Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Su Qingying pushed Su's mother forward and said, "Mom, haven't you heard the saying, 'A person's character can be truly seen at the dinner table'"?

Is there such a saying?

Mother Su tilted her head and thought. But you can indeed get a preliminary glimpse of a person's character from the dinner table.

Seeing Su's mother tilting her head and thinking, Su Qingying said again: "Don't you and dad always want to know who he is? From hearsay, sometimes you can only hear two or three points, and sometimes there is not even one point of truth. . You still have to go see it yourself.”

After listening to Su Qingying's words, Su's mother thought about how Lu Bocheng was eating in the morning...

He was polite and polite, and let her eat first, then Qingying, and then him.

He waited until Su's mother moved her chopsticks before eating. When Su's mother stopped, he stopped too.

When eating, he is courteous and courteous. He does not pull or lick his lips randomly. He drinks soup without making any noise. He is not picky about his appetite. It is obvious that he is a well-educated person.

"What if he's just faking it?"

"After more than ten years of eating, the habit has long been formed. It's not easy to pretend for a while."

Mother Su felt a little more satisfied.

Hearing what Su Qingying said at this time, she felt very happy, raised the corners of her mouth, and glanced at Su Qingying's arms again.

He said: "Waiting at the city gate early in the morning just to get money for you?"

Su Qingying nodded: "I'm afraid he's been guarding me for two days. He said he was afraid that his stepmother would tell me if I married naked."

When Su's mother heard this, she sighed and said, "It's hard for him to think so much about you and be so thoughtful. It seems like he wants to live a good life."

He also told Su Qingying: "Don't touch the money inside anymore. Let him take it all with him when he leaves. Those from poor families and rich families should bring more money with them. Maybe they can save their lives at critical moments."

Su Qingying nodded.

Then I went to the jewelry store with Su's mother and bought a thin silver bracelet, a pair of silver earrings, and a silver-plated hairpin before I came out. After shopping around the street again and buying some other things, Su's mother only had one tael of silver left. Su Qingying wouldn't let her buy any more.

She didn't want to give her the twenty taels of silver she had earned. Su Qingying thought that she would marry in the town anyway, and it would be convenient to go back if she had something to do in the future, so she didn't force it.

Su's mother felt sorry for the money, but at the same time she was happy. Fortunately, with the three taels of silver given by Su Mujiang's family and the cloth payment made with Lu Bocheng's silver, Qingying's dowry was more decent.

The mother and daughter carried large and small bags to the cloth shop to get some cloth. Unexpectedly, Lu Bocheng jumped out of nowhere and took the things from Mother Su's hand before she and the two could react.

"Auntie, you bought a lot of things, I'll hire a car for you."

Mother Su waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, there is a bullock cart in the village, right at the gate of the town, which is convenient. There is no need to spend extra money."

After saying that, he followed behind with his hands free, staring at Lu Bocheng's back and grinning.

Su Qingying didn't know what her mother was laughing at. She even forgot about her own daughter. She just followed Lu Bocheng with her hands spread out, not even mentioning helping her carry one or two items.

The three of them entered the cloth shop. Lu Bocheng was teased a few times by the shopkeeper. He blushed and picked up the cloth and walked to the gate of the town.

Mother Su thanked the shopkeeper and pulled Su Qingying to follow him with a smile.

After finding the ox cart in the village and putting down his things, Lu Bocheng was watched and teased by several villagers who had arrived early.

This guy was also thin-skinned, so after being teased for a few words, he turned around and ran away.

"Qingsong mother, this is your second son-in-law. The young man looks so energetic."

"Yes, you are so beautiful and beautiful. You have found a treasure. You married Qingying to the town. I heard that you also gave her a bride price of fifty taels. Fifty taels!"

"I heard that my family has fields, land and a shop..."

Today, Mother Su was the mother-in-law. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became. She sat down on the car floor with a smile and started chatting with others.

When everyone arrived and the bullock cart was about to start, Lu Bocheng ran over again, carrying a large bag of pastries and stuffing it into Su's mother's arms, asking her to take it back for the twins to eat.

After saying that, without waiting for the uncles and aunts to make a few jokes, they ran away again with a red face.

Su Qingying saw him looking like he had been chased by a dog, and found it very funny.

The eldest son of the village chief's family drove the bullock cart and said to Su's mother, "You are a good son-in-law."

Mother Su was modest, but she couldn't hide her smile: "Well, she's not a bad person."

Su Qingying was teased all the way back. Sometimes she would respond in agreement, but if she didn't want to answer, she would remain silent. Anyway, she just pretended to be a thin-skinned young lady waiting to be married.

After entering the village entrance, the mother and daughter got off the oxcart with big and small bags in their hands. They entered the yard and started frying again.

"Auntie, you bought so many things!" Mrs. Zheng ran over exaggeratedly.

She has a noisy temperament, and will get in wherever there is excitement. When she saw the mother and daughter carrying a lot of things on their backs, they immediately surrounded them and started to pick them up.

Su Qingying held all the important things in her arms, turned aside to avoid her search, strode into the house and put down her things, then turned around and took the things from Su's mother's hand, then snatched two pieces of cloth from Zheng's hand, and turned around She carried her things back to her house.

Zheng's hands were empty and she stared blankly at Su Qingying's back.

After coming back to his senses, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Mom, how much money did you and dad give to my sister-in-law for the dowry? My uncle hasn't gotten married yet, and he has to buy things in two days. The younger ones in the family, As we grow older, there is no longer enough room to live in..."

Mrs. Zheng was worried that the fifty taels would be spent by Mrs. Wang and would not fall into the hands of their third wife.

Su Qingying had just put her things away and heard her. She looked at her calmly and said, "I will give you one tael of silver. Didn't you all see it?"

After saying that, she pulled the twins who were leaning over and prepared to take them to wash their hands and eat. After wandering all the way, she was starving to death.

Mrs. Zheng didn't believe it: "One tael of silver can buy so many things! The cloth alone is worth several taels of silver! Mother, did you give money to my sister-in-law in private?"

Su Qingying ignored her. Mrs. Wang obviously wouldn't spend a penny more for the big house, so she would do it secretly? She didn't even bother to do anything superficial about the room of people left behind by her former wife.

Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Wang raise her voice and say, "What are you shouting about!"

Then I heard Su's mother reply weakly: "My parents just gave me a couple of silver."

"Then how do you have money to buy so many things?" Zheng's voice was sharp and sharp.

Su Qingying acted as if she didn't hear anything and just took the twins and carefully washed their little hands. The two little things clung to her very tightly. They disappeared all morning, and when they came back, they ran to her side.

It was lunch time and everyone was in the courtyard. Obviously they are all very sensitive to money, especially those in the second house.

Marry first and marry later. Not two days after Su Qingying got married, Su Youwen was about to get married. Yesterday, the Liu family came to make a fuss. They spent an extra five taels on the bride price. How much money can be used to celebrate the wedding in the end? Now Wang didn't speak yet.

If the eldest brother is given more, there is no reason why the second brother, as his direct grandson, should give less. The people in the second room stood still in the courtyard.

Su Qingying took the twins to wash their hands, turned around and scanned the people in the courtyard, and then focused on the people in the second room.

Su Erhe is the eldest son of the Wang family. Although Su Youwen is ranked lower than Su Qingsong, he is the eldest grandson of the Wang family. There is no reason not to prefer him.

Normally Wang would bully the eldest brother, and the second brother would occasionally help with a few words, unlike Zheng, the third brother, who liked to follow Wang's footsteps. Although Feng was a reticent person in this room, in Su Qingying's opinion, her second aunt was truly shrewd.

Zheng is usually allowed to play around, but the benefits he deserves are not less than the second wife.

Moreover, her two sons and two daughters were well raised and had a good reputation in the village. Su Chunlan married better than her sister Qingliu.

Xia He seemed to be nimble with his hands and feet, and his two sons looked good too. As the eldest son, Su Youwen was pushed out to the battlefield this time, but she was not seen jumping up.

Obviously he knew that he couldn't compete with the Wang family, and it was impossible for the Wang family to let the unmarried Su Siquan go.

Therefore, if you don't argue, you will argue. This time, Su Youwen's marriage was almost entirely decided by Feng, and both Wang and Lao Su Tou agreed to all the requests.

Fifty taels of silver, I am afraid that in addition to the bride price for the Liu family, Su Youwen will also have to take part of it away.

Su Qingying had observed her family for so many days and saw that Su Youwen was a sensible person. In addition, he was about to leave home and his future life and death were uncertain, so even if she gave him fifty taels, Su Qingying would not Not much to say.

If the Su family stays in its original form, she won't care too much about it.

But Zheng, why do you jump up?

Then he looked at her and said, "I will give you one tael of silver. The things you bought today did cost a lot of money, but I won't tell you the origin of the money, and don't ask. I will keep all the fifty taels of silver." It’s at home, and I won’t care if you use it however you like.”

"Our family hasn't separated yet, how can your big family hide private money!"

After Su Qingying finished speaking, she was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to serve the food. When she heard Zheng's words, she turned around and looked at her coldly: "Do you think my parents, such honest people, can hide so much money under my grandma's noses?"

"Then where does your money come from?" Mrs. Zheng refused.

"you guess."

Mrs. Zheng fell back in anger.

Just as he was about to catch up, Old Su Tou said, "Let's set the food."

Zheng wanted to make trouble again, but when she saw Wang glare at her, she immediately stopped. My heart was filled with curiosity, like a bug scratching at me.
