Xiaoyu came out of her mother's room, and was looking down to think about the chaos in the fifth master's house, when suddenly the wind in front of her eyes flashed a wisp of skirt. Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and said, "I saw you, no matter how fast you hide, it's useless." ”

Zhong Min poked his head out of his room, glanced at Xiaoyu and said, "Go to sleep, I'm tired all day." ”

Xiaoyu looked at her as if she was facing a great enemy, and couldn't help but smile and leaned back: "I have something to ask you." As he spoke, he entered Zhong Min's room. Unexpectedly, the tattooed girl was sitting inside eating tea, and when she came in, she hurriedly stood up and saluted. Xiaoyu waved her hand and smiled: "Sister Wen didn't sleep either?" Sister Zhong, when you went back with my mother this time, do you still remember the separated Wang family you met at the fifth brother's house that year? I don't know how she is doing?"

Zhong Min smiled: "It turns out that you also remember her." But my sister was so young at that time, and she didn't think badly. And now the woman is doing well, and she has two sons and a daughter. Her man was originally alone, but now he has both children and daughters, and he calls her a prosperous husband. I met her when I went back this time, and she was sending vegetables from her field to sell in the restaurant. He looks much thicker than before, and his face is tanned, but his temperament is very refreshing. ”

Xiaoyu nodded and thought secretly: "She can do it, as long as she lives well, she won't be far from coming to their house."

Zhong Min said again: "But the merchant's life is not bad, and the little widow is also a powerful one, she saved money to open a shop, and now the merchant doesn't have to go out to sell goods often." I also went to her to buy needle and thread, white and tender, looking richer than the fourth sister-in-law. ”

"It's their son, who was sent out as an apprentice, and he also came out this year to make a stove in the restaurant. I heard that I was going to marry my daughter-in-law at the end of this year, and both the Wang family and the Chen merchant gave a lot of silver. The married woman's family is also very satisfied, and the dowry is also rich, I heard that the father-in-law wants them to open a small tea shop, restaurant or something. ”

Xiaoyu thought to herself: "Looking at it like this, everyone is doing well, isn't it..."

Zhong Min knew her thoughts, and said with a smile: "If you live wholeheartedly, you can naturally live well." It's the merchant who is often laughed at because he is afraid of his wife. I heard that the daughter-in-law was quite strict, and she kept all the money in her own hands. It's nothing to the in-laws, and I heard their old couple complaining earlier, which Cheng thought, as soon as the daughter-in-law heard this, she came out to make trouble. They have already left a daughter-in-law, and this one has to be patient, and only know the joys and sorrows. ”

Xiaoyu quit Zhong Min, went back to her room, lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep: "I don't look at that Jin'er as a powerful person, even if it's a powerful one, the fifth brother is not an ordinary man, how can he be pinched by her? Listening to what she meant tonight, she had already made up her mind to go back to Yanbei with her mother, as long as she didn't nod, the fifth brother's house, whether it was a flat wife or a concubine, would be unjustifiable. ”

"Unless the fifth brother doesn't go home to live with his mother for the rest of his life, as long as he goes home, the fifth sister-in-law is still the fifth grandmother who is rightfully named, if she refuses, Jin'er can only live outside as an outer room. The fifth elder brother has great ambitions, so wouldn't this be a simple way to give people a handle. Alas, I just don't know how my mother will make a decision tomorrow?" Thinking about it like this, I was a little discouraged: "The shrewd and capable, well-informed fifth brother is like this, I will marry someone in the future, can that person be better than the fifth brother?"

Early the next morning, Xiaoyu sighed at the slightly blue circles in the mirror, and went listlessly to Mrs. Xia's room to eat, but saw Mrs. Xia and the fifth grandmother refreshed, talking and laughing. However, Jin'er darkened her eyes and was still waiting behind Mrs. Xia. The fifth master slept in the study last night, and at this time he also opened the curtain to describe the tiredness and walked in, and after a short pause, he sat next to the fifth grandmother.

The fifth grandmother smiled and said to the fifth master: "I discussed with my mother yesterday, and I will rest for another day today, and I will accompany them to walk around." Wuchang County is well run by you, let me show off with my father. Ming'er left early in the morning, and I returned to Yanbei with them. One is to raise the fetus, and the other is to take a look at Ruchen and Rutao. Qi'er is still young, and her parents are also old, so I used to help my mother take care of the family's affairs. ”

As he was talking, the eighth master also opened the curtain and walked in, and said to the fifth sister-in-law with a smile: "The children are fine, they have been taken care of by the mountains for the past few days, sister-in-law, don't worry." ”

The fifth master groaned: "In the past, when you had your first child, you didn't raise a baby so early, how can you get older, the less courageous you are." You went to Yanbei, what should I do in this inner courtyard? The subordinates also have to move around from time to time, Jin'er is young and ignorant, how to deal with it. ”

Jin'er heard that the fifth grandmother was leaving, and as soon as her face showed a little joy, she heard the fifth grandmother's gentle voice. Although I thought about it last night, I wanted to be a little low, but at this time, I couldn't help but feel astringent, and I couldn't help but glance at the fifth master with a little grievance. The fifth grandmother suddenly sneered: "Jin'er, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Jin'er was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head and shuddered, and the fifth grandmother walked up to her: "What do I ask you? Why are you glaring?"

Xiaoyu was also startled, and thought, "Why is it not the same today as yesterday." ”

Jin'er shrank her head and said, "Jin'er doesn't dare." ”

The fifth grandmother smiled, held her chin and said, "Since you are standing in my yard today, you must abide by my rules." First, you have to remember that as long as I live, you are just a room in the fifth master's house, and I promise you to serve the fifth master, but you Xiao wants to be an aunt? That's a pipe dream. Second, in front of me, you have to keep your head down instead of asking you to look up. If you don't speak, you're going to have to shut me up. When you get out of the fifth master's room, don't look around with that foxy eye, this home is not your unruly place. Do you remember?"

Jin'er trembled with fright, and looked at the fifth master with teary eyes, and as soon as she looked over, the fifth grandmother shook her mouth, and Jin'er's white and tender little face was pulled out of four finger marks: "You have to remember, I am the master of this inner courtyard, do you dare to look at the master again?"

Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the fifth master, and saw that he was holding a teacup and drinking the tea inside, without even lifting his eyelids, his heart shrank, and he secretly thought: "Didn't the fifth brother say yesterday that he would protect Jin'er and prevent her from being bullied? Why did my sister-in-law treat her like this, he didn't even say a word." ”

The fifth grandmother didn't look back, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still want to follow the fifth master and serve him?"

Jin'er's tears fell down, dripping on the hands of the fifth grandmother, the fifth grandmother shook off her hand in disgust, Jin'er hesitated for a moment and raised her head to look at the fifth grandmother, and sobbed quite provocatively: "Jin'er is also willing to be a cow and a horse for the fifth master." ”

Xiaoyu held the teacup, glanced at the fifth master, and saw him nodding and looking at Jin'er with a smile.

Jin'er stopped her tears and became firm again, and the fifth grandmother smiled: "It's rare that you are so affectionate and righteous to the fifth master." ”

Jin'er thought to herself: "As long as I have the favor of the fifth master, it will be a moment and a half, what can I do if I am wronged? The fifth master will only love me even more." ”

Just thinking about it, the fifth grandmother suddenly shouted: "Kneel!"

Jin'er hesitated, but didn't dare to look at the fifth master anymore, and slowly knelt on the ground. The fifth grandmother said: "From now on, your name is Walnut." Qing'er, tell her the rules. ”

Qing'er hurriedly walked over and said: "Grandma and grandpa asked you something, and when you want to reply, remember to call yourself a slave." Grandma if you are in the morning every day, please be safe. I'll teach you the rules slowly, do you remember them?"

Seeing that she didn't reply, Qing'er stretched out her hand and pushed her and said, "Walnut, do you remember?" ”

Jin'er's face turned red, and she was silent for a long time, and the fifth master put the teacup and said: "Jin, walnut, if you change your mind, the master will find you a good family to marry." ”

The tears that Jin'er had just stopped falling again, but they were even more sad than just now, and she muttered after a while: "Remember." ”

Qing'er sighed: "Why are you so stupid, you can't remember this thing." To say that the slave remembers. ”

Jin'er whispered, "The slave remembers." ”

Qing'er said, "Make a louder voice." ”

Jin'er had to say loudly: "The slave remembers!"

The fifth grandmother took out a deed of sale from her arms and threw it over: "You drew the charge first, and you will be my slave from now on." Eighth brother, go get pen and ink for Walnut, she is a literate and hyphenated. ”

Jin'er knelt on the ground and trembled with shame, the fifth grandmother glanced at her, and said to the fifth master: "Master, you see, she is really a hearted child, and she may not be willing to be obedient to be a little low." It's just that our backyard will be indispensable in the future, I heard in Yanbei that it is common for bosses, colleagues and subordinates to give each other maids, and the rules of this first one must be set strictly. Otherwise, a group of girls in the inner courtyard are jealous of each other, which makes people laugh at it, just afraid that the house will be restless. ”

Xiao Yu's eyes straightened, and he thought secretly: "Yesterday, the fifth brother also said that he would let Jin'er be his wife, and he doesn't care why he is a slave now." ”

Seeing that her daughter was puzzled, Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "These are all things that Walnut herself is willing to do, and it doesn't mean that your sister-in-law bullied her." The cow does not drink water, which can force the head. ”

Xiaoyu looked at the fifth master and the fifth grandmother blankly, and thought, "It turns out that it can be like this." It's just that in this way, what kind of love is there between husband and wife?" and thought again: "Yes, the fifth brother has changed his mind, and their husband and wife have long lost the love of husband and wife, if the sister-in-law can take the child away, she will not stay in the Xia family, since she stays, she must protect the foundation of the children." The fifth brother will be indispensable to all kinds of women in the future, and naturally he also wants a capable person to subdue these handmaidens for him. Then the fifth sister-in-law has to come up with means. ”

Mrs. Xia turned her head to Xiaoyu and said, "You see, things in the world are like this, if people insult themselves, people will insult them." You see her being beaten and pitiful, you can't tell, or she is self-deprecating. You have to remember in the future, no matter what happens, don't put yourself in the lowly pile. ”

Jin'er's face turned white when she heard this, and her hand holding the deed of sale trembled violently. At this time, the eighth master took the pen and ink back and put it on the ground. Jin'er took a long time to pick up the pen, and just wanted to look up to see the fifth grandmother, the fifth grandmother stood in front of her, and the wide skirt blocked her vision. R1152
