Chapter 372 - 372 Change in Old man Wang's Family (2)
372 Change in Old man Wang’s Family (2)
Old man Wang originally did not want to let her go. He did not know Madam Qin’s background and was afraid that she would make Little Ah Yu suffer.
Zhang Zhan said at the side, “Madam Qin has a good reputation in Wanning City. She’s a kind person. Don’t worry.”
Madam Qin: “County Magistrate Zhang will be with us too. If you’re worried, you can go with us.”
Zhang Zhan: “…” I really don’t want to follow.
At this moment, Wang Chuanman also brought Little Ah Yu to the door.
“Why did you close the door?” Wang Chuanman muttered outside the door.
Dalang opened the door and welcomed the two of them in.
Wang Chuanman was stunned to suddenly see a noble Madam.
After learning that the other party was Qin Huai’s mother, Wang Chuanman’s eyes were especially complicated.
Just now, he had heard his daughter say that she wanted to be Qin Huai’s wife.
Now, he had met the other party’s mother.
Was she here to snatch his daughter away?
Looking at the box of gold, Wang Chuanman blurted out, “Madam, please go back. Our Wang Family won’t sell our daughters for glory!”
Old man Wang: “…”
The child’s mother was right. Wang Chuanman was a fool.
Wang Chuanman’s attitude made Madam Qin think highly of him.
Not to mention this ordinary family, even in Wanning City, it was rare to see someone who was not tempted by a thousand taels of gold.
Real gold was more valuable than a bank note for a thousand taels of gold.
On the other hand, when Little Ah Yu saw the gold, she looked at it curiously.
So this was gold.
“Is Grandma’s bracelet made of this?” Little Ah Yu asked.
Wang Dalang replied softly, “Yes, it’s made of melted gold.”
“With so many, how many bracelets can we make?” Little Ah Yu counted with her fingers. “We can make golden bracelets for everyone in our family. We can also make golden hairpins, golden necklaces, and golden earrings. Everyone can have jewelry made of gold!”
Old man Wang glanced at Little Ah Yu. “Ah Yu, don’t be rude.”
They had yet to decide if they should accept this gold, but Ah Yu had arranged the usage of it.
It was inevitable that Madam Qin would think too much.
However, Little Ah Yu said, “Isn’t this for us? We sold our tablet to exchange for it!”
Actually, Little Ah Yu originally did not know that this was exchanged with the tablet.
It was what Meatball had told her before she came in.
After all, when Old Madam Wang bargained with Chi Tu back then, she could avoid the others, but she could not avoid Meatball.
“What tablet?” Old man Wang’s intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
What kind of tablet could be exchanged for so much gold?
Would it cause any trouble for Ah Yu?
“It’s not anything valuable. It’s just that our ancestors have lost it for a long time. It’s very precious to us.” Madam Qin smiled and explained briefly before saying to Ah Yu, “Ah Yu, are you willing to come with me to play for half a day? I’ll tell you the story of Huai’er’s past.”
Little Ah Yu: “I’m willing!”
She remembered many things about her past. Now, she really wanted to hear about Big Brother Ah You’s past.
However, Little Ah Yu did not go directly.
Instead, after sending Madam Qin off, she accompanied everyone at Old man Wang’s house first. After lunch, under Old Madam Wang’s instructions, she went to Qin Huai’s courtyard.
When Old Madam Wang woke up, Madam Qin had already left. The two of them did not meet each other.
However, when Old Madam Wang found out that Madam Qin was here to deliver the gold, she immediately chuckled and said, “She actually came to deliver it personally. I think she’s a kind person. Alright, don’t think too much about it. In any case, this money came from a proper source. However, don’t think about it. The thing was picked up by Ah Yu, so the gold is naturally Ah Yu’s. This is not the full amount. There’s also an additional 2,000 taels. It was also earned by Ah Yu.”
Everyone from the Wang Family: ???
“Why are you looking at me? Do you think it’s unfair? If you have the ability, go and earn it too. Not to mention 1,000 taels of gold and silver, if you can earn 100 taels of silver in one go, I’ll call you father instead.”
The Wang Family: “…”
The four sons: “…”
There was no need for that.
When the four sons of the Wang Family heard Old Madam Wang mention the large box of gold and 2,000 taels of gold, it was as if she was talking about one tael of silver.
They all felt that they had only officially gotten to know their mother today.
After lunch, the villagers left one after another. The Wang Family’s in-laws all had smiles on their faces.
They had as much admiration for Old man Wang’s family now as the pity they felt for them in the past.
Back then, they still clearly despised the Wang Family. However, for the sake of the daughter they’d married over to them, they gritted their teeth and went to help them.
Otherwise, their daughter would have suffered too much.
Especially Old Liu’s family. Old Liu originally did not want to participate, mainly because he did not want to accept Old Madam Wang’s mockery.
Later on, his heart ached for his daughter, and he still came.
After all, after his daughter married over, they had only started interacting in the past year or two. Compared to the other in-laws, they were not considered close.
Who would have thought that the Wang Family would turn the tables so quickly?
From the poorest village in the entire Nanhe Town, the poorest family had become a family supported by the nearby squires, rich families, and ordinary villagers.
Didn’t they see that even the county magistrate had come over to congratulate them?
This was really a dramatic change.
More than a year ago, who would have thought that the Wang Family would have such fortune?
Not only had they become a local landowner, but their children at home had only been studying for more than a year, and the oldest student had actually become a scholar!
With a scholar in the family, it meant that their family would be exempted from taxes on 30 mu of land.
No one in the entire household register needs to participate in the conscription anymore!
The oldest student, Wang Chuangui: “…”
Actually, 30 years old was not very old… right?
There were also people who wanted to ask about the rich-looking Madam, so the people from Hu Family Village dealt with them. “Which family doesn’t have rich relatives? Today is a joyous occasion for the Wang Family. It’s possible that there are relatives coming from everywhere. Don’t ask about other people’s matters!”
Third Aunt Hu said loudly, “Why are you asking so much? If you hear too much about other people’s relatives, will they become yours? Be careful not to make the Wang Family unhappy. At that time, they won’t let your village grow sugarcane. Let’s see what you can do!”
“Why aren’t we allowed to plant it?” The people from the other villages were a little unconvinced. “We don’t have any enmity with the Wang Family.”
“If you ask about others now, it means that you have a grudge. As long as you dare to ask, I’ll turn around and tell Donkey Zhang. At that time, we’ll see who’s going to cry for their parents.”
“…”
As expected of someone who had quarreled with Old Madam Wang for more than ten years.
Her words were really vicious.
They even pierced quite deeply..
