Chapter Seventy-One: Exposed
Mrs. Li immediately did as Aunt Chen said. It is not for nothing that she values Aunt Chen. Acting outside, Aunt Chen will never be criticized. And avoiding outsiders, Aunt Chen is very close to her. This made her feel very comfortable in her heart.
After the two left, Aunt Chen hurriedly asked Mrs. Li: "Mother, I'm not greedy for that silver, I'm just curious, how much silver did Miss San earn in May, there are always one hundred taels, right?" I heard the Wu family in the next room say that the braised pork recipe plus two cake recipes is a lot of money. β
Old Mrs. Li snorted: "Where are there so many, after getting the silver, the troublemaker also gave the official thirty taels of silver, and I only have fifty taels left in my hand." You have a spectrum in your heart, but don't talk about it! That Wu family is not a good thing, any money always wants to be drawn to her house, and her nephew doesn't care! β
Aunt Chen had her mouth half-open, her face puzzled, and she was speechless for a long time. On that day, Li Yao and Han Jin came back from the restaurant to find Han, and she heard the words of several people at that time mean that the silver earned is not only sixty taels.
On that day, everyone thought that Li Yao sold for sixty taels. Of these, thirty taels were given to the official errand, and thirty taels were given to the old lady. Now the old lady also said that it was not sixty taels, but eighty taels, so why did this bit of silver make Han Jin and the others ecstatic?
Seeing that she was stunned, Mrs. Li was puzzled and asked, "Why do you have such an expression?" β
Aunt Chen organized the language, and then told Mrs. Li about the events of that day and her own questions. She knew that she didn't need to add fuel to her words, she just said the facts of the day. The rest, Mrs. Li will figure it out.
β¦β¦
For Ji Moxuan's ears, Li Yao was worried. Although she didn't mean it, a normal person lost an ear because of her, and she couldn't feel at ease. Ji Moxuan did it first, she was not wrong in this matter, but she accidentally hit the other party's ear and caused the other party to be deaf, that was her fault.
Han is also worried. She asked her nephew Han Jin carefully, but the nephew didn't pay attention to the situation of his neighbor, so she couldn't inquire about anything.
In this worried mood, the mother and daughter made dinner casually. Later, Aunt Liao and Aunt Sun came to help, Li Yao was not good at cutting vegetables because of wrist pain, and the two helped a lot. Boiled mushroom and green vegetable porridge, the hot dish is the braised pork left over at noon with pumpkin stew and stir-fried fat sausage, the cold dish is shredded with cabbage and the mushrooms blanched in hot water, and the rest of the dish is salted eggs cut and put on a plate, and then the staple food is steamed rice.
At this time, the Han mother and daughter didn't know that Aunt Chen not only stumbled on Mrs. Li, but also revealed the tip of the iceberg the real income that Li Yao had worked so hard to hide.
After the meal was cooked, Han asked the two aunts to send food to the official messenger first, and then took the meal to the house where they slept. The mother and daughter hadn't gone in to ask someone to go to the back kitchen to serve food, but they heard such words.
"Old man Li, A-Yao, you have to take care of that child, this is lying and cautious, and he likes to slander others at will, this has an unbelievable pungent temperament, I have never seen such a bad little girl in the past!"
King Kang's family's resentment against Li Yao couldn't be suppressed no matter what, so during her absence, Princess Kang said that she was useless.
Because of her daughter's broken hand, coupled with Li Yao's "slander" against her daughter, Wu also began to talk about Li Yao's badness: "This child is small-minded and jealous, how can he say goodbye in the future?" β
Mrs. Li doesn't like her granddaughter, but she also knows how to protect her family outside. But she is angry that her granddaughter is hiding her income from selling her son. So she didn't refute anything, and she was thinking about how to ask her granddaughter for money!
Although Li Mingqing is romantic, he feels sorry for his children, and in order to protect his daughter, he doesn't care about what men don't quarrel with women at this time.
Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't speak, he said dissatisfiedly: "I can see that you are jealous of my family's Ah Yao's tea and rice skills, this is what you want to use this matter to let Ah Yao say nothing in the future and let you wait to send you at will, right?" What a sinister intention! This is good, why did A-Yao do it to the little county king, why didn't you say it? I don't know if the jealousy between these children is not jealous, I just know that my family Ayao didn't like to talk at first, and her temperament was also docile, and then after she fell seriously ill, although she was cheerful, she didn't casually say that others were not good, and fought for the benefits of that tongue. What kind of good character is a woman who talks about others behind her back, makes a tongue, and ruins the reputation of others? β
As soon as Ji Runshu had an incident earlier, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and when he spoke, the previous dissatisfaction was also brought out.
Li Mingqing is worthy of being a good gene for the son of Yushi, and when he said this, he caught the other party's inappropriateness word by word, and gave his daughter a confession.
The county lord of Jingning reluctantly joined the battle: "When I was on a youth tour in Kyoto first, A-Yao's temperament of liaring and revenge for personal grudges was undoubtedly revealed. What my mother said is well-founded, and the uncle of the Li family should not distort the facts at will and accuse us of sinister intentions. Why did Ah Yao bully Ah Yao with personal grudges and let Ah Yao cut his hands, why didn't you make it clear here Uncle Li? My third brother will do something to Ah Yao for no reason, who would believe it! β
At this time, Fu Jingheng realized that what he said to his younger brothers and sisters had already spread. For a while, he was at ease. Even if Li Yao has something wrong with her temperament, she has helped the Fu family and is kind to the Fu family. It was right to warn his younger brothers and sisters, but when the words spread, it would hinder Li Yao's reputation, and this was his fault.
He was worried about his grandmother in his heart, and he had always been willing to protect his fiancΓ©e, so at this time, his face was tense, but his heart was a little empty, and he didn't know how to deal with this kind of scene.
As if in response to his thoughts, his other two cousins were also talking.
Fu Jingzhen was saying to Fu Jinglin with disapproval on his face: "What are you worried about, didn't Brother Jing Heng also say that one yard is one yard?" Even if Miss Li San helped us, she should let everyone know about her bad character, so that everyone can be deceived by her in the future. β
Fu Jinglin retorted with reason: "Jingzhen, that's not what I said. The cousin of the Han family also said that it was the little county king who did it first, didn't you see that Sister Ayao's wrists were bruised and swollen? β
Fu Jingzhen rolled her eyes and asked her cousin, "What about Sister Ayu's cut hand?" β
"Didn't Sister Ah Ying say that her hand was accidentally cut by herself?"
Fu Jingzhen retorted unconvinced: "Who knows if what Sister Ah Ying said is true, I can't say that Sister Ah Ying is afraid of causing disputes and offending the fat man, so she said so." Sister Ah Jin's kind temperament wants to ask the fat man to cook something delicious for her grandmother and Miao'er, what's wrong with this? After all, now the fat man's tea and rice skills are better. Even if the fat people don't cook, the ones who can cook here are their daughters. β
Because of this series of accidents, Fu Jingzhen also called Li Yao a fat man unceremoniously and impolitely. And she also thinks of Li Ying as very high-spirited. Because she herself is familiar with Li Jin, she subjectively thinks that Li Ying is not wrong and is biased, but she doesn't feel this at all.
Outside, Li Yao heard all these words in his ears. She is not a person who loves trouble, and she doesn't cause trouble in vain, but now how does she think that this is the rhythm of the criticism meeting against her?
