I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty
Page 22
Chai Xueying's eyes instantly turned red, and she choked up a little: "Brother, sister-in-law, Xueying, thank you on behalf of those widows, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang, who had been so amiable to her elder sister-in-law just now, heard the first half of Chai Xueying's words and thought that she was really here to ask for money. She immediately looked unhappy and interrupted with a thorny tone:
"Yes, Third Sister, Grandpa, and your two good brothers will give you all the money we have."
"As long as you want, I will sell everything I have to help you take care of those widows."
"Don't worry about the food, clothing and other expenses of our family. I can arrange it with some thought. Even if your sister-in-law is hungry, your nephew will not be hungry."
In an instant, the originally touching atmosphere was filled with awkwardness.
Chai Zhewei's face darkened and he scolded, "Madam, if it weren't for those widows' families who protected our third sister with their lives, our third sister would have died!"
"You mean to say that we, the Chai family, should live a good life and not care about the lives of those widows. Are you being ungrateful?"
She was scolded sharply for saying a few words of dissatisfaction. Wang, who felt extremely wronged, turned around with red eyes and pouted her lips, and walked to the chair next to her, sobbing:
"I, I said something! You are so mean to me!"
"I know they saved Third Sister's life. We, our family should take out money to take care of them. It's only right for those widows."
"Every time you gave money to Third Sister, I never said no!"
Chapter 58 Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work
Wang wiped her tears and questioned Chai Zhewei:
"But, have you asked about how things are going at home?"
"I, I manage the family alone, is it easy for me?"
"Do you know how long it has been since your son got new clothes?"
"Do you know that all my dowry was used to supplement the family income?"
"Wow, wow, you guys only care about my third sister and her dowry, but have you ever cared about me?"
"You, you Chai family, are too, too bullying!"
In an instant, Chai Zhewei's face turned pale, and he felt full of guilt as he looked at his wife who was crying.
Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling looked at each other, their eyes full of apology towards Wang.
My mother died early, my father doesn't take care of things, and Chai Zhewei is far away in Jiaozhou.
Although Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling often returned to Duke Huo's Mansion, they were both lazy people and never got involved in anything, nor did they think about helping out.
All affairs of the Huo Mansion were handled by Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law. She kept the mansion in perfect order and never complained.
No one ever asked about it and thought everything was fine.
At this moment, Wang felt upset and couldn't help but complain, then she was scolded. She felt so aggrieved that she told everyone about the hardships she had experienced over the years.
It can be said that everyone present was the culprit who bullied Wang.
"Madam, I have been sorry for you and made you suffer over the years."
Chai Zhewei took a few steps forward and hugged his wife in his arms, but was pushed away by his angry wife.
"Don't touch me! You don't have to care about my life or death! You didn't care before, and now, don't care now!"
His wife's words completely confused Chai Zhewei and he didn't know what to do.
Chai Xueying watched as her brother and sister-in-law had a rift and a quarrel because of her. She lowered her head in shame and bit her red lips guiltily.
Fang Yiyi stepped forward, held Chai Xueying's hand, and comforted his guilty little wife with his eyes.
His soft voice sounded.
"Sister-in-law, we came to your house without sending a message this time because Xueying knows that it has not been easy for you to manage the family business over the years."
"Brother-in-law, I made some money and received a reward from the emperor, so she couldn't wait and came with the reward."
With just one sentence, Wang, who was crying, stopped crying instantly, her red eyes full of disbelief.
The Chai brothers and Princess Baling also looked at their empty-handed brother-in-law with suspicion.
This subconscious reaction made Fang Yiyi speechless.
The reputation of its predecessor was really bad.
At the same time, I also gained a deep understanding of the romanticism of my predecessor.
It’s really amazing.
Despite having such a bad reputation, he was able to win the hearts of the three most outstanding beauties in Chang'an City. He really has some skills.
Fang Yiyi did not explain, but just looked outside the main hall and was about to ask someone to carry the things in.
Chai Xueying couldn't wait and ran out herself. Ten breaths later, more than thirty exquisite wooden boxes of different sizes were carried into the main hall.
No nonsense, just open it.
Fifty priceless gold, stone and jade artifacts shone brightly under the bright candlelight in the room.
Everyone was stunned.
Afterwards, the Chai family looked at the thin young man with a smile as bright as spring breeze, with satisfaction in their eyes.
The brother-in-law received a favor from the emperor, and as soon as the third sister said she wanted to bring the reward home, she brought it directly. This is because the brother-in-law dotes on their third sister.
Sanniang, the most favored daughter of the Chai family, did not marry the wrong person.
They are relieved.
Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu did not go to see anything, but went straight to Fang Yiyi and asked him what he had done to receive the reward from the emperor.
After hearing Fang Yiyi's talk about the coal mine.
Everyone was grinning with great joy, happy for Fang Yiyi.
Chapter 59 Father-in-law is convinced
The two men put their hands on Fang Yiyi's shoulders and patted him with satisfaction.
"Okay, okay, my brother-in-law did a great job!"
"After getting married, you've actually changed your personality and become sensible and motivated. We're relieved that our third sister is marrying you!"
Fang Yiyi, who was overwhelmed, trembled with each slap. He forced a smile and agreed with the words of his two brothers-in-law.
I secretly complained in my heart: "Two brothers-in-law, stop taking pictures. If you take pictures of your good brother-in-law again, I will kill you!"
During the conversation between three people.
Chai Xueying had a grateful smile on her face. She held a box in her hands, walked up to Wang, and opened the box directly.
"Sister-in-law, please keep these fifty taels of gold."
Wang looked at the fifty glittering gold ingots and swallowed subconsciously.
As if she were dreaming and everything was unreal, she subconsciously said:
"Really give it to me?"
puff!
The people around couldn't help laughing at Wang's cute and silly look.
"It's really for you!" Chai Xueying put the box directly in Wang's hands without saying anything.
The heavy feeling and the golden color of gold woke Wang up from her dream, and an embarrassed look appeared on her face.
"Third sister, I, your sister-in-law, didn't mean to target you when I said that just now."
"I, I'm just mad at your elder brother. He never cares about me and ignores me!"
Chai Xueying opened her arms, hugged her sister-in-law who had worked so hard to run the family for many years, and said softly:
"Sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I know it's not easy for you. I have found a good husband. Our family will never be short of money again."
Tears of understanding welled up in Wang's eyes. She put down the gold, opened her arms, and hugged Chai Xueying in her arms as well.
"Sanniang is back!" A deep voice, filled with joy, rang out from the main hall door.
The elegant and refined Duke Huo Chai Shao, wearing a dark purple round-necked robe, walked in with a smile on his face.
When he saw the gold, stone and jade artifacts displayed in the house, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"My son-in-law greets his father-in-law! These things..."
Fang Yiyi quickly stepped forward and explained what happened.
At the same time, he took out the contract for the 20% coal mine that he had prepared without telling Chai Xueying, and presented it to Chai Shao with both hands, saying earnestly:
"I was able to marry the beautiful, gentle and virtuous princess, not only because of her own excellence, but also because of the Yue family's teaching of Xueying."
"I am extremely grateful and have no words to express it. I dare to take these yellow and white things to show my gratitude. I hope my father-in-law will not despise it."
Chai Shao was originally worried that Sanniang would have a hard and unhappy life.
But now, the son-in-law with such a bad reputation actually gave such a big gift to Yue's family. It goes without saying that this son-in-law holds his daughter in the palm of his hand and keeps her in his heart.
All the worries in his heart and the thoughts of scolding his son-in-law disappeared, leaving only relief and peace of mind.
Chai Xueying had a rough understanding of the value of the 20% coal mine. It was an unimaginable fortune, and she wanted to refuse.
But as the daughter of the Chai family, she absolutely could not speak and could only anxiously wink at her grandfather.
When Chai Shao glanced at Chai Xueying, he knew that this was Fang Yiyi's own decision.
He was decisive and took the contract without hesitation, and said with a hearty smile:
"Okay, okay, we are family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. I would be disrespectful to refuse your kindness."
But the next sentence changes the subject.
"Come, Xueying, keep it for Grandpa. If the mansion needs money, ask your sister-in-law to ask you for it!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Chapter 60: The Wife's Peace of Mind Makes the Family Peaceful
Chai Shao's Tai Chi moves were smooth and mellow.
This made Chai Xueying, who was originally anxious, smile and took it, which made Fang Yiyi dumbfounded. He thought to himself that the old ones are still the best.
The Chai brothers and sister-in-law were not angry, they all happily approved of their grandfather's behavior.
Chai Shao didn't give Fang Yiyi a chance to speak and directly took him to eat.
During the banquet, everyone was laughing and chatting happily, clinking glasses and having a great time.
Fang Yiyi had always been cautious. He used the excuse of going to the toilet and asked Chai Zhewei's son Chai Dazhi to lead the way. On the way, he coaxed this cute little nephew into signing the contract.
When the Chai family found out about this, they had no choice but to accept the incident, and at the same time they had a better impression of Fang Yiyi.
......
The next morning.
Two quarters past midnight.
The biological clock engraved in his soul allows Fang Yiyi to wake up on time.
He got out of bed quietly, looked at his beloved who was drinking heavily and sleeping soundly at her parents' home, smiled gently, and went out for exercise.
The fluttering of the butterfly wings still made Fang Yiyi feel extremely upset.
Fortunately, I have the nourishing medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and I have also been able to adapt through exercise over the past few days.
Fang Yiyi's push-ups have improved from doing one before lying down to doing three before lying down, which is a great improvement.
After ten butterflies flapped their wings, Fang Yiyi, who was already sweating profusely, began to jog.
The heavy breathing pulled by the bellows sounded like thunder in Chai Xueying's quiet courtyard.
The five-year-old nephew Chai Dazhi, who was as cute as a porcelain doll with a chubby little face, poked his head out from the courtyard gate. His bright eyes curiously looked at his uncle who looked like he was about to die at any moment.
Fang Yiyi, who was immersed in running, suddenly saw someone at the door and subconsciously took a defensive posture.
He stood with his feet in a figure eight stance, bent over and holding his fists, his eyes filled with ferocity, but it was his frail body that made him look like a skinny dog standing up.
