Chapter 942 Rejection
Mrs. Liao San nodded slightly, "I think we are running out of time. Two days ago, the boss and his wife went to the Chu family to meet with Mrs. Chu and Doctor Bai."
If the old lady is gone, the three brothers in the family will have Ding You stay at home for three years, and even the grandchildren will have Ding You stay at home for one year. It is easy for others to say, but the eldest brother has already taken the position of Pavilion Elder. If Ding You stays at home for three years, , the position will be replaced by someone else, which is a big loss to both the Liao family and Dafang.
The loss of their third house was not big. The Liao family already had the eldest man in the cabinet and became a first-rank minister. It would be difficult for others to rise further if they wanted to.
Her master can sit as a third-rank minister, which is already the limit. If he wants to move up to the second-rank and first-rank ministers, he has to wait for the eldest master to step down from the position of senior minister. Otherwise, there are two first-rank ministers in the family, and this is still a prosperous imperial court. Something that has never happened before.
However, the eldest master is still young now, only in his forties. Even if Ding You stays for three years, after he recovers, looking at his body and bones, he can still serve as an official for at least ten or twenty years.
Twenty years later, the third master of her family will be old.
Therefore, Mr. Liao San has now reached this position and is at the top of his game. Even if Ding You is at home, there is no loss and Mrs. Liao San is not worried.
"Mr. Bai went to see him, what did he say?" Mrs. Zhuo could guess that since Mr. Liao and his wife had taken action personally, Mrs. Zeng would definitely persuade Dr. Bai to go to the Liao family for the sake of Zeng Jing and Liao Jingtang. trip.
"I'm going. Doctor Bai said that the old lady is old and it's a disease of the elderly. Even if he prescribes medicine to help the old lady recuperate, she won't have much time." Mrs. Liao San said.
Mr. Zhuo's guess was right. After the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liao family went to see Mr. Zeng and Dr. Bai, Dr. Bai didn't want to take action. It was Ms. Zeng who persuaded him a few words, and Dr. Bai left Liao for the sake of Mr. Zeng. A trip home.
However, Mrs. Liao has been seeking death in recent years, threatening her children and grandchildren with her body at every turn, and drinking medicine every three days.
Is that medicine taken casually?
Over time, even if there is no problem, drinking can cause problems.
No, Mrs. Liao's body is getting worse day by day. Now she is old and will not live long.
"Did Doctor Bai say how much time is left?" Zhuo asked.
The Chu family and the Liao family have been close to each other in the past few years. If Mrs. Liao doesn't have much time, she will have to take Ayu there to visit.
Mrs. Liao San said, "I didn't say the specific time. There's no way to be accurate about this kind of thing. Even if it's really a miracle doctor, it's not that accurate. However, according to what the miracle doctor Bai said, it will only be these two months."
"So, spring will start after the new year?"
"Well, it's almost the same. The brothers are already discussing the funeral arrangements. My sister-in-law also asked the housekeeper, my mother, to start preparing for the funeral."
When Mrs. Liao San spoke, there was no trace of sadness on her face.
Also, no woman would like to have a strong and unruly mother-in-law above her head, especially nothing that Mrs. Liao has done in the past few years can be said out loud.
Now, Mrs. Liao is about to die. As a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that the ladies of the Liao family are eager to see her die. How can there be any sadness.
Mrs. Zhuo sighed, "This guy is really unexpected."
Last year, she was desperate enough to give her widowed granddaughter to her grandson. Unexpectedly, in just one year, this person would die. While the two were talking, Xia Zihan came with the twins.
"Oh, look at these two boys, they are so well-raised. They are so greedy." Mrs. Liao San had sharp eyes and could see it from afar. She laughed, stood up and came over, and reached out to take Chu Yixuan from Nuanyu's hand. .
Chu Yixuan turned his head away and said coolly, "I don't want Aunt Liao to hold me, and I can go by myself." He struggled and got off Nuanyu and wanted to go by himself.
After being rejected, Mrs. Liao San did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she smiled and said, "I think these two boys look very much like their father, and they also have similar temperaments."
He is indifferent and distant to others, unlike a child over one year old.
Mrs. Zhuo smiled arrogantly and said, "My Aqi was not so indifferent when she was one or two years old. This is called a person who is better than his predecessor."
"Then it's up to your second son. I think of your three sons, the third one is the most easy-going." Mrs. Liao San followed her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and returned to sit in the pavilion.
Chu Qing stepped forward and made another pot of scented tea for the three of them. After pouring the tea, he and Chu Qiao Nuanyu retreated ten meters away.
Chu Yijie got off Xia Zihan, and after the two brothers saluted Mrs. Liao San and Mr. Zhuo, they went to play on the grass.
Xia Zihan then spoke up and mentioned Liao Fangyi, "Last time you wrote to me, saying that instead of going back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, you would celebrate the New Year in Tuanghuaicheng. My grandmother and I have prepared some New Year gifts and are about to send them to Tuanghuaicheng together. Madam, do you have anything that you can bring with you?”
Seeing that Xia Zihan and Mrs. Chu were being kind to their daughter, Mrs. Liao was very happy, with a smile on her face, "Yes, I have prepared a lot of things, but... a few days ago, the old lady fell ill. The illness came quickly and severely. I have been lying in bed for many days. I am afraid that my time is running out, and Fang girl is afraid that she will come over to see her. "
The smile on Xia Zihan's face froze, and her expression stopped, "Xia Tian is still in good health, why...have the second brother of the Liao family and my cousin been notified? They have to come back, right?"
If Mrs. Liao's time is really short, Liao Jingtang and Zeng Jing will definitely bring their children back to see her for the last time. Liao Jingtang and Mrs. Liao are, after all, biological grandparents, breaking the blood relationship between bones and tendons. No matter how much estrangement there was between the two of them before, now, when Mrs. Liao is dying, everything has faded away.
"Notified, notified two days ago." Mrs. Liao San sighed, with a bad look on her face, "My sister-in-law is still worried. You don't know, the old lady has reached this point, and she still can't worry about her granddaughter. Yesterday, I forced my sister-in-law to go there in person. The second cousin's mother-in-law's family wanted to take the second cousin's mother-in-law back to serve her. You said that her husband's family would not let her go, and they deliberately wanted to keep the second cousin's mother-in-law at home with their son. My sister-in-law went to pick her up. Isn't this an obvious attempt to embarrass them? ”
There were five or six daughters-in-law, grandsons-in-law, and a lot of maids and mothers-in-law at home. With so many people, there was no way they could serve her well. But she was thinking about having a married granddaughter who was now a widow to serve her. This was a rumor. When they go out, people outside don't know what they will think of the Liao family's daughters-in-law.
Everyone will guess that they are unfilial and do not serve the old lady well.
Sigh... Look, her old lady is getting more and more confused as she gets older, and she doesn't think twice about doing things.
However, as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't say this openly.
But look at all the things the old lady has done in the past few years, there is nothing that is not stupid, especially to the cousin's daughter-in-law, she is eager to break up the couple's attitude, is she doing human affairs?
