Chapter 264 Peach Tree
After hearing Mrs. Tang's words, Sun's mother smiled and said, "Who said it was not? Many people in Suzhou praised her for her foresight and courage than ordinary men. When many big families involved in the major problems of division of families, they were tempted and dragged on, and finally made their brothers turn against each other. It was common for the family to not prosper. Moreover, the four masters of the Dong family each had their own abilities and their own thoughts. While the old lady was not confused, they separated the family clearly and avoided many worries. After that, the four families were doing business, closed the door and lived their own lives, and opened the door and were close relatives. When they encountered difficulties, they had a helping person. It was really wise to do it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Tang nodded with a smile. Seeing that Mother Sun looked tired, she didn't say anything more, and asked her to go down and rest for a while before she could talk to her after she recovered.
Mother Sun thanked Mrs. Tang with gratitude and went out with Dong Yulu.
Seeing this, Qian Mama, Biqing and Juxin hurriedly said goodbye to Mama Li and hurriedly followed Dong Yulu's footsteps.
On the way back with Dong Yuli, Sun's mother kept looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around her, with a bit of nostalgia in her eyes. Dong Yuli held her hand and asked with a smile, "Wet nurse, are you thinking about your past life again?"
"That's right?" Sun's mother looked around. The Tang family had changed a lot compared to when she was still living here. But when she saw the path she had walked when she was young, her thoughts seemed to have returned to the past. Dong Yuli was considerate and didn't say much. The two of them slowed down and walked around the Tang family yard. As they walked, they came to the door of the yard where Dong Yuli lived. Sun's mother asked in surprise, "Miss, do you live here?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Dong Yulu asked in confusion.
Mother Sun smiled and said, "Come and have a look with me." Walking into the yard, pointing at a peach tree and saying, "Oh, this tree is so tall?" He walked around the peach tree and explained to Dong Yulu, "Miss, don't you know? This was planted by the wife himself. It was a small sapling as thick as a wine cup. Now it is lush and leaves are lush, and it can block the wind and rain alone. Unfortunately, it is not February and March, otherwise the peach blossoms will bloom, and the yard will be filled with the fragrance of flowers, which will definitely look more beautiful."
When Dong Yuli heard that this inconspicuous peach tree was planted by her mother, she immediately became interested and walked under the peach tree and looked up. The sunlight fell on her face through the layers of leaves, warm and gentle, as if her mother was full of love. She seemed to have a picture of the past before her. The young mother struggled to dig holes and plant trees here, watering and fertilizing it, hoping that it would grow up quickly all day long. Now the trees are lush, but my mother is no longer there.
Things change, and people always make people feel sad.
When Mother Sun saw Dong Yulu's face showing a sad look, she immediately stepped forward with regret and said, "Look at me, I don't have to tell you what you do? Don't think too much, it will only make you feel uncomfortable. If you feel bad when you look back, it will be all my sins."
Dong Yuli walked out of the tree and asked curiously, "How could my mother think of planting a tree? What did she think at the beginning, did her grandmother agree?"
Sun's mother smiled, "Mrs. I was only in her teenage years old at that time. One year I was invited to visit my close friend's house. It was the good time in March. There was a peach tree planted in the yard, with pink petals on the branches. From a distance, it looked like pink clouds. It was so beautiful. The lady was moved at that time, but she was a handsome man, and even if she had anything to want in her heart, she would not say it clearly. Moreover, the Tang family's family was not well off at that time. As the eldest daughter, she could not share the worries of the family, so how could she ask this to and that to add burden to the family?"
Dong Yulu was about to shed tears as she heard this. Unexpectedly, her mother has been so sensible since she was a child, and it was so painful to restrain herself.
Sun's mother continued, "It was still the close friend who discovered the clues and didn't say anything at that time, but a few days later, she asked someone to send two peach trees over, saying that it was a branch of her Taoyuan, which was for her wife to plant. The wife liked it so much that she immediately went to discuss with the old lady. After getting the old lady's consent, she happily chose the address and did everything herself and planted it here. However, one of them did not survive and died within a few days. Mrs.
I was sad for a long time because of this, and felt that it was because I didn't take care of the flowers and trees. Although the other tree had survived, it had not grown very well, and it was thin and small. There were several winds and rains in summer, and it almost broke it in the middle, making the lady unable to sleep well when she heard the thunder. No matter how heavy the rain was, she had to come over to see if it was blown down by the wind. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, it had grown into. If the lady saw it, she would definitely be happy."
"Yeah." Dong Yulu nodded slightly, "Mother will definitely see it."
Mother Sun was afraid that she would think too much, so she hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand. Fortunately, Dong Yuli was not a pretentious person. Although she thought that her mother would feel regretful, sadness was fleeting. She smiled and looked at Mother Sun and helped her into the house.
Dong Yulu was also worried that Sun's mother would be restrained by Mrs. Tang, and even if she had eaten, she would not dare to eat too much. As soon as she entered the door, she asked Qian Mama and Biqing to cook a bowl of vegetarian noodles for her, and asked Juxin to make tea and prepare fruits. Sun's mother even said no, but several people immediately took action. Before she could reach out to stop her, the person was already gone.
Dong Yulu took the opportunity to ask about Mrs. Liang.
Dong Yuli has had a lot of dealings with her and knows that she is a person with a lot of thoughts. She cannot be too calm when encountering major issues like family division. She will definitely take the opportunity to make some trouble.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Sun's mother would not hide her. She said truthfully, "When I came to Hangzhou, she was still making trouble at home. Sometimes she said that the old lady was unfair and partial in her work, and sometimes she said that the fourth master had no pockets and no ambition, and she dared not fight for anything. She would never raise her head in the Dong family for the rest of her life. After hearing this, the old lady asked the nanny around her to send a message. If Mrs. Liang really felt that the Dong family was not good, she could go back to Liang's house to live with Li now. The Dong family was willing to give her a letter to Li. If the fourth master felt lonely, she would marry another person.
When Mrs. Liang found out, she was so angry that she fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she became much more honest. She only dared to whisper to her confidant mother. The Fourth Master didn't even go to her yard. Recently, she either rested at Aunt Wu or at Aunt Zhou. Mrs. Liang sent someone to invite her, but the Fourth Master refused to go back. She also said that Mrs. Liang complained every day, and he was afraid of being resentful and was uneasy to sleep at night. She was so angry that Mrs. Liang fainted and woke up. The backyard of the fourth room was completely in chaos, and it was as lively as a big show every day."
Dong Yuli couldn't help but laugh, "My father is quite smart. Knowing that getting involved with Mrs. Liang at this time will only make my grandmother even more dislike. Sometimes I can't guess him thoroughly. Are he smart or stupid?"
"Who do you say? The Fourth Master?" Sun's mother smiled and shook her head. "If you think the Fourth Master is stupid, then I can only say that you are really stupid. The old lady is such a shrewd person. The Fourth Master is trained by her. Do you think he will be stupid? He just doesn't want to get involved in the family affairs. In fact, it's nothing wrong with being a wealthy and idle person like this. No matter which room you make a fortune, he will be able to eat without his bite."
Dong Yuli sighed as she heard this, "Maybe this is the 'whoever is the life' that grandmother often talks about?"
Mother Sun continued, "When Mrs. Liang saw that the fourth master refused to support her, she found someone from the Liang family to come to her house. She didn't know what to discuss. There was no result when I left."
Dong Yulu frowned slightly, "Does the Liang family have too many good days and their minds are covered in lard? What do they think they are? Why should they participate in our Dong family's affairs?"
"Who knows?" said Sun's mother. "The Liang family is a clever family. They think that no one's brain is as useful as theirs. In fact, what they do is a clown-like trick. Just listen to this, don't take it to heart. If the Liang family dares to get in, the old lady will have her own way to deal with it, and their family's good days will come to an end."
Dong Yuli said with distress, "What does the Liang family have to do with me? Whether it is good or bad, they are all for themselves. I just feel sorry for my grandmother. At such an old age, it is really a waste of energy to deal with such people."
