Everyone found a nearby teahouse and didn't go to the second floor. They asked for two tables on the first floor and ordered some refreshments, two pots of tea, and a small plate of melon seeds.
Su Laoer thought in his heart that he would never take his parents out shopping again. Look at the money he spent on this trip. He and his mother were reluctant to spend what his daughter had earned so hard, but his parents, his eldest brother and his third brother spent it without mercy.
Here, Su Laoer was still worried about the few thousand taels of silver, and was wondering if he would have to find an excuse to go back later. There was a noise on the street outside, and the few people who were still chatting couldn't help but look towards the door.
I saw a woman in rags with gray hair. She was lying on the ground. A well-dressed man was kicking her, and there was a shabby man not far away. A mouthful of bowl.
No need to think about it, everyone guessed it. This woman must be begging. Somehow she provoked this man and was beaten severely. There are many such things in Kyoto, but no one stepped forward to take care of this stall. Nosy.
After a few kicks, the man, perhaps out of anger and fearing bad luck from kicking someone out, took a sip and turned around and left.
Mrs. Lian sighed, she was also a pitiful person, and turned to order Yin Jian who was waiting next to her.
"You go and give me some copper coins."
Yin Jian was ordered out of the teahouse, while Mrs. Ji was saying sarcastic words.
"I said, second brother and sister, you really have money to burn. If you have so much money, you might as well give me some. You see, I don't even have a tael of silver on hand, and I'm no better than that woman outside. "
What Ji said is true. They didn't have much money when they came from their hometown, but then the head of the family took it all away. Now she really can't afford a tael of silver, otherwise she would He wouldn't listen to that salesman and accept that job just for money.
The brother and sister were originally thinking about how to make people laugh, but unexpectedly, their mother helped them solve this problem.
Mrs. Lian hesitated for a while and took out a couple of pieces of silver from her arms.
"Sister-in-law, I only have so much here, take it if you want it."
Su Yu smiled and narrowed her eyes. With Ji's current appetite, how could she value a tael of silver?
Sure enough, Ji over there felt as if he had been insulted.
"Second brother and sister, you can send the beggar away with a few pieces of silver."
"Okay, just stop talking to me outside!"
When Mrs. Li spoke, Ji immediately fell silent.
Ji didn't want the last few taels of silver. She didn't want to lose face.
Several people here were talking, but Yin Jian came in with the old woman.
"Madam, this mother-in-law knows that Madam is kind, so she wants to come and thank Madam."
By the time Yin Jian finished speaking, the woman had already knelt on the ground with a bang.
"Thank you madam for the reward. Thank you madam for the reward."
Although the mother-in-law was dressed in rags and her white hair was messy, there was nothing dirty on her face.
"Hey, mother, this is not Mrs. Lu from the village next to us."
When Mrs. Ji said this, Mrs. Li looked at the kneeling mother-in-law and found that it was indeed the mother-in-law Lu from the village next to them.
Ji had a loud voice, and the place where her mother-in-law was kneeling was close to them. When she heard Ji's words, she couldn't help but look up and saw Mrs. Li sitting there.
Mrs. Lu's eyes were a bit blurry as she got older, so she couldn't see people clearly. She squinted for a while and then slapped her thigh fiercely.
"Orchid! It's really you. I really didn't expect that I would meet you in Kyoto City."
Mrs. Lu was really crying with joy at this moment. She had suffered a lot because of this bad thing about the Su family.
"Mr. Lu, aren't you at your hometown? Why are you here in Kyoto City?"
When Mrs. Lu saw that she was from the Su family, she got up from the floor and sat down at Old Mrs. Li's table. When she heard Old Mrs. Li's words, tears flowed out again. She didn't look like she was faking, but she confused Old Mrs. Li. .
"Lanhua, I finally found you."
Then Mrs. Lu searched around the crowd again and found Su Laoer. She immediately stepped forward and looked at him carefully. She was relieved when she saw that the person was not missing any arms or legs.
Su Yu thought to herself, how did the eldest brother find this mother-in-law? With her acting skills and mentality, she would be at the level of a movie queen in modern times.
Su Yan was also amazed by this woman's performance. This woman was more experienced in acting than him. She thought that it is true that older people have experienced a lot.
But how do they know that if an actress doesn't perform well, she just loses her job? If she doesn't perform well, her daughter, son-in-law, and their family will be dead.
Su Laoer was a little confused at this moment. The woman looked at him as if he were shining gold.
"Lanhua, I have something to say to you, but this is really not the place to talk. How about we find a place where no one is around."
They were making a lot of noise. There were several tables of guests coming to rest in the lobby on the first floor, and guests at other tables had been looking towards them for a long time.
Su Yu spoke next to him at the right time.
"Milk, how about we go up to the second floor and get a private room."
"Um."
Soon the group went up to the second floor and entered the private room. After sitting down, Mrs. Lu took out a tattered handkerchief from her arms and held Mrs. Li's hand while wiping her tears.
Old Mrs. Li was a little disgusted, but considering that her dead mother and Mrs. Lu had known each other for decades, it was hard to go too far.
"Lanhua, I'm sorry for you. I've been pressing this matter on my mind for more than thirty years, but now it's about my family and my life, so I have to say it."
Mrs. Li hadn't spoken yet, but Mrs. Ji couldn't wait any longer. She was always a gossip.
"Mrs. Lu, tell me quickly what is going on."
"Actually, your second son is not your biological son."
These words were like a thunder, which shocked Lao Zhai, Su Lao Er and his wife, and the two brothers and sisters also showed surprised expressions at the right time.
Mrs. Li's face suddenly turned bad.
"I am not joking about this matter. Why was my second son not born to me?"
Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears before telling the story.
"When I went to deliver your baby back then, I was carrying a basket in my hand. My eldest nephew should still remember this, right?"
Old Man Su really remembered this. It was Mrs. Lu whom he went to invite, but he didn't go to Mrs. Lu's house. He met her on the way. At that time, Mrs. Lu was holding a basket in her hand, covered with a piece of floral cloth.
If we want to talk about why Old Man Su still remembers what happened when Old Mrs. Li gave birth to Second Lao Su, we have to say that Old Mrs. Li spent a day and night giving birth to Second Lao Su, and almost died.
Although the relationship between the older couple has faded now, Mrs. Li had only been married for two years at that time, and they had lived in love for several years.
The two had a good relationship when Su Lao Er was born, so this incident left a deep impression on Su Lao Er.
