Chapter Ninety-Six: Trade-offs

“…… It was originally a good family......" Second Master Liu said, according to what Master Liu told Second Master Liu that what Haitang said in front of Old Lady Liu at that time was not a lie. There was indeed no one at home, so she came to the capital to look for relatives. As a result, he couldn't find his relatives, so he was abducted and sold by thieves. Begonia was sold into the Qinglou and happened to meet Master Liu. Master Liu bought the begonia and bought a small mansion to settle down.

Master Liu told Master Liu that when Haitang was with her, he was still a Qing person. An unfortunate woman, who has been with him for so many years, also gave birth to a daughter, since things have come to this point, he can't let Begonia mother and daughter have no name and no place.

"The eldest lady has sent people out in private, and the eldest brother has noticed it. Originally, I gave Begonia a registration, but I didn't think about it so much. Now that the family has got the money of the eldest wife, they promised the eldest lady to talk back and tell the story of Begonia's original presence in the Qinglou. Second Master Liu told Second Mrs. Liu, "The eldest brother wants to settle down for Begonia in another way, and this time he wants to find a safe family." ”

"Everything else is handled by the eldest brother, but this family must know the root and be safe, and the eldest lady can't let it know." Second Master Liu continued, "Big brother thought of us. Tell me, there are many Zhuangzi under your name, and your father-in-law also left a lot of people back then, which are all reliable, and they are also places where the eldest wife's hand cannot reach. The meaning of the eldest brother is that he wants to ask us for help,...... You pick a family and settle down for the begonia. ”

Second Master Liu told all the meaning of Master Liu to Second Mrs. Liu.

"The eldest lady invited me just now, but she guessed that the eldest lady would definitely come to me and said a lot of things. If you want me to promise not to help the master. Mrs. Liu said to Mr. Liu.

"You promised?" Second Master Liu asked hurriedly.

"It's not like I promised her." Second Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Ruoxi, "I just said that she was too worried." Then she came over. It just diverted the topic. ”

"I didn't give my eldest brother permission to speak, I only said that I would discuss with you." Second Master Liu nodded. said, "The eldest brother said that it should be done as soon as possible, and he was afraid that the eldest lady would have a seizure immediately." Everything is ready, you just need to choose a safe household. ”

"What's in your mind?" Second Master Liu asked Second Mrs. Liu.

……

At this moment, Mrs. Liu is in the room. Mrs. Liu was still on the couch, half-lying and half-lying on the pillow, and Mrs. Liu/Grandma came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge and served Mrs. Liu to eat slowly.

"What my wife said, but she agreed?" Grandma Liu Da/Grandma looked at Mrs. Liu Da's face. Asked cautiously.

"I was overwhelmed by the three girls, and I disturbed the conversation." Mrs. Liu ate the bird's nest porridge, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said slowly, "It's not very accurate. However, she also agreed. ”

"Isn't that not completely sure?" Liu Da/Grandma couldn't help but say.

"The second wife is a little different from before," said Mrs. Liu, "if it was before, there would be no need to say too much. She was sure to come down on the spot. …… It's out of our hearts. …… Originally, the family was fine, how did it get to this point! ”

Mrs. Liu frowned, very sad.

"It's not because of the third wife's troublemaker!" Yoo-dae/Grandma also frowned.

"You're right," Mrs. Liu agreed. "When she didn't come back, everything was fine. But she came back, stirring up the wind and rain everywhere. There is not a moment of peace. What a broom star! ”

Mrs. Liu vented her anger at Mrs. Liu San, and then turned the topic to Mrs. Liu Er.

She didn't respond directly. But if I count her, I definitely won't help that slut. Mrs. Liu squinted.

"How so?" Liuda/Grandma asked.

"The second wife. is a scholarly family, raised by her like a boy, and the books she has read since childhood are the same as men. …… Raised with pride. She probably doesn't think it herself. Seeing that she is an old lady in everything, she doesn't care about money at all, but why doesn't the old lady treat her very well? …… Stuffing people around the second master, that's later. As soon as she entered, the old lady looked at her. ”

"Not because of anything else, but because of the arrogance in her. She doesn't take everything to heart because she doesn't pay attention to it at all. Those things and things, in the eyes of ordinary people, are all good things, which are difficult to find, and even more difficult to give up. If she's like this, people won't appreciate her, and they will hate her......"

Grandma Liu listened carefully to Mrs. Liu's words and nodded her head along with her. Although she doesn't understand it very well, she also has that feeling about Mrs. Liu.

"Such an arrogant person is actually the easiest to deal with. I stopped her in a few words. She's not going to help that slut. Mrs. Liu finally said with some smugness.

"It's still my wife, if you want to be me, you don't have such ability." Liu Da/Grandma laughed and flattered.

Mrs. Liu smiled, and then asked Mrs. Liu/Grandma as if unintentionally.

"The eldest master has hidden it from us so hard, I only think he is a person with a heart, and he has been deceived too!"

"Da Lang, can you have a letter back? When are you coming home? There are a lot of things for him to do, but he is going out of the city at this juncture. He is in the yamen, but he is just a little bit of a man, when did he send him such an errand? ”

……

Second Master Liu asked Second Mrs. Liu what she thought, and Second Mrs. Liu didn't speak for a long time. Liu Ruoxi saw it on the side, so she guessed a few points about the thoughts of Second Mrs. Liu.

Now, about the begonia, Liu Ruoxi has completely remembered it. In her previous life, Mrs. Liu didn't find out about Begonia so early, but she only knew some shadows. Master Liu planned to arrange Begonia into the house. Regarding the matter of the begonia's registration, Master Liu found Second Master Liu and asked Second Mrs. Liu for help. At that time, Mrs. Liu was hindered by Mrs. Liu's affection, and felt that Haitang was a lowly woman, as the second wife of the Liu family, she had to stand on Mrs. Liu's side for everything, and there was no reason to help a lowly woman she didn't know.

In this matter, Mrs. Liu dragged it out and didn't do it for Master Liu.

Mrs. Liu later didn't know what means she used, and Begonia and Chan'er were nowhere to be found. Later, after Liu Yujiang, Master Liu came to intercede with Second Master Liu, and Second Master Liu agreed.

"Mother, you're not helping that begonia, you're helping your uncle." Liu Ruoxi persuaded the second Mrs. Liu, "I don't know what the eldest lady said to her mother, don't be too honest." What she said was all for her own sake, and she wanted to force her mother to agree to her request. ”

"That's what you said." Mrs. Liu said.

"Mother, I helped my uncle this time, and my uncle owes us a favor." Liu Ruoxi simply said again, "Father, mother, have you thought about it, when we propose to pass Brother Wen, the third uncle and the third aunt will help us speak, but the uncle may not be." ”

"If the uncle can also help us talk, then the old lady will be better at that level, right?"

It's just a trivial matter to arrange for a family to settle down for Begonia, which is a small matter in Mrs. Liu. But such a trivial matter gave Master Liu a big favor. It was precisely because he couldn't find any other reliable way that he would find Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu. With this favor, when it comes to their stepchildren, they can make Master Liu stand on their side. Instead of pushing Master Liu further to the side of Mrs. Liu and Liu Yujiang like in his previous life.

Such a thing, why don't they do it. Not only to do it, but to do it well. I want to give Master Liu a whole favor.

In her previous life, Mrs. Liu recognized the thief as a friend because of some insistence. This is also a large part of the reason why they are so isolated in the end.

"Mother, don't you want to be Shun Shun's younger brother?" Liu Ruoxi asked Second Mrs. Liu, "Besides, you helped with this, Chan'er also has an identity." If you don't help, the little girl will be kicked out of the house. At that time, it is difficult to say whether she will live or die. ”

Liu Ruoxi's words finally moved Mrs. Liu.

"Okay, let's help with this." Second Mrs. Liu nodded.

"Okay." Second Master Liu also said that it was good, in fact, he wanted to help the eldest master very much, but he took into account the mood of Second Mrs. Liu, so he did not accept it immediately. After all, the matter of raising an outer room is also quite sensitive for Mrs. Liu.

Since you have decided to help Master Liu, you must arrange things properly.

"The eldest lady will not let it go easily, and she may have to bring someone to confront her when the time comes." Liu Ruoxi said, so this family must be in order in all aspects.

"Mother has a good candidate in her heart?" Liu Ruoji asked Mrs. Liu.

"I'll have to call a few bankers to ask." Mrs. Liu said.

"It's better to stay away from the city." Second Master Liu reminded Second Mrs. Liu.

"That's the two Zhuangzi of Qingxi and Wolf Mountain." Mrs. Liu Er thought about it for a while, and then said, "I'll order someone to call the head of the village to come up." ”

"Mother, instead of calling someone up, it's better to go in person. It's better to see people in person, it's safer. Uncle knows, and he also misses his father and mother. …… I'll go with my mother. Liu Ruoxi proposed.

"It's fine." Second Mrs. Liu nodded, in general, Second Mrs. Liu was happy to follow Liu Ruoxi. She nodded so quickly, partly because she thought of Liu Ruoxi. Mrs. Liu Er thought that Liu Ruoxi was bored at home, and she wanted to take the opportunity to go shopping in Zhuangzi. "I have to talk to the old lady."

"I'll let you go." Second Master Liu said, "By the way, I will also tell the eldest brother so that he can feel at ease." ”

After the family discussed it, they went to Mrs. Liu's yard. (To be continued......)
