It's normal for Mr. Li to react so quickly. After all, he is someone who has gotten into a book of affairs - although his character is not very good.
After all, if you are looking for someone with good character, you will definitely respect your wife if you cooperate with her natal family, and you will not abuse her just because her natal family does not care about the life or death of the married woman.
But how did he do it? Looking at the age difference between Li Erlang and Li Dalang, it can be seen that Aunt Wang crawled into bed when Mrs. Li was pregnant.
In other words, Mr. Li took a beautiful concubine when his wife was pregnant. After that, he continued to dote on her and gave birth to four children with her - two died in infancy and only one survived. The two——kept pressing Mrs. Li's face to the ground and rubbing it. They didn't even give each other an errand. Mr. Li also wanted to stand up for the other party and reprimand Mrs. Li.
For a person like this, there is really no way to say that the other person has a good character.
After all, Mrs. Li did not abuse his concubine and concubine, but she did not give it to him for the housekeeper's errands. This does not mean that he must give it. After all, does it have to be given to people who are incompetent? ——Li Erlang and his wife are indeed incompetent people. This is one of the reasons why Mrs. Li did not give them any errands, lest they not only fail to manage the family but also create trouble. Otherwise, if they are capable, they do not need to learn from Mrs. Li. If you grab a job as a housekeeper here, you will have a promising future - Mr. Li thought it was not possible, jumped up and scolded her, and did not give Mrs. Li any face.
Even if Mrs. Li said that Li Erlang and his wife were incompetent and unsuitable as housekeepers and would cause trouble, Mr. Li would not listen. He felt that Mrs. Li was treating her differently, leaving Mrs. Li helpless. I was given the job of a housekeeper.
Linlang felt that, depending on the ability of Li Erlang and his wife, sooner or later they would cause trouble as Mrs. Li said.
Linlang guessed right, no, as soon as the errand was received, Li Erlang and his wife were not thinking about how to take care of the errand, but how to make money.
Although the errands assigned to them by Mrs. Li are not very lucrative, there are always more ways than difficulties. As long as you think about it, you can always find a way.
In fact, although they were a little transparent in the government, they were not short of money, because Li Erlang's biological mother was very favored, and Mr. Li gave Aunt Wang a lot of money in private, so they were not short of money.
At most, they have little status. After all, Li Erlang has little ability, and Aunt Wang also likes to make trouble by jumping up and down. The same is true for her son Li Erlang. In this way, who will like them.
If you have little ability and are not liked by others, you will naturally have little status.
After all, although Aunt Wang is favored, she has no real power. You don’t have to be afraid of her. You can naturally express your thoughts freely. Seeing her jumping up and down is annoying, so you don’t have to like her if you don’t like her.
This is also the reason why Li Erlang and his wife want to manage the house.
They also know why they have no status in the government. Is it because they have no power? If they had power, who would dare to look down on them, or who would rush to curry favor with them?
It’s just that I couldn’t find a housekeeper before. After all, there are so many houses in this house and there are so many masters and masters. It is impossible for everyone to be housekeepers. Generally, only people with a certain status can be housekeepers.
They live together as a concubine, so it is difficult for a concubine to take care of the house, so they will definitely consider the direct descendants first. In the homes of Mr. Li Er and others, the only ones who will be assigned some errands are the direct descendants, and it is difficult for the concubines to get errands.
Mainly because there were too many people, the cake was not divided enough. After all, the big cake of Li family affairs was originally divided into four pieces in Mr. Li’s generation-the four brothers of Mr. Li Well, each room was given something to do.
Although this job is divided between Mr. Li, the head of the family, and Mrs. Li, the wife of the clan, no matter what, with this division, the cake left in Mr. Li’s room will definitely become smaller. . It would be difficult to divide such a small cake further down. The main thing is to give it to Mrs. Li’s eldest daughter-in-law. After all, she is the future clan daughter-in-law and should be exposed to these affairs earlier; the rest needs to be divided. If it is given to some of Madam Li's confidants or other members of the family that she needs to win over, there is no room for Li Erlang.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Li actually gave the errand to Li Sanlang's wife, which gave him an excuse. After all, he is also Mr. Li's son. It is normal for Li Dalang's wife to have errands. Why should Li Sanlang My daughter-in-law also has an errand, but his family doesn’t?
Sure enough, when he made a fuss like this, he caused trouble.
Although this job of cleaning the whole house seemed tedious and did not bring much profit, it was by no means as popular as errands such as purchasing, and he didn't like it either.
But this job also has an advantage, that is, there are many people.
After all, he has to be responsible for the cleaning of the entire mansion. If he doesn't have many people, it's definitely not possible. You must know that Li's mansion is very big.
Although each small courtyard will be cleaned by its own servants, there are many public places, so there must be a lot of people cleaning.
With so many people under Li Erlang's control, many people will inevitably want to please him. This is what makes Li Erlang the happiest. After all, what he wants is to have status, and now there are so many If people fawn over him, doesn’t he have a lot of status?
——The only flaw is that most of these people who clean are older and have no background (generally the people who do cleaning are older people), these people are in the house He doesn't have much status, and being courted by these people doesn't seem to be of much use.
But no matter what, it is always better than having no one to please before.
It's good to have someone to fawn over, but the two want to make money more, and the way to make money is very simple - after they took over the job, they quickly drove away some people they couldn't stand, and then installed their own people.
I am not afraid that the people who are evicted will not have jobs, because they are all people with prostitution contracts in the government. If they no longer work here, they will go back to Mrs. Li, who will rearrange them. Work.
Mrs. Li saw that Li Erlang and his wife had driven away many people and installed their people, so it didn't matter. Anyway, the errand was theirs, so she could just let them do whatever they wanted, so she didn't bother to take care of it.
But these two people not only drove people away, installed their own people, but also took empty pay - on the surface, they filled the positions vacated by those people they drove away, but in fact they just filled up the positions. Names, not real people.
They drove away thirty people and only replaced ten of their own people. The other twenty people were all fake. They just wanted to get free money.
Although the salary of these sweepers is not high, the monthly salary is only 500 taels of silver. Twenty people put together only have 10 taels of silver a month - in this world, one thousand taels of silver is one tael - it does not seem like that It was a lot, but for Li Erlang and his wife who didn't have much money, it was still a lot of money, so they naturally wanted it.
Although they are usually not short of money because Li Erlang's biological mother, Aunt Wang, is favored, but at most they are not short of money, but they don't have much money, so they covet even ten taels of money. of.
What's more, they will delay the distribution of other people's money just to use it as loan sharks.
