house life

Chapter 343 Careful
The next day, Xu Shaozhang went out to school early in the morning. Shu Ling originally wanted to send him to the gate of the courtyard, but Xu Shaozhang politely refused.

Shu Ling stood at the door of her small yard and watched Xu Shaozhang's back go away before she entered the yard.

After there was one less person in the yard, Shu Ling didn't know what to do for a moment.
With a rare moment of reluctance, she walked from the front yard to the backyard, then back to the front yard, and then walked to the door of the yard. After thinking about it, she decided to say good morning to her mother-in-law.

After Mrs. Lu woke up in the morning, she heard that Shu Ling had come to say good morning. She said to the maid in the room: "This child is too filial. I told her yesterday that she didn't need to come to say good morning."

Shu Ling entered the room, and Mrs. Lu asked her with concern: "Ling'er, can you have breakfast?"

"Mom, I had breakfast, and my uncle has already gone to school."

Mrs. Lu felt relieved and said to Shu Ling: "If you want to eat anything at home, just go to the kitchen and say hello."

Shu Ling smiled and nodded. She was really not a picky eater.

Mrs. Lu talked to Shu Ling about some things at home: "In a few days, I will take you to your uncle's house to sit down. People in your family always need to get to know each other more."

Shu Ling smiled and agreed, and by the time Xu Yu came, Lu was already telling Shu Ling about interesting things from Xu Shaozhang's childhood.

Shu Ling listened to Mr. Lu's words with interest and cheered from time to time: "Mom, he was so naughty when he was a child. Didn't my mother take a lot of trouble back then?"

"Yeah, no one would have thought that he could actually read, and his temperament is much calmer now."

Xu Yu's footsteps stopped in front of the screen. She listened carefully and realized that her mother was talking about Xu Shaozhang, so she strode into the room.

"Good morning, mother. Good morning, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Lu glanced at her: "You didn't come earlier than your sister-in-law."

Shu Ling smiled and said to Xu Yu: "I took your eldest brother out this morning and woke up a little early, so I came early.

Yu'er, we can make an appointment to pay our respects to mother tomorrow morning. "

"Okay. Sister-in-law, let's have breakfast with my mother. There are many people, so my mother can have a few more mouthfuls of delicious food."

Mrs. Lu listened to their sister-in-law's words, with a smile on her face.

People in the clan said they were worried that the girl from the Shu family was full of family spirit, but when Shu Ling came in, everyone could see her scholarly quality.

Mrs. Lu was becoming more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law, so she smiled and said to Shu Ling, "You and Yu'er come over and have breakfast with me tomorrow."

Shu Ling smiled and agreed: "Okay, mother, I will come with Yu'er tomorrow to pay my respects to mother."

Mrs. Lu looked at Shu Ling and said, "Yu'er doesn't like reading and writing. It would be better if you could help her read one or two more books."

Shu Ling could only laugh. For someone who doesn't like reading, it is really painful for you to force her to read.

Shu Ling smiled and said to Mrs. Lu, "Mom, I still have some embroidery work in the shop. These days, I just want Yu'er to do the embroidery work with me, okay?"

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Okay, just don't work too hard."

When Shu Ling saw that Ms. Lu did not object to her taking on the embroidery job, she immediately said to Ms. Lu: "Mom, when I go out of the city to do the embroidery job in the future, can I ask Yu'er to accompany me?"

Mrs. Lu looked deeply at Xu Yu. Seeing her avoidant eyes, Mrs. Lu said to Shu Ling: "Ling'er, as a sister-in-law, don't be too indulgent in the actions of your younger brothers and sisters."

Shu Ling listened to Lu's words and praised her very much: "Mother, they are all too kind. They probably won't give me the chance to indulge them in their willful behavior."

Mrs. Lu was in a happy mood and asked Shu Ling: "I remember Aunt Wang in your town said that you like to eat meat and vegetables at home?" Shu Ling listened to Mrs. Lu's words and said with a smile: "Mom, I love to eat meat and vegetables. "

Xu Yu was very happy and said to Shu Ling: "Sister-in-law, I also like to eat meat dishes. I especially cook the meat until it is tender. The taste is really wonderful."

She couldn't help but sip as she spoke. Mr. Lu looked at her with disgust and said to the maid: "Let the kitchen cook meat and vegetables at noon."

At this moment, she felt that Shu Ling probably couldn't control Xu Yu, but would be made naughty by Xu Yu.

She said to Shu Ling and Xu Yu with a serious look on her face: "It's still early, you two follow me and look at the accounts at home."

"Mom, you have to read the account books every day, so just let me and my sister-in-law go."

"Sooner or later, your sister-in-law will take over the family affairs, so she will naturally have to learn. When you get married in the future, you can't help but read the account books."

Shu Ling and Xu Yu looked at each other with bitter faces at the same time. Seeing Shu Ling's expression, Xu Yu said to Ms. Lu, "Mom, it is a perfect match for the eldest brother to marry his eldest sister-in-law."

Mrs. Lu was embarrassed to mention that Xu Yu had listened to other people's nonsense. She looked at Xu Yu and said, "In the future, you should learn how to behave with your sister-in-law."

Shu Ling quickly waved her hand: "Mom, I don't dare take this. When I was in my parents' home, my grandparents were worried that my temper was too casual."

Xu Yu suddenly felt like she had met a confidant, and hugged Shu Ling's arm directly: "If my grandmother were here, she would have said the same thing about me."

Mrs. Lu took out the old account books from previous years and showed them to Shu Ling and Xu Yu. After Xu Yu saw the date, she said with disgust: "Mother, we want to see this year's account books."

Mrs. Lu saw that Shu Ling was already flipping through the ledgers, and she said to Xu Yu, "You also need to take a look at the ledgers from your previous home."

The Xu family's account books were very clear and clear. Shu Ling was very impressed and said to Mrs. Lu: "Mother, the family's financial records are really well done."

After listening to Shu Ling's words, Mrs. Lu knew that she was someone who really knew how to read accounts.

She looked at Xu Yu, who had a confused look on her face, and asked Shu Ling, "Who in your family taught you how to read the account books?"

"I have a neighbor sister who is very capable. She led us to look at the account books and said that the accounts at home can be made clear and clear."

Shu Ling did not say that the account book Zhu Yun made was very simple, and anyone who could read could easily understand it.

But Zhu Yun told her and Liu Hao that they should never mention this matter to anyone until they took charge.

Mrs. Lu became curious, and Shu Ling told her about Zhu Yun and that Zhu Yun wanted to open a small school to teach girls how to read and write.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "Her idea is very good, but her husband's family may not support her in doing this."

It's not that things about Zhu Yunfu's family cannot be told to others.

Shu Ling whispered to Lu's mother and daughter about the situation at Zhu Yun's house, and both mother and daughter were very angry after hearing this.

Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "Your neighbor sister has met a good man. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to survive."

Xu Yu was very angry: "How come there is such a family? You don't want to take care of your daughter-in-law when she is sick?"

Mrs. Lu glanced at Xu Yu and felt that in a few years, the couple would still need to be more careful about Xu Yu's marriage.
