Chapter 408 The Vain Little Aunt 8
The premise is that no one else can know about it. Mrs. Xiang is surprised why Xiang Qingcao is so generous.
But she still made arrangements happily. Before, Xiang Qingcao was getting married, and Xiang Pozi didn't prepare anything.
When it came to Xiang Yun, he started to help out in various ways to get benefits, and he even wanted to empty out the house to support Xiang Yun.
What happened next was that Xiang Yun was married off as a substitute, and Xiang Qingcao deliberately broke her head to show that it was not her intention to be married off as a substitute.
Xiang Yun has already married, the matter is set in stone, and Xiang Qingcao has cleared himself of the mistake.
She dreamed sweet dreams for the old woman, imagining that her daughter would live the good life of a young lady.
But the truth about the substitutionary marriage could not be hidden. Less than ten days later, the eldest son of the Su family passed away. The Su family believed that Xiang Yunke was the one who killed the eldest son of the Su family.
Xiang Yun received a lot of strange looks in the Su family, and was bullied in various ways by the Su couple. Mother-in-law Xiang wanted to go and see her daughter.
When he found out that Xiang Yun was not living well in the Su family, he even went to the government office to demand an explanation from the Su family.
The Su family simply drove Xiang Yun back to the Xiang family. However, Xiang Yun showed great confusion about Xiang Po's behavior.
She was clearly the young lady of the Su family, but was forced by Mrs. Xiang to come back and be a village girl.
Similarly, Xiang Pozi didn't understand why her daughter insisted on being a widow in the Su family.
I clearly had good intentions for Xiang Yun, but she didn't appreciate it at all and even complained to me when she returned to her parents' home.
However, Mrs. Xiang was only angry for two or three days, but when she thought of her most beloved daughter, she instantly softened her heart.
"Mom, what are you talking about? The Wang family is Xiang Qingcao's maternal family. If Xiang Qingcao really wants to marry, they must go before me. I don't want to marry anyone casually. I also want to be with you more. If I don't like it, don't force me."
Azhi had no intention of marrying a sickly man.
It would be better to let things go on the right track as they should be.
Listening to her daughter's heartwarming words, Xiang looked at the mother-in-law with tender eyes.
"Good child, your mother's love for you is not in vain. By the way, your third brother sent back some silver a few days ago. It's quite a lot of silver, a full five taels of silver. I plan to buy you a new set of clothes. My daughter must dress up beautifully."
Xiang Youshou did not split up the family, but he has been traveling around the country doing small business in recent years.
No one knew what kind of business Xiang Youshou was doing, but all we knew was that he never gave a penny to his family.
This caused Zhou Xing'er to be very dissatisfied with Xiang Youshou.
However, since Xiang Youshou had left home and only came back a few times a year, and only came back during the Chinese New Year, Zhou Xing'er had nothing to say.
Although they didn't split up the family, they also didn't eat and drink for free at home.
In private, Xiang Youshou is very filial to his parents.
These five taels of silver are really not a small amount.
Seeing that the woman was about to take out the silver, Ah Zhi reached out his hand helplessly to stop her.
"Mom, no need. I already have three new sets of clothes this year. Compared to other people in the village, I'm already doing pretty well. People say behind my back that I'm about to become a young lady, which is not nice."
There are a lot of people who like to gossip in the village.
Others can't afford to feed a girl with multiple mouths, but this mother-in-law treats her daughter as her treasure. It's inevitable that some people will feel uncomfortable seeing this and naturally gossip about her behind her back.
He patted his chest and snorted coldly.
"Bah, I wonder who dares to gossip about you behind your back. If I knew, I would tear those people's stinky mouths to pieces. Your family is incompetent, but you are jealous of me for being nice to the girl?"
For the sake of her precious daughter, Xiang Pozi often fought with the gossips in the village.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Even if the sky falls, I will support you. No one can hurt my daughter."
Mrs. Xiang never took the initiative to mention that Xiang Youshou had handed over any money.
Apart from her own precious daughter, Xiang Pozi's favorite person is Xiang Youshou.
Similarly, her desire to control Xiang Youshou is terrifying.
In the plot, Xiang Youshou brought back a woman, and she and Xiang Youshou had already been married at her parents' home.
The girl was already an orphan. Her father had passed away three months ago. Before his death, he arranged for his daughter to marry Xiang Youshou and paid for the wedding for the two of them out of his own pocket.
It's just that things happened so fast that I didn't have time to contact Xiang's family.
This matter was not told to Mrs. Xiang in advance.
Thinking that her son had no one he liked, Mrs. Xiang wanted to find a wealthy family for Xiang Youshou.
It just so happened that Miss Wang from the town was about to choose a husband, and Xiang Pozi couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Who would have thought that Miss Wang really fell in love with Xiang Youshou. She thought the matter was a done deal, but unexpectedly a woman showed up halfway.
The other party was pregnant, which made Xiang Pozi very unhappy. She looked at the woman Youshou brought back with displeasure in various ways.
It's just that women are weak in nature and are easy to bully. At the beginning, Xiang Pozi ridiculed her with words, found fault with her everywhere, and belittled her as not worthy of Xiang Youshou.
Seeing Xiang Youshou taking great care of the woman, she didn't expect Xiang Pozi to start acting like a mother-in-law.
All the housework was left to the woman, causing her to give birth to a weak baby prematurely.
Xiang Youshou was heartbroken by his parents and chose to move out with his wife and children.
When Xiang Qingcao was making a fuss about splitting up the family business, Zhou Xing'er instigated Xiang Youlu to follow suit.
Only Xiang Youshou chose to stay because he felt sorry for his parents. However, looking at the miserable condition of his wife and children now, he thought that his soft-heartedness at the time was a joke.
At that time, everyone in the village was laughing at the Xiang couple behind their backs, saying that they had broken the hearts of their three sons for a piece of money-losing merchandise.
Mrs. Xiang and old man Xiang have a hard life. Xiang Yun dreams of rising to a rich and powerful position every day and doesn't care about her parents' feelings at all.
She always made promises to Mrs. Xiang, saying that if she could get married, she would definitely make the old couple live a good life. Mrs. Xiang and Old Man Xiang never blamed their daughter until their death.
"Mother, it's great to have you. This time, the money that Third Brother sent back doesn't need to be used to buy me clothes. Mother and father should buy them."
Azhi hugged Xiang Pozi and started to act coquettishly, which made Xiang Pozi's eyes full of pampering.
"Oh, Yunyun is such a filial child. She even thinks about her parents. I am so relieved."
It was clearly the silver that Xiang Youshou sent back, but the person did not receive a single word of praise from Xiang Po-zi.
Ah Zhi had only said a few nice words, but Xiang Po-zi wanted to praise her to the sky.
Mrs. Xiang was still thinking about the work in the fields, but she still forced half a tael of silver on Azhi before leaving.
"Take the money and save it. I see that your eldest brother and second brother's families are not getting along. If they really quarrel and want to split up the family, your life will not be as good as it is now. You should save more money for yourself."
Even though Ahzhi tried to refuse, Xiang Po forced it on her.
After watching Mrs. Xiang pick up the hoe and leave, Azhi returned to the room and put the money away.
Just as Azhi locked the cabinet, there was an unexpected knock on the door, followed by Wang Lan's cautious voice.
"Little sister, are you in the room?"
Azhi stood up, opened the door and looked at Wang Lan.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Normally, Wang Lan would not take the initiative to talk to others. She was very self-conscious due to the birthmark on her face, and she always kept her head down when walking on the street.
Not to mention that Zhou Xing'er is also a person with harsh words. Every time she sees Wang Lan, she will make sarcastic remarks and always pick on the birthmark on Wang Lan's face.
Azhi's eyes are as clear as water, just like a pool of spring water without impurities.
Although the other person's eyes were also on her face, Wang Lan keenly noticed that she had no ill intentions.
Xiang Yun is indeed lazy at home. She watches the conflicts at home coldly and often acts as if she has nothing to do with it.
However, when Xiang Yun was a child, she had no milk to drink, and Xiang Po was an old clam that gave birth to a pearl but had no milk.
It just so happened that Wang Lan had plenty of milk after giving birth to Xiang Qingcao, so Wang Lan kept Xiang Yun by her side until she was weaned.
Since she was a child, she has been accustomed to the birthmark on Wang Lan's face. To others, Wang Lan looks scary, but to Xiang Yun, it makes no difference.
This made Wang Lan feel somewhat favorable towards Azhi, and she couldn't help but think of the fact that she had supported him for some time.
"I'm going to take Qingcao to town to see a doctor. Aren't you going to town to sell handkerchiefs? I thought we should go together so that we can look after each other."
Ah Zhi thought of the ten handkerchiefs she had embroidered and realized that her Suzhou embroidery was unique.
This time the handkerchief is double-sided with three different embroidery.
On one side is a lifelike butterfly, and on the other side is a delicate and pearly stamen.
On one side is a cute and adorable raccoon cat, and on the other side is the amazing sight of white snow and red plum blossoms.
……
Each of the ten handkerchiefs is different, and the embroidery on them is unique.
Even an embroiderer with superb skills cannot embroider the essence of her work. She plans to take it to the town and sell it for a high price.
At the same time, thinking that he really had no money now, it was a good decision to go to the town with Wang Lan.
She nodded towards Wang Lan and said, "Sister-in-law, wait for me. I'll pack my things first."
"it is good."
Seeing Azhi go back to the room to pack up, Wang Lan also went back to the room to pack up.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiang Qingcao frowning and asking in confusion, "What did mother do just now? Why did she take my aunt with her when she went out for no reason?"
"You really don't mind the trouble. When grandma comes back and finds out that you took your aunt out, she will definitely be worried about you."
This time when I go to the town, Xiang Qingcao was planning to buy some things. Now, wouldn't it be an extra trouble if I bring Azhi along?
I was also planning to buy some sugar to make something, and if Azhi saw it, he would definitely tell Mrs. Xiang.
Xiang Qingcao was worried that his plan would be exposed and all the money in his hands would be snatched back before he could even warm it up.
Don’t even mention how nervous Mrs. Xiang was about Xiang Yun. She took Xiang Yun out without even saying hello. It’s a good thing nothing happened.
If something happened, even if Xiang Yun just got a little skin broken, Mrs. Xiang would definitely make Wang Lan suffer.
Wang Lan packed up the things in her hands but didn't care.
"You can't walk now, so I'm going to hire a bullock cart. I just happened to think that your aunt is going to town to sell handkerchiefs, so what's wrong with taking one more person with her?"
Thinking of how Azhi has taken care of her and her daughter during this period, Wang Lan couldn't help but think of her sister-in-law when she was a child.
My sister-in-law was born beautiful, fair and tender, just like a doll in a New Year picture.
The first "mother" she called when she was a child was directed at herself, but it was because of this that she made Mrs. Xiang angry.
Seeing that Wang Lan's soft-hearted nature had recurred, Qingcao's complaints turned into sighs.
Azhi packed up her things and walked out of the room. Wang Lan and Xiang Qingcao, who were outside, were stunned when they saw her.
This person who has always been high-profile actually covered his face today.
It turned out that Azhi covered the lower half of her face with a handkerchief.
However, the upper half of her face is still very attractive, and her beautiful rippling eyes are like hooks that make people fall in love with her at first sight.
Even though most of her face was covered, it still couldn't hide her slim figure and fair skin.
Ah Zhi took in the amazement of the mother and daughter, and walked forward to them with a smile on her face, speaking gently.
"Sister-in-law, Qingcao, let's go."
"Oh, OK, OK, OK. I have already spent two copper coins to hire an oxcart, which can take us to town. However, the oxcart will be bumpy and will be tiring."
Wang Lan looked at Azhi's petite figure and felt the pain of riding in the bumpy ox cart.
My sister-in-law is really frail.
No matter what you do, you'll always get hurt.
If Azhi knew what Wang Lan was thinking, he would definitely laugh.
Xiang Yun is indeed weak, but she is not a porcelain doll that will break at the slightest touch.
I just want to be lazy and not do anything, so I try to cheat and slip away every day.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Thanks for the trouble."
Hearing Azhi thanking Wang Lan, Xiang Qingcao at the side could not believe his ears.
She had been the other party's little follower and maid for more than ten years. How could she not know what kind of person Xiang Yun was?
Relying on her good looks, she dreamed of flying onto a tree and becoming a phoenix.
In her eyes, she is the most important person in the family, and everyone else deserves to work hard.
It’s really strange. Why do so many things seem to have changed after I got sick?
Noticing that Xiang Qingcao was walking beside him in a daze, Azhi approached her and spoke softly.
"What's wrong? Are you still not well?"
In response to Azhi's concerned inquiry, Xiang Qingcao came back to his senses and blinked.
"I'm fine. I'm much better now. I'm going to see a doctor today. It's not good to lie in bed every day. I'm almost going to mold."
"Um...thank you for your concern, aunt."
Thinking that Azhi had indeed taken care of him, Xiang Qingcao still thanked him awkwardly.
In fact, Xiang Qingcao has never liked Xiang Yun. She thinks she has ulterior motives and always wants to take shortcuts. People like her will easily suffer big losses in the future.
Just thinking about the eggs she had been eating for more than ten days, she felt that the other person might not be as hopeless as she had imagined.
Forget it, if the other party has really gone astray, I will help her then, as if it were repaying the favor I owe her now.
Xiang Qingcao figured it out and stopped worrying about it.
"I'm glad you're okay. If you feel uncomfortable, don't keep it to yourself. You must take good care of yourself."
The three of them arrived at the town unknowingly. Today was not a market day, so the town was not particularly crowded, but it was still quite lively.
Wang Lan took Xiang Qingcao to the clinic, and Azhi followed her memory to the embroidery workshop.
Originally, Wang Lan was worried about letting Azhi go to the embroidery workshop alone, so she thought about accompanying Azhi to the workshop first, and then taking Xiang Qingcao to the clinic. However, Azhi refused.
