Chapter 30: When I Was an Egg?
Things happened too fast, making everyone feel that their hearts were suddenly pumping, and when people saw it clearly, they saw Lin lying on the ground, with a few emerald green tea leaves standing on her head, and the water was ticking down her hair, and her head was still vaguely steaming, plus that painful and hideous expression, like a wild ghost, where is there still the usual dignified and noble?
Look at the cup next to it that was broken into many pieces, it was obvious that the cup thrown out by the old lady just now happened to fall on Lin's head, plus the one that was just served by the tea room just now was still hot, no wonder the wail just now was so sad, this is obviously not a light smash!
"Mother!"
Qiao Chuying was shocked, hurriedly went over to help Lin up, and when she dragged it up, she noticed her bleeding forehead, and her heart trembled again!
"Out, bleeding!"
Qiao Chuying was so frightened that she couldn't help but shout.
"What are you calling!"
The teacup was thrown by the old lady, and it was the old lady's fault that it was smashed when it was smashed, but in front of everyone, she didn't admit this face-losing thing!
"Shocked, this is also what she asked for!"
The old lady put the cup on the table, her face was cold, and her voice was a little colder.
"Here, there are needles on the chair, someone wants to harm the daughter-in-law, beg the old lady to call the shots!"
When Lin sat down, she obviously felt a tingling sensation, although she didn't see it clearly, but she could be sure of the sour feeling!
"Full of nonsense!"
When the old lady heard her say this, her hair exploded instantly, and her eyes glared at Lin is angry reprimand: "The entire hall is arranged by the people of my Yanshou Courtyard, you said that there are needles on the seat, could it be that you are saying that I am harming you?"
Lin Shi shuddered, and then realized that she had not mastered the balance in a hurry, and was gagged by the old lady for a while, but the pain all over her body made her unwilling.
"No, Mother didn't mean that. ”
Qiao Chuying reacted quickly and hurriedly explained: "When my mother sat down just now, she should have felt something to panic, and asked my grandmother to find out." ”
"So, isn't there something on my brother and sister's clothes?"
Lu Shi lost no time in interjecting, turned his face to look at the old lady, but actually looked at Qiao Nianxi, and saw the corners of her lips slightly hooked, knowing that he had guessed correctly.
When Lin jumped up, Lu clearly saw the bright light flashing on the chair, but Lin had always liked to wear the brocade with bright faces, and even if there were things on the chair, they were now glued to her clothes.
This sentence seemed to remind everyone, and the old lady squinted her eyes slightly, and mouthed towards the auspicious Nunu beside her.
Ji Xiang walked down, helped Qiao Chuying to help Lin up, his eyes swept over Lin again, and sure enough, he saw the silver needle that was still hanging behind her buttocks!
"Old lady, there is indeed a silver needle behind the lady!"
Ji Xiang took off the silver needles and took them to the old lady.
"Who is so bold to do it to the housewife!"
The old lady had a cold face, slapped the silver needle on the table, and the voice sounded, shaking the things on the table and trembling, and everyone's hearts trembled.
"Speaking of which, when I went to Qingfeng Temple early this morning, I also saw that the third sister had a silver needle hidden on one of her cloaks, and the back of the third sister's neck was marked with a lot of red marks!"
When everyone was quiet, Qiao Xinyu's voice successfully attracted everyone's attention.
When she heard the word "cloak", Lin Shi chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't speak now, and she didn't dare to say it.
"What did you say!"
The old lady frowned when she heard this, turned her face to look at Qiao Xinyu, and swept over Lin's face, and when she touched the panic in her eyes, she seemed to understand something.
Speaking of cloaks, Qiao Nianxi only had the one sent by the Lin family yesterday, Qiao Xinyu was not there at the time, and she didn't know the reason for this, thinking about it this way, her words are very credible, and then thinking about what the Lin family did yesterday, then there is nothing to doubt!
"It's all red marks, and if it's a little more serious, it'll break the skin!"
Qiao Xinyu said as she looked at Qiao Nianxi with a flustered and distressed face.
Qiao Nianxi stood still without speaking, and when she saw the old lady looking at her, she took two steps forward, reached out and brushed the hair behind her, and the snow-white back of her neck was exposed, but those few red marks were shocking!
"Lin, is this your attitude as a housewife?"
The old lady's anger surged up all of a sudden, and she reached out and took the bottom of the remaining cup just now and threw it towards the Lin family!
Qiao Chuying was shocked, stretched out her hand and dragged Lin's hand, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the bottom of the cup fell to the ground and shattered into slag.
Lin Shi choked on a mouthful of saliva in fright, and coughed violently a few times before he took his breath: "This, I don't know! The clothes were given out by me, how could I hide needles on them?"
Who sent the clothes, in addition to the question, who must be found first, this is the way of thinking of ordinary people, but now that the Lin family is taking advantage of this, it is even a little more reasonable.
Looking at the mother and daughter singing and harmonizing, Qiao Nianxi couldn't help sneering in her heart, saying that Jiang is still old and spicy, it's really true, so soon he will turn the spearhead elsewhere!
However, Qiao Nianxi prepared a good show for a night, it was okay for them to take themselves out, how could it be so easy to let them clear up the relationship?
"There are so many clothes with needles in the house, is it because the tailor deliberately procured them or did they not check them well?"
Qiao Nianxi had a little grievance on her face, and as she spoke, she peeked at the old lady.
The old lady looked at Qiao Nianxi, but this aggrieved glance had a different meaning in her eyes.
Qiao Nianxi didn't dare to say it directly that it was the Lin family's business, but she was indeed wronged, so she could only turn things elsewhere, but no matter what, the Lin family's housewife had a responsibility that she couldn't shirk!
"Speaking of which, the tea snacks that have come up recently are not as good as before, and the first cup of tea is yellow, which is shoddy for eating profits!"
Lu Shi seemed to realize something, and followed Qiao Nianxi's words, as he spoke, his eyes glanced at Lin's head, a few tea leaves were still sticking to her head, and two were sticking to her golden flower step, and the emerald green branches and leaves on the step made the tea leaves on it appear more yellow.
The old woman's face sank, and when she heard what the Lu family said, she really felt that something was wrong, and turned her face to glare at the Lin family: "You are really a good family!"
"The daughter-in-law will definitely find out about this matter, and if it is unfavorable to procure, she will be punished heavily!"
Lin didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly corrected her attitude, no matter who was responsible, she couldn't push it off in this matter.
However, this time, the old lady did not intend to pass it like this, and raised her head after thinking for a moment, but her originally calm eyes made the Lin family tremble out of thin air.
"This is an obvious thing, so you don't need to check it, just change it!"
The old lady took the new tea handed over by Jixiang again, rubbed the lid of the cup, and said casually, but she had been thinking about it for a long time, and now she finally found a reason.
Sure enough, the old lady has already had an idea!
Lin's face was gloomy, and he was suddenly so angry that a mouthful of blood poured up: "Mother Cao has done her best all these years, there is no credit and hard work, this mistake may have a reason, let the daughter-in-law find out and make a decision!"
The comprador is a piece of fat here, and the Lin family has benefited from it over the years, so how can he let it go so easily?
"There are needles on the clothes, what else is the cause? Do you really want to investigate, or is this Cao's mother originally here?"
When the old lady saw Lin's defense, she exploded in an instant, and saw that the cup in her hand was about to be thrown towards her again!
The Gao family watched from the side, and suddenly became excited, replacing the Lin family's people, maybe she would fight a little bit and be able to ask for this piece of fat meat, with a good purpose, her eyes narrowed.
"Grandmother is angry, mother doesn't mean that!"
Qiao Chuying was still sober, and when the Lin family was about to defend again, she grabbed her, turned to the old woman, and explained: "Mother is sympathetic to Cao's mother is an old man, and wants to give her a chance to repent, since grandmother is not happy to use it again, then rely on grandmother." ”
While speaking, Qiao Chuying grabbed Lin's arm and lowered her voice: "Grandmother has been staring at this matter for a long time, it is better to be a favor, and the previous things may just pass!"
Lin came to his senses when he heard this, thinking about the old lady's temper, if he really worked against her, maybe the previous accounts would be turned over again, and the gains would outweigh the losses at that time.
"Ying'er is right, the Hou Mansion still focuses on the old lady, if you don't want to use Mother Cao anymore, then replace it. ”
Lin softened, but her lowered eyebrows concealed the anger and unwillingness on her face.
When the old lady heard this, she finally felt a little happier in her heart, nodded and took a sip of tea to clear her throat: "The work of the comprador is directly related to the use of the whole house, who do you say is better to take over?"
"I ......"
Gao Shi waited for the old lady's sentence, and hurriedly interjected when he heard the words, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu.
"The comprador first needs to be careful, the matter of hiding needles in the clothes must not happen again, speaking of carefulness, the daughter-in-law thinks that Zhou's mother is a good candidate. ”
The Lu family still has such a breezy and indisputable expression, but what he says is reasonable, especially when he hits the old lady's heart.
"If you say this, it's true, Zhou's mother has been in the Hou Mansion for more than 30 years, and she has never made a mistake in her conscientious work, plus she was originally a businessman, so it is also suitable!"
The old lady nodded approvingly, very satisfied with Lu's words, this daughter-in-law has always been towards herself, and it is not in vain that she protects their compound everywhere.
That Zhou's mother was originally the person brought by the old lady's marriage, and the old lady thought about promoting it when she was in charge of the house, and now the comprador steward has been replaced by Zhou's mother, which is equivalent to this decision in the hands of the old lady, and the old lady is naturally willing.
Gao's eyes glared at Lu's with a look of resentment, and he almost went up to bite her twice, but the duck in his hand flew again, which really made her hate her teeth!
Here, the Lin family also looked like a pain, but now he can't change anything, so he is simply relieved, still so dignified and gentle, and clenched his hands in private.
