Without giving Xie Changning a chance to speak, Shen Shu continued, "You don't ask, I'll say it myself." First, I can't tolerate Jiang's mother because of jealousy, what the specific reason, my mother should also know, right?"

"Before I sent my mother to the East Chamber to rest, I only entered the door Jiang's mother went to close the door without care, and when I came back, I knelt in front of my mother and pleaded guilty, saying that I failed to fulfill the wishes of the eldest girl, let my aunt take charge of the house, and did not take care of Sister Hui. I thought that who was in charge of the family should be decided by you, the head of the family, and besides, Sister Hui and Brother Zhen both called me mother, and it was my responsibility to take care of them.

"People, I'm using it, even if it's not used well, it's reasonable to replace it, Jiang's mother made this behavior, I don't replace her too much, right? I didn't want to sell her at the beginning, I gave her a choice, since she thinks that her mother can call the shots, why don't you go back to her mother to serve, I will also hand over the deed to my mother, or I will be the master to sell it." She didn't choose it herself, and I was in charge, so she could only sell it. ”

"If you think I'm doing something wrong and shouldn't treat Mother Jiang like this, then it doesn't matter if you leave her behind, as long as it's not in my yard, I think I still have the freedom to use people, right?"

"I don't know Mother Jiang's situation, how did my mother see that I couldn't tolerate her because I was jealous of my sister? And I didn't allow me to argue with this, so I opened my mouth and called me a hindrance.

Shen Shu is not stupid, knowing that the ancients valued filial piety, even if this filial piety is the so-called foolish filial piety. So when she spoke to Old Madam Shen, even if she refuted, she paid attention to the wording, and her words may be a little straightforward, but she can stand up to a rational word, plus with the words that Old Madam Shen said regardless of it, she can pull Old Man Shen in as a shield, and she will not suffer a big loss in this matter.

When Shen Shu said these words, she also took into account the fact that Mother Jiang might deny it, so after she finished speaking, she paid attention to Mother Jiang's situation, and sure enough, she heard her open her mouth to shout grievances, Shen Shu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, so she interrupted, "Don't be busy denying it, there were only five people in the house before, and my mother's two maids were also there, and it hasn't been long now, how can they remember what you said, you might as well ask them?" But from now on, the two of them have to be separated, and when they are questioned, they have to come one by one, and it's normal for some words to be deviated, but if they don't match at all......"

After Shen Shu said this, Mother Jiang suddenly became dumb, her eyes widened, and the panic on her face appeared little by little.

Seeing this situation, where would Xie Changning suspect that what Shen Shu said was not the truth. As Shen Shu said, the matter of his aunt being in charge of the family is a decision made by him, even if there is something inappropriate, it is by no means something that a subordinate can put his beak on, as for Sister Hui'er's matter, Shen Shu's actions are also in his eyes, and he really can't find anything that is not to come, but these two points are enough for Mother Jiang to drink a pot, not to mention the matter of Old Madam Shen, being a slave, obedience and loyalty are the most basic, even if Old Madam Shen is his mother-in-law, he can't meddle in the affairs of his Xie family!

"Bring people down to me and sell as far away as possible. Xie Changning glanced back at the man's teeth and commanded lightly. He is the head of the family, since he has opened his mouth, this matter is decided, this time Renyazi will no longer shirk, and will nod his head busily. Shen Shu asked someone to take Jiang's mother's deed and put it in the hands of Ren Yazi.

Mother Jiang's whole person seemed to lose all her strength in an instant, and she collapsed to the ground. As the housekeeper's mother who once helped Shen Yu take care of the inner courtyard, she naturally knew what Xie Changning meant by this sentence, the farther she sold, the better, and the farther away the place represents poverty and remoteness, which is a disguised reminder that Yazi should take care of her well.

Mother Jiang felt that the only one who could save her now was Old Madam Shen, but when she looked up, she saw Old Madam Shen looking at her quietly, which meant a threat. She suddenly felt unwilling in her heart, if it weren't for Old Madam Shen's orders, how could she have fallen to this point. However, this unwillingness can only be buried in the bottom of her heart, because she is not alone, her husband and children are still working in the Shen family.

Mother Jiang was taken away by someone's teeth like this, and then Old Madam Shen was also called away by Master Shen, probably because she knew that she was at a loss. Only Shen Shu and Xie Changning were left in the room. After looking at each other with Shen Shu for a moment, he spoke, "Why didn't you talk about Mother Jiang's matter earlier?"

Shen Shu looked away, "Have you given me a chance?" You only listened to her words, and you convicted me in your heart. ”

"Even if she's at fault, it's your mother. Xie Changning knew very well that it was indeed his fault, but he could be soft, but he would not apologize. And Shen Shu is not good at oil and salt, so he had to change his rhetoric.

In this regard, Shen Shu only replied to him with two words, "Hehe." It was supposed to be laughter, but her words were bitten so hard that it always sounded like an inexplicable mockery.

Xie Changning suddenly felt a little wolf, left a sentence of "You have a good rest", and turned to leave.

After he left, Shen Shu asked people to call the stunned Xiaozhu in and cashed in the reward she had said before. After a little venting, Shen Shu felt a little more relaxed, so she asked Xiaozhu whether she wanted a reward for a month's salary, or stayed here to do things. Xiaozhu is not from Shen Shu's yard, because the person who is waiting here knows that the person who wants to sell is Jiang's mother, because of her usual prestige, and thinks that she can't be sold so easily, so no one refuses to call people to come to Yazi, and finally went to the outer courtyard to find Xiaozhu, the rough maid who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping.

Xiaozhu thought about it for a while, and finally chose to ask for a month's salary. In this regard, Shen Shu didn't feel any regrets or puzzles, everyone has their own ambitions, and it is normal for Xiaozhu not to want to stay.

After Shen Shu asked Liuli to give Xiaozhu two months' monthly money, she asked her to take her out.

It was getting late, and after so many bad things this day, Shen Shu was also a little tired, so she turned off the lights early and went to sleep. Early the next morning, Sister Hui brought Brother Zhen over to have dinner with her, Shen Shu excused herself on the grounds of physical discomfort, and will use this excuse to stop serving Mrs. Shen. The latter didn't look for her anymore, and she was safe, so that Shen Shu had a good life for a while.

The second elder of the Shen family left after staying in Xie Mansion for almost half a month, and on the day they left, Shen Shu let his 'illness' heal and sent the second elder away. Old Madam Shen hated very much in her heart, but Shen Shu had a shallow smile on her face throughout the whole process, and the rules and etiquette made people unable to find a little mistake, she could only swallow her anger in her stomach, and under Shen Shu's concerned tone, she put down the carriage curtain and left in the car.

After the second elder of the Shen family left, the Xie Mansion regained its former peace. Xie Changning seemed to have forgotten about letting Shen Shu take charge of the house, and Aunt Zhou didn't come over to bother her anymore. Sister Hui and Brother Zhen come every day, but Shen Shu still can't let go of the prejudice in her heart, and her attitude is inevitably a little alienated.

The book was in Xie Changning's study, and Shen Shu took it back to the house after obtaining his consent, and at the same time borrowed basically unrelated books, making it impossible to guess what she wanted to do.

More than a month has passed in a flash, and during this time, the area around Liuzhou is basically sunny days, and the occasional rain is only showers, and a few drops of it have passed without even soaking the soil. Although there are many rivers and lakes in Liuzhou, they can't hold on to it after working for so long, and the grain in the fields is almost dry.

When the first heavy rain fell, it rained continuously for a day and a night, and most people breathed a sigh of relief. However, there is an old saying that after a great drought, there must be a great flood, and when it rains for two days, three days and four days in a row...... When it didn't stop, everyone was worried again. Although the crops are not squeamish, they can't withstand the flooding.

Because of Shen Shu's reminder, Xie Changning withstood the pressure to let people clean up the river in advance, strengthen the river embankment, and do all kinds of preventive work, when the water level of the rivers and lakes soared in the rainstorm, there were floods in Liuzhou, which broke the embankment and washed away the crops and fields, flooding the houses, only the best situation in the whole state, although some fields and houses were flooded, but the vast majority of them were retained.

Jiangnan is the granary of the Southern Dynasties, and the Liuzhou area also occupies a certain proportion, after the disaster, there were rice grain shops selling grain at the usual price in the early days, and gradually began to increase the price, from one to two times to one or two times, and the growth rate was unbelievably fast. The imperial court quickly issued a ban to stop the price of rice and other materials, and within two days, the merchants claimed that they were out of stock and closed the door directly, as for the real situation, everyone knew in their hearts.

Seeing that the grain for the imperial court to open a warehouse for disaster relief is decreasing day by day, and there is nowhere to spend the money, the disaster situation in Liuzhou is becoming stricter day by day, at this critical juncture, the Shen family, a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly stood up, and after donating a large amount of grain to the imperial court, it was announced that the shops under the Shen family would sell grain at normal prices, and the only restriction was that there was a limit to the goods sold every day, and the quantity of each person was limited.

Today, the saint was overjoyed when he heard the news, praised the Shen family as a good family, and gave him a plaque written by himself, with countless rewards. The Shen family was beautiful for a while. Later, many people followed the example of the Shen family, although they did not receive any more divine rewards, but they formed a good relationship with the local government, and also left a good impression in the hearts of the people, which can be said to be infinitely beneficial.

The general trend is like this, and the people who originally wanted to make a windfall of grain had to reopen the door to do business, and the price did not dare to be too high, for fear that the money would not make much, but they would leave an infamy that could not be washed.

A catastrophe with great destructive power in the previous life has passed, and although there are still people who have lost their lives and destroyed their families, there are many more people who have survived with difficulty.

For ordinary people, the effects of the disaster are gradually passing, but for others, it is just the beginning of the turmoil.
