Chapter 55: Knocking
Both the old lady and the Wei family knew this very well in their hearts.
Therefore, Wei tried not to touch the bottom limit of the old lady, she only beat and scolded Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Ruyu, Zhao Rurui, and a few aunts and subordinates in the second room. As far as the old lady is concerned, as long as Wei's words and deeds are not too excessive and do not cross the line, the old lady will turn a blind eye to her.
Now that Wei and Xu Xi are in conflict, the old lady knows that Wei is angry and has a short temper. She was very smart not to face the Wei family, but to ask Zhao Yuanliang to speak. lest the temper of the two sides come up and quarrel so that they can't get off the stage, they can't stop the scene, and those who are in a hurry will have to break up.
Everyone was in the house, and after a while, the three of them arrived at the main courtyard.
Zhu is the sister-in-law in charge, and the sister-in-law is like a mother, and there is no need to be too shy about Zhao Yuanliang, the little uncle.
As soon as the three of them arrived, the old lady opened her mouth: "Yuan Liang knows about Sister Xi'er." But your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't know. Ah Jin, you tell Master Hou and Mrs. Hou about the matter. ”
Mama Jin recounted the matter to Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu.
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanxun frowned and looked at Zhao Yuanliang: "Second brother, your back house is restless, and your mother can't be idle." Not to mention the hard work in the past few days, now that Sister Xi has been brought back, I still have to worry about these little things. If that's the case again, I'll have to divide your room. lest your mother always bother for your house. ”
He didn't think the same way as the old lady.
He has been sick since childhood, consciously has a limited lifespan, and has a very light view of prosperity and wealth; Coupled with lack of energy, I don't want to bother to take care of the trivial things of a large family, so I have always advocated dividing the family. If the Hou Mansion is defeated, he just wants to live a leisurely and quiet life for the rest of his life, don't be intrigued and noisy, let the elderly old mother worry, and his wife Zhu will not be free for a while.
As soon as the separation was mentioned, Zhao Yuanliang panicked. He knew that he was incompetent, and he could not take care of his housework well, nor could he suppress his wife. Now I can live a leisurely and good life now, all because of my mother-in-law, eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"Mother, eldest brother, I will discipline the Wei family well, and I will treat Sister Xi well, and I will not let her be wronged." He assured.
The old lady took a sip of tea slowly, put the tea cup on the table, and sneered: "Second brother, you have said many times if you discipline Wei well, right?" ”
Zhao Yuanliang's face suddenly turned red, and it took a long time before he snorted: "Then, what does my mother think about this?" ”
"You are the head of the family in the second room, so you should naturally make up your mind about this matter." The old lady naturally refused to give someone a handle, so she just kicked the ball back to Zhao Yuanliang.
Mother and son have been together for more than 30 years, and Zhao Yuanliang still knows the old lady very well.
He stood up and looked at the old lady deeply: "Mother and eldest brother are in the hall, where is Yuan Liang's turn to be the master?" Everything in the second room is dictated by the mother, eldest brother, and sister-in-law. ”
The old lady shook her head: "If it's a side matter, I'll take care of it." But now that your family is in love, I'm going to stretch out my hand to take care of it, but I asked the Wei family to go outside and say that I separated their mother and daughter, and I became no. ”
She said in a deep voice: "Second child, you have to stand up too." You are so dependent on the Wei family that everything is separated from the family, won't she want to ride on your head? How do you spend your life? Sister Xi'er's matter, you have to make up your mind. Sister Xi told me that she had not been wronged in the Xu family for more than ten years, but when she returned home to see her mother, she was beaten and scolded. Instead of this, she might as well go back to Xu's house again. ”
As she spoke, her eyes narrowed coldly, and her expression became very serious: "I'll put my words here today, if Sister Xi returns to the Xu family, your second room will be separated." I can't afford such a daughter-in-law. ”
"Mother." Zhao Yuanliang was so frightened that he was deeply stunned, "Mother, don't say such things." ”
At this point, he also guessed what the old lady meant. He groaned slightly, and asked tentatively: "Otherwise, I let Sister Xi move outside to live, what does my mother think?" Sister Xi grew up in the city and countryside when she was a child, and there was no one to teach her, and she had to get married again after two years. In the past two years at home, she was put by her mother's side and raised by her mother herself, so that she could marry into her husband's family so that she would not be criticized, and she fell into the reputation of the young lady of the family. ”
"So......," he said with a shy smile, "Mother has to suffer." As he spoke, he took a deep splendor again.
The old lady thought about it for a while, and then nodded reluctantly: "It's okay." ”
She turned her head and looked at the eldest lady: "You go and ask someone to clean up the tea house, and then go to the second room to bring the things prepared for the fifth girl and put them on the table." After a while, the five girls lived in Pinmingju. ”
"Yes." Zhu stood up and responded, and went out to order someone to clean up the tea house.
Pinmingju is not far from the main courtyard, it is a small cross-courtyard, the yard is not big, there are only three rooms in total, it is a "product" word, so it is named Pinmingju. Therefore, although the grandchildren of the Hou Mansion want to live closer to the old lady and gain the favor of the old lady, because there are too few houses for the tea house, the courtyard where they live is not half the size, not to mention the discomfort of living in it, and it is very shameless.
