Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 197
Xia Xiuhe stomped his feet angrily after hearing Lin's narration: "Idiot! Idiot! They are all idiots! Don't say it's the big brother, even if this kind of thing is put on me, I will drive them out too! Old lady The older she gets, the more confused she becomes. From Huzhou to the capital, I taught her so much, but she is still such a fire stick! Oh my God, is that really my mother? The Tong family is the lackey of the Huang family in Huzhou, and the sister-in-law The mother and daughter have offended her greatly, she shouldn't have come to the capital in the first place! It's best not to let sister Yiqing see her for the rest of her life, it will only increase the resentment of the mother and daughter and drag us down! I asked my father to write to the two in the letter As I said before, Second Brother wants her to come! Just wait and see, when Yiqing comes back to her mother's house tomorrow, when she sees Tong Shi, she will be even more angry than Leqing!"

Thinking of a large group of people disembarking from the boat outside the city and coming to Xiafu in a carriage, when Yue Qing saw Tong Shi in the front hall, her eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, Lin Shi couldn't help sighing: No wonder Yi Qing He Yueqing, at the beginning Xia Jin and Tong's were really too much, they helped her suppress Pang's family after getting some benefits from Huang's. I want to marry Yiqing to another county!If the Pang family didn't have the back road of his mother's family in the capital and fled Huzhou with his daughter, he would be in a miserable situation now!Is Mrs. Huang a good person?She was all ready, Lin saw with her own eyes that Tong helped Huang sew a fake belly and pretended to be a pregnant woman. She wanted Pang to be locked up in the backyard so that Huang could raise Xia Yiming with peace of mind!That vicious heart makes me afraid when I think about it!In order to help Huang's mother and daughter seize the ancestral house, Tong ordered the servants to throw out the cages of the mother and daughter, and pressed them step by step, as ruthless as enemies. Lin himself, thinking about it from the position of Sister Yiqing, I'm afraid it would be unbearable!

Mrs. Lin said: "But now that you are here, what can you do? It's not like you don't know that my mother doesn't even allow my second brother to touch the two farms and several shops in my hometown, and I leave them to the two uncles to take care of them. There is only a full meal, and the silver is invisible. In such a situation, who would like to stay at home? Because Tong's [-]-acre dowry field refused to be handed over to his uncle, he sold it for silver when he came. We put a lot of good clothes and precious jewellery, and the neighbors came to send us to the official ship, saying that we are going to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, and everyone is jealous, if we want to go back now, we will be ashamed!"

Xia Xiuhe asked with a sullen face: "Brother just said the separation? What else did he say?"

"The elder brother said that even if the family is separated, he still manages the food and clothing of each family, and divides his salary into three parts, one for his wife and children, one for his parents, and one for our third and second families. Perhaps, we Give some points to the two aunts, and the two of them will live in the capital forever!"

Xia Xiuhe said in a muffled voice: "Father only sent Brother Jun and Brother Min to study in Beijing, and you just came after you. Suddenly pulling all these people together, it's like eating rich people!"

Lin's eyes drooped: "I'm the youngest daughter-in-law of the Xia family. With a pair of young daughters, what can I do? The second elder brother received a letter from father and hasn't finished reading it yet. Then Tong's temperament is the same as our mother's." Yes, I ran out immediately and announced loudly in front of the neighbors that my eldest brother is rich in the capital, and he wants to take the official boat to pick up our family and go to Beijing to enjoy the blessings! You also know our place, news spreads quickly, and the city will be in town within two or three days. It spread all over the city and outside the city! The four sisters married to the Zhu family and gave birth to daughters. They were looked down upon by their father-in-law and mother-in-law. The Zhu family has many uncles and brothers. Last summer was dry and the autumn rice was not harvested. The brothers in the family quarreled over their livelihoods. After making a fuss, her whole family packed their bags and wanted to go with us; although the fifth younger sister married a rich businessman, the fifth son-in-law was a concubine, and when the family was separated, they only got three or four shops, all of which were converted into silver. Do some other business; two cousins, you also know that the matter of Cousin Fu made the Jin family feel embarrassed. Mother brought Cousin Fu to Beijing in father’s letter, presumably to relieve the Jin family of a trouble, but it happened that the cousin also Come along, the official ship is so big, can't we just push her down? It's just that all the girls in our Xia family want to follow, but the second brother refuses!"

Xia Xiuhe first scolded Tong's stupid woman a few times, then sighed repeatedly with his hands on his forehead, and hummed, he said, "I know Eldest Brother, if there were only the three of us, he wouldn't have split up. It’s just right for three-bedroom people to live in the official house! But the fourth younger sister and fifth younger sister also brought their families with them, and there are two cousins... The elder brother will not be able to become a high-ranking official and make a fortune immediately, he has his own A wife and children need to be raised, Yiming is still young, and Leer is 13 years old. She will be married in two years, and now she has to save a dowry—a woman in the capital will be looked down upon if her dowry is too small! There are three mothers and daughters to support, and marrying a concubine is not a small amount! Adding two more cousins ​​for him to dismiss, no wonder the eldest brother is not afraid! It seems that this family is really going to be divided!"

Mrs. Lin said softly: "If we want to separate, it will be difficult for our third wife! The second sister-in-law sold her field and still has some money to keep close to her. The fourth and fifth sisters may not have no foundation, but we really have nothing! "

Xia Xiuhe took a peek at Mrs. Lin, saw that she was just worried, and didn't blame him for squandering her dowry, so he patted the back of her hand and said, "Mistress, don't worry, there is a husband here, Guaranteed that you and the children can live a happy life! Don’t envy them, what is the little money they bring? It’s not enough for a month or two in the capital! Wait, in the future, I will ask my niece and son-in-law to do an errand for my husband , money or something, you can have it all, no problem!"

After speaking, she stood up and walked outside, Lin hurriedly called to him: "Where is husband going? Don't you want to sleep?"

Xia Xiuhe stopped, looked back at her and said, "I have to go to my father and mother, I have something to say to my father, and then go around to my elder brother and sister-in-law. If my elder brother is not asleep, I will also talk to him. In a word - if you want to share, let him share it! This is the bad luck caused by the second room, we have to avoid the third room, we can't follow their bad luck and suffer!"

"But it's late at night, and they're probably asleep."

"Just wake up, my parents, it's okay! Big brother has the habit of reading at night, he may still be in the study! You are tired of taking care of the baby during the day, don't wait for me, let's rest! Get up early tomorrow, and the baby will be handed over to Xing Huabao, just stay with your sister-in-law, be smart, and speak more kind words! Yiming now has three nurses, one from his grandfather, one from his aunt Zhao, and one from his elder brother. And I don't hate you, Xiqing and Yiming are only two or three months apart, when the time comes, a nanny will give Xiqing, and you won't have to work so hard to breastfeed yourself..."

While Xia Xiuhe was talking, he had already walked out of the room. Lin Shi stood under the lamp and watched him leave. Although she still couldn't keep her husband, she felt a little relieved in her heart.

Xia Xiuhe first went to the Xiyuan where his eldest brother and sister-in-law lived. Before calling the door, he boarded a slightly higher pavilion and looked into the garden, but saw that the lights in the upper and side rooms of the main courtyard had been extinguished, and he couldn't help muttering: Big brother didn't go to bed so early, I'm afraid I was really angry tonight, and I didn't bother to read the book, so I went straight to sleep!
I had no choice but to go to Yiyuan, where my parents lived, but the door was not closed, but only half-hidden. Xia Xiuhe pushed the door in and looked around, but there was no one there, thinking that the gatekeeper Mrs. Zhang must have gone to drink secretly again, and didn't bother to pay attention to it. It's just where the old man lives, besides, people sent by Master Hou will patrol the garden at night, not afraid of thieves!
