The dumb aunt slowly opened her eyes, and under the light in front of her, Liu Xiucai's wife, Liu Xue, Qiao's mother, Qian'er, and Liu Wan all stared at her.

The dumb aunt raised her hand and touched her face, "I don't have a flower on my face, you think so-"

A pain in my neck.

"Don't move, it's already medicated. Qian'er took her hand and wept: "Why don't you know how to protect yourself, there is a long and deep wound, a lot of blood has flowed, and the white coat has been dyed in several places." ”

A voice cried beside the pillow, it was Chang'an.

The dumb aunt reached out and touched Chang'an's hair, looked at the people in front of her in turn, and sighed: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen - I realized that as women, it is really not easy for us to do something." ”

Liu Wan pouted: "I'm a man—"

"Go, who doesn't know you're a man!"

Liu Wan cheekily took credit: "I did a good job today, right? Stinky woman, aren't you ready to praise me!"

The dumb girl smiled: "Thank you so much, that thing was done beautifully, this is to save me from fire and water - how do you know that we didn't sign the contract, and when did you let Avi make up the contract? Also, your skills are already very good, even that sturdy young man can beat it!"

Liu Wan became more and more proud, and glanced at Qian'er: "Don't think that I eat white rice all day long, people are also constantly making progress - this heart is also finer than in the past, and I think about things thoroughly, and I am more and more like a real man!"

Shallow eating and laughing.

When Mrs. Liu Xiucai and Mother Qiao saw that the dumb aunt woke up, they were so happy that they hurriedly poured water for her to wipe her face, served rice and tea, "Today is really dangerous-" Mrs. Liu Xiucai told Mama Qiao: "You haven't seen that formation, then Avi is unreasonable, and his mother is not a good person, she will hit someone when she pounces on it, and she scratches the dumb girl's neck." Alas, I'm scared when I think about it, this rice bowl is not delicious-"

Qiao's mother sighed: "It's really not easy, the dumb girl has worked hard for all of us, and she has suffered so many grievances, it's really not easy." ”

Only Bai Chen watched coldly from the side.

She looked at the women in front of her and the dumb aunt who was sandwiched together by Liu Wan and surrounded by a pillow, she couldn't stand it, and she couldn't get used to it. The upbringing of this Liufu is getting worse and worse, look at it, Qian'er, this little is just a maid, and she dares to openly ridicule Young Master Liu Wan, Young Master Liu Wan actually doesn't care at all, it seems that he has long been used to this! There is also the little mute in Chang'an, crying like a dead mother, and what is even more excessive is that an inferior mother-in-law like Qiao's mother actually squeezed into this master's house with her child, and let the child climb up and down the ground to make a fuss. If this continues, Xue'er will really be hopeless, and she will only become another uneducated rough girl, and it will be strange if she will not be disliked by her in-laws when the time comes. My sister knows underground, and she will be so angry that she will get up from the coffin when she sees this.

Bai Chen coughed, pulled Liu Xue, Liu Xue was still holding Fu'er's little hand in her hand, Bai Chen knocked off the little hand: "Xue'er, you have forgotten what your aunt taught? Why did you hold that kid's hand again? I really forgot my superiority and humility, the rules are all gone, what kind of person are you, a dignified and upright young lady, how can you mix with inferior people? You are not afraid of dirty your hands, but I am afraid of ruining the reputation of your daughter." ”

Fu'er was suddenly beaten, his feet were unstable, and a horse fell on his stomach, and he immediately cried.

Qiao's mother picked up the child, the corners of her mouth cracked, and blood came out.

"Auntie, what are you doing?" Liu Xue shouted: "Why don't you look at anyone well? You have no easy days since you came to our corner courtyard - we all have to live by looking at your faces! Are you still not satisfied?"

"Smack-" A slap mark fell on Liu Xue's snow-white face.

Bai Chen shook his wrist, "I'll teach you a good lesson for your dead mother, this uneducated wild girl! Dare to talk to the elders in such a tone? What's wrong with me here, why don't you make you unhappy? Your master is not a master, slaves are not like slaves, there is no distinction between men and women, and it is easy for the old and the young to mix together?"

Liu Xue covered her face and cried.

Liu Wan stood up slowly, the clouds on his face rolled, and Qian'er behind him hugged his arm, looking at him with pleading eyes, not wanting him to speak against his elders.

Liu Xiucai's mother took the medicine powder and wiped it on Fu'er's lips.

Bai Chen saw that everyone was cold, no one paid attention to her, and he stomped his feet angrily: "You don't welcome me, don't treat me as if I don't know, anyway, I am also the wife of the main house who came out of a big family, why should I suffer from the idleness of you children-" said and walked out.

"Stop—" shouted the dumb girl.

"Tell her to go-" Liu Wan shouted in a higher voice: "It is easy to send God, this plague god can take the initiative to leave, it is a blessing for all of us!"

Bai Chen was so angry when he heard it in the courtyard that he almost fell down.

She actually had nowhere to go when she went out of the corner courtyard gate, so after thinking about it, she went to find her husband Bai Yulin.

The dumb aunt sighed: "I'm afraid that this will be a bad thing to let go—if you turn around and say bad things about us in front of the master, our life in the corner courtyard will be really difficult." ”

Qiao's mother was aggrieved: "Dumb girl, don't worry, it's a big deal that when the time comes, all of us will leave, she just won't like her when you treat us well, and when the time comes, the master will blame us, and you will drive us away, and it is estimated that she will have nothing to say." ”

Liu Wan was indignant: "Why did you put up with her so much? Didn't you just run to our house to take refuge in distress, and live a restless and self-conscious life, but it was like the emperor's relatives descending to the homes of ordinary people! You don't know, Aunt Bai actually asked me to borrow money for emergencies, and I was not allowed to say it." I don't belong to my family, where do I have extra money to borrow. I couldn't pester him, so I could only give him a jade pendant I was wearing. It is estimated that it can be a few hundred taels. ”

Qian'er was anxious first: "How can you give away that jade pendant? That is the nephrite jade pendant that the master rewarded, it is rare now." ”

Liu Wan bared his teeth: "I stubbornly follow the borrowing money, and if I don't give something, I will definitely not be able to leave-what can I do!"

Qian'er stomped her feet: "Little grandma, you can give such a valuable thing away! Besides, that Bai family's uncle-in-law is really good, just bring a lot of wives and children to eat rice, and also make money with children, what kind of system!"

The dumb aunt didn't speak, looked at Liu Wan in a daze, and said for a long time: "The Bai family's uncle-in-law borrowed money from a child, which shows that he is really short of money, but we provide food and drink for the nine of them, and he still needs money?"

Liu Wan was preoccupied with white eyes, and suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "I know, Elm Alley - he must have gone to Elm Alley to gamble for money-"

The dumb aunt stared at Liu Wan's eyes: "Are you listening to something somewhere?"

The old bell hurried over.

The dumb aunt barely got up, "Old Uncle Zhong, you tell me the truth, that Bai family's uncle, Bai Yulin, what does he do every day in our mansion?"

Lao Zhong looked hesitant, "This, this Aunt Bai ......"

The dumb aunt knew that things were not good as soon as she saw this expression, "Old Uncle Zhong, just tell the truth, don't have any worries." ”

Old Uncle Zhong coughed: "Little grandma, we have had the experience of going out to visit the Mother Tower together, and I also know that you are a cheerful person, so I dare to say these words." This uncle-in-law of the Bai family, our family shouldn't have taken in this family in the first place, and he didn't care about the expenses for eating, drinking, etc., he wasn't a person who lived in peace—"

Liu Wan interjected: "Then Avi told me that there was a gambling Bai Ye in Elm Alley, who made a generous move, and threatened to say that it was a big family in Qingzhou Mansion, and he was originally not short of silver flowers, but now that he is down, I feel that something is wrong, this person seems to be Aunt Bai." ”

"Not really. Uncle Zhong shook his head: "After he came, he only sat in peace for three days, and he felt bored, and wanted to go out to have fun outside, I stopped him a few times, and the door was also blocked, you said that this is an extraordinary period, his identity is sensitive, and it is right to hide and hide, how can he run out to show off? But he is a big living person, where can he stop it! Either bribe the kid at the door with money, or he is tough to break out, our old man is soft-hearted, and he says that his relatives are not good at blackface- He went out to gamble, and stole things from the small courtyard of the guest house and pawned them—"

"That's funny!" laughed the dumb girl.

The laughter blinded everyone.

At this time, I can still laugh!

"It's just that his family disturbs us, and they also borrow money, steal things, and gamble, and his eldest wife is raised by me with good food and drink, and she actually looks at no one and picks on us everywhere, just now, she tore her skin with us and left--she keeps saying that we are poor, inferior, and inferior, and puts the money of the head wife of a big family with us, and it turns out that the big family is like this- If it weren't for Bai Ziqi's face, I wouldn't have managed her! I really don't know how Bai Ziqi suffered. ”

"Don't do anything about my cousin, he's a rare good man!" Liu Wan hurriedly protected himself.

Lao Zhong owes his body, "Speaking of which, Aunt Bai's family is thanks to an old general Bai, and the old aunt and wife of the Bai family are also a woman who can take charge of things, when she was young, she supported the livelihood of the family, and then the old general Bai went into hiding, and he stared at the things of life, this Bai Yulin has been pampered since he was a child, and he is a son and brother when he grows up, and he has seen that he has been mixed up like this for most of his life - but now that the family is in distress, he has fallen to such a point, it is really time to change the problem and make a long-term plan for the future of the family." ”

The dumb aunt nodded: "He didn't even want to revive the family business, but ate and waited for death all day long, such a person is really wonderful." ”

Old Uncle Zhong looked at the dumb aunt's face, "Little grandma, old man, if I say a lot of words, you shouldn't care about this family, I heard the second aunt say that you quietly pay them living expenses behind your back." Why bother, first, they don't know how to cherish it, even if they know the truth, they won't necessarily appreciate it, and secondly, let's see what you've tired yourself into, how can you stand it like this!"

The dumb aunt muttered, "I'm just doing a little bit of my best, for the sake of Cousin Bai Ziqi's help us many times last winter, it's not too much for me to take care of his family and parents for three months." But it's true that I'm not iron-clad, and there's a limit to my kindness. Old Uncle Zhong, from this month onwards, I no longer have the ability to continue to provide food and drink for the nine of them. As for what to do next, you can see. ”

Lao Zhong frowned: "After all, they are relatives, and it is not good for the master to drive people out directly, and besides, people like us can't do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing." It's just that if the Bai family's uncle-in-law is really restless, in case he gets into trouble......" he groaned, unable to decide.

The dumb aunt was also worried, originally thinking that it was a good thing, relatives were in trouble and should be taken in, Bai Ziqi didn't know her whereabouts, as long as her dumb aunt was alive, she wouldn't watch his relatives live on the streets and be helpless, but who knew that this family was so uneasy. Now it's a hot potato.

The eyes lazily stared at the lights, the candles flickered, and a person at the door was quietly looking.

"Who?" the dumb aunt saw first.

Liu Wanyi lifted the door curtain.

A little guy grunted and fell in, "Steward Zhong, I can be regarded as having found you, things are not good, there is news from outside, the Bai family's uncle-in-law asked the government to arrest him-the old man is so angry that he jumps to his feet and scolds." ”

They were worried just now, but they didn't expect it to happen in a blink of an eye.

The dumb aunt sweated as soon as she was in a hurry, and wanted to stand up, but her body bones were so soft that she couldn't stand up, so she could only lie down again, gritting her teeth in anger, "It's really not worry-free!"

Old Uncle Zhong hurried to the front yard.
