Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 101: A loving father and a filial son

In a flash, it was seven or eight days again, and seeing that it was already the end of April, Lai Shangrong, who had not been used by Xiu Mu, would not waste it.

I took the three little ones to exercise in the front yard and then returned to the back garden.

As soon as they entered Second Sister You's yard, they saw Third Sister You wearing a pink cheongsam with peony flowers and high slits. She twisted her slender waist and swayed past her eyes as if there was no one else around. Under the dripping peonies, slender white legs are looming.

Lai Shangrong was immediately excited at the sight, and quickly chased after him with saliva on his face.

"If you hang around in front of your brother-in-law like this, something will happen!"

Third Sister You glanced at him and said in horror: "Ah? What happened? Is my brother-in-law going to eat me?"

"Snapped!"

Lai Shangrong slapped her on the back and said with a pun, "I can let you eat my brother-in-law!"

Sanjie You covered her back with her hands, glared at him and said, "You're covered in rough meat, who wants to eat you!"

"Ha! When you put on this cheongsam, you forget about your brother-in-law!"

Then he smiled and said: "How did you know that there are benefits to this roughness? If you don't believe me, go back and ask your sister!"

Third Sister You said disdainfully: "As for your activities, you look at who doesn't know who you are!"

He said as if he knew everything.

Lai Shangrong has already figured out her character. She has no taboos in speaking and dressing, and she is lawless in her actions, but she always refuses to give in at critical moments.

After entering the main room, the two of them went their separate ways. Lai Shangrong turned to the bathroom, where Qingwen was already waiting.

The two little girls had a fight last time, so Lai Shangrong simply arranged a shift for them.

"Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's time to take out the cheongsam and wear it at night!"

Lai Shangrong said something lightly, which made Qingwen's pretty face turn red with embarrassment. She didn't answer and just poured water on him.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Lai Shangrong turned to the outside.

Yu Chuan took the two cooks at home to learn from Bai Lao Niang. Now, steamed sea urchin eggs in the morning have become a regular routine. With constant daily exercise and high protein supplements, Lai Shangrong suddenly felt so proud. He only felt that two... One and a half Li Wan should be able to handle it.

After breakfast and lunch, I thought that my visit to the Grand View Garden had never been possible, so I came to Rongfu alone.

He made a detour to the council hall first. After all, he didn't go to the backyard to oversee the work. He was afraid that the craftsmen might not pay attention to him, so he asked Jia Lian to go to the construction site of the other courtyard together.

On the way, I thought that Wang Xifeng had become suspicious a few days ago, and I couldn't help but worry about Jia Lian.

"That's right! Have you told the elder?"

"Not yet! I want to wait a little longer so that I can suffer miserably in front of the master."

"Tsk! It's a good idea, but you also need to be careful about nights and dreams!"

"What do you mean, brother, sooner rather than later?"

"In this way, when we get to the back garden, you can just find a leader to take me around. It's true that we go to the old man's place as soon as possible to finalize the matter."

When he arrived at the construction site of the other courtyard, Jia Lian called a craftsman in charge and asked him to accompany Lai Shangrong, while he walked to Jia She's courtyard.

Jia Lian came all the way and crossed the courtyard to the east.

After passing the news, I came to the main hall and saw Jia She and Mrs. Xing sitting above, and knelt down with a thud.

He burst into tears and said: "Master! Madam! You have to make the decision for me!" Jia She scolded with a gloomy face: "You worthless thing! Tell me! What's going on?"

"Last time, in order to add some money for the master, I moved some of the errands I was in charge of. I don't know who is the ear god, but actually complained to that Yasha star. After she went back, she got into a fight with me. She wanted me to take the money back, but when I refused, she drove me to the outer study room, where I have been living for several days now!"

Since Jia Lian had been living in the study outside for some time, Lai Shangrong gave him this idea.

First, he was afraid that Jia She would have heard about Jia Lian's stay in the study outside, which would lead to complications.

Secondly, it is to increase the pressure on Jia She and Mrs. Xing, so as to arouse their common enemies. After all, Jia She has already obtained the money, so he may not be willing to let Qiu Tong stand up for his son.

Sure enough, Jia She was angry and said, "You bastard, if you are even remotely like me, you won't tolerate a woman stepping on your head and running wild!"

That's what Jia Lian was waiting for. He knelt down in front of Jia She and said, "What I'm trying to teach you is that my son is determined to clean up the family style this time. He just needs some help from the master and his wife."

"Oh? You still have the courage?" Mrs. Xing didn't believe it.

"Master and Madam also know that I don't even have anyone in the house now, only a single person who is on the same side as her. It's not that my son never thought about reforming the family style in the past, but she blocked him and refused to let him enter the room. This As time went by, there was no where to go... She took advantage of my son's weakness."

"It was all your control from the beginning! If you had such ambition as soon as she came in, why would you end up in trouble today?"

"You also know that she has a lot of scheming, even the old lady was coaxed by her, and the son didn't react at that time. She didn't push her every step until all the girls in the room were kicked out by her. Now I just bought a girl from outside, and I'm afraid she will take advantage of my absence to get rid of her."

Speaking of the past, Mrs.

"It's unfair, madam! How can a son not want to fulfill his filial piety? It's just that a son doesn't even have an identity, and his ambition and energy are insufficient! This time, I finally had the opportunity to show my filial piety, but in the end, you two elders also saw it."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and looked at Jia She aggrievedly.

Jia She stroked his beard and hesitated: "How do you want me to make the decision for you? Do you still want to divorce your wife? The old lady will never agree to this..."

Jia Lian did not expect that Jia She misunderstood that he wanted to divorce his wife. Although Lai Shangrong had no guidance in this drama, he was also somewhat clever.

He nodded and said aggrievedly: "My son does want to divorce his wife, but since the master said that the old lady would not agree, it is better not to embarrass the master."

He paused and then said: "For the current plan, the only way I can check and balance her is that the master and the wife give me a girl as a concubine on the grounds that they have children."

Jia She patted the case and said, "Okay! Why do you still have such a mind!"

Then he said to Mrs.

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "My lord, you are so kind! That Yaksha star is very powerful. If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that if you are not good enough for two days, you will be punished by her!"

When Jia She thought that it was indeed the case, he hurriedly asked, "What do you think?"

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said: "Qiu Tong in the master's house has always been a hot-tempered person. If she can get over, she will not be easily manipulated by that Yaksha star!"

"Uh..." Jia She hesitated for a while and said nothing.

Mrs. Xing knew that he was a little reluctant to give up, but she didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly shouted: "As long as my son can calm down and take control of the family's financial power, he will definitely be doubly filial to the master!"

"Well! Seeing how rare your filial piety is, I will help you as a father! Ask your wife to help you choose a day later!"

"Hey!" Jia Lian was overjoyed and kowtowed hurriedly.
