Reborn Doctor

Chapter 45

Kou Tong settled the accounts with Su with his fingers: "There is a small kitchen here, and from tomorrow onwards, we will light a fire and cook by ourselves. Since we live here as guests, we must have the consciousness of being guests. We must not take over other people's homes." It's cheap. Let the maid serve us, at least half a penny a month. If we pay the money ourselves, it's not worth it. We can do it ourselves, why do we have to hire her? Do it alone! If you let Sifang out, you will say that we have taken advantage of others. Mother, I don’t want to be looked down upon by others.”

The most important reason Kou Tong didn't say was that after her previous life, she no longer trusted anyone from the Kou family.It is imperative to be on guard against others, she does not hope that if she does something, there will be an ear report to report to the Purple Court immediately.Although Mrs. Lu may not do this, she is still worried.

"As long as you can pinch and count!" Seeing her like this, Su also smiled: "I know what you mean, we live here, don't we still have to pay the rent?"

"How can I do that?" Kou Tong blinked his eyes and said, "They occupy our six-bedroom and half house. We haven't collected rent from them for so many years. Now, we only live in this small courtyard. , there is no need to give them any more money!"

"Tong Niang is really capable!" Su Shi joked with a smile: "As a doctor, she also knows how to plan carefully. If she marries into the Zheng family in the future, she must be a good housekeeper!"

"Mother..." Kou Tong smiled a little vainly: "It's so good... why are you mentioning this!"

"Okay, okay!" Seeing that Kou Tong was uncomfortable, Mrs. Su thought she was shy, so she said, "Let's finish the meal, then clean up the house, take a shower and go to bed early."

"Yeah!" Kou Tong also felt hungry: "After eating, I have to boil a big bucket of water. I'm so hot today, I sweat a lot, I want to take a good bath."

Inside the Cicada Courtyard, mother and daughter Su and Kou Tong were busy eating and packing up, while Mrs. Kou, Mrs. Anpinghou, was sitting in the room of Mrs. Lu in Ziyuan, complaining very unhappy.

"...Mother, look at her like that, it's so irritating. I'm her aunt, and I'll be her mother-in-law in the future. It's really pissing me off that she talks to me like this!"

"Okay, Peony!" Mrs. Lu couldn't help frowning when she heard her daughter's complaint. She was so smart all her life, how could she give birth to such a stupid girl.She gave birth to three sons and daughters, except for the eldest son who was promising, the remaining two really didn't follow her at all.When she just married into the Kou family, she first got a boy in one fell swoop, and then gave birth to twins. She controlled the Kou family inside and out, up and down.

At that time, the Kou family had not yet separated, and the nine brothers all lived together. As the daughter-in-law of the first line, she was naturally different from others.Because she had to preside over the middle school, and the family affairs were cumbersome, the eldest son was taken away by his mother-in-law to raise him.She kept her youngest son and daughter with her all the time, but she was very busy, so she neglected the upbringing of her children. After she discovered that her youngest son and daughter had developed such a supercilious temperament, it would be too late to correct them.

She kept her daughter by her side for a while, but her daughter was about to get married.Even if she wanted to teach, it was too late!
Over the years, because of his simple mind, putting everything on his face, and his temperament, his daughter suffered a few times when fighting against her mother-in-law.

Now I have to say goodbye to the eldest son of the concubine, thinking of her child, who loved her so much when she was at home, and married to the Hou's mansion to enjoy the blessings, but who knew that she would suffer such grievances, it really hurt the child Mudan.

Mrs. Lu's heart softened a little when she thought of this, if she hadn't been too negligent at that time, how could she have allowed her daughter to develop such a temper, after all, it was because she was a bad mother.

"Peony!" Mrs. Lu softened her voice, coaxing Mrs. Anpinghou and said, "I know you're not happy about what happened today, but in my opinion, it couldn't be better!"

"Mother, why do you say that?" Mrs. Anpinghou didn't understand Mrs. Lu's meaning.

"Your mother-in-law just wants you to choose a lady from a famous family for that concubine, who must be born in the first place, but also look good! Look at Tongniang, everything meets the requirements, it is really suitable."

"But she..."

"I know you said that she has a bad temper and is rude to you!" Mrs. Lu carefully explained to Mrs. Anping Hou: "She was raised in the mountains with the Su family, so what can she know? If there are disadvantages, it is a little rude , this is a trivial matter, you can teach her slowly. With a personality like her who doesn't understand anything and doesn't hide it, it's the most suitable for her to marry into your family! Think about it, if you really find someone who looks like you Yi Baishun, but hiding a traitor behind his back, will be of great disadvantage to you in the future. Think about it, is this the reason?"

Mrs. Anping Hou heard this, and after thinking for a while, she felt that what Mrs. Lu said made sense: "Mother, you are right! She just doesn't understand anything, and I will be able to handle her in the future!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Lu clapped her hands and said, "What's more, Mrs. Su will be in our house from now on. As long as Mrs. Su lives, she will live by looking at you. Where can I find all the things?"

Mrs. Lu's earnestness and kindness made Mrs. Anpinghou very happy: "That is, when she enters the door, if she is obedient and obedient, when my brother Xuan takes over the position of Marquis and separates the family, I will show mercy to her." She points money to send them out! If she is disobedient, then don't blame me for being ruthless, and I won't give her any money!"

"That's right!" Seeing her daughter turning the corner, Mrs. Lu said with some relief: "You should think so, but don't show it in front of others. Your child suffers because you are too honest. What's the matter?" Everything is shown on the face. It must not be like this in the future, do you understand?"

"Understood, mother!" Mrs. Anping Hou held Mrs. Lu's arm like a little girl: "With my mother protecting me and helping me, how could I suffer? Thanks to my mother!"

"You!" Mrs. Lu sighed as she saw her daughter's careless appearance.

She originally thought that Su's mother and daughter had been away for many years and their life must be very difficult, so she showed mercy and brought their mother and daughter back as a small favor, not worrying that Su's mother and daughter would not listen to her.But now it seems that they are living a good life, not to the point of being stretched.That Tongniang is still very good at medicine at such a young age, the Su family should not be able to deceive her.

But no matter what, Su Clan and the others are still back?After all, she is also the elder of the Su family. As an uncle and grandmother, she should help her niece and granddaughter to arrange their marriage, let alone marrying into the Anping Marquis Mansion?The mother and daughter of the Su family are away all year round, so they don't know anything about the Anping Hou Mansion at all!
This matter is very easy to handle!I'm afraid that if I want to reveal myself a little bit, the Su family's eagerness to love her daughter will definitely post it.

Mrs. Lu smiled with satisfaction. After this matter is settled, wait two more years for Sister Yan to marry Brother Xuan, and Mudan will be able to enjoy life with peace of mind!

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just getting dark, Kou Tong was woken up by the heat.

When she woke up, she found that Su Shi was no longer by her side.

She sat up straight away, put on her clothes, and just as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Mrs. Su come in with a bucket of water from outside!

There is no well in this courtyard. If you want to use water, you have to go out through the courtyard gate and go around to the public well behind the courtyard to draw water.Last night, the mother and daughter ran back and forth several times before they could fetch enough water to take a bath.

"Mother, why did you get up so early? Why did you go to carry water by yourself, why didn't you ask me to come with you?" Kou Tong hurriedly ran to carry the water with Mrs. Su, jumping out one sentence after another.

"I see you are sleeping soundly, so I want you to sleep a little longer!" Su put the bucket on the door of the kitchen and said, "Since you're up, change your clothes quickly. I've already been to the big kitchen and brought breakfast here Yes. Let's eat quickly, after we finish eating, you and I will bring these gifts to Nanny Yuan, and ask her to help us deliver the things to each room!"

"Then don't be too anxious!" Kou Tong said: "We have a whole day today. And even if we are anxious, the fourth uncle and grandmother will host the middle feed every morning, and the servants and maids in the family will report to her, so , I am afraid that the fourth uncle and grandmother will not have time to see us!"

"So we have to get up early to greet your fourth uncle and grandma!" Su Shi combed Kou Tong into a round bun, and inserted a small jade hairpin into the bun, saying: "When you greet, I will mention the matter of living separately to your fourth uncle and grandmother, if she agrees, I will go out and buy some rice noodles and come back; if she does not agree, we will pay the kitchen for food every month!"

"Oh!" Kou Tong returned to the room, combing his hair while asking Su Shi: "Mother, why did Nanny Yuan help us?"

"Why did you think of asking this?" Su Shi said, "Because Nanny Yuan is the son of the Kou family, and she is a sister with your father's nanny!"

She always thought that Nanny Yuan was the accompanying room of the fourth uncle's grandmother, but she never thought that Nanny Yuan was the child of the Kou family, let alone that Nanny Yuan had such a relationship with her father.

The mother and daughter had breakfast in a hurry, cleaned up again, and went to look for Yuan Nanny with the gift they bought yesterday.

Knowing their intentions, Nanny Yuan accepted all the gifts, and promised: "Don't worry, Mrs. Fifteen, I'll go and deliver them right away. Before breakfast, the masters and misses in each room will definitely receive them!"

Mrs. Su thanked her again and again, and followed Kou Tong back to the Cicada Courtyard.

After half an hour, seeing that the time was almost up, Su Shi took Kou Tong to the Purple Courtyard.

Mrs. Lu had already woken up and was washing her hands. Su Shi and Kou Tong waited in the bright hall for a while and saw a group of people headed by Mrs. Anpinghou Mrs. Kou meandering into the Purple Courtyard.
