But when everyone saw the old lady who was acting like a spoiler, no one said anything. Everyone in the neighborhood knows who they are. Everyone knows that this old woman is a shrewd and unreasonable person. Everyone adheres to the principle that they cannot be offended and can be avoided, and there is not even a single person to persuade them. There were even some well-meaning people who secretly persuaded Huang Qiong and others to leave quickly and not to provoke this shrew.
Even though this old woman is old, most people can't control her when she acts violently. Coupled with that bastard son of hers, the two of them might cause something earth-shattering. Although her bastard son is just a gambler, he still has some bad friends in this area. If you are really relied on by them, you may lose everything. Those dead people are not just shady when it comes to money.
A few of them looked like very wealthy people. There is no need to have such a relationship with such a rogue family. Even the government doesn't bother to pay attention to this kind of rogue. It's just a pity that woman's life is really bad. Such a good woman marries into such a family. Not only did he have to starch and wash clothes for others to feed his family all day long, but he also had to be beaten and scolded all day long.
Listening to the neighbors' comments, Huang Qiong looked familiar to the old lady. From the previous conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as these words from the neighbors. Then I remembered that this old lady turned out to be Zhao Jinse's ex-mother-in-law. Huang Qiong was almost scolded for her whole life, so Huang Qiong was quite impressed by this old lady who had never known what it meant to be reasonable.
Just looking at the collapsed house in front of me, it was even more dilapidated and in a worse location than the original house. I'm afraid her son's gambling skills have not improved in the past few years. And standing on one side was the handsome-looking twelve- or thirteen-year-old man. He held the woman tightly with one hand and held his brother with the other. Even the boy who stepped forward to protect the woman when his grandmother came forward to scratch her.
Presumably, he should be the son that Zhao Jinse never forgets. Just looking at this child, covered in rags and rags, wearing a single coat and shoes in such a cold weather, and even the rag shoes on his feet, the toes were already exposed, Huang Qiong secretly sighed. It's not that his stepmother abused the child. The woman he was supporting was dressed in rags even more than he was.
I am afraid that all the money that Zhao Jinse asked people to bring back over the years was sent to the gambling table by the child's father. No, I'm afraid it's in the hands of his grandmother, who has a fierce look and a greedy face, and is currently the only one wearing a winter coat among the few people. This child's life these years is probably far beyond what Zhao Jinse, a mother, could have imagined or expected.
Huang Qiong knew that he had spent all these years for himself, the son who stayed with her ex-husband. Almost all of Zhao Jinse's monthly salary was sent to her ex-husband's house. The annual gifts or extra rewards received over the years are also saved in private. Just because I moved into Xiyuan and entered the palace now, it is no longer possible to get out. Therefore, we can no longer have people deliver them as soon as the monthly routine is over as we did in the past.
But at least once every six months, he also sent the eunuchs around him to send some of his belongings. Although I don't dare to give too much, let alone give things to the palace, I still give half of my monthly allowance and send it to him once every six months. She knew that most of the money would be used to support her ex-husband and his family. But Zhao Jinse, who was worried that his son would suffer too much for the sake of his son, still gritted his teeth and insisted on sending someone to deliver him.
He and Situ Huanshuang all felt pity for this woman. Although doing so is strictly prohibited by palace regulations. It used to be the King of England's vine, but it was strictly prohibited. Although Zhao Jinse's current status in the palace is not high, she is actually the emperor's concubine. Not to mention the ex-husband, the children born to the ex-husband, and even the contacts with the mother's family are strictly restricted.
In the Tian family, there is no such thing as remarrying with your mother. No confusion is allowed in the bloodline of the Tian family. If another emperor had been on the throne, Zhao Jinse would have been beaten to death long ago without even considering what he did. But considering that Zhao Jinse has been diligent in serving Huang Qiong over the years, he is even a little submissive. In addition, the relationship between flesh and blood is constant, so everyone acquiesced.
It stands to reason that the property Zhao Jinse has sent over these years is no longer a small amount. Added together, there are already thousands of strings. Even a poor family can be supported to become a well-off family. But look at the place where the family lives, look at the tattered clothes on a few people, and look at the food on their faces. Look at that dilapidated house again.
Thinking of the reason why Zhao Jinse left this house in the first place, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly. Sure enough, after all, dogs can't change their habit of eating shit. It is estimated that the man did not spend even a few cents on his son with the money that Zhao Jinse worked so hard to give, and he must have lost it in gambling. Otherwise, no matter how much the money and goods sent by Zhao Jinse were wasted, the family's situation would definitely not be reduced to what it is today.
Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of her nose and looked in front of her eyes. At this time, she saw her grandmother acting out there. She had no time to pay attention to it for the time being and was busy comforting her stepmother's child. I feel that as the de facto stepfather, I should do something for this child. It is quite rare for this child to grow up in such an environment without being a bad learner and having the same virtue as his father.
Huang Qiong lowered his head and said a few words to Duan Jin. Duan Jin couldn't help being stunned when he heard Huang Qiong's words. Until I heard Huang Qiong talk about the true identity of this family, I couldn't help but be a little stunned. They all know about Zhao Jinse. They all helped her as much as they could. He even turned a blind eye to Zhao Jinse's violation of palace rules for the sake of his son.
But no one expected that they would meet here today. Looking at this poor child, Duan Jin, who was also a mother, felt a trace of compassion. Duan Jin, who took a long time to recover from his daze, said directly to the woman and two children in front of him: "We have made the decision for you, so don't be afraid of this old shrew. As an old and disrespectful person, there is no need for attention and attention. Filial piety."
"I want to ask you something now. Are you willing to leave this place, this old and disrespectful mother-in-law, and that gambling-addicted father. Otherwise, you will be sold by that man sooner or later. How dare you Don’t dare to take a gamble with me, just follow me. Even if I can’t make you rich, at least you will have enough food and clothing, and you won’t have to worry about being sold out by a man who has a bad eye for you.”
Regarding Duan Jin's words, the woman shook her head with red eyes: "I will never forget your great kindness. You guys should leave quickly and don't get caught up. Little woman When that husband comes back and sees this scene, he will probably extort you a lot of money before he gives up. There is no need for these people who look like they are rich and powerful to take on this trouble for our family."
But as soon as the woman finished speaking, the older boy suddenly knelt down in front of Huang Qiong and others, regardless of the snow on the ground. He kowtowed heavily and said: "Masters and ladies, I know you are kind people. Please take my stepmother and younger brother away. They have lived too miserable lives. In these years, the little money the family has has They were all gambled away by my father and lost.
"It was only because my stepmother was replenishing laundry detergent that the whole family barely survived starvation. In order to support the whole family, my stepmother worked hard every day. Not only did she have to do laundry until midnight every day, I also had to take care of the whole family. We had enough food and clothing. But my grandmother was still dissatisfied and beat and scolded her stepmother every day. My father was away from home all day long. Whenever he came back, he would either ask for money after losing a bet or he would be very drunk."
"My stepmother had no money to give her a beating, and the worst part was that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. When she was pregnant with her brother, she not only had to be busy every day, serving her grandmother and father, but she also had to starch and wash clothes. Make money. If I continue like this, I will either die of exhaustion, or one day I will be sold by my jealous father. I have lost my mother's love since I was a child, and I have relied on my stepmother to take care of me these years."
"Now that I have grown up, I don't want to drag my stepmother to suffer for me, and I don't want my younger brother to be the same as me. So I beg the gentlemen and ladies to be kind and take my stepmother and younger brother away. Even if they follow them, they will still have to suffer. But even if you are a slave for the rest of your life, it is much better than staying here. Although my grandmother is a little unreasonable, she is my grandmother after all, and I can stay and take care of her."
Huang Qiong was stunned for a moment when she saw this child standing up and begging him to take his stepmother and younger brother away while he wanted to stay and take care of his grandmother. Then he nodded. This child dared to come forward at this time, but he hadn't been taught bad things yet, and he wasn't as cowardly as he seemed. Praying for his stepmother and brother, it shows that this child has some backbone.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong nodded and said: "You kid, you said these words today. You seem to have some backbone and have not been taught bad things. Don't worry, I will take care of your affairs to the end. As for Your grandmother, in my opinion, is your father to honor her. At least until her temper changes, your father is her son and should bear the responsibility of supporting her. "
At this point, Huang Qiong raised his head and said to the woman and child: "Those two golden melon seeds can even settle the grievances between you and their family. There is nothing to deal with that broken family. Standing up, everyone said with Let's go. Staying with such people for a long time is an insult to us. But for your sake, I will send someone to clean up this house for them so that it can be lived in. "
After the words fell, Huang Qiong was stunned when she heard that Huang Qiong was about to take his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren away without even looking at him. The crying before also stopped. It wasn't until a middle-aged man appeared that the old woman cried and said: "Son, you are back. This little hooves hooked up with such a person at some point. These people are here to take them all away." .”
"Since the day this woman married into our family, I have noticed that she has a coquettish look on her face that can't keep up with the rules of women. Now I don't know what kind of seduction she got, but she actually follows others when she sees them. And she dares to instigate them, then The little bitch brought by the wild man started to beat me. I was pushed to the ground, and she was watching from there, even if she came up to help me, she refused. You should beat him to death to vent your anger for me. "
When the old lady saw her son back, she filed a lawsuit and complained, talking nonsense. He also encouraged his son to beat his daughter-in-law to death. When the man heard what his mother said, he didn't care about the situation and started to punch his wife. But before he could touch his wife with his fist, Duan Jin, who couldn't restrain himself, kicked her out.
Because he was just an ordinary person, although Duan Jin's kick was a bit harsh, he did not use his internal strength. But even without using any internal force, this kick still kicked the man away, and he was unable to move for a long time. But when the old woman saw that her son had not reached out his hand, she was kicked out. He hurriedly shouted out like a pig being killed: "God damn the female robber, this is murder."
