New widow

Chapter 247

"Then what did you say to the pig-killer?" Suqiao's tone was still calm, but Mrs. Du kept her mouth shut and did not speak.

"Words can naturally kill people." Suqiao couldn't wait for Mrs. Du's answer, so she just said this with a smile. Mrs. Du opened her lips wide and wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't.

"That's all, you go back first." Su Qiao waved her hand. Mrs. Du was shocked. When she heard this, she asked Su Qiao in a low voice: "Can I go back?"

"If you don't go back, do you still want me to take care of your dinner?" Suqiao asked back. Mrs. Du got up, thought about it, knelt down and kowtowed to Suqiao, and then said to Suqiao: "Ms. Kuang, Although I always want to take advantage, how can I dare to kill someone?"

"I know, you can go back." Su Qiao signaled Mrs. Du to leave. Mrs. Du walked out cautiously. Aunt Wu waited for her to leave before closing the door: "Madam, what is going on with this matter..."

"Many times, seemingly unintentional words can harm people." Su Qiao only said this. Grandma Wu didn't know what she thought of and sighed: "It's just that not many people understand this."

"So we should be more careful in our words and deeds." Suqiao's words made Wu Wu smile: "There are not many people who think like this lady." More people think about glory and wealth, and even do it for the sake of glory and wealth. Do a lot of horrible things.

Mother Wu couldn't help but think of Master Eleven. If Master Eleven hadn't been thinking about the title of Duke of England, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"It's the middle of June now, and July is coming soon." Once July passes, it's August. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Master Eleven

He was about to be beheaded. Su Qiao also thought of this matter and just smiled at Grandma Wu: "Don't worry about those things for now. Let's deal with the matters in front of us first."

Aunt Wu responded softly and pursed Su Qiao's lips slightly. This Mrs. Du was really so spoiled by Wang Shangshu that she didn't know how generous the world was.

When Mrs. Du returned to her home, she closed the door tightly and felt that her heart was not beating so fast. Her son had already walked out of the house. Seeing Mrs. Du, she asked displeasedly: "Didn't you say you were going to pay for the food today?" Where’s the silver?”

"I just gave you one tael of silver yesterday, why do you want it again today?" Mrs. Du asked dissatisfied, and her son shouted: "What is one tael of silver enough for?"

"You can even buy dozens of kilograms of rice. Why do you think it's enough for you?" Mrs. Du grabbed her son and said, "Are you going to find that little widow again? I'm telling you, you can collect it for me." Take it easy, I will go find a matchmaker and find you a wife in a little while. That little widow is not allowed to enter my house."

"Mom, what are you talking about, you little widow?" Her son said with a smile at this moment: "Brother Chen has sprained his ankle today. I went to check on him, bought him some food, and gave him some food. Five denarii, all the money was spent."

Brother Chen is the butcher that Mrs. Du was talking to yesterday. Mrs. Du thought of Su Qiao's words and her heart jumped suddenly, but she still said to her son: "Giving you so much money? You think my money fell from the sky?" Came down?"

"Mom, Brother Chen also told me that when his feet heal, he will go to the matchmaker and tell him that he wants to ask the young widow named Song to be his wife."

She looked at her son and smiled again: "Mom, Brother Chen is different from me. He doesn't have a mother. He can please whoever he wants. There is no need to ask others."

"You are talking nonsense again." Mrs. Du pinched her son a few times in anger, and the son begged for mercy, but took the opportunity to take out the purse from Mrs. Du's sleeve, opened the purse and looked at it and frowned: "Why is it so little, mother, this It’s really not worth much.”

"Give me..." Mrs. Du wanted to grab the purse, but her son had already taken out the money and threw the empty purse into Mrs. Du's arms. Then her son walked out: "Mom, I want to see Brother Chen. I won’t be back tonight.”

Mrs. Du wanted to scold her son, but when she saw her son opening the door and walking away, Mrs. Du felt her teeth itching with hatred. Little widows, little widows, so many little widows, how could they not live up to the rules or get married in a serious manner? Just hanging out in front of others, these men who have lost their wives are like cats that see a fish and almost pounce on it.

Mrs. Du closed the door. Thinking of what Su Qiao said, Mrs. Du felt her heart start to beat wildly again. No, no, that Butcher Chen only killed pigs and did not dare to kill people.

Thinking of Mrs. Du, she came to the Buddhist niche at home and burned another stick of incense for Guanyin. She must keep her home safe and sound. The next day, Mrs. Du went to the Yamen to collect her husband's body. Naturally, she cried bitterly again. The Yamen servant was already there and said to Mrs. Du: "The fourth government has already given instructions not to make it difficult for you. After you receive it, you can go and attend to the funeral." "

Naturally, Mrs. Du cried and cried loudly. The people she invited to help also helped her put the body into the coffin. Because it was a violent death, according to the

Due to customs, she could not be carried home for the funeral. Instead, she built a shed at the entrance of the village, where Mrs. Du mourned, and people she met also came to express their condolences.

Su Qiao also asked Nanny Wu to go to express her condolences. When she arrived, several women were surrounding Du to persuade her. The elder of Du's two children was only eight years old, and the younger one was still in her arms. I just cried with my mother there, the little one was held in someone's arms, sleeping soundly, not knowing anything.

Seeing Aunt Wu coming to express condolences, Mrs. Du stepped forward and knelt down to Aunt Wu: "How dare I trouble you to come here."

"Our ladies have said that we have been friends." Mother Wu lifted up Mrs. Du with both hands, went to the funeral and burned incense. She also gave five coins of silver and said a few words to the women. Mother Wu frowned. : "Why don't you see Mrs. Du?"

"My aunt is still busy growing vegetables at home, so naturally she didn't come to help." As she said this, Du Shi burst into tears again: "That's all. What will we do with our livelihood in the future?"

"Yesterday, our lady said that there was a reward of 20 taels of silver. You all heard it." Aunt Wu's words made Du Shi look up blankly: "Yes, I heard it, but this is for the person who provides clues."

"Think carefully about what you have heard and seen in the past two days." Aunt Wu's words made a woman suddenly scream: "I also heard about these 20 taels of silver, and I also thought about it. I got this reward, but I haven’t gone out in the past few days, but that day I heard Butcher Chen and your man walking together."

"You didn't go out, so how did you know the two of them were walking together?" Someone had already patted her, and the woman smiled: "My child was naughty that day and rolled all over the place outside.

Ni, I opened the door and asked him to go wash in the ditch and come back. When I opened the door, I saw the two of them walking together. "
