The biggest reason why Granny Liu came to Jiafu was to ask Jiafu to give her some more silver. Judging from the timing of Granny Liu's entry, she only started after the autumn harvest, which is the busiest season of the year and the most harvested period of the year. In ancient times, after autumn, people often followed a tradition called "the poor knocking on the door of the rich", which meant that the poor would go to the homes of the rich to "draw the rich" in order to get their support during the poor days of winter. Granny Liu entered Rongguo Mansion for the second time, so she took the opportunity to go to Jiafu to ask for some silver. She sent a few fruits as a thank you gift, which not only showed her reason for coming to Jiafu, but also asked Jiafu for help. This can be seen from her next performance, she is not only grateful, but also because she did not sell all the watermelons in the field, so she will ask Jia Fu for more silver.
The reason why Jia's mother met Granny Liu was because of Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck. "When Granny Liu was a guest in Jiafu,"Wang Xifeng"And he left it alone"her", I have other important things to do"。This action made Jia's mother feel a little unusual in her eyes. So Mother Jia sent someone to inquire about Zhou Rui's family, but unexpectedly heard that Granny Liu was coming back. Mother Jia was very surprised, and wondered if Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng had treated Granny Liu badly. Such doubts also prompted Jia's mother to want to meet Granny Liu to find out why she was here and how she had any connection to the Wang family. Mother Jia received Granny Liu, in addition to expressing her respect, but also to take this opportunity to inquire more about things. And Mother Jia also saw that if she could invite Granny Liu to go, she would be able to put pressure on Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, so that they would reward Granny Liu with a sum of silver taels again, so as to make up for their mistakes.
Granny Liu"was teased by Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck, and realized that he had been fooled. "Although she was teased about, she did not express any dissatisfaction or anger. Rather, they show their understanding and tolerance in a calm manner. "What does it matter to make an old woman happy," she said?You told me beforehand, I understand, but it's all a joke. If I were angry, I wouldn't have said it. It can be heard from Granny Liu's words that she knows that she will become the laughing stock of others, but she does not mind, but treats it with a calm attitude. She knew that Wang Xifeng and Mandarin Duck were deliberately making fun of herself, so she was so tolerant, so that she could better ask for some benefits from the Jia family. She understands very well that a place as big as Jiafu must not embarrass others. She came to Jiafu for help, and naturally she had to endure a lot of hardship. Therefore, although Granny Liu was deceived, she still showed an open-minded and calm mentality, and at the right time, she chose her position.
The conclusion is: Granny Liu came to Jiafu to ask for more silver, and in the name of repaying her kindness, she sent some fruits to Jiafu. The biggest reason why Jia's mother received her was the behavior of Wang Xifeng and Granny Liu, and she suspected that they treated her unfairly. Granny Liu knew that she had been deceived, but she treated it with a calm mind and showed understanding and tolerance. The above expositions are all based on the plot line narrated in Dream of Red Mansions, and are summarized and reasoned about. From this, we can more deeply understand the status and role of the small incident of Granny Liu's two visits to Rongguofu in "Dream of Red Mansions".
