The lady is busy farming

Chapter 732 Slapped in the Face by Reality
Nangong Yuan'er shook her head, "Since my aunt never thought of surpassing her mother, even if she is a flat wife, she is still inferior to her mother. I told you a long time ago that my father only has you two. If you really have to count seriously, flat wife That is to say, it sounds better on the lips, but in the end it is still a concubine's room. I don't know what is the point of my aunt's holding on to these things?"

"...How can we be the same? As long as we are equal wives, Xiangheju and I can be equals. Although I may not participate in everything, I still have to let others know of my existence, right?" Li Xianger was startled for a moment, and immediately refuted.Otherwise, living this life is too aggrieved. I have sons and daughters, but I am nothing.

"Since you don't participate, why do you have to go into these muddy waters? You are actually trying to dissuade your mother by doing this, but you have not gained any benefits. Take a step back and say, if your mother really agrees with you as an ordinary wife, she will ask for your advice in everything." Opinion. This is indeed a matter of face, but have you ever thought that if something really happened, would Auntie be able to come up with a useful note? If the money in the mansion cannot be turned over temporarily and you need to share it equally, Mother can use her own dowry, so what does auntie use? You have already given the body of these years to the Li family, now besides what you have on you, what else do you have?"

"Isn't there money in the mansion? How can I pay for it myself?" Li Xiang'er blushed, and said falteringly. Kind of an excuse to go.But then again, how could there be no money in the mansion?

"It seems that my aunt is the same as I used to think. As far as I know, our mansion does not have too much money. I just heard that my father used to fight for years and took in many wounded veterans because he had no ability to work. , it’s because my father regularly sends some money to subsidize. Our family doesn’t open a bank account, how much money can we have? Father’s salary is not even enough for a month’s government expenses, or mother buys it outside with the money on hand. Not only did they arrange the wounded, some of them were able to do some simple work, barely maintaining their livelihood. Even so, the mother sometimes subsidized the harvest from the rest of the village. This is why my father respected her. A very important reason."

As Nangong Yuan'er was talking, she saw her aunt's expression change, but in order to prevent her from daydreaming, Nangong Yuan'er decided to wake her up once and for all, "In addition to the expenses of the mansion, although Nangong There are all shops and Zhuangzi. But there are times when it can’t be slowed down. I heard that the mother used her own dowry to support it. Because she is the mistress, she should make these contributions, and I have never heard any complaints. Each of us How many copies should I receive every month, and I have never seen anything missing. But sometimes the money we take ourselves is the mother’s dowry. Recently, when the mother gave these orders, she did not recite us three sisters, as if on purpose They are teaching us how to take care of housework. I have seen this kind of thing many times, and the nanny next to my mother gave it to the housekeeper with silver notes."

"..." Li Xianger was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe it other than shock.In her impression, she always thought that Nangong Mansion was very beautiful and had everything she wanted. Hearing what Yuan'er said, why does it look like there are holes everywhere?
"Don't be surprised, Auntie. I've checked this matter. It's all true. My father is lavish and never cares about money. A large part of it is my mother. I can relieve some of the pressure and share it with you, can Auntie give it?"

"I...I..." She didn't have anything in her hand, what did she take? "Didn't Yuan'er say that even if she is a flat wife, it's just a good reputation, and it's not substantive. It's fine if I don't participate in family affairs?"

"······" Nangong Yuan'er was speechless, when did Auntie become a bit of a rascal? "Even if it's just a matter of reputation, there is an old saying, what position you stand, what responsibility you take. Since you have the heart to be a flat wife, you should be prepared to bear the consequences of this matter. Since the mother Can you admit it, Auntie thought she would forget such an important thing?"

"This?" Li Xiang'er's face turned red and white, not to mention sharing it equally, except for the monthly allowance, she can't even get 300 taels of silver around her now.After deducting expenses and rewards every month, she has nothing left on hand.

"Second brother is about to make an engagement, besides what should be prepared by the manor, can my aunt add some dowry gifts for second brother, and prepare any meeting gifts for my future sister-in-law? After all, you are second brother's biological mother." Nangong Yuaner Seeing that my aunt hesitated, she picked up the cup and took a sip of water to moisten her throat. "Isn't my aunt dreaming of marrying my second brother a daughter-in-law back? This is a good idea. Since the other party is a daughter-in-law, in order to show your sincerity, shouldn't you give your second brother a face and add something?"

"Auntie, Auntie doesn't... You also know that the Li family often asks for things for Auntie, and Auntie can't do anything about it. How can I get it out of how much money I have around me?" When she asked back, her expression was a little unnatural, she had already given everything she could to the Li family last time.There is nothing around me.

"Auntie is really generous. You can give Li Junhao a dowry when you get married, but your own son can't afford it. It seems that the Li family is still important in Auntie's heart. If the future sister-in-law finds out about this, although she won't say anything, but What do you think she will do to you? Your daughter-in-law is not as important as your natal nephew, what will happen? Or do you think your natal nephew will support your aunt in the future?"

"Why would I let my nephew take care of me? I have a son..." Being provoked by her daughter, Li Xianger opened her mouth without even thinking about it. She got stuck in her throat halfway through her words, and then her face turned pale. She can still free herself. Now that her daughter has exposed her face in front of her, she can't hold back her face.Seeing the faint sarcasm in her daughter's eyes, Li Xianger felt even more embarrassed.

"Third Miss, did you see my joke? You are right. I have nothing now. Except for this outfit, the jewelry box is empty. Are you satisfied now? You don't like me, why don't you?" At that time, your new sister-in-law also looked down on me. I have lived for so many years, and I can’t tell who is close to who. Is it a joke? Haha..."

As Li Xiang'er said, she lay on the soft bed and began to cry, what was she doing for, why was it so hard for her to live?
