Blissful Days After Widowhood

Gu Yin would make such a judgment, of course it makes sense.

First of all, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhou kept saying that they were in a bad situation these years and they wore simple clothes, but they didn’t have any calluses on their hands. Also tender.

Of course, it may also be the filial piety of the younger generation in the family.

But when Mrs Wang invited them to sit down, Mrs Zhao and Mrs Zou quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the ashes-free stool, while the other frowned slightly and pursed the corners of his mouth, not very much. Willingly sit down.

Then Wang poured water for them in a large porcelain bowl, and neither of them touched a mouthful.

Gu Yin and the others now live in the lower-class room of the inn, with only a large bed and a table and chairs. The tables and chairs are too old to see their original color.

But Mrs. Wang is a person who can't see dirt. On the day she came, she cleaned and scrubbed the inside and outside of the house.

Will people who have lived in poverty for half their lives be as particular as they are?

Also, ordinary people shed tears first, and then wipe their eyes with a handkerchief.

This pair of sister-in-law is very good, first wipe the eyes with a handkerchief, and then there are tears. When Gu Yin stepped forward to salute them, she smelled a faintly spicy scent.

The tears were mostly forced out with a veil soaked in **** juice.

Finally, listen to what they have to say. They really want to care about Wang as they say. That's what it's been like over the years.

How can I not ask about the situation of the Wang family, and just keep saying that my family is not doing well, listening to the inside and outside of the words, is to take the Wang who just returned to Hanshan Town for a day. What about going further afield?

Based on the above analysis, Gu Yin felt that these two were cheating!

Gu Yin pondered for a while, then asked, "Before my grandfather passed away, did you leave anything for your mother?"

Wang was still counting the copper coins in the purse, and when he heard the words, he replied: "Didn't I tell you, when I wanted to marry your father, they were all mad. My mother At that time, they prepared a lot of dowry furniture for me, and I asked my father to take an axe and chop it up. Later, they died unexpectedly, and they left without leaving a word." Her eyes darkened when she said that. "At that time, the second old man was all about watching Qingyi, and the letter that came in said that the rooms that the family had promised me had been cleaned all the time, and they went back and lived there for the first half of the year..."

"The house at home?" Gu Yin extracted some clues from her words.

"Yeah, my family used to be wealthy, and your grandfather bought a second-class yard, but the family is not very populated, and many rooms are empty. North, but it's very spacious, with two bungalows and a small patio."

Is it already sold? But it's normal, living is a problem, there's no need to live in such a good house.

"Okay, let's go, I'm going to invite a doctor, I don't know if this amount of silver is enough." Wang touched the silver bracelet that Zou had put on himself, thinking that if it was not enough, I can only **** this bracelet, but I don't know how much money I can pawn.

"I feel better now, maybe I was excited when I saw the relatives of my grandfather's family."

Wang shook his head and insisted: "I'd better ask a doctor to take a look, and the old doctor at the beginning also said that your high fever was dangerous and dragged on for so long. After that, I have to take some tonics to keep it warm for half a year to ensure that the root of the disease is not left. In short, it is better to be safe."

Gu Yin couldn't persuade her, so she said that she could at least move around now, so she might as well go directly to the medical center, which also saved the cost of bringing the doctor back.

Mrs Wang nodded, and the three of them left the inn together.

On the street, Mr. Wang sighed again, saying that he would never get lost if he closed his eyes in the town, but now he really doesn’t know it, he knew it earlier You don't have to travel such a long way to come back here, just find a place closer to Batou Village and settle down.

Then they asked to find a hospital.

.

Wang shi glanced at Gu Yin, her eyes full of "Look, your mother is still your mother, what could be wrong?".

When it was time to prescribe the medicine, Mrs. Wang realized that the price of the medicine was doubled.

Because there was a flood in Batou Village, although Hanshan Town was far away, it was not affected, but the transportation road was affected.

Wang was so distressed, but she still paid Gu Yin to get medicine for three days.

After getting the medicine, Gu Yin proposed to find someone to inquire about the recruitment of workers in Yuanshan County.

Wang is also worried about money. Although he knows that such a good opportunity will not wait for others, he will not lose anything if he asks. If he is still recruiting people. Gu Yin can't do the work, she does it alone, anyway, five or six dollars a month is enough to support the family.

They chatted with the shopkeeper of the pharmacy and learned that the recruiter was a boat company in Yuanshan County, but the work place was not in Yuanshan County, but it was going to sea with the boat, at least Come back in two or three years.

It is precisely because you have to leave your hometown that the treatment is so good.

People in this era are still very obsessed with their hometown, let alone leave the land to go to sea to seek a life.

In addition, women who go out for several years do not conform to the dogma and rules, so people who value rules and reputation will naturally not do this work.

In this chaotic world, there are a lot of people who can't survive, so there are indeed many people who sign up.

Wang frowned.

She doesn't care about her reputation, but going to sea to seek a life sounds really dangerous, let alone what to do if you are not used to getting sick outside? Even if there is a doctor on board, but the person is overseas, can the medicinal materials be complete? Carefully give birth to a patient.

And Wu An is only over five years old, so it is extremely unsafe for such a young child to stay here alone or go out to sea with him.

Wang shi frowned, let alone Gu Yin.

It is indeed normal for a boat to go to sea to accompany people, but what does it mean to recruit female workers?

Women are naturally weak, and they are not as useful as men.

Unless…

She asked people again with a dignified expression, and after she knew that the ship was opened by the godson of the court **** and the formalities were complete, she did not ask any further.

This world really wants to eat people!

After leaving the pharmacy, Gu Yin proposed: "Mother, although the work introduced by the aunts is not reliable. But since we have all come out, we should visit the uncle's house. ."

Wang was still recalling the two sister-in-laws who encouraged her to become a female worker, and when she heard the words, she responded: "They are doing such a bad time, we have to spend money to entertain us when we go there rashly. And we didn't say that we would come to the door when the two sisters-in-law came before, and we had to trouble them to prepare now if we went so rashly."

What Gu Yin wanted was just such a "risky". It doesn't matter, but Wu An and I are juniors. If we don't go to see the ceremony, we will not have enough courtesy. Besides, I am also curious about what your other relatives are like, and want to see if they are as good as you. "

Wang was smoothed out by her words. Although it was strange that her daughter-in-law suddenly talked about etiquette, she still reluctantly bought half a catty of ugly oranges and half a catty of pears on the street, "Then let's Just sit and talk for a while, not eat there."

Afterwards, Wang shi asked passers-by and took them there according to the location of the old house in memory.

After half an hour, the three of Gu Yin finally arrived at the Wang family's old house.

The Wang family didn't lie, the Wang family was an impressive family in Hanshan Town.

However, it has really fallen into disrepair over the years.

Muttering: "This house is probably sold to others, I don't know if I can find out their new residence" and knocked on the door.

After a while, an old housekeeper responded slowly, and when he saw her, he was pleasantly surprised: "Miss is back!"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she saw it, and said, "Uncle Zhong!"

Uncle Zhong cheerfully responded, and quickly opened the door and invited them in.

At this time, in the Wang family's house, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zou were sitting and talking together.

Zhao looked at Zou with some resentment and said, "Why didn't my brother and sister let me persuade her to apply for the application? Once the contract is signed, we don't have to care about her."

But her daughter-in-law is ill, let's talk more, but it's about to reveal the truth!"

"What can she reveal? She hasn't come back for so many years and has been a peasant woman for half her life. What can she know?"

Everyone is saying that it is a good job for the ocean-going shipping line to recruit female workers, but the Wang family is better informed than the average person, knowing that the ocean-going shipping line has recruited people in other places a few years earlier, and the result is that those female workers Go or not return, live without people, die without corpses.

Later, the families of the female workers started making trouble, but the ocean-going shipping line only said that there was a plague outside, so they didn't even dare to bring the corpse back.

Then they were paying a sum of money, and they were endorsed by the powerful eunuchs. They put all the troublemakers in jail, and the matter was over.

Because of this incident, ocean-going shipping lines are notorious in large places like the capital, so they had to go to small places like Yuanshan County and Hanshan Town to recruit people.

"Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry," Mrs. Zou picked up the tea cup and slowly dipped the foam with the tea lid, "Let us men go together later, just because I heard that his daughter-in-law is not healthy. It was a special visit to take care of.”

The Zhao family also thinks about it, and the words of a sister-in-law are naturally not as useful as a real brother.

At this time, Uncle Zhong's excited voice came from outside.

The old man was really happy, shouting "Your honored guest!" while trotting.

"Why did this old lunatic come out again?" Mr. Zou put down the tea cup heavily, frowning in displeasure.

Uncle Zhong was an old servant of the Wang family, and he followed the old man of the Wang family when he was a child.

Since the second old man passed away, this old servant has lost his mind and cannot listen to others.

The two families wanted to drive him away, but the elders in the helpless clan all remembered him, so it was not easy to do such a heartless thing, and only drove him to the firewood house Come, give some cold meals and cold dishes, and keep it as a watchdog.

Yesterday I heard that Mrs. Wang was back, Mrs. Zou had already explained to the concierge that if a stranger came to look for him, he would say that the owner had changed, but he didn’t expect this old lunatic to run out again.

"I don't know who is coming."

While talking, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zou went out of the house, and the rest of the family also came out when they heard the noise. After a while, everyone arrived at the gate.

The two families are three generations in the same house, and there are twenty or thirty people in total.

At first, Wang Shi couldn't help laughing when she saw Uncle Zhong's happiness, but when she saw the clothes of the twenty or thirty people, she couldn't laugh—

The Zhao family and the Zou family at the beginning were still wearing old clothes that were gray in the morning, while the other younger daughters-in-law in the family were all silk and satin. A set of red gold head and face, a thumb-sized gold and jade bracelet on the wrist.

This is what her two old sisters-in-law said about the house where she couldn't open the pot and couldn't eat? !

Wang clenched his back molars angrily.
