Seeing that the east wind returns, the struggle for teaching is the most complicated

, our Heng'er is a child who is laughing and laughing and has nothing to worry about. She was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage, which shows how ugly her words are.Later, he said that my uncle had molested her, and Heng'er was so angry that she gave birth half a month prematurely.This time it was her again, making a fuss about releasing the girl for my aunt, if it wasn't for Heng'er's elder brother who woke up and saw that something was wrong with Heng'er, he would give her bowl after bowl of medicine, and he didn't know if Brother Hu would be safe or not. Can live.Ma'am, I don't know how the He family has always dealt with such hurtful things? "

The eldest wife couldn't lose the face of the He family, so she could only say: "That's why we must divorce this concubine's room."

Mrs. Zong said: "Isn't it the rule of the family to confine you in your own room for a few months?"

The eldest wife sneered again, "Of course not. But... the siblings are weak, and this niece is indispensable to serve her, and she has the right to obey."

Seeing that He's mother was in a hurry, Mrs. Zong waved her hand and said: "My wife, don't worry. I know you can't leave this niece, but my daughter, I can't let her go on like this. After such a toss, no matter how young you are, I can't stand it either. Just don't talk about her, Brother Qi and Brother Hu are both born to protect their babies, so they are weaker than ordinary children. They are both grandchildren of their wives, you don't want to have them again in the future Is the grandson still like this? So, aunt and grandma don’t have to move, and continue to live with you, just let us go through it alone. The housework is also explained, and we only take the monthly bills that we have. If you don’t want to buy the house , I would rather take out the money myself.”

Mother He said anxiously: "My wife! Chu Heng is... my serious daughter-in-law, how can I let her live in another house? What about Hong'er? Who will take care of this family? Spread the word... Do we still need to be human?" ?”

The eldest wife also said: "My wife, we understand that you feel sorry for your daughter, but our He family is not a family without rules. Take a look around the capital, whose grandma lives alone outside, but the concubine stays at home and takes care of things? Besides The housework in this room was handed over to the nephew and daughter-in-law by the old lady herself, so there is absolutely no reason to leave it alone." She looked at He mother, "If the niece and daughter-in-law cannot live together, neither can the niece and daughter-in-law. Let's go, brother and sister, what do you think we should do?" With a wink, she signaled her to go down the donkey.

Mother He trembled her lips, looking at this and then that.After all, don't you still want to chase Jin'er away?She put on a crying voice: "But Jin'er...she has changed now! Ever since Heng'er came back, she has been doing well. Wife, she is my sister's daughter, just like mine ..." After speaking, I realized that I made a mistake again, and I regretted it, "I mean... Chu Heng is also like my daughter, and the two of them...can't...be like real sisters?"

Mrs. Zong smiled, "If they marry the same husband, no matter how close the sisters are, they will have their own thoughts."

He Mu was silent, and after a long time said: "I don't know what Hong'er is thinking."

Mrs. Zong still smiled: "Then ask my uncle to ask."

The eldest lady said: "Siblings and sisters, since your niece is only living in the He family for the elderly, what difference does it make where she lives? Anyway, she can also come to see you. If the old lady finds out and follows the family law, she will not be able to take care of her old age." gone."

Mother He lowered her head, tears fell on her front, "But this child is suffering too much...living alone, at least I have something to talk to her here..."

Mrs. Zong nodded and said: "The experience of this cousin girl is indeed deplorable, but a relative of my family has just been transferred back to the capital from Liangzhou, and he said something during the chat." She looked at Mother He and said slowly, "I heard that this There are four girls in the Cao family, and the third girl is the one in the house, needless to say. Her two older sisters, the eldest sister married a concubine who is the boss, and now the boss is dead, and she has no son. The first daughter was kicked out by the first son. The mother and daughter made a living by sewing day and night, and they often couldn’t get enough to eat. The second sister married a businessman in his 50s. Thirty, and the main house is very strict. After the Cao family returned to Beijing, this girl fell out of favor and was given to a friend by her man. Now she has changed hands several times. She also has a younger sister, who is her The third girl, whose parents had no money at the time, and who was reluctant to give birth to a son-in-law, gave the youngest daughter to a money lender for 160 taels of silver. The girl hadn't reached the point at that time, and now she has been rubbed to death. So In comparison, although the third girl was bitter, at least she was redeemed by her parents, and now she has enough food and clothing, and has someone to take care of her daily life, which is ten thousand times better than those girls who were left in Liangzhou."

Mother He was stunned.Cao Jinxiu was always vague about the fate of the three concubine sisters, but it was always right for the eldest sister to get married.She also knew that her elder sister had always treated concubine children badly, but she didn't expect that the children she had seen in these few years were in such a miserable situation now.In contrast, Cao Jinxiu married a Wei Qianhu at the beginning, so at least she was a sixth-rank official.Not to mention that the life she lives now is much better than her sisters even if she lives separately.

Mother He looked at He Hongwen who was standing with his hands down.He heard the second half of Mrs. Zong's words, with a calm face and no surprise, it seems that he already knew it.Mother He was cruel, and said, "Hong'er, what did your mother-in-law mean just now..."

Mrs. Zong smiled: "I mean, ask my family's Heng'er to have another room and another courtyard."

Mother He had no choice but to change her words: "Hong'er, do you think it's okay to buy another house and let...Jin'er live alone?"

Seeing his mother's pitiful expression, He Hongwen felt uncomfortable.But he has to live after all, and he always has to make choices.

"It depends on mother."

Mother He is stupid, according to her?Did she let Cao Jinxiu leave the house alone?

He Hongwen looked at his mother: "My son chooses the house closer so that my cousin can visit from time to time."

Mother He closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.After a long time, he waved his hand feebly, "You...you can do it..."

The house was bought by Chu Heng. Among the many small courtyards his family was looking for, he chose the one closest to the Dudu Mansion in Fuyuan. Standing on tiptoe on the well platform in the yard, he could see the tallest tree in the back garden of the Dudu Mansion. tip.She felt that it was necessary to remind Cao Jinxiu that she was no longer He Hongwen's sweetheart.

At the beginning, Cao Jinxiu thought that for the sake of that person in the governor's mansion, He Hongwen might come and walk around often.But not long after, she realized that her calculation was wrong, because He Hongwen was even more embarrassed to come.What's more, this alley does not lead to the back door of the Gu mansion, what's the use of looking at the treetops, and the wife of the Gu family can't fly.

Mother He treated Cao Jinxiu well, she even gave her the most intimate Huangmao, and also handed over the [-] acres of dowry managed by Huangmao and his wife to her.Chu Heng arranged the people and objects that Cao Jinxiu would call and use very neatly, and she thought of everything that Mother He didn't expect.So Mother He also reluctantly accepted this reality. Before saying goodbye to her niece, she passed out for a few moments and cried for a few days afterward. The tears gradually disappeared.

Cao Jinxiu begged He Mu for several days, but this time He Mu could not go back on his word.What's more, when Mrs. He received the letter from the eldest son, she immediately wrote a letter in a rage to scold the third daughter-in-law and grandson, and told the eldest daughter-in-law to supervise Cao Jinxiu to move out!Cao Jinxiu had no choice but to pack up her luggage crying and crying.After thinking about it, I felt that it would be better to move out and have the property under my own control than to wait for death under Chu Heng's hands, so I said goodbye to He Mu in tears, and looked at my cousin several times with sad eyes, resolutely Without looking at Chu Heng, he boarded the car and left.

When she arrived at her new residence, she wanted to buy the slaves from the other residence.After two months, she completely figured it out: Except for Nanny Huang and Yusi, the people Chu Heng gave her were all born children of the He family, and all relatives stayed in the main house as errands. The two sons are also in charge of the main house.Chu Heng's rewards are always a little bit more generous than hers, so these people are at most perfunctory to her, and no one is willing to be her confidant honestly.

Moreover, she was exiled at the age of ten, and by the time she was supposed to learn to be a housekeeper, she had already had no family to manage, so she actually knew nothing about common affairs.It was the first time she knew that the people below were so greedy. The food expenses that Chu Heng gave to them were enough to cover expenses, but every month the cooks used various names to steal a few percent.She asked, and they replied, "That's the rule."Following her mother's example, she took up her identity and reprimanded her a few words, but in the end she didn't get the expected effect, and even the servants were even more scornful.She held back her anger and gave a reward, and they were a little better.

money, money!In her dreams, she dreamed that He Hongwen changed his mind and gave her 1 taels of silver.

When moving out of the main house, Cao Jinxiu originally said that Mother He was her mother-in-law and that she should come over every day to make peace, but the eldest wife of the He family who had the courage to come to supervise the site did not dereliction of duty, and immediately pointed out that the old lady wrote in the letter To put it plainly: move out immediately and never come back.Cao Jinxiu said that the He family couldn't tolerate her so much, life would be worse than death, she hugged He's mother's knee, crying and refused to let go.The eldest wife was afraid that He's mother would be too anxious to get sick again, so she had to make a personal favor, saying that if He's mother was sick and wanted to see Cao Jinxiu, she would send someone to pick her up, which was naturally not included.So Cao Jinxiu earnestly asked He's mother to come and pick her up often, and He's mother naturally agreed.

At that time, Chu Heng thought it was funny: Mother He felt that she couldn't do without Cao Jinxiu when she was used to the days without her; In [-], Mother He lived a good life with her in-laws and son.

Sure enough, at first, Mother He was afraid
