"It's hard for you, it's so invisible, but there is such a little goblin in the house, you have to be on guard every day.
Especially since you are pregnant now, be careful if she tricks you behind your back."
"That's exactly what I said."
Mrs. Wang squeezed the beads in her hand tightly:
"Isn't that what Zhao is like? She seduced this man while I was pregnant with Baoyu.
Thanks to the pregnancy and the support of the old lady, she actually climbed up and became an aunt. If I hadn't been too angry during the confinement period, I wouldn't have fallen into this disease."
Sister Feng said hurriedly:
"What my aunt said is that I have to be careful."
Mrs. Wang said again:
"How much do you care about yourself, but you are indispensable for things in this house. It's nineteen today, right? Have you ever let go of the monthly money?"
"I'm leading someone to calculate the monthly payment, and I'll release it tomorrow.
Last time, my wife said she wanted money for lamp oil for Shuiyue Temple, and I have already asked someone to send it to Jingxu."
Mrs. Wang gave Sister Feng a few more instructions and then left Sister Feng busy.
.
After Sister Feng left, Mrs. Wang said:
"I asked about the monthly payment, and she would let me go as soon as she said it; if I hadn't asked, she might have delayed it until the end of the month."
Aunt Xue also stopped smiling at this time:
"The monthly payment is released on the 15th day of every month, and it has been getting later and later in the past few months.
Xiren told me that Jiabao girl and Miss Ping told her that every month’s money is paid out from the public house three days in advance. Brother Feng takes it out and gives it to people, and he has to wait for the profit from everywhere
I took all the money back, and then I gave the monthly payment to the government."
Mrs. Wang’s nails dug into the head of the Buddha beads, but her voice was still calm:
"I just say that Xiren is reliable.
That child knows it well and has eyes for someone, and he can tell who is one of our family members."
Aunt Xue asked in a low voice:
"Would you like to mention Brother Feng?
She misappropriated the company's money and used it for interest. She was committing theft. If someone found out and made a fuss, she would have violated the 'stealing out' in the 'Seven Rules of Coming Out'. It would be a serious matter and she would have to give up her wife."
Mrs. Wang’s nails dug harder on the Buddha’s head:
"Ordinarily, she is my niece, and our family is united, so I naturally love her and protect her.
But if she forgets her purpose for some reason, the bird will fly in the prosperous place and only look at the old lady. I am a believer in Buddhism and only believe in karma."
Suddenly her nails hurt, and she realized that she had split her nails and made another mark on the sandalwood Buddha's head. Mrs. Wang hurriedly rubbed the Buddha's head with her fingers to make the mark disappear as soon as possible.
"You also know what kind of trouble she made when I asked her to give Jia Zhen a sequel?
If I hadn't lost Pearl, her wife was a legless widow, and I myself was sick and in pain, I wouldn't have let such a disobedient woman take charge of the house.
When I first asked her to be the housekeeper, she was okay, but then she became even more unlucky.
Just say that when Miss Lin came, I told her several times and asked her to pick out a few upper rooms in a far away place. When Miss Lin came, everyone had settled there first, and the old lady could still say
What?
Fortunately for her, she just kept dragging them. As expected, the old lady took Miss Lin and Baoyu with her to live with them.
It’s not that she got the old lady’s instructions in advance to do this, it’s that she deliberately followed the old lady’s wishes and didn’t take my words seriously.
Since she wants to be the old lady’s yes-man, she can’t blame me.
Besides, she has a habit of 'not caring about her own affairs but doing things blindly for others'.
In front of me, I saw that she could hold Lian Er tightly, and I also felt that she had some tricks. As long as she suppressed Lian Er and couldn't get out, Baoyu would be safe in the future.
But who knew that Lian Er was going to use his ancestor’s sword to split the coffin in the street? Brother Feng, the person next to him, didn’t know anything. What does that mean?
You think, what if Lian Er caused trouble and brought trouble to the whole family? What's more, he asked Lian Er to hire a third-grade official to do it. Wouldn't it be even more extraordinary?
I hate it when I mention it. Either she is useless, or she can't tell the inside from the outside. She went to wear a pair of pants with Lian Er and didn't tell me the truth."
Aunt Xue nodded and said:
"This is because she doesn't know how to cherish her blessings and has failed her wife's Buddhist heart."
Mrs. Wang threw the beads aside and sat on the large blue satin elastomeric mattress and said to Aunt Xue:
"Let her be arrogant for a few more days.
When the time comes, I will naturally come forward to bring order to the chaos, divorce her, slap Lian Er in the face, and completely stop the people from the big house from interfering in the affairs of this house.
As long as Bao Yatou comes in, the house will still have to be handed over to the upright Second Grandma Bao.
I just saw that Bao Yatou is stable and peaceful, and Xiao Hui is the most suitable one."
Aunt Xue smiled and said:
"After all, my aunt loves this little girl, but don't praise her too much. She just follows the times and hides her stupidity."
Mrs. Wang sneered:
"This is what makes people hurt. I feel disgusted when I see Brother Feng making trouble in front of the old lady."
.
When Sister Feng came out of Mrs. Wang's room, Ping'er and a group of maids and women were waiting outside. They hurriedly greeted her and helped Sister Feng back.
Sister Feng asked the maid and mother-in-law who were following her to follow her from a distance, and asked Ping'er:
"Tell me the truth, did the attacker in Baoyu's house give it to Baoyu in private?"
Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled:
"Even if there is such a thing, how would I know?"
Sister Feng said "hum":
"Don't act in front of me!
You and Yuanyang, Xiren, Amber, Suyun, Zicuckoo, Caixia, Yuchaoer, Sheyue, Cuimo, Cuixi, Keren, Jinchai, Qianxue, these ten people, have never talked about anything since childhood.
Say? What are you not doing? What are you hiding from each other?"
Ping'er listened to Sister Feng calling her names one by one, and knew that she couldn't resist, so she had to say:
"She was also thinking that anyway, she was the old lady who married Baoyu, so it would not be overly polite to do so now."
Seeing Sister Feng looking at him with a clear face, Ping'er had no choice but to continue:
"It's all precious jade. That day when I was sleeping in Grandma Xiaorong's house, I dreamed that something dirty came out.
When Xiren came home, he asked him what he had dreamed about, and he told him, making Xiren cover his face in shame and lie on the bed, laughing. Baoyu begged Xiren, and Xiren agreed."
"Let me tell you, this is a mouthless gourd, full of smelly seeds." Sister Feng is already a woman, so she doesn't understand the purpose of attacking people's behavior.
She knew that Ping'er was on good terms with Xiren, so she deliberately said to Ping'er:
"That's it. Xiren is a blessed person. Sooner or later she will be Baoyu's aunt. You two can be together for a long time."
Ping'er didn't dare to say anything, so he just lowered his head and said nothing.
.
Back in the courtyard, Sister Feng didn't see Jia Lian. When she asked, she found out that she had been called to the East Mansion, where the eldest and second masters were both.
When Sister Feng saw that there was no Qingwen among the maids and ladies who came out to greet her, she was about to have a fit while banging the table. Suddenly she heard someone from Mrs. Wang's side calling her to come over quickly.
Wang Xifeng felt strange. She had just come out from Mrs. Wang's place, and when she came back, she hadn't even sat on the stool yet, so why was she screaming in such a hurry?
He didn't dare to delay, so he had to take Ping'er hurriedly and rushed to Mrs. Wang's side.
(Wang Xifeng: I am here to ask for collection, recommendation, and support on behalf of Jia Lian. After all, we are just a couple.)
