In recent days, Xu Chunjun has gotten up extremely early.
The second sister-in-law, Song, was originally the housekeeper, but her son Xu Song was ill these days, and the child only looked after his mother when he was sick. It was inevitable that Mrs. Song couldn't take care of her, so Xu Chunjun temporarily took over the housekeeper's job.
Xu Chunjun's housekeeper does everything step by step, but he strives to do his best and does not seek merit.
Get up early and look through everything. If anything is inappropriate, ask the corresponding person to correct it immediately.
If something big comes up, I'd better ask someone to report it to the Second Grandma to make a decision. She only takes care of the small daily matters.
After walking around everywhere before, it's time to go to the kitchen to see how breakfast is being prepared.
Now that Xu Song is ill and Aunt Qin is pregnant, she has to make separate meals.
In addition, the third wife, Wei, has been bedridden since Xu Chunsu's death, and her meals must be light and soft.
"Don't give this shrimp porridge to the third wife, replace it with shredded chicken porridge!" Xu Chunjun said to the cook who was cooking the porridge.
The shredded chicken porridge was prepared for Aunt Qin.
Zi Ling immediately understood that the fourth girl had drowned in the water. It took a day and a night for her body to be fished out. Many places were eaten by fish and shrimps.
The third wife naturally hates fish and shrimp. If this porridge is served to her now, she will definitely be angry. The waiters will inevitably be scolded, and even those in charge will be angered.
Based on the temperament of the third wife, she would most likely conclude that it was their girl who did it intentionally.
The kitchen manager also woke up and said with a smile: "The girl is still careful. She is new here and doesn't know the tastes of the masters."
I hurriedly asked for two kinds of porridge to be replaced.
"Let's just take Mrs. porridge over!" Xu Chunjun added, "I have to go over to say hello anyway."
Lu Shen hesitated to speak. Although the fifth girl paid close attention to the third wife every morning and evening, the third wife never wanted to see her.
Needless to say, I still blame the fifth girl in my heart.
Even if the fourth girl committed suicide because she framed the fifth girl, even if the fifth girl doesn't hate her mother-in-law because of it.
The sun's shadow rises, weaving the branches, flowers and leaves into a dense shade.
Everywhere in the courtyard is kept clean, and servants follow rules when coming and going.
Xu Chunjun came to the Wei family's courtyard with his maid, but did not go in. He only asked the maid who was waiting for the Wei family to come over.
Ask her: "Madam, are you feeling better today? Did you sleep peacefully at night? Is there anything you want to eat?"
The maid answered them all.
Xu Chunjun added: "Bring breakfast in to your wife! If it doesn't suit your taste, tell the people in the kitchen to make it differently. If you want anything, just tell me and I'll ask someone to prepare it."
The maid agreed and went in with breakfast.
"Girl, let's go!" Zi Ling whispered, "Today is the fourth girl's birthday, and the third wife must be feeling uncomfortable."
Xu Chunjun naturally remembered it, but after thinking about it, he still didn't prepare anything to commemorate the Wei family, so as to avoid her thinking too much.
Now the third master no longer lives here, he only lives with Aunt Qin.
Xu Chunjun still had to go to pay his respects to his father.
Not long after Xu Chunjun left, Xu Daoqing came limping.
His legs were completely disabled, and he resigned to his fate.
After Xu Chunsu's death, he became a little more sensible than usual. He would sit in his mother's room every now and then and say some innocuous and comforting words.
Wei was lying on the bed, skinny and skinny. She would often stay in a daze for the whole day, staring blankly with her eyes, which was particularly scary.
She didn't allow anyone to open the curtains, and the room was dark all day long, while she herself hid in the bed curtains, like a ghost.
"The third young master is here!" Mother Lu was still loyal to the Wei family. When she saw Xu Daoqing coming, there was a hint of joy in her little eyes, "My wife doesn't have much appetite, why don't you accompany me and have some breakfast!"
Xu Daoqing stepped forward and said to Wei who was lying on the bed: "Mother, you should eat something, otherwise your body will really collapse."
Mrs. Wei looked at her crippled eldest son and thought of her dead daughter, and her heart ached.
The youngest son Xu Daokai hasn't come to see her for ten days and a half now, all because of the instigation of the incident!
She hates them so much! It's a pity that they are all alive and well!
She had no way to vent her anger. She pointed at Xu Daoqing and cursed: "You have no bones! If you could stand up, how could you be where you are today!"
Xu Daoqing was naturally not happy to be scolded, and retorted: "I would like to stand up, but who would look down on a cripple?! I am more unjust than anyone else! Who am I in the way of!"
"You have never accomplished anything since you were a child!" Wei said angrily, "You are not as good as a girl! Why don't you die for your sister!"
Xu Daoqing was also anxious: "I'm useless! I'm useless! I can't serve as an official, and I can't make money! I don't dare to kill anyone! I'll leave right now, so that you can't see me!"
However, Mrs. Wei couldn't bear to let him go, so she grabbed him and cried, "My son! I don't blame you! I'm just frustrated! We raised the tiger as a cat, and it bit us in turn! Mother!"
I feel hatred and regret in my heart! Your sister...she shouldn't have done it!"
"Mom! It won't help if you see the sky like this," Xu Daoqing wiped his nose and advised, "You are our backbone, if you fall, who else can take care of us?"
"They are all of the same mind now, but they just can't tolerate us!" Wei gritted her teeth, "Both you and I don't have much hope anymore."
"Madam, don't be sad. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will still be in charge of the third bedroom." Mother Lu advised her while wiping Mrs. Wei's tears.
"Hmph!" Ms. Wei obviously didn't believe it. "That old immortal was fascinated by that little slut. He no longer regards me as a human being. I don't have dreams anymore!"
Then he said to Xu Daoqing: "Although you are lame, don't be too weak, or you will die in the end!"
When Xu Daoqing saw the determined look on his mother's face, he didn't dare to say a harsh word. He only said vaguely: "Mom, it's important to take care of yourself. They... they are not fools. They have been on guard against us!"
Wei looked at him as if she had never known him before, just looking at him without saying a word.
Mother Lu hurriedly explained: "Young master, you have to go over and say hello to me, right? It's time for my wife to eat too."
Xu Daoqing got off the donkey and escaped from his mother's room.
Wei curled up her skinny fingers. The hard thing in her palm was the longevity lock that Xu Chunsu wore when she was a child.
"Fourth girl, wait a little longer, mother." Wei murmured, "Wait a little longer."
Last night she dreamed of Xu Chunsu. She was dripping wet and told her over and over again: "Mom, take revenge on me."
"Madam, please finish your breakfast!" Mother Lu advised, "If you don't eat it, it will get cold."
"Eat." Wei's puppet-like arm stretched out like a dead branch, "I'll eat."
She was holding the bowl of porridge, her whole body trembling slightly because of her weakness.
It took a lot of effort to swallow each mouthful of porridge, but she still ate the whole bowl of porridge without leaving any drop.
