Mrs. Fu saw that her eldest children were so uneasy, and she really hoped that they would leave as soon as possible and not look at them awkwardly and get upset.
Several sisters realized that something was wrong, and one by one they went around and flattered the second sister. They also wanted to be decent. They could no longer follow the eldest sister's lead.
Since the brother-in-law in the house is powerful, it must be right to follow the words of the brother-in-law. From now on, the big and small affairs of their husband's family will be handled by the brother-in-law. They really don't dare to offend. Take a look, you should understand.
, they are all smart young ladies.
Especially when their mother was indifferent and had a soft ear, the Fu sisters quickly figured out that their brother-in-law was not to be messed with. If they wanted to be decent, they had to act according to their temperament. Otherwise, when your brother-in-law makes you look bad, who's to blame?
It’s not useful to save face.
Mrs. Fu also figured it out. Not only did she lose face in front of her brothers, she also lost face in front of her sisters.
The eldest sister pride that she talked about in the past was all given by others. When others did not give it to her, she was nothing. It was a pity that she was not given a chance to repent.
She, the eldest sister, couldn't spare the time to please her brother-in-law. She couldn't let go of her arrogance, mainly because her mood was not smooth yet and she had not been taken care of by Italy.
Mrs. Fu did not go to the eldest daughter to comfort her. Dali said that the eldest aunt needed time to think about it. Mrs. Fu believed in Dali and gave her eldest daughter time to relax.
After some time, maybe the eldest daughter will feel better, and then her son and daughter-in-law will be able to neglect the eldest sister?
No, the matter was settled just like that, and all the ladies were sent away.
When Fu Tanhualang heard that several aunts were leaving, he went over to pay a visit to them. He showed the dignity of being a brother.
But for the eldest sister, Tanhua Lang and Mrs. Fu have the same idea, so for the time being, this is all they can do.
After all, there is no way to satisfy Mrs. Fu's wish. No matter what he does, the eldest sister will not appreciate it.
Since she only wanted to explain to her husband's family, the eldest sister didn't care what happened to her brother.
Dali asked the housekeeper to buy specialties from the capital for the aunts to take back as gifts. He did a lot of work on his face and would not let the aunts lose their face.
Dali did everything openly, not hidden it. Fu Er Niangzi's gift contained two more sets of pen and ink than the other sisters.
Dali said, it was given to the nephew and niece. The meaning of praising the second sister is clear.
Compared with the other sisters, Mrs. Fu's gift contained two pieces of silk less. The closeness and distance were clearly reflected. The sisters knew that the younger sister-in-law did not want to give the elder sister such honor. They understood the younger sister-in-law's intention even more. Those who obey will be rewarded with sweets.
Those who don't obey don't get anything to eat.
This is very embarrassing for the eldest lady. I hate that my brother, my mother, has chosen such a woman to be the wife of the housekeeper.
Especially when my brother-in-law did such a shameful thing, my mother and brother didn't even say a word for me. It's really chilling.
Looking at the other sisters, they used to hang around her, the eldest sister, but now they are changing their ways according to the circumstances, but this is even more chilling.
Dali accompanied Mrs. Fu to take the daughters out of the city in a carriage.
A mother is not as cruel as she appears, and her son's marriage has put her daughters in a difficult position in her husband's family.
When she returned to the city, Mrs. Fu was not in high spirits. She was worried about these girls. She was not that happy after seeing them off.
Especially thinking of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Fu was determined to speak for her eldest daughter and asked Dali carefully: "Is this really okay, auntie?"
Dali didn't say whether Mrs. Fu's affairs were good or not, but told Mrs. Fu that Mrs. Fu was filial, considerate and transparent: "You can't let your second sister, who is always considerate of you, feel wronged. I have seen that in these years, you have become the second sister."
I won’t bother you.”
If you let these married girls toss around you, as a mother, if you don't show an attitude and treat them all the same, everyone will look down on you in the future.
After all, I don't think I'd like you to see you too much, and I don't think you'd like me too much. Madam Fu treats everyone equally, and Dali doesn't agree with it.
Dali: "If my sister who is filial to you and considerate to you is not valued, the second sister will be heartbroken in the future. It is true that we feel sorry for the second sister."
Mrs. Fu nodded: "Second girl is considerate and knows my difficulties. I really feel sorry for her." So there is no problem in giving more.
Then Dali said: "Mr. Fu is very generous. Without those two pieces of silk, these gifts are not thin." Let's talk about it, Mrs. Fu's gifts are actually not much at all, but they are just a little short of comparison.
Mrs. Fu was a very reasonable person, so she nodded: "That's true, when I brought your sisters to the capital a few times ago, I forgot to buy these when I went back." In contrast, this time there was something wrong.
A gift would be nice, and Dali also admires Jinlan, who has no luck with him. Can he forget this?
So the sisters of the Fu family were able to get gifts because they were benefiting from the big profits. They pointed out that Madam Fu didn’t have any regulations at all.
So what are you still fussing over about the amount of gifts? Originally, Dali had no confidence in being the wife of an official family. Today, she found this confidence. She took out some of the things she learned from her.
It's enough to deal with these little things.
You think he's doing pretty well, at least a little better than Jin Lan, who has no luck with him.
Mrs. Fu didn't realize her own shortcomings, but others realized Dali's thoughtfulness: "Thanks to you being here, Dali, I know you can't do anything wrong, Dali."
Dali nodded, thinking that Mrs. Fu was right. Fortunately, she was here, otherwise it would be rude for these girls to go back empty-handed.
In my husband's family, I am afraid that I will be looked down upon, saying that my parents don't want to see me, and my etiquette is not complete.
Mrs. Fu had already changed the topic and talked about other things, cheerfully: "To be honest, the sisters are all here. It's been a weird time. It's been quiet these days. Let's find a good day to go to Guangji Temple."
Let’s take a walk.”
If Jiang Changxi were here, he would definitely admire Mrs. Fu's good attitude. No wonder she could be so calm despite her son's marriage being troubled for many years.
Dali was also careless, and his interest immediately came up: "Okay, if you have a free day and want to take a walk, I will come and pick you up."
Mrs. Fu was unwilling. Why did she come to pick her up? Shouldn't they hold hands and swim together?
Holding Dali's hand: "What's going on? You stay here a little longer. When we have nothing to do, we go to Kyoto. I heard there's a new joke in the tea house."
The arrangements were made clear, and then he said: "It would be great and comfortable for us to stay at our own home."
So why go to someone else's house? Mrs. Fu made it clear that the daughter-in-law belongs to her own family, and the Zhou family does not count as her daughter-in-law's home.
