Chapter 217 It’s Ridiculous
Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er specially brought Chunfen to guard outside the back door of Zeng's house.
Xu Zhichun bribed the maid at the back gate of Zeng's house and asked her to help find out what was going on inside. If the sisters Zeng Xiaoyan and Zeng Xiaojuan were bullied, please inform them immediately.
The old woman took the money just to help pass on the news, so of course she had no objection.
The old woman felt a little emotional. She didn't expect that the second and third young ladies could make such good friends.
Mrs. Zeng was surprised to see the sisters Zeng Xiaoyan and Zeng Xiaojuan coming to her house, but she also felt a little happy and proud. She looked at Zeng Xiaoyan coldly and sneered: "I thought you were so stubborn and had the ability to never set foot in the Zeng family in your life. What's the point of doing this?"
How come you contradict yourself so quickly?
Zeng Xiaoyan smiled and said, "My sister has something to ask Madam Zeng, so I am just here to accompany her. We sisters don't dare to waste Madam Zeng's time. Sister, please get down to business."
Although there is only one word difference between "Madam" and "Mrs. Zeng", it sounds extremely harsh to Mrs. Zeng's ears.
Privately, she did not allow Zeng Xiaoyan and her sister to call her mother, and only allowed them to call her Madam, but Madam Zeng really did not sound good.
Zeng Xiaojuan plucked up her courage, raised her head and timidly looked at Mrs. Zeng, clenched her fists, thought about her precious daughter and her new life after remarrying, she really wanted to get rid of everything in front of her.
"Madam, please sever ties with me as well."
“.”
Mrs. Zeng suspected that there was something wrong with her ears today. "What did you say?"
"Please, Madam, sever ties with me!"
"You—are so outrageous!"
Mrs. Zeng felt a rush of hot blood to her head, and she felt dizzy and dizzy with anger.
Rebellion!
It's really the opposite!
Not to mention that the third girl has been rebellious since she was a child, she is not worth mentioning either. The second girl has been timid since she was a child. When she sees people, she hunches her shoulders and hunches her back, and dares not even raise her head. Her voice is quieter than the hum of a mosquito. She is such a coward, and she actually dares to say such words!
This is a slap in her face.
"Who taught you? Huh? Who taught you?"
Zeng Xiaojuan gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, you don't like me in the first place, so why keep me around as an eyesore? Please, Madam, please sever ties with me. Please, Madam!"
“.”
Mrs. Zeng almost broke her teeth.
Bastard! Absolutely bastard!
How dare she! How dare she?
Does she deserve it?
Pooh!
Seeing Mrs. Zeng's gnashing teeth and changeable expression, Zeng Xiaojuan felt a little frightened and puzzled, and looked at her third sister for help.
Zeng Xiaoyan was also very puzzled.
It shouldn't be like that.
Shouldn't Mrs. Zeng make some sarcastic remarks and then happily agree to kick the two sisters out of the house, so that they would have nothing to do with the Zeng family and would never get in her way again?
Zeng Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Mrs. Zeng, are you reluctant to let it go? That's really strange."
"snort!"
Mrs. Zeng felt very aggrieved.
She couldn’t bear to do it? What a joke!
She was eager to do so.
But she knew she couldn't do that.
Zeng Xiaoyan's previous incident was all due to her impulsiveness, but she later came to her senses. After all, she was a married concubine's daughter, so she wouldn't be a bother to her anymore. As long as she had a status, she could always take control of her. Isn't this better?
When the master asked about the third girl before, she almost couldn't cover it up and evade the question. Now there is no way she can agree to the second girl no matter what.
But I feel so angry and aggrieved.
She could dislike them, reject them, and tell them to go away, but when was it their turn to dislike the Zeng family? Were they worthy?
Madam Zeng said coldly, "You eat and wear the Zeng family's clothes and use the Zeng family's things. Now that you've grown up and become independent, you want to just walk away and get rid of the Zeng family? How can such a good thing happen? Whether you are willing to be ungrateful or not depends on my permission. There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. It's impossible. Get out!"
Zeng Xiaoyan was stunned: What's going on?
Isn't this right?
Zeng Xiaojuan's expression changed and she became anxious: "Madam doesn't like me anyway, why bother—"
"Humph, I don't like you, but you can't escape from the Zeng family!"
Zeng Xiaoyan suddenly had an idea and felt that she had grasped the key. She looked at Madam Zeng and said, "Madam Zeng, please give me a price. How much silver do you want?"
"What?"
"You should eat the Zeng family's food, wear the Zeng family's clothes, and use the Zeng family's things. Madam Zeng, how much silver do you think is enough? We will give it to you in exchange for a letter of severance."
Zeng Xiaojuan also showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and looked at Mrs. Zeng nervously and expectantly.
She will pay Xiaoyan back slowly in the future.
"You—how can you be so unreasonable!"
Mrs. Zeng was so angry that she slammed the coffee table. How much silver?
Who is this humiliating?
Mrs. Zeng never dared to imagine that one day she would be hit with silver by the two concubines whom she looked down upon.
"Get out! Get out! Don't even think about this!"
Zeng Xiaoyan sneered: "I didn't expect Madam Zeng to be so reluctant to part with my sister."
"roll!"
Nanny Fang coldly called for help and forcibly drove Zeng Xiaoyan and her sister out.
"How about it?"
"Is it done? Is it done? Oh, it doesn't matter. In the future, we still have you. We are all good sisters. In the future, we will support each other and help each other. It's no worse than my mother's family."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Zeng Xiaoyan and Zeng Xiaojuan were speechless
Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er were both surprised to learn that the plan had not succeeded.
Why didn't Madam Zeng let him go? That's strange.
Zeng Xiaojuan had been a bit nervous before coming here, but now she only hated herself for not being able to fulfill her wish. She forced a smile and said, "Forget it, if it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. It doesn't really matter anyway."
Zeng Xiaoyan nodded: "This is the only way. If she calls you back for no reason in the future, you must tell me."
"good."
In the blink of an eye, it is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Every household bought mooncakes.
Xu Zhichun had also planned to buy it, but he didn't expect that he would not need it at all.
Madam Qin sent Nanny Xi to come personally to give Xu Zhichun a holiday gift.
Moon cakes, freshly picked grapes, tangerines, osmanthus candy, tea leaves, and two neatly cut pieces of pork belly weighing about ten pounds, all packaged in an exquisite and beautiful way.
Xu Zhichun prepared a basket of tomatoes, two live chickens, fifty eggs, and half a basket of strawberries as return gift.
With her meticulous care, watering, fertilizing, and care, the slow-growing strawberries finally reached maturity. Gradually, they expanded and changed color, gradually transitioning from pink to a vibrant red, a flawless, true crimson. Holding a perfectly round, triangular strawberry in my hand, the faint, sweet aroma of the fruit lingered, intoxicating. A bite revealed the plump, juicy flesh, a delicious and satisfying flavor that left me wanting more.
The strawberries are ripe, and this small patch in the backyard is covered with densely packed bright red fruits, which are extremely tempting.
Zeng Xiaoyan, Zhu'er Xiaoshen, Liang Mingliang and Chunfen were among the first group of people to have tasted it, and they all loved it.
Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhuer have already cut a lot of new strawberry plants and brought them home to cultivate them like treasures.
Xu Zhichun also gave Chunfen a dozen plants to take back and give to her mother to plant.
Now that the fruits are ripe, Xu Zhichun will have a way to cheat. There is plenty of space in the warehouse, so it doesn't matter as long as the mixing is not too outrageous.
