Wang Xifeng moved her entire family to a place just two streets away from Lin Ruhai's house, and even sent Lin Ruhai an invitation when they moved.
Since Lin Ruhai was unable to move around easily, the task naturally fell to Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu.
Wang Xifeng was not surprised to see that only Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu came, and accepted it calmly, while Jia She sighed for a long time.
He greeted his relatives and friends as they came and went, leaning on his cane.
Lady Wang naturally wouldn't come, and Grandmother Jia was ill, so she certainly wouldn't come either. Only Tan Chun and Xi Chun came along.
When Shen Ajiao saw Tan Chun again, she was startled. Tan Chun looked listless and sat in the corner with a depressed expression.
In contrast, Yingchun was much more cheerful. Wang Xifeng held Yingchun's hand and introduced her to this and that.
What happened to poor Tan Chun? Was she abused?
Wang Xifeng glanced at Tan Chun, but there was nothing she could do to help!
Tan Chun trembled and lowered her head even further, while Xi Chun sighed repeatedly.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Lin Daiyu stepped forward with a smile, "It's been a long time. How have you been?"
Could it be that the King's Consort wants her to marry someone else?
Wang Xifeng: Mrs. Lin is incredibly shrewd!
Tan Chun: Waaah, I don't want to.
Lin Daiyu? How old is Tan Chun? Her second aunt is already telling her to get married? That's insane!
[Inhuman!]
"It's alright." Tan Chun didn't dare to say more, as saying too much would only cause trouble for others. Madam Wang was her legal mother, and with her father gone, she naturally had full authority to make her own decisions.
She was unwilling to marry a widowed man in his forties or fifties, a man who could be her father!
She asked around and found out that the man's youngest son was the same age as her!
How could she possibly accept this!
She has no choice but to marry him; what will happen to Huan-ge'er and his aunt?! Waaaaah...
Judging from Tan Chun's expression, Shen Ajiao was most likely right.
She had only heard a few days ago that Lady Wang had asked someone to arrange a marriage for Baoyu, but the person had refused. Why was she now asking him to marry Tanchun?
Where is Baoyu?
Tan Chun was taken aback. Ever since Bao Yu broke the jade last time, he had been mentally impaired at home, and Lady Wang had secretly arranged for someone to mend the jade.
Outsiders might not know, but she heard everything clearly. She even overheard that if the jade couldn't be repaired, she would have to marry off her husband so that Baoyu could have a new wife to bring him good luck.
Even if Baoyu can't go back to the way things were before, he can still have children.
Wealthy families have many ways to have children, so why would they marry her?
To put it bluntly, they're using her to curry favor with the ladies in the palace!
They eat their flesh and drink their blood. This is the kind of family they are. If Baoyu were a decent person, she would risk her life for him, at least to leave a way out for her aunt and Huan-ge'er. But now, Baoyu is either adorned with cosmetics or out having fun with men and women without any regard for propriety.
How could she be content with this!
If she could also venture out and go far away, she might very well carve out her own niche.
Go out into the world? Easier said than done.
[That conspicuous bag is really hard to kill; it can still be lively and energetic after taking so many hits.]
Are they really that hard to kill?
Everyone looked at Shen Ajiao in horror.
Shen Ajiao felt a chill down her spine. Had she done anything wrong?
Wang Xifeng stepped forward with a smile and whispered, "Mrs. Lin, I'd like to introduce you to someone."
Shen Ajiao was puzzled. Did she and Wang Xifeng have anyone they both knew? No, right?
After thinking it over, he still couldn't come up with an idea, but Wang Xifeng pulled him to the backyard, where he saw the person standing there.
? ? ?
Who is this old man?
What does she want with her?
Do they know each other?
Could it be my long-lost biological mother?
So, should she call her "mother" or "mom"?
Wang Xifeng smiled without saying a word, "Weren't you curious about who named Qiao'er last time? Now that you have the chance, I'll let you see."
Hearing these words, Shen Ajiao felt as if she were hearing heavenly music.
Is she Granny Liu?
[Haha, that scared me to death! I thought it was my mom!]
Wang Xifeng? So what unspeakable secret did she just overhear?
Was Mrs. Lin's mother not Mrs. Shen?
Is there anything she doesn't know about this?
People are naturally curious about secrets, and she is no exception. Otherwise, she could try to find out more about it.
"Mrs. Lin is Granny Liu."
"Grandma, this is Mrs. Lin, whom I told you about. We're best friends!"
I don't admit it!
Wang Xifeng: Isn't that right?
My favorite is Lin Baobao.
Wang Xifeng...
Grandma Liu stood in the courtyard, feeling a little awkward. She hadn't expected that her second aunt would invite her to come when she moved. It was truly a blessing.
Now that Second Grandmother wants to take her to meet some important person, it's like a miracle from heaven! She'll definitely praise that important person to the skies.
So upon seeing Shen Ajiao, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Mrs. Lin."
"I am from a small town and I don't know any manners. I hope Mrs. Lin will forgive me."
Shen Ajiao disagreed. At first glance, she felt that Granny Liu was a wise old woman, but it was a pity that she was born in a small place. If she were in a wealthy mansion, she might have achieved something great.
"Grandma, you're too kind. I've heard Second Grandma talk about you; you're an interesting person."
Granny Liu smiled modestly, "It's all thanks to Second Madam's care. Second Madam is so kind-hearted, otherwise our family would have starved to death long ago! I used to think that only Second Madam was a celestial being descended to earth, but after meeting Mrs. Lin today, I realize that celestial beings only associate with celestial beings!"
"For us peasants to even have the chance to meet them is truly a blessing from our ancestors! It's an eye-opening experience!"
Under the bombardment of Granny Liu's sweet talk, Shen Ajiao was so delighted that she almost gave all the good things in her pocket to Granny Liu.
If Wang Xifeng hadn't stopped her, Shen Ajiao would have kept calling Granny Liu "older sister" and insisting on taking her to stay at the Lin family's house for a few days.
This is one of her people.
"Grandma, next time you come, you must visit me at the Lin residence. I'll treat you to a good meal!"
Grandma Liu beamed with joy and readily agreed, but she didn't forget her status, "As long as Mrs. Lin doesn't mind, I'll definitely go a few more times!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
[If I ever fall on hard times, Grandma Liu might help me out because I've been so loyal, hahaha.]
Wang Xifeng looked at Shen Ajiao with a complicated expression. Who would be in such a sorry state as her? Besides, Granny Liu is just a village woman. How could she possibly save someone as wealthy as you?
Or should she also try to curry favor with Granny Liu?
What if?
Thus, although Granny Liu came to congratulate Wang Xifeng on her housewarming, she left with two carts full of things and several hundred taels of silver.
Shen Ajiao was overjoyed ever since she met Granny Liu, and this joy lasted until they returned to the Lin family. Even Lin Ruhai was curious and asked Lin Daiyu, "What's wrong with your wife?"
Looking at her jewelry, it's different from when she left the house.
Much less.
Lin Daiyu spread her hands, indicating that her wife had been cursed and was given gifts and money after being praised casually by an old woman.
I never expected my wife to be like this.
Lin Ruhai found it unbelievable. He had spent so much money, but his wife had never been so enthusiastic towards him. Heh... In the end, he had wasted his time.
