Lian Man'er was not very surprised to see that the Song family sent someone to send Gu and Lian Duoer. These two people did go to the Song family in the county. The Song family sent the people back, which saved them trouble. Otherwise, her family would have to go out to the county town to find the mother and daughter.

As the Song family came, Lian Man'er had to temporarily put aside the matter of interrogating He Laoliu's wife and searching the east wing room.

Aunt Sun and Xiaohong were holding Gu'er, and Lian Duoer each held Lian Duoer with a smile on their faces, respectfully, and there was a servant holding a big bag of gifts behind them. However, there was no smile on the faces of Gu and Lian Duoer. Gu'er looked desolate, while Lian Duoer pouted, with obvious anger.

"See you to the old master and the old lady. Send you to the fourth master and the girl..." After worshiping Mr. Lian and Zhou, Aunt Sun and Xiaohong respectfully saluted Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er, and then saluted Lian Shouren and others.

Following the previous practice, Aunt Sun and Xiaohong came, so they asked them to go to the kang to talk. But Aunt Sun saw Lian Man'er sitting there and refused to sit on the kang, so she picked up a slightly shorter bench and sat next to the edge of the kang with Xiaohong.

"... The in-laws are kind enough to see our old lady. Our old lady is very moved. I originally thought that I would stay with my in-laws for a few more days, but our old lady also knew that the in-laws and the old lady were just the time to serve her daughter-in-law. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and this family is afraid that it is impossible to leave the in-laws' management, so I dare not force her to stay." Aunt Sun sat on the stool and explained to Mr. Lian and Zhou with a smile.

Then, the gifts he brought were given, just some snacks, rulers and other items, and a pack of twenty taels of silver.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but look at Gu and Lian Duoer. As far as she knew, the mother and daughter were missing, wearing homely clothes. Because after returning from Taicang's crime, Lian's house was penniless and naturally had no money to buy decent clothes. Therefore, the homely clothes were all old coarse cloth clothes, and they were all patched.

But now, Gu and Lian Duoer are wearing 90% new silk clothes, and they are quite well-matched.

This was obviously done by the old lady of the Song family. Not only did she change the two of them with decent clothes, but she also gave them twenty taels of silver. It has to be said that the old lady of the Song family was quite decent and could not miss it. Therefore, it made Gu's behavior of bringing Lian Duoer to the door in a ragged manner, which made him even more embarrassing.

Gu used to be a person with good face, but now she doesn't care about these things.

"...A little bit of polite gifts is the little bit of our old lady's wish. I also asked the old lady and the old lady to accept it with a smile." Aunt Sun smiled again.

Aunt Sun said clearly. The things and money were given to Mr. Lian and Zhou. Gu was beside him, and his gray face became even more desolate. She ignored her dignity and went to Jinyang County with all her thoughts to find the Song family's door. What she wanted was not the result.

Seeing that the Song family gave a generous gift, the others in the house were moved.

Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, He and others had a little light in their eyes, while the old man's face was slightly red and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ahem," Mr. Lian coughed twice, refusing, "The old lady in the in-laws is so polite. She brought so many things last time, and it was only a few days later. The relatives said that it is enough to have this intention. We cannot accept this gift."

When the gifts are exchanged, how many gifts are sent by others? Logically, it is time to go back to the same gift. Even the old man is a person who loves face, and he cannot accept this kind of relief gift calmly. In his philosophy, the Song family is the granddaughter's in-laws' family and has no obligation to do this. Especially this gift was sent by the Song family when Gu escaped from his home and ran to the Song family by himself.

This is no different from begging. They are poor now and are not living well, but they cannot lose their dignity.

"Just because it was from a relative, the old man would be polite to us, why are you?" Aunt Sun smiled and said, "This doesn't seem like a heretic."

After giving in to each other, even the old man made a concession and accepted other gifts, but...

"We have enough food and drink now. We can't ask for this money, so please take it back and return it to the old lady." The old man pushed the money to Aunt Sun.

With the wealth of the Song family, this is twenty taels of huge wealth in the merchant family, and it is nothing in his family. The Song family has always been generous in human relations, and has never taken back the things and money they gave.

So, Aunt Sun naturally won’t take that money.

And here, even the old man twisted his face, and didn't charge the money no matter what he said.

"... In-law, if I take the money back today, my life in the Song family will be over. Don't look at me with our old lady for decades, this fight will inevitably be inevitable. After the fight is over, I have to drive me out of the door." In the end, Aunt Sun could only smile.

The old man looked at Aunt Sun, then looked at the bag of silver in front of him, and finally sighed and did not continue to persevere.

Aunt Sun breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more gossips, then got up and said goodbye.

"...I have other errands on my side, so I have to rush back. The old lady's orders were to pay her respects to the Fourth Master and the Fourth Mrs. I have invited the Fourth Master's Absoluteness, and I have to invite the Fourth Mrs. Antony."

Aunt Sun was going to visit Lianman'er's house to meet Zhang before returning to the county town.

Old Master Lian glanced at Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er, and did not keep Aunt Sun anymore. Lian Man'er asked Xiao Xi to lead Aunt Sun and Xiaohong to see Zhang, while she and Lian Shouxin were kept by Old Master Lian and Zhou.

Gu and Lian Duoer ran away and were sent back. Just now, because Aunt Sun and Xiaohong were there, Old Master Lian and Zhou put this matter aside. Now that the Song family has been sent away, only the Lian family is left, it is time to make a good argument for this matter.

Gu and Lian Duoer were called to the room.

"Why are you still like a wooden clover?" Zhou pointed at Gu and cursed sternly, "Kneel down!"

Gu's body shook, and it was originally decayed, and Mu Daidai's face also showed a different expression. However, she still stood up straight and did not listen to Zhou's words, and immediately knelt down.

This made Zhou very angry. The daughter-in-law who ran away came back and wanted to make a living under her hands. She did not be so humble to her and dared to disobey her instructions. This was simply unfair.

"Why, why don't you kneel? You still feel wronged when you kneel down? You still think you are a precious person? Don't you run away, you have to live a good life with someone from the Song family. Why are you still sent back? You are so careless about your face. You are going to lose face of our old Lian family." Zhou waited for Gu family and cursed in a series of ways.

Gu lowered his head, neither retaliated nor knelt down. Lian Duoer was close to Gu, and he lowered his head slightly, but he glanced at Zhou and Lian Man'er fiercely with the corners of his eyes. Gu did not kneel, nor did she kneel.

"Why, you have made some contributions? Standing there, do you think you are punished?" Zhou became more angry when he saw that Gu still did not kneel down. He spitted on Gu's head. "Don't lose our old Lian family's face, you come back with a good dress, you have the same face to wear. Our old Lian family has been suffering for eight lifetimes and married you, the star of the destruction."

"Hurry up, take off the clothes for me." Zhou looked at Gu and Lian Duoer wearing silk clothes, and the more they looked at them, the more they didn't like them. So he stopped her from kneeling down and asked them to take off their clothes instead. "Are you taking them off by yourself or letting others take them off for you?"

Gu Shi and I Duoer didn't move.

"The second wife," Zhou greeted He, "and the wife of the Jiezu, come here and take off their clothes."

He and Jiang agreed and walked over slowly, but hesitated and refused to attack Gu and Lian Duoer.

"Everyone is doing something for food, I can't help you anymore, right?" Zhou said angrily, "I understand, you are all on the same rope, is the boss's wife promised you any benefits? Are you all thinking about going to the city with her to enjoy your happiness? I've hurt you, don't you want me to die in a flash."

"All right, there are no outsiders here. Why are you two standing there? I'm just an immortal. Come here, just strangle me to death one by one." Zhou scolded and cried, "My honest Xiu'er, look at what kind of animals you rescued..."

Zhou was very sad. She remembered the days when Lian Xiu'er was at home. At that time, she didn't talk about others. At least when she spoke, Lian Xiu'er would definitely execute. Unfortunately, Lian Xiu'er was plotted by Gu to marry the old man, and now she is a suffering widow.

When Zhou was sad, he would never complain, but would only make others even more hurt.

"Fourth brother, Man'er, have you brought people here? I can't help these animals and let your friends come and take away the aunt and the little girl." Zhou cried twice, then stopped abruptly, and said to Lian Shouxin and Lian Man'er, "It depends on what I do. What are they good things? Do you still have to give them a face?"

"We can't take this auntie anymore. We'll take off her and drive her out in a while!"

"Duoer is not a good guy, she snatched me up at once. She was only a few years old, so she ran away and lived with a man carrying the load for several days. If she didn't beat her to death, just wait for her to ruin the reputation of the old Lian family."

The new and old hatreds made Zhou's family ruthless, and they wanted to get rid of Gu's family and beat Lian Duo'er to death.
