Chapter 277 Cheap Old Bastard
Chen Shiying knew that Chen Afu was telling the truth. Wang Juanniang had no money, no power, and a weak temperament. If she married into his family, her mother would not treat her well, and the daughter she would give birth to would not be treated well...
Those words were like steel needles, making him feel uncomfortable. He was ashamed and ashamed, but he couldn't let Chen Afu tell the truth about his mother. Filial piety is one thing, but it also has a great impact on him and his family.
He said with difficulty, "Fu'er, dad knows, dad knows that your grandmother has done many bad things, which has wronged you and your mother. But she is my mother, and no matter what, dad can't ignore her. . Moreover, if her bad reputation spreads, it will affect the reputation of you and your sisters. You have found a good family, but your sister has not yet..."
The conversation between father and daughter broke up unhappily, and Chen Shiying sighed and went to the east room to rest.
At the end of Xu Shi, Luyuan completely calmed down, and Alu went back to rest. Chen Afu suppressed his curiosity and did not go over to find out.
At dawn the next day, Chen Afu got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast himself. Because Chen Shiying has lived in Jiangnan for more than ten years and likes to eat glutinous rice, Chen Afu made glutinous rice eggs, steamed dumplings and scallion pancakes.
At this time, Dabao hadn't gotten up yet, and only Chen Afu accompanied Chen Shiying to have breakfast. Chen Shiying's face was gloomy, and she couldn't sleep well at first glance. He greeted Chen Afu attentively to eat, gave her steamed buns and cakes, and asked her to honor the Wang family, go to Fucheng's house to play when she had nothing to do, and find something to say to her.
Chen Afu also put a bun for him and said, "Is this glutinous rice cooked authentically? I heard that my father and mother liked it, so I made a few more cans and thought about having someone send it to you. It just so happened that my father took it back today. "
Chen Shiying became happy when she saw a slight smile on Chen Afu's face. He said, "Dad is very happy to have such a caring daughter like you. From now on, I will come to my house more often to spend time with dad. When you get married, you will have no time to spend with dad."
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Dad has several caring daughters. When I'm not here, there are still three and four sisters."
"It's different... you are my father's eldest daughter, and you are the most caring to me." Chen Shiying said.
Chen Afu laughed, this father is quite good at sweet words. She had already noticed that the way Chen Shiying looked at her and Chen Yulan was different from the way he looked at his other daughters, with a bit more warmth and affection.
After the meal, Chen Afu sent him out. In addition to bringing him a few cans of glutinous rice, he also brought some fresh vegetables and a few kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and dates, and watched his carriage drive away.
Dabao also woke up, and after he finished eating, he sent him out again.
Chen Afu went back to his house, took two pieces of cloth and a jar of ginseng soaked in wine and went to Luyuan. Both the cloth and the soaked wine were given to Mrs. Chen.
Whenever he faced Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Chen Shiying, Chen Afu felt grateful that Mrs. Chen was a good person. Although she has many faults and can be quite irritating at times, she is an old lady with a conscience. She has limits and principles in doing things, and she will never do bad things that would get people to poke her spine.
Wang and Chen Ming were still having breakfast in the room. One look at their spirits and it was clear that yesterday's affairs went very smoothly. Chen Ming smiled and told Chen Afu the story, and Wang made supplements.
The Chen family proposed to the Wang family that they could raise old Wang, but they could not raise Ding, who had done all kinds of bad things. If Mrs. Ding is divorced, Mrs. Wang will give Old Man Wang one tael of silver every month as pension money.
Mr. Wang and his family all agreed that they had been eager to divorce Mr. Ding for a long time. The Wang family has such a notoriously evil woman, and it is difficult for the Wang family's daughters to find a husband.
But Old Man Wang felt that one tael of silver per month was too little, not enough for him to eat meat every day, and he would not be willing to divorce Ding until he got 2 taels of silver. Chen Ming was unwilling to give more. If he had too much money, Wang Cai would be wasted, and Wang Cai might use the extra money to spend on Ding.
Hu Laowu, who did not regard himself as an outsider, stayed in Luyuan. He gave Chen Ye an idea, which was to find a powerful concubine for Old Man Wang with a few taels of silver, and the concubine would take care of the money. In this way, you can not only honor Old Man Wang, but also prevent Wang Cai from getting involved in money, and the family will be more lively.
Chen Ye and Chen Ming heard that this was a good idea, so they asked the Wang family to give Old Man Wang a more powerful concubine for five taels of silver. It can not only take care of Old Man Wang's life, but also help him manage his money.
When Old Man Wang heard this, he became even more happy. He nodded repeatedly and said that the lazy and immoral Ding should have been divorced long ago.
Chen Aful was happy. Hu Laowu's head was indeed much stronger than his own at certain times. From now on, the Wang family would be more lively and he would be able to hit the Ding family even more. However, this is too cheap for that selfish and shameless old bastard.
When Mrs. Ding heard that she was going to be divorced, she cried and howled. She even wanted to jump into a well, but was tied up by two daughters-in-law from the Wang family. She said that if she wanted to dance, she should go back to Xianhu Village and dance. It would be better if she died.
At first, Wang Cai also started to make trouble. Mr. Wang said that if he wanted to make trouble with the evil woman, he would leave the clan and let him go with the Ding family. Wang Cai was afraid...
Ding, the evil old woman, was finally kicked out and got her comeuppance. This can also be regarded as Wang's bad breath and revenge for Xiao Wangcheng.
Facing poorer and less powerful families, one can solve the problem with just a little money. However, the even more vicious old woman Chen is still enjoying the blessing because she has a capable son to protect her...
Chen Afu always felt that it was difficult to calm down.
Wang said again, "My mother-in-law, uncle, and Hu Laowu all helped this time, and my aunt's uncle also helped. Last night, your father gave my uncle two taels of silver. Today We want to invite my uncle's family and Hu Laowu's family to have a meal tonight, and also invite Old Man Zeng, Dagui, and Xiao Niu to have a drink, and then invite Guanshi Luo and his son to have a good time."
Chen Afu nodded, and said that she had some seafood sent by Tangyuan at home, so she would bring some to add a few dishes, and then let Qiuyue come to help Aunt Mu cook.
Wang said, "Qiuyue doesn't need to come, Gao and Aju can come to help. Aju is much more diligent now, and Hu had a serious illness, and she also refined Aju..."
She also said that Chen Aju's status has risen, and the conditions for finding a young man are much higher than before, and many families have come to propose marriage. But the uncle and the others didn't like her, saying that their family was also a shareholder of the Fucheng Restaurant, and they also opened a shop in the county. The most important thing is that they have become relatives with Lord Chu, and they can't find a country bumpkin...
If it's really because of me that Chen Aju can have a good home, it's not bad. Chen Afu still reminded Chen Ming and Wang, and asked them to remind Old Lady Chen and Chen Ye not to find a family that only covets the power of the Chu family. Finding that kind of family will be a trouble for Chen Aju and the Chu family.
On the evening of August 29, Chu Lingxuan came back again.
After dinner, the old marquis returned to Tang Garden, the children went to the west wing to play, and Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu discussed Chu Hanyan's birthday in the upper room.
