After Zhou said this, she stared at Qiao Yuyan with her eyes. She wanted to see what Qiao Yuyan was going to do.
If the food is brought out, you can just let it go and let everyone eat it up together, and then we will be finished together.
If she doesn't take it out, can she be let go?
So, it depends on whether she took it out on her own initiative or was forced to take it out.
Sure enough, there was a commotion inside and outside, and everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Yuyan.
Although the voice was not loud, every sentence was accusing her of hiding her food.
Mrs. Wen did not look at Qiao Yuyan, but looked at Mrs. Wen crying, waiting for her to speak.
Old Mrs. Wen glanced at Aunt Xin, who immediately understood and cleared her throat gently, "Okay, since the matter has reached this point, let's just make it clear! Everyone, please calm down, it's so noisy,
Do you think the old lady is not sick enough?"
She is the most senior grandmother in Yi'anju, and even the head of the family, Wen Qionghe, has to lower his profile in front of her. After she opens her mouth, no one dares to speak again.
Old Mrs. Wen's eyes swept over the several daughters-in-law, and then she smiled sadly, "I didn't expect that I have lived for so many years, and today I have to mediate the fight for food among you."
This sentence made the faces of several people present turn red. Only Qiao Yuyan and Wenshi remained calm.
"You don't have to say so many gossips in front of me. Do you really think that I have been asleep and don't know what happened?"
Mrs. Wen was horrified. When she raised her eyes, she found her mother-in-law looking at her intensely. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head.
"As soon as the sixth daughter-in-law discovered that something was wrong outside, she immediately suggested that you break the food into parts and hide them separately. But you didn't listen. She was just trying to protect herself, but now she has to be criticized by you. It's really me Wen
Family tradition?”
Those who spoke just now lowered their heads slightly and did not dare to speak.
Ms. Zhou couldn't help but said, "Mother, you can't blame us for this! After all, my sister-in-law is the mistress of the house and has more knowledge than us. We usually listen to her on all matters in the house.
.
She said there was no need for it at the time, and she was right in her words. Naturally, we all believed her. The sixth brother and sister were young and talented. In comparison, the elder sister-in-law was naturally more trustworthy. What’s more, it was hard for us to refute the elder sister-in-law.
Isn’t it your face?!”
Mrs. Wen gritted her teeth when she heard this. You, Mrs. Zhou, have actually blamed all the faults. Now it is all her fault!
Mrs. Zhou said, "It's too late to regret it now, but there are so many people in our family, and we have to eat to save our lives. Old lady... I'd better ask you to make the decision?!"
What to do?
Didn't he just ask Qiao Yuyan to take out the things?
Mrs. Wen chuckled softly, "You all know that you are wrong. Now you don't even say a word of apology to your sixth daughter-in-law, and you don't even say a soft word. You just want her to take out all the things. I have survived like this.
After many years, this old face can’t spare it.”
Qiao Yuyan and Wenshi were both a little surprised. Although they knew that the old lady was on their side this time, they were still a little surprised by defending her so straightforwardly.
Mrs. Wen also knew that Mrs. Wen valued the family's reputation most, and the family's reputation was especially dominated by the eldest son. Therefore, even if Mrs. Wen did something inappropriate in some areas over the years, Mrs. Wen would defend her in front of others.
The dignity of being a matron of the house.
Such remarks today are indeed very rare.
Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Zhou and others were also a little surprised. Do you want them to say soft words to Qiao Yuyan and admit their mistake?
Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth. She had always been able to bend and stretch, but she just said a few words. Interest came first!
Unexpectedly, before she spoke, Old Mrs. Wen said: "But if my old lady doesn't say a word, you will think that I am cruel and not protecting you, so let's do this..."
She paused, which also made everyone else worried, wondering what she meant behind her words.
Mrs. Wen turned to Qiao Yuyan and Wen Shi despite the attention of everyone, "This thing belongs to you. You also made suggestions at the time. I shouldn't interfere.
But after all, we are a family, and they are all descended from me. I can't ignore it, so just for the sake of this, I ask you two to take care of everyone. But in the end, it is up to you to decide what to do. This is just my request.
.”
An elder's request is actually the lowest gesture.
It was impossible for Qiao Yuyan to refuse, and Mrs. Wen's previous words actually gave her more agency.
It's already reached this point, and it's hard to continue watching the show. What's supposed to come will still come.
Qiao Yuyan walked away from the bedside, walked directly to Mrs. Wen, and saluted Mrs. Wen above, "As everyone said, we are all the flesh and blood of the whole family. How can we watch our relatives starve to death?"
reason?"
Her words made the people present feel half depressed. In other words, she took out the food by herself.
Mrs. Zhou was secretly proud, so what if you, Mr. Qiao, have a little knowledge? Everyone is still the same?
Her own words saved her from having to show weakness to beg her!
Mrs. Wen also had a bit of relief in her eyes, "This is because you are broad-minded."
Qiao Yuyan shook her head, "But old lady, I can take out the food I originally prepared for myself, but I have to explain some things clearly."
Mrs. Wen immediately frowned. Qiao Yuyan was trying to decide what to say at this juncture. What kind of words could she say?!
However, Zhou's evasion left no room for her to speak at this time, and she could only watch Qiao Yuyan take Qiao.
"Say." Old Mrs. Wen's tone was calm.
"The old lady should know how many people there are in our country now. Not to mention that I only took my own share, which added up to a few kilo of food. Even if I took twice as much as I did at that time, it would not be enough to feed this large group of people."
It's hard to say, even."
Wen Qiongfei immediately said after hearing this: "At this time, do you still care about those people in the outer courtyard? They are all slaves of our family. We bought them with money. They should live and die for the master. Do you still want to fight with the master?"
Fighting for food?”
Qiao Yuyan didn't expect that this person could say such a thing so naturally. She couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at other people, she suddenly realized that many people inside and outside seemed to agree with this point of view.
She couldn't tell whether she should be angry or laughing, so she looked at Wen Qiongfei coldly, "Third brother, are you serious about what you said?"
The expression on Wen Qiongfei's face said it all, and Qiao Yuyan directly mocked: "Use your brain!"
