Chapter 631 Unusual Events
“Your uncle is someone who cares about other people’s affairs, but not about his own. I once mentioned that he should get married.”
"He said that's fine, your cousin Tingting is enough, and he doesn't plan to remarry. Listen to what he said."
“Your cousin Tingting will get married someday. After your grandmother passes away, she will be all alone. Your uncle is still young. If he marries another woman, they can have more children and the house will be more lively.”
Du Mingxian understood. Her mother was a traditional woman, so it wasn't surprising that she would say such a thing. "Mother, after Sister Tingting gets married, Uncle will be lonely. What about you?"
“Me? I’ll stay with your grandmother. After she passed away, I thought I’d help you take care of your children. If I can’t help you take care of your children, I’ll buy a place close to your house and hire two maids to help you.”
Du Mingxian felt that Madam Zhou was running away, "Then Uncle can stay at the house and hire a few servants, so he won't be lonely either."
“It’s different. There’s a difference between family members and servants. Before, I always thought they were all people. What’s the difference between servants and masters? But when I started earning money, I immediately realized the difference.”
"Having someone you can talk to is the best thing," said Madam Zhou, her eyes filled with envy.
Du Mingxian didn't offer any words of advice. "Since Mother has this idea, she can mention it to Uncle and Grandma. They will definitely agree."
“Your maternal grandmother said that after experiencing the ups and downs of her family, she knew that as long as her family members were safe and sound and lived happily, nothing else mattered.”
I'm afraid it's just that Old Mrs. Xu doesn't know how to manage Xu Dazhuang's affairs, after all, this family has no blood relation whatsoever.
"If Mother has an idea, just persuade her more, and Uncle will definitely agree."
“Yes, that’s what I think too.” After saying that, Madam Zhou waved her hand. “Forget it, let’s not talk about these things. Wait a moment.”
Du Mingxian saw Da Zhou crawl under the bed and quickly pull out a large box. After opening the box, there was cloth on top. She took out the cloth little by little, and at the bottom was a small box.
She took out the box and put it in Du Mingxian's hand, saying, "Take this money. Although I haven't saved much over the years, it's enough for you to have in case of emergencies."
"Mother." Du Mingxian was so moved that she didn't know what to say and just stared blankly at Madam Zhou.
Madam Zhou chuckled and shook her head. "Don't blame your mother. We know about your husband's family. I went there and gave them a hundred taels of silver. That was because you are a daughter-in-law of the Ling family. Any more... I don't want to give. I just want to keep it for you."
“Take this money. Only you and Silang know the truth about what happened between you. If you want to give it to the Ling family, your mother won’t say anything. If you want to keep it for yourself, that would be even better.”
Du Mingxian felt a lump in her throat and her nose sting. Her mother used to be a very simple and honest person, but after experiencing all sorts of things, she also learned to weigh things carefully.
Growth is good, but behind growth lies heartache and painful realization.
"Thank you, Mother. Keep this money; I have more."
“Take this. You’re my only daughter. If I don’t give my money to you, who else can I give it to?” Madam Zhou forced the money to Du Mingxian. “I couldn’t give you a good life before.”
"Later, your maternal grandmother and the others found your mother, and that's how we got to live such a good life. Keep this money. From now on, your mother's money will be divided into two parts. One part will be kept for you, and the other part I want to keep for your maternal grandmother."
Du Mingxian chuckled, not knowing what to say about Madam Zhou. "Alright, I'll keep the money for now."
"You should have kept it."
Seeing Du Mingxian put the silver away, a smile appeared in Madam Zhou's eyes, and she also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Du Mingxian would not accept her silver.
"Are you going back tonight? Or should we stay in the county?"
“Mom, we have to go back tonight. My mother-in-law’s condition is not very good. She can’t be left alone at home. Because my father-in-law keeps looking for doctors for her, she doesn’t want to see him.”
“My other brothers and sisters-in-law are all busy; I haven’t seen them since I got back.”
Madam Zhou could understand, but seeing her daughter, she still wanted to be with her. "Alright, you should go back. Things at home are indeed important. Your mother-in-law is such a good person, how could such a thing happen?"
"Does Mother know anything about this?"
Madam Zhou asked in surprise, "Didn't anyone in the family tell you?"
“My father-in-law said some things, and my mother told me about them. Let’s see if what you said is the same as what my father-in-law said.”
Sometimes, gossip can circulate in many different versions.
“Some people are jealous that your husband’s family can make money, so they conspired with bandits to trick your mother-in-law, take the person away, and then make your father-in-law and the others pay money to ransom the person.”
"When we got there, we didn't get the person back, and we even lost the money. The news spread like wildfire, throughout the county. Luckily, the Ling family lived in the village."
“Even if the villagers gossip, as long as your mother-in-law doesn’t leave the yard, no one can say anything to her. But there are even worse rumors, saying that your mother-in-law was defiled by those bandits.”
Du Mingxian's face darkened. "Mother, we will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"The government officials also investigated at the time, but they found nothing." Madam Zhou was unaware of Du Mingxian and Ling Silang's abilities, and only thought that Ling Silang was trying to investigate because of his status as a scholar.
"Don't worry, Mother. We have our own methods. Such a big thing has happened in the family, and we still haven't been able to find out the truth. If the government can't find out the justice, we'll find it ourselves and seek it ourselves."
"But we don't know where these bandits have gone now, is that alright?" Madam Zhou hoped to find out, after all, the Ling family had been bullied badly, but she was also afraid that something might happen to her daughter.
Du Mingxian nodded, "Mother, don't worry, nothing will happen. Those people who dare to do such things should be prepared to be retaliated against by us."
"Alright then, my safety is the most important thing. Nothing is more important than my own safety."
"Don't worry, Mother, I will take good care of myself."
“Think more about the children.” When the children were mentioned, Madam Zhou became a little angry. “You just go out and don’t write home often. You didn’t even tell us about such a big thing as pregnancy and childbirth. I must have been so worried.”
"I'm sorry, Mom, it's our fault. We thought that if we told the family, you would definitely worry, so we might as well face it ourselves. Anyway, we were going to come back, and we could talk to you about the child when we got back."
"How can that be the same? If you had told me you were pregnant beforehand, I could have been there to watch you give birth."
