Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

The second courtyard where Hua Liangping and Mrs. Li Er live is not big, but the front yard is inverted, the back yard is the main room and the east and west wing rooms. Some flowers and trees are planted in the yard. It is winter now, and there are only one tree. The pine trees are very green, and because it snowed last night, there is still some snow on top of them.

Mrs. Li Er was usually pampered, but she was tired last night, she only walked around the yard, her forehead was sweating slightly, and her cheeks were flushed.

After hearing what Huazhen said, she blushed even more when she remembered what happened last night, and hurriedly lowered her head and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief to cover it up.

Hua Zhen followed her hand, saw the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and couldn't help sighing: "Father is right, mother's body is indeed a little weak, and she has to take care of her."

Lady Li Er smiled and was about to open her mouth to speak when there was a little girl running back and forth at the corner door over there: "The old lady got up."

Seeing that Li Shi was a little flustered, Hua Zhen smiled and helped her straighten the hairpin on her head, and asked Li Shi and her father to go ahead, while she and Wu Qing walked behind, and the four of them went to see the elders together.

The new mother-in-law was one year younger than him, and she heard that she was beautiful, so she always wanted to avoid suspicion, so since Wu Qing entered the house of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she didn't say a word except to ask for peace. Only then did I talk to my father-in-law about military affairs.

Now following behind his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wu Qing gave Hua Zhen a wink, Hua Zhen smiled at him, and he understood the meaning, closed his eyes and concentrated on walking.

Lady Li Er heard from Hua Liangping last night that the old lady never gets up early, so Fang Anxin messed around with him, but she thought that on the first day of the wedding, she should wait for her husband to get up and change clothes, then her mother-in-law to wash and eat, and to honor her mother-in-law before returning to the house For personal use, a little leisure time.

Unexpectedly, after getting up early in the morning to wash and wash, her husband doesn't need her to serve her, so she can eat with peace of mind. The powerful stepdaughter doesn't make it difficult for her, she sincerely asks her what she likes to eat, and directly hands over her husband's monthly bill.

Before she got married, she knew that her stepdaughter had the final say on everything in the Hua family, and her husband also valued her stepdaughter very much. If her stepdaughter was a little more difficult for her, her life would be very difficult.

But when she came down in the morning, she was comfortable and unaffected. Her husband was old and didn't talk much, but he had her in his eyes. The stepdaughter didn't get close to her, but she was kind and polite, and she even taught her how to ride a horse and box. She never thought about it.

Think about it again. The annual salary of a sixth-rank official is only 150 taels of silver. The family gives her and her husband five taels a month, and 60 taels a year for twelve months. The 60 taels of silver are not used for family expenses. Making clothes, but her and her husband's pocket money.

There are about a dozen servants in the two yards of the Hua family, and they also raise at least three or four horses, as well as a car. The old lady is still sick, and her annual expenses can't be less than a hundred taels. She lives extravagantly, and 200 taels is enough. Husband The remaining salary is not enough, even if there is a reward from the Governor's Mansion, it must not be too much.

When Miss Li Er walked to the main courtyard and main room, she thought about these things in her heart.

When she arrived at her mother-in-law's room, her mother-in-law was seriously ill, and she would cover her head and sigh from time to time, asking the girl to rub her acupuncture points, but she held her up and talked to her a lot, and then gave her a greeting gift.

She wanted to serve her mother-in-law for breakfast, but her mother-in-law only let her sit down and drink tea and eat snacks, saying that there were no such big rules in the house, and the stepdaughter just smiled and introduced breakfast, and put her mother-in-law's favorite food in front of her, and then Sit down and let only girls and women serve.

After her mother-in-law finished her breakfast, she was busy making tea and water, and finally served her mother-in-law once.

When eating breakfast, the mother-in-law covered her head from time to time to rest for a while. After eating, she took the medicine again. The mother-in-law was so uncomfortable that she couldn't sit still and wanted to lie down in the house.

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law barely endured the pain, and smiled at her and her stepdaughter: "You and Liangping are newly married, and he doesn't have much leave for marriage. What are you doing with me? Go back and rest with Liangping."

"Zhen'er, let's go, isn't Wu Qing going back to be on duty tomorrow? You young couples should also talk to each other. I have a girl and a woman to take care of me. I don't have to make you tired. Just keep your voice down, I can't stand it." .”

Mrs. Li probably knew that Mrs. Mao's words were sincere, but because she was a new wife, she didn't dare to do anything, and Hua Liangping was not in front of her, so she turned her head to look at Huazhen.

Hua Zhen saw the way Li Shi looked at her father all morning, and thought that she was right. Li Shi was weak, gentle and docile, and he was a person who could get along with his father in harmony.

Seeing that Li Shi actually wanted to see what she meant, Hua Zhen was a little bit dumbfounded, so he could only smile and said: "Grandmother, then my mother and I will go back. Grandmother is good to rest. If you have something to do, please ask someone to call me. Right behind."

Hua Zhen took Li Shi's hand and went out the door, seeing Li Shi standing beside her father with low eyebrows and going back together, her footsteps were always half a step behind her father's, she didn't quite understand Li Shi's character for a while.

She lost her mother when she was ten years old, her father was busy with errands, and her grandmother wanted to take care of her, but she was also weak. From then on, she suffered from headaches from time to time, so she took over the account book from her grandmother and took care of the housework.

In these years, she has endured hardships and hardships, and she has also suffered from the anger of the servants, but she is happy because her father said that she will recruit a son-in-law for her to take over the family business in the future, so she can live comfortably without relying on her husband or others Satisfactory.

When interacting with the wives and children of relatives and father's colleagues, regardless of the origin, appearance and temperament of these wives and girls, most of them are also looking at their own livelihood.

Governor Pei's wife also summoned her to speak. The year before last, Governor Lin and his wives came, and she saw the words and deeds of the ladies who were born in the middle of the capital.

Li Shi was also the first person she saw who was determined to live on others.

The corner of her mouth raised into a smile, and Wu Qing caught a glimpse of her, and asked her in a low voice, "Zhener, what did you think of?"

Hua Zhen said with a smile: "Didn't you always worry about Mrs. Li... Madam hides bad intentions, and will play tricks in front of Dad from now on?"

Wu Qing sighed: "Really, it's not that I think people are bad, it's that I have stayed under the same roof with my stepmother for several years, and I know that even if I can face some things, I can't live with them in my heart."

"I know you are filial. I think our father has been lonely all these years, and there is no caring person to talk to. It's just like this. You don't have to marry a wife. Isn't it good to have a good concubine?"

"Now my wife is married by a bright media, and she has a place in everything she does. If she gives birth to a boy in the future, it's not impossible for her to see you as a dislike, and to divorce your father and daughter..."

After Wu Qing finished speaking, he just walked into the house, and when he entered the door, he lowered his head to untie the strap of the cloak for Hua Zhen, then took off his own cloak, and handed them all to the girl.

Huazhen just smiled and listened to Wu Qing, then took his hand into the bedroom, leaned on him and smiled: "I know you are worried about me, for my own good, but I insist on letting dad marry a wife There is a reason, I told you."

"Taking a concubine is certainly a peace of mind, but one concubine's status is inconvenient and cannot socialize with the ladies; the second concubine's children are concubines, and the future younger siblings are born inferior to others; the third good concubine is different from common house servants , and it can be rectified in the future.”

"Being able to straighten things up, they are also close to your father, just like you are worried about your wife. But after all, the children bear the reputation of being a concubine, and they can't represent the Hua family to go out to socialize and act. The harm is big and the benefit is small. Why is it so?"

Wu Qing frowned and sighed: "Zhen'er always thinks of the family so much."

Hua Zhen said helplessly: "You, I will be the head of the Hua family in the future, and you will be the husband of the family. Our children will also be the head of the Hua family when they grow up. Why don't I consider the Hua family?"

"Then it's up to us to think about it. We should marry a housewife for our father and get along well with her. If we have difficulties in the future, she can justifiably help."

"In case I become pregnant and can't manage the family, should I leave this mess to my grandmother, or to the girl, mother-in-law and father's concubine? Will the concubine help me take care of the children and raise them, or represent the Hua family for me?" Going out to socialize, visiting the governor's wives during the holidays?"

Seeing that Wu Qing pursed her lips and remained silent, Hua Zhen smiled again and said: "Don't think about it, I have figured it out today, I think the person is right, my wife has to rely on one person to live in peace, I will Think of a way to make her only rely on me, and not rely on others, won't it be over?"

Wu Qing asked again: "What if the wife has a son and thinks she can rely on him?"

Huazhen got a little impatient, got up from him, rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll let my younger brother lean on me, respect me as his own father and mother, and it's over!"

Only then did Wu Qing put her heart back into her stomach. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was annoyed, she hurriedly said a load of good things like "I knew Zhen'er had the most idea".

The flowers here really gave Wu Qing a reassurance. In the side courtyard, Mrs. Li Er packed up the dowry box, took out the daily objects and clothes materials, and clothes, shoes and socks made for the Hua family. The military attache's husband has no airs at all, and gradually made up his mind to help her carry this and that.

She knows that in the hands of her stepdaughter, she can no longer touch the housekeeper, but she can worry about not needing a housekeeper. She is the stepmother who is being married by the media. There is no shortage of supply, nor is it short of anything.

This morning, she also somewhat understood how the third sister said "living in peace and stability".

What my mother said... I shouldn't listen to it anymore.

Now she has a dowry of 660 taels in her hand, of which 300 taels are box money. She doesn’t spend money on food and clothes every year, and there are monthly rules. Live an honest life, nothing will lack her or her.

Not to mention how much she will hurt her relationship with the master when she fights for things, but she can't grab Zhen'er with such a strong temper. Don't gain anything and ruin your good life.

Two days passed with some sweetness and exhaustion in Anwen, and on the third day, Mrs. Li Er returned to the house in three courts.

The second lady of Li told her thoughts to Li's old lady, Li Sanjie, Li Sanjie felt sore in her heart, couldn't hold back her tears, and sighed: "Sister, you finally figured it out."

Seeing her younger sister crying, Li Er's wife couldn't help crying and sighed: "I used to be confused and caused my younger sister to worry a lot. From now on, I won't be confused anymore."

The two sisters held hands and wept, only Mrs. Li was anxious when she heard what Mrs. Li said.

But before Mrs. Li could speak, Third Sister Li glanced over, the meaning in her eyes made Mrs. Li dare not speak out.

Third Sister Li patted Mrs. Li Er's hand again and said, "Sister, just live a good life in Hua's house, and be safe and sound. My mother and the family have me, so you don't have to worry. When you're safe there, I'll take care of you." Go see you."

Mrs. Li Er nodded, leaned into Li Sanjie's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, our eldest girl said that 24 and I will go to visit Mrs. Su at Governor Lin's house and thank you. Are you still thinking about Liu Xianglian?" When Mrs. Su is happy that day, I will ask you and Mrs. Su a few words."

Third Sister Li's eyes darkened, and she whispered, "Sister, you don't have to ask me about it."

Mrs. Li Er asked: "What's the matter? If you are afraid that Mrs. Su will get annoyed by me and think I'm too talkative, then it's nothing. I heard that Mrs. Su is very kind."

"Besides, when we were in Beijing, didn't we hear that Liu Erlang somehow changed his temper, first came to the Lin family as a martial arts master, and then went to the northwest to join the army? Mrs. Su must know where he is."
