Chapter 80 Xu's Mother Surrenders
Xu's mother looked coldly at Xu's father who was standing by her bed, and shouted at him angrily: "You heartless thing, you're marrying a second wife before your daughter's body is cold!"
Father Xu sighed helplessly and explained: "Chunhua is just missing, not dead. What you said is too harsh. Why don't you think of Chunhua at all? I married her just to bring happiness to Chunhua.
My family is not rich anymore, I have to make some money, I have already bought a shop, if you don't want to run it, I will let Wen Ting run it?"
Father Xu felt that Xu Chunhua must be dead, and this was just an excuse he made up in order to marry a wife. As long as the body was not found, the person might still be alive, and he was right.
When Xu's mother heard what her husband said, she became even angrier: "What do you mean by bringing good luck to our daughter? I think it's unlucky." Then she pointed at her husband with a trembling finger: "You are so good. When you married me, you said you would take care of me for the rest of my life, but now it has become like this!"
Father Xu was speechless after hearing what Mother Xu said. He shook his sleeves and said coldly to Mother Xu: "I was originally trying to talk to you nicely, but you are being unreasonable. Since you don't want to run the shop, I will give it to Wen Ting and her daughter, and the three of us will run the shop together."
Xu's mother sat up in rage, pointed her index finger at him and roared: "You, you beast, that shop was earned by Chunhua selling her body, and you took Chunhua's one hundred taels of gold to buy it! You actually want to give it to an outsider, you are not worthy of being a man, you..." At the end, Xu's mother's tears flowed again.
At this time, Xu's mother did not know that Xu's father later accepted another 1,200 taels of silver from Wei Yunsheng.
"That's Chunhua's money. I won't allow you to leave it to anyone else. That shop can only belong to Chunhua. I will definitely take good care of it for Chunhua."
Xu's mother absolutely could not tolerate Xu's shop being given to those two bitches, Li Wenting and her daughter.
Father Xu didn't want to give it either. He said that just to encourage Mother Xu to agree.
Now that things were done, Father Xu turned around and prepared to leave.
Xu's mother suddenly hugged him from behind and cried, "Where are you going? Chunhua is dead, and you are all I have."
Mother Xu resented Father Xu in her heart, but she had no way out now. The only person she could rely on was this man.
"open."
Father Xu's tone was calm, but full of authority.
Xu's mother still held his waist tightly, refusing to let go no matter what: "No! You are my husband, you can't abandon me. I am all alone now, and you are the only one left."
Father Xu frowned and pushed Mother Xu away with force, saying with a bit of impatience: "Okay, I won't abandon you, but you must also promise to treat Wen Ting and her daughter well in the future and not bully them again, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
"it is good."
Xu's mother finally stopped crying.
Father Xu turned around and looked at her deeply, then turned around and strode away.
After Xu's father left, Xu's mother lay back on the sickbed and clenched her fists tightly.
Li Wenting and her daughter are two bitches. I will never let you succeed!
She had to suppress the anger in her heart.
Run the shop well with Xu's father.
If Xu Chunhua married Lu Yuan, how far would it be?
Mother Xu thought of Lu Yuan again.
When it came time to actually get things done, Xu's mother felt that Lu Yuan was more reliable.
Xuan Jiuqing is even colder than Xu's father in nature. Although he has a noble status, he is not a good match.
If I had known this earlier, I would have found an ordinary refugee to marry into my family.
She has Xu Qiuyue's three thousand taels of betrothal gift, so is she still afraid of living a bad life?
Father Xu certainly wouldn't dare to treat her like this.
A son-in-law who marries into the wife's family is also a man.
She would use the money to buy a shop in town, and her family would live well.
Xu's mother's health has not yet fully recovered.
But she didn't want Li Wenting to take over the Xu family's property, so she could only endure the pain and work. Xu's mother liked Wang Po very much, but when she thought about how Wang Po helped Xu's father to deceive her, she also hated Wang Po.
So when Xu's father planned to open a teahouse, he wanted to ask Wang Po to wash cups and clean the house, but was rejected by Xu's mother, who planned to find one herself.
Father Xu spent a lot of time decorating the teahouse. He carefully considered every detail and wanted to create a place that looked elegant.
On the day the teahouse opened, Xu's mother got up early and started working.
She was busy shuttling back and forth in the teahouse, smiling and greeting every customer who came in. She was dressed in a brocade dress, with her hair neatly combed, and she looked very different from before, not like a peasant woman, but like the wife of a shopkeeper.
Xu's mother was once very beautiful and she knew how to dress up.
But before that, she had forgotten her name and what she looked like.
At first she was Xu's father's wife, and later she became Chunhua's mother.
If it weren't for Li Wenting, Xu's mother wouldn't have dressed herself like this.
She used to want to save more money for Xu Chunhua.
Now, if she doesn't spend some money on dressing up, I'm afraid that all the money she saved will be given to that bitch Li Wenting by Xu's father.
The son adopted by Xu's father was also an ungrateful person.
Now he is quite close to Li Wenting.
When I saw her, I burst into tears.
Xu's mother is too lazy to care about her now. She has already raised Xu Qiuyue as an ungrateful person.
She didn't want to keep another ungrateful person around.
Now, Xu's mother just wants to manage this teahouse well.
I heard from Xu's father that Li Wenting used the money she had saved to buy a shop, and I heard that she was planning to open a bookstore.
Xu's mother couldn't understand why Li Wenting, since she had her own money, would compete with her for old man Xu's father.
But now, Xu's mother must compete with Li Wenting.
Li Wenting did not hire anyone in her shop and brought her daughter to help in the store.
She also hired an old woman to help in the teahouse, and she was determined to do a better job than Li Wenting.
In the kitchen, an old woman was busy. She skillfully washed cups and plates, picked vegetables, and cooked, completing every task meticulously.
This teahouse sells food and wine, so it is even more important to eat, and the kitchen is very busy.
Her movements were skillful and steady, her hair was silver, her face was lined, but she did her job well.
The key is that the monthly salary is cheap. She only needs thirty dollars a month, which includes food.
This is so cheap.
Xu's mother knew that the old woman was old and her son and daughter-in-law were not very filial.
It is really not easy to find a job, so she will work very hard.
The teahouse is filled with the faint fragrance of tea and fireworks, which smells very comfortable.
Guests came in one after another, looking at the newly opened teahouse with curiosity and expectation. Mother Xu and Father Xu entertained the guests with smiles on their faces, and Father Xu kept shouting. Many of his friends came today.
On this day, there was constant laughter and joy in the teahouse, and Xu's mother's hands never stopped.
