The sister-in-law is a countryman and has a lot of experience in farming and raising livestock, but she doesn't know anything about the intrigues in the backyard of a large family.

From time to time, the sister-in-law asked some questions about how to control the subordinates and how to manage the family, and Ling'er answered and asked some questions about the Jiang family's past, the eldest brother's behavior and the affairs of Mrs. Jiang.

It's a pity that the sister-in-law doesn't seem to know much about the Jiang family, even if she doesn't know much about her father-in-law Jiang Guosheng's past, and she has only heard a few words about the Jiang family's past, which seems to be of little use.

Ling'er chatted with her sister-in-law for most of the hour, and originally thought that the red-clothed concubine Osmanthus ran out and would invite Mrs. Jiang, but she didn't see Mrs. Jiang come at noon, but she waited for the eldest brother Jiang Guosheng to come back.

Jiang Guosheng strode towards his sister-in-law's house, and before he entered the house, he heard him shout: "Lan Xin!" Lan Xin, where are you? ”

The sister-in-law hurriedly hugged the child and went out: "Xianggong, I'm in this house!" ”

Jiang Guosheng took a few steps over and pulled his sister-in-law and children to take a look, and when he saw that they were fine, he was relieved: "Alas, as soon as I entered the house, I heard that there was an accident in our yard, I thought they were bullying you again, are you okay?" ”

The sister-in-law lowered her head a little shyly: "I'm okay, thanks to my sister's help, otherwise I would have suffered a lot today." ”

Ling'er walked out and smiled at Fufu: "Hello big brother, I'm Xiaobai." ”

Jiang Guosheng was a little surprised, and stared at Ling'er for a long time: "You...... You were the little one who was sent away by your grandmother before she was a month old? ”

Isn't it small? Why does he call me that? Ling'er nodded: "Yes, did the eldest brother watch me being sent away with his own eyes?" ”

Jiang Guosheng's face changed a few times. Coughed dryly: "It's been many years, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

He said this, but the expression on his face was different. Ling'er intuitively felt that he must know very well what happened back then, so very good, it was much more fair and objective to inquire from the mouth of the side than to listen directly to Mrs. Jiang, Ling'er made up her mind to be close to this big brother.

"Big brother, I originally wanted to come to visit you a long time ago, but I just met my father, and I am not familiar with the house. So I haven't come, big brother don't be surprised. ”

The sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say that, we should have come to see you first." ”

The sister-in-law pushed Jiang Guosheng with her arm. He didn't react, and his sister-in-law knew that she was not good at words, so she had to accompany her smiling face, and it was about to be lunchtime. It doesn't seem reasonable to let Ling'er go now. So the sister-in-law left Ling'er for lunch, and Ling'er didn't shirk it, so she responded.

The sister-in-law was still very happy, handed over the child to Jiang Guosheng, and went out to have lunch in person. Ling'er saw her sister-in-law rolling up her sleeves while walking, and said with some surprise: "Big brother, there are so many servants and maids in your yard, do you still want your sister-in-law to cook herself?" ”

Jiang Guosheng's face was not very good-looking. coughed dryly twice, and saw Ling'er looking at it bably. It doesn't seem polite to not answer, "These maids and women are not our people, so they naturally don't listen to us, and Lan Xin is not at ease about what they do." ”

Hearing Jiang Guosheng say this, looking at his expression again, he obviously felt sorry for his sister-in-law, but what happened to those bunch of concubines? Ling'er endured it a few times but couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Guosheng's face was red and white when he heard this, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "They ...... They dangled in front of my door all day long, annoying to watch, but ...... They were sent by my mother, and I can't chase them. ”

"Why not? Big brother, you are the master of this yard, whoever is disobedient will be beaten out, it's useless to keep it anyway, you will only connive at them if you ignore them like this, and as soon as you leave, they will partner up to bully your sister-in-law. When I came today, I happened to see your three concubines and sister-in-law pressing their sister-in-law to the ground......"

Ling'er paid attention to Jiang Guosheng's expression when he spoke, and saw that his face was flushed, but he lowered his head and didn't speak, so that he could go out to do business and collect rent? ! What the hell is going on with this couple? Ling'er is anxious for them.

"Big brother, last time my wife called the gate of my hospital, I forced her to go back, and then I made trouble with my father, she didn't dare to come to the door to find faults, why don't you give it a try?"

Jiang Guosheng looked at her, and then lowered his head: "I'm different from you, my father likes you and my mother naturally likes you, but my father never likes me, and he won't help me." ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment: "How is it possible?" You are his eldest son, who will he help if he doesn't help you? ”

Jiang Guosheng lowered his head and was silent, Ling'er pursed his lips, thinking back to his words, it seemed that there was something in the words, this eldest brother is so honest and not good at words, I don't know what his biological mother looks like? And how can you get a job of doing business and collecting rent? I always feel that something is wrong!

The brother and sister sat for a long time, and the sister-in-law came in with a tray, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and she said embarrassedly: "Sister, your brother doesn't like to talk much, don't mind!" ”

Ling'er smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, eldest brother may not be familiar with me, but eldest brother, if you don't talk all the time, you won't be bullied when you go out to do business and collect rent or something, right?" ”

The sister-in-law didn't smile very well, she put the dishes on the tray on the table, and sighed lightly: "What's the matter, it's not your eldest brother who goes alone, some people who can speak shrewdly are watching, not to mention that the father-in-law is still the lord of the county, and it's too late for them to stammer." ”

Looking at the expressions of the sister-in-law and the eldest brother, Ling'er felt even more strange, according to their meaning, the eldest brother is just a puppet, as long as he follows, in fact, there is someone else who has the idea? Who is that person?

Waiting for the sister-in-law to set the dishes and sit down, Ling'er said: "Hey, sister-in-law, I heard that there is a constant attendant next to the eldest brother, what is it?" His sister is a first-class maid next to his wife, is there such a thing? ”

The sister-in-law looked at the eldest brother hesitantly, and Ling'er sighed helplessly: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law, I helped you so much today, I must have offended my wife and stood on your side, why are you still hiding from me, can I still harm you?" ”

"No, no, that's not what we meant, sister, don't misunderstand." The sister-in-law looked at the eldest brother and sighed lightly: "There is such a person, named Li Liang."

At the beginning, his father was seriously ill and could not pay the son, your eldest brother took pity on them for a while, and did not force them to take ten taels from the money collected for rent, and after coming back, your eldest brother was reprimanded by his in-laws, and his mother-in-law was angry, and directly deducted all the monthly cases for the next month on our big house, alas! ”

"Really? So why did Li Liang become the eldest brother's constant follower again? ”

"Then Li Liang originally said that he came to repay the favor, but your eldest brother thought that his family was not in a good situation, and he could always save him by giving him an errand, so he took him with him. At first, he was quite loyal to your eldest brother, but then he slowly changed his personality for some reason, went over there to report everything, and often used his mother-in-law to suppress your eldest brother.

Alas, your eldest brother is a bad speaker, and now it seems that he is the master, and your eldest brother has become a follower! (To be continued......)
