The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2215

[Chapter 2215 Tie Kui Fanwai (139)]

When I got to the upper room, seeing the quiet atmosphere around me was very solemn, Ru Hui knew that she was afraid of what happened just now.

Because she was lazy, and the Meng family had nothing to worry about, Ruhui didn’t let the maids around her deliberately contact the people around the old lady. So she couldn’t know what happened in the house at the first time, and sometimes it was necessary for Chen Shi to tell her.

Entering the room, Ruhui respectfully greeted the two of them, Mrs. Meng, who were sitting on the couch.

Mr. Meng said straight to the point: “The house is in a mess now, you should know this, right?” To a junior, there is no need to beat around the bush.

Ruhui nodded lightly.

Grandpa Meng said, “There can be no one in charge of the family, but your grandmother is old, so she can’t let her take care of you all the time!”

Ruhui is not stupid, and asked directly: “Grandfather wants me to take over the general affairs of the house?”

Grandpa Meng nodded.

Ruhui didn’t refuse, but said tactfully: “The reason why the seven brothers and sisters are making trouble is because the public has no money. Grandfather, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.” Even if he retired, the old man was still the head of the family. But let her pay for the private house to subsidize the public school, that is not a thought.

Grandpa Meng said: “I have already transferred 10,000 taels of silver to the account. This money should be enough for the house’s expenses for three months.” He did not say where the money came from.

Hearing that there is money in the account and that she only needs to be the housekeeper for three months, Ruhui replied: “Grandfather, there are a lot of things coming up this year. I don’t know if I can let the fifth siblings take care of the household affairs with me.” The housekeeper was very tired. , there are still so many beads, big and small, in Meng Mansion. The more people are right and wrong, the more tired.

Grandpa Meng didn’t lift his eyelids: “You can do these things yourself!”

After the old lady waited for Ruhui to leave, she asked, “Why do you say let her take care of the house for three months? Since the old people don’t want to take care of the household affairs, they can just leave it to Ranxi’s daughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Meng looked at the old lady and said, “Among all the granddaughter-in-laws, the most shrewd one is Ranxi’s daughter-in-law. Do you think she would be willing to keep her in charge of the general affairs of the house?” I knew it was impossible. If he dared to force her, with Ning’s temperament, he would probably take the child to live with her parents.

The Ning family is in full swing, while the Meng family is already on the decline. Ning shi really brought the child back, and at that time, Ranxi would have to apologize before he could bring the child back.

The old lady said, “What about three months later?”

The old man said: “Three months later, let them manage their own homes.”

The old lady’s heart skipped a beat and asked, “Are you going to split up the family?”

Seeing that the old man ordered the old lady, she immediately said: “No, the family cannot be separated. Once the family is separated, the family will be separated.”

If it is possible, the old man does not want to split up. It’s just that at this point, the only way to separate the family is: “The eldest and the eldest want to separate the family. If they don’t go with their minds, they don’t know what will happen. The tree has a big branch, and if they want to divide, then Come on!” He retired and wanted to enjoy his old age, but he wasn’t bothered by these trivial things all day. So, splitting up is the best option.

Speaking of which, the old lady also knew that the separation of the family was imperative. However, she was so sad that she shed tears: “If the family is separated, it will be difficult for the family to get together for a meal in the future.”

Hearing the words, the old man said, “This is easy to handle. They are not allowed to move out after the family is separated. We must wait for us to die before we can move out.” So the old man bought a five-storied mansion. Therefore, even if the Meng family has a large population, they can still live there today.

The old lady hesitated: “I’m afraid they won’t be happy.”

“Whoever dares to disagree, I won’t give him a penny.” Even if he doesn’t agree to such a request, he doesn’t want such an unfilial descendant.

The old lady nodded.

Chen Shi heard that the old man had transferred 10,000 taels of silver to the account, and said, “It seems that the private house of the old man and the old lady is still very thick.”

Ruhui smiled and said: “Who is the old man? Does he know what the uncle and aunt did?” Even if he didn’t know everything, he knew most of it.

Knowing the nature of Mr. Meng’s husband and wife, the old man naturally has to pay attention. Otherwise, how can you enjoy your old age?

Ruhui let Mrs. Chen take care of the sewing room and the tea room, and she took care of the rest.

Unlike Fourth Grandma Meng’s housekeeper, who followed the old practice, Ruhui re-established the rules as soon as she came up. That is to reconcile accounts once every ten days, unlike the previous reconciliation once a month.

Ten days later, Ruhui called Mama Cui, who was in charge of shopping in the kitchen, over. After that, everyone in the house knew that Ru Huige had taken Mama Cui’s errand, and then replaced it with her own room to be responsible for all the kitchen affairs.

When Mrs. Chen found out, she said worriedly, “Sister-in-law three, how come Mama Cui is also the confidant of the aunt. If you change people like this, the aunt will be very angry?”

“Angry? If you don’t say five cents for an egg, if you buy it, it’s 20 catties. But our family of five has never even seen an egg shell. If I don’t change her, the ten thousand taels of silver may not survive the twelfth lunar month. “Usually two eggs are a penny, but in winter the price of eggs is more expensive than usual. But no matter how expensive it is, it is not as terrifying as tenfold.

She is not a young lady who does not touch the sun with her fingers. On the contrary, she is very knowledgeable about prices.

If Hui was also a housekeeper when he was in the Marquis of Anyang, he knew that when the water was clear, there would be no fish. But the stewards in charge of purchasing in the Houfu of Anyang also did so, but they would negotiate with the sellers for the purchases and then repay at the market price. The difference in the middle went into their pockets. In this regard, Ruhui also turned a blind eye. But this mother Cui has too much appetite.

Chen said, “That’s what I said, I’m afraid that the aunt won’t let it go.”

With a snort, Ruhui said, “I didn’t care about her before, because I thought she was our elder. But if she dares to trouble me, I’m not afraid of her.” After hiding it, she no longer had any respect for Madam Meng.

Mai Sui raised his voice outside and said, “Grandma, the fourth grandma is here.” After Ziru Hui took charge of the house, Mai Sui also rose. However, as Ruhui’s confidant, she also knew that the Meng family would be separated soon. Therefore, her attitude towards everyone is still the same. In this way, it is more respected.

Grandma Meng Si saw the two of them when she came in. She probably joked: “When I was the housekeeper, I was exhausted all day. But I didn’t expect that the third sister-in-law and my younger siblings were so leisurely.” .

Ruhui smiled and said, “Fourth younger brother and sister are so busy, why do you have time to come to me?”

Fourth grandma Meng smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t hide it from the third sister-in-law. It’s my mother-in-law who wants to see you, so let me invite you.”

I also know that it must be because of Mama Cui. In fact, she didn’t like Mama Cui either, but she was one of Madam Meng’s confidants. No matter how annoying it is, I dare not show it. Seeing that Ruhui had dismissed her errand, Fourth Grandma Meng was still very happy.

Ruhui smiled, because she wanted to ask the guilt for Cui’s mother. However, she is not afraid.

When they got to the door, Grandma Meng Si didn’t go in, but stood at the door and waited. It didn’t take long for her to hear Ru Hui calling out to the doctor, and hurried in.

Seeing Mrs. Meng lying unconscious on the bed, Fourth Grandma Meng was anxious: “Sister-in-law Four, what’s wrong with my mother-in-law?”

“Auntie Cui fainted when she heard that Mama Cui stole several thousand taels of money from the public.” After speaking, Ruhui said angrily, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have told my aunt about this. ”

Grandma Meng Si asked with a horrified expression, “You said that Mama Cui has embezzled several thousand taels of silver?” Her dowry was only over four thousand taels of silver.

Ruhui said with a sigh: “Mother Cui quoted double or even several times the price of the things she bought. After more than ten years, it is estimated that there are several thousand taels of silver.”

After a pause, Ruhui said again: “As far as I know, her youngest son not only has a house, but also a small shop and 60 acres of land.” Slaves cannot have private property. But Mama Cui’s youngest son received grace at the age of six and was released from slavery. Not only is the identity of a good citizen, but also can have their own property.

Grandma Meng Si gritted her teeth and said, “This son of a bitch needs a thousand cuts.” She knew that Mama Cui had benefited from the purchase, but she didn’t expect to be greedy for so much.

Ruhui smiled and said, “She is the aunt’s escort in the end, and it is up to the aunt to decide what to do with her.” She only needs to let the people in Meng’s house know that Mama Cui has greedy for a lot of money. As for greed for money and what to do with Mama Cui, she doesn’t want to care.

Before the doctor came, Mrs. Meng woke up faintly. As soon as she saw Ruhui, Mrs. Meng said, “Why are you still here?”

“Since Auntie doesn’t want to see me, then I’ll go back first.” After speaking, Ruhui walked away.

In the evening, Mai Sui and Ruhui said, “Third grandmother, the eldest lady sent someone to raid Cui’s mother’s house. It is said that more than three hundred taels of silver were copied.”

“How did the aunt deal with Mrs. Cui?”

Mai Sui shook his head and said, “Mr. Cui’s family has been sold, and they are sold separately.” In addition to the youngest son, Mrs. Cui’s husband, son and daughter are all working in Meng Mansion. With this sale, the family will no longer be able to reunite.

Ruhui smiled.

As soon as Mama Cui’s incident happened, the other stewards in the house instantly turned into quails, too honest. None of the servants in the mansion dared to cheat again. The atmosphere of Meng Mansion is much better.

That day, Meng Ranxi and Ruhui said: “Today, my grandmother told me that I hope you can always manage the housekeeping affairs, but I refused. I told my grandmother that when the eldest aunt recovers, you will return the stewardship. Give it back to the eldest aunt.” Not to mention that the housekeeper was tired, and he had to complain from the big room, why bother.

Ruhui smiled and said, “Even if the aunt recovers from her illness, her grandfather will not let her be the housekeeper before the separation of the family. But it’s fine, it’s only been two months since she was affected.”

“Hui’er, looking at my grandmother, I’m afraid that it means splitting up the family, and we can’t move out.” In fact, Meng Ranxi also wanted to move out and start her own business, but that was the only way. But if the old man and the old lady do not agree with them to move out, he can only compromise. He has two old people who rely on him today.

Ruhui smiled and said, “Let’s talk about these things after we split up!”
