He Ajiao, who was covering her face and crying, cried when she heard Wei's words, raised her face and said in astonishment: "What court?

After He Ajiao finished speaking, she pulled the sleeve of Mrs. He's shirt.

Old Mrs. He remembered what He Ling had told Chu Rong'er, and she also frowned fiercely, and said with a straight face: "These three girls are really messing around! They are all relatives of the family, and they are still connected to the tendons when they break their bones! You send someone to Anguo's mansion and tell her to withdraw the paper quickly, otherwise she won't take me seriously, and she won't have to go back to this mother's house in the future!"

Wei Shi was a little surprised and said: "It turns out that my mother still wants He Ling to go back to this mother's house? I would be mistaken, I thought that my mother had divorced Yu at this time, because she wanted to completely tear her face with their mother and daughter, so that she could meet in court." ”

Mrs. He was speechless.

If the Yu family is divorced, it is not impossible for He Ling to refuse to return to her parents' house in a fit of anger. With a biological mother who was abandoned by her husband's family, He Ling may not be able to raise her head in front of people in her life.

Wei said indifferently: "But it's nothing to tear your face, and He Ling's dowry was not stolen by Sister Rong, even if it goes to court, it's just a matter of going through the motions." In this way, I will let the fourth child write a letter of resignation. ”

After Wei Shi finished speaking, he turned around and left, He Ajiao's face changed, and she hurriedly jumped off the bed, she couldn't even wear her shoes, she jumped up and grabbed Wei's arm tightly, "No! Yu can't rest!"

Wei wanted to tear the hand off his arm but didn't move, he couldn't help frowning and looked at He Ajiao.

He Ajiao noticed her gaffe, and forced a smile to make up for it: "Although this Yu family is not like words, but for the sake of her giving birth to children for the He family, I won't care about her." What I said to my mother just now was all angry words, how could I really give people a break. Mother, you said yes, right?"

He Ajiao turned her head to look at Mrs. He.

Mrs. He was also afraid that if she really had to go to court, she and Ajiao He would be implicated, and when the time came, she would lose face, so she nodded and said: "What Gillian said is reasonable, let the Yu family keep it for the time being." You send someone to the third girl first, and ask her to quickly withdraw the paper!"

He Ajiao hurriedly added pretendically: "You tell her that if she continues to mess around, the old lady will let the fourth child divorce her mother, and the adopted daughter will not be taught, filial piety and virtuousness." ”

Wei didn't bother to break with the mother and daughter, so he didn't say anything, but just bowed his head. After leaving Yannian Hall, he immediately sent someone to the Zhuang house of Anguo Mansion to deliver a message to He Ling according to the meaning of Mrs. He and He Ajiao.

Who knows, He Ling, who has always loved to pretend to be well-behaved in front of her elders, was very angry this time, and replied that she wanted her to withdraw the case, unless Chu Rong'er returned her dowry intact, she would see her in court. If the He family wants to divorce her mother because of this matter, she will take her mother to the banker's house, and her husband has already responded to this matter.

Wei fed back He Ling's reply to Mrs. He and Mrs. He Gillian, Mrs. He was so angry that she scolded He Ling for being against the sky, and He Gillian was also anxious and angry, crying and begging Mrs. He to call the shots.

Mrs. He wanted to call the shots, but she thought about it but had no way to take He Ling. He Ling is already married, and she is not in her hands, and listening to the meaning of He Ling's words, there is still the Guogong Mansion behind her to support her.

In the end, Mrs. He still asked Wei, "What do you say should I do now?"

Wei: "There is no other way than to make up the dowry for her." ”

He Ajiao rolled her eyes and said first: "Then the public will give her some more silver and make up for her." ”

Mrs. He glanced at Ajiao He and didn't speak.

Wei Shi said lightly: "If I make up for it this time, next time I'm afraid that someone will dare to stretch out his hand, won't there be chaos in the house." There are family rules in the family, and this matter must be investigated, and all those who have passed through it will be brought forward one by one for trial, and whoever loses the money will make up for it with the silver. "The whole book

He Ajiao said hurriedly: "The people who serve in this courtyard are all mother's face, let you judge them one by one, how can your mother's face remain?"

Wei nodded: "It's really inappropriate for me to come to trial, or I'd better hand it over to the government." ”

He Ajiao choked, and was so anxious that she secretly pulled Mrs. He's sleeve.

Mrs. He: "There's no other way?"

Wei Shi thought for a while and said: "In order to protect my mother's face, it is not impossible for the public to give out money. But the money in the public is counted, and all expenditures must be reasonable, not that I alone can make decisions arbitrarily, so I will ask the second sister-in-law and the Hou Ye to come over and ask them what they mean. ”

He Ajiao was not very satisfied with Wei's shirk, but Old Madam He didn't speak, and she could only swallow her dissatisfaction.

Wei asked people to invite the second lady and He Chuanwu.

The second lady shirked and said that she was suffering from the wind and cold, and no one came. However, if there is a surplus of silver in the house, she has no opinion. The second lady said this euphemistically, but in fact, it meant that she didn't care about the expenses of the public middle school, provided that she did not cut the expenses of their second room.

The He family has lived a fairly prosperous life under the Wei family's control over the years, and has never had an embarrassing situation of being overstretched. But Wei also knew the temperament of Mrs. He and He Chuanwu, and she put more energy into managing her dowry, so even if there was a surplus in Gongzhong, there would not be too much surplus. The second lady is unwilling to reduce her expenses, so she can only cut the expenses of the third room and the old lady herself.

He Chuanwu wants to take the lion's share of the use of the third room in the public middle school, and if he wants to save money and make up for He Ajiao's hole, can he agree? I am afraid that the old lady He will cry and make trouble, and He Chuanwu will not show up, so people will say: Whoever takes He Ling's dowry will return it! If you make trouble, you will go to the official office to make trouble!

Seeing that the second lady and He Chuanwu both expressed their attitudes, Wei Shi looked at the old lady.

He Ajiao also looked at the old lady and stopped talking.

The old lady met the gaze of the two of them, and immediately became alert, "What do you see me doing?

He Ajiao saw that her sister-in-law and brother refused to take the money, so she could only pin her hopes on the old lady, and looked at her mother begging.

The old lady wanted to scold, but she couldn't scold in front of her daughter-in-law, and her face turned red.

Fortunately, Wei was empathetic and found an excuse to retreat first.

As soon as Wei left, He Ajiao didn't wait for the old lady to scold, knelt down first, hugged the old lady's leg and cried: "Mother, you must help me!"

Mrs. He was so angry that she kicked He Ajiao, "You are a wicked obstacle! You are helping outsiders to take my life!"

Wei Shi heard a word from the house, and he didn't turn his head back, but just asked Mama Wang to branch away from the maid outside.

It was only when the two of them in the house moved quietly, and it seemed that the discussion was over, and Wei entered the house again.

The old lady said to Wei: "It's really not good for you to interrogate the people in my house, so I'll try it myself." ”

Wei glanced at He Ajiao, and saw that she was sitting on the side with red eyes, her face full of grievances, and she understood that the old lady was reluctant to pay for it herself, and planned to let He Ajiao spit out He Ling's dowry.
