How should I put it, those people who deal with him do not affect the interests of the other party, so they are naturally not dissatisfied with Linlang, but those who affect the interests must be a little bit complaining. This is also normal and human nature.
Linlang marked these complainers and planned to observe them every once in a while - there was no way, there were too few bees, and if you kept watching them, you wouldn't be able to keep an eye on others.
Then the investigation of Li Erlang and Li Er's grandmother also confirmed Linlang's guess.
They were quite dissatisfied with Mrs. Li going over their shoulders and arranging errands for Linlang.
At first, when Linlang didn't come in, Mrs. Li didn't arrange errands for Mrs. Li, but only arranged errands for Mrs. Li. They didn't have any objection, they just thought that this was because Li Dalang was the eldest son and would definitely inherit the Li family in the future. Li Dalang's wife, Grandma Li, will be the wife of the clan in the future. She must be exposed to the errands in the house in advance so that she can take over the errands in the future. If she doesn't give them errands, it's not that Mrs. Li has any objection to them.
But not a few days after Linlang entered the house, Mrs. Li sent her on an errand. Now they wanted to deceive themselves into thinking that Mrs. Li had no objection to them. After all, how could they get past them and give Li a favor? Third grandma's errand?
This makes them naturally angry.
But they were juniors and it was not easy for them to argue in front of Mrs. Li, so they told their aunt Wang about this matter.
Yes, Li Erlang's biological mother is the only unmarried concubine in the house, Aunt Wang.
In fact, Aunt Wang had already heard that Mrs. Li had arranged errands for Linlang but not for her daughter-in-law, so she had been angry for a long time, but she hadn't found the opportunity to get angry yet.
At this moment, her son came over to express his grievances. She felt sorry for her son and lost her temper. She didn't care whether she found a chance to get angry or not, so she directly told Mr. Li about the matter.
Aunt Wang cried: "My wife is too partial. The third grandma has arranged errands for her just a few days after she came in. The second grandma has been here for several years and she still has no errands. She treats Erlang just because he doesn't come out of my wife's belly." Not good, but Erlang is also the master's son, and his wife is also the master's daughter-in-law, aren't they all the same? How can the wife treat one master's son favorably than the other? "
I have to say that Aunt Wang is good at talking, and she immediately spoke to Mr. Li's heart. In addition, although Aunt Wang is thirty or forty years old, she is well-maintained and was a great beauty before - —If you’re not pretty, you won’t be able to climb into bed successfully. —You’re still not ugly now, and you’re crying like a pear blossom. Mr. Li feels distressed when he sees it, and he can’t help but get angry at the moment, thinking, yes, no matter which son, He is my son. As my head wife, how can you treat him differently? Yes, it is different for you, after all, some of them were not born to you, but for me, all sons are the same. If you dare to treat them differently, I will not be happy.
First wife? What's so great about being a head wife? If I admit that you are the legal wife, if I don’t admit it and divorce you, will you still be the legal wife? Have you not figured out your identity?
People who grew up reading "Nu Jie" and other "Four Books on Women", how come they don't know that their husband is their heaven? Dare you treat your husband’s son differently?
So Mr. Li immediately told Mrs. Li about this matter.
——Of course Mr. Li will not admit that he prefers his beautiful concubine to his wife. Anyway, he can find reasonable reasons to make Mrs. Li speechless.
But yes, in ancient times where the husband is the most important thing, it is true that the husband has whatever he says. How can a wife dare to talk back? After all, wouldn’t that violate the “Sage” Dong’s “Three Cardinal Guidelines” and the “Wife Cardinal Guide”? When the time comes, the husband can find a reason to divorce his wife.
So sometimes, Linlang found it interesting to see some modern people envying the authority of ancient wives over concubines. In ancient times, both wives and concubines were the property of men. If a man gave face to his wife, then the wife would have status. If he didn't give The real wife divorced her, what could she do?
He also said that he has authority over concubine Ji. Concubine Ji is also a man’s property. How dare you harm a man’s property? That's fine if he doesn't care about it. If he cares about it, even if he continues to beat you out of your wits, your natal family may not dare to take care of it. Otherwise, you will be known as a natal family interfering with your husband's housekeeper, and no other girl from your natal family will dare to marry you in the future.
Considering the marriages of other girls in the family, most people really don't dare to care about the bullying of a married woman in her husband's family.
So in ancient times, monogamy was said to be monogamy, but in fact it was polygamy. Monogamy on the surface was just an excuse for men to show off. After all, although there are main wives and concubines, in fact, main wives really don’t dare to have concubines. A concubine that can be taken care of must be a concubine that a man doesn't care about; and a concubine that is favored can also make a man divorce his wife - if nothing else, there are countless queens who have abolished their wives in order to support their wives. From this, we can see that with the so-called status of a head wife, a man can divorce her if he wants to. If he doesn't divorce, it's because he doesn't want to divorce, not because he can't.
What does it mean to regard your husband as your heaven? This is to regard your husband as your heaven. The male master has absolute control over his wives and concubines. He can do whatever he wants. It is said that he has a monogamous wife and multiple concubines, but in fact, the essence is to enjoy multiple spouses (or in other words) Property), it's just that the slave owners divided these properties into lower grades, and the price of the head wife was slightly more expensive.
That’s right, there must be someone in charge of a bunch of women, right? The head wife is the one in charge. Her power comes from the slave owner. If the slave owner can reward her with power, he can also take it back.
So needless to say, when Mr. Li stepped forward and asked Mrs. Li why he treated his second son differently and didn’t arrange any errands for him, Mrs. Li could only compromise and give Mrs. Li something to do even if she was angry. The family arranged errands.
All she could do was to do some tricks and assign some painful and unprofitable errands to Grandma Li.
Seeing that it was such a bad job, Mrs. Li naturally didn't like it, so she told her husband that she wanted her husband to continue mentioning this matter to Aunt Wang, and for Aunt Wang to continue crying to Mr. Li, asking for a good job.
However, Li Erlang persuaded him, saying that he could not disturb his father all the time, lest he would get bored, so he should do it first and wait for a while before letting his aunt cry.
——He is a man and he knows that men don’t like women who are greedy and have already got an errand. If there is still a fight and they insist on a good errand, Mr. Li will certainly help, but he is afraid that he will have a bad impression of them. , so it’s better not to talk about it for the time being. It won’t be too late to talk about it when there is a chance.
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Li temporarily accepted it.
