Chapter Ten: The Man from the Liu Family (3)
Mrs. Liu Er has always been generous to those who serve around her. Several girls who came as dowries back then have already been married and become housekeepers' wives, and some have left their citizenship and married ordinary people. Now in Mrs. Liu Er's house
, the two big girls who serve personally came up later.
The one who came here with the cloak is one of them, called Caifeng. There is another one, called Xiuluan. Both girls are sixteen or seventeen years old, with gentle and gentle personalities, and they are also quite capable. Especially Cai.
Feng is also very thoughtful. She remembers everything that Mrs. Liu Er ignores. These two girls are trusted by Mrs. Liu Er and are the first-class respectable girls in this yard.
Mr. Liu Er, Mrs. Liu Er and Liu Ruosi all put on their coats and came out of the house and went to Mrs. Liu's yard.
…
The three people in Liu Ruosi's house were living in harmony, but in Mrs. Liu's yard, there was a different hectic scene.
Liu Ruoyuan's neck and hands had already been smeared with ointment. She was not afraid of the cold. She only wore a close-fitting jacket and sat on the kang, wiping her tears while complaining to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu.
Liu Ruojuan also applied ointment, changed her clothes in a proper manner, and sat on the edge of the kang sideways. Although she was not injured on her body, her hands were seriously injured, and the finger marks from Liu Ruoyuan's beating on her face were still there. However,
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu's attention were all focused on Liu Ruoyuan. For a long time, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been coaxing Liu Ruoyuan and only asked her a few questions.
Liu Ruojuan is used to this kind of situation. At least, on the surface, she is used to it.
"...It's only been a few days since you caused such a big trouble, you can't let me save a few days of worry!" Mrs. Liu interrupted Liu Ruoyuan's endless complaints and said, "It took me so long to persuade you.
, you just don’t listen. With the old lady protecting you, you have nothing to fear. This is fine at home, but what if you go out in the future? Sooner or later, you will suffer the consequences of your temper!"
"Who dares to let me suffer!" Liu Ruoyuan was unconvinced, "Even if there is no old lady to protect me, no one wants to let me suffer. Mother, can we not talk about the future, but just talk about today's events. It's obviously three days ago.
The girl is causing trouble, and Mom is being used as a shield by her! Don’t you understand, too? As long as I don’t comply, the old lady will definitely feel depressed, but there are three girls who are good-looking. Mom, why do you help the third girl so much! Who is your biological child?
"
"Who else do you want to make life difficult for? You are the one who is having a hard time today." Mrs. Liu said angrily, "If you were not my mother's biological child, why would you care about me like this? What did my mother usually tell you? Third girl can't offend you now.
Where has all your cleverness gone? At this juncture, you still provoke her. Offending her will do us no good. If you coax her well, we will have countless benefits. Have you forgotten what mother said? "
Liu Ruoyuan snorted and glanced at Grandma Liu from the corner of her eyes.
"Your sister-in-law has benefited so much, how can she miss you?" Mrs. Liu said immediately.
"Sister, if your eldest brother and I get it, then you get it." Grandma Liu quickly expressed her position, "When I take charge of the affairs in the yard, I won't get what I want! Wait until I find you."
When you get married into a good family, what a scene it is to have such a helper!"
"I haven't forgotten." Liu Ruoyuan pouted, "But, even if it's for the sake of the future, there's no reason to always be inferior to them. After all these years, they've been doing the same thing! Mom, you usually coax me.
Let's forget it over there, we are the ones who took advantage of today's matter. If we catch her at fault this time and beat her so hard that she lowers her head, wouldn't things be easier to handle in the future?"
"I'll go to the old lady later and make sure she punishes the three girls!" Liu Ruoyuan said again, obviously still angry.
"You are not allowed to cause trouble again!" Mrs. Liu said sternly with a straight face.
Liu Ruoyuan curled her lips, but said nothing. After a long time, she also understood that Mrs. Liu had made up her mind this time.
"You girl, your thinking is too simple." Mrs. Liu lowered her voice again, "Three girls today are different from before."
When Mrs. Liu said this, she squinted her eyes and thought deeply.
"...The third girl is a bit hard to see through today. Normally, if she encounters something like this, she will definitely tell the difference with the elder girl in front of the old lady. She must tell right from wrong. If the old lady says she is not, she will
She's sulking. She doesn't have the intelligence of a big girl and won't please the old lady."
"But today, she didn't defend anything and even admitted her mistake. It seemed that she was right. I had to help her. Not to mention the big girl, even I didn't get any benefits. Could it be that the third girl's behavior was to get high?
Did anyone give you some advice?"
Liu Ruoyuan snorted coldly, obviously not agreeing with Mrs. Liu's statement.
"No matter what she does, the old lady is still facing me, what can she do?" Liu Ruoyuan asked.
Mrs. Liu ignored Liu Ruoyuan, but beckoned Mrs. Liu to come over.
"You always go to that yard. Is there anything unusual there these days? Who is the new person around the third girl?" Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Liu.
Grandma Liu just shook her head.
"Housekeeper, if there is such a thing, how could I not know about it? It's really nothing out of the ordinary, let alone anyone else. The third girl hasn't even left the house these days, so she gets sulky."
"Then, what happened today was a coincidence?" Mrs. Liu said to herself.
"I think it should be." Grandma Liu said, "The third girl has grown so big in front of us. The second master and second wife are like that, and she is the same, with no success and a weak temper. Today, it must be
What a coincidence."
"I think so. I guess it was about the New Year incident that made the third girl really angry." Mrs. Liu thought for a while, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That thing has indeed been done." Mrs. Liu frowned again, looked at Liu Ruoyuan and said, "Thank you, the third girl, nothing serious happened, otherwise, mother wouldn't be able to protect you. That's not to mention, what we have planned over the years
For big things, all previous efforts must be wasted.”
"Mom, you are making too much of a fuss." Liu Ruoyuan disagreed, "Even if she dies, what can we do? Just find two girls to pay for her life, and it will be a big deal. Without her, it will be cleaner. Often.
After the eldest brother, the eldest sister-in-law gets more and saves trouble."
"What nonsense!" Mrs. Liu's face turned pale with anger. She looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room. She felt a little calmer, but she still swept the tea cup off the table next to her with one hand and pointed at Liu Ruoyuan with a shaking hand, "What do you know?
, I don’t know how high the sky is. If you have such faint thoughts again, I will beat you to death without anyone else!"
It was rare for Mrs. Liu to lose such a big temper. Liu Ruojuan hurriedly stood up beside her, lowered her head, and her body was shaking a little. Liu Ruoyuan was very courageous, but she didn't dare to speak at this moment.
"Madam, don't be angry," Grandma Liu hurriedly came forward to persuade her. "The eldest sister is still young. What she says when she is angry cannot be taken seriously. The eldest sister is smart. Madam, if you teach her, are you afraid that she will not understand the truth?
.”
"You are not allowed to cause trouble for the third girl, otherwise, you will be treated according to the family law! The old lady can't protect you!" Mrs. Liu pointed at Liu Ruoyuan and cursed.
Liu Ruoyuan said nothing and only lowered her head.
"Now that the eldest sister knows, the eldest sister will definitely not make my wife angry again." Grandma Liu said hurriedly.
Mrs. Liu scolded Liu Ruoyuan, and when she saw that Liu Ruoyuan's color also changed, and how pitifully she was burned, her anger gradually calmed down.
"Mom is not doing this just for you." Mrs. Liu softened her tone, "You were right to listen to my mother. Later, you will understand how hard she has worked."
While they were talking in the room, they heard the little girl outside reporting that the uncle was here.
"Your eldest brother is back, you are not allowed to pout anymore." Mrs. Liu glared at Liu Ruoyuan and said.
As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, Liu Yujiang walked in from outside.
Liu Yujiang stepped forward to salute Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu smiled quickly and asked Liu Yujiang to sit down. Grandma Liu and Liu Ruojuan both stood up and greeted Liu Yujiang. Only Liu Ruoyuan was still sitting on the kang.
"Big brother, where did this come from?" Liu Ruoyuan asked Liu Yujiang.
"...From the old lady." Liu Yujiang replied quickly, not caring at all about Liu Ruoyuan's attitude. "Eldest sister has been wronged today."
"Brother, do you know?" Liu Ruoyuan felt that Liu Yujiang's words were true, so she asked again, "Who told you?"
"I just went to see the old lady, and the old lady said it," Liu Yujiang said, "The old lady said that the eldest sister was wronged out of filial piety and not to let her old man worry. The old lady felt very sorry for the eldest sister.
The old lady said that if it weren’t for the New Year and there were so many things to do, the eldest sister would have to make the decision.”
"That's it, little girl, if you don't care about anything else, you just see that the old lady's birthday is coming, so I'd better let go of this matter first." Mrs. Liu also said.
"The old lady knows what she's doing. Sister, please bear with me for a few days. After that, the old lady will definitely feel better." Liu Yujiang arrived.
Liu Ruoyuan curled her lips again and snorted, but her attitude was obviously softened than before.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but glance at Liu Yujiang. This bastard was nothing but a good talker and the best at coaxing people.
At this time, Liu Yujiang took out another brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Ruoyuan with a smile.
"I bought this from the Appraisal Shop today. Sister, take a look at it, do you still like it?"
Liu Ruoyuan took the brocade box and opened it to look at it. She saw that inside the brocade box was a red gold phoenix hairpin with beads in its mouth. She unconsciously put a smile on her face.
"It's good that my eldest sister likes it, but should I calm down?... It's only when you are happy that you look good. In a few days, I have to pay my birthday to the old lady." Liu Yujiang said with a smile.
"If you're not happy, doesn't it look good?" Liu Ruoyuan asked, but there was no anger in her tone.
"Eldest sister is always good-looking. There is no woman in the capital who can compare to our eldest sister." Liu Yujiang smiled again.
"Okay, okay, finally it's okay." Grandma Liu turned around from behind Liu Yujiang, glanced at the brocade box with dark eyes, and said with a smile on her face.
"What are you spending money on? She's a kid, she'll be fine after a while." Mrs. Liu said angrily to Liu Yujiang, but her face was even warmer than before.
"...It's only a hundred taels of silver. It's disrespectful to give it to my eldest sister. How can my sister have anything to spend on it? I don't have any. If I do, it's not just this worthless thing."
"This hairpin is still not as good as the one from San Yatou." Liu Ruoyuan suddenly said.
