When she was held captive just now, she was so frightened. Now, at her parents' house, Mi Niang held her big fat son and told everyone about her childhood: "When I was a kid, I went out to play and rode a big rooster. My mother said that the big rooster helped me peck at bad people."
"You ride a big cock?" Fang Weiyan looked at her suspiciously.
"Didn't your mother-in-law say that you were very fat when you were a kid? If you sit on the big cock, won't it be pressed down so that the cock can't run?"
Mi Niang was so embarrassed that she got angry: "Humph, I was so skinny when I was little, what my mother was talking about was when I was gaining milk fat."
Fang Weiyan burst out laughing.
She is the only one who remains calm no matter what happens.
Mrs. Ding was frightened to death. "You'd better go out less in the future. Just like what Commander Gu said, what will you do if you are really retaliated by your followers?"
She knew her daughter very well. If she were a man, he would definitely be like Cao Mengde, cruel and ruthless, and not an ordinary person.
She actually felt that Fang Weiyan was more like her son. He had a lot of ideas in his heart, but he packaged himself as a harmless person.
Mi Niang smiled and said, "That commander Gu just said that. Besides, if the wall falls, everyone will push it. The evil monk is dead. Who dares to cause trouble under the imperial city? I won't give up because of choking. If I really meet with an accident, I won't be afraid. I won't shrink back because of a few thieves."
"Don't worry about it." Second Madam Ding was very anxious.
Fang Weiyan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will send more guards to protect her in the future."
Only when she heard that she had a son-in-law could the Second Wife feel relieved.
But just after sending away the troublesome daughter, another troublesome one came.
When Mrs. Ding Er saw that it was Madam Jian who came over, she sighed slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Of course she had heard about the Jian family's affairs. Although Ruan Jiading usually didn't inquire about information except for his own work, he was in the officialdom after all, and because he was eager to help others, he had many friends.
As for Ruan Jiading personally, if someone asks him for something, he will find someone to help.
But the matter of the Jian family might not be an ordinary one, and he was unwilling to be dragged into it, and so was Second Mistress Ding.
When she was young, she grew up without a father or a mother. Later, Mrs. Jane treated them just like that. When she needed help the most, no one helped her. Today, the person she wants to thank the most is not her mother but her daughter.
Only when the Jian family falls can she deal with Madam Zhang, the one who has tried to harm them time and again.
This Madam Zhang is apparently the real aunt of the Jian family. Madam Ding doesn't consider herself a person who repays evil with kindness. They are enemies to begin with, and she doesn't have any mother-daughter relationship with Madam Jian, so she won't care about the Jian family's affairs.
Mrs. Jian saw her and was a little dazed: "When Shu'er was a child, she had the closest relationship with her mother. When your father passed away, you were the one I missed the most."
Not knowing what to say now, Second Grandma Ding shook her head and said, "I don't remember anything that happened in the past. Life on earth is only a hundred years, and you and I have only been mother and daughter for a few years. It was only after I gave birth to my child that I realized that I would never abandon my child. I don't blame you, you have your own helplessness, but the time when I needed you has passed. Now I have my own sons, daughters and grandchildren, so it's useless for you to say this."
If Mrs. Jane had come back when she was sold to the landlord at the age of eighteen, she might still have had feelings for her and would have acknowledged her as her mother.
But it was already such a long time now, and Mrs. Jane might not have thought of her before, so why should she be like that?
Mrs. Jian said, "I know you don't care. I just said this on impulse. I didn't come here to say this on purpose."
"What do you want to see me for?"
Mrs. Ding had a premonition that Mrs. Jian must have something important to talk to her about, otherwise she was not a soft-hearted woman, nor was she a woman who really cared about feelings.
When she didn't recognize Mrs. Jane before, Mrs. Jane's attitude was to let her do whatever she wants and she didn't take her seriously at all.
Mrs. Jian took out a seal from her bosom and handed it to her: "This is some money I hid in secret. You can withdraw it with this seal. Don't rush to refuse. I know that your life is not easy. Because of Mi Niang's wedding, you still owe money to the bank. You still have two sons. Who doesn't want money when they get married and have children in the future? I give this money to you. When the storm is over, you can use it. It can also be regarded as my guilt for your past."
The temptation of money is indeed great. It is not easy to live in the capital. Ruan Jiading's salary is not much, but the main source of income is social interactions. Her daughter is marrying into a marquis's mansion, so she cannot go there empty-handed. Her two sons' education also costs a lot of money. Although Second Madam Ding now has a shop and land in her hometown, they are not enough to cover her expenses.
It seemed like yesterday when Mi Niang came back, her son-in-law was very thoughtful and specially gave red envelopes to his two brothers-in-law, each containing fifty taels.
But that's good for the daughter and son-in-law, it doesn't mean it's right to take the money.
But she still hesitated: "I don't need it, your money should be given to your son."
Mrs. Jian gave birth to several sons, and her sons had sons and grandsons. She paved the way for Jian Yuehua very well. Why should she give the money to her?
Now, Mrs. Ding is a little regretful that her daughter has left. Although her daughter is a little reckless, she is really brave and sharp in everything she does. Like Fang Weiyan, she likes to leave room for maneuver before doing things.
People like Mrs. Jian could obviously see that Second Madam Ding was actually indecisive, so she wanted to settle the matter without delay. If the Jian family really encountered an unexpected accident, then Second Madam Ding would definitely take care of the Jian family after receiving the money.
She continued to persuade him, "I have taken care of them for most of my life, and now the person I feel most sorry for is you. When Mi Niang got married, I also sent her a dowry, but you know she is stubborn and refused to accept my dowry. I know she was standing up for you and felt that you didn't deserve it. I am really happy for you that you have such a good daughter."
Hearing Madam Jian praising Mi Niang, Second Mistress Ding also felt proud. Her daughter didn't need those material things, and she had always been very good to her mother.
Whether it was when she first lived in the countryside or now, my daughter has always been very good.
"But you have to think about Mi Niang. Fang Weiyan is a son of a noble family. He is a man of noble character and treats Mi Niang very well. But he doesn't want the title. The inheritor of the title of a noble family inherits 70% of the wealth, and the 30% is divided equally among the sons. How much do you think will be left with Fang Weiyan? If you have money, you can help Mi Niang a little. Otherwise, when the family is divided, Mi Niang will have a hard time. As a mother, you should think about her, if not yourself. Mi Niang is very filial to you."
