Because Tang Yongli had earned money from doing business, the Tang family had never been very attentive in serving him, always thinking about making some easy money.
The second son, Tang Yonggui, ran away several years ago, saying that he was doing business with someone else. He was away from home for many years, but never brought a penny home. Even Li was disliked by Grandma Sun.
Especially since she gave birth to two daughters in succession. Before Wang returned to the village, she was the punching bag of Mrs. Sun and suffered all kinds of abuse. It was not until she gave birth to her son Xiaobao and Tang Yongli died that Li gradually extricated herself from the situation with Wang's hatred.
She came here today to persuade Mrs. Wang.
Tang Yongming just said that Tang Shiyue was good-looking the other day, and he turned around and asked about her... Li didn't dare to think too much about what was going on here.
After all, the first wife has no daughter, but the second wife has two daughters, Tang Shizhu and Tang Shiling. Tang Shiling is the same age as Tang Shiyue, and the oldest, Tang Shizhu, is already fourteen years old this year, which is old enough to get married.
So she was afraid that He was impatient and couldn't be persuaded, so she specifically asked for this task to persuade Wang.
The man of the family Tang Yongming inquired about was the big boss of a grain store in the town. His surname was Niu, and he was already fifty-six years old, one year older than Old Man Tang. The family had a little extra money, and had already taken seven or eight concubines, and he liked young girls.
Li spat in disgust, then put on a smiling face and opened the door: "Is your sister-in-law home?"
Wang looked up and came out with a look of surprise: "Second sister-in-law? How come you have time to come here?"
...
...
Li smiled and said, "Come and see you." She sat down in front of the couch and asked, "What are you busy with?"
"I'm not busy at all," Wang said. "I just made a piece of embroidery for a plain-looking lady, so I embroidered two flowers."
Chen Mama is actually a synonym for a menstrual belt. It is made by sewing a long pocket with a hole in the front. When menstruation comes, you fill it with plant ash and then you can use it. Because most of the cloth is old, it is called Chen Mama.
Li originally thought that Wang was doing embroidery, but she didn't expect that she was embroidering a menstrual belt, which was definitely not for sale.
Her two daughters have been staying at the village doctor's for three days, too sick to get up, but she is still at home embroidering the menstrual belt leisurely? She is really heartless. Li pursed her lips and praised with a smile: "My sister-in-law is always skillful, I can't do such delicate work."
Wang said shyly, "Yes."
Li's face froze. Who wouldn't be modest when saying this to anyone? But she just admitted it shyly... But after thinking about it again, she calmed down again. The dumber she was, the easier it would be to plot against her, right?
Li stopped talking nonsense and said slowly, "Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about what to do in the future when you live like this?"
Wang's face immediately became full of sorrow. She pulled out a handkerchief and started crying.
Li said softly, "Although Rong'er is smart, she is still young after all. With several women at home, you can imagine how difficult it is. It's okay for one or two days, but over a long period of time, the gossip alone will be difficult to deal with. If you ask me, this is not a long-term solution. You should think about it carefully..."
In fact, Wang has gradually come to her senses these days.
At home, she was beaten and scolded by Grandma Sun. No matter how spoiled she was, she had to do some washing and cleaning, and also had to take care of the children carefully. If she wanted to sit for a while, she had to sew. It was impossible for her to sit idle. The whole family's clothes were expected to be made by her...
But now that she has moved out, she is the mistress of the family, just like the ancestor of the family she used to serve. She is the eldest in the family, no one is in charge of her, she eats well, and no one can ask her to do housework. She doesn't have to worry about anything, except that she doesn't have as many clothes and jewelry as at home, but she is very comfortable.
So she didn't mention going back, and just said: "There's nothing I can do about it. It's my fate!"
"Don't say that!" Li said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too discouraged. As the old saying goes, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. Good days are still to come. Besides, you are well fed and clothed now. Who would have thought that Yue'er is so capable..."
"Don't praise her, that child has always been disobedient!" Wang said coldly: "Is it enough to have enough food and clothes? Half of the jewelry in my house is still in the hands of my mother! Look at my bald head and ears, you can see what kind of life I am living!"
Li said these words back and forth, and also tried out Wang's thoughts. She despised Wang in her heart, but her face became more sincere: "Yes, you are such a beautiful sister-in-law. I have only seen you in my life. You should be pampered. Make more colorful clothes for you, put more jewelry on your hair, ears and wrists, so as not to let down your natural good looks..."
Wang deeply agreed with this and said sadly, "It's a pity that I have a miserable life and my husband died early... I can only hope that Rong'er can become an official in the future and make more money!"
"That's right!" Li said, "Rong'er will definitely achieve something in the future, but these past two years have been difficult. If you ask me, you must take good care of the family so that Rong'er can study with peace of mind. So to put it bluntly, what we lack is money..." She finally got to the point: "I have an idea here. If you don't blame me, I'll tell you."
Wang said, "Second sister-in-law, just go ahead and say it."
Li whispered in her ear: "My uncle has met a noble man in the town..."
…………
Li was still a little surprised until she came out of the dilapidated house.
She had thought about it carefully before coming, and indeed felt that she could convince Wang, because Wang had always been weak, not very smart, and had no opinions. If she talked to her in detail, she was 90% sure that she would agree.
But she didn't expect that she would agree so easily.
She told him about his wealth, but before she could say anything, Wang frowned, thought about it, and agreed, whispering to her, "No matter where you go, it's better than suffering with us here. I, as a mother, will feel at ease."
Li was a little confused.
Why didn't she think about how she would live without Tang Shiyue? Even if the other party gave the Tang family more money, with a temper like that of Grandma Sun, how could she possibly fall into her hands?
If it were her, whether out of mother-daughter affection or out of calculation, she would never agree to send Tang Shiyue to someone as a concubine. She would have to find a way to expose Tang Shirong first.
When I think about it carefully, I can only say that Wang is too stupid. She couldn't understand such a simple situation. It's a pity for Yue'er.
Li shook his head.
Suddenly, Grandma Sun said, "Second son's wife!" Li was startled and raised her head quickly. Grandma Sun asked, "How is it? Has that unlucky guy let go?"
"She agreed," Li said with a gentle face, "She said that it doesn't matter where we go, it's better than having to suffer with her."
Mother Sun showed a contemptuous expression: "I told you long ago that this unlucky star is worse than a dog. Not to mention that damn girl, even Rong'er doesn't seem to care much about her. But one or two of them are still rushing to her. They will regret it one day!"
While muttering to herself, she went into the house to tell the good news to her youngest son.
