Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 297 Empathy

The old lady quickly helped and took out a gray money bag.

“Give Jiaren a degree in education, and marry Jiayi a daughter-in-law! Don’t marry someone like me!”

Wu Cuihua forced the money bag into Jiaren's hand and looked at the door again, but unfortunately no one came in again.

She was disappointed, the light in her eyes slowly extinguished, but she still thought about it, "Mother, grave, grave..."

The old lady quickly responded, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. You will be buried in Broken Gold Beach, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The family and friends will visit you and worship you every year and festival. You are the second child Your first wife, no matter who he marries from now on, he will bow down to you."

Wu Cuihua was finally relieved, with the last tear in the corner of her eyes, she finally let go of her son's hand.

Jiaren stared blankly at his mother's hand, which was dry and thin, nothing like in his memory.

In my memory, my mother rarely did housework because she was lazy, and her hands were white and fat. It hurt the most when she caught him and his brother pinching her a few times.

 It seems like, in the blink of an eye, it became like this.

 Why did it become like this?

 “Mother!”

In the yard, Jiayin heard her brother's cry and suddenly raised her head to look at the room with red eyes.

 She has no feelings for Wu Cuihua, but she feels sorry for her brother who has lost her mother and her second uncle who is suffering.

The same must be true for the family members. If they had a choice, they would rather Wu Cuihua live in a good and prosperous place than die at such a young age in early spring.

pity…

The housekeeper was also worried. If he had known that Mrs. Wu who was washing clothes was the daughter-in-law of the Li family, he would have taken more care of her no matter what.

Now, this man died in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, still so miserable. How will he walk around in front of the Li family in the future?

If the Li family becomes angry, he will be resented!

Jiayin sat aside, seeing the butler sitting on pins and needles, and comforted him, "Butler, my foster father said, no one who doesn't know is guilty."

The chief steward almost burst into tears when he heard this, and knelt down in front of the young master.

"Miss, this old slave really didn't know that she was from the Li family. Moreover, when he rescued her, he treated her for a long time, but she was too seriously injured. The doctor said that she could live for a month. I didn't expect that she would be alive for a month. She was not dead all the way to Xindu, but she refused to take medicine, as if she didn't want to live anymore.

"I had no choice but to arrange her to live here. I didn't assign any work or sign a slave contract. On weekdays, she eats and drinks the same as everyone else. She is crazy and hurts her face. Everyone is far away. No one bullied her. In the spring, she suddenly started washing clothes for everyone, asking for money, but everyone gave her money, but she didn't spend any money and refused to see a doctor or take medicine. What are you doing with money..."

Jiayin guessed that in the spring, their family came to Jiangnan, and the Marquis often went to Broken Gold Beach. Wu Cuihua probably heard someone talking about it in the Marquis's house, and originally had the intention to die, so she changed her mind and planned to earn more money to leave for her son. .

Just then Mrs. Li came out holding Li Laosi's hand. After hearing most of it, she quickly helped the housekeeper with her own hands.

"Don't worry, chief steward, our Li family is a reasonable family. You didn't know she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family at first sight. She was just a dying person on the roadside. It would be nice to save her and bring her to Xindu to help seek medical advice." , no one can take care of an outsider like a biological mother. Secondly, she was about to die before. Thanks to you, she lived for two more years and met her family before she died. It is our family's responsibility to take care of her. Thank you."

 The chief housekeeper breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart was finally settled.

 He quickly wiped away his tears and bowed his head respectfully, "Thank you, madam, for your understanding."

 The old lady sighed, "Everyone is destined to die. No one can blame her for what she is doing now."

She sat on the chair, hugged her granddaughter, and said, "I still need to ask the housekeeper if he can open the back door. Our family needs to buy a coffin to carry the person back to Broken Gold Beach."

"Old Madam, you are polite, as you should. Also, the back door is for slaves to enter and exit, and it is better to go through the front side door..." The big housekeeper suggested, but the old lady immediately rejected it.

"No need, butler, just go through the back door. We have already caused a lot of trouble to the Marquis Mansion. If we go through the front door, we are afraid that outsiders will talk about what happened in the Marquis Mansion, which will be bad for the Marquis."

The old lady is so sensible, and the housekeeper is really grateful.

He quickly sent someone to help Li Laosi buy a shroud and a coffin, and then carried them in through the back door.

The old lady asked for warm water and a cloth, wiped Wu Cuihua's body, hands and face herself, and then put on a clean middle coat and shroud. Li Laoer and Jiaren hugged Wu Cuihua and placed her in the coffin.

The back door was not far away, and the Li family did not need help from outsiders. Li Lao Er and Jia Ren carried the head of the coffin, and Li Lao Si carried the tail of the coffin, and they successfully got out of the back door. The old lady was afraid that her granddaughter might be tainted by her young age, so she directly entrusted the good news to the housekeeper.

"Will the Marquis come back in the evening? Then let Fu Niu live here today. The house will definitely be a mess. She is a child, so it is best to hide away."

 The housekeeper hurriedly agreed and went home without making any fuss about the good news.

 At home, we have to build a funeral tent, choose a cemetery, and hold a memorial ceremony for the funeral, so we really can’t take care of her.

Moreover, Er Bo Niang has done a lot of evil things before, but this ending is really disappointing.

 Every member of the family may have mixed feelings, and even if she went back, she would be in a hurry and have no choice.

The housekeeper didn’t dare to make any more mistakes, so he played with Jiayin in different ways this afternoon.

 Lunch is also very rich, with six dishes and one soup, plus white rice and egg custard.

Jiayin tried her best to eat as much as she could without crying or fussing, and even took a nap.

 In the afternoon, the Marquis finally came out of the palace.

The servants of the Marquis Mansion stood guard at the entrance of the palace. When they saw their master, they hurriedly told the story from beginning to end.

Mr. Hou frowned, thinking this was too surprising.

 From the old stories of the Li family, he knew about this second daughter-in-law.

I thought that because of the hectic move of the capital earlier, this man would have died in the north. Unexpectedly, not only did he survive, but he actually died in his palace...

 “Go back to the mansion!” The Marquis got on his horse and galloped all the way back to the mansion, directly entering the main courtyard.

 In the east wing, Jiayin hadn't woken up yet, and the big kang was burning very hot.

There was a maid standing by, dozing off with her chin in her hands.

As soon as the Marquis entered the room, the maid knelt down and did not dare to raise her head.

The Marquis asked, "How long have the eldest lady been asleep?"

"It's been an hour since I returned to the Marquis." The maid quickly responded.

The Marquis waved his hand and chased the person out, then picked up the fat girl, felt that her forehead was not hot, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiayin woke up in a daze and saw her adoptive father. She didn’t know what was wrong, but she suddenly felt aggrieved.

“Father, oh oh, my second uncle is dead, and my brother is crying so sadly.”

“The foster father knows,” Mr. Hou gently patted the little girl’s back and comforted her softly, “the foster father knows that you feel sorry for your second uncle and brother.”

“No, the second uncle was very bad and bullied me. I didn’t like her. But she died and she was very pitiful..."

Jiayin choked with sobs, thinking of her unscrupulous parents in her previous life. Maybe one day they died, and her mood would be like that of her brother at this time.

She has been here for more than two years now, and she is probably dead in that world. I don’t know when her parents, who have always regarded her as a burden and a stain, discovered that she was gone.

 In other words, even if you discover it, you won’t care.

 She always thought that having a family who loved her so much in this life would heal her from the pain in her previous life.

I didn’t expect that at such a time, I would suddenly burst into tears...

“Father, I miss my grandma, my dad, my mother...”
