C19 Old Uncle Xu Was Angry

"Is this a new one?" Madam Lee pointed.

I nodded and was just about to say that it was a side room when I heard Madam Lee gently say, "I heard from the villagers that Madam He is from a wealthy family, but she came here to experience her life. I didn't think so before, but I do believe her now."

These words made me feel elated. My husband and I have never lived such wealthy lives, but since Madam Lee said it like that, it must be because we have an extraordinary temperament.

While I was feeling pleased with myself, Madam Lee looked towards Old Uncle Xu's house and said, "Even the latrine is so well-built, isn't it very particular?"

Patting me on the shoulder, Madam Lee smiled and said, "From this toilet, I can tell that Madam He came from a wealthy family. Otherwise, how could she create the same toilet?"

Suddenly, I heard a burst of wailing coming from Old Uncle Xu's room...

Perhaps because my expression was not too good, Madam Lee then used a handkerchief to cover her mouth. "Madam He, I have misspoken and said such rude words. But don't blame me for speaking too much. I just want to get closer to my sister."

As she spoke, she placed a hand on mine. "I can see that you're different from others. Furthermore, we can chat for a bit more …"

I don't know where these words came from, but from start to finish, I didn't say anything …

However, Madam Lee's words could be said to be a timely gift. I was naturally extremely grateful. In the midst of my happiness, I looked at the variety of dishes in the basket, but there wasn't any food.

Seeing how enthusiastic Madam Lee was and how she treated me as a good friend, she asked, "Madam Lee, can I borrow some rice? "I've just moved here, so many things haven't been prepared yet …"

Madam Lee pulled my hand and said repeatedly, "Alright! "Sister, come and get it from me."

I don't know when I became a sister again...

I handed the basket to my husband, explained the situation, and left.

"No, how can I be assured that you can come back when it's dark?" As he spoke, he turned to follow me.

"Sister is so lucky." Madam Lee smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will teach his wife to Young Master He in her entirety."

However, it seems that my husband is still worried. Ever since Zhou Feng Er died, when my husband was worried that something had happened to me, he hasn't been separated from me for even a second, not to mention this Madam Lee whom we just met.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Madam Lee's awkward expression, my husband followed behind us.

Madam Lee pulled my hand and said with a smile, "Sister is really lucky to have such a person who knows both the cold and hot."

Hearing this, I was afraid that Madam Lee's husband was not her own man. I didn't want to get involved with other people's family matters, so I just smiled.

"In the past, just how glorious was my husband …" At this point, her nose twitched.

Madam Lee was the one who talked along the way. Madam Lee's husband was once the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and according to her, this was a very useful job. Many people wanted to squeeze their heads into the Ministry of Revenue, but sometimes they had no choice but to give up.

Madam Lee's husband was an honest man who worked diligently every day, but he never came to the capital. Others falsely accused him of taking bribes, so he was dragged out of his office, his family was raided, and they were chased out of the capital.

The couple who had nothing left returned to Madam Lee's parents' home, but their parents were unwilling to accept them. They said that their married daughter had poured water on them and chased them away.

However, Madam Lee's brother had secretly given them a hundred silver taels. Originally, they wanted to do business and open a tavern, but their business had failed. In the end, they came here with the remaining silver taels to buy the house and land deeds.

As she became more and more upset, Madam Lee finally couldn't hold back her tears. I could only lend her my shoulder to lean on.

I did not feel the same way about this. After all, I had never experienced the days of a rich person, so I did not feel the hardships of the present day. I felt at ease with Madam Lee and her family.

Madam Lee's home was quite remote. She had to walk in a zigzag for a few miles before she finally reached her home.

I naturally felt grateful when I thought about how Madam Lee had also come to my house just now. In comparison, I felt that Madam Lee's husband was truly not a cold and warm-hearted man.

"Sister, wait here."

Madam Lee said as she walked into the courtyard. I'm a bit confused.

Through the crack of the door, I could see the oil lamp flickering in the room. I was afraid that Madam Lee's husband would be in trouble in the room.

After a while, Madam Lee came out with a small sack and handed it to me. "Sister, are these enough?"

After receiving the heavy rice bag, I said, "It's too much. I'm really sorry."

"No problem." Madam Lee laughed.

"Wait!" I took out the copper coin from my waist and was about to hand it over, but Madam Lee refused.

She smiled and said, "We are just friends. Sister, please don't be polite. Otherwise, we will be separated."

He then looked at his husband and said, "Since Young Master is here, I won't send you off."

By the time my husband and I returned home, the moon was in the middle of the sky.

At this moment, Old Uncle Xu is no longer crying but is floating around the door non-stop. I think, if someone were to see him like this, they would be scared to death …

"Why did you guys come back so late!"

Old Uncle Xu said with dissatisfaction, "I thought you guys had run away because of an excuse."

"Where else?" "But I don't have the money to mess around with you."

"That's more like it!" Old Uncle Xu muttered.

The more he looked at his husband, the more he disliked him. He shouted at his husband, "Hurry up and cook. I wonder if Ling'er is hungry?"

Her husband gave him a fierce glare before entering the room. Following that, the clanging of pots and pans could be heard.

Just as I was about to follow my husband, I was stopped by Old Uncle Xu. He said with a wronged expression, "Ling'er …"

"What's wrong? You're still not in a good mood? " I asked.

Old Uncle Xu nodded with grievance: "Your husband is too perfunctory, this old man no longer has any dignity, this old man is actually a ghost that lives in the toilet …"

"Alright!" I pushed his body away from me and patted his shoulder. "There are others who are sleeping outside. What kind of people do you like, uncle?"

"It's better to sleep outside than in the latrine!" Old Uncle Xu shouted.

"Alright!" "Then I'll help you take it down tomorrow!"

"Don't, Ling'er, I've found out, the most vicious thing is a woman's heart!"

Although it had only been two days, he was still satisfied after eating the food his husband made for him. He felt as if he was about to become a fish in water after eating fish for two days.

Old Uncle Xu seemed to still be angry at us for calling him over to "eat" his food, but he didn't come either. However, we had a very quiet night …

Initially, I thought that I could naturally wake up from my sleep with a shout that sounded like a broken gong waking us up. I am a little suspicious, are we at odds with this Pengyang Village?
