Chapter 21 Settlement

Wu felt a little alert in his heart, and for some reason, he always felt a frizzy feeling.

The mother-in-law handed over the rights of the Xue family house to her, and she arranged all the apps of this ancestral home.

If the mother-in-law pursues the matter and seizes the power of the housekeeper, her life will not be easy in the Xue family in the future.

However, soon, Wu's worry was suppressed. She thought of Xu's mother. Even if she really pulled something out, Xu's mother could still hold on.

Thinking of this in my heart, I finally felt relieved and my expression became relaxed.

Xue Ling stood aside and silently observed the expressions of everyone.

The second aunt Wu's expression was the most obvious.

From the beginning to the ease behind, extremely subtle changes fell in Xue Ling's eyes.

Now she is very sensitive to this small change in expression, and she seems to be able to feel the slope of Wu's mood change.

But this is just the beginning.

People's hearts cannot control, but she can control the direction of the situation.

As for Mrs. Qiu, her expression was as calm as watching the show from beginning to end.

Xue Ling nodded secretly. The third aunt was indeed very thoughtful. Now she didn't want to turn against Qiu.

Her eyes turned to Old Lady Xue.

Old Mrs. Xue just glanced at Jiang Yue and said nothing, then said to Wu, "There are certain rules for what to buy. Discuss with your sister-in-law to see what needs to be added or reduced."

This is a big deal.

Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for someone to go and buy it.

Xue Ling naturally expected that Mrs. Xue was born into a direct line and married into the Xue family to host the gift for decades. She was like a big shot. Even if she lost her son in her later years, she could endure the overall situation. At this time, her grandmother naturally would not focus on other trivial matters.

But such a thing is not a trivial matter for Xue Ling.

Wu deducted money and was not good at it. The mother who was harmed in the previous life passed away early. She also used the same trick again in this life, so she could not spare it easily.

Xue Ling stood up, "Grandmother, yesterday, Xu's mother made a list and listed the application items. My mother had no money at hand, otherwise she would have completed it. Later, Xu's mother said that the funeral ceremony should not be paid by her mother, so she gave up the matter. Now, the second aunt is tired and she is really sorry for her."

Qiu couldn't help but look at Xue Ling, with a naive look, word by word, but it had a deep meaning. Qiu was a little surprised. However, she immediately took the conversation and said, "A Ling is really a child. Of course, the sister-in-law shouldn't have paid for this funeral. Xu's mother is an old man in the mansion. She must understand this principle. How could she make a list for her sister-in-law to buy it? Besides, the sister-in-law has no money at hand, which is even more strange."

Old Mrs. Xue was thinking.

The room was surprisingly quiet, and Wu secretly hated that Qiu did it on purpose.

In a hurry, Wu decided to change the topic, "That is, although our Xue family is not a wealthy family, he has never lacked money. My sister-in-law must be because she treats people privately and is worried that her mother-in-law will blame her, so she will tell them out first. My sister-in-law is the most sensible and will never blame you for no reason."

This speech was indeed a bit sharp. It directly brought the matter aside and couldn't wait to convict Jiang Yue.

Old Mrs. Xue indeed coughed gently, "Since there is no charcoal, let's arrange it. Go and buy everything you should buy. Madam Qiu, go and help arrange it."

Xue Ling lowered her head. Her grandmother didn't want to talk about her mother's visit, so she wanted to skip it. However, her current idea was to seize the right of Wu's housekeeper. Even if her grandmother didn't want to mention it, she had to mention it.

Xue Ling forced two tears out of the corner of her eyes, and looked at the old lady Xue and said, "Grandma, it's very cold here, everything is in short supply. In order to make my sister and I suffer less, my mother often visits for treatment. If she gets more and more angry today, she can't go to the hospital. She doesn't have enough money and doesn't even have charcoal. Will it be better if she returns to the Xue family?"

Wu's face gradually froze.

The eyes of Xue Ling began to be unfriendly.

Although Xue Ling did not have any special references, anyone could hear that, which means that Wu deducted daily expenses.

Wu looked at Jiang Yue deeply. She underestimated the eldest sister-in-law and asked the child to say this.

The topic was brought up again, and this time it was naturally impossible to avoid it.

Mrs. Qiu was not worried about the big deal when watching the fun, and took the initiative to break the silence, "Although our Xue family is not a wealthy family, the family has enough food and clothing. Why did A Ling say such sad words? Are you living a hard life?"

Old Mrs. Xue didn't say a word, but just glanced at Wu, waiting for an explanation.

Wu quickly calmed down and said, "I distributed it according to the previous cost. My sister-in-law didn't say enough, and mother Xu didn't say anything to me either."

Xue Ling was waiting for this sentence, "Grandmother, the money sent to the mansion is not enough. My mother has never known how to complain. Before her father passed away, she held my hand and said that we orphans and widows, and we don't know how to live our future life."

When Xue Ling mentioned her father, Old Mrs. Xue could no longer hold back. She looked at Jiang Yue, "Is what A Ling said true? Are you living in financial difficulties? Why have you never heard from Xu's mother?"

Old Mrs. Xue immediately thought of Mama Xu, and seemed to understand that this person could not trust him, so she didn't say anything further.

Old Mrs. Xue didn't ask Wu, and Wu felt a little panicked, "Mother-in-law, I."

Old Mrs. Xue raised her hand and stopped Wu's words.

"Jiang, you said."

Jiang Yue stepped forward and thought slightly, "A Ling is right. When we came to our ancestral home, I didn't carry much money with me. My mother-in-law, the monthly payment sent by the mansion was indeed not enough to maintain daily expenses. I always thought that this was what my mother-in-law meant."

Old Mrs. Xue's expression changed.

Wu said, "My sister-in-law is rich in dowry and has plenty of money. Now she is talking about these things, no one believes it?"

Jiang Yue continued, "I have a generous dowry, so the Xue family will deduct my daily expenses? Mother-in-law, I remember that the Xue family has no such precedent."

Jiang Yue had a kind of momentum and became aggressive, but Wu had no power to refute.
