The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 231 The Smell of Rat Poison (1)
Mrs. Xu's mood hadn't calmed down yet. The little girl made hot tea and Zhao Jing offered it to her herself. A little sad.

"I'm so old, and I can live for a few more years. They can't wait to send me on the road. I think that when her man died, I rewarded her with 100 taels of silver and asked her to hire someone to send me off. Her man's coffin went back to his hometown, and the older people wanted to return to their roots, and I just thought it was not easy for them to follow me all these years." Thinking of the things she had done before, the old lady became more and more sad, and tea also cared She couldn't drink anymore, and buried herself in Zhao Jing's arms again and began to cry.

Now even Zhao Jing felt that there was nothing to do. Everyone said that she was a child, and Zhao Jing really learned a lesson.But it's really no wonder that Mrs. Xu is like this. In the eyes of others, her life has indeed been as smooth as a success. Back then, she just married a young man who made a living in the capital. A village girl turned into Mrs. Hou, how many of the childhood sisters who grew up with her did not envy her?There are quite a few people like Mother Han who cheated the Hou Mansion of money, but at the same time couldn't help but hate her.As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but a woman is guilty.

"Old lady, don't be sad. Now that you have recognized their true colors, it will be better to keep them away from them in the future. Fortunately, you are fine." Zhao Jing ordered the little maid to fetch hot water, and she stood at the door and took a look. Before there were any figures of Mother Han and Sun Yu'e, Zhao Jing's heart sank, she turned around and told Mother Zhang, "Go and find some young and strong daughter-in-laws, go and tie up Mother Han, and invite the eldest girl along with you. "

Zhao Jing is not afraid that Mother Han will run away. She is old enough to run away from the temple, and there are people in her family who are still in the Hou's mansion. Only after suffering a little bit can the old lady relieve herself.

Zhang's mother immediately regained her spirits when she heard this, and said yes repeatedly, and said to the old lady Xu: "Don't worry, old lady, this old slave must have brought her here, and I will ask you to ask clearly."

Unexpectedly, when the old lady heard this, she cried even harder. Thinking of raising such a white-eyed wolf by her side all these years, she beat her chest with hatred.Zhao Jing was busy trying to appease the old lady again, and gave Zhang's mother a wink, telling her to bring him over quickly.

In Linglong Courtyard, the little maid who had passed on the message had already left.Sun Yu'e straightened her dress and walked to the door, glanced at Mama Han, and said, "Mother Han, let's go, don't keep the old lady waiting."

Mother Han was stunned for a moment, and the expression in her eyes turned to Ai Ai, and she said to Sun Yu'e: "Miss, you said that you have to take care of the young and old in my family..."

Sun Yu'e glanced at her a little upset, but she was actually a little scared, but now that Master Hou is not at home, she can always be a little bit coquettish in front of the old lady, "Don't worry, I will be there for you in front of the old lady." You begged."

Mother Han froze and took two steps behind Sun Yu'e, when she suddenly heard a few maidservants running over in panic outside the door and said, "Miss, it's not good, Mother Zhang brought someone to fetch Mother Han..."

During the conversation, several young daughters-in-law had already walked in from the door of Chuihua. They were all servants of the Hou family. Because of Mama Sun, they could only do odd jobs in various places. Eager to try, Mama Zhang just said something casually, and everyone immediately picked up Mama Han.

Mother Han became scared at this time, and ran away almost reflexively, but was grabbed by two young daughters-in-law and pressed to the ground, screaming, and even Sun Yu'e, who was beside her, was frightened and stunned. It took a while to ask: "Mother Zhang, what are you doing? The old lady hasn't said that she wants to send Mother Han down!"

Zhang's mother glanced at Sun Yu'e, turned her head away, and said, "Young lady, you'd better not ask why, you'll know when you pass by, do you want to leave by yourself, or let them help you too? "

"You..." Sun Yu'e gritted her teeth anxiously, stared at Zhang's mother with rounded eyes, snorted coldly, and went straight to Songhe Hall.

Double Happiness had found rat poison in Jixiang's room, and Zhao Jing had never seen this kind of medicine, but I heard from Zhang's mother that there were often rats in the small warehouse behind the kitchen, and there was always rat poison there. So I wanted to call the maid to the kitchen to find the woman who was in charge of the warehouse, so that I could identify them carefully.Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Xu heard it, she stood up from the stool, took the package over, opened it with both hands, took a look, and burst into tears again.

Zhao Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's hands, while ordering the maid waiting outside, she said, "Bring in the water quickly, and clean the old lady's hands."

The rat poison in the paper bag was scattered all over the floor, the old lady shrugged her shoulders and sobbed, letting Zhao Jing take her hand to wash her hands.
