Aunt Lai turned to look at the pretty girl next to her. She had a slim waist, slender shoulders, and an outgoing look. Her eyebrows looked a bit like the cousin Lin Daiyu who had just arrived.
This Qingwen is clever and articulate. She plans to cultivate her for a period of time and then give it to Mrs. Shi of Rongguo Mansion after she develops feelings for her. The old lady likes pretty girls the most.
Not only does he please the old lady, but he can also forge a good relationship. If he becomes the master of the Rongguo Mansion in the future, he can also leave some help for the Lai family in the future.
This Jia Cong, an unpopular bastard, is not worthy of such a girl, let alone for the Lai family to befriend. Such a bastard will be kicked out of Rongguo Mansion in the future and will be of no use to the Lai family.
"Brother Cong, I want to give this girl Qingwen to the old lady, what? Do you still want to snatch it from the old lady?"
Aunt Lai directly moved the old lady out, hoping to make Jia Cong retreat. If it were the previous Jia Cong, he would have been frightened back. She would not dare to fight with the old lady even if she was beaten to death.
Jia Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. The Lai family didn't look down on him at all, let alone himself. She's just a girl, but she's using an old lady to hold her down.
"Aunt Lai, there are countless girls around the old lady, and there is no shortage of this girl. I really like this girl Qingwen. As long as Auntie agrees, how about treating me as a favor to the Lai family?"
Qingwen raised her head and carefully looked at Jia Cong in front of her. She saw that there was determination in his eyes without a trace of timidity, and she couldn't help but secretly admire him.
I heard that the old lady is the god of the Jia family. This young master Cong is not afraid. He is so calm at a young age. He comes to ask for her and says he likes her. Thinking of this, there is a ripple in his heart.
As a maid, you have to be with someone sooner or later. If you can be with someone who really likes you, your life in the future may be easier.
Seeing that Jia Cong was not scared off, Grandma Lai became even more impatient and her face became even more ugly.
"Brother Cong, you are unfilial to snatch the maid who respects the old lady. I will not give Qingwen to you. As a bastard, you must know your identity. Your favors are not valued by the family."
"Hmph, it's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat. I, the future magistrate, want this little beauty, but my grandmother won't give it to me. How can you, a bastard, deserve it?"
Following the voice, a young man in his twenties walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Jia Cong, you don't deserve to ask for anything from my Lai family. I, Lai Shangrong, have been freed from slavery and will be a dignified county magistrate. I will no longer be your slave. You'd better get out now." Let’s stay home.”
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Jia Cong's face. These are the good slaves of his Jia family. They no longer regard themselves as slaves and put themselves on an equal footing with the Jia family.
After Lai Shangrong got rid of his slave status, the Lai family could transfer all the family property to Lai Shangrong's name. Lai Da and others continued to suck blood from the Jia family and supported Lai Shangrong in developing the Lai family. In this way, the Jia family was sucked dry, but the Lai family grew stronger. .
Is he really a good calculator?
Jia Cong looked at Lai Da and asked, "Manager Lai, is this what you mean? You slaves are better than your masters."
Lai Da looked very ugly and glared at Jia Cong: "Although our Lai family are slaves, you, Jia Cong, are not our masters. You'd better leave and everyone should maintain their dignity."
Jia Cong took a deep look at Lai's family, turned around and left without saying another word.
I originally thought that she was just a maid. No matter how arrogant the Lai family was, they would not fall out with themselves over a maid. Don't you know that the Lai family did not regard themselves as their masters at all.
A mere Lai Shangrong dares to call me a toad. He really doesn't know how to live or die. He still wants to be a county magistrate? Hum, have your mother's sweet dream.
If you dare to insult this young master, you will pay the price.
Haha, Lai Jia, the Lai Jia is so awesome!
Since you look down on me, let me show you my methods. I hope you won’t regret it then!
Jia Cong returned to the East Road Courtyard, sat there and thought carefully about it. He regarded solving the Lai family as the first major issue at present. He carefully analyzed and deduced how to deal with various problems that the Lai family needed to face. .
The first is the old lady. If she wants to touch the Lai family, the old lady will not agree. After all, Aunt Lai is her maid. Although she cannot be sympathetic to her sisters, she has been with her for decades, so she is still a little bit Affectionate.
If it doesn't work, I'll hide it from her first, and tell her first. If so, I must keep it a secret. No one from the Lai family can be allowed to escape.
There are many examples in history of cutting weeds without eradicating the roots, but spring breezes will bring new growth.
Since you have offended your enemy, you cannot leave any trouble for yourself and those around you. Once it is dealt with, the old lady will accept it more easily.
The next step is to choose the time, use the fastest speed to clear the Lai Mansion and transport the belongings away.
Why! It's a pity that I don't have any available manpower now. Otherwise, I could have raided the Lai family secretly.
When you have money, you must first train a group of your own team.
Now I can only rely on strength. After much deliberation, the most reliable person is actually Jia She.
First of all, the relationship between the two is father and son. The possibility of betraying each other is almost non-existent. It is much more reliable than other relationships. Furthermore, Jia She was short of money. As the heir to the Rongguo Mansion, he had no rights to manage the house and did not have much money left.
Since the second aunt Wang became the housekeeper, in addition to getting money from her own hands, she also made a lot of money from the Wang family. In recent years, the Rongguo Mansion has gradually been unable to make ends meet and cannot get much money from the government.
Wang Xifeng even started to make loan sharks. Some of them were greedy, and some of them subsidized the public. They demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. The state of the Duke's mansion has fallen to this point, and it has to be lamented.
Just trying to convince Jia She is not that simple. After all, if he wants to agree, he will have to face the old lady's anger. Today he will do nothing but think about how to convince Jia She and take care of the Lai family as soon as possible.
"Third Young Master has eaten."
The little maid Yue Ya walked in with a food box and pulled Jia Cong out of his thoughts. Before he knew it, it was time for dinner.
Watching Yue Ya put the food on the table, there were actually two more dishes than usual, and they were much richer. She couldn't help but wonder, is today a good day?
"Yueya, today's food is good. Is there any happy event in the house?"
Yue Ya said happily: "Third Young Master, there is no happy event in the house. I went to get food today, and Sister-in-law Liu told me that from now on our food will be like this, and we will live a good life in the future."
So, I didn’t expect that I had taught Mrs. Liu a lesson and had such benefits, so it was not in vain.
Just in line with that sentence, if you are good, you will be bullied, and if you are good, you will be ridden. Only when you are strong, fierce, and domineering will others be afraid and understand that you are also a master.
"Next time you meet Sister-in-law Liu, tell her and tell her that I will remember her."
"Remember Third Young Master, I will convey your words to you."
After the two of them finished eating, they moved a little and digested the food in their stomachs. Jia Cong went to bed early and lay there perfecting the plan to deal with the Lai family and how to convince the cheap dad Jia She.
After thinking about it until late at night, a smile appeared on his face, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
