Chapter 21 Reckoning

Wu had a little vigilance in his heart, and for some reason, there was always a feeling of hair.

The mother-in-law put the right of the Xue family's housekeeper into her hands, and all the things in this ancestral house were arranged by her.

If the mother-in-law investigates and takes away the right to be a housekeeper, the life in the Xue family will not be easy in the future.

However, soon, the worry in Wu's heart was suppressed, and she thought of Mother Xu, even if she really pulled out something, there was Mother Xu who could stand up to it.

Thinking like this in my heart, I finally put my mind at ease and my expression relaxed.

Xue Ling stood aside and silently observed everyone's demeanor.

The second aunt Wu's expression was the most obvious.

From the nervousness at the beginning to the relaxation at the back, the slightest changes fell on Xue Ling's eyes.

Now she is very sensitive to this small change in expression, and she seems to be able to feel the slope of Wu's mood change.

But that's just the beginning.

The human heart cannot be controlled, but she can control the direction of the situation.

As for Qiu Shi on the side, his expression was as calm as watching a play from beginning to end.

Xue Ling nodded secretly, this third aunt is really thoughtful, and now she doesn't want to turn her face with Qiu.

Her gaze moved to Old Lady Xue.

Old Madam Xue just glanced at Jiang Yue and didn't say anything, so she said to the Wu family, "There are regulations on what should be purchased, you and your sister-in-law discuss it and see what needs to be added or subtracted." ”

This has the meaning of turning big things into small ones.

Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and arranged for someone to buy it.

Xue Ling naturally expected that Mrs. Xue was born in the lineage, married into the Xue family to host the middle feed for decades, and has the style of everyone, even if she loses her son in her later years, she can endure to preside over the overall situation. At this time, it is natural that my grandmother will not focus on other small things.

But this kind of thing is not a trivial matter for Xue Ling.

Wu's deducted money, bad intentions, the mother who was harmed in the previous life died early, and this life is also a repetition of the old tricks, she can't easily spare it.

Xue Ling got up, "Grandmother, yesterday Xu's mother made a list, listing a list of things, my mother has no money in hand, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago, and then Xu's mother said that the funeral should not be paid by the mother, so the matter was stopped, and now the tired second aunt is really sorry." ”

Qiu couldn't help but glance at Xue Ling, with an innocent look, but every word was full of deep meaning, Qiu was a little surprised, but she immediately took over and said, "Ah Ling is really a child, this funeral matter naturally shouldn't be paid by sister-in-law." Mother Xu is an old man in the house, she must understand this truth, how could she make a list for her sister-in-law to buy, and besides, her sister-in-law has no money in hand, which is even more strange. ”

Old Madam Xue was thoughtful.

The room was surprisingly quiet, and the Wu family secretly hated in his heart, this Qiu family did it on purpose.

Wu was anxious and decided to change the topic, "That is, although our Xue family is not a rich and noble family, we have never been short of money, my sister-in-law must be because she is treating people in private, and she is worried that her mother-in-law will blame her, so she will pull out these first, and her sister-in-law is too, her mother-in-law has always been the most sensible, and she will never blame you for no reason." ”

This technique was really a little sharp, and he directly put the matter aside, and couldn't wait to convict Jiang Yue.

Old Madam Xue really coughed lightly, "Since there is no charcoal fire, let's go and arrange it, buy everything that should be bought, Mama Qiu, you go and help arrange it." ”

Xue Ling hung her head, her grandmother didn't want to talk about her mother's visit now, so she wanted to skip it, but her current idea was to take away the right of the Wu family's housekeeper, even if her grandmother didn't want to mention it, she had to mention it.

Xue Ling's eyes forced out two tears, looked at Mrs. Xue and said, "Grandmother, it's very cold here, everything is in short supply, A-Niang often goes to the clinic in order to make me and my sister suffer less, but now the weather is getting worse and worse, A-Niang can't go to the doctor, the money is not enough, and there is not even a charcoal fire, will it be better to go back to Xue's house." ”

Wu's face gradually froze.

looked at Xue Ling's gaze, and began to be unfriendly.

Although Xue Ling didn't specifically refer to it, anyone could hear it, that is, Wu Shike deducted his daily expenses.

Wu glanced at Jiang Yue deeply, she underestimated this sister-in-law, and even let the child talk about this.

The topic was brought back again, and this time it was naturally unavoidable.

Qiu Shi didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and took the initiative to break the silence, "Although our Xue family is not a rich and noble family, the family has enough food and clothing, how can Ah Ling say such sad words, are you having a hard time?" ”

Old Lady Xue didn't say a word, but just swept her gaze to the Wu family, waiting for an explanation.

Wu quickly calmed down and said, "I distributed it according to the previous usage, and my sister-in-law didn't say enough, and Mother Xu didn't say anything to me." ”

Xue Ling was waiting for this sentence, "Grandmother, the money sent from the house is not enough, A-Niang has never known how to complain, before my father passed away, he also held my hand, saying that we orphans and widows don't know how to live in the future." ”

Xue Ling mentioned her father, Mrs. Xue couldn't hold back any longer, she looked at Jiang Yue, "Is what Ah Ling said true, you are living poorly?" Why have you never heard Xu's mother mention it? ”

Mrs. Xue immediately thought of Mother Xu, and seemed to understand that this person couldn't believe it, so she didn't say anything in the end.

Mrs. Xue didn't ask Wu, and Wu was a little panicked, "Mother-in-law, I"

Old Lady Xue raised her hand and stopped Wu's unspoken words.

"Jiang, you say."

Jiang Yue stepped forward and thought slightly, "Ah Ling is right, when we came to the ancestral house, I didn't have much money with me, mother-in-law, the monthly allowance sent by the house is indeed not enough to maintain daily expenses, I always thought that this was what my mother-in-law meant." ”

Old Lady Xue's expression changed.

Wu said, "My sister-in-law has a rich dowry and plenty of money, and now she is talking about this, no one believes it?" ”

Jiang Yue continued, "I have a rich dowry, so the Xue family will deduct my daily expenses? Mother-in-law, I remember that the Xue family did not have such a precedent. ”

Jiang Yue had a momentum of his own, and he was aggressive, and Wu had no power to refute.

Jiang Yue has continued, "Mother-in-law, the dowry I have in hand has been distributed to Ah Ling and Yan'er, my mother-in-law knows about this, I came to the ancestral house, and the money I brought with me was not much, I insisted on taking it to the ancestral house for treatment that day, I thought that the matter of deducting was to force me to go back, naturally I would not compromise, it was my fault to practice medicine in private, my mother-in-law wanted to blame, I admitted it, but the Xue family's move was really unkind, even if I wanted to die, I would not accept it." ”
