Mrs. Wei'er's mother-in-law is considered the inferior among her siblings. Her mother-in-law's family has been working as officials in Yangzhou government offices for generations. All her father, brothers and uncles have been working as officials in various government offices. They don't have much ability, but they have a lot of gossip about being one step ahead of others.
Mrs. Wei Er was actually fed up with being sandwiched between the two sisters-in-law in her husband's family. She had no money and no power, and even her husband was not as valued as other people's husbands.
Having the old lady take her around the Lu and Zhao families really made Mrs. Wei Er's heart flutter.
"Then why not fight for it?" Mrs. Wei Er asked.
"Good things don't happen to us. Since it's not a good thing, of course we can't be taken advantage of in vain."
Mrs. Wei Er has never had any opinions. Mr. Wei Er will do whatever he says and fight wherever he says.
"What my father meant this morning was to adopt a girl from his side. He said that adopting a girl would be good for Jiao Niang. You should think about how to say it to match what father said, and also to tell the outside world."
During the evening meal, the three ladies all arrived in front of Mrs. Wei. The third lady looked indifferent. As long as she didn't push anything into her, it didn't matter whether she had a big or a second bedroom, it had nothing to do with her.
Mrs. Wei Er just glanced at Mrs. Wei's face when they first met. Her face was calm and she couldn't tell anything.
Mrs. Wei Er was a little anxious. She hadn't yet figured out how to make the old lady feel that they were unwilling to accept her.
Old Mrs. Wei never wanted her daughter-in-law to set any rules. She could just come over to greet her if she wanted to, and she didn't even leave out the evening meal.
"Since everyone is here, let's talk. After we finish talking, everyone goes back to their rooms." The old lady pushed away the person who wanted to set up the evening meal.
The third wife was adjusting her sleeves. After adjusting her sleeves, she was also adjusting the skirt of her outer skirt and lower skirt. No one was talking.
"You don't want it anymore?" the old lady asked again.
The second wife looked up at the old lady and then at the eldest lady, then lowered her head again, looking like she was struggling.
"If my sister-in-law is not happy, then... then I will take my sister back. Jiao Niang will return home to raise the baby. I really want her to be quiet."
Look at what he said, he was very considerate of others, even Wei Jiaojiao took it into consideration.
"I have a hard life and can't control my husband. I don't need a wife to marry me. There won't be much gossip outside when I bring a sister back home."
Mrs. Wei Er said and glanced at the eldest wife again.
"Sister-in-law, are you really not going to accept it? I took a look at it this afternoon and found that the girl is very pretty."
Mrs. Wei actually didn't think about it. Even if her husband and son persuaded her to take it back, she was unwilling to do so. Even if she knew that this was not Uncle Wei's child, she still felt uncomfortable. Even if... talking about the benefits of Potian, it would be ridiculous.
Tianfugui is waiting, but she is still not happy.
"It's hard to say this. Jiao Niang was quite depressed at her husband's house. Now she finally has a baby and is safe. When I got back to my house, I wished I had to look at her wrongly, for fear that something might happen to her."
"It's really powerless to take another one back. If we can't take care of both sides, it won't be beautiful."
After Mrs. Wei thought about it, she decided not to do this kind of icing on the cake. She would have no loss if she just didn't do it.
It's just that the second daughter-in-law wants to talk again, so just say it. Even if she owes her this matter, it is indeed something she won't push past. She can just find an opportunity to make up for it in the future.
Mrs. Wei'er looked like I understand, but I don't accept it.
"Actually, my sister-in-law is worrying too much. There are so many servants, and there is no need for my sister-in-law to take care of this girl herself."
After speaking, he asked Old Mrs. Wei, "Look at me, I've been talking for a long time and I still don't know what the girl's name is? Mother, has this girl got a name?"
"Wei Niao Niao." Old Mrs. Wei said.
"Niaoniao, this name is somewhat similar to our Jiao Niang." Mrs. Wei Er covered her mouth again and laughed.
But Mrs. Wei couldn't laugh. The names were so similar. Did the old couple decide to put it in their own room? It was so disturbing!
Not only did Mrs. Wei Er not smile when she saw others, she even stopped talking to others. She abruptly suppressed her sudden laughter. For a while, the hall was extremely quiet and the scene was a bit awkward.
"Then...then should I take it back first? Just...just say that Niaoniao has been in the Guzi Temple all these years?" Mrs. Wei Er said cautiously.
Mrs. Wei originally had her eyes half-closed, but after hearing this, she opened her eyes, glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law, and agreed to the second daughter-in-law.
"Okay, that's it. Since the fate of the fate has been avoided, the child has been tired of eating fast and chanting Buddha for the Wei family for so many years. I will set two tables for her on an auspicious day, which is like introducing her uncle, aunt, and nephew to her.
"
Mrs. Wei Er didn't expect that the old lady could offer to set up two tables. You should know that the elders are here. Except for important events like getting married and having children, they, the younger generation, would never think of having a banquet at home in the past.
"I'll thank my mother for the bird first."
Mrs. Wei waved her hand and said, "Let's go back once this matter is settled."
What is this? The third daughter-in-law will not mention it. She has always been a master who has nothing to do with herself. The eldest daughter-in-law just wants to have her eight hundred thoughts written on her face. The second daughter-in-law is also really
You are a fool, there is no need to pretend to be stupid, you are already stupid enough.
That's all, only in this way can the three sisters-in-law live in peace and harmony.
At the evening meal, the old lady told the old man the final result.
There is no need for the old lady to explain it in detail. The old man also seems to have a clear mind.
"Since we are going to send Bird Bird to the general election, we can't afford to suffer from food and clothing. We should allocate some money to the second daughter-in-law alone so that she can take care of Bird Bird, and then take her out with her clothes and hair."
"Yes." Old Mrs. Wei responded, "I'll set up two tables in the house one day, and let the girls come out to recognize me."
"Don't let it slip, she is also our granddaughter, her name is Sister Bird."
"Why."
"Women are just ignorant. There is nothing to sigh about. Wealth and honor are found in danger. Maybe the Wei family will be in good luck."
Old Mrs. Wei was not in such a good mood. She said she would leave it alone, but in fact she did not let it go for a second.
No, I heard a second ago that the old lady of the Zhao family and several other ladies from the Zhao family had come to Yangzhou. I couldn't wait to send someone to deliver the greetings, so I brought them to the door directly.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you say anything in advance when you came to Yangzhou? If the servants hadn't seen you in the city this morning, I wouldn't have been able to fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Although Old Mrs. Wei wants to call Old Mrs. Zhao sister-in-law, and it is true that Old Mrs. Zhao is several years older, when they are together, it seems that Old Mrs. Zhao is more energetic.
"I also came over at last minute. Sister Zhen was ill. We happened to be in Piling, so we came over together."
"This child is sick and I'm most worried. Yesterday, Mother He sent someone to say that she was going back to Piling. I also sent people a lot of medicinal materials. I've been feeling tired lately, but I didn't pay attention to whether Mother He left or not.
"
"Ms. He is young and careless. She panics when things happen. The child is sick. It's better not to overwork the child. The more important thing is to raise him properly in Yangzhou."
