Chapter 366
The old woman smiled wryly and said: "Where is it that you are an official wife who enjoys blessings, but has some food and clothing. My son wholeheartedly serves the people, and some salary has been given to the common people. If it weren't for him, my two grandsons..."

Speaking of this, the old woman's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't want to say any more.

Yingyun also poured a bowl of water for her, and said: "In this world, there are not many good officials like your son. Why are you unhappy, mother-in-law? He is a rare and upright official who benefits the common people, isn't he the son of your mother-in-law?"

The old woman was a little relieved, but also a little annoyed, so that Yingyun couldn't see through her thoughts for a while.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Yingyun said, "It really is your son, mother-in-law! This is because you have taught your son well..."

The old woman sighed and said: "What good is there? He can't even protect his family. What's the use of protecting the people?"

"Why do you say that?"

The old woman was suffering from no one to talk to, and now her memories were brought back, and she said sadly: "At that time, my two grandsons fell ill because he donated all the money in the family to the poor and couldn't raise money for a while. It was only when I got the money that my illness was delayed. It was my daughter-in-law who borrowed a little money from the folks and went to the pharmacy in the city to buy the medicine, but my poor grandchildren still couldn't be saved..."

Seeing the regret and sadness on the old woman's face, Yingyun couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't say that it was wrong for the county magistrate to forget his personal interests because of public affairs, but after all, the family was destroyed by him. No wonder the old woman would always be worried about it .

The old woman wiped her tears secretly, and said: "I know that I am just a woman, and I don't understand any righteousness. I just want my family to be safe and sound. The two grandchildren left, and the daughter-in-law also blamed him for not caring about the family. I couldn't think about it for a while, so I voted river……"

Yingyun sighed in her heart, did not expect such a story behind it, and comforted: "Grandmother, don't be sad, your son's achievements are obvious to all, and now I heard that the emperor has come to Haining County in person, and he will definitely praise him. It will get better gradually."

The old woman wiped away her tears, forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

Yingyun stood up and said, "Grandma, we still have to hurry, so I won't disturb you."

"Okay, go slowly." The old woman stood up tremblingly.

Yingyun was about to say goodbye to her, but she heard a stray cat calling in the corner, and jumped onto the wine jar, meowing indiscriminately.

The old woman said: "The city has been soaked in water. There have been a lot of wild cats in the alley recently. Be careful."

"Grandma Xie reminded me." Yingyun glanced at the gray-black wild cat, its eyes were round like glass beads, a bit scary.It jumped around the wine jars, probably looking for food, but the wine jars were all empty, and it returned unhappy several times.

The wine jar placed on it was almost knocked down by it, and it swayed and made a sound of collision.

"Wu Shun, go and drive the cat away." Yingyun looked at the old woman worriedly, and said, "If the cat breaks the wine jar, mother-in-law has bad eyesight and feet, don't let the debris all over the yard hurt you." feet."

"Hey." Wu Shun took the order and immediately went to chase the cat away.

The old woman said gratefully: "You guys are kind. These wine jars have been sitting there for many years. They are all unwanted things. Desheng won't allow them to be sold."

Yingyun smiled and said, "That's your son's frugality."

While talking, Wu Shun bent down to pick up the wine jar, but almost slipped his waist, and sighed: "Oh, this empty jar is heavier than a full bottle of wine!"
