After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

After hearing what Hua Ling said, Liu Yuefu went to the old lady's Shoukang Hall with Hua Ling.

The old lady was sitting in the hall of Shoukang Hall. When she saw Liu Yuefu coming, her eyes sparkled.

Liu Yuefu bowed casually, sat down leisurely, and then spoke: "I heard that the old lady was looking for me, is there something you want to say?"

The old lady saw Liu Yuefu sitting down and talking to herself, and she flew into a rage, "Do you have any manners at all? You are a noble lady from the Liu family."

Liu Yuefu sneered in her heart. She was born in a peasant family and the mud on her legs probably hadn't been washed clean yet she liked to set rules and show off every day.

In the past, when she was like this, I always went along with her. She set the rules and I followed them. She was talkative and I indulged her.

Wasn't it me who indulged him?

Ridiculous, really ridiculous.

She hadn't even washed the mud off her legs, but she liked to imitate the wealthy families in holding flower-viewing banquets, tea parties, and birthday banquets.

In the past, she had assigned these tasks to me on the grounds that I was capable and generous. On the surface, she valued me and valued me, and was testing me, but in fact, she didn't want to spend money from the public and wanted me to use my dowry to show off.

In the fifth year of Jianning, the old lady was still the housekeeper. Organizing these banquets was time-consuming, laborious and troublesome, but not only did she not manage it herself, she also did not spend a penny.

Today, I will never do such a thankless task again.

Liu Yuefu just smiled and said, "The old lady has always been kind to us youngsters. She always says that we are all family. How could she not let me sit down?"

"It's my daughter-in-law who made the decision on her own. How about I just stand aside?"

The old lady was in a dilemma. She had to behave herself, because she did not tolerate juniors and was not a kind person.

The old lady said unhappily, "Forget it, just sit down."

"Yes." Liu Yuefu replied with a smile, "I told you, our old lady is a very kind person."

The old lady smiled with a fake smile, and then said, "You are so sweet-talking. My birthday is in a week. Third daughter-in-law, I will leave this matter to you. Do you have any objections?"

Wu Ximei, the eldest wife, said in a carefree manner: "Yuefu always does things beautifully. She is the eldest daughter of the Liu family, knowledgeable and capable. She will definitely be able to do it."

Haha, these two are performing here.

Singing and harmonizing.

Liu Wenfang, the second wife, looked at Liu Yuefu with some concern, but did not dare to speak.

"Mother, your birthday party cannot be sloppy. It must be held grandly so that all those old ladies will envy you." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

When the old lady heard this, she really smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

"But, how much money did the government give me for this birthday banquet?" Liu Yuefu asked slowly. Don't think that I will be as thin-skinned as in my last life and suffer this injustice foolishly.

The old lady's face fell instantly, but she didn't want to show it, so she kept a cold face and didn't say a word for a long time.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Liu Yuefu pretended not to understand and asked again: "Mother, how much money does the embassy plan to give me for this birthday banquet?"

The old lady had a cold face. After a long while, she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth and said unhappily, "One hundred taels of silver."

I pretended to be embarrassed and didn't say anything for a long time.

The room was quiet again.

"Madam, if you let me do it, I can't do it without five thousand taels of silver. What should I do..." Liu Yuefu asked anxiously, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Humph, this is really interesting. You are just thinking about getting something for nothing, and you only have one week left. How can this be enough?

In her previous life, Liu Yuefu didn't know she was pregnant because she was planning this banquet. She fainted due to overwork after working non-stop for a week. When she woke up, the doctor invited by the Li family told her that her child was gone and she could never have children again.

For a normal official family to hold a decent birthday banquet, it would take at least a month to prepare for all the purchases, arrangements and arrangements.

Now there is only one week left before the birthday party...they are not in a hurry to ask Liu Yuefu to host the party. It is hard for Liu Yuefu not to feel that they are deliberately making things difficult for her.

The old lady frowned and said unhappily, "Go to Mother Zhang and get five hundred taels. That's it. Let's go."

The old lady pounded her legs, then stood up from the rosewood official hat chair and prepared to leave.

"Mother, it is indeed my duty as a daughter-in-law to help you organize the birthday banquet, but I'm sorry that I can't afford five hundred taels. My younger sister is smart and has always been the most thrifty. Why don't you let her do it?" Liu Yuefu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The old lady paused, frowned, and felt her heart bleeding. Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, are you not satisfied?

The old lady looked at Liu Yuefu coldly and said unhappily, "You usually hosted banquets. My younger sister has never hosted a banquet before. It would be most appropriate for you to host it."

"Yes, yes, Sister Yuefu, I'm just a peasant woman, how would I know how to organize a banquet?" The eldest wife's daughter-in-law Wu Ximei echoed.

"Sister Ximei is not an ordinary peasant woman. After my husband became an official, he asked me to have you and Sister Wenfang learn the rules and housekeeping with the maid from the palace. So it is appropriate to hold a banquet." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

Without waiting for the eldest wife Wu Ximei to refuse, Liu Yuefu immediately said, "Everything has a first time. Sister Ximei, if you are unsure about anything this time, you can ask me."

"This..." The eldest wife, Wu Ximei, was anxious.

It was she who gave the old lady the bad idea of ​​telling Liu Yuefu to hold a birthday party with only one week left.

Now this is just shooting itself in the foot.

The old lady was in a dilemma. She didn't know what was wrong with Liu Yuefu, but she refused to take the job. If the cow doesn't want to drink water, you can't force it to drink water. What's more, the third son still has to rely on the support of the Liu family. It's not easy to offend Liu Yuefu openly. She thought about it and figured it out quickly. The eldest wife should have saved a lot of money. Anyway, she just didn't have to spend it.

"What Yuefu said makes sense. That's settled then. Ximei, this birthday banquet will be left to you." The old lady said to Wu Ximei, the daughter-in-law of the first wife.

"...Okay." When Wu Ximei heard that the old lady had made the final decision, she was not like Liu Yuefu who had anyone to rely on, so she did not dare to displease the old lady and had to agree.

This is simply a waste of money. I don't know how much money it will cost. Moreover, there are so many things to do in a week, how can it be done in time? !

It is said that on that night, several teacups were broken in Shanlinyuan, where the eldest son of the family lived, but that is a story for later.

Liu Yuefu got up early the next day, feeling refreshed.

After breakfast, I went out shopping, ready to visit my own shop and take a look at the current market situation.

But unexpectedly, I saw a beautiful figure in green clothes. Was it Wei Suxin?

The person came closer and closer, and it was indeed her.
