Chapter 69: The Storm

The old lady is getting older, and her spirit is gradually not as good as before, so the old man changed the daily morning and dusk to once a month, but today she just got up early to freshen up, and she heard Gui Yi Dao Song has been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

"It's not the first day of junior high school today, what are the people in the second room doing so early?" The old lady was helped out of the room by Yahuan with a puzzled look.

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw Song sitting upright with a black face, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood. When the old lady saw Song like this, she knew that she was afraid that she would have a headache again today.

The old lady frowned and sat down on the top, and after sighing quietly, she restrained her emotions and asked slowly, "Why did the second room come to see my old woman so early today?" ”

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law is here to judge you today!" As soon as the Song family heard the old lady speak, he complained busily, "Daughter-in-law doesn't understand, they are all daughters-in-law, why is the treatment of the big house better than our other rooms?!" ”

Song's questioning made the old lady stunned for a moment before she said, "What do you mean by this in the second room?" How many things should be sent each month in a few rooms, that is a fixed number, you are now the head of the house, you know the situation in this family best, to count the good treatment, isn't it the best treatment in your second room? ”

The Lin family has always had rules, before the separation of the family, except for the dowry brought by the daughter-in-law, all the things belong to the Lin family, and the living money earned every year must be handed over to the house, and then the old lady will pay the monthly rules to the rooms every month according to the situation.

Because the second room is the main room, the monthly case of each month is richer than that of the other rooms, which is a tacit matter for the whole house, and the old lady doesn't know why the Song family suddenly came to complain about this today, which really made her a little confused.

Song Shi was asked by the old lady like this, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, but she quickly restrained her emotions and continued: "Old lady, since my daughter-in-law came to talk to you today, naturally it is not for nothing......

Seeing the old lady looking at her with a puzzled expression, Song took a sip of tea before he continued to speak with a difficult face: "After the death of the eldest brother, it is really hard for the sister-in-law to run the big house alone, so the daughter-in-law can also understand that you want to take care of the big house more, but you usually take care of the sister-in-law in private, and now when the monthly example is issued, you directly add three hundred taels of silver to the big house on the bright side, so it's a little bad......

"What?" When the old lady heard this, she finally figured out a clue, "Erfang, what you said is a bit excessive." Let's not talk about whether my wife is biased in favor of the big house in private, just talk about the three hundred taels of silver, where to start? ”

"Isn't that what you told the bookkeeper to do?" Seeing that the old lady really seemed to know nothing, Song couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Song's pretentiousness finally confused the old lady, "I don't know what you're talking about, you can tell me this matter from beginning to end!" ”

Speaking of this, the old lady was finally aroused a little angry by Song's words, and when she spoke again, even her face slowly sank.

Seeing that everything was developing according to his expectations, a sneer quickly crossed the corners of Song's mouth.

"Old lady, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, it's not good to be angry for a while." After Song comforted the old lady painlessly, he continued to speak: "The thing is actually like this, didn't you give out a monthly certificate yesterday." The daughters-in-law happened to be sitting and talking at the sister-in-law's place again, and at this time, the subordinates of the family carried the things to the courtyard, and the three hundred taels of silver were more than eye-catching, and the daughters-in-law could see it at a glance. ”

Curious, the daughters-in-law went over to look at the things that the big house had received this month, and found that the monthly price of the big house was three hundred taels more than that of the second room! At that time, the third and fourth siblings were a little unhappy, so they turned around and went back to see the monthly orders issued in their own hospital. As a result, it turned out that the monthly case of the big house was the most generous, and then the third brother and sister and the fourth brother and sister came to the daughter-in-law to complain a few words......"

"Although the daughter-in-law also understands the hard work of the old lady, but in the third and fourth rooms, the daughter-in-law always has to give them an explanation, otherwise how can the daughter-in-law, the main mother......"

When Song said the back, his voice became lower and lower, and the old lady's face became darker and darker.

"You said so much in the second room, don't you mean that the old woman and I are partial to the big house? But if the old woman and I really have the intention to favor the big house, where can you catch the handle of the old woman? "The old lady knows that if this matter is not properly resolved today, I am afraid that this house will explode.

Yes, she couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Go and find everyone in the big house, I'm going to check it out today where the three hundred taels of silver came from!" ”

After a while, all the masters in the house who could speak came to the house, and even Lin Yingxue heard that this matter was related to the big house, so she came over with worries.

The atmosphere in the main hall was very tense, and the old lady sat at the top, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, and everyone below was so shocked that they did not dare to speak at will.

"Everyone is coming?" The old lady sitting at the top glanced around, and saw that everyone was almost here, so she couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Dafang, when the monthly allowance was distributed yesterday, what happened to the extra three hundred taels of silver in your room?" ”

Liu didn't expect the old lady to come up and ask about the silver.

Indeed, as everyone thinks, the old lady is sympathetic to her running the whole house alone, so she will often help her in private. When she saw the three hundred taels of silver yesterday, she thought it was the old lady's handwriting, but seeing today's posture, I am afraid she was wrong.

"Back to the old lady, the daughter-in-law doesn't know where the three hundred taels of silver came from." Liu suppressed the nervousness and apprehension in his heart, and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "The daughter-in-law originally thought that the person in the accounting room had made a mistake, and thought that the housekeeper should come over to take the silver back, so she didn't take it to heart. ”

Speaking of the account room, Song couldn't help but smile, and then answered on the side: "The account room will not release the silver without the old lady's instructions......" As soon as the words were spoken, Song quickly covered his mouth again, and pretended to say the wrong thing and glanced at the old lady and Liu.

However, no matter how much the Song clan tried to cover it up, what Fang just said could not be taken back.

The people in the few rooms originally guessed that it was the subsidy for the big house given by the old lady in private, but it was accidentally brought to the surface by the ignorant subordinates. Now that Song said this, everyone was more sure of the conjecture in their hearts.

The already depressed atmosphere in the main hall couldn't help but become heavier because of Song's words, and the faces of everyone in the room changed significantly, but among them, the most angry was of course the old lady.
