Chapter 118 Grandma Sun is gone
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly held Liu's hand and looked at her with concern and said:
"Liu, don't be anxious. Tell me first what you want to talk to me about."
Liu choked up a bit:
"My mother-in-law...she died, wuwu, I don't have money to bury her, so I came to find you wuwu...I really don't know anyone else, I usually stay at home doing embroidery, so I only have a good relationship with you..."
Jiang Yuwei was also shocked when she heard this:
"Grandma Sun, is she gone? Don't worry, I'll give you whatever silver you need!"
Jiang Yuwei said this and was about to get her purse.
Seeing this, Liu was about to kneel down to Jiang Yuwei, but fortunately Jiang Yuwei was quick to support her:
"Liu, what are you doing? You have helped me so many times before. We are neighbors and fellow villagers. I will definitely help you in any way I can."
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Liu burst into tears again:
"Yuwei, I really don't know how to thank you. I want to borrow a tael of silver from you to help with my mother-in-law's funeral, but I can't pay it back right away. But don't worry, I will work hard to pay it back by doing embroidery."
Without saying a word, Jiang Yuwei took out two taels of silver from her purse and handed it to Liu:
"You don't have to pay it back. My paper mill needs workers now. I'll give you two taels of silver a year. After you finish handling Grandma Sun's funeral, come to my house to work. I see you've been bending over to do embroidery all day, and your health is not good."
After hearing this, Liu nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, I will definitely work hard, thank you Yuwei."
Jiang Yuwei took Liu into the courtyard and drafted a work document for her to sign and seal, and then allowed Liu to handle Grandma Sun's funeral as soon as possible.
After Liu left, Jiang Yuwei sighed helplessly:
"Grandma Sun was a good person. What a pity. Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years."
After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she glanced at Ning Huaizhi and said in a deep voice:
"I'll go to Grandma Sun's house later to see if there's anything I can help with. You can stay home and cook for them."
Ning Huaizhi nodded:
"Well, it's not easy for Liu to be alone, so we should go and help."
After Jiang Yuwei and Ning Daya moved the things out of the car, she went to the paper mill and assigned the reserved order quantities to Tiezhu and Ning Wu. She also told Daya not to worry about other things in the next few days and just focus on helping in the paper mill. After Liu finishes her work at home in a few days, she will be able to come to the paper mill to work every day. Jiang Yuwei thought that if the paper mill became bigger in the future, she would need to find a few more suitable people to do the job.
Just as she was about to go out to Liu's house, she saw Zhang Tianhe and Zhang Guang coming with a cart full of mulberry bark.
"Tianhe, Zhang Guang, are you here to sell mulberry bark? Just take it to the backyard and let Ning Wu weigh it for you."
Zhang Tianhe waved his hands and said:
"No, no, I'm not selling it. I'm giving it to you. Thank you so much for saving my Xiaoman that day. We don't have anything valuable to thank you for. Xiaoyun said you needed mulberry bark, so Zhang Guang and I went to the mountains to peel it for a whole day. I saw you were at home today, so I brought it to you."
Zhang Guang also stepped forward and handed the basket in his hand to Jiang Yuwei:
"Sister Yuwei, these are the chicken and duck eggs that my mother asked me to bring you. Take them."
Zhang Tianhe seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly took down a backpack from the cart:
"And this is the wood ash my mother saved. You can keep it too, Sister Yuwei. I really let you down that day."
Seeing them like this, Jiang Yuwei waved her hands and said:
"I don't take it personally. You don't have to be like this. I received your kindness, but you still have to give me the silver. Let's go to the backyard and weigh it first."
Zhang Tianhe waved his hands when he saw this:
"No, we can't weigh it, Sister Yuwei. If I accept your money, my mother will beat me to death."
After saying that, Zhang Tianhe ignored Jiang Yuwei's obstruction and pushed the cart directly to the backyard where the mulberry bark was piled and dumped it all out. He also poured the wood ash in the backpack next to it. Then he shouted Zhang Guang and hurriedly ran out.
Ning Huaizhi shook his head helplessly when he saw this:
"Since they sent it to you, you should accept it. Farmers won't lie. Tianhe is a simple and honest man. If you don't accept it, he will definitely feel upset."
Jiang Yuwei looked at the two people leaving and smiled:
"I've also seen that Zhang Tianhe is a simple-minded person. When I have time, I'll go to Aunt Zhang's house and ask if Tianhe wants to work in our paper mill."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei thought about going to Liu's house as soon as possible to help, so she gave Ning Huaizhi a few instructions and rushed to Liu's house.
Jiang Yuwei hurried to Liu's house and saw a circle of people surrounding the yard.
"How dare you, Liu, embezzle your mother-in-law's dowry!"
"Spit it out! Spit it out!"
Jiang Yuwei quickly pushed through the crowd and came forward, only to see an old woman pulling Liu's arm and yelling.
Liu was usually a taciturn person who could not utter a word for a long time. She had never seen such a scene before, so she could only stand there with an embarrassed look on her face, being dragged by the arm by the old woman.
"I say, Auntie Liu, you should at least let them finish the funeral first before you worry about other things. Grandma Sun is still lying at home."
"That's right. He even said he was from the mother's family. I think he was just taking advantage of the Liu family because they thought they were easy to bully."
Jiang Yuwei listened to everyone's discussion and finally figured out the whole story. It turned out that this Sixth Auntie was Grandma Sun's sister. When she heard that Grandma Sun had passed away, she hurried to the Sun family early this morning to ask for Grandma Sun's dowry back, saying that the Sun family must not get it for free. That's why the scene that Jiang Yuwei saw when she came in just now happened.
Jiang Yuwei naturally knew the situation of the Sun family, otherwise Liu would not have come to her to borrow money. Seeing that Liu had been being pulled by the old woman Liu, who was even trying to search Liu's body, Jiang Yuwei could no longer bear it, and stepped forward and grabbed the old woman Liu's hand and looked at her coldly:
"Are you really Grandma Sun's biological sister? Who can prove it?"
When Granny Six saw a young man coming, she immediately let go of Liu's hand, glared at Jiang Yuwei and said coldly:
"Humph, who are you to meddle in other people's family affairs?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled faintly:
"Don't worry about who I am. First, tell me how you can prove that you are Grandma Sun's sister?"
After hearing this, Auntie Liu put her hands on her hips and cursed:
"Who do you think you are? How dare you question me? My sister and I are sisters who were born from the same womb. Everyone knows that!"
Jiang Yuwei raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu:
"Liu, do you know that she is your mother-in-law's sister? Have you ever seen her visit your mother-in-law on weekdays?"
Liu met Jiang Yuwei's eyes and immediately understood what she meant. She shook her head and said:
"I don't know. I've never seen her visit my mother-in-law."
