Chapter 77

"Butler, put away this box of toys and give them a reward."

Tang Shunyan acted generously and gave the toys in the small box to the housekeeper, fearing that the fourth child would come and snatch them away again.

"Yes, young master." The housekeeper took out a small bag of money from his arms and wanted to give it to Mr. Li.

Ye Shiqi quickly collected the money from the housekeeper into the space, and put it into her pocket to cover up.

Lai wanted to grab it but it was too late, and she felt so sorry. That bag of money must have been a lot of money! In addition, she thought that it would not be too late to search after these people left. What she was thinking about at this moment was Li's monthly money.

"Ms. Li, where is your monthly payment for working in the Tang family?"

Mrs. Li had already received her monthly payment yesterday, and the eldest lady also rewarded her with some money. This time she brought so many people to Bu Shen Village, and it was inconvenient for the carriage driver to stop in her natal village.

The previous time he went home alone to visit relatives, he could order the carriage driver. If the carriage driver agreed, he could stop anywhere as long as he returned to the Tang family at a suitable time.

Today is different. There is a eldest mistress and a housekeeper. She cannot embarrass the coachman and is afraid that stopping in too many places will attract the attention of thieves and hurt the young master.

She missed her mother's family whom she hadn't seen for more than two months, but she didn't dare to do anything wrong and keep the monthly money separately from the eldest lady's reward.

"Mother-in-law, this is my monthly payment for this month."

Lai's face showed a joyful smile, and his fat body was very flexible when taking the money. He took the money in his hand, felt the weight of the silver, and quickly put it in his pocket.

She didn't dare to show her money in front of so many years. If someone among these guests robbed her money, she wouldn't be able to get it back.

Lai is usually overbearing at home and in the village, but when she meets a servant from a wealthy family, she will talk down to her, and a sense of inferiority spreads in her heart.

These days, her son has made some money and has gained enough confidence, but it is not enough for her to behave arrogantly when facing the servants of a wealthy family.

Xiuzhi felt someone pulled her sleeve. When she saw that it was the maid Mei Zhi pulling her sleeve, she didn't respond. Why did the maid Mei Zhi pull her sleeve?

When the maid Mei Zhi saw that Xiuzhi was so stupid, she didn't want to take action herself. The housekeeper was watching and whispered in Xiuzhi's ear: "Xiuzhi, Mrs. Li didn't give her mother-in-law the money that the eldest lady rewarded her."

After hearing what the maid Mei Zhi said, Xiuzhi suddenly had an idea and said with a smile:

"Auntie, your daughter-in-law is very capable in the Tang family. She often gets rewards from the eldest lady. Yesterday, the eldest lady also saved money for the Li family. She also has the trust of the young master. This time she has brought a lot to your family.

one's gift."

Mr. Lai had just received the money. When he heard Xiuzhi's words, his smile faded. He stared at Mr. Li with stern eyes and said:

"Well, Mr. Li, you won't pay the reward to the public even if you get the reward. If this girl hadn't told us that we were all kept in the dark and you went to the Tang Mansion to work as a servant, would it be easy for us to take care of your children day and night? Give us the money quickly.

Hand it over."

"Mom...you've gone too far." Hongji couldn't see his mother scolding his daughter-in-law like this. He knew that his daughter-in-law had the same thoughts as him, and besides, it was he, not the mother, who had the hard work of taking care of the children day and night.

"Acer... How can you help Mrs. Li if she doesn't obey her?" Ms. Lai was stamping her feet, her fat body bouncing, but she saw so many people in the yard looking at her, instead of splashing on the ground like usual.

"Mother-in-law, we have never saved any money. We don't have a single coin on our bodies. I want to give the reward I get to my husband. He will look after the children in the house."

Mrs. Li had long known that bringing the people around the young master back would make things difficult for her. The two maids around the young master often made trouble for her, and she was tired of them over and over again.

Others have such deep roots in the Tang family. As an outsider, she cannot shake them, let alone punish them. She can only endure it again and again.

"My wife is right. Neither of us has saved a single copper. These days, all the money I earn from carving is given to my mother, and the money my wife earns is also given to my mother. My mother should not put too much pressure on us. We

I still have several children to raise.”

Acer didn't care that it was in front of outsiders, and contradicting his mother would lead to a reputation of being unfilial, but he still defended his wife in front of these people.

"I don't care, you are raising children? Isn't the food provided by the father-in-law?" Mrs. Lai has a habit of being domineering and majestic in this family. Mrs. Li has always been so obedient. Now, to compete with her majesty, she has to suppress her in front of outsiders.

Live with my wife.

Mrs. Li looked at her husband in embarrassment. She didn't want him to make it difficult for her to make sandwich cakes, so she took out the reward money.

A proud smile appeared on Lai's face. Just like before, if she made trouble, her daughter-in-law and son would definitely obey her orders.

Mrs. Li took out the money, and Acer shook his head sadly, knowing that his wife was doing it for him, and felt that he was really useless, and that her wife was compromising for him.

Xiuzhi and maid Mei Zhi also had proud smiles on their faces. They kept fighting with Mr. Li, and they were happy as long as Mr. Li was sad or unlucky.

The housekeeper looked at him thoughtfully, as the guard hadn't married yet so he didn't think much about it.

Mrs. Pan just shook her head, she couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.

Ye Shuzhi and Ye Shuzhen's eyes were not on their mother and sister-in-law at this time, their eyes were on the guards and the gifts they carried down.

Tang Shunyan blinked. He was still young and didn't know what was going on here. He only knew that the nanny was sad.

The fourth baby hugged his mother's legs and comforted her in this way.

Ye Shiqi moved very quickly, snatching the money from Li's hand and putting it into the space.

Ms. Li had been squatting and hugging her two children just now. She didn't expect that her younger daughter would take away the money in her hand, and she looked at her with a blank expression.

This sudden change made everyone in the yard stare blankly at Mrs. Li and the little girl in her arms.

"Okay, you lose money, you actually stole money, you don't learn well at such a young age."

Lai was angered. This little doll challenged her majesty in front of everyone.

She felt that others were looking at her jokes. How old was she when she was trying to steal money from her? How could she pay it back when she grew up?

He stretched out his hand to hit Ye Shiqi.

"You can't hit the little sister..." Tang Shunyan ran over to stop her.

"Young Master, be careful..."

The voices of maids, wives, housekeepers and guards sounded loudly in the yard.

Lai didn't dare to move. Her hand was grabbed by the guard's hand and she couldn't move.

The housekeeper picked up Tang Shunyan. He couldn't let these people hurt the young master.

Mrs. Li even grabbed the two dolls, picked them up and walked away.

Ye Shiqi thought that Mr. Lai would never let her go, and the grandmother who had been the housekeeper's reward must also be thinking about it.

She used her mind to observe what money was in the two bags of reward money.
