Where there are people, there is right and wrong, and where there are women, right and wrong spread very quickly.

Although Yuan Ning's words were only said in a small area, before the banquet ended, all the women who came to the banquet knew about it.

These people have different attitudes towards Yuanning, some admire, some despise, and some disregard.

Some women who have been in a state of oppression feel that Yuan Ning has really breathed a sigh of relief for themselves, and their hearts are a lot more steady; Those who have always been pampered, the flowers of the greenhouse generally live in the inner house, have nothing to do, and the housekeeper is left only with the east and the west to spread gossip The woman feels that Yuan Ning is too unruly, how can there be such a woman in this world!

There are also some women who feel that Yuan Ning's move is inappropriate, after all, women's De Rong Gongyan is extremely important, and Yuan Ning is obviously out of line in many places. But this is someone else's business, it has nothing to do with them, and they don't bother to pay attention to it.

Until the banquet ended, Yuan Ning did not show up again, and even Zhong Ling did not show up, it was Aunt Zhang, Sister-in-law Liu, and Aunt Luo who helped to send off the guests.

The guests left with their own hearts, but they all left their gifts unanimous.

Yuan Ning was impatient to pay attention to this, everyone left, and he went to the studio to do his own business.

It's Zhong Ling, who has checked everything, took a notebook, and recorded all the names and gifts accordingly.

After the busy work, it was getting dark, so I took the ledger and went to find Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning also just cleaned up the studio, and was about to come out, when he saw her, he smiled, "Let's go, what's the matter, let's go back to the house and talk." ”

The main room is warmer than the studio.

When he arrived in the living room, he lit the lamp on the kang table, and Zhong Ling spread out the account book and read it to Yuan Ning one by one.

Yuan Ning waved his hand, "Don't read it, let's return all these things when we go back." ”

"Why is that?" Zhong Ling was puzzled, since he could remember, his family had not received any gifts, but his parents would also give gifts to the elders during the New Year's holidays.

After coming to the county seat, Zhu Ji's men and workers would occasionally give Yuan Ning a little loose, such as vegetables, and Yuan Ning collected them.

"The identities are different," Yuan Ning said meaningfully, "Zhong Ling, you must know that there are some principles that we must adhere to.

"Before, the people in our shop sent things, but they were just to show gratitude, the purpose was very simple, and the things sent were not valuable, so I accepted them, this is a piece of people's hearts, and it can't be wasted.

"But today these people came to give gifts, and you said that one of them came to us with real intentions? Nope! They are all here for your identity as Brother Su.

"All I want is to come here today, to have a show, and to be blessed with something in the future, so that there is a back door to walk through.

"Before, your eldest brother Su didn't get married, and there were no female dependents at home, so they couldn't move around even if they wanted to, and then there was me...... Once raw and twice cooked, walking around like this, some words can be handed in.

"If you receive these gifts today...... Today's gifts are not too valuable, but they will test them little by little in the future, and increase their weight little by little.

"For example, if you give a gift worth ten taels of silver today, it may be ten taels and one dollars tomorrow, and ten taels and three dollars the day after tomorrow...... Ascend in turn, not more each time.

"The giver of the gift is not burdened, and the person who receives the gift doesn't think it's excessive, after all, ten taels of silver is nothing to us now.

"But over time, it's very likely that before we know it, the gifts they give are already very large.

"As the saying goes, 'take people's hands short', you take the benefits of others, but you don't do things for others, it's really unreasonable.

"This is just one of them, on the other hand, this is also equivalent to someone holding the handle of Heting, he is an official, and his official reputation is extremely important.

If the failure destroys the official reputation, not to mention that his original intention of being the master of the people will be forced to change, once the people of the Yushitai are impeached, his officialdom career will be completely over.

"Besides, Zhong Ling, look at these gifts, what's so rare? What we want, we can earn it by our own ability, so that we can eat and sleep soundly, have peace of mind, and live happily, why not. ”

After saying this, she paused, smiled and said: "Another point, these people who came to give gifts today basically look down on us, they don't know how to scold me behind my back, especially when I said something like that in public." Based on this alone, you say we can receive these gifts? ”

Although Zhong Ling is young, he is very precocious, even if he didn't figure it out at the beginning, after Yuan Ning's little push, he also figured it out, and immediately said firmly: "What the eldest sister said is that I will personally send it back tomorrow!" ”

"That's right," Yuan Ning touched her head, "If you don't say this, I have to let you go, my current identity is not suitable for coming forward, your eldest brother...... It's not quite suitable, you're young, but you're sensible, and it's best for you to leave these to you. ”

"There's just a little thing," she added after a moment's thought, "the world of adults is complicated, and they may be polite to your face, but behind the scenes, they will point fingers at you......"

"Eldest sister, I understand!" Zhong Ling's attitude was very firm, "My sister has worked so hard for a few of us, what can I do a little bit of?" It's just a bit of back-the-ground talk, and I can't hear it. ”

Yuan Ning sighed, "But sooner or later, it will reach your ears." What a terrible thing to say! ”

"Is that sister afraid?" Zhong Ling looked up at her.

"Me?" Yuan Ning tilted his head and thought about it, "If it's too serious, I'm definitely still afraid, but for now, I'm not afraid." They say anything, even if it is malicious curses and abuse, it is their own saliva that is wasted, and it is they themselves who are angry first.

"On the other hand, we don't have any losses. What's more, I am the elder sister, if I don't stand up and make a living, will I watch my family starve and freeze?

"From this point of view, they have no reason to criticize me for showing up regardless of my daughter's identity, but want to commend me!"

Zhong Ling listened, with a heartfelt smile on his face, and reached out to hug her, "Sister, I'm very happy, you didn't treat us as a burden." ”

"Even if it's a burden," Yuan Ning pinched her nose slightly, "it's a sweet burden." ”

If there is no shackle in life, it is easy to lose fighting spirit, but if you have someone you must protect, then the motivation to fight will be more sufficient.
