Chapter 94: Promise to whom
The relationship between Mr. Liu Er and his brothers was quite good. When Mr. Liu passed away, he specifically told his sons to be respectful to each other and to be harmonious among brothers, which is the foundation for the development of the family. Mr. Liu particularly valued the friendship with his brothers.
Originally, if Mr. Liu asked him to do something, he would agree to it nine out of ten times. For example, the matter of adopting Liu Yujiang had a considerable proportion with Mr. Liu's face and affection.
"Do you know why your uncle came to see me?" Mr. Liu Er asked a little strangely when Liu Ruosi told him this.
"If you come at this time, you can probably do anything." Liu Ruosi smiled and said, "I'm just guessing."
Liu Ruosi said this, lowered her voice, and said something like this in Master Liu Er's ear. Master Liu Er thought for a moment and nodded.
Mr. Liu Er stood up and personally welcomed Mr. Liu into the house. Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi both saluted Mr. Liu, and Liu Ruosi personally served the tea. Mr. Liu smiled at Liu Ruosi.
"The third girl is getting better and better. I still remember that she only reached my knees at that time. In the blink of an eye, she was a big girl." Mr. Liu said with a smile.
Liu Ruosi observed the words and expressions and saw that Mr. Liu had something on his mind. After serving tea, Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi came out of the house so that Mr. Liu and Mr. Liu could talk properly.
Just as Liu Ruosi and Mrs. Liu Er sat down in the west room, the little girl outside came in again to report that Grandma Liu was here.
"She is very busy these days." Mrs. Liu Er felt a little surprised and said, "Why do you have time to come here today?" Moreover, she followed Mr. Liu in the door.
These days, because Mrs. Liu is ill, all the housework has fallen on Grandma Liu’s shoulders. Grandma Liu is a little busier than usual, and there are fewer people coming to their place. It must be
Too many things are holding me back.
"She came right after uncle arrived." Liu Ruosi said thoughtfully, "She doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything."
As Liu Ruosi said this, she called the little girl Chuwu who was waiting at the door to come in and gave her a few instructions in a low voice.
"Go over there and tell me that grandma is here. I'm here, so there's no need to hide it from me." Liu Ruosi sent the fifth day out and asked the girls to invite Grandma Liu in.
The little girl went out, and after a while, Grandma Liu came over in a hurry.
"... I'm really busy and I want to come and see my aunt and third sister, but I never came. Aunt and third sister, don't blame me... It's really... ugh..." Grandma Liu said later,
Sighed.
The whole family has a lot to do, and with so many things happening recently, it has become even more complicated. Grandma Liu has been under a lot of pressure recently. Liu Ruosi looked at her, and Grandma Liu's face turned pale.
As usual, there is still a faint circle of blue and black under the eyes.
It's not just that she's busy taking care of the housework. It should be that there are too many difficult things to do. That makes Grandma Liu so haggard.
"How can I blame you? I know you're busy, so...it's not easy." Mrs. Liu Er said with a smile when Grandma Liu said this.
"Auntie is still considerate of me..." Grandma Liu said, her eyes were red. Let's not talk about other things for the time being, because of the matter between Haitang and Chan'er, she is very important between Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu.
It’s hard to be a human being.
After chatting for a few words, Grandma Liu got to the point.
"My wife is sick. Thanks to my aunt, I sent someone to visit me. At that time, my wife was in a coma and couldn't see anyone. Knowing that my aunt sent someone there, my wife missed my aunt very much. She wanted to see her and talk to her.
I hate not being able to get up... I was sent here to see if my aunt is busy. If she is not busy, please invite her over. With my aunt chatting with my wife and explaining things, she might be able to get better soon.
Some."
Mrs. Liu/Grandma came to ask Mrs. Liu to come and talk at the request of Mrs. Liu.
"Since the eldest lady has sent you here, don't say that there is nothing important. Even if you are busy, you should put it down. The most important thing is to go see your wife first." Mrs. Liu Er said.
Mrs. Liu was ill, and Mrs. Liu planned to visit her because of the situation. Moreover, Mrs. Liu specially asked Grandma Liu to come over and send a message to invite her to come.
"Auntie still feels sorry for me." Grandma Liu said, "Then please go now."
"Okay." Mrs. Liu Er nodded.
"Mom, I'll go with you too. I also want to see my uncle." Liu Ruosi said.
"Okay, of course I will take you there." Mrs. Liu Er said.
Grandma Liu seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
Liu Ruosi and Mrs. Liu Er straightened their clothes and, accompanied by Grandma Liu, went to Mrs. Liu’s yard. When they arrived at Mrs. Liu’s yard, a little girl had already reported in. Sisters Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan
They took the girls and daughters-in-law out and welcomed Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi into Mrs. Liu's house.
Mrs. Liu was lying on the couch, her head was wrapped with a band, her hair was only pulled back, her face was a little sallow, she looked really sick. Seeing Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi coming, Mrs. Liu
When he was busy, he was helped to sit up.
"I'm rude." Mrs. Liu said with a forced smile.
"Lie down quickly." When Mrs. Liu Er saw Mrs. Liu like this, she hurriedly stepped forward, helped Mrs. Liu and said, "You are not an outsider, so I don't want to be polite like this. I came to see you. I hope you will be better soon. Why?
These false rituals are getting worse and worse, so what's the point?"
After greeting each other for a while, Mrs. Liu invited Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi to sit on her couch.
"Go and do your work." Mrs. Liu said to Grandma Liu, "I have no choice but to work hard for you these days."
"It's nothing hard. I just hope that my wife will get better soon." Grandma Liu said with a smile. She said goodbye to Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi, and then left with the others.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Ruosi, then at Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan. Liu Ruosi knew that Mrs. Liu wanted to talk to Mrs. Liu Er alone, and it was not convenient for her to be here. However, Liu Ruosi only pretended
She didn't know, she just looked around the room casually.
"Huh? Big brother isn't here? Why haven't you seen big brother in the past few days?"
Liu Ruosi's seemingly unintentional words made Mrs. Liu blink her eyes violently several times.
"Why don't you three girls know?" Mrs. Liu told Liu Ruosi, "There is something going on in the yamen, so they sent your eldest brother out of the city. He has been there for a few days, and it will probably take some time before he can come back."
"Oh, no wonder." Liu Ruosi smiled and said, "It seems that I heard someone say something that day, but I didn't take it to heart. My eldest brother doesn't always only care about things in the city, so why was he sent out this time? I don't know where to go.
It's not that far away, but it takes several days to get back, which is really worrying."
Mrs. Liu lowered her eyes and laughed twice.
"We don't understand what's going on in the yamen. Considering how old he is, nothing will happen to him."
"That's what the eldest lady said." Liu Ruosi glanced at the eldest lady Liu and said.
Ever since the Haitang incident broke out that day, Liu Ruosi had not seen Liu Yujiang in the house. Now hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Liu Ruosi could not help but guess. Could it be that Liu Yujiang was trying to avoid the trouble at hand, so he made excuses
There was something going on in the yamen, so he went into hiding.
This is a good hiding, otherwise, if Liu Yujiang were at home, grandma Liu wouldn't be the only one who would be worried now.
Mr. Liu must let him do something, and Mrs. Liu will not let him go. Mr. Liu has raised his wife for so many years. If Liu Yujiang says he doesn't know, how can Mrs. Liu believe it?
Looking at Mrs. Liu's expression at this time, she was clearly suspicious of Liu Yujiang.
The long house is no longer monolithic. So, will Mrs. Liu be as dedicated as she was in the past regarding Liu Yujiang?!
"I'm feeling bored here, eldest girl, second girl, please take your third sister to your room to play for a while." Mrs. Liu said to Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan.
Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan both stood up. Liu Ruosi knew that Mrs. Liu wanted to send her away, so she glanced at Mrs. Liu Er.
"Go." Mrs. Liu Er said to Liu Ruosi, and then ordered the girls who were following her, "Have a good time and take care of the girls."
Liu Ruosi then got up and followed Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan to their sisters' bedroom.
Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan, like Liu Ruosi, lived in the back room behind Mrs. Liu's main house, but it was not an embroidered building. Liu Ruoyuan lived in the west room, Liu Ruoyuan lived in the east room, and the two sisters shared the same main room. Everyone said that Liu Ruoyuan
sat in the room.
Liu Ruoyuan was absent-minded, Liu Ruojuan was preoccupied with things, and Liu Ruosi sat down, just chatting and fiddling with needle and thread.
At this moment, in Mrs. Liu's room, Mrs. Liu was wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and crying to Mrs. Liu Er.
"...Am I the unvirtuous person? There are one on the left and one on the right. There are still fewer people in this room? Where is the old man? There is another person, who can accommodate him. It's me who has pulled him down, and still can't
He also gave him his biological niece... He always had to tell me whoever he liked, and kept it openly and openly in the house, which is also the rule of the family. He raised such a child behind my back, and the child is so big.
What do you think of my face? You don’t know, you think that I am unvirtuous, jealous, and intolerant of others..."
Mrs. Liu complained like this, and Mrs. Liu couldn't say anything, she could only comfort her with kind words.
"...After making such a fuss, they forced me to admit it. The child also wanted to be raised in my name. If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place! There has never been such a rule!"
"It would be fine if, as she said, she is a girl from a good family." At this point, Mrs. Liu suddenly changed the subject, "But it turns out she is not. Second Madam, who do you think this woman is?"
"Who is it?"
"...I bought it with money from a place like that!" Mrs. Liu sneered.
