Hurry up and be a good mother-in-law

Chapter 116 The Daughter-in-Law Was Once a Brothel Girl 1
"Mother, I left the food at the door, you will come out to get it later." The thin and gentle woman knocked on the wooden door and put down the bamboo basket in her hand.

She lowered her sad eyes and was about to leave when she heard the old lady's familiar and weak voice coming from the room, "Don't rush, come in."

Tian Wanniang thought she had heard wrong, so she stayed where she was.

It didn't take long to hear footsteps coming out from inside, and opened the door.

Shi Suan sticks out his gray-haired head, "I thought you were gone, why are you standing here, come in."

He reached out and picked up the bamboo basket by the door, turned around and went back to the house.

Tian Wanniang followed in a daze as if in a dream.

"Lock the door." Shi Suantou reminded without replying.

Tian Wanniang didn't know why, so she obediently followed suit.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the old and narrow room one after another. Shi Suan put the bamboo basket on the square table and took out all the meals inside.

Tian Wanniang subconsciously wanted to go forward to help, but suddenly she showed a wry smile and stopped at the farthest position from her mother-in-law.

After the meal was set, Lycoris held the bowl and took a few bites. Feeling that his hungry body had gained some strength, he slowed down his eating speed.

I was so hungry when I came here, but I was a little embarrassed.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that silver was buried in the ground under the head of the bed. Go dig it and have a look." Chewing the food in his mouth, Lycoris said in a vague voice.

"Ah?" Tian Wanniang's sad eyes showed deep consternation.

Seeing the mother-in-law looking up, she hurriedly said yes, went to the kitchen to find a chopping knife, and squatted beside the bed.

Shi Suan pointed out the location for her, "It's under the pillow, dig it."

Tian Wanniang leaned down and used the hatchet to loosen the ground one by one, digging down little by little.

Lycoris is eating a meal that is not delicious, and flips through the plot.

Originally born in the Tang Jiang family, she has been widowed for many years and has a son Tang Zhenglan under her knees.

Tang Zhenglan was twenty years old, married his wife Tian Wanniang two years ago, and never had children.

Tang Zhenglan is a scholar, with a bright personality. She was a juren at a young age. She went to Beijing last year to rush for the exam, but she hasn't returned yet, and there is no news of her.

Everyone guessed that he failed the exam, and he had no face to come back to see his wife, and stayed in the capital to prepare for the next exam.

Such examples abound.

But for other sons who stayed in Beijing, they would send letters home to report that they were safe, explain the situation, and ask for silver taels.

It's really rare for someone like Tang Zhenglan to walk away without making any sound.

Not to mention the various speculations from the outside world, a few months after Tang Zhenglan left, there was a sudden heavy rain in his hometown. The flood destroyed his house and washed away the crops that were about to be harvested.

The people around have their own losses, but none of them are as serious as his family.

Sudden such ordeal, the original body was old and weak, unable to withstand it all at once, and fell seriously ill.

Tian Wanniang pawned the only jewelry she had, and the money she got was only enough to hire a doctor, not enough to buy medicine.

She begged all the people she knew, but no one had money to lend her.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was dying of illness, she followed the advice of a half-acquaintance and sold the brothel by herself, and finally got the money to save her mother-in-law.

She rented a small house near the brothel to accommodate her unconscious mother-in-law, took care of the patients during the day, and returned to the brothel to pick up customers at night.

Yuanshen woke up and found out that his daughter-in-law had fallen into the dusty world, so he cursed angrily, and his words were extremely insulting and unpleasant.

Tian Wanniang was sobbing when she scolded her.

Tell her to get out after scolding, don't dirty the house.

Tian Wanniang left sadly, and never stepped into the house rented with the money she sold herself.

She still takes care of her mother-in-law as a mother, and prepares three meals in advance every day and delivers them to the door.
