2340 Chapter 2341-reason for argument
did he ever tell you that he was unhappy with the man his mother chose? ” Gu Xin asked.
“Yes, I am. Just last month, he had mentioned it. He said that his mother wanted to introduce him to a maidservant who served a young lady from a rich family in the capital. She had even introduced him to the eldest daughter of a village in the southern suburbs of the capital. He felt that the young miss’s maidservants were all children of the family, and the contract of selling one’s body was a death contract. Not to mention whether they had the intention to follow the young miss and become a concubine for the future son-in-law, even if they didn’t become a concubine for the son-in-law, their target would be the steward and the steward’s son. Why did he marry her? He felt that the eldest daughter in the suburbs of Beijing was too outstanding. She had lost her mother and eldest daughter, but she still helped with the Family Matters. She was not afraid of hardship and exhaustion. He felt that a girl like her would suffer if she followed him.”
“He did complain about his mother about this. But at other times, he was concerned about his mother. He wanted to spend money to ask my chef to teach him how to make fish soup and some food. He wanted to cook for his mother. In order to save money for him to marry a wife, his mother was very strict on the use of money. He couldn’t persuade her, so he could only cook fish for his mother. His mother didn’t know how to cook, so he was willing to learn how to cook. It doesn’t cost money, and you can also recover after eating it. ”
“Mother and son rely on each other. He was forced to speak loudly. He had to force himself to be strong. Otherwise, he would be easily bullied by others. I remember when he first came to the shop, he was 13 years old, thin and small. At that time, I had a younger cousin who was the same age as him. I sympathized with him, so I tried to let him eat more every day. In these three years, he has grown tall and strong, and his voice is very loud. If he doesn’t make a move, he can indeed scare people.”
“It’s just that he’s angry.”
Third aunt DU’s eyes were a little wet when she said this.
Gu Xin knew what she wanted to say, but it was all gone at such a young age.
If it were her, she would be sad too. After all, she had watched her grow up. Who wouldn’t be sad when something like this happened?
However, Gu Xin did not follow the emotions of others. She remained calm and asked, ” “According to what Mr. Du said, the relationship between the two of you is quite good. Then Mr. Du, have you ever heard the deceased mention if he had any girls around him that he liked?”
Third aunt du was stunned and then shook her head, ” “No, I haven’t. Qiang Zi was loud, tall, and strong, so the girls were afraid of him. All he could think about was how to earn money and bring his mother to the capital. He once told me that when he was twenty years old, he must go to the capital and settle down. He was just saying that second Madam Gu’s business center is opening for business, and he’s planning to rent a small shop and bring his mother along to start a small business.”
Oh? ” Gu Xin nodded her head and asked, ” then, does Mr. Du know what kind of person his mother, the Zhong family, is? ”
Third aunt du said, ” the Zhong family used to embroider very well. They were grateful to me for taking in qiangzi and letting him eat his fill. They gave me a lot of embroideries. Zhong-Shi is kind and gentle, she doesn’t have any conflicts with others and knows how to be grateful. She is a good person.”
Third aunt du sighed, ” “Sigh, she’s not an easy woman. Qiangzi’s father died when he was seven years old. It was not easy for a woman like the Zhong family. In the beginning, she would still be bullied. It was said that there was a lot of trouble in front of widows. The situation will be slightly better when qiangzi grows up.”
