Aunt Cui's attempt to scare the snake away was indeed effective. Zhang could no longer maintain the majestic and just look of the patriarch's wife, and her sharp eyes seemed to pierce through people.
Aunt Cui didn't take it for granted and asked calmly: "By the way, sister-in-law, is our five-bedroom Qingfeng Garden still there?"
The young woman sitting on Zhang's side showed an uncomfortable look on her face. This person is Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhang. She is Zhang's niece.
Mrs. Zhang didn't feel guilty at all, and said: "Fifth brother and sister, your Qingfeng Garden has been vacant for many years. You don't know when you can return to the clan, so I decided to let Brother Ming live in the courtyard. Although our ancestral house is large,
But the children and grandchildren are flourishing, and the courtyard is no longer enough for living, so there is absolutely no reason to leave the courtyard vacant."
Aunt Cui had expected it and was not surprised. She showed a hint of ridicule on her face: "Since there is no room for our five rooms in the ancestral house, we don't have to cause trouble to my sister-in-law. We won't be able to live there for long.
Just find a house outside to live in."
She originally had a dowry house, but she was expelled from the Cui family and the dowry had been taken back by the Wang family, so she could only rent a house to live temporarily.
Mrs. Zhang's face changed: "Fifth brother and sister, what are you talking about? You have finally come back to the Cui family. If you go out to live outside, wouldn't it mean that someone would poke my spine? There is no way to let Brother Ming live in Qingfeng Garden.
, there is still an empty Lesongyuan at home, wouldn’t it be suitable for you to move in, and be your brother’s neighbor?”
The so-called Lesong Courtyard is the courtyard used by the Cui family to entertain visitors. It is not very large. Although it is big enough for their family of three to live in, it still seems cramped. The most important thing is that it is inconvenient to get in and out, and every move is made by outsiders.
Under surveillance, it was clear that Mr. Zhang had "good intentions."
Aunt Cui said calmly: "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness. It's no need. Lesong Courtyard is narrow and cold. I'm not in good health and it's not suitable for living. Let's rent a yard outside."
Ms. Liu took the opportunity and said: "Fifth sister-in-law doesn't need to rent a yard. I have a dowry yard in the neighborhood next door. If you don't mind it, you can live in it for now."
"That's fine, thank you sixth brother and sister."
Seeing them deciding where to stay in a few words, Ms. Zhang was so angry that she was livid, but she was wrong in the first place and couldn't even say a word of rebuttal - Qingfengyuan originally belonged to the fifth house, and she let her son occupy it. If word spread, it would be
To poke people in the spine.
She looked extremely ugly and said forbearingly: "Fifth brother and sister, why should we sacrifice the near and far away? Since you are not satisfied with Lesongyuan, I will ask the Ming brothers to move out."
Little Zhang had a look of reluctance and stared at Ye Zhenzhen with hostility, obviously thinking that they were robbers who were robbing her things.
Ye Zhenzhen directly gave Qi Le, this family is really a virtuous person, they are shameless and invincible in the world.
Aunt Cui patted the back of her hand comfortingly and glanced at little Zhang. Her eyes were clear and quiet, but with wisdom and insight into things. Little Zhang suddenly felt embarrassed and embarrassed as if her clothes had been taken off, and her face suddenly changed.
It turned red.
She relied on her mother-in-law's prestige to dominate the family, and received mostly awe, courtesy and flattery. She had never been so despised by others. She felt uncomfortable and blurted out: "Mom, why do you want us to help you? Fifth Aunt.
He and his ninth brother have all been expelled from the family. It stands to reason that they are no longer members of the Cui family, so why should they be allowed to live in the Cui family's house?"
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Zhang's face turned red with anger. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law, who usually seemed a bit clever, would actually say such a thing. Although she thought so in her heart, if she said it openly, it would be traced to others. If it were spread, wouldn't it mean that someone would
An orphan and widowed mother who accuses Dafang of bullying her dead brother?
It's also her fault that she spoiled little Mrs. Zhang rotten, so that she didn't know what to do and ruined the big thing. She wanted to say something else: "Fifth younger brother and sister, don't argue with little Mrs. Zhang, she is just outspoken and unhesitating..."
"No need to explain."
Aunt Cui was obviously very angry and interrupted her without regard for etiquette, "Since my niece-in-law doesn't welcome us, there is no need for us to stay here and cause trouble. She is right, we are no longer Cui
Where is the family? Mrs. Cui, please take your leave."
She didn't even call her sister-in-law anymore, coldly bowed out, took Ye Zhenzhen's hand and walked out.
Everyone in the flower hall looked at each other, and the atmosphere was so embarrassing that it was almost suffocating. Even Mrs. Lu did not dare to touch Mrs. Zhang's brow at this time, and was as quiet as a quail.
Only Mrs. Liu smiled mockingly and took her daughter's hand to say goodbye, "Sister-in-law, although Fifth Sister-in-law and Brother Zhen were expelled from the family, they are still Fifth Brother's widow and son. The blood of these direct relatives is real, but
I really can't be so heartless. Anyway, I recognize Fifth Sister-in-law and her friends. She still needs my help in settling her now, so I'll take the first step."
The insinuations and sarcasm made Ms. Zhang unable to get off the stage. She felt as if she was being publicly executed on a high platform. There were mocking and contemptuous looks from all around, pointing and poking at her spine.
The sister-in-law who is a concubine still cares about the flesh and blood relationship. The eldest and fifth brothers are brothers from the same mother, but she is forced to have an orphan and a widowed mother who cannot return home. Isn't it vicious?
The blood on her face instantly faded away. She gave little Zhang a hard look and ordered the nanny beside her, "Quickly, go and invite the fifth lady back! Someone, go and clean up Qingfeng Garden.
Return five rooms."
The servants took action after hearing the order. Xiao Zhang immediately became anxious and asked: "Mother, if you drive us out of Qingfeng Garden, where will we live?"
Qingfengyuan is the courtyard with the best view besides the big house. She has lived there for several years and has regarded it as her own place. Now that she wants to move out, she feels a hundred reluctances.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her coldly and said: "Wherever I lived before, I will live now. Why, the master is used to the courtyard, and now he doesn't want to give in to the wing?"
Because she was angry and she was talking nonsense, Ms. Zhang's tone was very harsh. This was something she had never done before. Ms. Zhang immediately panicked and did not dare to show any reluctance anymore. She quickly said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to move."
It’s a lively time to live in my mother’s yard. Sister, I’ll do some needlework with you in the future.”
She smiled flatteringly at Cui Qingzhi, but Cui Qingzhi didn't give her any face at all. She snorted coldly, with a look of boredom on her cute and charming face, clearly disdainful of this sister-in-law.
Little Zhang was displeased and secretly scolded this arrogant sister-in-law. Others were just innocent of this young lady, so how could they know how cold and vicious she was? The so-called coquettishness was just a deceptive mask.
