Chapter 209 The Mistress Is Too Tired 9
When Mrs. Zhou heard Linlang say that the eldest room would not be responsible for the expenses of the third room in the future, she jumped up when she heard it. Repeating the old saying, she said: "The imperial concubine gave We don’t want the rewards, they are all given to the public. If this is the case, why can’t we let the public spend it?..."
Linlang said calmly: "Do you want me to list the Imperial Concubine's reward with your expenses over the years to see how much advantage you have taken from us? Besides, is the Imperial Concubine a reward for you? In the name of the previous reward , all belong to the Duke of the country, even if it is said that you have a share, at most it is an equal share, how come it becomes yours alone when it comes to your mouth? Now that something has happened to the Duke and he is back, the Imperial Concubine does not need to win over our family and has not given us rewards. Why should we still bear the expenses of your family? There is no such reason. There is no other family in Beijing. This is how it is done.”
“Don’t say far away, let’s just say your natal family, your cousin’s family, will you bear the expenses of your natal family? ? Your family is not responsible for your family, but your cousin's family is responsible for it? If you think my family should bear your family's expenses, then that's fine. Wait until your cousin's family pays for your natal family's expenses. Mention this matter to me, after all, I want to be in line with the imperial concubine’s family.”
Mrs. Zhou was left speechless by Linlang.
Her family has to rely on her cousin's family to take care of her family. How dare she ask her cousin's family to bear the expenses of her natal family? She wishes she could have her family bear the expenses of her cousin's natal family, so that she can curry favor with her cousin.
So seeing Linlang say this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't say anything else. She could only go back angrily, wanting to discuss with her mother-in-law and husband what to do about this matter.
Master Zhou said there was nothing he could do, because he knew that his family was being unreasonable. As for Mrs. Zhou, her whole body was still sore. She couldn't sleep well at night due to the soreness, and her temper had become increasingly irritable recently. At the same time, People are getting older and more haggard. After hearing what my daughter-in-law said, I became angry and came to Linlang to argue.
"Why do you cut off my son's expenses?!"
Linlang was speechless and said: "I didn't see your mother's brother raising your concubine brother. Wait until your brother does. My concubine brother, come and discuss this matter with me again.”
Mrs. Zhou said: "My brother is a concubine, and your third brother is a legitimate brother, so how can it be the same?"
Linlang: "For us, there is no difference. Anyway, we are not sons of the same mother. Anyway, you When did my brother-in-law raise your younger brothers? Come and tell me about raising a third bedroom in our big house."
Actually, it is useless for Mrs. Zhou to come and argue, because as long as Linlang doesn't give. , they can’t get it either.
Even if Mrs. Zhou tells this matter, others will not take her side. After all, no brother has separated, and the brother is rich. Not only can he not support himself, but he also needs his brother. To support his whole family.
What's more important is that now that the elder brother is disabled, he is disabled, and he still needs the elder brother to take care of the whole family of his younger brother who has good hands and feet. No matter where she goes, no one will think she is reasonable.
So even if she couldn't argue with Linlang, no one would help her if she went outside.
Old Madam Zhou is not stupid, she naturally understands this, so seeing that Linlang is not making a fuss here, she wants to talk to Zhou Guogong for argument, but after Zhou Guogong refuses to see her because of physical discomfort, she has no choice. .
In the past, when Zhou Guogong didn't see her, she could still stand on the moral high ground and say that he was unfilial. But now, Zhou Guogong is still lying in bed recuperating. If she wants to say this to him outside, people outside will only She would scold her as a vicious stepmother, while her stepson was still lying in bed recuperating and feeling unwell. She even scolded her as being unfilial for not seeing her.
The emperor has a good relationship with Zhou Guogong. If he dares to say such things about Zhou Guogong outside, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, he will probably make the emperor unhappy and cause trouble for his family, which will not be good. . So there was nothing she could do if Zhou Guogong didn't see her.
This made her realize that something happened to Duke Zhou, which seemed to be disadvantageous to her. She had not noticed it before.
Not to mention anything else, at least when she made trouble for the big house, she used to rely on her status as an elder to stand on the moral high ground and be able to blackmail them; but now, something happened to Zhou Guogong, she could stand on the moral high ground. The one who has the commanding heights is Zhou Guogong. If she dares to cause trouble for the big house, as long as Zhou Guogong is miserable, there will be a lot of people calling her vicious without saying anything. Could it be that something happened to Zhou Guogong and it will be very detrimental to her?
Linlang is fine. She can rely on her status as an elder to instruct Linlang to bear the expenses of the third bedroom, otherwise it would be Linlang being unfilial.
But Linlang said, now that Zhou Guogong has fallen, the income of the family is only the income of his own village, which is not enough to support his own family. He also has to afford three houses, which is unaffordable. Then the pressure of a big house will be Big, unbearable, days Life was so tight that the masters of the family were crying to people outside, saying that Mrs. Zhou relied on her status as an elder to force the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to support the young and rich third bedroom without money. People outside would then She has no control over their family.
Don’t say that Dafang’s eldest son has grown up and is not old, weak, sick or disabled, because I have only heard that my uncle took care of my nephew’s family who had an accident, but I have never heard that something happened to my nephew’s family. From the uncle's house who raised a good son.
Mrs. Zhou knew clearly that Linlang was a threat, but she was really worried about their family's reputation.
In addition, Mrs. Zhou said that she wanted to live a divorce, but her family should bear the expenses and would not have the trouble of a big house. Mrs. Zhou stopped making trouble because she was not feeling well.
And what did Mrs. Wednesday think about it? Because the accompanying roommate told her that if the concubines of the third master followed suit in the future, her son would also be asked to take care of all the other rooms. She said that the elders had come here like this, so why not take care of her if it was their fault? How to deal with it?
——These words were naturally brought to the ears of her companion by someone sent by Linlang.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she thought it was reasonable, so she let it go. After all, she couldn't bear the thought of her son having to support his brothers after Mr. Zhou passed away.
But this is how her family forced her to raise her. If those bastards bring this matter up, she really won't be able to find a way to deal with it.
So sometimes when people do things, they have to compare their hearts with their hearts, otherwise they will have to do things they shouldn’t do. If they happen to themselves in the future, they should do something different. Don’t let others poke their spines to death. She is decent. She is the cousin of the imperial concubine, and she doesn’t want to be criticized when she goes out in the future.
Because of thinking of these, Mrs. Wednesday stopped playing. Otherwise, this would not happen. With Mrs. Wednesday’s mind, she would never have thought of this.
There is no need to support three houses, and the house can save more than 10,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop. This is not a small amount of money. With this money, Linlang is thinking about buying some houses in the future and waiting for them to increase in value. If you go out, you can make more money.
