It's normal for Mr. Li to react so quickly. After all, he is someone who has gotten into a book of affairs - although his character is not very good.
After all, if you want to find someone with good character and cooperate with someone else's natal family, you will definitely respect your wife, and you won't abuse her just because your natal family doesn't care about the life or death of your married woman.
But how did he do it? If you look at Li Erlang and Li Dalang, who are less than one year apart, you can tell that Aunt Wang crawled into bed when Mrs. Li was pregnant.
In other words, Mr. Li took a beautiful concubine into his wife when she was pregnant. After that, he continued to dote on her and gave birth to four children with her - two died in infancy and only two survived - and he always treated her as a concubine. Mrs. Li's face was pressed against the ground and she was rubbing her face. He didn't even give the other party a job, but Mr. Li had to stand up for the other party and reprimand Mrs. Li.
For such a person, there is really no way to say that the other person has a good character.
After all, Mrs. Li did not abuse his concubine and concubine, but she did not give him money for the housekeeper's errands. This does not mean that he must give it to him. After all, does it have to be given to people who are incompetent? ——Li Erlang and his wife are indeed incompetent people. This is one of the reasons why Mrs. Li did not give them any errands, lest they not only fail to manage the family but also create trouble. Otherwise, if they are capable, they do not need to learn from Mrs. Li. If you grab a job as a housekeeper here, you will have a promising future - Mr. Li thought it was not possible, jumped up and scolded her, and did not give Mrs. Li any face.
Even if Mrs. Li said that Li Erlang and his wife were incompetent and unsuitable as housekeepers and would cause trouble, Mr. Li would not listen. He felt that Mrs. Li was treating them differently, so Mrs. Li had no choice but to give them a job as a housekeeper. Errands.
Linlang felt that, depending on the ability of Li Erlang and his wife, sooner or later they would cause trouble as Mrs. Li said.
Linlang guessed right, no, as soon as they got the errand, Li Erlang and his wife didn't think about how to take care of the errand, they just thought about how to make money.
Although the errands assigned to them by Mrs. Li are not very profitable, there are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as you think about it, you can always find a way.
In fact, although they were a little transparent in the government, they were not short of money, because Li Erlang's biological mother was very favored, and Mr. Li gave Aunt Wang a lot of money in private, so they were not short of money.
At most, they have little status. After all, Li Erlang has little ability, and Aunt Wang also likes to make trouble by jumping up and down, and the same is true for her son Li Erlang. Who will like them in this way.
If you have little ability and are not liked by others, you will naturally have little status.
After all, although Aunt Wang is favored, she has no real power. Everyone does not need to be afraid of her. They can naturally express their thoughts freely. Seeing her jumping up and down is annoying, so you don't have to like her if you don't like her.
This is also the reason why Li Erlang and his wife want to manage the house.
They also know why they have no status in the government. Is it because they have no power? If they had power, who would dare to look down on them, or who would rush to curry favor with them?
It's just that I couldn't find a reason to be a housekeeper before. After all, there are so many houses in this house and there are so many masters and masters. It's impossible for everyone to be a housekeeper. Generally, only people with a certain status can be housekeepers.
They live in the same house as a concubine, so it would be difficult for a concubine to take care of the house, so they would definitely consider a direct descendant first. In a house like Mr. Li Er and others, the only ones who would be assigned some errands are the direct descendants, and it would be difficult for a concubine to get any errands.
Mainly because there were too many people, the cake was not divided enough. After all, the big cake of Li family affairs was originally divided into four pieces in Mr. Li's generation - Mr. Li and his four brothers each received their own. Got something to do.
Although this errand is divided between Mr. Li, the head of the family, and Mrs. Li, the wife of the clan, no matter what, the cake left for Mr. Li's house will definitely become smaller.
It would be difficult to divide such a small cake further down. The main thing is to give it to Mrs. Li’s eldest daughter-in-law. After all, she is the future clan daughter-in-law and should be exposed to these affairs earlier; the rest needs to be divided. If it is given to some of Madam Li's confidants or other members of the family that she needs to win over, there is no room for Li Erlang.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li actually gave the errands to Li Sanlang's wife, which gave him an excuse. After all, he was also the son of Mr. Li. It was normal for Li Dalang's wife to have errands. Why did Li Sanlang's daughter-in-law also have errands? Doesn’t his family have one?
Sure enough, when he made a fuss like this, he caused trouble.
Although this job of cleaning the whole house seemed tedious and did not bring much profit, it was by no means as popular as shopping and other errands, and he didn't like it either.
But this job also has an advantage, that is, there are many people.
After all, he has to be responsible for the cleaning of the entire mansion. If he doesn't have many people, it's definitely not possible. You must know that Li's mansion is very big.
Although each small courtyard will be cleaned by its own servants, there are many public places, so there must be a lot of people cleaning.
With so many people under Li Erlang's control, many people are bound to want to please him. This is what makes Li Erlang the happiest. After all, what he wants is to have status. Now that there are so many people trying to please him, he Isn’t that very prestigious?
——The only fly in the ointment is that most of these cleaning people are older and have no background (generally the people who do cleaning are older people). These people have little status in the house, and they are ignored by these people. There doesn't seem to be much use in trying to please.
But no matter what, it's always better than before when no one wanted to please.
It's good to have someone to fawn over, but the two want to make money more, and the way to make money is very simple - after they took over the job, they quickly drove away some people they couldn't stand, and then installed their own people.
There is no fear that the people who are being driven away will not have jobs, because they are all people with prostitution contracts in the government. If they no longer work here, they will go back to Mrs. Li, who will re-arrange their jobs.
Mrs. Li saw that Li Erlang and his wife had driven away many people and installed their people, so it didn't matter. Anyway, the errands were theirs, so she could just let them do whatever they wanted, so she didn't bother to take care of them.
But these two people not only drove people away and installed their own people, but also paid them empty wages. On the surface, they filled the positions vacated by the people they drove away, but in fact they just filled in the names and had no real identity. people.
They drove away thirty people and only replaced ten of their own people. The other twenty people were all fake. They just wanted to get free money.
Although the salary of these sweepers is not high, the monthly salary is only 500 taels of silver. Twenty people put together only have 10 taels of silver a month - in this world, one thousand taels of silver is one tael - it does not seem like that It was a lot, but for Li Erlang and his wife who didn't have much money, it was still a lot of money, so they naturally wanted it.
Although Li Erlang's biological mother, Aunt Wang, was favored, they were usually not short of money, but at most they were not short of money, but they didn't have much money, so they coveted even ten taels of money.
What's more, they will delay the distribution of other people's money just to use it as loan sharks.
