The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

"Old lady, I have a doubt in my granddaughter-in-law's heart all morning. I would like to ask boldly: Are the intervals for house repairs and flower maintenance in our east courtyard the same as those in the west courtyard?"

Xu Yin blinked, her childish oval face showing a confused look:

"On the way my granddaughter-in-law was walking, she noticed that broken tiles had fallen off the roof of our east courtyard, and the paint on the rafters and columns of the corridor had also faded. As she walked on the road, she almost fell. At first she thought it was someone who fell down. The man was not careful when he was working, and he dropped a stone and tripped his grandson's daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, when she looked carefully, she found that the thatch on both sides of the road was too thick and the roots crawled onto the brick surface..."

When she said this, the old lady's expression was no longer right, but Xu Yin didn't seem to notice it, and continued with a confused look on her face:

"But granddaughter-in-law saw that the road in the west courtyard was very clean, and the flowers and grass were neatly trimmed. The tiles were so far apart that I couldn't see if there were any broken ones, but the courtyard wall was quite white. Granddaughter-in-law was puzzled: Isn't our Xue Mansion still beautiful? Aren’t they separated? Why are the management standards of the east and west houses different..."

"Snapped!"

The tea cup in the old lady's hand was thrown heavily on the table, the water in the cup was knocked over, and the tea cup rolled around a few times before stopping.

Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. They all looked at their noses and minds. Who dared to step forward and stroke the tiger’s beard at this time?

The second lady didn't dare either.

Although this matter has something to do with her, although she is not in charge of the central government, the old lady has given her a part of the housekeeping power, including the purchase of the large kitchen, the maintenance of the back garden, and the errands and chores are all her people. , my heart goes to her.

She said that the house in the west courtyard needed to be repaired, so those people came to repair it; she said that the flowers and plants in the west courtyard needed to be replaced, so the procurement office sent the new flowers from the house to the west courtyard first, and she picked them first, even though she was an old lady. She also picked out the flowers in your yard and brought them over.

However, although she enjoyed some of the benefits and conveniences brought by the housekeeping rights, she did not say that she would not allow the east courtyard to repair the house and replace the flowers and plants.

The only person to blame for this is the sister-in-law herself, who spends her days eating, fasting, and chanting sutras, and is indifferent to anything else except her son. As long as the sister-in-law serves snacks, hires craftsmen to repair and paint, and hires gardeners to tend to the flowers and plants, she won’t stop her, really!

"Old lady, this matter..."

"Old lady, are you angry?" Xu Yin didn't let the second lady have a chance to speak, "Buddhists say: Don't be angry. Don't be angry. If you get sick, there will be no one to take care of you! Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you, granddaughter-in-law thought Look, this thing is probably caused by the sneaky servants who are used to looking at the plates and dishes. If you are angry, wouldn't you be playing into their hands!"

Old lady: "..."

When did Buddhism say, "Don't get angry, don't get angry, there will be no one to take care of you if you get sick"? It sounds more like market slang.

But then I thought about it. This eldest girl from the Xu family had been fostered in a southern temple. Maybe there was such a saying there.

This made her feel a lot better.

Originally, even Xu Yin was annoyed.

Is it possible to avoid losing face when a newly graduated granddaughter-in-law points out the different treatment between the East and West Houses in front of so many people?

It was like a big slap on her face, accusing her, an old lady, of deliberately deducting the status of the East Hospital, or turning a blind eye and letting the people below bully the master of the East Hospital.

"Yinyin is right! This matter cannot be tolerated and must be thoroughly investigated! I want to see which group of slaves are so bold and do not regard their master as their master! This is outrageous! If found out, they should be punished. It’s time to fight, and sell the oil and salt directly! My second daughter-in-law, you have always been in charge of the house repairs, garden decoration, and kitchen purchases. I don’t bother the second master with anything. I will leave this matter to you as soon as possible. Go and do it quickly! Fortunately for Yin Yin today, we are not afraid of making jokes. If one of the guests sees it and tells it outside, then the joke will be known to everyone in the world. "

At this point, the old lady paused slightly, obviously thinking that she had held a wedding event for her eldest grandson yesterday, and all her relatives and friends came to drink the wedding wine.

Although the male guests did not go to the backyard, the female family members would at most sit here with her. The parents-in-law of the two daughters-in-law would not go back and forth between the east and west courtyards. They would only go to one place, so it was expected that they would not have any objections.

Especially the eldest daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family, their hearts are devoted to Zhao'er. Every time they come, they go straight to Zhao'er's courtyard. There is no leisure time to go to the lake or garden. That being said, there's no guarantee that there won't be some meddlesome people looking around on tiptoes, and then discovering the obvious differences between the East and West Houses.

Thinking of this, the old lady's anger that had subsided suddenly came back up like the pressure limiting valve on the lid of a pressure cooker: "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and do it!"

The second lady was so startled by the drink that she quickly leaned over and said, "Yes, mother! My daughter-in-law will send someone to check right now."

"Second Aunt." Xu Yin did not forget to remind her, "Don't forget to send some people to our east courtyard first. There is no rush for anything else, but the broken tiles and rotten rafters must be repaired as soon as possible. I'm worried it will rain."

"..."

The second lady's steps stagnated and she responded with a sneer:

"This is nature! This is nature!"

I scolded Xu Yin half to death in my heart:

Those who grew up in the temple are really uneducated!

Don’t you understand what “click and stop” means?

After all, he was her elder. If he had anything to say, he couldn't say it in private. He had to do it in front of the old lady and in front of so many female relatives.

Did the Xu family teach her any rules? So annoying! ! !

Xu Yin didn't care that her face turned red.

Stewardship does not allow you to just enjoy benefits without doing practical things.

If possible, she would like to persuade the old lady to separate the family and let the two houses in the East live their own lives.

But today the battle is almost over, and if another topic is brought up that is enough to make the old lady faint, she is worried that she will be divorced and returned to her parents' home the next day after entering the house.

Although she doesn't like being married as soon as she wears it, taking the initiative to divorce and being divorced are two different things.

Besides, it has not yet been confirmed whether the nominal husband is her Comrade Xiaojin!

Therefore, Xu Yin took out her good partner in the drama, her old friend Jiang Zhijinpa, and wiped the corners of her eyes. Instantly, her eyes filled with water, and she said something that almost moved her. She successfully moved the old man. Taijun was so happy that today's greeting and tea ceremony came to an end.

The maid next to the old lady came over to report that the lady was awake. Xu Yin stood up and left naturally, saying that she would send her mother back to the east courtyard and then go see her husband.

The old lady nodded happily: "Go, go! Zhao'er and his mother will have to rely on you to take more care from now on!"

"This is what a granddaughter-in-law should do!"

Xu Yin said some nice words for free, stepped forward to support her mother-in-law who came out of the inner room, and said goodbye to the east courtyard.

Walking out of the old lady's courtyard, Xu Yin clearly felt that her mother-in-law's stiff body had relaxed a lot. It seemed that her mother-in-law was also very scared of her mother-in-law.

Even if a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law after 30 years, she still has a lot of respect for her mother-in-law.
