Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 491: A wake-up call for Cheng Xiaosi

Cheng Sanniang wanted to collect Cheng Xiaosi's management fee and raised it openly. The sisters settled the accounts clearly, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.

"You know, I am the mother of a child, so I need to make a lot of money. With your brother-in-law's salary, I can make two sets of clothes a year."

Cheng Xiaosi was very pleased and said: "Third sister worked so hard to help me take care of the house, so I can get 20% off. Let's take 30%, just as a betrothal gift for my nephew so that he can get a wife later."

She didn't want to be burdened, so she naturally had to pay for it.

Cheng Sanniang was happy, "Fourth aunt is so generous, I won't be polite."

Cheng Xiaosi nodded with a smile. She could actually use her elder brother to help take care of it, but again, she was married and couldn't always do things to take advantage of her mother's family, otherwise her sister-in-law would be unhappy.

If her sister-in-law gave it to her, she could take it, but she couldn't take the initiative to get it.

Before people came out of Jiang's house, the news that Cheng Yi and Cheng Yousan were back reached Cheng Xiaosi's ears, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, they are back. It's several days later than expected. I'll go take a look." ”

Together with Cheng Sanniang, the two sisters went out and got in the car and rushed to Cheng's house. When they arrived, both brothers had eaten. The big bowl of porridge went in with a slurping sound and fell into Cheng Xiaosi's eyes. , the mouths of her two brothers were like bottomless pits, capable of swallowing a cow alive.

Everyone was puzzled. Cheng Yousan gave his eldest brother a blank look, "It's not like the eldest brother was in a hurry to come back to see his sister-in-law and the two children. He didn't delay at all on the way. It was a few days later than the time in the letter. My sister-in-law will be worried and hurry on the road, wishing she could fly back directly. "

He has been away from home before and knows what it will be like when he comes back. How energetic he was on the way will be how exhausted he will be when he comes home.

After returning home, Cheng Xiaosi went directly to see her mother-in-law. Mrs. Yuan was preparing a betrothal gift for the girl from the Jiang family. Although she was taking a concubine, she still had to have the proper etiquette. When Cheng Xiaosi came in, Mrs. Yuan asked her to sit down. Next, he began to tell her what the rules were for taking concubines.

After she finished speaking, Cheng Xiaosi couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what if the eldest brother doesn't agree?"

After they swept away the food on the table like a whirlwind, they wiped their mouths with satisfaction. Cheng Yousan rubbed his belly, "Finally, we have eaten this meal. You don't know that it was so miserable for us to pass by. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Daqi came back. After seeing his two sons, his hanging heart was relieved, "It's good to come back. Let's talk about it later. Take a rest today and follow me into the palace tomorrow. The emperor has been waiting for you." news."

"Why is it so miserable? You have money on you."

Du Linxiang's ears turned red, and everyone in the room laughed. Xiao He smiled and said, "You are not married yet, so you can't understand your brother's thoughts. You will know after you get married and have children."

Cheng Yi said that everything was going well, "It went very smoothly. I originally thought that our capital city was lively enough. It was only when I arrived at Dongshu that I realized that there was a better world. It's rare that their national power has grown so fast in the past few years."

"How was your trip this time? Did it go well?"

Their hair was almost in strands, and it would take half a day just to wash up. The two sisters did not continue to disturb them, and their family members did not try to persuade them to stay. The whole family was not so polite.

Cheng Xiaosi also said, "We were relieved to see that the eldest brother and the third brother were back safely, so the third sister and I went back first and came back after two days when we are free."

When no one was around, I prepared the concubine for him.

Mrs. Yuan said: "This matter is not his fault."

Worried that this incident would frighten Cheng Xiaosi, Mrs. Yuan explained the reason to her, "Your eldest brother is the eldest son, and the family's expectations for him are naturally different. In the early years, he did not miss any business trips. Your father and I talked about He is extremely relieved that we have no involvement in his little family. Everything is arranged by your sister-in-law. "You have been here for a while, so you know my temper. As long as your little family is harmonious, I will be your mother-in-law." I will only be happy and never interfere.”

Cheng Xiaosi realized this. Her mother-in-law was never talkative about the couple's affairs, let alone mean, and she was still easy to get along with.

Mrs. Yuan changed the topic and wanted to take this opportunity to express her attitude to Cheng Xiaosi, "If you have conflicts between husband and wife, or quarrel over trivial matters, your father and I will not care. There are even fights between teeth and lips." time, let alone a couple.”

Most couples quarrel all their lives. If she, the mother-in-law, has to intervene, their days will be full of chaos. "But if the future of the family is involved, we parents must intervene."

Cheng Xiaosi said, "I have memorized everything my mother taught me."

This incident also sounded the alarm for her. No matter how good her life as a mother-in-law was, as long as the family and her son were involved, it would be easy to take care of her daughter-in-law.

Let’s talk about Yuan Heng. Although Yuan Heng was scolded, he had a beautiful concubine, and in the end he was still the beneficiary.

If you work hard in the future, you will still be appreciated.

Mrs. Hu's quarrel brought no benefit at all. From then on, she was disliked by her parents-in-law, and she also got a sister. When she thought about the life after she came back, she sighed for her.

So what if you have three children?
She was called back and left a concubine to accompany her husband. There were many concubines and concubines who were confirmed. Not to mention that she did not have a reliable natal family. She felt that those days were difficult when she thought about it.

Mrs. Yuan had no objection to Cheng Xiaosi. She said that these were just precautions. She also said a few words to comfort her. Cheng Xiaosi smiled on her face and said that her two brothers were back. "They came back today in a mess." Yes, I have suffered a lot along the way. I have to go to the palace tomorrow, and I don’t know what I will get from this trip.”

Mrs. Yuan also laughed, "This is good news. Your two brothers have not returned home for a long time. Your parents are worried about it. Your father talked about it two days ago and they are all looking forward to it."

Cheng Xiaosi nodded with a smile, "Mom, please be busy first. I'll go check on the child."

"Go, the two children are in your second uncle's yard."

As soon as she left, the smile on Mrs. Yuan's face disappeared, her brows furrowed slightly, and the mother-in-law beside her stepped forward, "Madam, why didn't you tell the young lady just now?"

Mrs. Yuan sighed. She wanted to hand over the family's middle income to Cheng Xiaosi. She looked down upon the eldest daughter-in-law, but she had to worry about Xuan'er and her brother. She had to give the eldest daughter-in-law the last resort. A shred of decency.

"I don't think Xiaosi will be willing. Haven't you seen her entrusting all her property to her third sister?"

The mother-in-law said, "In terms of suitability, the fifth young lady is the most suitable. She has the title of county lord, a powerful natal family, and is not short of money. No matter how you look at it, she is the most suitable mistress."

"The young lady is afraid that she will be eager for quick success."

What Mrs. Yuan didn't know was that this woman seemed to be persuading, but in fact she was carrying something private. The servants in the house were all eager to find Cheng Xiaosi in their palms, not only because of her good temper, but also because of her wealth and generosity.

The eldest young lady has lost power and does not have a wealthy and reliable natal family. If she gets a hold of the middle minister, she will not let go. In order to show off, she will have to take action on people like them, which is worrying.
