"Now that my family is poor and has no food, so…so this old woman boldly brought this grandson here to acknowledge his relatives and ask for help.
He had wanted to find Zhou Rui, but he heard that Zhou Rui had been sold for embezzling money from Rong Mansion.”
"Now that I've met you, please let me meet Mrs. Wang.”
Hearing Jia Lian's question, Granny Liu could also see Jia Lian's impatience, so she endured the trembling in her heart and bravely introduced herself to Jia Lian.
Hearing the old woman's words, Jia Lian's furrowed brows relaxed.
From the words of this old woman, Jia Lian knew that this old woman was Granny Liu.
Granny Liu was not related to the Rong Mansion at all, but her son-in-law's ancestor was an official with Madam Wang's father. Later, because they both had the surname Wang, they were connected as relatives.
It was just that Granny Liu's son-in-law's family was defeated too quickly.
Of course, Jia Lian, who was supposed to be a relative of Madam Wang and Granny Liu, would have been sent away to never appear in front of the Rong Mansion.
However, Jia Lian wanted to invite Granny Liu in and treat her to a feast just like in the original novel. He also wanted to let Granny Liu return with a full load when she left.
As for why Jia Lian wanted to do this, it was because Granny Liu was someone who knew how to repay kindness.
In the original novel, Granny Liu had entered the Rong Mansion three times, and each time she left, she would take away a large amount of rewards from the Rong Mansion.
Later, when the Rong Mansion was in trouble, Granny Liu had already become rich.
Later, when Granny Liu learned that Rong Mansion had been raided, she used her connections to meet Wang Xifeng in prison. After that, under Wang Xifeng's pleading, she kept looking for Sister Qiao 'er.
By the time Granny Liu found Sister Qiao 'er, she had already been sold to a brothel.
At that time, Sister Qiao 'er was still a child, and she had to be asked by the brothel madame to receive customers.
If it wasn't for Granny Liu's timely warning, Sister Qiao 'er would have hated the unexpected.
In order to keep Sister Qiao 'er, Granny Liu had promised the brothel madame to sell her family property and redeem Sister Qiao' er.
One must know that when Granny Liu found Sister Qiao 'er, she was still wearing gold and silver. However, when she redeemed Sister Qiao' er, all the gold and silver jewelry on her body was gone, and her decent clothes were also gone.
From this, it could be seen how much Granny Liu wanted to repay her kindness. Unfortunately, when Granny Liu finally brought Sister Qiao 'er to see Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng had already frozen to death in the cell.
In the end, he passed away with his obsession and longing for Sister Qiao 'er.
Qiao 'er was Jia Lian's precious daughter, Da Niuniu.
Looking at Granny Liu, Jia Lian's eyes couldn't help but feel warm.
"How dare you, a relative who has nothing to do with you, come to our Rong Mansion to acknowledge your family. I think you're asking for a beating because you're not satisfied with the money you've received.”
The servant beside Jia Lian pointed at Granny Liu and scolded angrily.
Everyone in the Rong Mansion knew that Jia Lian and Madam Wang of the Second household were like fire and water.
Now that Granny Liu had come in front of Jia Lian to try to establish a relationship with Madam Wang, wasn't this the old lady going to the latrine to light a lamp and look for sh * t?
"Retreat…"
The servant's words scared Granny Liu and she couldn't help but quietly take a step back, afraid that she would anger Jia Lian.
To be honest, she knew that her family had nothing to do with the Rong Mansion.
However, the main reason why she took the initiative to climb up the social ladder now was because she wanted to thank Madam Wang for giving her two silver coins.
He definitely did not have any other thoughts.
When Jia Lian heard the servant's angry shout, his expression turned cold and he shouted at the servant to retreat.
Seeing that Jia Lian seemed to be angry, the servant hurriedly shut his mouth and retreated behind Jia Lian.
"Since we are relatives, how can we not come in at the door? Those who don't know better would think that our Rong Mansion is arrogant.
Come in with me."
Jia Lian invited Granny Liu with a smile.
After saying that, he instructed the servant who was protecting his master,
"Tell the kitchen to prepare a table of fish and meat and send them to our courtyard.”
"Yes, sir!"
The servant received Jia Lian's instructions and did not dare to say anything more. He responded to Jia Lian and turned around to run into the manor.
"Thank you, Sir!"
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Granny Liu was treated with such respect by such a rich person for the first time in her life. Thus, she pulled her grandson and hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Lian.
"Alright, quickly get up and come in with me. Didn't you say that the child was hungry? I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare a table of meat for you.”
Jia Lian looked at Granny Liu kneeling and bowing at the drop of a hat. Jia Lian felt a little emotional.
In the original novel, when Granny Liu entered the Rong Mansion and begged Zhou Rui's family, although Zhou Rui's family was polite to Granny Liu, their expressions were full of contempt and disgust.
Although she had gotten a lot of things in the last two visits to Rong Mansion, Granny Liu was just a plaything that the female masters of Rong Mansion treated as a joke.
Seeing Granny Liu's nervous, restrained, and inexperienced look, they found it novel.
Not only did he make the female masters in the residence happy, but he also made Grandmother Jia happy. Naturally, this reward was not small.
Granny Liu naturally knew that she was being teased, but she had never blamed anyone.
In Granny Liu's heart, it was normal for her to be laughed at because she was so lowly. However, Granny Liu was very grateful for the Rong Mansion's gift.
…
"Second Master, where did you get this old man?”
The dining hall in the courtyard where Jia Lian lived in Rong Mansion…
Wang Xifeng sat beside Jia Lian and watched Granny Liu and her grandson wolfing down food at the table.
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw how she was eating.
Then, he asked Jia Lian beside him in a low voice.
"She's a relative of your Wang Clan. Her son-in-law's ancestor was an official in the capital and shared the same surname as your Wang Clan.”
"Originally, she came to look for the second branch. I also wanted to send her away, but then I thought that she was also your relative. I heard that they seemed to have not eaten for a long time, so I brought her here.”
Jia Lian smiled and explained to Wang Xifeng in a low voice.
As for the real purpose of bringing Granny Liu here, Jia Lian didn't say.
Of course, Jia Lian was now confident that Rong Mansion would not collapse under his control. However, he also had a good impression of Granny Liu and thanked her for saving his daughter in the original novel.
He didn't let his daughter suffer a tragic fate.
"That's what I said!"
Hearing Jia Lian's explanation, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel a little sweet.
Then, he said,
"Watching them eat, I feel like I have an appetite.”
Seeing Granny Liu and her grandson wolfing down their food, Wang Xifeng, who was used to eating delicacies, had an appetite.
"If you want to eat, just let the kitchen cook.
Oh right, Big Niu Niu doesn't have a name now either…"
