Early the next morning, Xiyu came back with breakfast and said angrily to Lin Zhixiu, "I heard that last night, the old lady called the fourth wife, scolded her severely, and made her kneel in the yard.
It’s been half an hour! When the fourth wife went back, she wouldn’t have been able to walk if it hadn’t been for the girl’s support!”
Lin Zhixiu sneered and said, "This is just the beginning. Next, it will be even more disgusting!" Until it kills them... "It's better for her to suffer a little now..."
In the morning, when saying hello, the old lady's face was as dark as water. Lin Zhixiu felt that the old lady looked even more sinister now than when she heard the news about Lin Jiangwan.
This old woman is really inexplicable!
Yao didn't sleep well most of the night. In the morning, his face was sallow, and he felt humiliated and scared. He didn't know what he was facing today.
Mr. Yuan has been very high-spirited recently. In front of the old lady, her waist is straighter than before.
At this moment, she looked at Mr. Yao and was very unhappy. Lin Yun, at her age and with such qualifications, could get this position...it was promoted by her husband!
To put it nicely, it was the children of the Lin family who had a good future and the Lin family was glorious. But didn’t the good thing fall on the fourth child himself?
In the future, when the old man is gone and the family is separated, he will actually carry that position on his back!
What does it have to do with my husband and myself?
If it were just a seat outside, not much to say, and tens of thousands of taels of silver for planning, that would be for sure!
Humph, I don’t know if these two people are so discerning. If they don’t mention it, I won’t agree to it!
So he smiled and said, "Yesterday, the Marquis came back and said that the Long Live Lord gave a good job to the fourth brother. Alas, the Marquis... I have been working diligently on errands for so many years. This time, in order to save the Long Live Lord, I almost risked my life."
Go! He has earned a good future for himself and his fourth brother. Oh, it’s really heartbreaking that everyone in this family is counting on him..."
Mrs. Yuan looked at the old lady and then at Mrs. Yao.
Yao's head was half lowered, not daring to speak.
Yuan's lips curled up, "Mother, do you know? This position is outside. It doesn't cost you a hundred and eighty thousand dollars, but you can't get it! The fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister can eat with this ready-made food..."
The old lady hated her eldest daughter-in-law's recent behavior, but she couldn't care about her at the moment, so she sneered and said, "Why are you so anxious? The emperor's decree has not been issued yet! Who knows what will happen! Don't worry, if Lin Yun is really allowed to go, both of them will
You have taken such a huge advantage, how could you have the nerve to not mention anything?!"
Lin Zhixiu was confused in her heart. The Yuan family is already Mrs. Hou, but her vision is still so narrow? It is really hopeless!
Yao still didn't dare to speak.
Yuan said, "Fourth brother and sister, if it is true as mother said, then we will really have to talk...hehehehe!" Her tone was joking, but her expression was not a joke.
Yao was angry, afraid and hated.
She knew that such a good thing would not come easily!
The old lady found fault. "Hey, what's the matter? Your husband hasn't even been promoted yet, and he's picked up your wife's money? Your sister-in-law pretended not to hear when she talked to you!? You were showing prestige in front of me yesterday, but today
My son is doing this to your sister-in-law again! If I get the official position, will this family still be able to accommodate you?" She became angrier as she spoke and slammed the table.
Yao hurriedly whispered, "Mom, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what to say. She doesn't dare to make any decisions about such a big matter. When the time comes, I'll listen to my father..."
When Lin Zhixiu heard this, he thought, oh, the old lady doesn’t like hearing this the most!
Sure enough, the old lady immediately became angry, "Okay! As a mother-in-law, you take care of your daughter-in-law, but you drag your father out? Are you afraid of looking at me? The old lady can't control me here! Let me ask you a question
If I say that, you will show your teeth and claws! If the fourth child becomes a high official, will there be a way for me to survive? "
Putting down the big hat, Yao quickly knelt down and said, "My wife doesn't dare!"
"What else do you dare not do? Don't be so disgusting with me! Come on! Leave her in the ancestral hall to cool down!"
Yao closed his eyes. He had not been punished in the past six months, and he felt that his endurance had become weaker... and he did not dare to ask. With tears in his eyes, he stood up and left with his head lowered.
Yuan looked on with gloating, while the others remained silent.
The old lady glanced at the people in the room bitterly, "There have been a lot of things going on at home recently, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Look at all of you, you are so restless! Please be careful. Leave it alone!"
After everyone came out, Fang Qunqun asked worriedly, "Xiu'er, why don't we go rescue your fourth aunt?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "This matter cannot be saved now."
Fang Qunqun said, "Can't you go find your grandfather? He is still a bit mean to you!"
Lin Zhixiu laughed in her heart, Fang Qunqun could still use the word bomian. "My fourth uncle has done such a great thing, how could the old lady just give up? This is just the beginning... ugh!"
Fang Qunqun said in a low voice, "This man is really weird. He is obviously a good member of the family! Even if he is a concubine, he is still the son of the Lin family!"
Lin Zhixiu smiled: Lin family? She is the only one in the Lin family! Lin Jiangwan's place is still in dire straits. Do you think she has taken care of it? The matter of kissing the daughter is not as important as the fourth uncle's promotion!
These mother and daughter have the same temperament!
Fang Qunqun said, "Just now, what did your aunt mean?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "What do you mean? It means that this official has to stay outside and can't operate without one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver! Since the fourth uncle got it with the help of the eldest uncle, let's pay for it!"
Fang Qunqun said, "But... if it really works, the Lin family will not be divided, and the money will be provided by the family!"
Lin Zhixiu looked at her and said with a smile, "Fifth Aunt, you are so naive! She is planning a dowry for Fourth Aunt!"
Fang Qunqun said, "How dare she touch her sister's dowry?!"
Lin Zhixiu said coldly, "She is very familiar with it! There is nothing to be embarrassed about..."
At night, in the ancestral hall, Mrs. Yao huddled in a corner of the ancestral hall, accompanied by her girl Qiuhong.
The surroundings were dark and there was only one candle lit, so she was a little prepared, so she wore her thickest fur, otherwise, she would really freeze to death here. Qiuhong had no fur, only wearing a thick cotton dress, shivering from the cold,
Two people huddled together and depended on each other.
Yao had no food in her stomach and was cold all over. But she couldn't care about these. She also knew that this was just the beginning... The smoother her husband's official career was, the harder it was for them at home. She still didn't know what was waiting for her.
One family.
It was almost midnight, and someone was knocking on the door: "Fourth Mrs...."
Qiu Hong asked nervously, "Who?"
"It's me, Beifei!"
"Beifei?"
Qiu Hong hurriedly opened the door, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making her shiver.
Beifei squeezed in and said, "Fourth Madam, my girl asked me to come. Here, there is a package of food, a water hyacinth, a hand stove and charcoal."
Yao's eyes turned red again, "Thank you girl for me..."
Beifei said, "This bag of food was prepared for you by Mrs. Wu!"
Qiu Hong quickly took it, opened it, took out some food and handed it to Yao. Yao said, "You can eat first, I have no appetite!"
Beifei said, "My girl said that the old lady will not let the fourth master get this position smoothly. Even if the fourth master takes office under the old lady's suppression, what will you and the fourth master do?"
Yao said bitterly, "I've never seen anything like this..."
Beifei said, "My girl said it's useless for you to dwell on this matter anymore, she is just like this! The key to this matter still depends on the old man. My girl has already written to the fourth master, and the fourth master knows what should be done."
Yao was surprised, "Ah?! When?"
Beifei said, "The fourth master should have received the message. As for you, you don't have to hold on, you should go crazy if you are sick! Take the opportunity to give it a chance, otherwise, the old lady's cruel attack will be behind you!"
Yao: "..." Is this my granddaughter talking about her grandmother?
But... "What your girl means..."
Bei Fei chuckled, "What my girl means is that no matter how you compromise, the old lady will never let you and the fourth master go. Then it's better to go through some trouble and let the old lady come forward and settle the matter."
This is unfilial... Yao said, "Let me think about it... thank you girl. I will remember her kindness!"
Beifei made a face and walked away secretly.
Yao and Qiu Hong ate in silence, recalling every detail of the third girl's return. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she never suffered a loss.
Trust her once!
I'm not in a good state lately. I still have a lot of things I haven't written yet. I'm too lazy to think about it...
