Chapter 6 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety
"Ask the housekeeper, you can pass on the Jiang family now!"
The eldest lady gave a sharp order, and immediately a small servant rushed to the kitchen.
Not long after, the mother-in-law of the Jiang family was brought over, and she was still wearing Aunt Liu's brocade headscarf on her head.
Then the butler, who had been instructed by the eldest lady, began to question.
Things are developing just as Hong Fan expected - the old woman with sharp teeth in the past saw so many big people present, where could she still have the ability to argue?
After a few interrogations, she shook everything she had done like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and half-collapsed on the ground.
"The eldest lady and the housekeeper are friendly to the old servant on weekdays, and the old servant was blinded by lard and greedy, so he started at Young Master Fan."
But even at this time, the mother-in-law of the Jiang family at least has a glimmer of clarity, and only takes all the fault on herself.
"The old servant's family has served the Hong family for generations, and the old servant has made a big mistake this time, and he is willing to accept the punishment, so I just ask the eldest lady not to drive me out......"
On such occasions, she didn't dare to raise her voice, but just knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
It wasn't until the butler went up and kicked her to the ground that she stopped.
There were guests of the Li family waiting beside them, and the eldest lady was unwilling to delay and quickly made a verdict.
"Jiang family, if it weren't for my Hong family's benevolence and virtue, I would have killed you today, and it would be justified!"
Her voice was so loud that she was so frightened that the Jiang family's mother-in-law began to kowtow again, and blood soon drenched on her forehead.
"Fortunately, Brother Fan didn't do anything wrong, so he spared your life."
"Seek virtue, punish Jiang's for half a year, get out of the kitchen, and be a clean toilet woman."
The so-called toilet cleaner is the slave who cleans the toilet and thatched house, and it is the lowest-paid and dirtiest job in the Hong family.
"Brother Fan, this disposition may be to your liking?"
The eldest lady asked Hong Fan again.
"Madame is fair, Hong Fan has no objection."
Hong Fan saluted again, and didn't look at the Jiang family's mother-in-law who was soft on the ground.
He knew very well that today's disposition seemed harsh, but in fact it was raised high and gently put down.
Slavery and deception of the master, no matter which clan it is, is the greatest crime.
The punishment of the Jiang family's mother-in-law ended in the position of money, first, Hong Fan's own position was humble and powerless, and second, she was indeed a little decent above.
According to Aunt Liu, the two sons of the Jiang family can be regarded as the people around the two sisters-in-law of the Changfang.
Seeing that the matter had calmed down and Hong Fan was interested, the eldest lady was a little angry, and turned her head to reprimand the housekeeper and punished him for three months.
The latter, as the top boss of the Jiang family, could only bow his head and dare not make a sound.
A farce, and finally ended with the eldest lady's sincere care for Hong Fan.
It seems that the Hong family's house is still a mother and a son, and some turmoil is just the self-made assertion of the people below.
"I have no way to govern my family, so I let Gong Crane smile."
The eldest lady smiled again and laughed at herself.
"Our big clan has a wide range of protection, and it is inevitable that the mud and sand will fall."
Li Heming, who had been watching from the sidelines, replied with a light smile, and deliberately spoke to Hong Fan.
"It's really not easy to be treated so harshly by evil slaves, but still be able to maintain the reputation of the family wholeheartedly."
These words seem to be a reward, but when Hong Fan hears them, he always feels a sense of irony.
It's just that the irony is not him, but the Hong family.
As the backs of several bigwigs disappeared into the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard returned to its previous noise.
Most of the words are just discussing what has just happened.
On the flowing water seat, anyone with a little experience can see the undercurrent between the "mother and son".
If it is really a mother and a son, does the complaint need to wait until today?
Hong Fan himself is naturally the most clear about this.
From now on, he can be sure that not only will there be no discount on his daily diet, but it will even be much better than the normal standard.
Otherwise, the Hong Chen family will definitely not be able to escape the notoriety of treating the concubine harshly.
But all this, of course, does not come without a price.
Today's lost face will inevitably be pierced in Hong Chen's heart like a thorn, and it will erupt in a short time.
After thinking about it for a moment of silence, Hong Fan suddenly noticed that Hong Fu, who was sitting next to him, had been staring at him fixedly for a long time, and even forgot to put the peeled shrimp in the bowl into his mouth.
That's his favorite.
"Hongfu, what do you think of me like this?"
Hong Fan asked with a smile.
"Ah, it's nothing, I just think that Brother Fan has been seriously injured, and the whole person is different."
Hong Fu scratched his head and replied.
"It's a little different."
Hong Fan nodded.
"In the past few days of being sick in bed, I have actually been reflecting."
"Reflect on my many shortcomings in dealing with people and clarifying my mind and mindfulness in the past few years."
As he spoke, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
"But I have to admit that in the past, there was one thing that I could see very clearly."
"What's the matter?"
Hong Fu asked curiously.
"That's the man standing on his own - in this Jinhai City, there is only the word martial arts!"
Hong Fan sighed softly, and no longer cared about the plausible bright moon, he only opened his hand to pick up a piece of hooves and chewed happily.
As the scent of salt and grease permeated his lips and teeth, he finally put aside the pros and cons that were entangled.
Heal well, practice martial arts well.
As for the future, it is nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water is coming to cover it.
PS: I didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, I knocked a pill of sleeping pills, and I got up late today......
