanlin and I, I was mistaken at the beginning. I thought that he would be able to become as powerful as the scholars in the novel, but you also know, he's just a useless trash, weak person.
Mian Niang stared at her from beginning to end, and asked: "What kind of coincidence is it that the Gu family paid a large price to redeem you, and you're really just a servant?"
She was unwilling to let him go, but Tender Fragrance kept her mouth shut. She only said, "If you don't believe what I say, you can ask who you believe. At worst, you can just send me back to the city."
She turned and ran.
Mistress Cloud called out a few times to follow him, but was stopped by Mian Niang, "Let her go."
"Let her run just like that? You don't want to know the truth? "
Mistress Cloud was a little anxious, "Although I don't know what the key is hidden in this, but didn't you go to great lengths to rescue her just to find out what happened?"
"I already know what's going on."
Mian Niang's face was gloomy, she called for Mistress Yun to get on the carriage, and continued to drive the donkey cart back home.
Mistress Cloud observed his expression and asked, "What's going on? How do you understand?"
How could the Gu Family make the decision to redeem her? The Mehanlin is not just a genius, she has also seen a scholar who is not as ignorant as us, and thought that he has a bright future ahead of him.
Mistress Cloud said in realization, "You mean … to be ordered by someone?"
Mian Niang nodded his head, "It's exactly what you think, it's not like that man had not played such a trick before. Back then when he was in contact with the Elementary Scholar, she called him brother because her goal was impure, and then she used such a soft method to force my brother to go to his house as a guard, all of this was just to pinch me."
"Gu Xin — no, that animal did so many things for you?"
Mian Niang nodded slightly. Things were just as she had thought.
Mistress Yun covered her mouth as she could not believe it. If Mian Niang had not said it, how could she have known that there were so many twists and turns?
"This person is truly despicable. He clearly knows that you don't want him to do this, yet he still forced him to do this."
Looking at Mian Niang's current life, she could not help but sigh as she thought about what Mei Family had done. "But come to think of it, although Gu Heng is not a good person, she is still much stronger than that nest of Mei Family."
"There is nothing to be strong or weak about. There is only the word 'should' and 'not'."
She was married, and was a married woman. If Gu Yan had a little bit of respect in his heart, he shouldn't have come to find her.
She was unmarried, had a poor family background, and came from a weak family. Even though the Gu family was such a high court, she didn't have any high intentions. Gu Xin shouldn't have come to provoke her.
Gu Han didn't provoke her, so how could all this happen?
After hearing what she said, Mistress Cloud did not know how to comment on this at all. All that was left was a bunch of long sighs.
"You're thinking too much, right now there's finally a good thing to it. Look, you've done so well with the tofu, and now you've accepted the Peach Blossom House's orders, the future will only be better for you, can you do it by yourself?" This is greedy early in the morning, doing a few more plates of tofu is not just a matter of a few plates of tofu. "
He had to fetch more water and heat more firewood. Previously, he had only woken up when the crowing of a chicken had just sounded for the first time. Now, however, it was time for him to get up and go to work.
As Mistress Cloud thought of this, she could not help but feel anxious, the happiness on her face was swept away in an instant.
"Your little brother is too young, and he still has to go to school. Your mother is not well, and she can't help."
Mian Niang didn't feel that this was a difficult matter, but instead, she was filled with anticipation. After being filled up, all she wanted to do was to earn money and live a life.
"Let's just take a look first. If we really can't do it, we'll just say it again. I don't see anyone who died from exhaustion."
Mistress Cloud could not think of any good ideas, so she could only nod in agreement.
After returning home, Mistress Yun did not go back to her own home. Instead, she followed Mian Niang to take everything off the carriage and entered Song Li's house ahead of him.
It was already too late for Mian Niang to stop her. She knew why she was staying, and was both touched and helpless. She shook her head and removed the donkey cart.
Mian Niang finished her work and entered the house while holding the receipt signed with Peach Blossom House. Mistress Yun and Madame Song were talking warmly at the moment, but most of the time it was Mistress Song who said so.
Madame Song knew that she had come in order to help Mian Niang out, so although she liked this child, she was also annoyed that the two of them were speaking up for Mian Niang again and again, as if it was all her fault. It made it seem as if she was making trouble for her daughter.
Madame Song and Li were a little annoyed.
However, even if her attitude wasn't cordial, it still wouldn't be enough to stop Mistress Cloud from trying to find the right words to say. They were always talking about Mian Niang, but the moment they saw the shoes in her hands, they said that Mian Niang's shoes were two years old old cotton shoes, and that it was not warm anymore. She was about to enter La Yue door, if only Mian Niang could wear a new pair of shoes.
When she saw the cloth on the side, she said that Mian Niang did not have any decent clothes, and was even wearing her brother's clothes. Not only was she old, he was also fat.
Seeing the remaining cloth, he started to recite: "I've been following Mian Niang for the past two days, and I can feel the cold wind piercing my cotton pants, and the cool breeze on my knees. Auntie Song, if Mian Niang were to continue like this, wouldn't her legs go bad? "What should we do when we get old?"
Madame Song heard the sound of the door opening, her eyelids twitched, and she said stiffly: "She deserved it, didn't filigree give her a pair of knee guards? And she gave it back to someone else. "
"Someone else? Is that someone else?" Mistress Yun couldn't help but want to argue with him, but was stopped by Mian Niang's shoulder.
"Go home. This cold weather, follow me out. Don't think about your mother's worries, hurry back to take a look."
Mian Niang finally understood that the knot in her heart and her own mother's heart could not be resolved with just a few words of advice. The more advice she gave, the more it would be counterproductive, and she did not pray for her mother to really be able to resolve it. This knot in her heart had not even been resolved by her own, so why would she advise her mother to let it go?
Mistress Cloud could not refuse her insistence, and was still a little unconvinced. She muttered a few words, "Kindness is nothing but a mule." He turned around and left the room.
She was angry, and did not say goodbye to Madame Song when she left.
Madame Song Li was even more angry, but she only vented her anger on Mian Niang and coldly looked at her daughter.
Mian Niang didn't argue with her and wasn't affected by any of this. She only took out some words and showed them to her, telling her everything that had happened today, and also introducing all the Peach Blossom House s in the county once over.
He used half of the money to put the things away and took it out from his pocket for his mother to see.
"They paid the deposit. They also left the plate of tofu they gave us today. They wrote it clearly in black and white so they won't lie to us."
Unexpectedly, when Madame Song Li heard her words, her expression didn't change in the slightest. Instead, it was as if a storm was brewing.
Mian Niang guessed at her thoughts, "I know, you are definitely going to say that you have contact with the man outside me. My idea is big, I am not even going to discuss such a big thing with you, and I have already made the decision myself, but this is an opportunity, I don't want to give it up. Mother, I am not confident that I can explain it to you, so I can only go and discuss it later."
After she said what she wanted to say, Lady Song Li's heart felt sullen and her face was completely red. She said in a bad mood, "You already know what you still want to say to me, but I can't be your master now. "Who are you? Our family's pillar, the one who earns the most money to live is you. Now, you have not caused me to think about you every morning. This is already a great favor."
Mian Niang did not get angry with her, but patiently said: "You are not happy, I thought of it, but you have to listen to my thoughts. Mother, our family is poor, we can make those few plates of tofu everyday, and how much can we sell them for in this cave, now that the weather is cold, the tofu is easy to put away, the fresh tofu can be stored in frozen tofu.
Who can buy so much tofu? Furthermore, when the time comes, all the vegetables will come out, and tofu will no longer be a rare commodity, and at that time, being able to sell three plates of tofu a day would already be a good business. I've told you about this before, and you know it as well. "
In the past, when the Mei Family was still young, the mother and daughter pair were still very close. Mian Niang had indeed said these words to her, but Madame Song did not waver, and only pointed at Mian Niang's nose and said: "Even if you only sell three plates of tofu everyday, that's enough for us to live on. To be frank, it's because you are restless.
"Why can't I say it? Is it hard to say it or not?"
Mian Niang's eyes were sharp, as if she could see through her.
Fortunately, she was used to seeing such scenes, so she quickly regained her composure. However, she didn't know when this countryside girl, who even the Elementary Scholars did not like, had such an imposing manner.
