Qiao Yuyan paused while drinking tea, her expression remained normal, she just smiled lightly and said, "It's been a while since I saw my grandma, but there's nothing I can do about it.
She has a lot of things going on, and I can't get away from it. Fortunately, we often exchange letters, and she feels sorry for me and doesn't blame me for being unfilial."
Mrs. Wei quickly said: "How can this be said to be unfilial? I think my sister and brother have always been thinking about her, and she knows it well."
"Second sister-in-law is not busy today."
When she went there yesterday, the yard was so busy. It's strange that I still have time to come here to chat with her today. It's nothing.
After yesterday's conversation, Qiao Yuyan disliked Wei more and more.
She really couldn't greet someone who always kept things secret.
Since Mrs. Wei has something to ask for, it's better to say it openly. In this roundabout way, even if she can help, she doesn't want to help.
Mrs. Wei seemed to have noticed her impatience, so she put down the tea cup in her hand, "Yesterday I took the liberty of begging my sixth brother and sister, but we ended up unhappy.
When our master came back in the evening, he scolded me severely. He said the same thing as the sixth brother and sister, saying that we women didn't know anything about the affairs of the previous dynasty, so we meddleed in it and ruined the big thing.
My heart feels like it's fried. No, as soon as I have nothing to do, I will come to my sister-in-law as soon as possible. I must apologize to you properly, otherwise I will feel really guilty."
"Second sister-in-law is really too polite. We are a family to begin with. If one family talks about two families, this is too outrageous."
As she spoke, she looked out the window and said, "Go and see what the fourth wife is doing. I don't know what she is busy with these days. She is bored in her yard every day and doesn't come to see me."
The little maid outside responded loudly and ran out.
The expression on Wei's face suddenly felt awkward.
Qiao Yuyan smiled and said: "The fourth sister-in-law has been raised in the house since she was a child, and she should be very familiar with the second sister-in-law! Second sister-in-law, you have just come here, so you may not know my temper. I have always been such a carefree person."
Yes, I never pay attention to little things.
Since my second sister-in-law treats me as a human being, I also miss my second sister-in-law and hope that we can get along with each other like sisters in the future.
You and I are not familiar with each other, so just ask your fourth sister-in-law to come over, and we will play chess together for fun, and we will gradually become familiar with each other. You don't have to be so careful when talking to me, and I don't have to flatter you."
Qiao Yuyan said this, but Wei didn't mean much in going around in circles.
She bit her lip, the smile on her face was no longer as sweet as before, and her gaze as she looked at Qiao Yuyan became a little more intense.
"The sixth brother and sister are so cheerful, it seems that I have a clingy temper," she twitched the corner of her mouth, "Actually, it was me who did something wrong. In the situation like yesterday, I should tell the sixth brother and sister directly. I don't know.
The character of the sixth brother and sister led to such a misunderstanding."
Qiao Yuyan put down the tea cup in her hand and sat back, "Oh? Second sister-in-law, did you still have something to say to me yesterday?"
"It's not that I didn't say it, but that I didn't make it clear." Her eyes slid over Duobao Pavilion, and then she said with a smile, "The sixth brother and sister are different from others. After all, they grew up in the Xu family. If you talk about this with others,
For gold and silver things, you may even deliberately manipulate your worth and say something about yellow and white Adu, but I’m sure the sixth brother and sister won’t do that.”
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "That's natural. Although they say money is something external to the body, in this world, you can't live without money. People like me love money very much, so please tell me, second sister-in-law."
"Then I'll just make it clear," she sighed, "If I say that our master has always been innocent during the more than ten years he has been in office, my sixth brother and sister will not believe it, and neither will others.
In fact, we originally planned to stay outside all the time. Our house is said to be a big business, but in fact it is a mess inside.
The eldest brother and our second brother are actually inseparable from each other, but we just don’t say it out loud, let alone the third brother, who is simply a moron and has never accomplished anything since he was a child.
In the past, when my father-in-law was alive, he was the only one who often made him angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. The entire third family was supported by the father-in-law, not to mention the fourth brother. The fourth brother has been dead for several years, and he has only suffered.
Four younger siblings.
The fifth brother was originally his uncle's illegitimate son, but the old lady was so kind that she quietly introduced him as her father-in-law's child. She never let anyone know a word about him. From the moment they got married, the couple had hardly left their compound.
.
It is said that he only enjoys reading, but he avoids his parents-in-law like this. It is hard to say whether he knows his identity in his heart. He can close himself off like that, and it is impossible for him to share the same heart with us and hope for a good family."
This was the first time Qiao Yuyan heard about Master Wu's life experience. She had no idea that Wen Qiongyu was not the son of Master Wen.
She suddenly remembered the courtyard where everyone lived together that time. It was originally the place where Mrs. Wen's younger brother lived. Could it be that it was actually the place where Wen Qiongyu's father lived?
Seeing her expression, Mrs. Wei had a trace of guilt on her face, "It seems that the sixth brother and sister don't know about the fifth brother yet..."
Qiao Yuyan could only twitch her lips and remain silent.
Wei said: "That's all. Anyway, the fifth brother and the others have moved away now. It doesn't matter whether we hide the matter or not. What's more, the sixth brother and sister are not outsiders."
After saying this, she continued what she had said before: "Our original plan was to wait for the old lady to sit down together and discuss the separation of the family directly after a hundred years.
Due to the pressure that the chief executive has put on us, we don’t have to think about the public share. We will take whatever can be given to us, and we will figure out a way for the rest ourselves.”
When Qiao Yuyan heard this, she understood. After all the foreshadowing, she didn't want to say that they had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth in Jiangnan and did not want to be included in the public affairs, let alone share it with other people.
Wei looked at Qiao Yuyan's expression carefully and said, "Sixth brother and sister, I think you can understand my mood! We have been excluded from the capital these years, and we do this for the sake of the future.
We can't bring this money back, otherwise, it will become the property of the public. We still have the money in Jiangnan. We think that if we can ask Zhaoer to return to Jiangnan to work, even if the position is lower, we can still keep this money.
It took us more than ten years to earn our share of the family fortune."
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "Now that the second sister-in-law said this, I understand what you had unfinished yesterday."
Seeing the happy smile on Mrs. Wei's face, she changed the subject, "It's just that I still can't help you!"
