Mrs. Wen was startled by her sudden howl, and then she got angry. This Zhou family actually complained first. It was obviously their third room who got into trouble for no reason, and now she was crying.
Up.
As expected, this Zhou family comes from that kind of family and doesn't care about face at all.
There are so many servants here, as well as those aunts and young wives. She is so old, but she is shameless and cries whenever she wants, without losing her status.
But Mrs. Zhou didn't care, but Mrs. Wen couldn't ignore it like this. She could only say anxiously: "Mother Xin, how do you feel about the old lady now? Something has happened right now..."
"Oh! Old lady! Please open your eyes and take a look! We, the people you are descending from, are going to starve to death!"
Mrs. Zhou didn't care what Mrs. Wen had to say, she just howled at the top of her lungs, howling and winking at the aunts in her room, and her wailing cries immediately filled the yard.
Wen Qiongfei also started to shed tears and shouted loudly.
This really means that one family does not enter the same house. Qiao Yuyan has never seen such a scene in her two lifetimes. Just by listening inside, she can know what the situation is like outside.
When they cried, the aunts, girls and boys in the other rooms couldn't help but feel sad when they thought about the past days and compared the sufferings now.
No one in the whole yard was arguing anymore, everyone was crying.
Mrs. Wen is two older than the other. After all, she is still the head matron of the family. At this moment, it is as if all the people in the imperial court are asking for help.
She wanted to say a few harsh words to shock her, but her voice was immediately drowned out by the loud crying.
Mrs. Wen had no idea for a moment, so she could only stand aside and watch, supported by Sun's mother. But listening to the cries of those people, she felt so wronged that she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes.
Grandma Xin frowned and stood on the steps. She had no choice but to ask the little maid to take a tea cup out of the house and slam it on the ground.
This crisp sound finally suppressed the noise here. She looked at the people below with a livid face, "The old slave has just said that the old lady is still in bed and cannot be disturbed. You are crying here now."
Are you making trouble because you are looking forward to the old lady?"
Mrs. Wen quickly said: "Mama Xin is right. Third brother, what are your intentions? Have you even forgotten the basic filial piety?"
Zhou gritted her teeth, hating her to death that she was allowed to take the moral high ground.
She thought for a while and then said: "Mother Xin, we didn't mean to disturb the old lady. It's actually... As the saying goes, if things are not equal, they will fight. We are all blood relatives of the family, and we should respect each other, love each other, and live in harmony. Now
But some people are taking advantage of the little power they have and denying them food. We are forced and have no choice!"
This is why Mr. Zhou dared to speak directly at this time. The others in front of the old lady immediately lost the same hatred as they had in the big kitchen just now, and they all silently observed the next development of the matter.
Grandma Xin's eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Mrs. Wen. She then glanced at the couple in the third bedroom over there, and the couple in the fifth bedroom coming from a distance, "Old lady
It is inconvenient now. There are too many people in the house and the smell is strong, which is not conducive to recovery.
Since this matter has to be brought before the old lady, let the ladies come in! Do whatever the others should do."
Mrs. Zhou and Wen Qiongfei looked at each other, and then pushed each other towards the house. Mrs. Lin and Wen Qiongyu came in with suspicious looks.
Mrs. Wen walked towards Mrs. Wen's door alone with a frosty face.
Although Grandma Xin ordered everyone else to leave, she is now locked up here, so what else can she do? She can only sit there when she goes back to her room.
The most important thing on everyone's mind right now was the food issue. Seeing that a result would come out soon, anyone who wanted to leave stretched their necks to hear what was said inside.
When Mrs. Wen came in, the couple from the fifth room were already standing by the bed, asking Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Qiao about the old lady's health.
Ms. Zhou stood at the end of the bed, already complaining loudly, and she and Wen Qiongfei even performed on the spot and shed tears of grievance.
As for Qiao and Wen...
Mrs. Wen's eyes swept over the two people, and she felt even more resentful. These two people had escaped such a shameless thing today, and it was not because they had food in their hands and were not panicking.
When Mrs. Wen heard Mrs. Wen's voice of greeting, she opened her eyes. Instead of looking at Mr. Zhou, who was still complaining, she looked directly at Mrs. Wen, "What are you going to do about today's matter?"
I originally thought that the old lady should ask the whole story clearly before saying anything else, so Mrs. Wen had been thinking about how to answer.
Now that I was asked such a question, I was a little stunned for a moment. I was stunned for a moment, and then I came back to my senses with a slight cough prompted by Aunt Xin, "How...what should I do?"
What can she do? What happened today was clearly caused by the greed of the third room. It is the third room that needs to be held accountable.
As for the current situation, how does she know what to do?
It's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. There is only so little food, but there are so many people here. Even if she wants to keep everyone from hungry, she must have that ability.
Old Mrs. Wen was supported by Mrs. Lin and sat up halfway. Looking at Mrs. Wen's face, she sneered and said: "How many things are left, how many people are there in total, how many men, how many women, how many children, how many underneath, how many masters."
, how to ration it, how long it will take, the news from outside, etc., don’t you think you can count on it?”
After all, Old Mrs. Wen had not recovered yet. Although her words were harsh, her voice was weak. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cough.
But this does not mean that her words have no weight, it is clearly an accusation against Mrs. Wen that has no success at all.
Mrs. Zhou immediately sneered, "The old lady doesn't know yet! Our eldest lady actually always has the most ideas, but these ideas are all for her and her son. I'm afraid the life and death of other people will not be affected here."
In my wife’s heart.”
Mrs. Wen didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would dare to say such things in front of the old lady. She turned pale with anger and said, "Don't talk nonsense here and frame me at will!"
"Am I lying?!" Ms. Zhou immediately strode to the door, "Do you really think I have no evidence?"
