Chapter 925 - 923: A Familiar First Meeting
Wang Yongzhu expressed gratitude for the lesson and suddenly remembered: "Mother, didn’t Aunt Li from the front courtyard say she would also come to help us today?"
"Since Lady Li mentioned it, we shouldn’t be too eager to bring her over first thing in the morning to help, should we? Let’s first move our things over and prepare a bit, then have the carriage bring Lady Li and her husband over. By then, we should be mostly ready. If anything seems amiss, we can consult with Lady Li. This way, we won’t trouble others too much or waste time!" Old Granny Zhang advised Wang Yongzhu.
Wang Yongzhu hadn’t thought that far; she always considered Madam Gu to be straightforward and not someone who takes advantage of others.
Moreover, being new to Jing County without many friends or family, it’s good to maintain friendly relations with neighbors. Even if we can’t expect much help, having someone to speak a word for us at critical times is beneficial.
As for Old Lady Li in the front courtyard, she didn’t think too much about it, just thought to send more thank-you gifts to Old Lady Li afterward.
Now, hearing Old Granny Zhang’s arrangement on how to interact with people, Wang Yongzhu felt somewhat ashamed, realizing Old Granny Zhang’s experience was indeed richer.
Old Granny Zhang patted Wang Yongzhu’s hand: "You’re still young and don’t understand these things. People change. We need to be generous when necessary, but also frugal when required."
"This matter today isn’t very significant; if Madam Gu is sensible, she’ll come over as if nothing happened. If she isn’t, then there’s no need to maintain much contact in the future." Old Granny Zhang was very calm.
Wang Yongzhu nodded repeatedly, indicating that she needs to learn more from Old Granny Zhang in such matters in the future.
Old Granny Wu and Old Madam Ding, along with Gu Yu, who were beside them, didn’t dare to interrupt as the old lady was teaching her daughter.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu not only expressing her wish to learn from Old Granny Zhang but also joking around to make Old Granny Zhang laugh, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Because yesterday, Imperial Doctor Du specifically mentioned for Wang Yongzhu and her family to bring Imperial Doctor Du and his family along when going to the viewing platform.
