After listening to the servant's answer, Zhou Ruhai immediately felt that the servant was perfunctory, so he put on a straight face and said in a rather unhappy tone: "Asshole, you servants were all in the yard just now. , how could you not know how the young master dealt with Laifu?
You are clearly fooling me. Let me tell you, I am still the head of the family. If you slaves dare to disrespect me, I still have the right to kick you out. "
The more Zhou Ruhai said, the more angry he became. Because he spoke so quickly, his breathing became a little rapid. After saying the last sentence, he panted for a long time before his breathing gradually stabilized.
Mrs. Zhou, who was devout in chanting Buddha's name, suddenly became angry when she saw her master, so she quickly stood up, walked over and said, "Master, why are you so angry? You have to talk to the servants at home over such a trivial matter. Losing your temper, do you think it's worth it?
Look at what made you so angry. If outsiders saw it, they would think something big happened to our family. "
As Mrs. Zhou spoke, she massaged her master's back, hoping in this way to calm his anger and restore his normal breathing rhythm.
The servant who was scolded originally thought that if he told a lie casually, his master would be dismissed, but he really did not expect that instead of letting it go, his master would get angry and scold him.
This servant felt angry and aggrieved, thinking that it was too difficult to be an errand in the Zhou family. He worked hard, but disaster fell from the sky. The question that the master asked on a whim was originally a big trap. If he said To be honest, if you tell your master about the situation outside, he will be happy, but once the young master knows the truth, he will definitely cause trouble for you.
If you don't tell your master the truth, you will get the consequences in front of you. When your master is so angry, not only will you face punishment, but there will also be a big question mark as to whether you can keep your job.
Although he feels aggrieved, this servant dare not say a word now, because he knows very well that now that his master is angry, he will definitely not listen to any sweet words. If he opens his mouth to defend himself now, he will only get angry. Adding fuel to the fire made my master hate me even more.
It was precisely because he had figured this out that the servant stood on the ground and pretended to be frightened, hoping to arouse his master's sympathy in this way so that he would let him go.
Because of his poor breathing, Zhou Ruhai felt dizzy and his hands and feet were numb after being furious. If Mrs. Zhou hadn't come to support him, he might have fallen to the ground.
In order to alleviate his uncomfortable feeling, he quickly sat on a chair nearby and said breathlessly to Mrs. Zhou: "Did you see it? I still have some breath, and I haven't given up my position as the head of the family to anyone else. , As a result, these servants no longer take me seriously. How do you think this can make people not angry?
Do you think the question I asked him just now is difficult to answer? These servants were all in the yard just now. Would he not know how his son dealt with Laifu?
It is impossible for him not to know that the reason why he is perfunctory with me is because he thinks that our son is better than me. The position of the head of the family must belong to our son. In order to please our son, he treats me like a monkey. Play. "
The servant who had been pretending to be pitiful next to him was shocked when he heard his master say this. He really didn't expect that his master's mind was so good, and he guessed his thoughts correctly. Most of it.
The reason why this servant told the lie just now was actually because he didn't want to offend his young master. As for the idea of trying to please his young master, he really didn't have any intention of doing so.
However, this servant carefully reflected in his heart and felt that what the master said was not unreasonable. Perhaps in his heart, he really felt that his young master was better than the master, so his attitude towards his master was unconsciously perfunctory. , but this subtle idea only exists in the subconscious, and he is not aware of it.
After understanding this, the grievance and dissatisfaction in this servant's heart instantly decreased a lot. At this time, he just hoped that the situation would not develop to the worst, otherwise the consequences would be difficult to deal with, even if his young master knew this. It's hard to say anything if you want to excuse yourself. After all, he is also involved in this matter. For a little servant like himself, he would offend his father. A smart man like the young master would definitely not do this. Such a stupid thing.
After the idea of placing the hope of rescue on others was shattered, the servant felt much calmer. For practical reasons, he only hoped that his master could calm down a little under the advice of his wife. Give yourself a chance to explain. Only in this way can he get through this difficult situation.
In fact, when Mrs. Zhou was reciting the Buddha's name just now, she heard her master getting angry and losing his temper with his servants. Originally, she didn't want to care about this matter. After all, she had spent too much because of Yi Ming's incident. At this time, The reason why she fiddled with the beads and recited the Buddha's prayers was, on the one hand, to pray for her son, and on the other hand, she also wanted to take this opportunity to restore her physical strength and spirit. After all, the whole family would be sitting together for dinner soon, although she had already drank before that. After eating the porridge cooked by her son, she was not hungry at all, but she had to attend this feast.
The reason is simple. Although she is no longer hungry, her son is still hungry. In order for her son to have a full meal at this banquet, she must attend this scene no matter what, so that her son can rest assured. Only In this way, his son can eat freely without any worries.
Precisely because she had such thoughts in her mind, she did not immediately stand up to stop her master from losing his temper. Instead, she felt that the servant was so annoying that he did things so carelessly before the banquet started that it attracted the attention of others. His master was so furious. Even if he was punished by his master because of this incident, he deserved it and did not deserve mercy.
But just when Mrs. Zhou was about to hang up the matter and ignore it, she suddenly had a second thought and felt that the matter was not that simple. Seeing that her son had finished handling Laifu and was about to go into the house for dinner, if his master and This servant is still making trouble, and if it becomes known to everyone in the house, it will not only affect everyone's mood for eating, but may even ruin the banquet, because after all, my master is now the head of the family, if he is not in the mood to eat If so, no matter how greedy others are or how hungry they are, they won't be able to enjoy the feast to themselves.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou finally realized the seriousness of the matter, so she walked over to persuade him. Her purpose was to reduce the big matter to a trivial matter, so that this matter would not affect everyone's meal as much as possible.
Mrs. Zhou originally thought that the conflict between her master and the servant was just a trivial matter. As long as she tried to persuade her, the matter would be resolved quickly. However, after seeing the fearful expression of the servant, she suddenly Realizing that this matter may not be that simple, it may not be that easy to resolve his master's anger.
The subsequent development of the matter also verified Mrs. Zhou's idea. After Zhou Ruhai complained for a while, Mrs. Zhou was shocked because she discovered a terrible thing. Although the conflict was between her master and the servant, the person who caused the conflict was The trigger was her son, and he was obedient. She felt that when her master spoke, both inside and outside his words were full of dissatisfaction with her son.
Mrs. Zhou frowned and glanced at the servant who made the mistake. She couldn't help but want to get angry. She thought, why is this servant so troubled? The father and son were originally at war with each other, and they almost came to blows today. I finally managed to persuade them to reconcile, but this servant came to stir up trouble and make my master angry. For this crime alone, he should be punished. The people were swept out and driven out of the Zhou Mansion.
Although she had the intention and thought of driving this servant out of the house, Mrs. Zhou also understood that now is not the time to do so, because once she puts her idea into action, it will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse. My master's anger increased, which made things even more difficult to handle.
Mrs. Zhou had no sympathy for this erring servant, and felt that he deserved to be kicked out of the house. She was not even worried about her master being angry. After all, her master was petty-minded and spent more than half of the year being angry with others. Anyway, he was used to getting angry, so this time wouldn't be too much.
The only thing that Mrs. Zhou can't bear is to let her son starve. After all, her son narrowly escaped death last night and hasn't had a full meal yet. If his meal is delayed by these two idiots, what if he gets starved? , as a mother, who can she count on in the future?
In order to put her son in a good mood for dinner, Mrs. Zhou made up her mind to finish this matter before Zhou Ming entered the house.
She thought carefully for a moment, then said with a smile to her master: "Master, please calm down first, these servants are rough-handed and very stupid, and they will inevitably make you angry if they speak without thinking through their brains.
Don't think too much about it. Their brains don't have that many tricks up their sleeves.
If you don't believe it, I'll cross-examine him for you. If you really want to ask about something crooked, don't be angry, I'll send him away for you. "
Zhou Ruhai was sitting on a chair at this time, blowing his beard and staring righteously. The complaints he just made to his wife were actually just helpless actions in a desperate situation. He knew his wife's temper best. Mrs. Zhou was usually tolerant and very considerate. Servant, at such a critical moment, she would definitely not stand up and teach that servant a lesson for herself.
