However, she just yelled this sentence, and Duan Jin, who saw that she was about to say dirty words, kicked all the snow into her mouth, blocking her next words. Seeing that the old lady was finally clean for the time being, Huang Qiong said to the dazed woman: "What is there to miss about such a home, such a husband, and a mother-in-law? Aren't you afraid that your two children will also be taught bad things?"
After the words fell, he lost interest. Huang Qiong, who continued to stay here for a moment longer, never looked at the mother and son on the ground again, turned around and left with the four daughters. The woman looked at her husband, who was lying on the ground, whining in pain, and at the old woman who was desperately pulling snow out of her mouth. Although he was a little hesitant, he finally dragged the two children and left.
What made this woman make up her mind was Huang Qiong's words, "Aren't you afraid that your two children will also be taught bad things?" She was very aware of her mother-in-law and her husband's character. My husband is addicted to gambling, and his family has been ruined by him. The ex-wife was even in confinement before she was finally put on the gambling table and exported. And my mother-in-law never knew what reasoning was.
With my neighbors, I just want to take advantage all day long and don't take it seriously if I offend others. He also has the habit of petty theft. When he sees good things from his neighbors, he just takes them. When people try to reason with her, they get mad at her. The neighbors around here were all offended by her. This is my fate for the rest of my life, and I will accept it no matter what. But these two children will be ruined if they continue like this.
Especially his stepson, who has been miserable since he was a child. She didn't even get much milk from her mother, so her father lost her in a bet. When I was with my own grandmother, I didn’t get a good education since I was a child, and I didn’t even have enough to eat. When I got married, my child was already five years old. He was so thin and small that he couldn't even lift his head. I don't know how much thought I put into getting the child well.
My husband had lost everything in his family, and when he had some money, he went out for whoring and gambling. Children are growing up slowly. If they are influenced by their father, their whole life will be really ruined. Therefore, although she still couldn't bear it, she finally chose to leave for the future and growth of her two children. Seeing that the woman finally chose to leave with him, Huang Qiong nodded.
The woman made up her mind that there would be hope in leaving the family. Otherwise, this woman will really be hopeless in this life. It's easy to just take the person away, but it's a headache to arrange them. Just after leaving here and turning a corner. But the woman stopped, knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Qiong and the others: "Thank you, sir, for helping the woman make up her mind."
"The little woman was born in such a family since she was a child. Her biological father was also addicted to gambling. Apart from coming back to ask for money, she rarely had a family. It all depended on her mother's kindness and her own efforts to make clothes for others. I just raised us sisters. I am the eldest in the family, and I lost to my father in a bet at the age of sixteen. My whole life has been ruined, and this life is like this. I can only accept my fate."
"But these two children can't continue like this. Especially the eldest brother, now he has reached a sensible age. If he learns from his father badly, how can the little woman be worthy of his miserable mother. Today, the eldest man The words helped me make up my mind to leave. It was just the eldest man and his wife who brought us out of the sea of misery. But we really can’t hinder the eldest man and his wife any longer. "
Looking at the woman's resolute face, before Huang Qiong had time to speak, Situ Huanshuang hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. He said softly: "Don't worry, our master is very rich. Let alone your mother, she can still support you no matter how much you have. Just follow us. How can you, a woman, live with two children? It's difficult. If not, will you be blind for the rest of your life?"
But no matter how Situ Huanshuang, Duan Jin and He Yao tried to persuade her, the woman stubbornly shook her head and said: "The little woman has hands and can bear the hardships. There is no problem in life. The two children also If you are sensible, the boss can also help with some work. Madam, I understand what you mean. You are worried that the three of us will be helpless and have no skills, so we will not be able to survive in the capital."
"The little woman and the two children are very grateful for your kindness. But no matter how hard it is, the little woman can't develop the habit of stretching out her hands. Once a person gets used to stretching out his hands, his life will be ruined. They all have a hard life. People don't have a good father to set an example for them. If the mother, the little woman, can't understand the right and wrong, then these two children will really be completely ruined for the rest of their lives."
Hearing what the woman said, Huang Qiong nodded in agreement. Only such a mother can teach ambitious children. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong gave a big thumbs up to this ambitious woman. However, Huang Qiong suddenly remembered something. Then he said: "We will not support you. In this way, I have an errand, no, I think it is quite suitable for you."
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong pondered for a while and then said: "There is such an official family. The husband is away as an official, leaving only a housewife with four children at home. There are a lot of maids and servants at home, and one person needs to help take care of it. . Originally she wanted to ask her own sister to help take care of it, but her sister married someone else not long after she came to Beijing. She didn't dare to find just anyone, so she just kept it empty. "
"Under that kind of situation, he is still able to educate two children so well, and he is also a kind and ambitious person. In this way, you go and see with me first. If it is suitable, stay. If not, I will Let me help you figure it out. Don’t put any burden on you. We know this child’s biological mother and we will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. As long as you educate the child well, you can repay our kindness. "
The family Huang Qiong mentioned was Zhang Qiaoer's home. Zhang Qiaoer originally thought about asking Liu Chang's sister-in-law to help with the housekeeping. In the end, I didn't expect that they would all become Huang Qiong's concubine now. The capital was too complicated, and Zhang Qiaoer didn't dare to find anyone at will, so he kept delaying it. But now, Zhang Qiaoer can only manage everything in the house, and even the number of people who go to the palace to accompany Huang Qiong is much less.
Although the woman in front of me may not have this ability. But he is an ambitious person, and his two children cannot be taught enough. She should be able to help Zhang Qiaoer with housekeeping. As for Huang Qiong's meaning, as soon as he said it, the girls all knew it. Although they all rolled their eyes in unison, they all thought that this was indeed suitable for this woman, so they all helped to persuade her.
Then he looked at the two children who were shivering with cold beside him, touched his empty pockets, and then thought that his parents' family would never accept him. Even if he reluctantly accepted it, he would not want this stepson. What's more, my mother's family is also impoverished. Even if I have three more mouths, I won't be able to support them. I have always regarded this stepson as my own, and I can almost say that I raised him.
If you don't want him, push him out. As a half-grown child, where can he go next? Would it really be ruined if he returned to that unattractive home? After hesitating for a long time, the woman finally nodded. Looking at the few people following him, Huang Qiong smiled faintly. Instead, he called the boy to his side and talked with the child as he walked.
How could a child who was only twelve or thirteen years old have the scheming power of Huang Qiong? Along the way, before arriving at Zhang Qiaoer's house, the details of the mother and son had already been found out clearly. And just as he expected, almost all the money Zhao Jinse had sent over the years was given to the gambling table by his father. His biological father had never cared about him in these years.
I hang out outside all day long and rarely go home. There are only two things to do when you go home, one is to reach out for money after losing everything, and the other is to run back to avoid gambling debts after losing everything and having nowhere to go. As for the other days, they are all fooling around outside. None of the money Zhao Jinse sent was spent on him at all. As for the old lady, she did nothing the whole day and basically ignored him.
If his stepmother hadn't entered that house, he would have starved to death. After this stepmother came to this home, she tried her best to support this dilapidated family. Every day, I rely on my stepmother, who washes clothes day and night, regardless of winter or summer, and makes clothes for clothing stores, so that the family can be supported. I am afraid that everyone in the family, except for his father, has long since died of cold and hunger.
This stepmother has always regarded herself as her own child. When I was a child, I was so hungry that I couldn't even walk or lift my head because I was four or five years old. If it weren't for the stepmother coming in, the family would be so poor that she would have to take care of herself. In order to buy eggs for myself, I tried every means to raise a few chickens. If you secretly feed yourself eggs, you will already be dead.
Huang Qiong's heart was filled with mixed feelings about this child. His father, let alone a man, was not even a human being. She patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him a few words. When he arrived at Zhang Qiaoer's house, Huang Qiong just smiled and said nothing while looking at the extremely nervous mother and son. After entering Zhang Qiaoer's house, Zhang Qiaoer's family saw the uninvited arrival of Huang Qiong and Situ Huanshuang, as well as the arrival of He Yao and Duan Jin. He was very calm, and he was no longer used to strange things.
Those who should kneel and kowtow should kneel and kowtow. These family members are the strict and reliable people selected by Huang Qiong from the original family members of the British Prince's Palace. To put it bluntly, they are the people who live in Huang Qiong's residence. Who would be unfamiliar with this emperor who had an unusual relationship with his wife, not only coming here from time to time, but also staying overnight occasionally, as well as the queen behind him who turned out to be the Princess of England, and the two noble concubines?
Especially He Yao, the housekeeper's wife, they are very familiar with. In addition, Zhang Qiaoer has always been very cautious since entering Beijing. The family still uses the one originally assigned by Huang Qiong, and never chooses someone from outside easily. Therefore, none of these people did not know Huang Qiong, the emperor.
Compared with these people who were very calm, when the mother and son heard these people calling the emperor, their legs were weak from fear. Every day, the mother and son were struggling in hardship, but how could they think that the people in front of them were actually the emperor, empress and concubines of the current dynasty. The little child is not sensible yet, but he has no feeling at all about the identities of these people.
But the woman and the eldest son were so frightened that their legs softened and they knelt down. They were even speechless. They were just ordinary people before. They never thought that one day they would be so close to the emperor and empress, and they would walk together for such a long time. Judging from the clothes of these people, she knew that they came from rich and noble families.
Although she was born in poverty, she had always made a living doing laundry and sewing for wealthy families. Compared with her husband and mother-in-law, her eyelids are not so shallow. Not to mention anything else, the few furs these people wear to keep out the cold are all fine mink and fox furs, and that one is not worth tens of thousands of dollars. Just these few furs, if you don't have millions of dollars, you will definitely not dare to wear them, and you can't afford them at all.
