It's forbearance, but Mrs. Qiao's mental torture method really doesn't have much effect on Gong Zhuoliang. An ordinary daughter-in-law is treated so coldly by her mother-in-law, and she may cry secretly many times, but Gong Zhuoliang doesn't care about it at all. It's not that he was hungry, he just thought that her running words were in foreign languages, and he served tea and water by her side for more than four hours a day to listen to lessons, and he thought that he was working part-time for the monthly profits.
Besides, Gong Zhuoliang is not a persimmon after all, he let Mrs. Qiao knead it into a flat shape, and honestly became a 'shy' bride for more than half a month, so he set his sights on a money-grubbing housekeeper's daughter-in-law next to Mrs. Qiao.
Gong Zhuoliang asked Qiao Yingze's book boy, Qiao Ming, to check her family background. He was sure that she was dishonest, so he tempted her to take his belongings, and said something disrespectful to him, and then Han Shu picked it up in front of Mrs. Qiao. Go, sue her for being a slave and deceiving the master.
Mrs. Qiao really helped the old man around her, and protected the character of the housekeeper's wife in public. When he secretly thought that the young lady was weak and easy to bully, Gong Zhuoliang found evidence that the daughter-in-law embezzled money from Qiao's family.
Although Gong Zhuoliang gave it to Mrs. Qiao 'privately', there was no way to hide the fact that there were too many people in the house, and Mrs. Qiao was very ashamed. He couldn't fault Gong Zhuoliang, the 'victim', and had to give everyone an explanation, so he could only blame the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and kicked out their family. Even seeing Gong Zhuoliang gave him a headache, so he simply went to the hospital. He didn't even let him serve the meals, clearly showing his dislike for the eldest son and the first room.
Originally, Gong Zhuoliang learned to be a housekeeper by his wife, and the servants would be more concerned about this future headed mistress, but with Madam Qiao's statement, everyone understood that she did not intend to delegate power to the eldest daughter-in-law. The shallow servants paid less attention to Qiao Yingze's room.
"Zhuo Zhuo... it's better to go to mother's side and wait."
As usual, he woke up Gong Zhuoliang early in the morning, and Qiao Yingze stroked his hair, which was too much for him, persuading him a little hesitantly.
For more than a month, he has seen clearly the anger that Gong Zhuoliang has suffered. He really felt distressed and blamed himself. He felt that if he was not useless, why did he let his wife suffer so much grievance at home? Although Gong Zhuoliang was in front of him It wasn't obvious, but how could the careful Qiao Yingze fail to notice that Gong Zhuoliang's calm face was gathering more and more impatience and irritability.
"snort… "
Gong Zhuoliang, who didn't want to get up, hummed and protested subconsciously. He habitually stretched out his small hands under his clothes to touch his chest. fruit.
"Zhuo Zhuo, although mother said that you don't need to serve us, we can't really break the rules. In this way, others will only say that we are not filial, and grandma will definitely not like it."
Shrinking his chest, he took out that restless little hand. Qiao Yingze held it back, dumbfounded, and then his eyes dimmed.
In the past, Gong Zhuoliang set up rules with Mrs. Qiao every day. Although Qiao Yingze felt sorry for him, she still had some expectations. He felt that his mother still had a place in his mother's heart as a husband and wife. Zhuo Liang, Qiao Yingze knew that the man was determined to hand over the family to the youngest son, and he was afraid that when the second brother's daughter-in-law came in, there would be no room for them in the Qiao Mansion.
"I know... Xianggong, are you unhappy that I did this? Does grandma don't like me anymore?"
It could be seen that Qiao Yingze was a little unhappy recently, Gong Zhuoliang thought he was unhappy that he had hurt her mother-in-law's face, after all, what he did was really not very advanced, and anyone who was smart could see that he was 'fighting' with her mother-in-law, And Mrs. Qiao is also a ruthless character, telling everyone that I have suffered from my daughter-in-law. I can't afford to provoke such a daughter-in-law and I have to hide, so the soft skin that Gong Zhuoliang put on herself before was revealed in one word. If he really designed it for himself If you feel complacent when you come to Mrs. Qiao and stop serving in Mrs. Qiao's courtyard, then you will really be called unvirtuous and unfilial, and even the old lady will despise him.
"How could it be? If you are really submissive, grandma will be embarrassed."
Although Mrs. Qiao did not intervene after the incident yesterday, but Qiao Yingze believed that that person was not so arbitrary and biased, so he reminded Gong Zhuoliang today that no matter what he thought in his heart, he must not lose his respect for his elders on the surface. Respect and filial piety.
"Really? I sometimes do things out of tune. If you think there is something wrong, just tell me directly. Don't worry so much. I know you are all for me. "
Gong Zhuoliang also knew that his little husband had a clear view of things, and he was definitely his biggest support and umbrella in this family, so he must hug his thighs tightly.
"Well, according to me, you have to be more respectful to your mother now than before. When you are free, you should go to grandma's place to sit and sit. You don't need to compliment her. You just talk about funny things and make the old man happy. "
Gong Zhuoliang's trust benefited Qiao Yingze very much, he smiled and pinched his face that had finally grown some flesh, he looked much more energetic than when he first entered the door.
"Okay...then I will wait in front of the mother-in-law's door three times a day."
Gong Zhuoliang grinned brilliantly, thinking that he wanted to let everyone see whether it was his unfilial daughter-in-law or the unkind mother-in-law.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Gong Zhuoliang, who had finished dressing up, arrived at the gate of Mrs. Qiao's courtyard at the usual time. After receiving the message from Mrs. Qiao that she didn't need to serve, Gong Zhuoliang was not in a hurry to leave, so she took Ruo Lan and waited outside the courtyard, waiting for Mrs. Qiao to come out Then we went to serve the old lady for dinner together.
"I went to Gong's house yesterday. Did my mother get any definite news? I went to watch the excitement here yesterday, but I forgot about that."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was passing by, Gong Zhuoliang began to chat with Ruo Lan in a low voice, otherwise it would be quite boring to stand and wait in vain.
"Auntie's question is correct. Ruozi's family was originally a fisherman from a village on the other side of Bocheng Prefecture. His father came to Bocheng to seek medical treatment for his son. Later, he sold Ruozi to the Gong family to raise enough medical expenses. He After the son was cured, the father and son returned to their hometown, and they have not seen each other since, but Ruozi's contract of sale should have her father's name and clues."
Ruolan looked around, moved a little closer to Gong Zhuoliang, and whispered the news she found.
A few days after Gong Zhuoliang returned home last month, Ruo Lan got his order to go back to Gong's house, in the name of visiting Mrs. Gong, but actually went to see Aunt Wu. Gong Zhuoliang also asked Aunt Wu to secretly investigate Ruo Zi's life experience Although Aunt Wu's life in the Gong family has been ordinary these years, among the maids and women she has helped with kindness, there are a few who are grateful to her for trusting them, so when she heard her son asked her to help, Aunt Wu immediately became cautious. I did it cautiously, taking advantage of Ruo Lan's chance to visit again yesterday, I passed on everything I knew.
"It's a poor one. How is she doing recently?"
Gong Zhuoliang used to vaguely remember that Ruozi had a family, unlike Ruolan whose parents died and was sold by relatives, so he thought of a good way to deal with her, and now it seems that it is very feasible.
"Although I have restrained a lot, I still don't have a good face, and I have not lost my temper with Yu Hua who is next to my uncle, but I finally didn't make a fuss."
Living with such a person, Ruo Lan also has a headache, but she is afraid that someone who doesn't catch her will cause trouble, so she has no choice but to be on guard all the time.
"It's been hard work for you during this time, bear with it for another month, I've prepared the tigress' birthday gift, and let Ruozi show her face to reassure her, and I'll find an excuse to come over to your contract of sale."
Gong Zhuoliang thought in his heart that it was really inconvenient not to have many trustworthy servants around him. Apart from Qiao Ming, he only had three young servants who could be used by him. This time they had to work hard again.
In order to control them, Mrs. Gong didn't give Ruolan and Ruozi's contract of sale to him as the new 'master' at all. Instead, he held it firmly in his own hands. If Gong Zhuoliang wanted to keep Ruo Lan, or get Ruo Zi away, he had to get their contracts of prostitution first, so that he was qualified to deal with them.
"Miss Xie."
Ruo Lan knew that Gong Zhuoliang was willing to wish Mrs. Gong a long life, most of it was to get back her contract of selling herself to protect herself, and she was really grateful and warm in her heart.
The two were talking and laughing when they suddenly saw Mrs. Qiao coming out of the courtyard. Gong Zhuoliang straightened his posture, saluted Mrs. Qiao respectfully, and then followed Mrs. Qiao as usual, and went with her to the old lady. yard.
At noon, in the evening, and in the next few days, Gong Zhuoliang followed the same example, went over early and waited outside the courtyard for a while, then served the old lady with dinner with Mrs. Qiao, and then went back to each courtyard. The rest of the spare time was not to accompany the husband Reading, taking a nap, taking a walk, even going to the old lady's house to say hello, he lived a leisurely life, but his good mood was soon interrupted by an accident. Suddenly fell ill.
"Cough, Zhuo Zhuo, let's sleep in a separate room, cough cough, don't let you get sick anymore."
Holding the hand stove and snuggling up on the couch, Qiao Yingze, who was surrounded by a thick blanket, smiled weakly. A bowl of hot soup was hanging on the couch table. Thinking about how he hadn't taken medicine for more than a month, Qiao Yingze felt really good for a while. Some can't stand the smell... I thought my body was getting better, but I didn't expect to fall ill just because of a change in the sky, and it was all for nothing before.
For a moment, Qiao Yingze narrowed his eyes in frustration, feeling that he had no more strength.
"...Farewell, I don't worry about you, I will take care of you at night."
Wishing to block his nostrils with a veil, Gong Zhuoliang looked at the bowl of medicine on the table in disgust, but still resisted leaving Qiao Yingze's side.
Gong Zhuoliang himself is the kind of person who is not sick, but when he is sick, he is extremely clingy. He hates the bad mood of being unaccompanied when he is sick. He judges others by himself, and he doesn't want Qiao Yingze to be alone when he is sick. boil.
"It's enough to have a maid. Besides, don't you hate taking medicine the most? If someone infected by me gets sick, you have to drink this bitter medicine with me every day."
Gong Zhuoliang's answer made Qiao Yingze smile, but he still persuaded him not to let Gong Zhuoliang accompany him, but there was some reluctance in his tone.
"You are my husband-in-law, so naturally I have to take care of you. If you want a maid, I'll just sleep on this couch."
Seeing Qiao Yingze's duplicity, Qiao Yingze raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that he is not being frank, if he wants me to accompany him, he should just say it, but he must pay attention to the matter of being infected. In this era of backward medical development, he But I dare not let myself get sick easily and die easily.
"Okay then, thank you lady."
Qiao Yingze looked at his persevering little lady, a sliver of vitality appeared in his tired heart, and a faint joy could not help showing on his face.
"Master, dinner is ready, let's take the medicine first."
Han Shu came in with a food box, and while talking, laid out the small bowl of porridge and a small dish of vegetarian dishes, and asked Qiao Yingze to take the medicine before the meal first. As for Gong Zhuoliang, there will be a kitchen in a while Send them together.
"Wait, are you going to give Yingze this for dinner?"
Stopping Qiao Yingze from taking medicine, Gong Zhuoliang looked dissatisfied at the little cat food on the table, thinking that sick people just need nutrition, eating such a little food is still vegetarian, how can the body have the energy to fight the virus
