Chapter 156: Embarrassed
"Of course it's good, our Xiao family has a female God of Wealth, which is naturally gratifying, but since my younger brothers and sisters have married into our Xiao family, it is naturally mainly based on husbands and children, so it is better to do less things to show up." The Wang family first said what Xiao Jingrui wanted to say, it is not good to be the eldest brother and daughter-in-law to teach the younger brother and daughter-in-law, but it is okay to be the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and no one can say anything.
"Sister-in-law, I manage my own industry, who is in the way, how can it get into the mouth of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it will become a show up, sister-in-law, you are also from a famous family, you can't be jealous of me because of how busy I am because of the marriage because you have less marriage." Zhou Xiya pretended to be aggrieved and said.
"You ......" Wang pointed at Zhou Xiya angrily, who has less dowry, she Wang is also ten miles of red makeup.
"Second brother and sister, don't speak so meanly," Xiao Ruiqing warned.
"Xianggong, am I speaking mean?" Zhou Xiya ignored Xiao Ruiqing, but looked at Xiao Jingqing.
"Mother, please make the decision for your daughter-in-law, I don't know what my daughter-in-law did, my eldest brother and sister-in-law actually reprimanded my daughter-in-law in the tone of being a family, but it was the shop in my dowry that made money, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law have this attitude, do you want me to give the money I earned to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, so that they can give me a good face."
Zhou Xiya deliberately said that Li Mu's property was her dowry, you must know that the woman's dowry is the woman's private property, and the man has no right to use it, unless the woman's resources are used, even if the woman dies in the future, her dowry will be left to the children, and if the in-laws rob the daughter-in-law's dowry, they will be laughed at, ordinary people are like this, not to mention famous nobles.
"You're mistaken. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't mean that, they just have a relationship with you and ask casually. Mrs. Xiao glared at her eldest son, what are these two doing, she can see it these days, this second daughter-in-law is a soft and hard person, she said it ruthlessly, and began to pretend to be innocent, and the eldest daughter-in-law suffered a lot in her hands.
"It's good that it doesn't mean that, otherwise I can't say that my daughter-in-law will take out some of the private money to help my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Big brother and sister-in-law. If you are short of money, tell me, can I, as a younger brother and sister, still watch your life be difficult? Zhou Xiya smiled slightly, but the words she said made Xiao Ruiqing's face look like ink.
"Ahem, how can you use your daughter-in-law's money. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are really short of money. Naturally, I, as a younger brother, will not sit idly by. But there is one thing that I, as a younger brother, still have to say, don't stretch your hand too long. Xiao Jingqing had a warning look on his face, if he dared to provoke them at will. What is waiting for is not such humiliation, in the past, he let his eldest brother have no one he wants to protect, but now he has a wife and children, and he cares about it, he will naturally protect his wife and children.
"Xiao Jingqing......" Xiao Ruiqing started shooting.
"That's enough, I'm not dead yet," Mrs. Xiao glared at her two sons.
"Mother Calm Anger" The four of them stood in a row and knelt on the ground
"Stop being angry, how can I not be angry, you are brothers, I haven't died yet, you start fighting, you want to be angry with me, and the two of you, don't want to dissuade your husband and brother from harmony, but stir up trouble on the side, it's really a scourge, what use do I want a daughter-in-law like you to do, give me back to your mother's house." Mrs. Xiao hated iron and looked at her son and daughter-in-law who were kneeling on the ground.
"The mother is angry, and the daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, so she begs her mother for forgiveness," Wang prostrate on the ground and pleaded guilty.
Zhou Xiya just knelt on the ground and didn't make a sound, she knew that Mrs. Xiao was just shouting, and drove her daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, not saying whether their son would disagree, even Marquis Xiao didn't agree, Mrs. Xiao was just a paper tiger.
"Forgive your sins, how dare I forgive your sins, what are your sins, look at you one by one, do you want to ride on my head, do you know what it means to be brothers, friends and brothers, do you know what it means to be brothers, your father has so many sons, if you brothers do not agree with each other, it will only give outsiders a chance to take advantage of, the Xiao family still wants your brothers to inherit such a big family business, and my mother wants to see that your brothers support each other and realize the grand cause of the Xiao family." Mrs. Xiao looked at her two sons sadly, why couldn't her son understand her hard work, she had known that the two sons were not harmonious, and she had also told them, but she didn't expect that the two couldn't reconcile at all.
Zhou Xiya watched quietly, she understood Mrs. Xiao's heart to be a mother, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the breakdown of the relationship between Xiao Ruiqing and Xiao Jingqing's brothers did not happen today, no matter what the reason, it is not easy to repair, and there is one thing Mrs. Xiao did not expect, since Marquis Xiao has the heart to compete for the world, he will definitely choose the heir to the throne in the future, Xiao Ruiqing is the eldest son and sister-in-law, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince, but Xiao Jingqing is not a mediocre talent, he is better than Xiao Ruiqing, and the fight between their brothers will be more powerful, rather than brothers building walls and centrifugal from morality in the future, it is better to have a good time from the beginning.
"Mother hopes that your brothers will be harmonious," Mrs. Xiao took the hands of the two brothers and shook them together.
"The child obeys his mother's words" Xiao Jingqing and Xiao Ruiqing glanced at each other, and soon separated again, they knew that they were not when they were children, the brother who followed his brother's ass when he was a child, and the brother who played with his younger brother grew up and didn't go back.
"Okay, you guys go down, the two daughters-in-law stay" Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, she saw that the words of the two sons were insincere, just as in front of her, she could show a brother, friend and brother, she would be content, take your time.
Xiao Jingqing and Xiao Ruiqing withdrew.
Mrs. Xiao looked condescendingly at the two daughters-in-law kneeling on the ground, her eyes sharp, "Whether you are new to the door or have been entering the door for several years, I think I am not a bad mother-in-law, but are you good daughters-in-law?" ”
Wang and Zhou Xiya were silent.
"Don't speak, right, I'll answer for you, no, Wang, before you entered the door, my two sons had a very good relationship, but since you entered the door, they have gradually drifted apart, and the relationship is not good, and some are just a matter of face."
"Mother, I ......" Wang wanted to explain something.
"You don't have to explain, I'm telling the truth, I don't want to say what role you played in it, but if you continue to stir up. I can't tolerate you. Mrs. Xiao's tone was stern.
Wang's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and said yes.
"And you......" Mrs. Xiao pointed at Zhou Xiya.
"Although you are new to the Xiao family, my son cares about you, obeys you, protects you everywhere, and even confronts me as a mother for you, I know why you are so hostile to your eldest brother and sister-in-law, but obviously your Zhou family has not taught you what a daughter-in-law should do and what not to do, so in the future, my mother-in-law will teach you the rules, except for morning and dusk. You have to come to me every day and set up a rule for half a day. Until I'm satisfied. Mrs. Xiao made a decision directly.
"Mother" Zhou Xiya panicked, if she was detained by her mother-in-law, what else would she do.
"I can't help you not agree," Mrs. Xiao said undoubtedly.
The corners of Wang's mouth curled, and he looked at Zhou Xiya gloatingly.
"Let's all go down," Mrs. Xiao waved impatiently.
Get out of Madame Shaw. Wang left directly. Zhou Xiya saw Xiao Jingqing waiting outside.
"How. Can your mother reprimand you? ”
"It would be nice if she reprimanded me, but my mother actually asked me to go to her every day to set rules, and it was a headache to think about it. So I don't do anything for a day. Zhou Xiya frowned, she really didn't let her live a good life.
"I'm going to talk to my mother." Xiao Jingqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw his wife as if frost had beaten an eggplant.
"You're still laughing, I'm like this." Zhou Xiya glared at Xiao Jingqing, "Don't go to your mother, my mother is angry, the more you protect me, the more angry she is, it's a big deal to be a little daughter-in-law for a while, maybe my mother will see that I am obedient, and it won't take many days to spare me." Zhou Xiya was deflated, being someone's daughter-in-law is really different from being a girl.
In her mother's house, you can play tricks with your father, but when you get to your in-laws' house, you can only be cautious, and you have to please your in-laws and unite with you, which is really tiring.
"Okay, it just so happens that there are not so many things in winter, I try to go home to accompany you as much as possible, with me by my mother's side, my mother is not too difficult for you." Xiao Jingqing touched Zhou Xiya's coaxing.
"Aren't you busy?" Zhou Xiya knew that Xiao Jingqing had a mansion outside, which was where he usually contacted talented people, and it must be inconvenient in the Xiao family's old mansion, so Xiao Jingqing opened a mansion outside, but unfortunately Xiao Houye did not agree to divide the family, otherwise they would be much freer.
"No matter how busy you are, it's not as important as you, and it's cold, and there are fewer people in my martial arts training ground, but some scholars are discussing the government there, so I won't be in the way for a while." Xiao Jingqing took Zhou Xiya's hand and walked back, they were now like glue, and he was reluctant to part with Zhou Xiya, they all said that the beauty town was a hero's mound, and he now deeply understood this sentence.
"Okay, just tell me about your mother's preferences, so that I can also think of countermeasures to coax her old man" Zhou Xiya smiled with a smile on her face.
"Mother is the most annoying thing about her being old, and besides, this is our mother." Xiao Jingqing corrected Zhou Xiya's words.
"Good, good, our mother"
――――――――――――
"Wow...... I feel that the air outside the house is exceptionally fresh today," Zhou Xiya opened her arms.
"Why, leaving the house makes you so happy?" Xiao Jingqing stood behind her and asked with a smile.
"Of course, I've had enough of my mother's sins these days, I don't know where my mother found such a serious grandmother, I really stared at me without blinking, either learning this rule, or learning that rule, as if I didn't learn no skills, my rules were taught by the best grandmother since I was a child, my grandmother was the palace maid next to the former Queen Mother, how could the rules be bad, but with my mother staring, I can only learn, these days are really like years for me." Zhou Xiya complained bitterly with a bitter face.
"Didn't I already get you out?" Xiao Jingqing looked at her funny.
"This is not my idea, when you tell the identity of Mama Zhou, and Mama Zhou personally demonstrated the rules and etiquette in the palace, and even asked the mother to find the mama, comparing that mama to nothing, the mother's angry face is dark, it is estimated that she was swept away, plus you are here, my mother doesn't want me to appear by her side again to harm her." Thinking of the idea she had in mind, Zhou Xiya smiled.
Mama Zhou is the grandmother who found her from the palace, this rule is first-class and good, and the grandma that Mrs. Xiao is looking for is just serious, in fact, there are not many things in the stomach, where is it so easy to find the best grandma in the south, these grandma were snatched away by the families in the capital as soon as they left the palace.
And the person was brought by Xiao Jingqing, Mrs. Xiao couldn't be angry with his son, she could only sulk herself, and even drove her out of this scourge, Mrs. Xiao can be regarded as seeing it these days, and wants to subdue Zhou Xiya, it's difficult!
"Yes, yes, you are the smartest, but in the future, you can go to your mother to say goodbye, you can be careful, bow your head and coax some mothers, so that your life will be better." Xiao Jingqing reminded that after all, his mother is a housekeeper, and it is still easy for his mother to find some trouble with her daughter-in-law.
"Okay, I know, you said take me out of the house, where are we going?" Zhou Xiya grabbed Xiao Jingqing's arm.
"Go and give winter clothes to the poor, you gave these clothes, and you must see with your own eyes who these clothes are sent to." Xiao Jingqing helped Zhou Xiya into the carriage and got into it himself.
Zhou Xiya nodded, and the carriage headed north.
When I arrived in the slums, I looked at the low earthen houses, dilapidated doors and windows, and the wind leaking everywhere, where could I withstand the severe cold.
Probably because the weather is cold, there are not many people walking outside, such a cold weather, except for people who go out to work, they are all huddled at home, but the temperature inside and outside the house is not much different.
A big yellow dog with flesh and blood ran out, and when he saw so many people, he immediately ran home with his tail between his legs.
Zhou Xiya looked at here, no matter how rich the city is, there is always a place where the poor people at the bottom are gathered, they do the hardest work, take the least money, and have no food.
"Do you know what my wish is?" Xiao Jingqing suddenly asked Zhou Xiya beside him.
Zhou Xiya shook her head
"I hope that the people of the world can eat enough, no longer have no clothes and food, no more wars in the world, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there are fewer such slums in the city, and there are more rich people, no matter what they farm or do, the people can support themselves, there will be no more selling of children and daughters, and there will be no more displacement and loneliness in the year of famine. Xiao Jingqing was not in a very good mood when he looked at this cold house.
"It's a pity that most of the land is now in the hands of the families and wealthy merchants, who wantonly annex the land, so that the people have no land to cultivate, but can only go to work as long-term workers, and more landless people are displaced to the cities, looking for a glimmer of life, how pitiful." Zhou Xiya told the truth, no matter how big her wish was, she couldn't do it without snatching out the things in the hands of the family.
"I know, you and I are from a family, naturally our family development depends on something, it is basically land, I remember that I used to tell my father what I thought, and was reprimanded by my father, in his heart, in fact, the life and death of the people have nothing to do with him, he wants rights, supreme rights, and I have no ability to resist him now." Xiao Jingqing said his heart, sooner or later he will replace him, replace his father, and ask for the people's life. (To be continued.) )
