What Mama Zhuang and Xiao Xiao were thinking in their hearts, Jinzi did not know.
Jinzi only knew that he, an atheist, was now spouting nonsense and had made a fool of himself.
Perhaps Jinzi had her own plan in her subconscious mind, after all, this was ancient times, and for the theory of gods and Buddhas, women like Zhuang Mama and others were extremely devout. In the future, she would naturally not be able to live like the original Jin San Niang, and many of her living habits were also vastly different from those of Jin San Niang. Rather than having them suspect and be surprised in the future, it was better to make them believe that after Jin San Niang had gone through the Ghost Gate, she had become enlightened.
The mother saw her daughter smiling brightly under the sunlight and felt a surge of gratitude in her heart.
It's really pitiful to see the child, it must be the blessing of heaven that the mother was able to give birth safely and with a clear mind.
Mother Wang had watched Jin Sansao grow up since she was a child, and all she felt for Jin Sansao was tenderness and love. She would never suspect her own daughter-in-law of anything. She would rather believe that this was fate, the will of heaven, or the protection of the late Madame Liu's spirit in heaven...
Mother Li wiped away her tears and stood at the gate of the courtyard, calling out: "Niangzi..."
Jinzi turned her gaze towards the gate, and the dazzling sunlight made her slightly furrow her eyebrows. After seeing clearly the face of her mother and the food in her hands, she smiled and replied: "So early in the morning, Mom is tired!"
"The young lady is right, this is what I should do." The old mother smiled and nodded at Jinzi, then said to Xiao Xiao: "Help the young lady in, let's serve her breakfast!"
Just as he bent down to help Jinzi, he heard Jinzi say: "Let's eat in the yard today, the weather is great, I want to bask in the sun for a while!"
"Alright, go ahead and bring out a low wooden table."
As soon as the mother's voice fell, Xiao Xiao ran into the house with a thud, carrying out a small wooden table. Although Xiao Xiao was short in stature, she had quite a bit of strength, and Jinzi guessed that this young girl must have been accustomed to doing rough work. At the age of 16 or 17, modern girls are usually carefree and in high school, some still doting on their parents... Thinking about this, Jinzi couldn't help but feel a few more points of sympathy for Xiao Xiao.
Jinzi stirred the rice in the ceramic bowl with a spoon, but he had no appetite at all, even though his stomach was very hungry at this moment.
Congee with preserved egg and a small dish of pickled mustard greens.
This is the second time she has eaten this tasteless rice porridge after her rebirth. Jin San Niang is also the legitimate daughter of the Jin family, no matter how much she was confined at home and not treated well in the past, but it's not like they would bully her to such an extent, right?
Look, no wonder Jin San Niang has such a slender arm and leg, frail and weak. She can't even eat enough rice, let alone talk about raising people?
Jinzi is a foodie in modern times, her favorite thing to do after work is to follow her colleagues to sweep through the delicious food, if she's allowed to eat this every day in the future, it's better to kill her...
"Ah, wife, the doctor said you've just recovered from a long illness and can only have some porridge..." Mother Zhu said with her head down, barely audible.
It turns out to be this way, which is also reasonable.
"Oh, it's nothing!" Jinzi picked up the spoon and directly poured the rice porridge into her mouth with a loud "gulp", but she didn't touch that small dish of salty vegetables at all.
That thing is pickled and actually not good for health.
Jinzi finished his breakfast quickly and neatly, leaving his mother and Xiaoxiao staring at him in surprise.
When busy with work, Jinzi often eats at such a speed and has gotten used to it. However, looking at the two of them staring in shock, it seems that he needs to pay more attention to his image from now on.
"You all go down and have dinner, I'll sit here for a while!" Jinzi took the handkerchief handed over by Xiao Xiao and wiped his mouth, instructing.
Just as Mother Wang was about to respond, several coughs were heard from outside the courtyard gate.
"It's Auntie Feng who has come!" Xiao laughed in surprise and said.
Zhuang's mother quickly walked up to greet her, having gone earlier to collect the monthly allowance. However, the housekeeper under Feng's mother said she was not there, and they were unable to get the silver, only managing to bring back some rice, grains, and dried vegetables. There was no meat or other dishes at all. Zhuang's mother also knew that this was the housekeeper intentionally making things difficult for her. That day, Feng's mother had indeed been drinking tea in the inner chamber, but she herself did not have the authority to barge in.
Today, for some reason, she actually invited Feng Mama, the highest authority, over.
"Madam Feng, how did you come? If there's something to discuss, just send a message through the little maid and I'll go over right away. How could I dare trouble Madam to come in person?" Madam Feng smiled warmly.
"Yesterday, I heard from someone downstairs that you were collecting your monthly allowance. It just so happened that I was taking a nap at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have delayed coming to Qingfeng Garden and given people reason to say I'm intentionally stalling. Since I was passing by today, I brought it over with me." Feng Mama tossed a few strings of cash to Zhuang Mama from her pocket, but her eyes glanced past her into the courtyard.
"Come over smoothly? I'd rather die than believe it!" Laughing softly, she whispered to Jinzi, "Who doesn't know that our Qingfeng Garden is the most secluded in the entire mansion? This side is neither adjacent to Madame's inner courtyard nor has a storage room. How could Manager Feng possibly come over from here smoothly? That's absolutely impossible!"
Jinzi smiled upon hearing this, remembering that Aunt Feng was actually from the Lin family's side. It seemed that coming over to deliver the monthly silver was just an excuse; her true intention was to confirm whether San Niang had really come back to life.
At this point, Jinzi turned his head to look at the two people standing opposite each other at the gate of the courtyard, and smiled: "Since you've come, why not invite Feng Mama in for a chat?"
After Feng's mother came over, her eyes fell on Jinzi's body. She had just thought that the three daughters-in-law looked more spirited than before, but now she actually heard her speak clearly and in an orderly manner, and was stunned.
Didn't I hear it right? Didn't I just hear it right?
"Feng Mama, your daughter-in-law is calling you!" Feng Mama reminded.
"Really, San Niangzi can talk now?" Feng Mama asked, pulling on the coarse linen clothes of Cuan Mama, unlike her calm demeanor when she first arrived.
At the thought of having her own burden from now on, she couldn't help but raise her head and respond solemnly: "Yes!"
This thing must be told to the lady immediately...
The person who was supposed to die suddenly came back to life, no longer stiff like a wooden puppet, and even opened his mouth to speak...
I thought it was just exaggeration and nonsense before, but now I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears...
This is too ridiculous, isn't it?
"Thank you, young lady. I still have things to attend to, so I won't disturb you anymore!" Old Lady Feng bowed and turned around, her feet moving swiftly as if carried by the wind.
Mrs. Wang didn't care whether Mrs. Feng was surprised or not, she had this month's monthly allowance clutched in her hand, and smiled with a pleased grin, thinking that this month would be deducted again, but unexpectedly Mrs. Feng personally delivered it, and even gave more... Now it's good, can buy some meat for my wife to nourish her body!
Jinzi took advantage of the time when his mother and Xiao Xiao were having dinner to get up and take a stroll in the courtyard. The flowers, grasses, and herbs were all well-maintained!
Looking at the wooden scaffolding by the wall, the emerald green vines covered the top of the shed, casting a shadow on the ground. Jinzi walked over and stood in the shade under the wooden shed, stretched out his hand to measure it, and thought to himself: "In the future, I'll put a swing chair in this position, and in the summer, I can rest and drink tea under the night-blooming jasmine and honeysuckle, what a leisurely and carefree life!"
