I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 5 5, Jade

On the contrary, Lin Ruyu stood up neither humble nor overbearing, and solemnly bowed to Sun Zhangyang and his wife: "Thanks to my cousin and sister-in-law for taking in our mother and daughter. There is a house where we can stand, and the four seasons are simple and light. Ruyu is very grateful. Where can I go?" Yan Sheqiu is giving orders like a serious master? It’s just that Ruyu eats and drinks for nothing, but I feel sorry for it. If my sister-in-law doesn’t dislike it, Ruyu also learned needlework at a young age, so it’s okay to help her sister-in-law make clothes for her niece and daughter.”

Qing Dai, who was watching coldly from the side, saw Ruyu's words, and nodded secretly in her heart: Although this Lin Ruyu's name is similar to Lin Daiyu's, she still seems to know how to advance and retreat.Let's wait and see, I hope it's not a worry.

So Aunt Lin, mother and daughter lived in Sun's residence.Aunt Lin wanted to help housekeeper Li Haizhu relieve her worries, but she had been suffering in the Lin family for many years, and once she relaxed, she felt that all the illness and pain in her body would come out. thing.

On the contrary, Lin Ruyu was very careful, and within a few days after coming here, she made a set of clothes for each of the four members of the Sun family. The stitches were fine and the style was novel, which was very popular with the Sun couple.She usually doesn't say a word, doesn't take a step, only works in her own room, treats people kindly, and speaks softly. The servants also say that Miss Biao is the style of a lady.

One day, Li Haizhu suffered from the cold again and couldn't get up to be a director, so she had to ask Aunt Lin to take care of her. However, Aunt Lin was also a little bit unwell, so she asked Lin Ruyu to take care of her for a few days, but Lin Ruyu refused and took the right card. Son, Su Yan said: "I was originally a poor relative who came to seek refuge in the Sun's residence. If my cousin and sister-in-law didn't take care of me, I would be worse than all the sister-in-laws. I don't have the face to teach you anything. It's just that my mother and I ate at the Sun's residence. Wearing the clothes of the Sun Mansion, I have been favored by my cousin and sister-in-law, but I have to repay the great kindness. Now my sister-in-law is recovering from illness, but she entrusts this family to me. Brother and sister-in-law's deep kindness. It is necessary to thicken your skin and represent your sister-in-law for a few days. Ladies and sisters-in-law, please look after me for a few days in front of my cousin and sister-in-law. For example, everyone is happy that there are no troubles in the past few days. If anyone deceives me when I am young and tender, and messes up my errands, I will definitely offend one or two."

What she said was soft but hard, which made all the women nonchalant. They couldn't figure out the depth of this cousin for a while, and those who wanted to fish in troubled waters also temporarily stopped thinking, and wanted to see her behavior first before taking action.

Lin Ruyu was very diligent, she was in charge of the flower hall at Chenshi in the morning, and at Haishi in the evening, she would sit in a sedan chair and patrol the various doors.The maids who usually like to secretly drink and play cards after Ermen Luoyue don't dare to be as casual as they used to be.The atmosphere in the Sun Mansion was suddenly suppressed.

It was half a month after Li Haizhu fully recovered. As soon as Lin Ruyu heard that Li Haizhu was safe, she immediately sent the box containing the account books of the cards to the upper room.Despite Li Haizhu's persuasion, he insisted on resigning from the housekeeper, which made Li Haizhu very depressed, so he had to take over again.It's just that the servants and maids, who had been tense for half a month, breathed a long sigh of relief.

After Ruyu handed over the pair of cards to Li Haizhu, she went back to Aunt Lin's courtyard.As soon as she entered the room, she saw Aunt Lin sitting in the rose chair angrily.Although he was still wearing plain filial piety, it was no longer an ordinary white cloth shirt.The plain top-grade moiré satin jacket has a watery luster between movements.She was wearing a white fox fur coat, the whole body was snow white, without a single hair.The silver cloves on the ears were also replaced by a pair of suet jade earrings.It's just that his complexion is not very good-looking, with an angry look on his face.The little girl behind her tremblingly sent the food box to Aunt Lin, but Aunt Lin threw it to the ground and scolded: "Didn't I say that I don't eat other snacks except Baiguoxuan's flax cake? ! Why do you still send these rags here! Could it be that you cheap skins started to neglect our mother and daughter when you saw us leaving the house?!"

Lin Ruyu sighed, and waved her hand to let the timid little girl who was scolded tidy up the food boxes on the ground, put away the snacks, and close the door.Just sat down and poured a cup of tea and drank it: "Mom, what's the fuss? You don't know that Baiguoxuan's flax cakes only sell a hundred pieces a day. It's sold out, you only want to eat it in the afternoon, where can someone buy it? Although the dim sum just now is not flax cakes, it is also a high-quality dim sum from Baiguoxuan, and it costs one or two silver a catty. Let alone eating it in the past, we I haven't seen it a few times. But just a few days later, you have such an outburst. If you let your cousin and sister-in-law know that you are so picky, will you not be blamed? After all, we are dependent on others, and we should restrain ourselves in everything we can. "

Aunt Lin let out a few breaths of anger when she heard this, and then she calmed down: "It's not that you are ignorant! After finally taking care of the housework, why did you pay it back after only a few days? It only took a few days , what benefits can be gained!"

Lin Ruyu sighed: "Mother, you are the one who doesn't know anything. Are you stupid to be a cousin? All the servants in this house are the confidants of the cousin, and none of them are ours. Whenever I have a little thought The idea of ​​seizing power and greedy ink is revealed, I am afraid that both of us will be kicked out immediately! I am careful everywhere just to reassure my cousin! After treating my cousin and sister-in-law so slowly, I will gradually win her heart Wait, are you still worried that this Sun Mansion is not ours?"

Only then did Aunt Lin let out a long breath: "I just said how stupid you are, working hard for others for nothing! It turns out that you are the one who sees the truth!"

She thought about it, and became excited again: "It's just that the housekeeper won't get any big money. I just heard that your cousin sister-in-law can't give birth! This is not your heaven-sent opportunity!"

She lowered her voice: "If you become your cousin's concubine and give birth to a son in a year or so, then the entire Sun family will be ours!"

Lin Ruyu raised her eyebrows: "Mother! I am a dignified and innocent daughter, but you actually want me to be a child!"

She sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that the Sun family is richer than a prince, I wouldn't have put in all this effort. If I marry my cousin, I must marry the official matchmaker. If I want to do it, I will be the serious master of the Sun family!"

Aunt Lin opened her mouth wide: "Do you want your cousin to marry you as a wife?"

Lin Ruyu sneered: "Ping wife? Do you think he will agree to the way my cousin treats his sister-in-law? As long as Li Haizhu lives in this world, there will be no other women in my cousin's eyes!"

Aunt Lin said: "Then what should we do? Don't we have no hope? Then let your cousin tell you about a good marriage, and mother begged him to give you more dowry. landing."

Lin Ruyu was disdainful: "Cousin himself is just a juror, and the people he usually contacts are only businessmen. Where can he find a good marriage for me? Ask him? How much dowry can he give me?

Can it be more than yours back then?Besides, even if he sent me [-] silver, how is it compared to the assets of the entire Sun family?Are you willing to only get a drop in the bucket? "

Aunt Lin was confused: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Lin Ruyu lightly brushed the folds on her sleeves: "Small size is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband. My cousin is in my way, so I have to ask her to make way! Mother, don't you still have the medicine to deal with those aunts? Is it? After we have established a firm foothold in the Sun Mansion, we will slowly use it for her, anyway, she is always ill, and it is not uncommon for her to die of illness someday."

Aunt Lin took a deep breath and said hesitantly: "Oh! Although your cousin sister-in-law can't give birth, she is really a kind person. I can't bear to hurt her like this."

Lin Ruyu frowned impatiently: "You still love to be so sloppy! If you had made up your mind to sell all those aunts, would our family still be so poor?"

Aunt Lin said, "I want to sell all those bitches! But your father..."

Lin Ruyu sneered: "Mom, you're still so confused! What did dad rely on for so many years? Isn't it all your dowry! If you get hard, how dare he be so presumptuous?! It's a big deal when you get into trouble, and you take it with you." The dowry has returned to her mother’s house, what else can he eat and wear? You dare not marry him! Since he dare not marry you, why are you afraid? Those bitches shouldn’t be beaten and killed. It's a waste of money!"

Speaking of those concubines, Aunt Lin's eyes almost popped out with hatred: "That bitch! I only sold them for 8000 taels, which is too cheap! It's not worth the price of that Miaoxian alone! You Don’t ask a few more, pick a higher price.”

Lin Ruyu almost vomited blood: "Mother! That's dealing with a brothel! You let me, a boudoir daughter, go to a brothel to bargain! You even have to shop around?! Besides, if it wasn't for us to negotiate the price in a quarter of an hour, pay the money and leave, would you Do you think we can still leave because of a little bit of wind? The screwdriver is still waiting to strip us and extract a few taels of silver. If we hadn't run so fast, we wouldn't know that our mothers are still alive now. Is there a life or not!"

She waved her hand: "Don't talk about those despicable things, just talk about what's in front of you. You are soft-hearted and reluctant to kill your cousin, but do you know that you are really unfilial!"

Aunt Lin was stunned and blinked: "What does this have to do with my filial piety?"

Lin Ruyu sighed: "Mother, think about it, is my cousin sister-in-law unable to have children? She is unable to give birth, and my cousin does not want to take concubines, so is my cousin going to have no offspring? There are three major unfilial sons, no offspring. Isn’t it unfilial to the ancestors to be a descendant? Isn’t it also unfilial for you to look at the descendants of the Sun family?”

Aunt Lin slapped her thigh, her face beaming with excitement: "Yes! It's really reasonable! If I saw that the Sun family died, and then went underground, not to mention my parents, even my elder brother and sister-in-law would not Let me go! Just relying on this one, your sister-in-law must die! When she dies, you marry your cousin and give birth to a son, and we will be the great heroes of the Sun family! Yes! That’s it! This is really perfect! Good thing!"
