Mo Ru Ru looked at the boy in front of her with a smile. To be honest, such a boy was worthy of her daughter. Unfortunately, her daughter was a wooden person now and had not opened her mind at all. She had already created a relationship of childhood sweethearts, but her daughter still ignored this boy. She was really angry and her heart ached.
She used to be bad at judging people, but Zichuan had been with her for six years and he had always been so gentle and polite. Even though his health was not very good, he had recovered now. Her Xiaoyu was just such a person, someone who could talk to her and not be too controlling.
"Aunt Mo, I heard some commotion outside, so I came out to take a look. I'm well-dressed, so I won't get sick. What happened? Why is there a matchmaker?"
There was a smile in the boy's eyes, but deep down there was indifference. He didn't expect that someone would actually dare to come.
"Oh, it's nothing. I don't know which big mouth said Xiaoyu was a money-making embroidery artist, and then some cats came sniffing the fishy smell. They're just some unpresentable people anyway, so they got kicked out."
Mo Ru Ru didn't care and casually told her about what happened before, especially the matchmaker who actually accepted marriage proposals from seven or eight families and came to her house to propose marriage. They were all shameless families. That's why she was so angry. She even disturbed her daughter. This person really deserved a beating.
The two talked for a while before returning home. After returning home, the boy sat under the eaves in a daze, with a light in his eyes that others could not understand. He glanced at the walls that had been raised again. Those people really looked like flies, which was really annoying.
Five-year-old Ruirui is now at an age that makes people dislike him. He plays tricks on dogs and chickens all day long, and Zhou Zhou is always away from home. He makes the house so messy that it is unbearable to look at. However, Aunt Niu, who is getting older, still lets Ruirui make trouble and then slowly cleans up the house.
During these five years, Aniu got married and had a son. They sold the house in the west of the city and borrowed some money from Wang Shiyu to buy a small three-room house in the east of the city. The house was not very big, but it was located in the downtown area, so they could build a small shed in the front room and Aunt Niu's daughter-in-law could do some small business.
Not only could they be closer to the Mo family, but also closer to their mother. It was precisely because of this house and Aunt Niu who worked for the Mo family that they were able to marry the daughter of a scholar during the famine years. The woman was literate, kind and gentle, and had the bookish air of a scholar. To be honest, it was really above the level for Aniu to marry such a woman. If the family could not afford food and her father was seriously ill and could not survive, Aniu probably would not have been able to marry her.
Ever since Aunt Niu signed the contract and entered the Mo family, she has seemed to live younger and younger. So Aniu did not dissuade his mother from going home to recuperate. Since she liked playing with the children at Wang's house, then she could stay there to play with the children. Aniu's wife directly asked her mother to take care of her during the confinement period. Even when the child was young, it was his mother-in-law who helped take care of him. The main reason was that his mother-in-law was an embroiderer. Later, when she was old, her eyesight was not very good, so she could only take on odd jobs. When she heard that her mother-in-law wanted to make money, she came directly with her luggage and started to take care of her daughter.
Moreover, Aniu's mother would give his wife two taels of silver every month so that her daughter-in-law could eat something good. Therefore, Aniu's daughter-in-law not only did not complain about her mother-in-law, but instead respected her even more. Aniu's mother-in-law was also more satisfied with this son-in-law. Although he was illiterate, he was a down-to-earth and hardworking person. He did not say empty words and treated his wife very well. He directly gave the power of the family to his wife.
Now Aniu no longer chops wood, but works directly as a waiter in a restaurant. Wang Shiyu even spared a few days to teach Aniu some Arabic numerals and the arrangement of account books, which were not available in this era. With this alone, Aniu is more than qualified to be an accountant. So he jumped directly from a waiter to an accountant, and he also gets a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver every month, which is also very stable.
So there was nothing else to do in Aniu's family. His wife was a reasonable person, and Aning was busy doing the accounts in the restaurant every day. When he returned home in the evening, he would pester his wife to start studying. Seeing that Aniu was so eager to learn, his wife also taught him little by little.
After Aniu's wife finished her confinement, she devoted herself to taking care of the child and taking care of Aniu's food, clothing and daily life. The two of them lived a happy life. His mother-in-law did not let her go home alone, but left her at home. After all, it was indeed dangerous to have only his wife and a hungry child at home.
Aunt Niu was also worried that no one would take care of her when she was old, so she only gave two taels of silver out of the three taels every month to her family, and deposited the remaining one tael directly in the bank. She thought that if her son and daughter-in-law were not filial in the future, she would be able to take care of her in her old age and would not leave her helpless in her old age. It was also a way to save some money for her coffin.
To be honest, Aunt Niu was really grateful for her speed. If she had arrived later, she probably would not have had the chance to do such a good job.
At this moment, the boy in the yard next door was slowly drinking the chicken soup that Wang Shiyu sent over. To be honest, it has been almost six years, and Wang Shiyu didn’t talk much with the people next door. Wang Shiyu is not a passionate person, nor is she curious. The boy is naturally the same. They are both extremely restrained and calm. With the same temperament, if they meet, they probably won’t be able to utter a word for a long time.
The young man who should have died four years ago is still tenaciously alive, which surprised everyone far away in Jinling. They did not expect that after such a heavy blow, the child could still live healthily. Therefore, the people in Jinling have been trying to find out if there is any medicine in Jizhou City that can cure such a poison. The emperor just took ruthless action and increased the dosage of the medicine, aiming to kill people. The people in the City Lord's Mansion naturally died directly, and the doctor who was treating the young master's body in the City Lord's Mansion was also taken to Jinling by the emperor.
You have to know that the emperor was a very cruel man. He had moved all the trees, flowers and plants on the treasure mountain in Qianmen Town to his own imperial garden. Even though the eunuchs and servants were carefully serving them, more than half of them still died. Even the fruits that were left were no different from ordinary fruits. They even tasted sour and astringent, and were completely different from the previous fruits.
