Chapter 60 Pocket Money
When Chen Sufen heard in the room that her mother-in-law and Gu Taohua taught Xu Si a lesson today, she felt relieved, as if her mother-in-law had also vented her anger on herself.
Chen Sufen was in charge of the kitchen, and she quickly prepared a table of dishes.
Lu Zhaoyang’s meals are specially prepared in clean bowls.
Tong Huaqiong checked it carefully and found out that there were no flour products inside before indicating that it could be brought in.
Lu Zhaozhao carried it in, and when he brought it out again, Tong Huaqiong found that he barely moved much.
This may be the appetite of a rich man, just like a cat.
Tong Huaqiong didn't interfere. Anyway, Lu Zhaoyang would not get sick as long as he didn't touch pasta. Whether he could save his life in the future had nothing to do with the Gu family.
Tonight’s meal is particularly sumptuous, including mutton, fish and roasted chicken.
Tong Huaqiong tore off the four legs from the two roast chickens and distributed them to herself, Man'er, Gu Taohua and Chen Sufen in turn.
Gu Yaozu watched helplessly, but Tong Huaqiong was indifferent and tore off a chicken wing and gave it to him.
After experiencing the lesson of jujube cake, Gu Yaozu no longer dared to snatch Man'er's chicken legs, and obediently gnawed on the chicken wings.
He was afraid that he would cause trouble and he would not even be treated like chicken wings.
Although Liu Yue'e felt uncomfortable, she gradually accepted Tong Huaqiong's preference for Man'er.
This scene fell in Gu Dahan's eyes, and he was so shocked that he almost lost his job.
For the former stepmother, the bones of the roasted chicken could not even fall into Man'er and Chen Sufen's bowls, let alone the drumsticks.
Chicken legs are exclusive to Gu Taohua and Yaozu.
When they were in the house before dinner, Chen Sufen told him that the stepmother had gotten better during this time and she loved their eldest family.
Man'er tugged on the clothes she was wearing and said that her grandma had bought her a new one. She also said that her grandma loved her very much and would sleep with her in her arms.
Of course he didn’t believe what his wife and daughter said.
Even if Tong Huaqiong's partiality for Man'er and Chen Sufen happened right in front of him, he thought he was wrong.
It’s not surprising that he thinks this way, it’s just that he was suppressed too much by his stepmother in the past. He doesn’t understand why his stepmother is so good to his eldest family and his family, and from the looks of things on the road, he has become better than before. It makes sense.
He didn't understand what had happened these days when he was not at home. Chen Sufen went to cook without going into details.
Gu Dahan's heart was itching unbearably. He wanted to ask immediately what happened.
After the meal, Tong Huaqiong ordered Liu Yue'e, Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe to clear the table with some bad bamboos, while she pulled Chen Sufen into the room and took out a tael of silver and handed it to her.
Chen Sufen was too scared to accept it.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Take it, this is your pocket money. You are tired from making pastries these days."
Chen Sufen said fearfully: "Mom, I don't want it."
Tong Huaqiong said: "Take it, I also gave you the peach blossom, this woman must have money in her hands."
Chen Sufen still did not dare to accept it, and said: "I have no place to use the money. ”
Tong Huaqiong insisted: "Whether it's money or not is another matter. Whether you keep your money as a private property, spend it on yourself, or give it to Man'er, it's your freedom. You don't have to tell me if I don't interfere. ."
While Chen Sufen was still hesitating, Tong Huaqiong got angry.
"Have you been so distracted these past two days that you dare not listen to my words?"
Chen Sufen is most afraid of Tong Huaqiong getting angry. When her mother-in-law gets angry, her fear of Tong Huaqiong is triggered. I took the money without thinking too much.
"Mom, thank you mom. I will be filial to you and work hard in the future." Chen Sufen promised in a panic.
At the same time, I felt like crying. This was the first time in her life that she had private money.
Chen Sufen held the silver tightly.
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said gently: "From now on, I will give it to you every month when I make money. I see you have made all those pastries at home today, which is really good."
Chen Sufen got Her mother-in-law's praise made her eyes red, and she didn't forget to add drama to Liu Yue'e who was lighting the fire, saying: "My brothers and sisters have helped a lot!" Tong Huaqiong chased Chen Sufen back to the house.
"Okay, I won't need you tonight. You can go back to your room."
Chen Sufen knew that her mother-in-law wanted her and Gu Dahan to have a good time together. This was because her mother-in-law was considerate of her.
She did not continue to be pretentious, and she had a lot to say to Dahan, so she wiped away tears and returned to the room.
"Tell me, what happened? What is going on? I think she is not the least bit kind to you and Man'er."
As soon as Chen Sufen entered the room, Gu Da Han took Chen Sufen's hand and asked.
The "she" in Gu Dahan's mouth naturally refers to Tong Huaqiong.
After Chen Sufen sat down, she stretched out her hand with red eyes, and the silver in her hand almost blinded Gu Dahan.
“This is the money my mother gave me. She said it would be used as personal money for me. She also said that she would give it to me every month she earned money.” Chen Sufen choked up.
Although she repeatedly emphasized that she did not need the silver, the feeling of getting the silver in her hands still made her excited.
My mother-in-law is right, if you have money, you will have confidence.
Gu Dahan carefully observed Chen Sufen under the lamp. Chen Sufen was wearing new clothes, her cheeks had flesh, and she looked younger than before when she smiled.
What's more important is that the timid and timid little spirit is gone, replaced by confidence and vitality.
Gu Dahan remembered that Chen Sufen was so gentle and smiling when she first got married. Later, under the guidance of her stepmother, she became more and more silent and sad.
Thinking of this, Gu Dahan couldn't help but feel sad.
“Has she become like this? Does she have any plans for us?” Gu Dahan looked worried.
Chen Sufen thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I think my mother has really changed. If you ask me what happened at home, this matter started half a month ago. My third brother wanted to study at Wanliu Academy."
Gu Dahan stood up when he heard that Gu Jingzhe was sending Man'er to the Zheng family to celebrate her studies at Wanliu Academy.
He allowed his stepmother to work hard and work hard outside to make money for Gu Jingzhe to study. What was the purpose?
Isn’t it because they wanted to treat his wife and daughter better?
This was somewhere he couldn't see, and he almost sold his daughter.
Gu Dahan, who has always been honest, couldn't stand it any more, so he went to Gu Jingzhe for an explanation.
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me." Chen Sufen grabbed Gu Dahan.
“I stopped Man’er from going out and knocked my mother unconscious. When my mother woke up, her whole person changed drastically.”
“First, I took the second brother Taohua and the second younger sister together. Yaozu beat and scolded him, took away the money from the Zheng family, and said that he would change his mind and lead everyone well. A good life. I didn’t believe it at first, but my mother started making money the next day. She baked cakes every day and took her peach blossoms to the town to sell them. She has been selling them for many days.”
“Otherwise. , How could you meet Niang and Taohua and the others on the way today?”
"Don't mention it, just by learning how to read with my uncle when Chong's mother was a girl, you can see that she is not an ordinary person. The pastry recipe she came up with was so popular that even Huang Yuanwai in the town drank it after eating it once. Let our family make the cakes for his mother’s birthday party.”
Seeing Gu Dahan’s expression of disbelief that Tong Huaqiong was leading the family to live a good life, Chen Sufen hurriedly explained that Tong Huaqiong had been making cakes these days. Tell Gu Dahan about the situation of selling cakes.
It was also mixed with the fact that Tong Huaqiong, the sister-in-law who made the whole family respect her, also said it.
The direction of the plot made Gu Dahan very confused.
"I know you feel sorry for Man'er who was almost sold, and I feel sad too. But don't ask your third brother for an explanation. Mother has stopped letting him go to school and said she would let him farm at home. For For the third brother, not letting him study is more uncomfortable than killing him.”
When Chen Sufen talked about Gu Jingzhe dropping out of school, she seemed to have a look of regret on her face.
At the same time, he felt that not letting Gu Jingzhe study was the best punishment for him.
Gu Dahan was choked to death when he heard that Gu Jingzhe dropped out of school.
Gu Jingzhe’s study is the top priority of the Gu family. All things bundled together are not as important as Gu Jingzhe’s study.
Why did the stepmother get stimulated? She said she wouldn’t let him read it, so she stopped letting him read it?
