Chen Jiaojiao felt that her mother-in-law was too thoughtful.
She was indeed thinking about adding one or two more people, mainly because there were so many people living in the house now. For example, yesterday, the cousin went to Baohui Courtyard by herself. At that time, her mother-in-law went to help her go to the kitchen and stare at the chicken soup. , and a big maid next to her was doing embroidery work, and another one kept coughing, so she stayed in the room and did not come out.
At that time, it seemed that there were few manpower.
She couldn't let her cousin continue wandering around alone, and she couldn't really let her stay here all the time. Someone had to inform her aunt, so that if someone came to find someone, she wouldn't cause chaos?
She told Xie Ronghui her idea last night, but Xie Ronghui didn't object. He only said that she had to go to her mother for permission when adding people to the yard.
Chen Jiaojiao originally came here to get a maid, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law would bring it up first today.
"Mom is so considerate. When my cousin suddenly ran to Baohui Courtyard yesterday, my daughter-in-law was also shocked."
"This kid loves to run around, and he really scared your aunt yesterday. She even said she wanted to thank you."
"My aunt is too polite. But my cousin is still young, so she still needs someone to follow her."
"I also told her about this. Let's do this. I'll ask your Aunt Gu to find a dental shop. I'll bring a dozen people over later in the afternoon. Then you can go and choose. Remember, don't choose too young. The older ones, as long as they look smart and diligent, but the ones who are dishonest and law-abiding will not be allowed in our family."
"Yes, mother."
Liu Ruolan was worried that the daughter educated by such a wealthy family would be too virtuous.
If she took the initiative to take in a wife or a concubine for Xie Ronghui, she would be really dumbfounded.
But there were some things that Liu Ruolan couldn't explain too clearly. After all, she was just a mother-in-law, so she couldn't be too straightforward.
Therefore, she can only mention it vaguely now.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law has remembered it."
"There has been some chaos at home these days. Your father also discussed it with your uncle and third uncle last night. The rain has been heavy these days, and we will be ready to leave in a few days. I want to let people Go to Fuyuan Villa to get some specialties for them to take back. When you get back, you can come over and have a look, and then bring some to your mother."
Chen Jiaojiao was flattered and said, "Thank you, mother."
Liu Ruolan smiled and said: "Don't be so restrained. The boys at home will all leave tomorrow, and Brother Hui will also go with him. You'd better help him prepare more things. The next time he comes back will be ten days later."
"Yes, mother." Chen Jiaojiao's face turned red again.
It is rare to have a holiday, so Xie Xiuwen was generous and allowed the children to rest for a few more days. However, they did not skip homework during these few days at home.
Although Lu Jie stayed at Xie's house for seven or eight days, he never found a chance to talk to Xie Xiuwen alone. He was still thinking about whether he could leave his son here.
In addition to tutoring several children's homework every day, Xie Xiuwen also has to deal with official business in Dali. Even if he is not on duty, he still has to run errands at home. In addition, he has to chat with the adults who come and go these days. Naturally, Too busy to even touch the ground.
The day Chen Jiaojiao came back, Xie Xiuwen canceled his leave. There were so many things, so he and Xu Youcheng still had to deal with them.
Xie Xiuying asked people to keep an eye on Lu Shuangshuang and not let her run out again, and then went to discuss it with Liu Ruolan.
Xie Xiuying really wanted to keep her daughter. Not only that the conditions here were good, but that she would have more contact with the gentlemen and ladies here in the future, so naturally she no longer needed to worry about the marriage!
However, Liu Ruolan would not go as she wanted.
Xie Xiuying said with a sullen face: "Second sister-in-law is now rich, so she looks down on us relatives? I didn't say what's wrong, you just refused. What's the matter, can the children of my eldest brother and third brother's family be here? You guys can live here, but my children can’t? Are you just treating me as an outsider?"
Liu Ruolan saw that she had a tendency to act up, and quickly explained: "We are both young, and it is the time when we are getting close to you. How can we stay here and separate your flesh and blood? Besides, this child is a bit naive. If he really stays, he will point out She might get seriously ill, can my sister really bear it?"
Xie Xiuying was so angry that she immediately stood up: "What do you mean by this, second sister-in-law? I just want you to help take care of us both. You want to curse her when you open your mouth? Didn't I also bring Sister Lan with me at the beginning?" How many years have you lived in the Lu family? Now that your area is prosperous, can't you help my daughter?"
The corner of Liu Ruolan's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, you also said that you are bringing Xie Ronglan, not my daughter.
When I was in my hometown, it was hard to give my daughter anything but a smile.
Now when I mention the past, I am really not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue.
"As I said before, I can't accept this matter. I heard that the life of the Lu family is pretty good, my brother-in-law is doing well, and there are people in the Lu family who are working in the government office. They are decent and can support the family. Why should my sister insist on leaving her daughter at the Xie family? Woolen cloth?"
The implication is that the Xie family is not in the habit of raising children for the Lu family.
"Hey, Second Sister-in-law, are you worried that we are eating and drinking here for free? Don't worry, we will give you as much money as you want a year!"
Liu Ruolan shook his head and looked at her with wrong eyes: "Sister, what you said is wrong again. Even if you take out a thousand taels of silver, I can't say it, and it still won't work."
The words were so clear, but Xie Xiuying was sure that Liu Ruolan was deliberately bullying her and looking down on her. She cried and said: "Okay, you are the second sister-in-law. You have the ability, but I can't compare with you. I will ask the second brother tonight. Let's see. Let’s see if my daughter has to call him uncle!”
Liu Ruolan sighed, why did this person do this?
It’s not like the Lu family is having a hard time, so why bother leaving their daughter here?
Besides, Lu Shuangshuang is young now. If she really waits until the time of marriage to take her back, it will take several years. She is not afraid that the child will be estranged from her again?
"Madam, I'm afraid I won't give up when I look at this aunt. Do you want someone to send a message to the master?"
"No need. My husband won't care about this kind of thing. Besides, Xie Xiuying's relationship with our family is not that close. When my husband asked her to borrow some money, my chin would be raised to the sky. Now, now Seeing that my husband has become an official, I was thinking about coming over to talk about the brother-sister relationship, how did I say this!"
Gu Shi understood.
So, if there is no spring breeze, what autumn rain are you looking forward to?
When Lu Jie learned that his daughter could not stay in the capital, he was not in a hurry. After thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that it was good.
They brought their children over. Since the matter left by Lu Shuangshuang was rejected, it would be easier to talk about Lu Xi's matter again.
Are we all decent people, or are we really relatives? You, Xie Xiuwen, have the nerve to repeatedly refuse to help your relatives?
