Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi both heard the noise coming from the courtyard next door, mixed with a woman's scolding and a child's cry. Mrs. Liu frowned slightly.

"You live next door, or is it the one you moved from Jingzhou four years ago?" The second Mrs. Liu asked the rich daughter-in-law again.

"It's his house." The rich daughter-in-law hurriedly replied.

"Mother, whose house is it?" Liu Ruoxi also asked.

"It's no wonder you don't know ......"

Mrs. Liu told Liu Ruoxi that Mama Chang lived in the courtyard next door, and she was still a member of the Liu family, who moved from Jingzhou, the hometown of the Liu family, four years ago and defected to Mrs. Liu. The owner of this family, called Liu Yufeng, is a nephew of Mrs. Liu. When he first moved here, he was a family of eight, and there was a woman he married, a son born to this woman, and then an eldest son whom he left behind.

This eldest son, named Liu Yubo, had already married his wife Ma and had three children.

When the family moved in, there was nothing. It's also because I can't live in my hometown that I want to come to my relatives. It was Mrs. Liu who gave them the house, gave them the funds to settle down, and found errands for Liu Yufeng's father and son. The family lived in the capital.

Who would have thought that there would be unforeseen circumstances in the sky. In less than two years, Liu Yufeng fell ill and passed away. Another year passed, and the woman he remarried also died. The couple was sick and had a funeral, and the Liu family also funded the cooking.

"It's also a family of students, why is it not like this?" Mrs. Liu said.

"Mrs. doesn't know yet," the rich daughter-in-law said with a smile, "that big/grandma has added another child this year." Originally, relying on the help from the house and the income of the eldest / master, the family could barely get by. Who would have thought, the eldest / master lost the errand again, and the house will no longer help them. This day is unbearable, noisy all day long. ”

"But I just hate her uncle." Ping'an's daughter-in-law continued, "That grandma is not a kind person, she used to be able to live and survive." Now, the money is tight, and the uncle who watched the competition with the enemy did not give him food, nor did he wear clothes, but only called as a small servant. ”

"That's it, I still think he occupies a place, and I beat and scold him at every turn......" The rich daughter-in-law said again.

"That kid, is it called Liu Yuwen? I remember when I first came to the capital, my family went to the house, and I met them once. At that time, the child was only five or six years old. ”

"My wife remembers it well." Mama Chang said, "That's the name, I'm ten years old this year." ”

Hearing what they said, Liu Ruoxi also had some impressions, there was indeed such a family who came to defect, and often went to the house to have convulsions. After Mrs. Liu passed away, the Liu family still took care of them, but it was somewhat inferior to Mrs. Liu's living situation. After the wife of the Liu family remarried was gone, the old lady of the Liu family and Mrs. Liu didn't look down on this grandmother, and they gave less and less money.

She remembered that she once overheard a girl in a courtyard say that the eldest / grandmother had somehow offended Mrs. Liu, and she completely cut off the help during the Chinese New Year.

"This little child, I remember hearing my father mention it, didn't he study in a private school, and he still studied very well?" Liu Ruoxi said.

"That's all in the past." Mama Chang said, "Girl, you don't know the difficulties of ordinary people, and it costs money to study." After his mother was gone, he came back from the private school. ”

Also, Liu Ruoxi nodded, she was not even willing to give food and clothing, how could she be willing to spend money on this child to study.

This time, the eldest girl has gone out and found her younger brother Shuangxi back, and the two children kowtow to Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi. The eldest girl told her that Double Happiness had just gone to play next door.

"You know what's the reason for the quarrel over there?" The rich daughter-in-law saw that Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi seemed to be a little concerned about the family next door, so she asked Shuangxi.

"I know." Shuangxi is only eight years old, with a long tiger head and tiger brain, a pair of big eyes and a pair of big eyes, and he speaks very cleverly. It turned out that it was the eldest grandmother over there who asked the younger uncle Liu Yuwen to take care of a few children, but the youngest peed and cried, and the eldest grandmother said that Liu Yuwen was not taking care of it wholeheartedly and scolded. Then the second youngest child began to cry.

"Let a ten-year-old child take care of three or four children, including a milk doll, which is an adult, how can he take care of it." Mrs. Liu Er is extremely compassionate, "Besides, it's normal for a milk doll to pee." Even if her mother takes care of it, there is no way to do it. ”

Chang Mama, the rich daughter-in-law and the peaceful daughter-in-law all nodded with deep understanding.

"The eldest / master next door, not at home? His daughter-in-law is like this, and he doesn't care? Mrs. Liu asked again.

"Whatever, it's a man who doesn't care about anything, and listens to his daughter-in-law in everything. For his brother, it is a face-saving feeling. Mama Chang sighed.

Mrs. Liu Er is very compassionate, and she doesn't just fall on words, she tells her rich daughter-in-law.

“…… Go over there and tell them to stop making noise. Let that eldest / master and his brother come over, I have something to say. ”

The rich daughter-in-law took the order and went out busily.

"Mother, what are you going to do?" Liu Ruoxi asked Mrs. Liu.

"I'll take a look at ...... first," said Mrs. Liu.

Liu Ruoxi smiled, she still knew about Mrs. Liu's temper. Mrs. Liu must not be able to stand it, and wants to help the family.

"Our carriage and horses are coming, and the movement is not small. She lives next door, so she doesn't know who's coming. But whoever knows something, even if there is something, let him suppress it first. When we were there, she was noisy and yelling, didn't she know that your mother was kind, and the eldest lady had cut off the way and wanted her mother to help her? Liu Ruoxi said.

"Such a disgusting person, what am I going to do with her?" Mrs. Liu said this, but her expression and tone were not so sure.

"Mother, you will definitely not help because of her, but Mother must not be able to look at that child." Liu Ruoxi said.

"That big/master can't be mentioned, and that big/grandma, if you want to say it, she also has a bit of unsavory scheming, she doesn't like what she says and does, and her temperament is not good. They came here, and none of the neighbors said she was good. Chang Mama said.

At this time, the rich daughter-in-law had already led the people back. This rich daughter-in-law was adjusted/taught by Mama Chang, and she has served in the courtyard of Mrs. Liu for so many years, and she has a lot of rules in doing things. She brought someone in, but she only asked people to wait outside, and she went in to talk back.

“…… The slave and maid went, and came as soon as they called. said that only the eldest / grandfather brothers would come, but the eldest / grandmother still refused. He refused to let the little child come, but took the eldest with him and brought some of her children. …… The slave maid stopped her,...... I didn't bring any children, so I came with the eldest / master and her uncle. The rich daughter-in-law replied in a low voice.

Liu Ruoxi nodded secretly, Mama Chang is a reliable person, and the people she has adjusted/trained are also good.

"Since they're here, let them all in. I also want to see what kind of person this Ma's grandmother is. Mrs. Liu thought about it and said.

When the rich daughter-in-law went out, she led three men in.

Liu Ruoxi sat next to Mrs. Liu, carefully looking at the family of three. She looked at Ma first, Ma was a woman with a thin face, with a few pockmarks on her face, and she was also born with a slender body and a shrewd face. Seeing that Ma was wearing homely clothes, which were not very clean, I thought that he came over without changing his clothes. Liu Ruoxi glanced at Ma a few times, and then turned her gaze to the two brothers.

Liu Yubo is also a long figure, white skin, wearing a long robe, a little shrunken.

Liu Ruoxi went to see the child who came with the two again.

She now remembered that when this family first entered Beijing, she had met once in Mrs. Liu's courtyard, but she was not impressed. Looking at Liu Yuwen now, he is not short, but he is pitifully thin, and the clothes he wears do not fit, obviously the old clothes in the past, which are already small. Looking at his face again, his eyebrows are clear and beautiful, but unfortunately his face is vegetable, and his chin is thin and pointy, which can almost poke people.

The three of them came in and saluted Mrs. Liu, Liu Yuwen was quiet, saluted, and stood aside, Liu Yubo didn't speak, Ma grabbed Liu Yubo Shen Qian, babbling, and was close to Mrs. Liu.

“…… Listen to the noise in your yard. Mrs. Liu ignored Ma's and only talked to Liu Yubo, "You, a little brother, were misestimated at an early age, and as an elder brother, you should take good care of him." How can you let others grind him, and still treat him as a brother? ”

Liu Yubo's face was embarrassed, and before he could speak, Ma on the side had already preemptively called Qu.

"The second wife should not believe the nonsense of others and wronged good people. We love this brother like a son. It's just a child's home, and you can't do it if you don't teach. is really a poor clank in the family, and if you want to dress him in gold and silver, you can't. The second wife hasn't seen it yet, and my own children are called pitiful......"

Liu Ruoxi only listened to two sentences, and knew that the Ma family in front of her was an unreasonable shrew. Liu Ruoxi was too lazy to listen to Ma's words, so she gave the rich daughter-in-law a look.

"Grandma, wait," the rich daughter-in-law said busily, "Our wife is talking to grandma, grandma is like this, it's rude." Our wife is soft and doesn't say anything, and the big/grandma herself is not ashamed! Big/Grandma speaks, but also has a conscience. It's not that I said, this shallow door and narrow household, big/grandma's yard, who doesn't know that. Still trying to fool our wife? ”

The rich daughter-in-law is also a neat mouth, Liu Ruoxi nodded approvingly.

Usually, Mrs. Liu also asks the people in front of her to be peaceful and docile, but the rich daughter-in-law has such a personality, and today I saw that Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi both came to see her mother-in-law, which was relying on favor, and seeing that Liu Ruoxi was not like usual, she was like this, and I am afraid she would not be reprimanded. When she saw Liu Ruoxi smiling, the rich daughter-in-law knew that she had done the right thing.

Liu Ruoxi has other plans, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu are both good/temperamental. It's okay in good times, but it's not the same situation at home. At this time, it is necessary to cultivate a few capable and spicy people around you.
