Hope for luck

Chapter 409
In the capital city in early summer, it was already quite hot, but in Shen's house in Xintong Lane, it seemed to be in dire straits.

I saw a young woman who was ordering someone to beat several maidservants who had made mistakes, and there were tragic cries from the yard.

Especially in the scorching sun, the servant girls who were beaten all over their bodies couldn't hold on any longer, and they all looked like they were about to fall down.

"Beat, hit me hard, there is no rules at all, young mistress, I won't let you have a longer memory, you don't know what rules are."

This young woman is Tian Mixiang, a young lady from the Tian family that Shen Jieli has just married. Although she has a good boudoir name, her appearance is hard to describe.

I saw a very uneven face, dotted with many pockmarks, and there was a huge mole around the mouth.

A pair of narrow eyes, thick lips, flat nose, thick nose, eyebrows are the only ones that are delicate, but they are also thicker than ordinary women's eyebrows.

If you don't know, at a glance, you may think it looks like a man, but Tian Mixiang is indeed a woman.

At this moment, wearing a flowered cloth scarf on her head, she was pointing with disdain at a few maidservants who committed crimes in the courtyard, scolding them, just like the old women in the market, mean and bitter.

Just at this moment, Shen Jinhua came back from the outside. She had just received a letter from Gao Pan from Dongshan. The contents of the letter filled Shen Jinhua with cheerfulness and expectation.

But before she was happy, someone came to send a message, and Shen Jinhua's face changed slightly, so she had to put away the letter and hurried back to Shen's house.

Seeing that the maids in the courtyard were dying, and Tian Mixiang still didn't stop people from whipping them, Shen Jinhua hurried over to dissuade them:
"stop!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into the house again, looked at Tian Mixiang and said:
"Sister-in-law, if you beat them and scold them, let them be punished. Let them be spared. If the beatings continue, they will probably die."

When Tian Mixiang saw Shen Jinhua coming in, she made accusations and was very dissatisfied in her heart. What's more, after seeing Shen Jinhua's exquisite appearance, she became mad with jealousy.

Compared with Shen Jinhua, she is like cow dung next to flowers, what's more, she thinks that she is not much worse than Shen Jinhua, and the resentment in her heart accumulates more and more.

"Yo, where did my sister come from? My sister-in-law is just teaching a few disobedient servant girls, my sister doesn't need to take care of everything, right?"

Just listen to Tian Mixiang's indifferent words.

After hearing this, Shen Jinhua's heart trembled slightly. After gritting her silver teeth, she calmly replied:
"Sister-in-law, it's not that the younger sister is nosy. Since sister-in-law married into our family, which of these servants has not been scolded by you?"

"Our Shen family's rules are indeed looser, but sister-in-law doesn't need it. Just beat them every day or two? Look at these few, they are almost dying. Sister-in-law and younger sister don't know how big a crime they have committed. , caused you to hate them so much, wish you could beat them to death?"

These words made Tian Mixiang furious instantly:
"What do you mean by that? I'll teach the maids in my house, and I can teach them as I want. It's not some bullshit rule established by your Shen family. After I, Miss Tian's family, came in, I couldn't get used to it..."

"My sister is blaming me now. It seems that I can't stay in this family anymore. Come and pack up the burden. Let's go home. It just so happens that I have had enough!"

After all, she made a gesture to go back to her natal family. Seeing this, Shen Jinhua was very upset. She didn't expect that the rumored lady of the Tian family was so ugly. .

"Son, good boy, what are you doing? Stop doing this, mother, please, Hua'er is just like this, I'll ask her to apologize to you, don't go back to your mother's house!"

At this moment, Mrs. Shen who heard the news hurriedly pulled Tian Mixiang to persuade her.

Seeing this, Tian Mixiang broke free from Mrs. Shen's pull, put her hands on her chest, and said angrily:

"Mother-in-law, it's not the daughter-in-law who is causing trouble. It's actually your daughter who says that the daughter-in-law is bad and that is bad. The daughter-in-law also feels troubled. Why don't we just go back to our own house so that we don't feel bad for her?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Jinhua hurriedly, and said sternly:
"Hua'er, how can you accuse your elder sister-in-law? Why don't you hurry up and come over and apologize to her, hurry up!"

Seeing that Mrs. Shen was trembling with anger, and seemed to be a little out of breath, Shen Jinhua was startled, and hurried to Mrs. Shen, supported her, patted her on the back gently, and asked nervously:
"Mother, are you alright?"

Mrs. Shen secretly gave Shen Jinhua a wink, and still said sternly:
"Asshole, I'm fine, hurry up and apologize to your elder sister-in-law."

Shen Jinhua understood the meaning of the eyes Mrs. Shen gave her. After the eyes flashed slightly, she bowed towards Tian Mixiang and said:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Just now, my younger sister was in a hurry and offended my sister-in-law. I hope my sister-in-law will not take offense. After that, my younger sister will never dare again."

Seeing this, Tian Mixiang looked at Shen Jinhua contemptuously, with her nostrils upturned, and said disdainfully:

"Hmph, for Mother's sake, I'll agree for now, remember what you said."

After finishing speaking, she left from Shen Jinhua and Mrs. Shen, without any appearance of being a daughter-in-law, but Mrs. Shen, the mother-in-law, smiled all over her face and watched her leave.

Seeing this, Shen Jinhua said angrily:
"Mother, look at her appearance. She doesn't look like a daughter-in-law. She doesn't pay attention to you at all. And these maids are almost dying. She still doesn't let her go. It's too much."

Hearing Shen Jinhua, who has always been gentle and dignified, also uttered some indignant words, Mrs. Shen sighed softly:
"Hua'er, just accommodate her a little bit. Don't you know what your brother is like? To marry such a daughter-in-law is considered a high incense. This is the family your aunt found. Besides, I'm afraid there is no one in the family who thinks highly of your brother."

What Mrs. Shen said made Shen Jinhua feel sad. The Shen family was getting weaker and weaker, especially after the imperial business name was taken away, the lintel was even lowered.

Thinking of this, a trace of water mist flashed in Shen Jinhua's eyes, and she helped Mrs. Shen go to the back room, and said in a low voice while walking:
"Mother, this is too hard for you. She is the daughter-in-law who should honor you, but now it's the other way around. It's really unreasonable!"

Speaking of which, both Shen Jieli and Shen Jinhua respected Mrs. Shen, even Gao Pan did the same, never dared to show Mrs. Shen lightly, but Tian Mixiang did not take Mrs. Shen seriously at all.

"Okay, Hua'er, don't talk about it, my mother is old, and I can't accompany you for a few years. When you get married, it is also your brother's business. As long as she can give birth to your brother's son and a half, mother will be fine." What's the point of suffering a little more?"

After hearing Mrs. Shen's relief, Shen Jinhua looked at Mrs. Shen full of pity, and cried and said:

"Mother, what are you talking about, you are going to live a long life..."

Speaking of Shen Jinhua holding Mrs. Shen and crying into tears, she suddenly thought in her heart that Gao Pan is coming back, and when she gets married, who will accompany Mrs. Shen?
