Chapter 110: Survival is Hard
Mo didn't have the heart to set any more rules and let everyone go down. Before leaving, Aunt Bu glanced at Yueyao.
Yue Yao glanced at Aunt Shangbu and shook her head in her heart, there is no simple one who can survive under Mo's nose. Yue Yao immediately turned her head and followed everyone out of the main room without hesitation. Although she doesn't like the Mo family, she will never get involved in the dispute between wives and concubines in the big house.
Yue Yao saw a lot of fresh potted plants in the corridor and smiled slightly.
Yuehuan's eyes kept following Yueyao's back.
Aunt Su pinched her and said, "Go back quickly." "I don't know what's wrong with this daughter, why she always wants to be good friends with the third girl. Now the third girl is not only as close to her wife, but also has a dislike for her, where does she dare to let her daughter befriend Yueyao.
Mo waited for everyone to go out and smashed the teacup on the table again. She didn't expect that Yueyao not only showed off her wealth in front of everyone, but also said all the money and property in the second room in the public school, which not only slapped her naked, but also slapped the old man's face.
Hua Pozi didn't expect that after the death of the old lady, the three girls seemed to have changed into a different person, as if they had changed from a docile kitten to a dog that could bite people, and the three girls who were not afraid of being embarrassed and not famous were the most worried.
Yue Bing took the water cup from the maid's hand, poured a glass of water and gave it to Mo Shi and said, "Mother, don't be angry, it's already like this, it's useless for you to be angry." Come, take a sip of water first. β
Mo Shi drank half a glass of water, looked at his daughter and said, "How did you teach you on weekdays, didn't you not get involved in these disputes?" Mo didn't want her daughter to get involved in the family dispute, so she just let her watch from the sidelines.
Yue Bing shook her head and said: "Mother, the purpose of the third sister is to get out of the control of her mother, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal." Mother, the third sister has the support of her maternal uncle, and she has to rely on. We have already suffered a big loss last time, and we will definitely have trouble if we screw it this time. Mother, she just follows her what she wants, anyway, the share that should be given is not missing hers, and others can't say anything. On weekdays, Yue Bing watched the little things from the side and kept silent, this time her mother was forced to be like this by Yue Yao, if she didn't help her, she would be her mother's daughter in vain.
Mo Shi held Yue Bing's hand and said, "I originally wanted to...... Forget it, it's impossible. Originally, Mo wanted his daughter to befriend Yueyao, and then set Yueyao's bottom. But today she can see clearly, this girl is a thief, she is very wary of her, and she doesn't believe Yue Bing very much.
Yue Bing frowned and said, "Mother, is what the third sister said true?" If it's true, you have to make everyone present shut up, otherwise it will be a matter of right and wrong to spread it. β
Mo Shi touched Yue Bing's head and said, "Don't worry, my mother has already asked Mother Hua to do things." Bing'er grew up and knew that she was worried about her mother. β
Yue Bing said softly, "You have to grow up." Mother, Mama Wang is really good, if only my mother could invite her back to teach me, I just learned a little from her. β
Mo nodded and said, "Okay." After a while, I invited Mama Wang to come back to teach you. Although her daughter's performance these days is not much different from before, she knows that her daughter has changed a lot, and her daughter is getting better and better. Thinking of this, the anger in Mo's heart also dissipated a lot.
Yue Bing asked suspiciously, "Mother, why is Yue Yao so clear about her grandmother's dowry?" "It's not strange for Yue Yao to know what her parents have done, but it's strange to know so much about her grandmother.
Mo Shi glanced at Yue Bing and said, "You forgot the big girl next to the third girl." "Qiao Lan is the most useful maid by the old lady's side, how can she not know the details of the old lady.
Yue Bing sighed slightly.
Yueying returned to Linglong Courtyard, frowned and said, "The mansion has so many properties and a lot of income, why do you have to cut your expenses by half." "Mo's newly formulated rules, the monthly routine has not been reduced, but half of the people around him are used.
Yueying used to have twelve maids around her, but now it has been reduced to six, and the other people who use it are the same; In the past, there were four dishes and one soup per meal, but now it has been reduced to two dishes and one soup. This equates to a reduction in expenditure of almost half.
Yueying used the best in the old lady's house, but now not only the quality is poor, but the quantity is less, and she doesn't like it very much; I heard that the reduction of expenses was due to the shortage of money in the mansion, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, but now that she knows that the mansion is rich in money, she still has to reduce her expenses, and Yueying is not happy in her heart.
Cai Lan and Cai Qing were outside at the time, and they didn't know what was going on, so they asked, "What is the girl talking about?" What mansion is rich? β
As soon as Yueying opened her mouth to speak, she heard the big girl beside Mo Shi coming over. Ruse sent a lotus-colored Shu brocade and a corresponding needle and thread, Ruse said with a smile: "Mrs. said that two sets of autumn clothes are not enough, but the rules have been set and cannot be changed. β
Yueying didn't react for a while, the vulgar clothes of autumn had already been sent, why did she send fabrics and jewelry.
After Ruse walked away, Yueying looked at the lotus lotus-colored Shu brocade with an extraordinarily dazzling eye, and said, "Put it away." "Yueyao dared to argue with Mo's because she had a reliance; Yueying doesn't have this guts, although her heart is not a taste, she can only see it out of sight and her heart is pure.
When Yuehuan went back, she said sullenly: "Auntie, you shouldn't have helped Madame today." If you do this, the third sister will hate you. "People are reborn daughters who have opened plug-ins, not only know what is going on, but also have money and backers, and it is not good to be an enemy of such a person. Of course, the main thing is that Yuehuan doesn't want to be an enemy of Yueyao.
Aunt Su didn't care if Yueyao would resent her, and said, "Fourth girl, how many times have I told you not to have anything to do with the third girl." The third girl has an uncle as a backer and holds a large amount of money, so she is naturally not afraid of her wife, and we can only live well by relying on her wife. "What if you offend Yueyao, at most the three girls have stumbled on her, and they can't control her life and death. But if they offend Madame, they have no way to live.
Yuehuan was silent, in fact, she had felt that Madame was not a generous person before, and the lipstick made her even more disdainful of Mo. signed a contract with Yu, and a monthly dividend of fifty percent is also a lot of income, and she, the holder, has never received a penny of silver except for fifty taels of silver in the beginning of the month.
Of course, it is not without benefits, the standard of living in their yard has improved, and the things sent over are better than before. In addition, Mohs also rewarded some jewelry and satin, but it was not good to look at.
In the past two months, she told herself that she was not greedy or greedy, and tried to make herself not dissatisfied with Moh. But today's events have refreshed her opinion of Madame; Yuehuan believes that Yueyao is not the kind of person who talks about it, so what Yueyao said is true. Obviously the mansion is rich but it is called poor, saying that it sounds good is thrifty, and saying that it is bad is actually greed, saving more money and putting it in your pocket.
Yuehuan asked tentatively, "Auntie, are we going to be like this forever?" I don't want to be an enemy with the third girl, the third girl is so smart that I don't think my wife can fight her. β
Aunt Su wondered if her daughter had been poisoned by the third girl, and said, "How many times have I told you, why can't you listen to it!" Madame can't fight against the three girls, don't say it, but your sister and brother and I can't escape from Madame's palm. β
Compared with Madame, Yuehuan believes in Yueyao more. At least for so long, Yueyao didn't hurt anyone, and even helped Yueying, who didn't deal with her. From this incident, it can be seen that Yueyao is actually a very kind person, and Madame is not only greedy but also ruthless. Compared with the two, she naturally wanted to stand on the same line with Yueyao.
Yuehuan thought for a long time and said, "Auntie, I don't want to develop those things anymore. She originally wanted to save a little more money to make her life better, but now she can't get the money after spending so much effort, and she is unwilling to do day labor.
Aunt Su said with a resolute attitude: "Fourth girl, Madame has already told me that she will send your brother to study at the academy after a while. Fourth girl, I know what you're thinking, but if you think about it, the food and clothing in our yard during this period of time are all top-notch, and this is all your credit. β
Yuehuan felt a chill in her heart, she didn't know why she felt this way, but looking at Aunt Su's look, she was a little cold in her heart, and said lightly: "Auntie, making lipstick was developed by accident, this kind of thing is unavoidable, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to make something new, I have a headache thinking about this recently." β
Aunt Su said with concern on her face: "Headache? Since when? Why don't you tell your aunt, and your aunt will ask your wife to find a doctor to come and see. β
Yuehuan felt Aunt Su's love, and felt more comfortable and said, "Auntie, I just think about things too much to get a headache, and I'll be fine after resting." β
Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Aunt also hopes that you can make such a thing to help Mrs. make money, your body is more important." Take your time and don't rush. β
Yuehuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Auntie, did Madam really promise to send my younger brother to study at the academy after a while?" Auntie, won't Madame regret it? "She likes Tinglun very much, Tinglun is well-behaved, obedient, and very intelligent. It's just that this intelligence was hidden by Aunt Su and made him pretend to be an ordinary child. But in her selfish heart, Yuehuan still hopes that Tinglun can get the best education.
Aunt Su nodded and said, "Well, Madam agreed, and sent Tinglun to study at the academy next year." Fourth girl, so that I can rest assured. "Aunt Su is also worried that the master will send her son to the clan school, after all, Ting Chao's example is there; Moreover, the gentleman of ethnology is only a showman, and there are not many students of ethnology, and there are less than 20 relatives and friends, and there are few people who study seriously.
Yuehuan looked at Aunt Su's unfolding smile and said in a low voice, "Auntie, when will we be able to make our own decisions?" "Yuehuan started from Aunt Su's kowtow incident, as if her throat had been pinched, which was particularly depressing; Fate is in the hands of others, and life and death are not up to you. She really wanted to get rid of Mo's control, but she couldn't do it.
Aunt Su saw her daughter's bright eyes getting darker and darker, and her heart was also sad; But Aunt Su hid this emotion very well, and Aunt Su said with a smile: "Fourth girl, you will get married in six or seven years, and then you will be able to be the master of your own house." "When a concubine can't hold her head up for the rest of her life, even her children are the same. But as long as the daughter marries, marries into a good family, and becomes the wife of the main house.
Yuehuan thought of getting married, and she smiled bitterly in her heart; She is no longer so naΓ―ve, in ancient times, there was a saying that a daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law for ten years, and getting married was not necessarily good, and said: "Auntie, think about the family that the lady told the eldest sister first. Why was that family vetoed by my grandmother? Auntie, what if my wife also finds me such a family in the future? I'm worried. "She doesn't have a grandmother to protect her, what should she do if Madame is really so ruthless?
Aunt Su's eyes revealed confidence, and she said, "Fourth girl, don't worry, there will be no such thing." Aunt Su saw that there was doubt in Yuehuan's eyes, and she didn't explain too much, but said: "Fourth girl, as long as you stop thinking nonsense and stop doing things that make Mrs. jealous, Mrs. will pick a good family for you." β
Every time Yuehuan looked at Aunt Su's confident expression, she felt a chill in her heart, which meant that Mrs. and Aunt were deeply involved, as if she had been complaining that she was not good at eating and had no nutrition; But after this layoff, it was found that their previous diet was already mediocre.
The deeper Aunt Su became entangled with Madame, the more worried Yuehuan became, she didn't know when Yueyao's revenge sword would fall. My aunt will definitely be involved, what should she do when the time comes, and be an enemy of Yueyao?
Yuehuan muttered to herself, "I really hope to go back." "It's too hard to survive in a society where there are no human rights, no freedom, nothing is there.
Aunt Su vaguely heard the word "go back", and looked at Yuehuanmu's stunned expression, and doubts flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she didn't ask Yuehuan where she wanted to go back.
Yueyao arrived at Lanxi Courtyard, and the mother-in-law from Mafu was waiting in Lanxi Courtyard. After greeting Yueyao, the mother-in-law said: "If the girl lacks anything, just say it, and the young lady said that the girl should not keep everything in her heart, and let us tell you if there is something." "The mother-in-law is really emotional, there is no better uncle in this world than his own master.
Yue Yao said with a smile: "Let my uncle and cousin rest assured, everything is fine here." If I'm really missing something, I'll say it. "There's no need to complain to her uncle, she can still handle these things.
Yueyao handed a letter to her mother-in-law and said, "Please give this letter to your uncle." β
The mother-in-law took the letter and went back.
After Hao's mother and the others left, she said to Yueyao: "Girl, is this inappropriate?" "Yueyao is tantamount to turning her face with Mo's; But if she makes trouble with her wife in front of everyone like this, the girl will not only be not beneficial, but also bad for her reputation.
Yue Yao sneered: "It's definitely not appropriate, tomorrow the mansion will definitely start to say that I disrespect my elders and am arrogant." β
Hao's mother thought about the previous rumors and said, "Girl, if this is the case, the girl's reputation will really be ruined." "First there is the name of the closest relative, and now there are such rumors, the girl will not have to marry in the future.
Yue Yao sneered, "Fame? If I care about my reputation, I will have to be swallowed by Moh's bones. "In her previous life, she kept to herself, but in the end she got to the point where life was worse than death.
Yueyao was hesitating at first, but seeing that the Mo family frequently used some indiscriminate methods against her, and then thinking about her deep-thinking uncle, if she was afraid of her reputation, she would have to restrain her hands and feet, and she couldn't do anything, and in the end, she would definitely end up in her previous life. Reputation is important, but living well is king. People are dead, what's the use of fame? someone protects her and is willing to be a good child who is well-behaved and obedient; Just like when her grandmother was there, she was an obedient and filial child. Now that there is no one to protect her, she has to protect herself.
Hao's mother lowered her head and said after a while: "Girl, I don't understand a little, the girl is also the girl of the Lian family, and the girl's reputation is damaged, and the girl of the Lian family is damaged." What the hell does Madame think? "Even the girls in the mansion are both prosperous and lossy, and the eldest lady is completely harming others and herself by doing this. Rao is Hao's mother is shrewd and can't figure out why Mo Shi did this, doesn't she care about the second girl at all?
Yue Yao chuckled and said, "What does my arrogance have to do with the second sister? I just have a bad temperament, and I haven't done anything bad about immorality. If everyone wants to talk about it, they will only say that my father and mother used to spoil me too much, so I developed such a temperament and got involved with Yue Bing. β
Hao's mother opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything. In fact, she felt that the things that the girl had done had already given people a handle; But she also knows the girl's temperament, and the decisions she makes have no right to be pecked by the people around her.
Yue Yao looked at Hao's mother's demeanor and didn't explain, everyone only thought that Mo was greedy for money, but they didn't know that Mo was greedy and vicious.
Yueyao didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, this was an unsolvable topic, and said, "You sent those maids out." β
Hao's mother replied without hesitation this time: "Okay." β
Qiao Lan registered the things sent by Ma Fu and gave the book to Yueyao for seeing. After reading it, Yue Yao nodded and said, "Hua Bud, Qiao Lan, you tidy up your clothes; In addition, make a list of medicinal herbs and supplements. β
Hua Bud said strangely: "Girl, it's only September, it's still early!" It's not too late to take out the autumn and winter clothes to dry after a while.
Yue Yao didn't explain, and ordered: "Clean up!" β
Hua Bud felt that their girl was getting more and more unfathomable.
Yueyao asked Hao's mother and Hua Bud to stay in the house quietly and think about things after they went down, even then she was still worried that she couldn't protect herself. Yue Yao said in a low voice: "It's really hard to live well. But no matter how difficult it is, she has to live well, not only to live well, but also to let those vicious people go to hell.
As Yueyao expected, it is rumored that it is impossible to say that the things sent by the kitchen are bad, but it is just that the third girl has been educated, and everything she eats must be good and refined, and she also relied on the rich dowry left by her mother, and unscrupulously said that she could afford to eat, and she did not take the elders in her eyes at all. The people in the mansion were saying that Yueyao was arrogant and arrogant.
Hao's mother told Yueyao the news she had gotten. Yue Yao had already guessed it, and said, "If you want to say something, let them go!" "Now the Mo family's housekeeper, the life and death of the people in the mansion are in the hands of the Mo family, except for those who she holds the deed, everyone else is also looking forward to the Mo family's horse.
Hao's mother felt that it was really not a way to go on like this.
Yue Yao chuckled: "Don't worry, if you want to pass it on, you can't lose anything." "Why do you say that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain; Because the villain is small-minded and will retaliate, it makes people afraid of it. And she is determined not to be a gentleman, at least in front of these people, she can't be a gentleman.
Hao's mother sighed heavily, if the old lady knew the girl's current situation, I don't know if she would leave such a sentence before she died.
A sneer crossed the corner of Yue Yao's mouth, and she ordered: "Spread what I said in the main room, not only in the mansion but also outside." Mohs made me carry these reputations, and she didn't want to have another reputation for charity. I don't care, I just don't know if she can bear the consequences. "The bad reputation of the Mo family directly affects the marriage of the children, and it is rumored that when the time comes, the high-ranking families in the capital will definitely weigh one or two.
Hao's mother felt that Yueyao was angry and worthwhile, but looking at Yueyao's expression that she didn't care, but instead went into the study to practice calligraphy, Hao's mother said helplessly: "Yes." Author June Haoxue
