Chapter 102 Old Slaves
Grandma Su pointed to the first seat, which was where Qiu Wuhen sat when the family got together. Although he was the son-in-law, he was the backbone of the family and the first-ranking prime minister who was about to become prime minister in the future, so he was placed in the first place.
In the first place.
At that moment, Su Jinsong stood up, welcomed him in, and asked him to sit down on his seat.
Grandma Su had a kind face and happily introduced the middle-aged woman standing next to Qiu Wuhen: "This is Mom Xie. She used to be the old lady of the Xie family. Before the accident, her father was ill that day.
However, the old lady allowed her to go home and serve her, so she escaped this disaster. She always wanted to go back to Xie Zhai, because she was a slave of Xie Zhai. She was sold by her parents to the Xie family since she was a child. The Xie family can say
It was her home. When she heard that we had moved in, she went to find Li Zheng and wanted to ask Li Zheng to tell us and let her return to Xie's house to work."
"And she also knows that our finances are not well-off, so as long as there is a stutter, she will not pay a penny. After hearing this, I was very moved and felt that she was thinking of her late mother. Such a person is very rare, so I agreed. Mr. Xianggong's intention
How about next?"
Qiu Wuhen smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, the old lady's decision couldn't be better."
I thought it would be an old woman's expense for no money, so of course I would be happy.
The Su family used to be a large family in the capital, with a large number of servants. Now that there are no servants, life is certainly not as comfortable as before. Now is the time when we need people, and we can't ask for them. How can we not agree?
As for her origins, Arisato Masaru testified, and there should be no problem with her identity being innocent.
Xie's mother came up to greet Qiu Wuhen and said: "Mr. Sir, just now the old lady, madam, aunt and girls were all praising you! They said that you have special abilities and are first-class in treating doctors and solving crimes. In the future, I will have
Please bear with me if there is anything I can't do, and just point it out and I will definitely change it. I know that different masters have different personalities, habits, and ways of ordering people, so I will change it as soon as possible."
Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said: "I don't want any old or young slaves in the future. Besides, you are not an old lady bought by our family. You are a free person and can come and leave at any time, so there is no need to treat yourself as a slave."
Grandma Su nodded and said: "That's reasonable. I told her before, but she didn't listen. She said that even though our family didn't pay for it, when she entered this house, she was a mother, and she knew what she should do.
What, she will continue to do what the old lady did, and she won’t listen no matter what she says. Oh, it’s really hard for her.”
Although Grandma Su said there was nothing she could do, she was obviously relieved and happy as she spoke. It’s no wonder that she hadn’t called anyone for a long time, and now that she had one, she had this feeling back again, so she was naturally happy.
At this time, the fourth sister Su Jinyun came over and said, "Now that Mr. Xian is back, we can start dinner. The food is almost ready."
So, a crowd of people gathered around Grandma Su and came to the dining hall. Sure enough, the food was already set.
However, Xie Ma refused to sit down to eat together. Mrs. Su pulled her to sit down and said, "I feel sorry for you that you came to our house voluntarily to serve us and didn't ask for any money. You don't even dare to eat at the same table with us."
, that would be even more outrageous. There are only a few people in the old house, and we will sit together and eat together from now on."
Unexpectedly, Xie's mother refused to do it and said: "That won't work. I am a servant. I can do whatever I am. I am the old lady of the Xie family, and this identity has not changed. If you live in the Xie family, of course you are my master."
, I should still act as a mother, and I will eat the rest after you finish eating."
Seeing that she refused to sit at the same table, Su's mother said to Su Jinyun, "Why don't you go get her a small table and sit next to me so that we can eat together and talk."
Xie Ma agreed at that time.
Su Jinyun was going to move the table. Thanks to her mother's quick hands and feet, she ran to move a small table and a small stool, which was half shorter than the dining table. She took the food and sat there to eat.
Of course, the Su family's dining table will not be as full as before. Each person still has a bowl of rice, a pot of broth in the middle, and several pieces of meat floating on it. You can count them all. Because Qiu Wuhen requires that everyone
Each person must have a piece of meat for the meal, so this time there were ten pieces of meat in total, as well as some vegetables, and a few plates of pickles, which were pickled at home.
Xie Ma’s meals are also like this.
Qiu Wuhen saw that they all followed his requirements. They had a bowl of white rice and broth every day. This was the basics. It could at least provide food and clothing. This was like living alone. He couldn't help but nod secretly.
Su Jinsong gave everyone a piece of fat.
Mother Su said to Mother Xie: "Our family is having a hard time these days. Fortunately, our husband-in-law can make money, and the food and clothing in this family can still be guaranteed. I wonder if you can get used to it? In the past, you were used to eating and drinking in the Xie family.
Understand."
Xie Ma waved her hand and said: "You can't say that, I have also lived a hard life since I was a child. To tell you the truth, I haven't seen any meat at home for more than a year, but I can still see meat here! This is better than
My parents’ family is a hundred times stronger, what else can’t I be satisfied with?”
Hearing this, Grandma Su and others nodded happily.
Grandma Su suddenly stopped her chopsticks and said, "Did you hear any unusual sounds last night?"
Everyone was startled and looked at her.
Grandma Su continued: "I heard someone grinding next door, and there was a roar. I couldn't call you, so I got up and went to have a look, but the next door was empty, there was no one, and strangely,
As soon as I left, the sound disappeared. When I came back to sleep, I heard the sound again. Although the sound was not loud, it was clear that it was the sound of grinding. I thought to myself that there was no stone mill in the next room, so where could it be grinding?
What about the sound? So I looked again, and there was still no sound at all. Do you think it’s strange?”
Everyone looked at each other and looked at the old lady worriedly.
Mother Xie smiled: "Maybe the old lady was frightened by the talk about this haunted house and had auditory hallucinations. In fact, before the accident that day, nothing weird had ever happened in the Xie family. Really, everyone
We are harmonious and happy, but who knows how we could invite three murderers to kill the whole family? Alas, it is all the fault of the family's money."
Mother Su stared at her: "Were there really no unusual noises before?"
"It's really not true. Otherwise, if it is really a haunted house, why would I come back? I don't believe it is haunted. It's just that I don't dare to live in it alone. I only wanted to come back when I heard that you guys lived in it.
Yes, it’s true. I have lived here since I was a child. I have regarded myself as a member of this family and as my own home. I want to come back. Old lady, you don’t have to be afraid. I have grown up here for decades and have never encountered
If you've ever seen any weird things, this is a very peaceful and clean place, don't believe those nonsense."
Grandma Su nodded and said, "It must be because I listened to what they said about ghosts and the like, and the Yin Spirit Master found a lot of corpses, so I was somewhat scared, so I might have had some hallucinations.
