Mrs. Sun had a look of astonishment on her face, and her brain was a little overwhelmed.
I just heard that the child was ignorant and took other people's rare items. My aunt stole my nephew's gold collar. This...
"When the child's gold collar disappeared, Xiaoyu became anxious." Guihua continued.
"On the one hand, this thing is expensive. It cost a lot of gold to make, and it also has a jade inlaid on it."
"That jade is warm in winter and cool in summer, it is a rare thing."
"Secondly, this golden and jade longevity necklace was given by Xiaoyu's mother-in-law. I heard that this item was her mother-in-law's dowry."
"Xiao Yu's three sisters-in-law get married and have children, and they all want the gold and jade necklace that will last a hundred years."
"Grandma Xiaoyu didn't even give it, just to leave it to this eldest grandson. Now it's a good thing. I came to Grandma Ga's house, but my aunt stole it. This... isn't this ridiculous!" Guihua said.
"Xiaoyu is almost going crazy with anxiety. He lost his collar. Let's not talk about the huge loss. How do we deal with my mother-in-law? Mother Qing'er, don't you think so?" Guihua asked again.
Mrs. Sun had a wry smile on her face.
In this marriage, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the woman has a high profile.
The Ning family is an official family in Qing'an County, and their ancestors have been officials for several generations.
As for Xiaoyu, her parents have been farmers for several generations, with no money and no power. If Chang Geng hadn't been following the transportation team these years to run goods, the family would probably not have enough food or clothing.
Originally, the Ning family disapproved of Xiao Yu's background. It was Xiao Yu and Ning Su's two children who were in love. Ning Su faked his death. Xiao Yu didn't know the truth and would rather sacrifice his whole life to be a widow for Ning Su.
This incident shocked and moved the Ning family's parents, so they relented and agreed to the marriage.
Xiao Yu also lived up to her expectations. Two years after entering the family, she gave birth to a fat boy and followed Ning Su to the military camp in Xiushui Town.
I came back to visit my relatives in the summer. I stayed at my parents' house for a few days and then left in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Sun quickly asked Guihua: "It doesn't matter who got it, what matters is whether the collar was found in the end?"
Guihua said: "Xiaoyu suspected that it was Mrs. Zheng who took it, because when the child's collar was lost, Mrs. Zheng was holding it. At that time, Mrs. Zheng took away the child's wet nurse."
"Xiaoyu told me this, but I still didn't believe it. Then Xiaoyu thought of a way to get Ms. Zheng out of the house and went to Ms. Zheng's house to dig it out."
"Ah?" Mrs. Sun opened her mouth in surprise, "What's next? Have you broken it?"
Guihua shook her head, "I was so angry that I wanted to ask Mrs. Zheng to come over and explain how I could be so confused. Xiaoyu stopped me and wouldn't let me break through."
Sun said: "The nanny and the two maids who came with her are both from the Ning family. Xiao Yu must be afraid that the matter will get bigger and spread to the ears of the Ning family, causing them to look down on their mother's side."
Guihua nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's what my Xiaoyu thinks. She told me, mother, this is a family scandal that should not be made public."
"Before the wet nurse and the two maids noticed, I quietly took the collar back and put it on the child. However, I couldn't stay at my parents' house any longer. I was always afraid that Mrs. Zheng would notice that something had been taken back and something would happen again. "
Mrs. Sun suddenly understood, "No wonder Tianma left for Qing'an County at dawn on the day of light rain. At that time, I just got up and opened the courtyard door and saw him,"
"I recognized at a glance that it was the Ning family's carriage, and I also guessed that Xiao Yu was returning to the county."
"But as a woman, I have to avoid them when they go out early in the morning. I can't go up to them and ask them, let alone bring her souvenirs. My Qing'er even specially said hello to me before, eh. "
Osmanthus fragrans showed some gratitude on her face and said, "You and Qing'er are very aware of our Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu and I both know."
"My wife, she really doesn't know how to advance or retreat." Osmanthus fragrans continued.
"We kept the matter of the gold collar to save face and didn't reveal it, because we were afraid that she would lose face as a person. Unexpectedly, she was not happy about it. She beat her and scolded her all day long."
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Xiaoyu didn't go back to her parents' home, so she asked someone to bring us Mid-Autumn Festival gifts."
"Chicken, duck, fish, moon cakes and snacks. I saw that my daughter-in-law has been having troubles these days, so I picked out more than half of the gifts for her to send to her parents' house. It only took two days for her to feel better."
"After a few days, I couldn't do it anymore. I even encouraged my soft-eared son to go to Xiaoyu's place in Qing'an County to visit relatives."
"This trip to visit relatives lasted seven or eight days. When I came back, the Ning family sent them back in a carriage, and there was another cart full of rice, grain and other supplies."
"Most of the rice and grain supplies went to Zhengjia Village to support her parents' family. Chang Geng and I turned a blind eye."
"But on the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, the couple said they would go to the county to see Xiao Yu."
"Chang Geng was not allowed to do so at that time. He said that Xiaoyu will live with her husband's house in the second half of this year. You can go there once and that's enough. Don't go there every now and then. Others will laugh at us because we are just going there to catch the autumn wind, which will hinder Xiaoyu's success in the big Ning family. If you are not straight, you are not a good person!"
"Mother Qing'er, do you think what Chang Geng said is wrong?" Osmanthus asked.
Mr. Sun shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing wrong with it at all."
Guihua said: "But my wife made a fuss, saying that she agreed to the marriage because she thought my sister-in-law would marry well. Now that she is married, she lives with me every day and lives a boring life."
"I also blame Xiao Yu for not being diligent. She is the young mistress of the Ning family, and she doesn't want her biological brother to find a job in the county."
"My stupid son was also swayed by her pillow to become one with her,"
"The young couple fooled me and Chang Geng, saying they were going back to their parents' home, but in the end they secretly went to Qing'an County to look for Xiao Yu."
"If you go there, you will be in big trouble!" Osmanthus said.
"What big disaster?" asked Sun, her heart tightening.
Osmanthus sighed and looked around, "Someone is coming over there. I'll tell you privately later."
…
"Don't be afraid of opponents who are like wolves, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs. This sentence is really not wrong when applied to Zheng!"
After returning home at night, when Sun and Yang Ruoqing were drinking tea and chatting, she told Yang Ruoqing what Guihua told her today.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but come up with this summary.
"Other people's parents' family is the backstage to support my husband's family. Xiaoyu is really unlucky to have such a confused sister-in-law!" Yang Ruoqing sighed again.
The Zheng couple recently went back to Qing'an County to find Xiaoyu, and directly begged Xiaoyu to help Xiaoyu's brother find a job in the county.
Xiaoyu knows exactly how many kilograms Brother Xiaoyu has and what he can do.
The best thing for my brother to do is to go home and farm honestly.
So Xiaoyu gave the Zhengs twenty taels of silver and asked them to return to the village to buy a few acres of land and cultivate it slowly.
As a result, Zheng became angry and had a quarrel with Xiao Yu at Ning's house. The scolding words were so vulgar that Xiao Yu was embarrassed.
The Ning family came to persuade them to make peace. One of the people who tried to persuade them to make peace was Xiao Yu's second sister-in-law and Ning Su's second sister.
This second sister had not been pregnant for six years after marrying into her husband's family. This time she finally got pregnant. Just after the unstable period of the first three months, she was eager to return to her parents' house to spend time with her parents.
As a result, in the chaos of trying to persuade him to make peace, the unruly Zheng accidentally pushed him and fell to the ground.
The fetus that was more than three months old was gone at that time...
