When Liu's words landed, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and no one dared to say anything. When the hall was boarded, there was no sound, and the needle could be heard.

Seeing that no one responded, Liu Shi only felt majestic, and was proud in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xia Chunchao with tears in his eyes, his face was pale, his hands were twisted with a handkerchief, and he looked weak and ownerless, becoming more and more out of control, and said to Lu Huancheng: "In the past, when you were married to the Xia family, I told you that this merchant's daughter is just not on the table, and she is actuarial. When you marry and enter the door, you don't know how many rights and wrongs you will give birth to, but you don't listen. What is it now, there is such a discord in the house! Such a scourge goblin, if you don't take an early break, what are you waiting for! I bumped into the old lady today, and Ming'er didn't deceive us?! ”

She didn't say a word, Lu Huancheng was already annoyed, and scolded angrily: "Shut up!" Mouthful of nonsense! ”

Although the Liu family and Lu Huancheng are not in love, they have been married for many years, and Lu Huancheng still respects her. In the past, when the family had not yet separated, she had a quarrel with her younger siblings, and Lu Huancheng also had a lot of protection. didn't want to be for his daughter-in-law today, Lu Huancheng scolded himself like this in front of the family, and he was stunned for a while. I only heard Lu Huancheng say in a deep voice: "The old lady is sick, I don't see you serving here, but she runs around and makes trouble, it can be seen that you have been a person all day long!" Now that my mother is seriously ill, I won't reason with you, you go back to your room first. From this day forward, if there is nothing important, do not come out. Since you are so unvirtuous, then close the door and cultivate your woman's virtues! ”

Liu Shi was so embarrassed by this reprimand that her face was flushed, she couldn't stand, and she wanted to reply, but seeing Lu Huancheng's face full of anger, she had always known his temper, and if she wanted to make trouble again, she would only become more and more shameless. At that moment, the Liu family had to endure this breath and turned around to wipe his eyes.

It is true: Whoever can draw the water of the West River is difficult to wash away the shame of the present day.

Lu Huancheng said to Xia Chunchao warmly: "You know that your mother-in-law has always been a little inconsistent in her words and actions, but she may not have this heart. You don't have to go to your heart, just live in a few days. Xia Chunchao lowered his head and whispered: "The daughter-in-law naturally understands that it must be the daughter-in-law who has something to do with her on weekdays, so that the mother-in-law hates it so much." How dare a daughter-in-law blame her mother-in-law? ”

Seeing that she was so submissive, Lu Huancheng was satisfied, nodded and said, "Since the old lady is sick, I am a man, and it is inconvenient to serve in front of the bed." These days, you have worked harder. When Brother Yong comes back, I will naturally thank you. ”

Xia Chunchao listened to his father-in-law's words, and hurriedly replied: "Serving my grandmother is a matter of daughter-in-law's responsibility, dare to say that it is hard?" Lu Huancheng bowed slightly, and stopped talking. At this time, Pauline came out of the inner room and said, "The old lady is awake, please come over." When Lu Huancheng heard this, he immediately stepped forward and entered the inner room, and Baolian also followed.

Xia Chunchao didn't follow because he was not summoned, and went to take a look at Baohe. Because she was beaten, before sending the doctor to go, Xia Chunchao privately instructed her to also watch it for her. Dr. Zhao left a bottle of medicine, and when Xia Chunchao entered, Bao'er was smearing medicine with her. As soon as they saw their grandmother come in, the two maidservants hurriedly got up. Xia Chunchao said: "Just sit down, don't be busy at this time." Bao'er knew her temper, so she pressed Baolian and wiped it for her. Xia Chunchao looked at the side and said, "Mrs. has always been a little impatient, and today is a little unhappy, so after beating you a few times, you will take care of it more." When Bao He heard this, he sobbed again: "I am a subordinate, no matter what my wife does, I dare not complain." Grandma has always treated us very well, and since grandma ordered us, there is nothing to say. When Xia Chunchao heard this, he raised his hand and stroked the top of her head, and said with a warm smile: "Good boy." ”

Over there, Pauline came over and said, "The master is out." When Xia Chunchao heard this, he hurriedly went over again. Lu Huancheng was in the hall, and when he saw her, he didn't have anything else to say, but said: "The old lady has something to say, saying that she doesn't feel anything bad about her, but she is bored and doesn't like many people." There is no need for so many people to serve here, just have Baolian, so let's all disperse. If she has commanded her, she will naturally send Pauline to find you. Seeing this, Xia Chunchao naturally couldn't disobey it, so he said: "Since the old lady has orders, the daughter-in-law will go back first." Then he stood up and said goodbye.

Lu Huancheng was speechless, and Xia Chunchao led Bao'er back to the room.

Back in the room, Zhu'er came up and took off her clothes, Xia Chunchao sat down in the room, Zhu'er handed over a bowl of tea, and asked, "How is the old lady sick?" I listened to the housekeeper's sister-in-law's words, but they were very vague. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled lightly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "The old lady has no disease except for heart disease." Bao'er and Zhu'er glanced at each other, and Bao'er asked, "What does grandma mean, is the old lady pretending to be sick this time?" Xia Chunchao glanced at her and laughed in a low voice: "If you are angry and angry, then there is still a shadow." But when Dr. Zhao said that he had made up for it recently, it was nonsense. Recently, in addition to that cup of peppercorn pork rib soup, where has the old lady eaten other supplements? Although the doctor did not say it explicitly, he was alluding to it. However, fish maw is a warm thing, and it is the most peaceful and suitable. I don't know pharmacology, but I know about it. I want him to be a doctor, but why do you talk so falsely? It must have been the old lady who signaled inside, and when the pulse was checked horizontally and vertically, there was no one except Baolian to serve, and we didn't know what the situation was inside. With that, she picked up the bowl and took a sip.

When Zhu'er heard this, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Could it be ...... The old lady is doing this to avoid the fact that the wife said about taking concubines in the past two days? Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "You're right." After a slight pause, he said, "A few days ago, my wife came to take a concubine, and she was courted for what she said. At that time, she was already approved, but today when the incident of Mrs. smuggling property happened, she changed her mind again. But the change of order will inevitably make people's teeth cold, and the wife is the most chattering temper. The old lady has always had a good reputation, and if she is willing to do this, she will be talked about. It's better to simply get sick and not see anyone, but it will save you a lot of harassment. ”

When Bao'er heard this, she smiled and said, "I said that the old lady cherishes her grandmother on weekdays, but she really refused to follow her wishes." Xia Chunchao sighed: "If this is the case, there will be no fish maw." The old lady is like this, killing two birds with one stone. When Bao'er heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Why did grandma say that?" If this is the case, the old man reprimanded his wife in public and confined her to the room. How could the old lady not hear when she fell asleep in the house, and she did not let anyone come out to say it? Zhu'er's mind was more cautious than this treasure, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "Could it be for fish maw?" Xia Chunchao bowed his head slightly and said: "Yes, listening to Dr. Zhao's words, the old lady's illness is because she is angry, and she is making up for it." Didn't I say bluntly that I and my wife were all about her illness? It's just that the wife is impatient and doesn't have much calculation, so she actually came to the old lady's room in front of the old lady to make a fuss. This matter was unexpected, otherwise I was afraid that I would be listening to the master's reprimand at this moment. After a word, he sighed again: "Sure enough, I made a small amount in front of the old lady this morning, and the old lady saw it in her eyes." ”

Bao'er listened to this words, gritted her teeth and said: "Grandma is so respectful and filial to the old lady on weekdays, but she just doesn't want to take a concubine for the young master, she just treats grandma like this!" Xia Chunchao bowed his head and said silently, and only smiled for a while: "No one has come in to be your second grandmother with you, what are you afraid of?" Bao'er pouted and said, "I'm wronged for my grandmother, who is afraid of this!" We girls are just a call to be served. But what did Grandma owe them all these years? Xia Chunchao said in a deep voice: "That's all, fortunately, now I am in charge of the money in the family, and the family also obeys my orders in everything." I didn't believe how dare they be. Na Zhu'er sighed and said, "I don't know when the young master will come back." ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Sister Lu Hong had told her that Lu Chengyong came home to repair books and will return next month. She was going to ask her mother-in-law about this, but now that something like this has happened at home, the Liu family will definitely not see her. Lu Jia's illness couldn't help out, Sister Lu Hong knew very little, and she didn't know who to tell about it again. At that moment, she had to sigh and sit silently.

Lu Huancheng saw that his mother was fine, so he only sat in the room for a while, and then went to the room with a farewell.

When I entered the room, I saw a broken porcelain, the room was full of mess, it turned out that the Liu family returned, full of resentment, and smashed the utensils in the house, thinking that it was angry.

As soon as he came back, Na Liu's eyes were red, and he sat on the chair and sobbed: "I have been a husband and wife with you for all these years, giving birth to children and eldest daughters, taking care of housework, and serving my in-laws, even if I don't have some credit, I still have some hard work. If you don't miss the kindness of husband and wife, you should also look at the face of your children and leave some affection. Today you are so ruthless, for a little hoof, in front of the whole family, such a reprimand. How do you want me to get out of this door? How do you call those subordinates?! ”

Lu Huancheng felt a little impatient when he saw her splashing, but today's matter was self-conscious and ruthless, so he had to comfort: "That being said, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are arguing like that, I won't persuade you to leave, isn't it really a daughter-in-law who wants to divorce you?" That's the big joke. That's why I told you not to go out these days, so as not to be embarrassed to meet. I advise you to be less angry, it's just not worth it to break your body. ”

Seeing that his words were changing, the Liu family took advantage of the situation and said: "You blame me for one or two, but today's matter, if it wasn't for the Xia family's unvirtuousness, how could it get to such an inextricable point?" According to me, it is better to divorce her early, so as not to be restless in the future, and the family will be in chaos! ”

Lu Huancheng saw that she still didn't give up, and suddenly became impatient, and said: "The daughter-in-law is fine, and there is no big fault, but how can she count it if she is divorced?" If you go out, don't you make the neighbors laugh? Her mother's family may not be willing to give up, and if she starts a lawsuit, it is unknown whether she wins or loses. Losing naturally doesn't do much good, but what if you win? I cut down a cash cow for nothing, and now that this year has become a year, it's easy to find such a relative! I know you're trying to get your niece in, it's a big deal, it's just a big deal, it's worth making such a big deal about. The Zhang family is just a former reputation, but in fact, it is just a broken household. Instead of helping us, we have to help. Brother Yong really begged her, what real benefits can he get? Not to mention, Brother Yong values his daughter-in-law very much. You got rid of her without telling your son, and you don't know how to make trouble when your son comes back! ”。
