Chapter 123: Little widow

Sister Chunxiang's intelligence was wrong.

The person renting Chen Ergou's courtyard was three generations of grandmother and grandson, the mother-in-law with the daughter-in-law and the little grandson.

The adult men in the family all died, and the clansmen stared at the family's industry like wolves and tigers, and if soft ones didn't work, they came with hard ones.

Two widows, plus a three or four-year-old child who didn't know anything, faced the clansmen's coercion, without any ability to parry. The set of crying, making trouble, and hanging oneself didn't work at all.

Threatening with death?

The clansmen wished they would all die, just in time to eat the extinct family.

Helpless, they could only sell the industry to the big households in the clan, take the money, and enter the city to seek a living.

"Pitiful, those heaven-killing clansmen, don't give people a way to live. Bullying two widows is what kind of skill."

After Sister Chunxiang learned the origin of the matter, she was very sympathetic to the Pan Niangzi family.

Pan Niangzi is the little widow among the three grandmother and grandson, and it is said that she is extremely beautiful.

Sister Chunxiang is a warm-hearted person, and in just a few days, she became familiar with the Pan Niangzi family, and did not forget to remind Chen Guanlou, "Help if you can, everyone is a neighbor. However, you must not be moved by color, ruining Pan Niangzi's reputation."

Chen Guanlou shouted injustice.

He was thinking, what kind of reputation he had ruined among the neighbors, so that Sister Chunxiang's misunderstanding of him was so deep.

"No. Sister Chunxiang, how can you look at me like this? What kind of person I am, others don't know, don't you know? I have always been clearly priced, I don't even look at good family women."

Sister Chunxiang rolled her eyes at him, as disdainful as she could be.

"Others cherish good family women, and marry one home as soon as they have money. You are good, you only cherish the dirty and smelly ones outside."

"Sister Chunxiang, this is prejudice. Are you afraid that I will bring down Brother Qian."

"You dare!" Sister Chunxiang put her hands on her hips, a full mother tiger. "I'm too lazy to argue with you. Tomorrow the Marquis mansion is holding a banquet, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I have to go help. I have to pack up today. Move aside, don't delay the old lady's work."

How thick is Chen Guanlou's face!

He continued to argue, "It's not a year or a festival, what kind of wine is the Marquis mansion holding? The Marquis mansion has so many servants, and they are not enough to use."

"The Great Madam's birthday, the wealthy and noble imperial relatives in the capital city are all invited. You say, how many people will come to the door."

"Why did the Great Madam think of holding a birthday banquet this year? There was no movement in previous years."

"I am a servant, how do I know the master's affairs. You are surnamed Chen, you don't know."

Chen Guanlou pinched his nose, unable to refute.

Just chatting, someone came to call Sister Chunxiang, telling her to hurry to the Marquis mansion to gather, the manager lady wanted to arrange errands.

The implication was, don't think about going home tonight, it will definitely be very busy.

Sister Chunxiang changed into a clean outfit and left in a hurry. Before leaving, she didn't forget to remind, letting Chen Guanlou not provoke cats and dogs.

Chen Guanlou:...

His reputation is completely ruined.

Go home to cook and prepare to practice martial arts.

Just busy, the courtyard door was knocked. The knocking sound was cautious, and Chen Guanlou could even hear the tension from the knocking sound.

Who is this?

Neighbors living around knock on his door, always "pa pa pa," without any hesitation, for fear that he is doing bad things, knocking loudly to remind him, so that everyone is embarrassed.

Another piece of evidence, his reputation is ruined.

"Coming, don't knock."

Chen Guanlou put down the things he was busy with, wiped his hands, came to the courtyard door, and opened the courtyard door.

Standing outside the door was a timid little daughter-in-law, who only dared to look up at him half-way, then flew down, nervous to the point of subconsciously rubbing a corner of her clothes.

Just one glance, Chen Guanlou saw Pan Niangzi's appearance clearly, what a standard innocent and pure little white flower, weak as a rootless duckweed, a full-fledged little daughter-in-law who is angry.

Chen Guanlou saw a shadow on her, the appearance of Bai Lingshuang in the old TV series "Plum Blossom Brand" wearing mourning clothes.

That cold, innocent, and weak temperament, exactly the same. Just talking about appearance, the Pan Niangzi in front of him is even better.

Chen Guanlou recognized the person in front of him at first glance, the little widow Pan Niangzi.

"You are looking for me?"

Chen Guanlou didn't even realize it himself, his voice was softened by three points, for fear of scaring the little daughter-in-law in front of him.

She is so fragile!

"I, I... do you have vinegar at home? Can I borrow some!"

Pan Niangzi was like talking to a strange man for the first time, her voice was not only small and almost unheard, but even her ears were red.

Chen Guanlou smiled, wanting to make himself look kinder, "Borrowing vinegar, right?"

"I, I'd better go to another house." Pan Niangzi looked like she was frightened.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

Chen Guanlou didn't give her a chance to regret.

After a while, he brought a bowl of vinegar, "Is it enough?"

"Enough! Enough!" Pan Niangzi took the bowl cautiously, very grateful.

Chen Guanlou said to her, "Everyone is a neighbor, if you have anything in the future, just come to me."

"Thank you!" Pan Niangzi was like a frightened rabbit, leaving in a hurry.

Sister Chunxiang was busy at the Marquis mansion for two days and returned home. Then, Chen Guanlou knew a gossip news that dropped his chin.

The concubine-born niece of the Marquis mansion's second room's wife slept... was slept by the son of the Prince of Jin's mansion.

Chen Guanlou instantly transformed into a gossip melon-eating crowd, busy asking: "Really? What should I do now?"

"How do I know! I just know that the second wife was angry, almost tearing her mother's sister-in-law's face on the spot, it was too shameful. Knowing that she was not worry-free, she brought her to the Marquis mansion as a guest, and made this shameful thing. The Great Madam dropped her face on the spot, scolding the second wife's mother's niece for having no upbringing. The second wife lost both face and inside, and was sick with anger. Now there is no heart to clean up."

Chen Guanlou ate the melon with relish, "What else? Sister Chunxiang, how do you know so clearly? The Marquis mansion didn't issue a gag order? Even you know it so clearly, hasn't it spread everywhere outside."

Sister Chunxiang laughed, "When the incident happened, many people went to watch. By the time the gag order was issued, everyone who should know knew."

Chen Guanlou was sighing, Pan Niangzi appeared timidly, her eyes red and swollen, and there were tears in her eyes that hadn't fallen yet.

Sister Chunxiang saw this, very sympathetic, where could she care about gossip, and asked busily: "Did your mother-in-law scold you again? She is old and confused, don't take it to heart. Pulling the child up, your good days are still behind."

"I know, thank you Sister Chunxiang. I came to ask where to buy cloth, I plan to make a set of new clothes for my mother-in-law and child to go out."

Pan Niangzi was still very sharp when talking to Sister Chunxiang. When she found that Chen Guanlou had been staring at herself, her ears turned red again, and her voice became smaller and smaller, and the whole person was uncomfortable.

Sister Chunxiang glared at Chen Guanlou fiercely, that look clearly said: Look at the good things you did, scaring people.

Chen Guanlou:...

Can you be reasonable? He didn't even say a word, how could it be counted on his head. Pan Niangzi wanted to blush herself, what does it have to do with him. ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
