Everyone was talking, and for a moment there was only silence circulating in the room.
In the end, it was Wang who took the initiative and said, "Brothers, since you all said you were reluctant to leave here, and you said that the eldest lady and madam are good to you, then if madam or young lady is in trouble in the future, are you willing to come out and help them?" "
Facing Wang Cai's question, everyone just said, "That's natural."
Wang Cai then said, "That's good. Can you give me your contact information?"
Seeing that Wang Cai actually asked them to leave their contact information, one of them couldn't help but curiously asked, "Wang Cai, did something happen to the lady?"
Others also thought Wang Cai's words were a bit strange, so they just followed suit and asked.
However, this was obviously not a good time to tell the truth, so Wang Cai just smiled and said, "I'm just worrying about what might happen to the young lady. I wanted to ask if you are willing to help."
"If something happens to Miss, then we will take action. There is no need to talk about it." Someone replied loudly.
Hearing this, Wang Cai was very moved, "It's hard to believe that brothers are so affectionate and righteous. We are considered acquaintances. How about we leave each other's contact information before leaving?"
Faced with Wang Cai's proposal, the others immediately agreed.
Wang Cai soon collected the whereabouts of these people. Almost all of them were from villages and towns near the outskirts of Beijing. Most of these people who had such a sum of money would not be arranged to go elsewhere in a short time after returning home. Went, leaving their addresses now will make it easier to find them in the future.
After leaving their addresses, Wang Cai waved goodbye to the others.
When the others saw that Wang Cai had left and it was getting late, they also chose to leave one after another.
In the evening, Mrs. Song carried her lunch box and basket to the Green Smoke Garden where Zhou Yaoniang was.
The two guards at the garden gate and Mrs. Song were old acquaintances.
Therefore, no one stopped Sister Song from entering the garden. One of them even took the initiative to say hello to Sister Song, "Sister Song, why did you come here so late today?"
Facing the greetings from these people, Mrs. Song only said in a low voice, "Hey, I saw the masters dismissing people this afternoon. Aren't I curious? I went to watch the fun too. I don't want to delay cooking."
As soon as they heard about dismissal, the two people were also curious: "Dismissal, who is being dismissed?"
Seeing that they were curious, Sister-in-law Song approached them mysteriously and said, "You don't know yet?"
What could these people know? They guarded the garden gate almost every day, so they shook their heads in ignorance.
Sister-in-law Song whispered, "This afternoon, my uncle dismissed a large number of old people. I heard from my uncle that he seems to have decided to sell the house to save his wife."
Upon hearing this, the two people immediately said, "Since it is dismissal, then Sister-in-law Song, you have not been dismissed?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Song immediately said, "I actually went too, but I am old and have no family anymore, so I would rather stay here."
Hearing Mrs. Song say this, they thought it made sense.
But Sister-in-law Song continued, "To be honest, my uncle is really kind-hearted. For those who were dismissed, my uncle only gave them twenty taels of silver. Tsk, tsk, now they are considered rich." .”
Hearing Sister Song's words, those people were obviously a little moved, and one of them couldn't help complaining, "Why didn't anyone come to inform me about such a good thing?"
Sister-in-law Song immediately said, "I haven't dismissed you, so why did I notify you?"
Hearing Sister Song's words, the two of them couldn't help but sigh, "Why didn't you inform us? We are also old people in this hospital!"
"That's right, why don't you ask us what we mean about this kind of thing?"
These nursing homes are not born in the family, and they are not very loyal to the Zhou family. And they have some skills and can live a good life no matter where they go. The reason why they haven't left yet is because their contract with the Zhou family has not expired yet.
Now I heard Mrs. Song say that the Zhou family was going to sell the iron, and I still don’t know if their wages will be paid. The others all got 20 taels and left.
How can you make them not jealous.
For a while, the two guards didn't have much thought about guarding here.
"That won't work. I have to ask my uncle."
As soon as she heard what they said, Mrs. Song immediately said in a panic, "Oh! I really shouldn't have told you. You go ask my uncle. When the time comes, I will be scolded to death. Isn't that right?" Harm me?"
Hearing Sister Song say this, one of them was quite kind, "Don't worry, Sister Song, we won't tell my uncle about your affairs."
"Yeah, we're not going to say you told us this."
Hearing what they said, Sister-in-law Song then said, "If that's the case, that's not bad. If I'm raped, I'm afraid my uncle will coax me out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Song was about to enter the Green Smoke Garden.
Naturally, the others didn't care what Sister-in-law Song had arranged in her lunch box.
After all, when the treatment is not adequate, they have no intention to work hard at the moment.
After Sister-in-law Song entered the courtyard, Xinghua had already been waiting at the door. Xinghua was completely helpless.
Now seeing Mrs. Song coming over, Xinghua immediately cried and said, "Mother Song."
This tone is like seeing the backbone.
Sister-in-law Song was shocked when she saw her crying voice. She immediately asked, "Xinghua, what's wrong with you? You're fine, why are you still crying? What's wrong, but the lady is not well?"
Hearing Sister Song's words, Xinghua wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "That's not the case."
"What is that?" Mrs. Song was anxious.
Hearing Mrs. Song's question, Xinghua just whispered, "It's nothing, let's go in and talk."
Sister-in-law Song thought for a moment that she was already late today and could not delay others, so she just said, "Wait a moment."
Then Mrs. Song opened the big rice box and took out one of the cage drawers. Inside the cage were a dozen steamed buns, a box of rice, a small bowl of dried fish, a plate of seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of croquettes.
After taking out the basket, she called for others to come over and eat quickly.
There were only two maids and two women in the outer courtyard.
When the mother-in-law saw the things in the basket, she couldn't help but complain, "Why are you eating these things again? Sister-in-law Song, why don't you change the taste? What are these things? You can't eat as freely as before." During the event, I went over to eat by myself."
Hearing her mother-in-law's complaints, Sister-in-law Song was not used to it, "You still complain? I still want to complain. The family is in a tight financial situation now and we don't have enough money to buy it. If you don't want to eat this food, many people outside of them can't eat it." ap.
Upon hearing this, the old lady just said, "How is that possible? They don't even know how to take a few bites of the good food prepared by the masters. If it's not all theirs, why don't you have nothing to eat?" "
Sister-in-law Song just sneered, "Masters, there is only one young lady in the room, and that is my uncle."
"My uncle won't be home these days, and the young lady is also ill. There's no need to think about the big fish. It's good that I can get this for you."
Hearing what Sister-in-law Song said, those people stopped talking, but some people were curious and asked, "Sister-in-law Song, my uncle is not at home at night, why are he still going out?"
Sister-in-law Song only said, "Who knows."
Some people also laughed and said, "I guess my uncle has a lover outside."
Sister-in-law Song just glared at them and warned, "Don't talk nonsense, it will reach my uncle's ears, and be careful of your skin."
After giving these warnings, Mrs. Song then looked at Xinghua, who had been absent-mindedly.
Xinghua was the waiter in the house and would not eat with them. Sister-in-law Song had arranged these things and asked Xinghua to follow her in.
Xinghua had been waiting for Mrs. Song to greet her, but now that Mrs. Song greeted her, Xinghua immediately stood up.
After Mrs. Song entered the house, Xinghua closed the door. Although the four of them were only focused on eating at the moment, Xinghua felt that it was better for her to be more cautious, and Mrs. Song was not idle after entering the house.
She walked straight into Zhou Yaoniang's room.
At that moment, she first glanced at the basin filled with cold water and the handkerchief hanging beside it, and then she tentatively touched Zhou Yaoniang's hot forehead.
Zhou Yaoniang still showed no sign of waking up.
At this time, Xinghua had also arrived next to Mrs. Song.
Sister-in-law Song then asked Xinghua, "Miss, haven't you woken up yet?"
When asked about this, Xinghua suddenly started crying, "How can the young lady wake up? Sister-in-law Song, you have to save the young lady."
Sister Song didn't expect Xinghua to have such a reaction, but she just thought that Xinghua was frightened by Zhou Yaoniang's serious illness, so she gently patted Xinghua's back and said, "Xinghua, just do it." Don’t worry, Miss, it’s just a cold, it’s not a big problem. Besides, Miss, someone should come here every day to deliver medicine.”
However, facing Sister Song's words, Xinghua did not say a word. She just pulled Sister Song and motioned for Sister Song to come with her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Song naturally followed her.
Then she saw a dead rat with stiff limbs lying on the windowsill.
But even at this time, Mrs. Song didn't take the dead mouse too seriously. She just said, "Xinghua, why did you bring me to see this dead mouse? Isn't this too disgusting?"
Faced with Sister Song's words, Xinghua only whispered, "I soaked the medicine that Miss drank these days into the steamed buns and gave it to this mouse. The mouse died immediately after eating it."
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Song broke into a cold sweat, "You mean, someone is poisoning the young lady?"
Xinghua didn't say anything, but he nodded.
Sister-in-law Song then said, "Then do you know who did it?"
Xinghua didn't answer. She whispered, "I don't know either. I only started paying attention to this after Brother Wang Cai reminded me. I don't know who the murderer is."
As soon as she heard Xinghua talk about Wang Cai, Mrs. Song immediately thought of what Wang Cai said to her when he left today.
Could it be that the king knew something, so he reminded himself to come to see the lady and also asked himself to prepare cold medicine.
No matter how you look at it now, this matter is full of some kind of calculation.
"What else did he say to you?" Sister-in-law Song continued to ask.
