Chapter 197 Accountability
Ding's pager has taken a few steps to the door. Hearing Aunt Shen's words, a sullen breath came out again, but it was not easy to turn back and argue with her, so he had to speed up his pace and strode away.
She really hates dealing with these people, but she is a family, and she can't hide.
Xiao Ju listened to Aunt Shen's instructions and held the silver hairpin and a silver bracelet in her hand. She never thought of using a brocade box, so she just held it and sent it to the East Courtyard.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the whole Hao family knew about it.
The person who helps Aunt Shen speak naturally wants to say that Aunt Shen is a Bodhisattva's heart. She not only does not care about Ding's page, but also finds a way to help her mother's family solve the difficulties. Where can she find such a good person?
Not long after Ding Page got married into Hao's house, even if there were a few people with a strong sense of justice in Hao's house, how could he stand up and speak for her? I only dared to say a few words quietly at the bottom, saying that Aunt Shen's move was really too much. How could she want to help others? It's obvious that I want to see other people's jokes.
Before, Master Hao may have been afraid that the old lady would be worried, so he did not tell the old lady about this matter, but Aunt Shen asked Xiaoju to do this. Is there any reason that the old lady doesn't know?
When the third entry into the courtyard of the south courtyard, the old lady sat on the couch with her eyebrows slightly twisted, with one hand on the cotton pad, and her eyes were nowhere to fall, as if she was thinking. Wan Niang sat on the brocade by the bed and hammered the old lady's legs with moderate strength.
"Wanniang, in your opinion, what do you think of the page?" The old lady looked at Wan Niang and asked faintly.
Wan Niang also understood what the old lady's question meant in her heart. She didn't move her hand and only said, "Old lady, have you forgotten why the page was married to Hao Mansion at the beginning?"
The old lady nod her head and frowned and said, "I know that Zhongyi told me that it was because Ling Er was seriously ill and needed someone to be happy, and Ding page was the most suitable candidate, so Zhongyi agreed that Ding page to pass the door."
Wan Niang said with a faint smile, "Isn't that the case? Old lady, think about it, with such a background as a page, I have always followed the rules in the house. I haven't done anything wrong, and now I'm pregnant, which is rare. Since she married into Hao's house, she is from Hao's house, and she can't take care of the affairs of her mother's family.
The old lady said, "You mean that Ling Er will be held responsible for this matter?"
Wan Niang shook her head and said, "Old lady, that's not what I mean. Ding Niazi's mother's family is not going well. It is also human-normal for the young master to want to take her mother's family.
The old lady snorted softly and looked cold. "Ling Er has been following Zhongyi since she was a child. Who can use it and who can't use it? Can't he figure it? If Ding's page hadn't blown the pillow wind in his ear, would Ling'er have allowed that kind of villain to go into the rice shop to be a steward? It can't be said that it's just a muttering on the page, so I agreed to her.
Wan Niang is not happy or angry, and her hands are still very regular to help the old lady hammer her legs.
I think she was also not happy with her mother's family at the beginning, so she has no foundation to stand in Hao's house, and she will always be looked down upon. But she can guarantee that she has never blown any pillow wind in Master Hao's ear, and she has never felt that it would be useful to blow the pillow wind.
Nowadays, if such a thing happens to Ding Page's mother's family, Wan Niang will inevitably put herself in her shoes and think that it is not her fault.
"Old lady, yes or no, why don't you call Ding Page here and ask? If not, if she is pregnant with the young master's child now, she can't let her be wronged. That's all right. If it's really her own, she should mention her. This kind of thing can't be done again. Hao Fu's business is not something that she can interfere casually. Wan Niang said softly.
The old lady pondered for a while and thought about what Wan Niang said. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. She agreed with Wan Niang's words and asked her to go to the East Courtyard to call the Ding page, saying that she was called to talk.
At that time, Ding Page sat on the couch angrily, and the hot stove in front of her could not make her feel comfortable at all.
Aunt Shen asked Xiao Ju to put the hairpin bracelets on the side table. The silver jewelry flashed a different kind of light under the sunlight, which made her, who had always liked silver very much, particularly annoying.
From the perspective of a modern person, she is actually not willing to spend her mind on the internal fight with Aunt Shen. After all, this kind of thing is really a little boring. What's the point of fighting with her family? But obviously, some people don't think so.
If she can, she really wants to deal with Hao Ling's separation, but even if she thinks with her toes, it is clear that separation is impossible. Unless Mr. Hao goes one day, Hao Ling may split up with Hao Yu.
For the stupid things Chen Yuan did, Ding's page can only say that he hates iron but not steel. Originally, with her nature, it was impossible for her to agree with Hao Ling to let Chen Yuan do the matter, but Hao Ling was too considerate of her and didn't ask what she meant at all, and directly let Chen Yuan go to work. Now, when such a thing happens, it is impossible for her not to take responsibility.
Donger lifted the curtain and entered the room and whispered, "Young lady, Qiu Lan in the old lady's yard came over and said that the old lady asked you to come and talk."
Ding Niazi was in a good mind and thought that the old lady must have known about it.
It's a blessing, not a curse, and it can't be avoided. It seems that she still has to bear the responsibility and the adverse consequences that come with it.
Ding Zizi took Dong'er and rushed to the old lady.
Today's weather is quite good. The sun is shining, but the cold wind is still the same, so no matter how good the sun is, people can't feel the slightest warmth.
Ding Baozi wrapped his cloak tightly and walked slowly in the cold north wind.
It's not that she is not afraid of the cold, but that she wants to spend more time adjusting her mood. The old lady is no better than Aunt Shen. The old lady has an absolute right to speak in this family, which is not something she can offend.
No matter how long the road is, there will be a day when it comes to an end.
Seeing that the old lady's yard arrived, Ding Page sighed secretly and hurriedly accelerated his pace and walked over.
As soon as he entered the room, a heat wave hit his face, which made Ding Page shiver.
Wan Niang saw it and asked with concern, "Page, is it cold outside? Why don't you wear more when you come out? You are in your body now, and you can't stand the cold.
Ding Xiaozi smiled and said, "It's almost the end of the year. It's really cold outside. After a short walk, I can't stand the cold."
The old lady still looked kind. She pointed to the chair covered with thick brocade cushions and said in a gentle voice, "Page, don't stand. It's not good to be tired. Sit down quickly. It's important to warm up."
Ding Page respectfully saluted the old lady and said, "Thank you for your concern."
After saying that, he just sat down in the chair beside him and stretched out his hand to the brazier in front of him, warming the cold hands.
The room was a little quiet for a moment, and no one spoke. There was only a slight crackling of the charcoal fire in the brazier. The old lady lay quietly on the couch. Wan Niang knocked on the old lady's legs without a while. Ding Page did not say anything, so she warmed her hands in the brazier.
When she was young, the old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, seemed to be a little drowsy, and whispered, "Page, has Ling Er told you about the rice shop?"
Ding Page subconsciously sat up straight and was ready to be scolded. He said seriously, "What the old lady said, my husband told me about it when he came back last night."
The old lady suddenly sneered and said, "Then did he tell you how to deal with that?"
Ding Page was a little worried, so he had to tell the truth what Hao Ling said to her last night, "My father-in-law said that he wanted to compensate those customers who bought rice, removed Chen Yuan's steward position, and would not use him in the future. As for the loss of Daliang Rice Shop, the father-in-law said that he would try his best to make up for it.
Ding's page did not mention that Hao Ling said that she wanted to fully bear the loss. After all, that matter was only what Hao Ling meant. In the end, it would depend on Master Hao's decision. If she said that now, she would not be able to take it back.
The old lady nodded slightly and seemed to agree with what Ding Paozi said just now. However, soon she looked at Ding Pao with a serious face and asked in a low voice, "The customer's loss is good to make up for, but how can the reputation of Daliang Rice Shop be recovered?" Haofu has been operating a rice shop for decades and has always been believed and valued by the villagers' parents. Now that such a scandal has happened, how can the villagers believe in Daliang rice shop in the future?
The old lady's voice was fierce, and her anger was unconcealed.
Ding Pagezi was very wronged. She didn't promote this matter. What kind of bad luck did she have?
I'm afraid that the old lady will be angry. She hurriedly said, "Old lady, calm down. This is my cousin's fault. I have asked my husband to tell my father. This matter will be done according to the rules. You can be punished as you want. You can't show any mercy."
"Ouch... That's a nice thing to say. Can't you show the slightest mercy? Will the family see each other again in the future? Do you want to continue to live in Hao's house in the future? If the master really sends Chen Yuan to prison, you really don't have any resentment in your heart? Aunt Shen suddenly picked up the curtain and asked sarcastically one by one.
The old lady's slightly softened expression suddenly became serious again, and her eyes looked at Ding Page with a heavy light. She would never allow the existence of ulious people in the house!
Ding Yizi bit his silver teeth, glanced at Aunt Shen angrily, and looked at the old lady with a serious look. He said in a low voice, "Old lady, since the page has married into Hao's house, he is a person from Hao's house. He will live with his husband all his life in the rest of his life. How can he be resentful? "
