Chapter 665 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ease (2)
The second wife couldn't help the red eyes when she heard such words, and her expression became softer, and she choked back and said: "My son is not easy, it's all because of my incompetence as a mother. It's just that I didn't let my brother enter the shop at the beginning. Why not, why don't you give him some money every now and then, so as not to hurt my son!"

Seeing this, Ruoying felt a little comforted, Yihao wanted to use this incident to make her and her mother-in-law have a good relationship, but she couldn't bear to see their mother and son separated.She knew that with emotion and reason, she finally resolved the second wife's resentment towards Yihao.

Seeing the second wife crying miserably, she quickly tried to persuade her, "It's just right that the third master is not in the capital right now. My wife will come forward to settle the matter, and it won't hurt the third master. The wife will come forward and talk to the shopkeeper's widow in person. We would rather pay money, she My son can also help if he wants to enter an official career. When she goes to the government to withdraw the case, let's go and clear it up, and it is estimated that the uncle's death penalty will be gone."

"May I come to talk?" The second wife is actually a master who can't make a big scene, and she can't speak. She is a little scared when she thinks of going to the home of the person who just died.

She grabbed Ruoying's hand harder and let Ruoying go with her.Ruoying nodded and agreed when she heard the words, this trip was to chat with others, and the second wife probably couldn't let go of her figure.

"As the saying goes, this daughter is my mother's caring little padded jacket, but she will always get married when she grows up, and she is not as good as her own daughter-in-law. Take this incident as an example, that girl Meixia just came back to ask, and she didn't Instead, he advised me to listen to my brother and not interfere. Tell me, can I still count on her if I have something to do in the future?" The second wife complained to Ruoying, and it was the first time in her life that she told her speak ill of a daughter.

It seems that the second wife really regards Ruoying as a caring person, and there is more emotion in their relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the afternoon, the second wife made a carriage with Ruoying and went to the accountant's house.The accountant's surname is Li, and there is a wife and two children in his family.The eldest is a son, [-] years old, married and gave birth to a child.The second child is a girl, only about seven or eight years old, she shrinks into Li Shi's arms with a timid appearance.

When the eldest son saw the female guest, he hid inside to avoid it. Mrs. Li was an honest person, and he seemed a little cautious when he met the second wife and Ruoying.The second wife simply said a few words of condolences, and then swept Ruoying with her eyes.

Ruoying understood what she meant, so she spoke up, and after expressing her meaning tactfully, she took out a stack of bank notes with large denominations.

Mrs. Li had never seen any big scenes, and she felt a little blunt when she saw so many banknotes.

"Aunt Li doesn't need to refuse. Uncle Li has worked hard in the shop for many years. This is a little thought from our host."

"But the third young master personally sent a lot of money, and even the funeral was sent by the third young master. There are too many silver bills, and the concubine can't accept them." Li shook her head and refused.

Ruoying saw it and said: "The third master's heart is the third master's, this is the wife's heart. Uncle Li left suddenly, it is too pitiful to leave a house of orphans and widows behind you. If the backbone of the family collapses, it is tantamount to collapse." The wife has heard that the eldest son has some talents, and she is planning to recommend it to Taichang Temple. If the eldest son is promising, Aunt Li will also have hope, right?"

Mrs. Li was even more stunned when she heard the words, and heard a slight cough from the back room, and Ruoying caught a glimpse of the eldest daughter-in-law quietly tugging at Mrs. Li's clothes.

Without waiting for Mrs. Li to speak, she went on to say: "The deceased is gone, and he will continue to live. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can come to the Hou Mansion to find your wife. Our wife is the most kind-hearted, even kittens and puppies. I can't bear to hurt people. Those who harm others are arrested, and whoever kills them will have to pay for their lives. Aunt Li doesn't want to implicate the innocent, does she?"

Mrs. Li glanced at the second wife who hadn't spoken much since entering the room, then looked at the eldest daughter-in-law next to her, hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.Seeing that the second wife was not easy to get along with, she thought of the power of the Hou Mansion, she would be a fool if she didn't let go after getting money and benefits.

The daughter-in-law was very kind, and she interjected: "My wife and grandma have treated our family affairs with great kindness. We are not bastards who don't know the depths of the truth. Since ancient times, people have killed people to pay their lives and owed debts. My father-in-law started a fight with my uncle in the shop. When there was a dispute, my uncle wanted to find someone to teach my father-in-law a little bit. Who would have thought that those gangsters would have evil intentions and actually do something wrong... Alas, poor father-in-law... But this is fate, we dare not take the blame It's all on the uncle's head. Let's go to the government to explain the situation, and those gangsters must be guillotined!"

"There will be news about the eldest son soon, you just wait at home." Ruoying promised.

The eldest daughter-in-law immediately beamed with joy, and Ruoying felt a little annoyed when she saw it.Seeing that everything was done, the second wife took her out of Li's house.

"Madam, where are we going?" Ruoying asked wonderingly seeing that the direction was wrong.

The second wife's face was a bit ugly, "Going back to my mother's house, I have spent all the money in my hand, and then I will go to the government to ask for favors, and I have to find an errand for the Li family boy. How can I do it without money?"

Ruoying heard the words and followed obediently. When they arrived at Liu's residence, the second wife's sister-in-law greeted her at the gate in person.

She caught a glimpse of the ugly face of her sister-in-law, and she was too scared to say anything.For so many years, she has been relying on the second wife to live a comfortable life. As the saying goes, the second wife is the only one she can count on since her husband has committed a capital crime and is locked up in a prison.

The aunt and sister-in-law went inside, and the second wife sat at the top, seeing Ruoying standing behind him, and asked her to sit down too.

"Get me 5 taels of silver right away!" The second wife didn't want to talk nonsense with her sister-in-law, and went straight to the point.

Her sister-in-law was embarrassed when she heard this, "Auntie, you know the situation at home these years..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The second wife slapped the table angrily without waiting for her to cry, "Don't think that I don't know your situation, every time I come to my place to enjoy the autumn wind, I just take it without saying a word. You have no rice to cook." Is it just to compare with other rich and noble families! Look at my overall style, not much worse than me, and I still have the face to cry poor. I just came from Accountant Li's house, and he promised not to pursue it. Do you know how much I spent? Silver? 1 taels, a full 1 taels! All these years, I have subsidized you with my dowry, but the 1 taels are still paid for by my daughter-in-law. Next, I have to go to the government to get favors, and I have to find an errand for the Li family boy. Why don’t you need money? You just hold on to the little money and don’t let go. I’m ugly. No one can save my brother at that time. Don’t cry to death! The third person is not in the capital, if he knows that I Help me, you will definitely be angry with me. You don’t even think about what your brother has done to damage your nephew’s reputation, and you dare to expect your nephew to help? Do you want money or someone? Tell me a good word!”

Over the years, her sister-in-law has saved a lot of private money, but how can she, who is stingy and loves to take advantage, be willing to bleed?But if the money is not paid out, the husband will lose his head. Without the husband, can the second wife still help as before?
