Chapter 55 Water and Fire

Along the way, the two sisters-in-law talked and laughed, fell in love with each other, and even the maids who passed by couldn't help looking sideways. There has always been a discord between my sister-in-law. It is rare to see a sister-in-law who has such a good relationship, and she has met a sister-in-law in the separate room for less than a few times. Shaohua didn't care about this. Every day when he had nothing to do, he came to beg Xin Zixuan to talk about Liang Ping. He listened and laughed, and life was very easy. Although Wanhua told her not to run too often, she answered a few times and still came over.

Thinking that she was born in the Li family, at least she could spend more time with Xin Zixuan. If she ran to the Wang family next to her or the sworn end of the Li family, she really didn't have time to cry.

Anyway, Xin Zixuan is my sister, so I know her preferences and habits very well. Looking at Xin Zixuan smiling on her face, but her eyes were absent-minded, Shaohua couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Before I asked, I heard the quarreling sound in Taihe Garden. I listened carefully, which was mixed with Ling's confident sound and Liu's soft and beautiful tone.

Shouldn't it be that the two brothers quarreled? Shaohua felt that his head was a little big. Recently, Ling has been dissatisfied with Liu's generous expenses. It would be really humiliating to quarrel in front of Mr. Li Ge this time. Xin Zixuan seemed to have the same idea as her. Like her, they accelerated their pace and rushed over.

As soon as I entered Taihe Garden, I saw the tense momentum of Ling and Liu. Liu also paid attention to the image, but with a stinky face, facing Ling. On the contrary, Ling's anger rushed to the crown, and Liu looked much weaker.

Shaohua looked around and found that Li Ge was not in the house, and the big stone in his heart was still a little lower.

But anyway, this is in the old man's yard. Even if he is not there, someone will naturally report to him when he comes back. So, she hurried in and saluted the two elders. Wanhua saw Shaohua coming, and even followed Xin Zixuan behind her, and immediately ran over and pulled her to her side.

Xin Zixuan didn't know why, so she had to salute and walk behind Liu.

Shaohua pulled Wanhua back, looked at the incompatible momentum of the two sisters-in-chief, lowered his voice and asked, "Third sister, what the hell is going on?"

How did he suddenly come to Taiheyuan? If Li Xunzhuo knew about it, he was assigned to scold Ling first. I have to say that Li Ge taught a group of filial sons. Not to mention Li Zhuoyue, who died early, Li Liangxun and Li Xunzhuo brothers, are not only brothers and brothers, but also to their father. It is also because of this that the two brothers can still live together after getting into a family and career, and Liu and Ling are obviously at odds with each other, but the two families can still get along well. In the final analysis, this is still due to the two brothers.

"Aren't you watching?" Wanhua shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm asking what happened. If you want to quarrel, go back to our yard to quarrel. Why did you come to my grandfather's yard?" Shaohua turned around and happened to look at Xin Zixuan. He shook his head helplessly at her doubtful eyes.

Wanhua saw everything in his eyes and immediately pulled Shaohua's hand unhappily. "I can tell you, don't be with your sister-in-law anymore, or your mother will scold you to death."

"What's the relationship with your sister-in-law?" Shaohua was not happy that Xin Zixuan was pulled into the water. My sister-in-law didn't intervene in the matter between mother and Burm.

"What a conscienceless thing. What benefits did she give you? She bent her arm out so quickly." Wanhua stared at her angrily, covered his hand and attached it to Shaohua's ear, and whispered.

"Ah!" Shaohua exclaimed, and Wanhua was so angry that she hurriedly covered her mouth. Fortunately, Ling and the two did not notice that the sisters were hiding in the corner talking.

At this time, Ling looked at Xin Zixuan and said angrily, "Dang's daughter-in-law, since you are also here, let's make it clear. If you want to manage this family, as long as your grandfather says a word, I will let go and let your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take care of it. But the premise is that you must settle all these accounts for me. I don't care how much money our second room lost about the promotion of Silang and Erlang, but further on, how many bills Silang owed outside and how many things he took in the shop under the name of the second room. Calculate all this for me and make it up. From then on, I won't care about anything.

When Xin Zixuan heard Ling's fierce expression, her stiff tone left almost no room. She was confused and wanted to say a few soft words to Ling. Liu immediately took her hand and stood next to Liu's mother and said, "Second lady, this is not you! Let the old man listen and think that you are embarrassing your daughter-in-law. Who doesn't know that she just came back from Liang Ping, and she is not familiar with anything. Our wife hasn't seen the account book in your hand for so many years. Now that you let her see it, can you still see the money?

"Presumptuous!" Ling slapped the table and his face turned cold. The teacup on the table trembled a few times and almost fell down. "Master, when is it your turn to be a slave?"

Ma's mother is also a face-to-face figure in Xuyuan. Even Li Sijin politely called her "Mother Mai" when he saw her. Usually, when Liu didn't speak much, almost all of her mother Mai spoke on her behalf, and Li Liangxun didn't speak loudly to her. But now he has been so severely humiliated by the Ling family, and his face suddenly turned blue and white, which was very embarrassing.

"Second brother and sister, Mai's family is not a slave!" Liu finally couldn't stand it. She usually listened to the soft and gentle voice and became angry, and she also looked extremely majestic.

Ma's mother is the daughter of Liu's wet nurse. She grew up with Liu. After Xu got married, she came to be Liu's companion. Because of this, Mother Mai walked with her chin up in Xuyuan and spoke with full confidence. After careful calculation, Mother Mai is not only not a slave, but her identity is indeed not low, but all this is no different for the Ling family. The owner of this family is Li. No matter how tall Mai's mother is, he is not tall enough to be on an equal footing with Li's daughter-in-law.

In fact, the conflict between Liu and Ling is a commonplace. It's nothing more than those accounts. Liu is used to being a rich and idle wife for so many years. Not to mention her husband's monthly income, she also has monthly money from the account. As soon as there is more spare money, he will be generous, and he is even more fond of Si Yan. The debts owed by the mother and son outside every month add up to a lot. Every reconciliation of the account room made Ling very angry and complained to Li Xunzhuo. But he always felt that his family was rich, and his brother was a man in the officialdom. It was not a problem to spend more on a large house, and sometimes he said that Ling was too narrow-minded.

Now Si Yan is studying at home, but recently Liu has squandered several times for the promotion of his eldest son. Now that Xin Zixuan has been thrown to Xiyuan to settle accounts for a few days, he proposes to let her take care of the family with Ling, because Xin Zixuan is the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, and the family will still be handed over to their husband and wife in the future.

If so, Ling will put up with it. Liu said that since Li Sijin came back and Si Yan was about to get married, the share of the family should be divided according to the male. Because Simo is still too young, it doesn't count.

Hearing this, Ling immediately became angry: it is obvious that the father and son of the big house will account for more than half of the Li family's property!

Ling didn't say anything, patted the table and asked Li Gelao for justice, but Li Gelao was not out. He met the Liu family who came later, and the two brothers-in-laws were in a fight.

"I don't care if you like to take slaves as masters, but this family can't make the final say." When Ling's temper exploded, he was completely open-mouthed, ignoring Liu's iron face, and the Wanhua sisters also felt that things were a little too much behind.

"Second aunt, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. Don't be angry and say something." Xin Zixuan hurried out to make a comer.

"Misunderstanding? Ha ha, what a joke. What else can I say about your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law singing white faces and black faces? Let's go, Sanniang and Wuniang, let's not be with them. Let's look unlucky!" Ling couldn't wait for Li Ge, so he simply got up and left.

Wanhua immediately caught up with him, afraid that Ling's anger would be too angry and affect the innocent. Shaohua looked back at Xin Zixuan and saw that she was also standing in place awkwardly. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. She was urged by Han Zhangyi, so she had to catch up with Ling's pace in a hurry.

The army returned to Xiyuan aggressively. When Ling returned to the house, he could no longer control it. He was so angry that he picked up something and smashed it on the ground.

"Mom, this cup costs ten taels. If you smash that set, you will lose everything. This is Dad's favorite." Shaohua rushed up quickly and stopped Ling's hand in time. Cui's mother and Wanhua covered their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. Ling stared at her and picked up the jade square-mouthed long-necked vase on the table. As soon as he raised his head, Shaohua screamed again, "Mother, you can see clearly that this vase was just sent by my father from the south. Let alone how much it is, it is such a pair. If it is smashed, Dad will be sad.

Speaking of silver alone, Ling Shi could still gritt his teeth and lose it cruelly. When it came to Li Xunzhuo. Thinking about the rare few days ago, he took the initiative to send so many things, and he was so happy that Ling took it out to show off. If this is smashed, the silver will not come back.

Wanhua was also eye-catching. Seeing Ling's walk to the Bogu shelf, a blue and white porcelain plate with fine lines and dark snow green plums, he immediately said, "This plate was sent by his father the day before yesterday. It is said that it was the private collection of college scholars in the previous dynasty, and this is the only one."

"And the cup next to it is the crystal eight interesting long cups of the Western Regions, each of which is different, a set of eight pieces." Shaohua said slowly.

"This is a three-color treasure plate, only one." Wanhua also breathed his breath.

When Ling saw that her two daughters seemed to be in partnership, she deliberately wanted to be angry with her, but a few days ago, she put her hidden treasures all over the house and was about to smash them. I really raised two white-eyed wolves, and my arms turned out!"

Shaohua saw that Ling didn't have so much urgent shouting when he had just entered the house, so he rubbed over and laughed softly and said, "No, no matter how he turned to A Niang's arms." Seeing that Ling didn't appreciate it, she had to sigh, "Mom, it's not you, just quarrel with Burm. If you go to Taiheyuan to make such a scene, what can the people next to you say? Those who don't know will only say that you are shouting loudly. You can't learn from Burm to let Cui's mother go to fight.

"She? What can she compare with the Mai family!" Ling exhaled angrily.

Shaohua answered, "Then let's do it. It's better for you to be angry and smash your own things. Do you still hang it in the account room?"

Ling snorted coldly, and Wanhua rubbed her chest and said smoothly, "Mother, you fell out with Burm. Dad must be unhappy when you look back." It's better to let Li Xunzhuo and Li Liangxun talk about this kind of thing by themselves. It's always easy to have friction between sisters-in-law.

When Ling heard this, the hard-pressed anger rushed up again. Humph! If he speaks for him again this time, I will go back to my mother's house!"
