031, Discussion (Plus more collection!) )
Finally climbed up and pasted it ~~~ for recommendation and collection ~~
The garden leans against the main house and passes through several corridors.
The old lady was recuperating on the kang, and Mother Ge was holding it lightly and heavily.
Zhuhua whispered, the old lady nodded, Xia and Li entered the house together, and Xianyun followed.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law has something to help her mother consider." Li's attitude was sincere, and the old lady had just rectified her eldest daughter-in-law, and she was in a good mood, so she motioned for Li to talk.
"In a few days, it will be the Douchai Meeting, this is our big day in Wuzhou, and we must not be sloppy. I just took over the affairs of the family, many things are unfamiliar, my sister-in-law is used to being in charge, and my daughter-in-law thinks that it is more appropriate for my sister-in-law to preside over this time. "Speaking of money directly, the old lady will definitely disagree, and the Li family will retreat as advance.
When the old lady heard this, she was not happy, thinking that Xia was playing tricks, and asked: "Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking about, no one is born to be in charge, your sister-in-law also made a lot of mistakes when she first became the family, you see, now you are doing very well." ”
The old lady avoided the important and trivialized, and was sure that it was the Xia family who wanted to take back the rights of the housemother, and how could the old lady be willing.
Li was anxious: "Mother, you agree, the daughter-in-law really doesn't have the ability to do it well, and the douchai will still ask the sister-in-law to work hard." ”
Li only said that the hairpin would be the same, and did not push away and not be the housewife of the current family, the old lady saw the clue, looked at the two daughters-in-law in front of her, and glanced at Xianyun.
"Wu'er is also here, why don't you come to my grandmother, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it." The old lady was telling lies with a blushing face.
Xianyun replied disgustingly, and smiled appropriately with his age, and said: "I met the eldest aunt and the second aunt on the road, and they quarreled very much, and I missed my grandmother, so I secretly followed, please grandmother don't punish me." Tears welled up in his eyes.
Xianyun pinched the pain by herself, and her body couldn't help but tense, and the old lady immediately thought that the two daughters-in-law must have quarreled too much and scared the child.
The old lady patted Xianyun on the back and said softly: "Don't punish Wu'er, be good, eat some fruit." ”
Mother Ge took Xianyun and brought the fruit plate.
"Let's say, second daughter-in-law, the children have heard that the two of you are quarrelling, if your sister-in-law continues to be in charge, it will be spread in the future, not that my Ge family favors the big house." The old lady's eyes narrowed, staring at Li, and Li was in a cold sweat.
The old lady was suspecting that she was doing this on purpose, and wanted to sit on the identity of the housewife, Li was wronged in her heart, and said: "Mother, this job is the work of the housekeeper that my mother values me and sends it to me, and I should work hard to complete it, now there is no silver at home, and the expenses of the girls in the Douchai Club are not small, and the daughter-in-law has no way to start, so I asked the sister-in-law to help, and the sister-in-law has been a housekeeper, and there is so much silver, where can I conjure up excess silver." ”
The more Li spoke, the more excited he became, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered before.
The old lady looked at Li Shi who was still panting with her head down in surprise, the second daughter-in-law was weak, she didn't like to care, she never dared to talk to her loudly, she had only been in charge for a few days, she dared to do this, and the old lady was very unhappy in her heart.
The old lady naturally knew Xia's personality, snorted coldly in her heart, and asked Xia's: "You have always been in charge of the house before, why did you suddenly lose your money?" "Don't think you can be in charge again with this, the old lady's heart is like a mirror.
Xia had expected to ask like this, after so many years of getting along, the old lady's temper was also clear, and said: "When I handed over to my second brother and daughter-in-law, how much silver was passed through the accounts, and there were five thousand taels at that time, why do you say that there is no money now." I don't believe what the second brother and daughter-in-law said, yesterday, the flower jackets on the second and fourth girls were all new, wasn't this bought with silver? ”
The Li family did buy some clothes for the two daughters for personal gain, and the Xia family brought it up in front of the old lady, and his face couldn't hold it and he was sneering.
The old lady didn't think so, and how much it would cost to buy a few clothes, just when she wanted to ask again, she was intercepted by the Xia family: "Mother, if you want to say that the big place for this silver goes, I'm afraid it's still the school in the family, the second daughter-in-law is really capable, and the children of the Ge family are all studying now, and they are all vying to give the Ge family a fame!" ”
The Ge family was a large family, and the men in the clan would read since childhood, but they would not always be able to read.
School! The old lady was shocked, she was not very comfortable these days, and she didn't want to pay attention to Xia, so she closed her door to recuperate, not wanting to be in the past few days, and the Li family, who had always been worry-free, also made this big basket.
The old lady scolded angrily: "Second daughter-in-law, you can tell me clearly, what's going on in this school?" In the early years, when the old man was alive, he clearly said that the Ge family was not as good as before, and only selected a few good ones to send to the examination to gain fame, why did the old man leave, you left behind! ”
This has already provoked the authority of the old lady, how can she not be angry, she has a headache enough for a Xia family, but she doesn't want to have another unconscious Li family.
Li knew that the old lady was really angry, so she knelt down in fright and cried: "Mother, it didn't cost much money to run a school, and the daughter-in-law knew that there was not much money in the house, so she repaired and repaired some old furniture that she didn't use. The daughter-in-law was confused for a while, thinking that if the children and grandchildren of the Ge family could study, the chances of passing the exam would be greater, so she forgot the ancestral teachings and asked her mother to punish her. ”
The old lady knew that the second room had always thought that her children could also study, and the third room had this opportunity to fit the second room's thoughts, and it was not strange for the Li family to make such an act, but it couldn't be let go so simply: "Although you are kind, but it is indeed against the ancestral teachings, at present, the dou hairpin will be imminent, after dealing with this matter, you will be punished." ”
Li nodded, he was still grateful to the old lady in his heart, at least there was no ban on the school.
Although the old lady ignored the Ge family's money for many years, and heard that there were only five thousand taels of silver, there was no difference in her heart, and the Ge family had already fallen, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
However, the third daughter-in-law has silver, and when the third room was going to join the family, she later agreed, which was also taken into account. Thinking of this, his face softened slightly, and he asked Li: "I heard that there is a jewelry shop in the third room, which can match a set of outfits for the girls, you can discuss this matter with the third daughter-in-law, they are all a family." ”
Li didn't know what the old lady had in mind, she had just become a house, and she already owed a lot of favors to the Quan family, and now she went to ask for jewelry, where did she pull her face: "Mother, these five thousand taels of silver, in addition to the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the uncle in Beijing are one thousand taels, and in addition to the five hundred taels of seeds and wages for next year, there are still three thousand five hundred taels left, and our share of the family money for one year will be four thousand two hundred taels." ”
The implication is that it is not enough to give money to Sanfang jewelry, which is not a good way to solve the problem, it is better to give it and save others from gossiping.
The old lady of the Li family understood that the money could be cut, and it would soon spread out, and the Ge family's face would not be saved, and she asked, "Daughter-in-law, what do you say about this matter?" You have been in charge for so many years, and this is not the first time that the hairpin club has been held. ”
"In the past, the girls were still young, and the Douchai Club went to have fun, but now the girls are older, and they can't be sloppy, according to me, it is reliable to borrow jewelry from the third room, and we don't take it, we will return it in good condition." Xia Shi didn't mention the fact that the money was not enough.
No matter how defeated the Ge family is, there will not be such a little bit of silver left, but at present, the big house is in power, and the Ge family has to rely on the big house to develop, the old lady made up her mind in her heart and said: "What can I do, the money for the share can be solved when the rent is collected." ”
The rent has always been collected by the people of the big house, and the Li family asked early on, at most, there are 1,000 taels, where is there enough for such a large family expenses. The old lady also used to be a housekeeper, and she must know the approximate amount of rent, and now she is obviously biased towards a large house.
Li Shi thought for a while, and realized that even if she brought up this matter now, it would be useless, and she, the master, didn't know how long she could do it, so let's put it off first.
After Li Shi figured it out, he was embarrassed: "Mother, this is not very good, the third brother and daughter-in-law just came back, the cloth shop was sealed some time ago, and I lost a lot of silver, and now I ......"
The old lady interjected unhappily: "What's wrong, it's all a family, there is a difficulty that should support each other, you are thin-skinned, embarrassed to say, just let me, the old woman, tell me, Zhuhua, you go and pass the third daughter-in-law over." ”
Xianyun was in the side hall, he could hear clearly, and he also knew what the old lady had in mind, the Ge family had no silver, and if they wanted to save the face of the Ge family, they wanted to scavenge silver from the third room, jewelry was the first step, if it was successful, wouldn't the third room be squeezed dry in the future.
This matter must not follow their wishes, hurriedly jumped off the rosewood chair of Xiangyun, ran to the old lady with a smile and said, "Grandmother, I will go with me." ”
The old lady nodded in agreement, and Mother Ge continued to pinch the old lady's legs.
Xia Shi glared at Li Shi and motioned for Li Shi to be equinox, Xian Yun was in the right place to see clearly, and looked at Xia Shi coldly.
Xianyun hurried back to discuss with the Quan clan first, and after politely saying goodbye, he ran out as soon as he slipped away, and Zhuhua hurriedly followed.
