At the end of the month, it's time for Mrs. Cheng to reconcile the accounts. She has been doing these things for many years, and she can tell almost everything by listening with her eyes closed.
"Why are the expenses so much higher than last month?" she asked, opening her eyes.
The lady in charge, who was sitting on her knees in front of me, was busy flipping through the account books.
"Back to Madam, the Second Madam's kitchen has added an extra portion of summer-relieving soup." A lady in charge said.
A summer-relieving soup is not worth a lot of money.
Mrs. Cheng nodded, but the Second Madam never used it, why did she suddenly use it?
Another lady over there spoke.
"Second Madam, there are new clothes for the season," she said.
Mrs. Cheng frowned slightly, her family's clothes for all seasons were cut regularly, so why did she buy clothes at this time of year?
But in front of the servant woman, she couldn't have a single question, otherwise the words would change once they were conveyed.
Especially between sisters-in-law.
"I forgot, this is what I said." She laughed.
The ladies in charge smiled and said that they had so many things to do and could remember everything, but in their hearts they were like mirrors.
For so many years, the second bedroom who only followed the lead of the first bedroom finally changed.
Don't underestimate that bowl of soup or a set of clothes.
For women, the subtlest reaction is the most real reaction.
Various gossips quietly and slowly spread in the Cheng family compound.
After Mrs. Cheng finished checking the accounts, she felt that this month was finally over, and she felt a little tired both physically and mentally.
I don't know why, but I always feel heavy in my heart. Things happen one after another, and there seems to be no moment of relief.
This was not the case before. When did this start?
"Mother, mother." Cheng Liuniang's voice came from outside, "I don't want that fool living at home!"
Oh, right, idiot!
Mrs. Cheng was a little stunned.
Ever since that fool entered the house.
If you think about it carefully, whenever that fool is around, things will never go well for the Cheng family.
When I was a child, the family was filled with gloom, which made the old man angry to death and his biological mother to death. No one in the Cheng family dared to go out.
After being sent away, the family's life suddenly became better. The eldest brother's business was booming, the second wife's career was smooth, the second wife's marriage was gentle, and they had both children. The Cheng family's life was prosperous, everything went well at home and outside, and everyone in front and behind was happy.
.
But this fool is back again.
The night she came back, the couple who had always been gentle and harmonious had a fight in front of them, which made her realize for the first time that her sister-in-law, who had always been gentle, also had such a temper.
Mrs. Cheng sighed again.
"Mom, don't just sigh, get that fool away quickly!" Cheng Liuniang shouted, shaking her mother's arm.
Mrs. Cheng came to her senses.
"What's wrong?" she asked, her voice weak.
"Mother, I can't even go out without her." Cheng Liuniang said, feeling aggrieved and angry at the same time, "I went to Mrs. Dong's house today to enjoy the flowers, and I was grabbed and ridiculed. Now everyone in the city knows about our family.
The fool is back."
In a place as big as Jiangzhou Prefecture, any disturbance can be spread from the east to the west of the city in an instant, not to mention that it is the Cheng family, who knows how many eyes are watching, so it is not surprising to know.
"This is not the first day they know about our family." Mrs. Cheng said, "Don't pay any attention to it. If you are afraid of trouble, don't go out these days. When they have said enough, they will stop talking."
It's such a shame to ask her, Cheng Liuniang, to hide like a tortoise.
"Mom, then I'll never leave home for the rest of my life! I won't marry anyone anymore! Who else will I marry? Who would be willing to marry a sister who is a fool!" she said, throwing up her sleeves and running away.
Mrs. Cheng called twice but failed to stop her, and shook her head helplessly.
"Liu Niang's arrogant temper is really outrageous," she said.
"Madam, Liu Niang is right to be worried," a servant said.
"Are you also making trouble with a child?" Mrs. Cheng looked at the servant and said.
"Although there is laughter among the girls outside," the maid said after plastic surgery, "but it is not good to have too much laughter, especially since the girls in our family have all reached the age of marriage."
Mrs. Cheng sat up straight and stopped shaking the fan in her hand.
It is indeed not a glorious thing to be a stupid sister, especially those from big families who avoid it.
In the evening, Mrs. Cheng talked about this matter with Mr. Cheng.
"But, what can we do? Even if we have this person, we can't just say it's gone. No matter what outsiders say, there is still the Zhou family." Mr. Cheng said angrily.
"Why don't you give it away?" Mrs. Cheng said, "Not only are there Taoist temples in Bingzhou, but we also have one in our home."
"It's the same person who sent it out. What's the difference?" Mr. Cheng said. He took a sip of sencha and praised it again and again, "The sencha from southern Yunnan is good, but it's a pity that it's too expensive."
"How expensive can it be, and your family still needs a sip of tea?" Mrs. Cheng said with a smile, "Then let's discuss it with my siblings and choose a day to send her there. The Taoist priest also said at the beginning that she would be raised in a Taoist temple.
It’s also good for her.”
A fool could not take advantage of Mr. Cheng, so he nodded and ignored it.
But when Mrs. Cheng went to discuss with Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng did not say that everything would be decided by her sister-in-law as she did in the past.
"It's better to wait a little longer," she said, "I'm afraid it won't be good to send it now."
Mrs. Cheng was surprised.
"What are you waiting for?" she asked.
"Isn't there still no news from the Zhou family?" Mrs. Cheng Er said, "Since they specially sent people here, if we send them directly to the Taoist temple, if they use this as an excuse to cause trouble, it is better to wait for them
After you have said something, send him off."
Mrs. Cheng suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
The Zhou family is sending people back now, and they don't know what they are going to do yet. They had better be careful.
Watching Mrs. Cheng leave, Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips.
"Send her away. After all, she is the person from our second room. I am her mother in name. When people talk about it outside, they will not point at my spine and say, how come you get the benefits and get a good name." She said in a low voice.
, patted the round fan on the table, looked at the maid, "This fan is no longer good. I heard that new fans have arrived from Zhenbaofang. Go and pick some for me."
Although sending it to the Taoist temple was temporarily put on hold, Mrs. Cheng still changed Cheng Jiaoniang's residence.
Because her daughter Cheng Liuniang could not even leave the house, Cheng Qiniang also came and said that they could not go to the garden because a fool living in the garden would scare them.
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't care where she lived and moved obediently.
Whoever changes their houses is not a big deal to the Cheng family, but it is a big deal if someone gets sick.
Master Cheng hurriedly walked into Cheng Silang's yard. There were already many people standing in the house, and Cheng Silang's wet nurse was crying so hard that she couldn't get up.
"Why did you get sick even though you were fine?" Mr. Cheng asked.
Looking at the couch, Cheng Silang was lying on his back, his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and he was exhaling more than he was exhaling.
"Father, the doctor said that the fourth brother is lovesick." Cheng Liuniang said first, with a smile that could not be concealed in her voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked embarrassed.
Mrs. Cheng sat down beside the bed with a pale face.
"Sixth lady, no, Silang is a guest." Cheng Silang's wet nurse cried.
What a mess, Mr. Cheng frowned even longer.
--------------------------------
Yesterday was an impulse. After all, I missed the double October and the guaranteed November and December pink votes. It would be unrealistic and unhappy to compete for the list anymore. The famous medical girl is over, no matter how pity it is, it is over.
, so I have to let it go.
If everyone has the energy to vote pink for a famous medical woman, I won’t update a new book to ask for votes. Thank you. I’m ashamed. I’m chasing profits and forgetting about myself. It’s ridiculous. (To be continued)
