Chapter 246 Don't You Trust Me?
Wu Xiyuan opened the wooden box on the table as she said. It was full of silver. He was almost dazzled.
He hadn't seen so much silver for a long time. Last time, what Prince Mu gave was only silver notes.
"Is this... their gift to you?" Wu Xiyuan asked.
Su Jiuyue nodded slightly, "This isthe gift from the Mr. Wang and his son, about 240 taels of silver. Mrs. Yue gave me a house and said that she would take me to move there when she cleaned it up."
Wu Xiyuan: "..."
No wonder his mother and wife are so uneasy. There were just too many good thing happening.
However, he has the memory of his previous life, and he knew that Mrs. Yue and Wang Guangxian were honest people and should not have wicked thoughts.
Even Wang Qiying was a chivalrous person, and not a real bad person.
At this time, he had calmed down a little, and he knew that if Wang Qiying really had any bad ideas, he might not be able to get past his father.
Although the Wang family doted on their children, there was a bottom line.
"But we are poor, is it not appropriate to accept their kindness like this?" Su Jiuyue casually reached out and took out a silver spindle to play with.
She really had no idea what to do in her heart. Her family had been poor since she was a child, and normally it was difficult for them to even eat a full meal. But now suddenly someone was so kind to her and didn't need her to do anything.
In her heart, there was still the idea of no merit and no reward, which naturally made her a little uneasy.
Wu Xiyuan understood her thought. He reached out and touched the top of her hair, and softly comforted her, "Let's help Mrs. Yue run her shop well so that she can worry less and make more money. As for Governor Wang, I will repay them later!"
"But..." Su Jiuyue frowned.
But Wu Xiyuan interrupted her. He looked into her eyes and asked, "What? Don't you trust me?"
Su Jiuyue saw his face stiffened and she immediately explained, "No! You can absolutely do it."
Wu Xiyuan pinched her finger. "Fate changes for everyone, there will be an opportunity for us to repay them in the future. Let's just keep in mind their kindness for the time being!"
Su Jiuyue didn't have a better solution, so she nodded and said yes.
They continued to talk for a while before Liu Cuihua came back from outside.
She came back holding a bowl of noodles in her hand.
"Come on, try it. How does it taste? I made it for you myself."
Wu Xiyuan had been studying outside these days and he missed the taste of home-made food very much. Having a mouthful of noodles made by his mother, he was extremely satisfied.
Liu Cuihua was very happy to see him eating happily.
"Eat slowly. In the future, I will stay here with Jiuyue, and I'll be close to you. You can come back for dinner every day!"
As soon as she said this, Su Jiuyue and Wu Xiyuan were stunned at the same time and both looked at her.
Su Jiuyue said, "Mom, what about my two brothers' wives at home? There will be no one to take care of them."
Liu Cuihua sighed, "I know, but their pregnancy is still at early stage. I will go back until I help you settle down here. Otherwise, I can't rest assured if you're here alone."
Wu Xiyuan knew that his mother was worried about Jiuyue, but if she didn't return home for long, the two sisters at home would be angry with them, which would not be worth it.
"Mom, I will be here. Can't you rest assured?"
Liu Cuihua glared at him, "You just focus on studying! Don't get distracted! You can't think that you really are so great just because your teacher praised you! You have to know that there are always people better than you!"
Wu Xiyuan was silenced by his mother. Su Jiuyue continued to say, "It's estimated that we can move in in the house in two or three days. At that time, there will be Xiyuan and Mrs. Yue taking care of us. I shall be fine here, and you can go back then."
Worried that her words might hurt her mother-in-law's feelings and made her feel that she was driving her away, Su Jiuyue hurriedly added, "Of course I don't want you to go and I want to be with you so much. But my two sisters at home are both pregnant. They almost got hit by a stone last time, and I'm always a little worried. I think you should go back and take charges of things. There is nothing more important than my two nephews."
Liu Cuihua heard her mention nephews, and her face softened. "That's true. There are still Guo and Tao at home. I'm afraid they can't take care of everything. When you settle down here, I'll go back!"
Su Jiuyue and Wu Xiyuan looked at each other and smiled. They were finally relieved.
Early next morning, Mrs. Yue asked Fei Cui to take Jiuyue to see the house. She and her mother-in-law cleaned the house together with the maid and nanny brought by Fei Cui.
Fei Cui tried to stop it. How could the owner of the house do these dirty work herself?
But she was stopped by Su Jiuyue. "Dear Fei Cui, you know I come from the countryside, and I'm no lady. If I let you do all the work and I just watch, I would be so ashamed. You just let me do it. I'm already grateful for your help."
Liu Cuihua also said, "I see that your hands are softer than my mine. I can't bear to let you do these jobs. You are all beautiful girls like fresh flowers. You'd better go and wipe the table or something. I'll do the sweeping."
After seeing the Jiuyue ans her mother-in-law get connect to the nobles but still kept a low profile as usual, Fei Cui couldn't help parising in her heart. Mrs. Yue really had a good judgement for people!
They were so busy in the house. They cleaned up the kitchen first. In Liu Cuihua's words, at least they could boil a pot of water when they were thirsty.
Everyone was capable and they had cleaned up most of house when the day was finished.
Knowing that they were cleaning the house this day, Wu Xiyuan thought about going to see if they needed to help.
But just after school, a servant boy standing outside approached him.
"Mr. Wu, there was someone outside who claimed to be your mother-in-law and wanted to see you."
His mother in law? Was it the one from Su family, or the new mother-in-law who adopted his dear wife yesterday?
No matter which one, he had to not meet her.
So he immediately asked, "Where is she?"
"Waiting in the gate house!"
Wu Xiyuan hurried towards the gate house with the servant boy, and saw the strange yet familiar woman at a glance.
It was su Jiuyue's biological mother and his real mother-in-law, but it was a pity that hadn't dealt with her much in both his lives.
In his previous life, Su Jiuyue died early. Knowing that the cause of her death was the disease she got at home when she was young, he hated the Su family. In this life, his father-in-law divorced his mother-in-law, and they never met again.
So, why was she here to see him now?
