Although Linghui listened to her mother's words, she couldn't swallow this breath, and Lihua was cold for two days, during which she dropped a lot of dishes and chopsticks, and the eldest lady was in a bad mood, and the maids in the house didn't dare to come out.

On the third day, Lihua's biological mother, Mrs. Bai, came to the door with several maids.

Mrs. Bai was widowed at the age of forty, and she supported the Bai family alone, she was not a simple character, she was old, and she was like a fire.

The old lady Bai was thin, but she was very energetic, with a pair of bright eyes, sharp eyes, and sharp legs and feet, otherwise she would not have been able to rush from Shanghai in a tiring journey.

The eldest lady knew that this woman was not easy to deal with, and respectfully brought her to the upper seat.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Lihua was a little surprised, and Linghui stood aside, her face stiff, and she was probably pressed by her on weekdays.

The old lady coughed and said slowly: "It's been two days, and you haven't gone back, thinking that you can't persuade me, I will come over to persuade you personally." ”

She glanced at the eldest lady and said with a smile: "My son is not angry, let Linghui be wronged, please forgive me." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately smiled: "What did you say, Linghui just missed me, she didn't come back for a year, and she rushed back to see me this time, so you misunderstood." ”

Mrs. Bai could hear that she was excusing Linghui's willfulness, so she naturally followed her wishes and deliberately blamed Lihua: "Look, I have worried about you in vain." ”

As soon as Linghui opened her mouth to say something, the eldest lady immediately stopped her and said: "Since you are here, let's stay together for two more days, there will be a big drama in the pear garden the day after tomorrow, and I heard that I invited a famous corner in Jiangnan." ”

Mrs. Bai has always disliked listening to dramas, she is different from other women, she is used to being the master of the house, and her life is the life of hard work, she excused herself: "Not this time, next time, next time I have to go back when I am free, I have to rush back overnight today, so many things are waiting to be dealt with, and I can't leave people." When the eldest lady heard this, she was a little embarrassed, Linghui tugged on the eldest lady's sleeve and muttered in a low voice: "I won't go back!" ”

The eldest lady glared at her sternly, and all these small actions fell into the eyes of the old lady Bai, how could she not know what Linghui was gambling on.

When Linghui married into the Bai family, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, she was born in general, but fortunately, her husband was angry, and she started from scratch to have the current industry, she herself suffered a lot, and looked down on the deep lady, Linghui was stubborn and stubborn, and his son was weak and gentle, so he was naturally obedient to the ground.

She is angry in her heart, plus she has not given birth for five consecutive years, she is regarded as a thorn in the flesh, and she is not less cynical and blameful on weekdays, she suffers quietly, but today, probably in her own home, she doesn't take her seriously.

Mrs. Bai simply said: "I won't hide it from you, Linghui has been married to our family for five years, and there has been no movement in my stomach so far, I am also old, I can't live for a few years, I want to be able to look forward to my grandson before I die, a few days ago, I was in charge and gave Lihua a second room, but don't worry, Mrs. Linghui, we will not treat her badly, in the future, let Lihua be doubly good to her." ”

Although she said this very calmly, but these words were said to push Linghui to the cusp, the servants in this room, more than a dozen mouths, dozens of ears, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not say it, Linghui stood aside and couldn't interject, her face was flushed with anger, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted to her fingers, biting her lip, trembling slightly.

The eldest lady's face was even more pale, and she felt that her face had lost its brilliance, but she didn't casually let people take advantage of her, she found out the old lady's temperament, just like a cannon battle, it exploded at one point.

She said: "I took her to the doctor a few days ago, and the doctor said that she was tired and sick all these years, and her body was weak, and she couldn't get pregnant probably because of this. ”

"You're beating around the bush and saying that we have treated Linghui badly?" Old Lady Bai got up from her chair, a little excited.

The eldest lady calmly went over to help her sit down, and comforted: "I don't mean that, I know my daughter, and it's also a worry about my life, so I always persuade her to relax, there is a man to take care of things outside, what if Lihua marries the second room this time, you are married by Ming Media after all, and the children born in the second room in the future will also call you mother." ”

The words made Mrs. Bai speechless, the more she argued, the more she was prone to the notoriety of treating her daughter-in-law badly, she could only spill her anger on Lihua, Lihua suffered, walked up to Linghui, and apologized: "Huihui, it is I who usually neglect to take care of you, don't worry, I will compensate you well when I go back this time!" The eldest lady saved face and kept Linghui's reputation, and she was secretly relieved, and Linghui's face softened slightly, Lihua's apology was very sincere, her heart softened all of a sudden, and in front of such people, she was embarrassed to refuse, so she could only nod slightly.

The eldest lady originally wanted to let the next person pack up the room and come out, and let Mrs. Bai stay for one night, but Mrs. Bai directly refused, she was worried about the affairs of the family, and after having lunch, she explained a few words to Lihua and went back first.

After breakfast the next day, Linghui followed Lihua home, before leaving, Li Yao also went to see her off, Linghui's face was a little haggard, it was estimated that she hadn't slept much all night, it could be seen that she still had a diaphragm in her heart, but she couldn't bear it, she took Li Yao's hand and explained: "In the future, I will bother you to help take care of my mother more, and I don't worry about others." ”

"Big sister, don't worry, I will."

Looking at her departing back, Li Yao felt a little sympathy for her, some things always made people involuntarily, she thought of herself, one day maybe she would face the same thing, Linghui was lucky, because her husband was towards her.

As soon as Linghui and the others left, the eldest lady asked Wu's mother to go down, not to chew the root of the tongue, and whoever dared to go out and talk nonsense would be directly blasted out.

Linghui's matter reminded several wives that the girls in the family have also reached the age of marriage, Linglong has already promised others, and the rest are Li Yao and Lingli.

Today, Mrs. Wu came to the house, Mrs. Wu's man treated her generally, and married three or four aunts and wives at home, but she didn't care if she wanted to, she liked to visit the door and play cards on weekdays.

She has a son, who is in his twenties, and it stands to reason that he is not young, but he has always been idle, not doing his job, and he likes to be nostalgic for fireworks and willow lane, so he is not married at this age.

She came to the door today, saying that she was coming to make an appointment, but in fact she was wishful thinking.

She lost three or four cards in a row, and she was still in a good mood, and suddenly said, "Why don't you see a few girls in your family?" ”

The eldest lady replied: "Xu is playing in the yard, or maybe he has gone out." ”

She was a little disappointed, and then said to the fourth wife: "I heard that Linglong's marriage has been decided, is it the son of the Shao family?" It's really blessed, I see that Shao Gongzi is young and promising, he is really a talented and beautiful couple, and people outside don't know how envious they are! ”

The fourth lady was very proud when she heard this: "It's decided, it's a matter of my heart." Your son is not young, is there any girl in the picture? ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately replied to her words: "That kid in my family has a high eye, and he has seen several people's houses, but he can't look down on it, saying that it has to be like your family to get into his eyes." ”

The eldest lady's face changed, and it was clear that what she said just now was the idea of their girl, her son had long been famous, but any girl in any family was afraid to avoid it, she was good, and dared to come to the house to kiss her.

The fourth wife understood that she was negligent and was tricked, and she was a little embarrassed, and seeing that the eldest wife and the fifth wife were silent, she had to reply stubbornly: "Where is it, we can't climb your son-in-law." ”

Mrs. Wu is simple-minded, she thinks that her son is a little playful, but now which man is not playful, and he doesn't take it seriously in his heart, he looked at Mrs. Wu again, and said, "Your girl is seventeen, right?" Do you want to talk about people? ”

When the fifth wife heard this, she deliberately avoided and said, "Ling Li is still sixteen years old. ”

She wanted to continue, but the eldest lady suddenly interrupted her: "Mrs. Wu, it's time for you to play your cards!" ”

Mrs. Wu's smile froze on her face, a little unhappy, and muttered in her heart, at this time, Li Yao suddenly pushed the door in, today she wanted to visit Uncle Xiama, she met in a hurry last time, and she didn't say a few words, so she came over to inform the eldest lady.

The eldest lady agreed, and specially asked Wu's mother to find a driver for her and send her over.

Mrs. Wu, who was playing cards, noticed Li Yao, this girl was not quite the same as the other two girls of the Li family, she knew how to be polite and more calm, although her appearance was slightly worse than Linglong, but compared to ordinary girls, it was also a beauty embryo that could not be found.

She laughed dryly twice, and asked again, "This is the third girl?" ”

The eldest lady nodded: "It's the third girl, I just came back a few days ago, and I still have some recognition of life, but I don't recognize you." ”

She nodded, and didn't continue to ask, these three girls were not born well, although they were also the daughter of the Li family, but they were born to a maid, she was a little hesitant, if she could be an aunt and wife for her son, but I don't know if the eldest lady agrees.

After Mrs. Wu left, Mrs. Fourth suddenly spoke: "This Mrs. Wu is also really, her son doesn't know how many catties and taels she has, and she still wants to harm the girl in our family." ”

The fifth lady accosted: "She looked at the three girls a little strangely just now, it can't be the three girls in our family, right?" ”

"Can't she, she's willing to let her precious son marry a maid's daughter? Mrs. Wu is a face-saving person, but it is still possible to be a concubine for his son! ”

The eldest lady glanced at the fourth lady and said mockingly: "The left and right can't harm your girl, you just talk cool here." ”

"Originally, she couldn't hide what she was thinking in her heart, you see that she just raised her eyebrows, and she must be making up her mind in her heart, but sister-in-law, I think that although her son is a little muddy, but right now, the three girls can't get a better family affair than this."

The eldest lady shook her fan, recently, the weather is getting hotter, there are more mosquitoes, and the buzzing sound is as suspicious as the fourth wife's voice, she said: "Okay, okay, what kind of person should she find, I have my own plans in my heart, but don't say this in front of the three girls, and don't go to outsiders to talk about it, Mrs. Wu listened to it, this person broke his mouth, don't make a bad name." ”
