Chapter 68: Humanity Is Cold and Indifferent
"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. When my Qin family was ranked third, the Ding family would send gifts every year, and every word was about the friendship of fellow townsmen. How much help did Ding Shouxin borrow from our Qin family from a ninth-rank official to the fourth-rank prefect? Now that the Qin family has fallen, they are trying to avoid us. Haha, the so-called fellow townsmen are just like this, cough cough..."
Old Lady Qin was so angry that she coughed violently. She took the handkerchief from Aunt Ding and covered it with it. There was a touch of red on the handkerchief.
"Mother!"
Wang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She poured warm water with shaking hands and instructed Aunt Ding, who was also pale, to get medicine.
"Mother, don't worry." Wang put the water on the small table, put her hand on her back, and advised: "Mother, it is common for people to get cold when they leave. You are hurting yourself because of this, and you are just fulfilling the face of those villains."
Madame Ding also took the medicine and served her to take it, and also advised: "Old lady, you must take care of yourself, you still have to see the old master and the master come back."
Old lady Qin took the medicine and drank the water, panting, leaning on the pillow weakly, showing a bitter smile, and said: "Although I guessed it would be like this, I still held a glimmer of hope. Unexpectedly, they didn't even want to see me."
At this moment, she really felt what sadness was.
Wang sighed in her heart. People have the instinct to seek good and avoid evil. It's no wonder that those people avoid their Qin family like a flood and a beast. They are just afraid that their future will be implicated.
Let's take a look at the eldest sister-in-law Qin Mei Niang, who is also a relative by marriage, but the Song family divorced her without saying a word, and even drove out their two daughters. How cold and indifferent.
Even relatives by marriage are like this, not to mention the so-called fellow townsmen and peers.
Old Lady Qin took a breath and said, "The Ding family can't be counted on, but there is more than one Ding family in Licheng, there are..."
"Mother!" Wang interrupted her.
Old Lady Qin looked over, not understanding why the eldest daughter-in-law interrupted her?
"Mother, we have only just returned to Licheng not long ago. You know, our Qin family is still in the spotlight. Even if someone wants to help, not many people dare to sacrifice their future. I remember that Zhao Ping, the Tongzhi of Licheng, is the cousin of the third grandmother of the Meng family." Wang said in a calm voice: "Our Qin family is equivalent to operating under the eyes of the Meng family. If we go back and forth, the movement will be too big. It will be reported to the Meng family. I am afraid that there will be trouble again."
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips. From the words of the eldest daughter-in-law, she knew that the current situation of the Qin family was more difficult than she had imagined.
"So mother, if we want to visit rashly now, I am afraid that someone will be concerned about the Zhao and Meng families. Even if they want to help, they dare not. After all, everyone has selfishness, and no one can give up their future for the sake of friendship." If it were Mrs. Qin, I am afraid she would not do it either.
Wang continued, "Mother, we might as well settle down first and then look for other things."
"But we can wait, I'm afraid Bohong and the others can't wait, the weather here is cold, not to mention the northwest region?" Mrs. Qin felt very sad when she thought of her children, grandchildren and old men.
Wang thought about it and said, "Mother, we have more than just these people to help us, there is also Xier. And Xier and Taoist Chiyuan are master and apprentice. Taoist Chiyuan also gave us some advice in the past. He knows everything about our family. If he can help to go to the northwest without any worries, it is only him."
