Mrs. Han hugged Xiaocao's shoulders and continued, "When we proposed marriage to Yang'er, there were countless princesses and county heads from Qingliu, aristocratic families, nobles, and even royal family members. It's not like we wanted to talk to Yang'er.

They get married, but they want to get married with us.

Needless to say, Qingliu, and the aristocratic family is more concerned about Yang'er's future. Perhaps they believe that he can be famous all over the world. The reputation of nobles is actually not that good. Most people can regard them as warriors, nouveau riche, and mud-legged people.

Thinking about this, especially those who are bitter, think that there are many scum and dandies in noble families. This is not the case. Although there are some who have been here for several generations and are really not good, they are actually only a minority. Yang'er is helping

Their role in clearing away the stigma is very important, and as for the royal family members, there are very few people who can hold real power, so there may be various reasons for this.

Apart from these, for a woman, having a husband who is famous all over the imperial city and whose talents can crush countless people is, to put it crudely, externally, a very respectable thing.

I'm not saying that Miss Meng doesn't like to go out. Otherwise, just because she is Yang'er's fiancée, I'm afraid she will be targeted by many people and criticized in various ways.

Because of Mr. Meng, the girls of the Meng family are indeed very capable. However, for the grandchildren, it depends on their parents. After all, Mr. Meng is so old. If the person is gone, what will he have in his hands?

How many of your connections can fall into the hands of younger generations? It’s good to have one or two achievements. Really powerful people will not take the Meng family seriously. Most of the men of the right age who go to the Meng family are from poor families or

Regardless of family background, it is impossible to say that nine out of ten have a desire for power. I am not boasting. These people, no matter in every aspect, are far behind Yang'er."

Xiaocao used to live a simple life and had never encountered these things, so naturally she wouldn't even think about it. Now that her mother said this, she understood everything. In her eyes, her fourth child was "good for nothing", but in fact,

There are so many attractive things about him. If his parents were willing to use him for marriage, Wenren could really become a noble relative, but Wenren Taibo and Han both loved their sons.

Ah, it is simply a disaster.

"So, when we came to the Meng family, it was Miss Meng San who actually guided us?"

"Yes, tell me, regarding Miss Meng's situation, what would a completely uninformed person see it? To be honest, just because of Mrs. Meng's desire to hide it, I have the idea of ​​​​breaking off the engagement. Then Meng San

Girl, if you want to destroy your sister and replace her, even if you succeed, you don't want to think about whether I can look down on her." Han said with a sarcastic tone.

There were so many candidates for daughter-in-law, but she singled out Meng Xinlan, naturally because she felt that Meng Xinlan was suitable for her son. Meng Xinyao was nothing, and without Meng Xinlan, she would never be the same.

"Mrs. Meng's original intention must be to keep the matter under wraps. Miss Meng San knows the true situation of her cousin, so she invites her mother to visit her at this time, so she is not afraid of any eventuality? Isn't the right approach not to wait until Miss Meng is ruined?

"Rong, did you reveal the matter only after the dust has settled? With such a design, you don't look like such a brainless person."

"Probably her marriage is about to be decided and she can't wait any longer. Who knows the details? It's a family matter of the Meng family and has nothing to do with us." Han said casually, even if Meng Xinlan didn't get married.

Wenren's door is not Wenren's family. Even if the plot succeeds in the end this time, she won't care one bit more.

It has to be said that Han is definitely a boss-level figure in the back house. She can see through many things at a glance. She basically guessed everything Meng Xinyao did.

Xiaocao can actually feel her mother's indifference to the outside world to some extent, but if you think about it seriously, this seems to be human nature, and everyone pays attention to family scandals not to be spread outside. If you want to pay more attention, others may think you are nosy, right?

He was laughing at the joke and became angry, especially for a person like Mr. Meng, who has been noble all his life and has more face than ordinary people.

Xiaocao's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't feel that her mother had done anything wrong. Therefore, she might also be indifferent in nature. She was really interested in Meng Xinlan and she really loved Wujiwu.

Since I was bitten by a poisonous insect, I was able to prescribe the medicine in one go, so I didn’t even have to make another trip.

Slowly and leisurely I returned to Wenren's house. It was not too early now, it was already half afternoon.

After sitting down and taking a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, someone came to the Han family's yard in an aggressive manner.

Xiaocao listened to the voice of their fourth aunt, Ge Shi. This fourth aunt spoke normally and had a strange tone from time to time. After all, she still had the characteristics of a lady. Like now, she was noisy and loud.

It seemed that the whole yard was about to be torn down. This was really the first time, and the trouble reached the main yard of the main house. With the words "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?", it was obviously directed at her mother, and doubts appeared in Xiaocao's eyes.

, turned his head and glanced at Han.

Han was calm and composed, and even seemed to have a sense of understanding, as if he was waiting for the other party to come to his door.

Mrs. Han looked at Xiaocao and smiled, "The monthly exam was issued today."

The monthly plan naturally includes not only the monthly payment but also a host of other things.

So, this monthly pattern is different from the past. Is it because the hair is less or something else?

Ge Shi had already rushed in regardless of the obstruction, and stood in front of Han Shi, like an angry lioness, with anger in her eyes, let alone expect her to receive a greeting.

"What's wrong with the fourth brother and sister? Who has offended you when you are so angry? Tell me slowly if you have anything to say. - Come here and serve tea."

"No need! Sister-in-law, let me ask you, why is the monthly payment so much less? The things are still of inferior quality. You are in charge of Zhonggui and are the mistress of the house. You actually deduct things from other houses like this. Do you deserve the trust of the old lady?

?" Ge's anger was accompanied by an uncontrollable excitement, and it felt as if she had finally caught Han's handle.

You know, not long after the Han family married into the Wen family, they had the power of the central government. The several sisters-in-law who married in later had no influence at all. The Ge family jumped up and down for a while at first, but the result was not only

Not being able to get any benefits, they still ate at the old lady's place and didn't dare to do anything else later. The other people were not like her, and they might have had some thoughts in their minds at first, but with Gemini as the vanguard, they were behind.

Can see the situation clearly.

"Oh, this is what the fourth brother and sister are talking about. There are many monthly routines. They are based on the old routine of the Wen family."

"Sister-in-law is quite capable of telling lies with open eyes."

"How could it be possible? Think about it, the fourth brother and sister, when you first got married, was the monthly price about the same as it is now? In ten or twenty years, things have basically stayed at the same price, so how come the monthly price is less? It's the same.

"Han held the tea and took a sip slowly.

Ge Shi couldn't quite remember how many things he had at that time, "Does it compare now to before? My sister-in-law is actually mentioning old almanacs from many years ago. Who are you fooling?"

Han smiled and said, "But the extra money later was all subsidized by my private affairs. If the fourth brother and sister don't believe it, you can check the account books. Over the years, it is all clear which ones were paid for by the public and which ones were subsidized by me."

It’s clear, but I don’t have that much money now, so I changed the monthly routine to the old routine.”

Han is rich. When she first married into the Wen family, her personal property was not much less than that of the entire Wen family. In addition, he was good at business management. Over the past 20 years, he had spent countless amounts on her husband and children.

It's still increasing instead of decreasing. She doesn't value money very much, because under the same roof, if their big house lives too well, trouble will inevitably arise, so Han doesn't mind relaxing her fingers and giving the other houses a little more.

, but some people took her things and were ungrateful. Instead, they arranged for her daughter to be so embarrassed that she is not willing to give it to her now.

Ge Shi was like a duck that had been strangled by the neck. She was silent immediately. After a long while, Ge Shi said in disbelief, "Is what sister-in-law said true?" This woman is really so generous with her own things.

The whole family?

"Ah, the account books are here. I heard that you don't know how much the father-in-law's output is, but the fourth child still knows how much."

Ge Shi naturally believed it. Han Shi had always done things flawlessly, so how could she suddenly make such a big mistake? Is there really such a fool as her? Her eyes were red with jealousy. I am afraid that this sister-in-law's private property is...

There are more than expected. There are so many, but I only took out a small amount. Now I have to take back even this little thing. How can I say that I don’t have enough money? What a liar!

She pretends to be generous and thinks she is generous, but her true colors have not been revealed yet. How can such a hypocritical and pretentious woman be worthy of being the grandmother of a Wen family? If you have the ability, keep being generous!

Obviously, Ge Shi has forgotten that she has been enjoying the benefits given by the Han family, but she knows nothing about it. If the Han family is pretending, will she not let her know? On the one hand, she thinks she is a fool, and on the other hand, she wants everyone to take everything away.

Just take it out, something.

It is impossible for Ge to interfere with the Han family's private property. She refused to take it out. Ge was naturally helpless. Even if he brought trouble to the old lady, she would only be the one to take the lead. After all, no matter who the Han family is missing, it will be the same.

Moreover, the old lady was not very greedy for material things. The old lady never asked about other people’s poverty issues, which also proved that the Han family had never made any mistakes.

"Even so, the quantity is not right."

"How could it be wrong? Everyone has a share in the master of each house, the famous aunt, and the servants who are within the fixed number. As for the people who are not in the fixed number, according to the old practice, each house should pay for their own maintenance.

, I don’t have enough money, I can’t help you raise them, so in the future, you can only raise the remaining people by your own houses.” Han’s smile was full of warmth, but there was no trace of it.

apology.

Ge's face became extremely ugly. Her husband was a womanizer, and he had many famous aunts who gave birth to children, and the people who served them were basically all above the limit. These many

It is actually self-evident as to what it is used for.

The so-called son resembles his father. Wenren Ji Li's sons also have this problem to some extent. Although it is not obvious due to family tradition, there are naturally people around him who are not in the fixed number.

Gurdjieff himself is also a person who enjoys himself, perhaps because he doesn't have it, and he doesn't want to lose face. He is fastidious, poor, and likes to show off, and he has more than a certain number of people to serve around him, not just one or two.

This amount adds up——

Ge Shi immediately decided that after returning, she would immediately send away those who were beyond the quota and send them all to Zhuangzi. By then, these people would no longer be under her control. As for herself, she had not thought about laying off people.

It's just a monthly fee, and the first class is reduced to the second class, and the second class is reduced to the third class, and the cost is less. Even so, when thinking of what the second bedroom got today, Ge's face was still terrifyingly gloomy, "Sister-in-law, you

It’s really good!”

Han's smile did not change and she nodded matter-of-factly, "As a sister-in-law, I naturally want to be nice to you."

Ge was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left.

But Han's smile became more and more genuine.

Comparing the Han family and the Ge family, the combat power is really not at the same level. Xiaocao silently looked away, the blanket on the ground was very nice.

When Mrs. Han saw Xiaocao's appearance, she smiled and said, "Xuan'er doesn't want to ask my mother why she has reduced her monthly salary."

"Mom naturally has her own reasons for doing this. You are the mistress of the house, so these are all your final say." In this kind of matter, of course, I will definitely stand on my mother's side.

"Xuan'er is right, you don't have to worry about these things." She will hurt anyone who dares to arrange for her daughter.

As for Ge's troubles, the other houses soon knew about it, or in other words, they had been waiting for it for a long time. They had already expected this when they got the monthly diary for this month.

The second and fifth bedrooms didn't have much reaction. The Du family in the second bedroom was also rich. Although it was much worse than the Han family, the subsidy from the Han family was dispensable to them and had no impact at all. How was it before?

It will be the same in the future, but for the five-room house, firstly, there are few people, and there are not even a fixed number of people to serve, but the monthly payment is based on a fixed number, and although the Yan family's private property is not rich, it is not thin, so it will not have an impact.

The two sisters-in-law also sighed, it was indeed the sister-in-law's style of dealing with people, and it was simply a waste of blood.

Well, the situation of the third-bedroom apartment is not much different from that of the fourth-bedroom apartment except for those who have a fixed number. However, compared to the Ge family, the Zhang family is not so particular, and they are not as good at pretending to be fat and careful in budgeting. In the past, every month

There is still a lot left. Now, if you use it carefully, there will still be some leftover. Therefore, Mrs. Zhang sighed and ordered people to divide the things. She did not reveal what she was thinking in her heart.

In comparison, when Ge Shi saw the things delivered to the fourth room, she became more and more dissatisfied with them, and her lungs almost exploded with anger. She endured it again and again, so she did not smash anything. She smashed things last time, and she paid for a few more from her own pocket.

Part of it was because my husband had a violent attack. The rest was originally waiting to be replenished slowly from the father-in-law. Now, I am afraid that it will not be replenished in two years. If it is smashed again, this house will not be able to do anything.
