Xia Ruixi didn't say the wrong thing, and a cherry almost led to a bloody case.

Faced with Mrs. Xia's questioning, Mrs. Xia didn't say a word, and ordered someone to bring out the account books. It is clearly recorded that since the beginning of this month, in addition to the normal expenses of the family, how much has been spent on the large house, how much has been spent on the second room, and how much has been spent in the old lady's room.

After all, the additional expenditure of the big house turned out to be more than five times that of the old lady and the second room combined. Especially Jiang's, the sea cucumbers that eat bird's nest today, shark fin tomorrow, and sea cucumbers will be eaten the day after tomorrow are all small stoves, not counting all kinds of high-end snacks, almost only unexpected, nothing that cannot be eaten. I've written it down there.

Wang's face suddenly became ugly: "We have a large population in this house, and there are only those who want to come in, and there are no ones who get married." Naturally, use more, Rui Zhu's daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she will definitely eat something good for the Xia family. To whom shall it be remembered? She poked Mrs. Xia's son as much as her, and she didn't have any credit.

Mrs. Xia ignored her and said softly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't want everyone to live a tight life, but this year, business is not good, and there are major events at home, if you don't save a little, I'm afraid that I don't have the money to do things, so I have to draw a line there, not to embarrass anyone." ”

Before the old lady could answer, Wang roared over: "What business is not easy to do?" The night before yesterday, I also saw Cui Yuan come back with someone pulling two large carts of silver. What's the big deal? Isn't it just marrying a daughter? Who hasn't married a daughter? You marry your daughter, but you want us to tighten our belts and accompany you to poverty! If you don't have that ability, what kind of façade is it? A good shop is not reserved for his own children and nephews, but he wants to use it to subsidize outsiders, is it difficult for the family to drink the northwest wind? ”

When the old lady heard this, she felt that it was too unreasonable, and frowned to speak, but before Wang finished speaking, her fingers tapped on the account book: "I am illiterate, and the account book you make is not how you want to remember it, and you can fool people as much as you want." Why is it that only our family eats, and there is no food for yours? Is it all for us to use all this silver? Deficit? You won't be in charge of the deficit! ”

Mrs. Xia said calmly: "When my sister-in-law said this, I have to ask, what did we use and didn't remember it?" ”

"Let me ask you, do you have any expenses for candied cherries?"

"Nope."

"It's good if you don't have it!" Wang took out the jar of candied cherries and put it on the table vigorously: "Mother, this is what you saw with your own eyes." She was not allowed to buy it for Rui Zhu's daughter-in-law, but she bought 3 cans for her son at one time, and she never recorded it in the account, does this count as her embezzling money from the public? I also ran into it today, and I don't know how many things like this have been done in the past? ”

Xia Ruixi said: "Auntie, we are a family, don't say anything hurtful, so as not to hurt the harmony." This candied cherry was bought for Rui Yu at my own expense, so naturally I don't need to record it. I want to know that my sister-in-law wants to eat it, so I will buy it for her and send it to her, but I still don't have to pay it. ”

It is probably that Xia Ruixi is too gentle and quiet now, so that the Wang family no longer panics that she is rude, so the Wang family glanced at her: "Go!" Go! Girl, where do you have the right to speak? If it weren't for you, your sister-in-law wouldn't be hungry. ”

Xia Ruixi frowned and said, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" How do I make my sister-in-law hungry? You keep saying that my father and mother give me a dowry to subsidize outsiders, could it be that I used a copper plate from my eldest brother and sister-in-law? I'm a girl, what's wrong with the film? Weren't you a girl in the first place? ”

Xia Ruixi didn't do anything, and simply grabbed Mrs. Xia's sleeve and wept and said, "Mother, I don't want a dowry!" Save the eldest aunt and always say that I occupy the shop of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I am hungry for my nephew, which makes you angry every day! I'll buy cans of snacks for my little brother to eat, and I'll hurt you to be corrupted for your money! Didn't our father even suffer for these two pieces of silver? Could it be that you and your father work so hard that you can't give your daughter a dowry? He looked at the old lady: "Grandma, you gave a comment, I made my sister-in-law hungry?" ”

The old lady lowered her eyes and said, "Your aunt's statement is a little upside down, and you ignore her." But you children still don't care about adults. ”

"Okay, the child doesn't care, then the adult will say," Mrs. Xia looked at Wang coldly: "Sister-in-law, you make it clear!" Where is Ruizhu's shop? Did you buy it for him or did he buy it with his own money? How did we not know? Why is Hee Hee starving her sister-in-law again? I give my daughter's dowry to you a word? ”

Wang couldn't answer, but instead went to Xia Ruixi: "Second girl!" When did I say I wouldn't give you a dowry? When did you say that you occupied your eldest brother and sister-in-law's shop? ”

Xia Ruixi glared at her: "Auntie, this is what you asked me, not that I want to take care of your adult business." You've heard what you've said! You say every day in your yard that I occupied a sister-in-law's shop, and you still shouted my name and cursed, cursing why I didn't fall to my death in the first place, so I came to lose! The girls are talking! I thought I'd put up with it, but you're going too far! It's okay for me to be a little angry, don't wronged my mother! Then he went to call Mrs. Xia: "Grandma, the eldest aunt hopes that her granddaughter will not survive in the first place!" Did you do this aunt? Mrs. Xia wanted to pretend to be dizzy, but Xia Ruixi reminded her of everything, lest she go to the back and say that she didn't pay attention, didn't hear, and didn't know.

Wang opened his mouth and stammered, how could the words she whispered to her son and daughter-in-law reach Xia Ruixi's ears?

Old Madam Xia's ears were buzzing, irritable, and she slammed her crutches to the ground: "Shut up for me!" Isn't it just a jar of cherries? is so childish, if it is spread out, it will be laughed to death! Who wants to eat? Who wants to eat? The old woman asked her to eat ten cans, twenty cans, not enough to eat another hundred cans! Enough, right? He glanced at the orange again, and asked the orange to persuade the Wang family not to make any more trouble.

Mrs. Xia saw it in her eyes, a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and she saluted the old lady: "Mother, at this point, my daughter-in-law has to talk about it for the sake of her innocence and the peace of this family." Over the years, because Shu Zhun said that he wanted to save the money in the public school and leave it to their brothers, we didn't use a copper in the public money, no matter how big or small the expenditure was, including the money for Rui Zhu and Rui Yan's daughter-in-law, we paid it! I don't say those ugly words about who raises whom, just say that now I am accompanying a shop to marry my daughter and buy canned cherries for my son to eat, and my sister-in-law said that I took my nephew's things, starved my nephew and daughter-in-law, and polluted the money of the princess, and even cursed Xixi why he didn't die early. This is really not like saying something for the elderly, it is chilling! Now ask my mother to administer justice, let's find out this matter clearly, and see if I use my own money or the money of the public. If I am greedy for a copper child in the public and do something that is sorry for this family, I will pay double the compensation, accept the family law, and never be this family again! ”

The old lady knew that it was going to be bad, but Mrs. Xia didn't give her any chance to object, and turned around and ordered her subordinates: "Go and call the eldest and second masters back immediately, and then move the account books of the public middle school over, please ask for family law!" ”

Wang got the message from the old lady and knew that he wanted her not to make trouble, and he heard that he wanted to ask for family law and to see the account books of the public middle school, so he was weak in the end and jumped out: "What are you doing when you call them back?" What kind of family law to prepare? Who is to be punished? Mother is sitting here, who do you have the right to punish? ”

Mrs. Xia glanced at her: "Whoever violates the law will be punished." The main thing is that if I make a mistake, I will be punished by the family law. If I didn't make a mistake, it must be the one who punishes the one who made a mistake. ”

The old lady coughed vigorously: "Second daughter-in-law! Calm down! Sesame is a big deal, what are you doing with such a big commotion? Don't you be afraid to spread it, people laugh at our family? ”

Mrs. Xia said with a smile: "Mother, if the country is unable to do so, it will be chaotic, and the family will lose without rules." It is precisely because I am afraid that people will laugh at our family that we have to make this matter more and more clear. Otherwise, I will carry this stigma on my back, and I will not be able to carry it up when I go out, and I will not be able to be a family or serve the public in this family. ”

The old lady sank her face and tried to use her authority to suppress Mrs. Xia: "Are you still going to talk back?" I'm not dead yet! I said don't make any more trouble, don't make any more trouble! It's all scattered! ”

If Mrs. Xia says it again, she is disobedient to the old lady, but who is Mrs. Xia? Breaking off will not give people a handle, let alone fight a battle that is uncertain. She looked at Wang's smug face and smiled incomprehensibly: "Okay, just according to my mother's words, everyone will disperse and don't make trouble." Li Niang, bring the things up. ”

Li Niang lowered her head and handed over a box, and the old lady frowned and said, "What is this for?" ”

Mrs. Xia opened the box, "This is the key to the house." The daughter-in-law is incompetent, she can't be the family, so she will hand over the key today, and the sister-in-law can speak well, be shrewd and capable, and be able to enforce the law impartially, so I will ask the sister-in-law to be the family. Sister-in-law, what do you think? If you don't have anything else, then it's decided, right? ”

When Wang heard this, he was overjoyed, and was about to respond, but Jiang gently pulled his sleeves, and when he looked back, Juzi was looking at her and squeezing her eyes, shaking her head and looking at the old lady, the meaning was obvious. The Wang family was reminded, and after thinking about it, the Xuan family has always been cunning, and has firmly held the power of the housekeeper for more than ten years since he entered the door, how could he hand over the power so easily? It must be something the hell again, and the old lady didn't speak at the moment.

The old lady understood that Mrs. Xia was determined to settle the accounts today. Whether it is the power to enter the ancestral hall or hand over to the steward, it must be liquidated in the end. The hard ones can't come to the soft ones, and I want to coax Mrs. Xia, appease and appease the second room, and press this matter down. But he was used to putting on a show again, he couldn't pull his face, coughed coldly twice, and said without yin or yang: "Second daughter-in-law, I know you have been wronged." Your sister-in-law didn't know, said the wrong thing, did the wrong thing, I scolded her, let her apologize to you, you just look at my face, right? ”
