Chapter 235 Killing the chicken to warn the monkey 2)
No one knows how tearful Yao Liuye was at this moment.
He used to scold Mr. Yao a lot, and everything was fine. Why did he get into trouble after just a few scoldings this time?
"Why?"
Mr. Yao Liu looked angry at the housekeeper, Zhao Ma.
Zhao's mother was not in a hurry, she just took out a family letter, turned to a certain page, and asked someone to take a good look at it: "Here, do you see that in the family letter you copied so many times, it is clearly written here
…”
Yao Liuye choked for a moment: "Isn't this thing good for writing?"
Zhao's mother was speechless: "How do you know that your Yao family's house rules are well written? You have copied them so many times, don't you have any brains?"
Being scolded, Mr. Yao Liu wanted to cry: ...Which family rules even stipulate this kind of thing?
He has scolded his brother before. How come nothing happened before?
Mother Zhao said: "The old lady didn't pay attention to the family rules before. Didn't this come about later? So, do you understand?"
Yao Liuye cried: ...So was this deliberately planned to torture him?
"But I've just been let out, can't I play outside for a few more days?"
"Then I can't help you. I just follow the rules. If the Sixth Master also follows the rules, then I won't have to work so hard."
…
Mr. Yao Liu can say that he dares to go to Mr. Yao to make trouble, but he also knows in his heart that no matter how much trouble he makes, since the punishment decided by the old lady, it is useless no matter what others say.
But as his aunt's biological son, wouldn't it be too cold-blooded for Mr. Yao Liu not to plead for his aunt?
If the news reaches the ears of my aunt in the future, how will Mr. Yao Liu behave in the future?
Therefore, Yao Liuye deliberately avoided the old lady Gu Qingling and found a person who he thought was safer and would definitely not cause any trouble.
One can show his filial piety to his aunt, and the other may be able to arouse his third brother and third sister-in-law's feelings of guilt towards her, making them treat themselves better during the period when their aunt is away.
In the days without Auntie Chen, the Yao family seems to have no shortage of food for Yao Liuye, but Yao Liuye still feels that his life is relatively sad. He is either copying the house rules or going to school all day long. Even his favorite snacks are not available for him.
Wandering in the streets, chasing cats and dogs...all other recreational activities are gone.
Apart from the monthly silver stipulated by the old lady, Yao Liuye had no other income at all. In fact, he had no choice but to think of a good way to "win two birds with one stone".
But this method caused him to be imprisoned again.
As soon as Mr. Yao Liu was put into solitary confinement, Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba had already received the news. Their housekeeper reminded them that Miss Yao Qi had made a mistake before and was only locked up in a small dark room, which was already a very light punishment.
Yes, if he were carried to the old lady, he would definitely be imprisoned.
Depending on the seriousness of the situation, a small dark room can last from a cup of tea to a few hours; but in confinement, it can last from more than ten days to several months.
Last time, Mr. Yao Liu had been copying books for a long time. Even the troublemaker there was a martial arts woman specially invited by the old lady from outside...
"Miss Seventh, I know that you have always disliked me, but I am a son of the Yao family. I only hope for the good of my two young masters, but that may not be the case for those who are invited back from outside. If you continue
If the quarrel continues, if the old lady is really annoyed one day and asks the old lady to invite someone back from outside, then it will only be you two who will suffer..."
Miss Yao Qi glared at the housekeeper angrily, but did not refute.
Because she also knows the difference between a small dark room and a solitary confinement. In a small dark room, if she endures it and drinks a few cups of tea, the time will pass; but if she is put in solitary confinement, not only will she not be able to go out, but all entertainment will also be cancelled.
Activity.
Master Yao Liu had complained to them about this matter many times before, and Miss Yao Qi, who liked to have fun, was still frightened.
Miss Yao Ba pulled her sister's sleeves with a worried look on her face: "Seventh sister, this mother-in-law is right. Although I am also worried about my aunt, this punishment was given by the old lady. If we dare to make trouble, the old lady will
You will definitely not be lenient."
"Should we just ignore my aunt?" She knew it was the same thing in her heart, but verbally, Miss Yao Qi was still somewhat unconvinced.
"I asked Sister Xin from the big house and she said that although my aunt was assigned to Zhuangzi, she was actually brought there by all the maids and women in the courtyard. I think she will not suffer much if she has someone to take care of her. At most.
Zhuangzi is a bit remote and there is not as much fun as here in Jinling."
Miss Yao Ba looked at Miss Yao Qi's expression as she spoke, and said softly, "Besides, Sister Xin also said that my aunt was just assigned, but if we want to be filial to our aunt, we can actually send things there.
Every month, someone will come over there to report to the old lady."
But what the specific report was, Ms. Yao Ba was not sure.
When I was sent to Zhuangzi, my biggest fear was that I would be forgotten and never come back.
Now that my aunt has been sent away, she may not be able to come back. I don't know, but one thing Miss Yao Ba can be sure of is that they can continue to be filial to her and give her things.
This piece of information gave Miss Yao Qi some hope: Since she can still send things, I guess my aunt's situation shouldn't be that serious, right?
It was said that they were allotted, but all the maids and women in the yard were brought there. At most, the conditions were not as good as at home.
Thinking of this, Miss Yao Qi felt relieved. She had relaxed too much, and discussed with Miss Yao Ba what she should send something to her aunt next time.
Mrs. Guan saw this and did not intervene. She just quietly stepped back and gave the two sisters some private space.
When Miss Yao Qi saw the housekeeper leaving, she rolled her eyes and said dissatisfied: "Humph! That old woman must have gone to the old lady to report us again. She has been reporting to us all day long, and she still has nothing to do.
You think we don’t know, just a villain!”
Miss Yao Ba did not dare to answer this sentence: "Seventh Sister, do you think we should prepare some winter clothes for my aunt? Although there is still some time before winter, if we want to do it ourselves, we probably need to prepare it in advance."
"You think my aunt will never come back before winter, don't you?" Miss Yao Qi glared at this stupid sister, always feeling that this sister was cursing her own aunt.
But on the one hand, I have to admit that this sister is right. If my aunt is unable to come back before winter, Zhuangzi's supplies are insufficient. If they don't send some winter clothes to her, she will have nothing to wear and will be cold.
What to do if caught?
At this time, they didn't know that whatever they were selling would be replaced by the old lady's people before it reached the village, and they would get a similar amount and send it over there.
In the words of the old lady Gu Qingling: "It is a good thing for children to show their filial piety. There is no need for us to stop them, just... don't let them take over."
"I am punishing Aunt Zhang, not these two little girls."
"If they see their aunt making a mistake, they will not dare to be filial to Aunt Zhang. Then I will have to worry about whether I will raise a white-eyed wolf."
