Chapter 39

· Falling ill

Mrs. Liang felt a cold sweat running down her spine, and her face turned pale with fright.

The confidant mother-in-law whispered from the side, "Even though the family has been divided, as long as the old lady is still alive, she can be the master of the family's affairs. She has lived to such a long age, just like an old goblin.

, maybe someone in the yard has been favored by her, and maybe he is loyal to her. She will naturally be unhappy if you go against her in such a big way."

Mrs. Liang held her hand tightly, "Am I not allowed to say a word in my own home? Do you know who is delivering the news? Kick me out immediately and don't let me go in this life."

See her again."

The confidant woman rolled her eyes and immediately swallowed the 'I don't know' that was on her lips. She pretended to sigh, "Since this person dares to do such a thing, he must be cautious. How could he let us catch him?

What? From the separation of the family to now, there haven’t been many new people in the yard until today. They have all been used for a long time.

I don't dare to doubt anyone rashly. But..." She deliberately prolonged her voice and said cautiously, "A few days ago, I saw Mrs. Zhang in the backyard asking her son to go to the old house. I didn't know what to do.

What's going on? I'm sure there's something wrong. Maybe I'm judging a gentleman with a villain's heart."

My confidant, my mother-in-law, has other plans in mind.

Now that Mrs. Liang is the head of the family, this woman relies on the fact that she is from Mrs. Liang's natal family, and thinks that others should respect her more as the tide rises. However, Mrs. Zhang in the backyard has a stubborn and wooden temperament. Every time she meets her, she has nothing nice to say.

, relying on oneself

As an old man in the house, he always antagonizes her intentionally or unintentionally. His confidant mother-in-law has long disliked her, so he took this opportunity to use Mrs. Liang's hands to repair her and teach other people in the house a lesson.

Know who can be offended and who cannot be offended.

If this matter had been left to normal, Mrs. Liang would definitely have noticed this little trick of her confidant mother-in-law at a glance. However, she was anxious, hateful, resentful and angry at the moment. How could she have time to think about the relationship? Gritting her teeth.

He ordered, "Drive Mrs. Zhang's family out immediately. If anyone dares to say a word, drive them out together!"

The confidant's mother-in-law got her instructions and ran out to make arrangements.

Mrs. Liang was lying on the bed, staring weakly and sulking.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhang and her family had just been kicked out of the house in tears, and before she could scream a few times, the nun next to Mrs. Dong who came over with the news took her back to Dong's house in a carriage, and arranged

Working in the back garden was not only easier than working in the fourth room, but the wages doubled. It made some of the servants who stayed in the fourth room so jealous that they wished they could make some mistakes and be kicked out.

When Mrs. Liang got the news, she fell on the bed and clutched her chest and screamed "Ouch". The confidant woman beside her was so frightened that she lost her mind and invited her children over.

Then he sent someone to find Dong Yuluo's father, but the servant in the house came back and said that Dong Yuluo's father had been invited by friends to drink on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Mrs. Liang couldn't breathe, so she beat her chest and said, "Where are Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wu? Are they dead? They know that I am sick and uncomfortable, but they don't even say hello?"

The confidant mother-in-law hurriedly asked people to call, and soon someone came back and replied, "Aunt Zhou is talking in Aunt Wu's room while embroidering. Knowing that Madam is not feeling well, Aunt Wu said that she would not come over because it would be an eyesore. She was afraid that Madam would be more upset if she saw them.

Huo Da. He also said that if you are not feeling well, you should call a doctor. Even if you call them over, they don’t know how to feel your bones and diagnose your pulse, but they can chant a few Buddhist scriptures."

Generally, people only ask people to recite sutras when there is a funeral.

Ever since Aunt Wu was admitted, she relied on Dong Yuluo's father's favor to practice Tai Chi with Mrs. Liang. Aunt Wu was also a smart person, and she established a good relationship with Aunt Zhou within two days.

She was completely defeated and was no match for her, so the two of them had even less respect for her.

Mrs. Liang was so angry that she fainted. Her confidant, her mother-in-law, screamed, went up to pinch him, and ordered someone to call the doctor.

In the evening, Dong Yuluo's father returned to his house drunk. Before he could enter the house, he was pulled back to his room by Aunt Wu who was waiting there. Mrs. Liang had no chance to say a few words to him.

A few days later, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother all knew that Mrs. Dong was fighting against the fourth brother for Dong Yuluo's dowry. She also secretly intercepted the business of the fourth brother and the several shops that the fourth brother had acquired when the family was divided.

A recent business

No, the shopkeeper was so worried that Dong Yuluo’s father was a heartless boss. He still walked the birds and drank wine every day, and didn’t take it seriously. Mrs. Liang was sick again, and everyone in charge of the fourth house was worried.

No.

And Mrs. Liang's angrily words about "let the third-in-law go to the shop to fill in the cash" also spread out somehow. After hearing about it, the eldest master said to the eldest lady at the dinner table, "The fourth daughter-in-law gave me a proposal."

Wake up, I have lost all these years

Yuluo must fulfill his filial piety to his mother, so that I can let go of my hands and toss outside. Now that Yuluo is getting married, I, as an uncle, must show my gratitude at all costs. Later, I will find two shops with good profits and contract them.

Send it to mother personally."

The eldest lady has always obeyed the eldest master. Not only was she not unhappy at all, but she also said, "Yu Luo is a filial child and is close to you. That winter, when my mother was angry and punished you because of the accounting problem, she ran over to give you a punishment."

The favor you asked for. Because I was impatient, I only wore a single coat on such a cold day. Mom, look at it.

She was so distressed that she asked you to kneel in the ancestral hall. She also gave you a thick mat, just in case your knees couldn't bear it. I have always remembered this feeling. Now that she has a good family, I am also happy. I was

When I got married, my mother-in-law gave me a set of ruby ​​jewelry as a dowry. I am too old to wear it, so I should give it to her as well."

The eldest man smiled and said to the eldest lady, "Thank you for your generosity. If you are willing, just find it. I will bring back the contract of the shop later, and you can give it to mother."

This is an opportunity for the eldest lady to show her face to Mrs. Dong.

The doctor said, "Looking at what you said, why should I be reluctant to part with you? You are a hard-working and capable person, and the profit of the shop is good. If I want anything from you in the future, can you still lose me?"

The eldest master liked hearing this, so he got together with the housekeeper and the big shopkeeper that day to find two shops with good profits, sorted out the contracts and sent them to the eldest lady. The eldest lady did not dare to delay, and quickly went to Mrs. Dong.

There, he explained his purpose and handed all the things into Mrs. Dong's hands.

Mrs. Dong was extremely satisfied with this. Not only did she happily accept the things, she also gave a set of emerald jewelry to the eldest lady. The set of jewelry was exquisitely handmade and much more presentable than the one the eldest lady took out.

He happily took his things and returned to his house.

When the second and third bedrooms saw it, they immediately found two shops to deliver it to them.

When the news reached the fourth room, Mrs. Liang was as lethargic as if she had been boiled by water. She held the edge of the bed and said bitterly, "There are a bunch of people who change their rudders when the wind comes, and none of them is a good person! The old lady is determined not to force us to go bankrupt."

Don’t give in! Go and ask the Fourth Master to come back and ask him to quickly find two shops and I will deliver them to the old lady myself!”

The servant ran out to look for him, and came back after a while to report, "The concierge said that the master was invited by the two masters next door to listen to the monk's sermon at Hanshan Temple. He may not come back until tomorrow..."

Mrs. Liang picked up the medicine bowl at hand and smashed it out, "I am the only one in the family who is worried, the others are just decorations, and no one can help!"

The little girl heard these words outside the door and secretly spread them to Aunt Wu's yard.

Aunt Wu, who was drinking tea with Aunt Zhou, heard this and sneered, "She is the only capable person in the family. If she doesn't work hard, who will? It's better for the dominatrix to die from exhaustion. Everyone will have a good life."

Aunt Zhou then laughed.
