After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1146 Brother-in-law

After returning home, Haijiao couldn't wait to find his younger sister Haitang to report his brother-in-law Jin Jiashu.

Although it is a good thing that Jin Jiashu is devoted to his younger sister, he is too much of a troublemaker. He has too many ways to act like a spoiled child and his words are even more disgusting. He also shamelessly shows off in front of his elder brother-in-law. Doesn't he deserve a beating? !

Haitang was laughing secretly while covering her mouth while listening, which made Haijiao feel embarrassed. He said awkwardly: "I don't really dislike him, but I feel that his temper now...is not as straightforward as before. Instead, he is timid and makes people angry when they see him!"

Haitang smiled and said, "I know. He used to say some cheesy things from time to time, but he just didn't say them in front of brother. Now he feels that we are almost a family and there is no need to be estranged from brother. That's why he speaks freely in front of brother. This means he wants to be close to brother. Brother, don't be angry with him. Sister will get married sooner or later. If she marries him, at least he knows her inside out and you can control him. If it were someone else, would you really be at ease?"

Haijiao was angry because Jin Jiashu had said cheesy things to Xiaomei before, and was about to ask him what he had said. But after hearing what Haitang said next, his expression eased up: "If it was someone else, I would really be worried. Even if he has a lot of bad things, at least he is reliable in character, willing to listen to you, and his family background is not so messy and troublesome. Compared with Zhou Yijun, Wu Ke, Geng Tianyou and others, Xiao Jin's family background is the simplest, and it will be the easiest for you to live with him."

He knew that his younger sister would get married sooner or later, so he had been keeping an eye out for suitable candidates for his sister's wife. He was inclined to look for someone among his familiar friends, and after a horizontal comparison, Jin Jiashu was indeed the most suitable. It just so happened that Jin Jiashu himself also had a sincere admiration for Haitang, so even if he, as a brother, felt uncomfortable, he had to quietly match the two of them.

However, even if he had made perfect preparations in his heart, it was not so easy for him to change his mind emotionally. He really didn't mean to be jealous. It was just that the little sister who had grown up with him since childhood, who knew the secret of his rebirth and had always helped him and comforted him, who had always supported him in his efforts to climb up in this life and always helped him with strategies and analysis, was about to marry someone else. From then on, she could no longer live in the same house with him, and could no longer discuss various things with him as closely as before. Haijiao always felt bad in his heart, and when he looked at Jin Jiashu, his mood became more complicated.

Haitang looked at her brother's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking. She softened her voice and said, "Brother, even if I get married, I will still live in the capital. It will be easy for me to come back to see you. I don't have parents-in-law above me. I will be the head of the family after I get married. Brother Jin will not stop me. I can go out whenever I want and go wherever I want. The Empress Dowager in the palace can't control me, and Ma Ma won't blame me. As long as I convince Brother Jin, who can stop me from meeting my relatives?

"When the time comes, the worst that can happen is that I can bring Brother Jin back to see Grandpa, Grandma and you. If you miss me, you can also go to the Jin family to find me. You work in the Jinyiwei Yamen on weekdays, so it's convenient for you to go to the Jin family. It doesn't take much time to ride or walk. We can be like before. If you encounter any difficulties that you can't tell others, just come to me to discuss it. By then, I will be the mistress of the Jin family. I don't need to worry about anyone at all. I will never let the news leak out and let you suffer!"

Hai Jiao laughed when he heard this: "Okay, if I really encounter something difficult to deal with, I will definitely consult you. But don't go to your parents' house all day long. Even if you are the head of the family and have no scruples, the Queen Mother in the palace is also an elder, and Ma Ma also has the grace of educating Xiao Jin. No matter how unscrupulous you are in your heart, don't go too far. You still have to put on a good show, otherwise people will complain that you are disrespectful to your elders and ruin your reputation. You are a good person, why do you ask others to pick up dirty water for you?"

Haitang waved his hand: "Don't worry, brother. I know what I'm doing and I'll know when to stop." Haijiao wanted to persuade her again, but then he thought, my little sister has always been very opinionated and reliable since she was a child, so why should he nag her? Even if my little sister really gets into trouble in the future, can he, as a brother, just sit back and watch? When the time comes, he will just do it. As long as he remains standing, has power in his hands, and can climb up steadily, people will have to be cautious when they want to bully my little sister. He doesn't need to restrict my little sister everywhere, because my little sister is not the kind of foolish person who acts recklessly!
Thinking of this, Haijiao changed his words immediately: "Vanilla has already given the new pair of boots you made to Xiaojin. Xiaojin said that he tried them on and they fit him perfectly. He wore them on his wedding day. I don't think his feet would suddenly grow bigger in the past two or three days, making the boots that fit him tight, right?"

Haitang smiled and said, "Really? It's good that it fits. Brother, I saw my sister-in-law waiting for you outside the door for a while. I don't know if she has something to ask you. Why don't you go and accompany her first? I also need to ask Mother Li and Xiangcao who are the people in the Jin family now, what their personalities are, and whether they are easy to get along with!"

Hai Jiao stood up after hearing this and said, "Since you have something important to do, I will leave first. If you have any questions later, just come and ask me. Even if I can't answer, you can go directly to the Jin family and ask Xiao Jin."

Haijiao accompanied Zhuang Minyi back, and Haitang called Mother Li and Xiangcao over to question them.

Mama Li told her, "The Jin family is now managed by two housekeepers, one inside and one outside. The housekeeper of the outside courtyard is surnamed Li, and is a mature and steady man, about forty years old. It is said that he used to be a housekeeper in the imperial manor, and he is also smart. He was promoted by Mama Ma to be the chief housekeeper a few years ago. He was originally in charge of the tea room. As for the housekeeper of the inside courtyard, it is Mama Wang, who has a very kind temperament and smiles when he sees people. It seems that she is easy to get along with."

Vanilla also collected a lot of information: "Mother Wang is very lenient to her subordinates. Even if a subordinate makes a mistake, as long as he sincerely admits his mistake and cries pitifully, Mother Wang will be soft-hearted and will not punish him severely. Therefore, she is very popular and respected in the inner courtyard of the Jin family. I tried to test her a few times and felt that she was not a stubborn slave who would hold power. Instead, she was very humane. Ma Mama might have promoted her to be the manager because she knew her character."

Except for Ma Shangyi who occasionally came back to ask about the family affairs, the two housekeepers basically took care of the housework. Mother Li, with her two children, asked people inside and outside the family and found out that the servants of the Jin family got along well with each other, the troublemakers had been cleared out long ago, the male and female servants were paid on time and in the right amount every month, and no one deducted the clothes and food. Generally speaking, they were quite easy to manage. The servants knew that the queen mother would send people out of the palace to inquire from time to time, and Ma Ma had arranged spies in the Jin family mansion long ago, so they did not dare to make trouble.

Mother Li also found out one more thing. Jin Jiashu, the future son-in-law, now lives in the side courtyard next to the main courtyard. The servants or old ladies over 40 years old serve him in his daily life and meals. He is very self-disciplined and does not have anyone serving in the room. It can be said that he is devoted to his fiancée!

When Haitang heard this, she couldn't help but blush, coughed lightly, and turned her head away.

Although she had been mentally prepared for this, why did she feel so happy when she heard what Mother Li said?
