Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 197
After all, the old man has accumulated a lot of time, and said on purpose: "The He family is no longer the original big family. After the man who established the family at the top of the family died, relatives from all over the world came to fight for the division of the family property. Now there is no one. What's the matter, if you also want to share a piece of the pie, I advise you not to think about it and go back earlier."

Hongguozi also knows about this matter.

Back then, after her father and elder brother died, only her elderly mother, sister-in-law and young niece were left in the family. An orphan and widow could not keep the He family's property.At that time, the messy relatives of the He family came out of nowhere, not only divided up the property of the He family, but also sold the house of the He family, and drove the three grandparents to some unknown place.Seeing that none of the people sent by the Baishan Eagles could find the whereabouts of the three people, everyone said that the three people might have starved to death, but Hong Guozi didn't believe it, so he insisted on looking for it.

With red eyes, Hong Guozi said: "Old man, I am not those wolf cubs, I am really a relative of the He family. You see, my husband is a businessman, and my family is very well off. Besides, as you said, the He family is now There is nothing lucrative at all. If I wanted to divide the property, I would have come half a year earlier. Why should I wait until now? I heard about the He family and came all the way to visit. If you know that their family is now living in Where is it, please tell me, I will do my best even if I leave a tael of silver when I see them. But, are their family members still alive?"

One group of Hong Guozi cried and the other group talked, while Heizi and Xue Pan grabbed Bai Shanying's arms tightly, one on the left and the other on the right.Just kidding, their master hates to see his wife cry the most. They clearly saw Bai Shanying's clenched fists. If he was not careful, he might beat the old man violently. They didn't want to get into trouble just after entering Sichuan City. trouble.

Seeing Hong Guozi crying, the old man realized that she was not in the same group as the wave of wolves who killed people half a year ago, so he sighed: "Hey, don't cry. I used to be a servant of our family's grandfather. I heard about the original owner He's family after I bought this house, and I don't know much about it. As for where the only three remaining mothers of his family live, I really don't know. However, if you really want to Inquire, I think you can ask Widow Joe in the back street, she may know something."

"Widow Joe?"

"Well, I heard that she is an old resident here, and her life is miserable. Her husband drowned in a shipwreck when he went out to sell goods in the second year after their marriage, and now he lives in the back area. Back then, the He family When you were rich and honored, you often supported her, so go ask her."

"Thank you old man!"

Hong Guozi really knew the widow Qiao that the old man said.She was already seven years old when she was separated from her family. At that time, Widow Qiao had just lost her husband. Because of her good embroidery work, her mother often asked her to come to the house to do some odd jobs, and she didn't even dislike her status as a widow. She was on errand in the house.

It's just that this widow Qiao knew that he was an unlucky person, and he never embroidered on his master's body, and he didn't dare to allow Mrs. He to enter the house, for fear that his bad luck would bring unlucky luck to the family.

"Come on, let's go find Aunt Qiao!"

Bai Shanying didn't say anything, and quickly got into the carriage and walked to the back alley of the mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the place, Hong Guozi hurriedly got out of the car to inquire, and found out where Widow Qiao lived. She stood in front of Widow Qiao's door and said loudly, "Aunt Qiao...is Aunt Qiao at home?"

After a while, a woman's voice came from the room: "Who is it?"

"I...I am..."

Hong Guozi didn't know how to introduce herself for a while, and when she was hesitating, the door of Widow Qiao opened.

When she saw the red fruit, she felt familiar, but she didn't quite recognize it. After looking at it for a while, she didn't know who it was, so she asked, "My lady, are you here to find me?"

Seeing that Widow Qiao was older except for her clothes, Hong Guozi recognized it at a glance, tears filled her eyes, and called out in a trembling voice, "Aunt Qiao, it's me...what am I?" fruit."

"He Guo... He Guo? You! Are you a fruit?!"

Hongguozi was choked up and unable to speak. She never forgot her surname He, but she hadn't been home for a long time. The combination of this surname and her own name made her look a little strange.

Widow Qiao identified it again and again for a while, and burst into tears: "My heavenly Bodhisattva, it is really fruit! You are not dead yet! This... why didn't you come back earlier, your father and your brother..."

"Auntie, don't cry, Auntie, I already know about it, but where is my mother now? Is she okay?"

Speaking of Mrs. He, Widow Qiao slapped her forehead: "Oh, yes, your mother! And your mother! Guozi, come with me quickly and come with me to see your mother. She is in very bad health now. Hurry up. Go and see her, go and see her quickly..."

"What happened to my mother?"

"Come on, come with me, let's talk as we walk," Widow Qiao took Hong Guozi's hand and walked out. Who knew that when she met the fierce-looking Baishanying head-on, she was really startled and asked, "Who is this?" ...?"

"Oh, this is my husband and his two apprentices. Aunt Qiao, where does my mother live?"

Widow Qiao saw the carriage they brought at a glance: "You have a carriage, just in time. Get in the carriage quickly and go out of the city. Oh, by the way, ask a doctor when you pass by the hospital. Your mother is already ill. I haven’t had money to hire a doctor for a long time, so I just rely on the money your sister-in-law earns from doing embroidery work or washing people to make ends meet.”

Everyone stopped talking, and when they arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. He lived, they heard coughing and the voice of a young woman in the room: "Mother, how are you doing, mother? Are you okay?"

After hearing this, Widow Qiao quickly opened the door and said, "Ma'am, how are you doing, Ma'am?"

The old woman lying on the bed finally regained her strength after being massaged by her daughter-in-law touching her chest and beating her back. When she saw Widow Joe, she smiled weakly and said, "You're here? I'm used to it already. It's nothing, I can't die. Daughter-in-law, quickly pour a glass of water for your Aunt Qiao."

"Hey!"

"Grandma, don't be busy. Ma'am, I'm here today to announce the good news for you. Who do you think is that?"

Hong Guozi, who was standing behind Widow Qiao, saw her mother who was lingering on the sick bed, her eyes were already red. Now that Widow Qiao stepped aside, she rushed to her mother's bed and looked at her mother's face carefully.

That's right, it was the face that haunted him in his dreams.It's just that she is so thin, her haggard face and dry and gray hair make Hongguozi feel sour all the time.Missing and heartbroken, her entire chest was in pain, and finally she could only cry out: "Mother—Guo Zi came late, Guo Zi is sorry for you—"
