Chapter 222: Long Life
Xiao Tangbao came to Mrs. Su's room, and only Zhang Maiya and Chunya were left in her room.
Grandma Du slept in Old Lady Su's room, while Old Man Su and Uncle Du went to the woodshed where Su Xiaoliu lived.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Originally, Boss Su wanted to vacate the room for Uncle Du to live in, let Sister-in-law Su sleep in Xiao Tangbao's room, and he himself would sleep in the woodshed, but Uncle Du disagreed no matter what.
So, Old Mrs. Su and Grandma Du lived in one room, and Zhang Maiya and Chunya lived in another room.
"Third cousin, these things all belong to my cousin, right?" Chunya asked with burning eyes, looking at the boxes lined up on the ground.
Although I asked this, I was already sure in my heart.
After all, these things definitely don't belong to this third cousin's wife.
It is said that this third cousin's family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet.
"Well, these are all my aunt's." Zhang Maiya nodded and whispered.
Chunya couldn't help but ask again: "Cousin-in-law, can you open the box? I want to see it too."
Zhang Maiya shook his head apologetically, "The key is in your aunt's hands."
A hint of disappointment appeared on Chunya's face.
"What's in it?" Chunya continued to ask, "Third cousin should know, right?"
"Some materials and jewelry and the like." Zhang Maiya lowered his head and said lightly.
"What kind of material? Is it satin? And what about the jewelry? It should be gold, right? Are there any jade ones? I heard that the ladies of wealthy families all wear gold and jade jewelry..."
Chunya asked a series of questions.
Zhang Maiya raised her head, looked at Chunya, smiled slightly and said, "If you really want to know, why don't you go to that room and talk to mother and ask her to open the box for you."
Chunya, "..."
Of course she wanted to.
But if she told him, her grandmother would definitely scold her.
However, since she will stay for a while, there will always be a chance to see it.
As long as you coax your aunt and cousin, are you still afraid of not seeing them?
Not only can she see it, she can also ask for some.
After all, she is her aunt's niece.
Isn’t it normal for a niece to ask her aunt for things?
Chunya fell asleep happily with good wishes.
Zhang Maiya glanced at Chunya, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
In the east room, Old Mrs. Su and Grandma Du were chatting privately under the lamp.
"Miss, is there still no news about Sanhu?" asked Grandma Du.
Old Mrs. Su felt a pain in her heart. She lowered her eyelids to hide the tears in her eyes, then shook her head.
He did not tell Grandma Du that Su Lao San might have passed away.
Grandma Du sighed.
Although Old Mrs. Su didn't say it, but she has lived to such an old age, what could she not see?
"I think Sanhu's wife is a quiet and honest person. If I adopt a child to her in the future...it will be considered as completing Sanhu's family line."
"Nurse, let's talk about this later." Old Madam Su said, "I'm afraid the third family is..."
Old Mrs. Su paused when she said this.
"What's wrong?" Grandma Du asked suspiciously.
Mrs. Su shook her head. "It's nothing. After all, she and the third son are not married. She stayed in the Su family because she had nowhere else to go. If she wants to leave one day, I will naturally not stop her."
"Alas! This matter is all my fault." Grandma Du blamed herself, "It was me who wanted to marry Chunmiao to the third brother. It was also because Chunmiao was a good girl and her personality was not like your eldest sister-in-law... Little did I know that I was unable to control your eldest sister-in-law and let her sneak away. If your eldest sister-in-law hadn't come and made a fuss, the third brother wouldn't have..."
Grandma Du's eyes turned red and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Nanny, the third child's matter has nothing to do with you." Old Madam Su hurriedly comforted him, "You had good intentions at the time. Besides, the third child didn't leave home entirely because of the eldest sister-in-law's trouble."
"Miss, please stop talking. It's your wet nurse who has let you down." Grandma Du choked up and said, "They say you should marry a virtuous woman. I was wrong and married your eldest brother such a troublemaker..."
When Old Mrs. Su heard what Grandma Du said, she didn't know what to say.
Because of her sister-in-law, she hasn't returned to Hehuawu for many years.
The aunt and sister-in-law had a falling out at first.
"Nurse, sister-in-law..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore." Grandma Du took Old Lady Su's hand and said, "Fortunately, you are living a good life now. Even if the wet nurse is dead, I am relieved."
"Nurse, don't say that. You will definitely live a long life." Old Mrs. Su said hurriedly.
"What do you mean by longevity? Nanny only hopes that the young lady will get better and better, and that those people in the Duke of England's mansion will get worse and worse..."

After breakfast the next day, Grandma Du and Uncle Du prepared to go home.
"Mom, this meat has been air-dried. Take it home and enjoy it slowly... This bag of bird's nest was given to me by Tangbao's godmother. You can cook a bowl of it from time to time... With these pieces of fabric, you can make two sets of clothes for yourself, and a few more for my eldest brother and the children... These two chickens lay eggs every day. Don't be reluctant to give them away. Cook them and eat them every day... Oh, and there are two wild goats, one male and one female. Take them home and raise them..."
As Old Lady Su spoke, she packed almost half of the car with bits and pieces of things for Grandma Du.
Fortunately, Uncle Du came here in an ox cart, so he didn't have to worry about not having enough space.
Not only that, she also secretly put some silver in Grandma Du's bag.
She knew that if she gave it to the wet nurse openly, she would definitely not want it.
"How can I take so many things back? No way! Take them down quickly!" Grandma Du said, "Could it be that I came here to extort money and even steal my daughter?"
After saying this, Grandma Du insisted that her son take down all the things.
If she asked for so many things, she would be criticized in front of her son-in-law.
Although she knew that her son-in-law was a good person.
However, she couldn't help the young lady, nor could she hold the young lady back.
Old Mrs. Su hurriedly stopped Uncle Du.
"Mother, I'm living a good life now, and it's my duty to honor you." Old Mrs. Su said, "Just keep the things I give you."
Old Mrs. Su was grateful to the wet nurse from the bottom of her heart.
If it weren't for her wet nurse, she would have died long ago.
Old Man Su also said: "Mother-in-law, these are just some things from our home, please accept them."
After saying that, he asked his son to move a bag of flour and put it on the ox cart.
Seeing this, Grandma Du was both moved and relieved.
The son-in-law treats the young lady's family so well, which shows that he respects the young lady from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, seeing that the young lady's life was getting better and better, she felt relieved.
After Grandma Du got on the ox cart, she called Chunya again.
"Chunya, stop dawdling and get in the car!"
"Grandma, I'm not going back. Auntie told me yesterday to stay here as long as I want. I..."
"No! Your aunt's family is busy too, don't stay and cause trouble for them!"
Grandma Du interrupted Chunya without allowing any further comment.
She didn't think much of it before, but now it seems that this granddaughter's personality is too much like her eldest daughter-in-law.
Therefore, we must not let her cause trouble for the young lady here.
"Grandma, why am I causing trouble?" Chunya said unconvincedly: "I can help with the laundry and cooking, and I can also..."
"Chun Ya, if your grandma tells you to get in the car, just get in!" Uncle Du said in a deep voice.
Chunya looked at Old Mrs. Su with a look of grievance.
"aunt……"
"It's no use begging your aunt!" Grandma Du scolded, "Get in the car!"
Old Mrs. Su said gently, "Listen to your grandma and come live with your aunt when you have the chance."
After hearing this, Chunya had no choice but to get into the car reluctantly.
She just didn't understand why her grandma and her father wouldn't let her stay?
It seems that she can only go back and ask her mother for help.
Seeing this, Xiao Tangbao felt more and more that her grandmother was a sensible person.
She doesn't welcome this cousin to live in her house.
