Xu Shichu's eyes widened in shock. Although she was mentally prepared to be asked for flowers, she was surprised when she heard Qin Mei ask for flowers so confidently. Not most women in this era are Are you reserved and self-respecting? Is there such a person who asks people for things outright?
How can she be so thick-skinned?
"No, my flowers are useful and cannot be given away casually." Xu Shichupi said to her with a smile.
"Mom, I just want a few kinds. You have so many, aren't they enough?" Qin Mei didn't expect that Xu Shichu actually refused her, and still asked without giving up.
Xu Shichu's face turned cold: "No matter how much you give me, it's not enough. I can give it to me if I want to, but I won't if I don't want to give it to you. Now I just don't want to give it to you. You'd better not be too greedy."
After hearing her unkind words, Qin Mei was immediately ashamed and angry: "Where am I greedy? It's because my mother is so stingy that she doesn't even want to give me a few flowers... Sure enough, it's because my husband is not your biological child, so Don’t you even want to see me as your daughter-in-law?”
Xu Shichu was extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior that wanted to blame others without taking advantage. She sneered and said: "Yes, I just don't want to see you asking for things with empty teeth. Don't say that your husband is not my biological child." , even if he is my biological child, if he wants something from me, it depends on whether I am willing or not! Who do you think you are?"
"You! You! My husband is the prime minister's only son. If you treat me like this now, aren't you afraid that you will be left homeless in the future?" Qin Mei said without hesitation.
Xu Shichu snorted coldly: "I am homeless? What does it have to do with me that he is the only son of the prime minister? I don't need him to support me when I am old. Now that I am still young, you can use this name to covet my things. When I am old, Now, you still don’t know how to train me, so thinking about it, I might as well count on my nephew instead of counting on you and your wife."
"Kick her out. She won't be allowed in my yard from now on!" Xu Shichu didn't bother to argue with Qin Mei and directly ordered the servant girl to kick her out.
"How dare you do this to me! I will definitely tell my husband and Prime Minister..." Qin Mei cursed angrily as she was dragged away.
"You despicable things, let me go quickly! I am a young lady. If you dare to do this to me, I will not let you go. I will sell you to a brothel..." Qin Mei yelled at the servant girl who dragged her out. .
However, these servants were all chosen by Xu Shichu, and the deeds of sale were in her hands and were not under the control of the prime minister's government at all. Therefore, even if Qin Mei said that they would be sold, they would not care at all, because their master was very protective of his shortcomings.
Xu Shichu breathed a sigh of relief after finally driving away the annoying people. Xiao Zhaozhao held a red strawberry and stared curiously at Qin Mei and the others as they were pulled away, and then asked Xu Shichu:
"Auntie, does that person want our Huahua?"
"Yes, she was so brave that she asked me to give it to her, and she was very open-minded." Xu Shichu said sarcastically, and then told Xiao Zhaozhao, "Zhao'er, don't imitate her and just ask for things from people. That's not good. It’s not a good habit. The only people who can ask people for things casually are beggars.”
When Xiao Zhaozhao heard this, he quickly shook his head: "I don't want to be a dirty beggar!"
Xu Shichu touched his round head and said, "Yes, we have to live with a little self-respect. If we want something, we should work hard to get it ourselves. Don't just ask others for it. It will be looked down upon."
Xu Shichu is teaching the children here, while Qin Mei is mad at being driven away. She is not a lady of good family background, she is just the daughter of a squire and landlord. Naturally, her etiquette and upbringing are far behind. I don’t know how to deal with people, so I can behave like asking my mother-in-law for something.
She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. Instead, she thought that it was wrong for others not to meet her requirements. Moreover, Xu Shichu drove her out roughly. Therefore, she was so humiliated that she angrily dismissed her as soon as she returned to her yard. They went outside the house to wait for Luo Rui and Luo Changqing to come back, preparing to sue Xu Shichu severely.
After slamming the furnishings in her room and letting out a sigh of relief, Qin Mei calmed down a little, but she was still resentful towards Xu Shichu:
"How dare that vixen bitch do this to me! If it weren't for the fact that she is my nominal mother-in-law, I would have just removed all the flowers in her yard. How could I ask her for it in such a nice way? ? How shameless, she actually dared to reject me... She's just an unloved step-brother! Do you think I don't know that the Prime Minister doesn't want to see her at all? Humph!
When I tell her husband and prime minister, we will see if she still dares to be so arrogant! I asked her to grow flowers for me and be a flower farmer for the rest of my life! "
Although Qin Mei came from a humble background, her family had no worries about food and clothing. As the youngest daughter, she was also very favored, so she developed a willful and unruly character. However, she also had a good brother, and she was lucky because of his influence. Married to the hot and only son of the prime minister's house, this gave her even more arrogance and made her even more reluctant to see others disobey her.
When she first got married, she could restrain her temper and hide her true character, but now that she has taken over the housekeeping power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she feels that she has established a firm position in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she begins to reveal her true colors and looks down on those who do nothing. Stepmother-in-law is here.
"Young madam, you are right. The young master loves you so much, and he will definitely make the decision for you. You just want a few flowers, and the step-wife is not willing to do so. She is really stingy! You will still be the prime minister in the future. What about your mistress? Her flowers are not planted outside, but in the Prime Minister's Mansion. What's wrong with asking her to order flowers? Which of the things in the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't belong to you?"
Qin Mei's maid said coquettishly, flatteringly echoing Qin Mei's ideas, praising Qin Mei and stepping on Xu Shichu, which made Qin Mei feel more and more that she was doing the right thing.
"You're right girl, I have the right to manage the house, and I am the only mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. That bitch just has the title of Mrs. How audacious." Qin Mei mocked.
The eldest maid rolled her eyes and gave her some advice: "Speaking of housekeeping rights... Young Madam, you can ask your servants to stumbling upon the step-wife so that she can't tell her sufferings. See if she can still Do you dare to offend you?"
Qin Mei suddenly felt enlightened, enlightened, her eyes lit up, and she praised: "You still have an idea. All the servants in the house are under my control. If I want to make her unhappy, she can't avoid it. Let’s see how long she can be stubborn. When she comes to beg me, it won’t be something that just a few flowers can solve..."
The master and servant began to plot to give Xu Shichu some color, but Qin Mei didn't know that although she had the housekeeping rights, the housekeeping rights did not include the people and things in Xu Shichu's yard.
