The dumb aunt secretly ventilated and covered up her nervousness, in fact, she was very nervous just now, because even if she knew that Steward Liu and Mother Li were not good things, they didn't do much to take it seriously, but this pair of old foxes had already eliminated the evidence of the crime after the fact, and she was just talking about it here without evidence, and if she really wanted her to give another example to illustrate, she really couldn't think of it for a while.

Fortunately, Steward Liu coaxed himself.

Liu Dingmao was still soft-hearted, and looked at the dumb aunt again, wanting to leave Steward Liu behind.

"The book business is angry! Misleading the country and the people, harming others and harming oneself!" the dumb aunt was angry and scolded in her stomach.

Fortunately, Liu Wan suddenly came in from under the door curtain, "Since Steward Liu wants to stay, he is still willing to be a rough servant, which is very good, but the compensation promised to you earlier, I'm sorry, we can only take it back." You can go to the firewood room now and get the work. ”

Steward Liu was stunned for a moment and panicked, "No, no, no, I, I, master, the villain still won't stay, the villain goes, just leave." ”

"Sure enough, it's a villain who sees the money! The immediate interests are the root of life!" The dumb aunt laughed secretly in her heart, but she didn't say it, she naturally remembered that killing people was not too much, as long as Steward Liu and his family were successfully cleared out of the gate of Liufu, her goal would be achieved.

Steward Liu untied a large bunch of keys from his waist, handed over the pair of cards, kowtowed to Liu Dingmao, glared at the dumb aunt and Liu Wan fiercely before leaving, and left angrily.

"When he leaves, isn't there a lack of a housekeeper in the house?" Liu Dingmao was worried. These trivial housework, he has a big head when he thinks about it.

"People already have it. The dumb aunt smiled and pointed to the old bell, "Master, look at the candidate I like, is it still suitable?"

Liu Dingmao was stunned for a moment, looked at Lao Zhong, Lao Zhong bent down to thank him, his eyes were smiling, and he had an expression of willingness to accept it.

Liu Dingmao laughed, "Okay, good old clock, I want to hand over this housekeeping to you several times, but you always find excuses to excuse yourself, how can you figure it out now? It seems that my daughter-in-law is very charming, as soon as she comes forward, you will readily agree!"

Lao Zhong bowed, "Master, the old slave said something to rely on the old and sell the old, the old slave lived a lot of age, and when he was young, he began to serve the old man by his side, and he should have taken on more mundane affairs for the old man, but a few years ago, the eldest lady was alive, and if she said something disrespectful to the deceased, the eldest lady's heart master knows, and the people she calls must be loyal to her and listen to her everywhere." I am the master's person, if I become the housekeeper in the house, I will inevitably not be treated by the eldest wife, at that time I had a hard time, I am afraid that even the master will have to eat and hang. So the old slave still follows the old man to be pure. Now the situation is different, it's the turn of Brother Wan to be in charge of the house, the old slave I look happy, our Brother Wan has not only recovered from a sick man to a lively man, Brother Wan's daughter-in-law is also a hard-to-find assertive and capable person in the inner house, she and Brother Wan are bent on governing Liufu, and I will do my best to worry about the old slave. Besides, it's really time for our house to put things in order, and it's really been a mess in the past few years! If this continues, no one will have a good life. ”

After speaking, he bowed again, stepped back and stood, and looked at Liu Dingmao quietly.

Liu Dingmao looked at Aunt Dumb and Liu Wan, and then at Uncle Zhong, with a smile on his face, "Okay, Brother Zhong, are you willing to take on the position of the chief housekeeper, this is great, the outside of this home will be handed over to you, and the inner house will be handed over to Brother Wan's daughter-in-law, I can rest assured." ”

At this time, there was a sudden crying sound at the door.

"I want to see the master—I have been wronged! I have been a housekeeper for all these years, I have been conscientious, I have endured all kinds of hardships, I have been angry everywhere, and I have always worked hard without merit, right? Why did she exempt me from a word from a little child daughter-in-law? I have to meet the master and ask him to comment on the reasoning!"

It was Mama Li's voice.

"Call her in. Liu Dingmao's face was slightly cold.

Mama Li didn't expect to meet the master so easily.

She knelt down, "Master, you can't do this, this is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, I, my old Liu, and Lan Mei, we are all doing our best for the Liu family, the eldest lady always praised us for our loyalty when she was alive, and now she is still cold, you are just the old man left in her hands?

"Take off the pair key and get out. Rush today, it's annoying for such a person to stay for an extra day. There is also that Lanmei's, so let's sell it. Liu Dingmao commanded with a cold face.

There were dozens of people standing at the door, all of whom followed Mama Li to see the excitement, wanting to see how Mama Li, who had deep roots in the majestic eight-sided tree, tore the daughter-in-law of the little boy who didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

Unexpectedly, the master not only did not support Li's mother, but also personally ordered her to be driven away.

Uncle Zhong raised the key and announced aloud to the crowd at the door: "From now on, my old man will be the housekeeper in the house, I will take care of the outside, and the affairs of the inner house will naturally be in charge of Brother Wan's daughter-in-law, as for the position of the housekeeper lady-" Looking back at the dumb aunt and Liu Dingmao, this matter has to be decided by them.

"Let's leave it vacant for now. The dumb aunt looked at Liu Dingmao, "The daughter-in-law needs to be observed and cultivated for a period of time, and then decided when there is a suitable candidate." ”

"It's okay, if you don't have it for a while, it's okay to rather lack it than to overuse it, and you really have to choose a reliable talent. Liu Dingmao nodded.

The dumb aunt smiled slightly, walked to the door, and her eyes swept coldly over everyone's faces, "It's not that my surname Tian has a small amount of energy, and it doesn't allow people, but the eldest lady's bones are not cold, and I am busy cleaning up the old people in her hands, and I am really forced out - aunts and sisters-in-law, you are people who have been in the house for many years, and the situation is naturally more sophisticated than my little daughter-in-law, and the rules are naturally not necessary for me to repeat them again."

I'll just give you an example, and I'll ask you to comment on some people, and I don't care about them. The eldest lady died of illness and settled in the ground, leaving behind Sister Xue is the pearl of the master's palm, and she is the little sister loved by Brother Wan, and I, who is a sister-in-law, have no malice towards her. I only thought that my little sister left her mother so early, it was really unfortunate, the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, so I took on the burden of raising and educating him, and I ate and lived with him from then on, teaching her to learn calligraphy, female popularity and the principles of life. When she grows up in the future, she will become a well-educated girl who understands etiquette and is loved, and she can marry and be a good daughter-in-law who is gentle and frugal with her husband and children, so as not to insult the lintel of our Liu family, and to be worthy of the eldest wife under Jiuquan. ”

Someone in the mother-in-law at the door nodded, and they were convinced again, this little daughter-in-law is indeed not a simple person, don't look at her young age, since she has been the lady in charge of the family, what she has done is that people have to look at it differently. Before I came, Mother Li scolded a lot, saying that it was all the fault of this child daughter-in-law, but now I listen to what others say, and I don't pay attention to it!

The dumb girl's calm eyes showed anger: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. Even if I have good intentions, there are still people who talk behind my back. That's all I don't hear. The problem is that they also ran to Sister Xue to instigate, saying that I am her mother-killing enemy, I will kill Sister Xue, and I want Sister Xue to take revenge. Listen to it, what are these instigators! Sister Xue is a small child, simple-hearted, and has just lost her mother, I finally helped her climb out of the pain, and as soon as you said these words, she fell into pain again. The people who instigated behind it are Mama Li and Lan Mei. Whether other people are still ready to follow suit in the future, I won't delve into it. You just have a fluke mentality and quickly accept it. In the future, if you tell me to catch me, you will not spare it. ”

A few people quietly took a deep breath, and many more were just at a loss, who is so bad, what is this thing called?

Lan Mei cried and fell to the ground: "It's Mama Li, she asked me to do it!"

"Whoever told you to do it, your head grows on your own head. The dumb girl replied lightly. Look at everyone again, "Everyone also knows that it is a troubled time outside. How chaotic it is, it's not like I've never heard of robbers. For a large family like us, there are only two points to live a stable life in troubled times. First, hold a group by yourself, unite closely, everyone is of one mind, don't go out and talk nonsense, don't fight in the nest by yourself, do your own work, don't spread right and wrong, and don't make bad intentions harm others. Second, strengthen security. We are already doing the latter one, and we invite more than a dozen young and reliable men with martial arts to come to the home to ensure everyone's safety. ”

There was a burst of admiration from the crowd, this one is indeed good, and it is related to everyone's safety.

"You're really capable of being a lady in charge—"

"If you are ambitious, you are not old, I think she is stronger than the eldest wife!"

"Brother Wan is blessed, Liufu is blessed, and we all follow suit. ”

……

The dumb aunt listened to these discussions and smiled lightly, "Everyone is not in a hurry to praise me." After a long time, I will see what kind of person I am, and it is not too late to comment slowly in the future. Now, in order to ensure that we are all in one mind, I have to weed out some of the two-minded people who are hiding around us. They are like a cancer, if the day is not clear, we don't want to have a clean life, and no one can guarantee that one day there will be some moths suddenly. The cow woman on the second door, the Aunt Kou who procured it, the Aunt Zhou who managed the rice noodles, and the sister Liu who bought fat powder and oil......"

Every time she pronounced a name, there was a slight commotion in the crowd. Because the people she pointed out are all people who usually get along with Li's mother, they can be regarded as face-saving, relying on Li's mother's support, and they are used to doing some tricks of bullying others, deducting others' weight, and eating and taking cards, especially those low-level mothers-in-law and maids who are pressed below and can hardly see the light of day, have long hated these people.

"Throw them all away. Not a single one is left. The dumb girl ordered with a cold face.

"Sister Li in the kitchen, Aunt Yuan who sprinkled and sweeped, and Aunt Chai in the pulp washing room...... A few of you reuse. ”

The people who were named and reused were stunned for a moment, and then they all brushed out of the row and knelt on the ground, especially Aunt Chai cried and kowtowed; "Little grandma, thank you for trusting me so much, my wife must do a good job." ”

"If you are kicked out, go to the account room to get your monthly statement for this month, I will send half a month more. and your garments, which are not soft, and we will not withhold them. If it is reused, follow me to the corner courtyard, and I will assign the work in detail. ”

For a while, some people cried, some laughed, and there was a lot of commotion.

Liu Dingmao and Old Uncle Zhong gave a thumbs up together behind them, and Liu Wan also felt that his face was very bright.

"Sure enough, he is shrewd and capable, he does not rub sand in his eyes, and he has compassion and does not do things perfectly. Such a woman is in charge, I am very fortunate in Liumen. Liu Dingmao admired.

Before the crowd dispersed, a maid ran in panting: "Little grandma, Wang Qiaoshou is in a hurry!"
