Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, and before leaving, Lady Wang gave her a hundred taels of silver, and Wang Xifeng also had eight taels of silver and a large amount of materials, earning a lot of money.
However, Jia Mu's gifts were slightly flat, and only gave Liu Grandma two sets of "old" clothes, plus some medicines and daily necessities.
(Forty-second time) When they arrived at the lower room, the Mandarin Duck pointed to a bag on the kang and said: "These are some of the old lady's clothes, which were all honored by everyone on the birthday festival in previous years, and the old lady never wears them made by others, and it is a pity that she put them away, but she has not worn them once." Yesterday I was asked to take out two sets to take with you, or to give them away, or to wear them at home, don't laugh. Inside this box are the fruit you want. In this bun is the medicine you said earlier: plum blossom dot tongue Dan also has, purple gold ingots also have, active Luo Dan also has, spawn life-saving Dan also has, each is a square wrapped, the total package is in it. It's two purses, with stubbornness. ”
Many people will wonder why Jia Mu did not give Liu Grandma money? The answer is not necessary.
Grandma Liu came to defect to Lady Wang. Madame Wang's shot of one hundred and two must have meant no longer giving money. Ping'er's words relayed to Grandma Liu were also clearly stated.
When she first came, Wang Xifeng gave twenty-two pieces of silver to save the poor. This time, the one hundred and two pieces of silver are to save the poor and not to save the emergency. The Jia family also recognized her as a "relative". As for Grandma Liu, whether they can take money to change their fate is their own problem.
Wang Xifeng gave Liu Grandma eight or two pieces of silver, mainly because she "teased" Liu Grandma's "compensation", but also as a decent housekeeper.
Since mrs. Wang, the manager, Sister Feng, gave money. Jia Mu really didn't have to spend any more money. The family is decided by the daughters-in-law, and her further substitution will only make the daughters-in-law embarrassed.
However, don't underestimate the few things that Jia Mu gave to Grandma Liu, only her things are for Grandma Liu's own. Especially those sets of clothes.
Grandma Liu came to Rongguo Mansion to take back more than a hundred taels of silver, a large number of materials, and very few that could really reach her hands.
The money that Mrs. Wang gave them, Grandma Liu would give to her son-in-law and daughter to live, and she could not keep a penny.
The food and drink will also be close to the family and children first. How could Grandma Liu "grab her mouth" with the children.
Ping'er and Mandarin ducks, their clothes are more suitable for Liu Grandma's daughter to wear... What can she be left with?
Perhaps only a few pieces of clothing and a few medicines given to her by Jia Mu are the "harvest" of Grandma Liu.
Several drugs, mostly for sores, joint communication and the like, Liu Grandma is older and can use it daily. She lived in her son-in-law's house, and she had a small illness and did not have money to seek medical treatment, so she could only stand up.
Now that Jia Mu has given medicines and prescriptions, she can get some money to buy medicines herself, which saves the difficulty of opening her mouth with her son-in-law.
The elderly know the elderly. When Jia Mu was old, she knew that she would also "hate", so she once said to Lady Xing, "I have reduced everything myself." ”
Jia Mu is still like this, let alone Grandma Liu. Out of empathy, what Jia Mu gave to Grandma Liu must be "necessary" things.
Grandma Liu was seventy-five years old at the time, and she had reached her twilight years. The most concerned is not "how long to live", but how to arrange it after death.
Jia Mu was several years younger than her, and everything behind her was ready.
Grandma Liu didn't have the money to prepare, and she probably had a coffin board. Decent clothing is impossible.
Jia Mu gave Liu Grandma two sets of clothes sent by others during the New Year, saying that they were for Liu Grandma to wear, in fact, I know that Liu Grandma is not willing to do it at all, and must keep it in the future when she dies.
Every year for Jia Mu's new year's festival and birthday, the Jia family or relatives would give her clothes, which was the main "gift" at that time.
However, Jia Mu did not wear other people's clothes by nature, and they were all made by the servants around her or the granddaughters and daughters-in-law of the family.
In her capacity as the "Lady of the Rongguo Gong", the clothes made for her can be imagined to be made of materials, needles and threads, and embroidery. The value of that set of clothes may not be able to buy even if it is less than a few dozen taels of silver.
Jia Mu ordered to give Liu Grandma two sets, the old lady's clothing style, take it back no one can share her, only Liu Grandma herself wear.
Whether she wore it for the New Year's Festival or kept it as a dress, Jia Mu gave Liu Grandma the greatest kindness and consideration.
When people get old, it is easy to see the essence through phenomena. Grandma Liu went to the Jia family to ask for people three times and four times, where she was willing. But she was supported by her son-in-law, and now that her family is poor, why should she live with herself if she does not help find a way?
Those things given by the Jia family were difficult to give to Grandma Liu after they went back. Just like the twenty-two pieces of silver that came for the first time, how many bites could she get even if she ate meat when she went back? On the contrary, it was the clothes and medicines sent by Jia Mu that made her really come in vain.
