Madam gu was standing in front of her mother and listening to her instructions. Although old madam gu was no longer the head of the family, she was still the head of the family. No matter how big or small the family was, she could not escape her eyes. What's more, madam gu and the mother and daughter of the chen family were completely humiliated in front of everyone. How could she not be angry?
"You' ve been the mistress of the household for many years. Why are you so careless in handling today's matter?" The chen family's daughter had always acted improperly. The lin family's child was injured. If you scold the chen family's daughter, apologize to the lin family's child, seek a doctor to treat his injury, and then send a generous gift to apologize for the chen family. When this news gets out, everyone will praise you for being reasonable and impartial. But now, in order to protect your niece, you have publicly turned the black and white, which is a disgrace! "
"Mother, my daughter-in-law knows she's wrong. At that time, I really didn' t know that xue' er raised the cat and thought it was a wild cat, so ..."
Mrs. Gu tried to explain herself but was interrupted by the heavy tea bowl that madame gu had placed down." It's already this time, yet you still refuse to admit your mistake. That cat of the chen family had been kept for two years. You often went there. How could you not know? You' re just looking at the lin family as a small family, thinking that the gu family and the chen family are very powerful, and even if the lin family were to suffer some grievances, the lin family would not dare to say anything. In this way, they would save their niece's reputation! She didn' t expect madam lin to be so stubborn. "
Mrs. Gu was seen through by her mother-in-law and did not dare to say anything. Old lady gu's eyes were filled with disappointment. In the past three generations, the gu family came from a small family. The lin family had four sons and twelve grandchildren, and that little granddaughter was not a simple child. Who knew if she would rise up in the future? The gu family was not afraid that the lin family would harbor a grudge and take revenge in the future, but having more friends was better than having more enemies.
But this has happened today ...
"Forget it. Now that you' re the director of the household, I' ve said too much. It's as if I' m telling you what to do. I' m making you hate me." "
"Mother is being too harsh. My daughter-in-law does not dare. Madam gu quickly bent over to apologize. She had dared to bully the lin family today and protect her niece, but she did not dare to leave a trace of anger in her mother's heart. Filial piety is bigger than the sky, a daughter-in-law who was said to be unfilial by her mother and mother would be drowned by saliva if she went out.
Seeing her like this, old lady gu's face finally looked much better.
"How about this? You' ll personally go back and apologize to Mrs. Lin and send a generous gift to the lin family. The child was invited to the banquet and was injured in our home. No matter what, it was all our family's fault. "
"Yes, mother, I'll get ready. "
Mrs. Lin bowed and left the room. When she reached the door, her face was so dark that it was almost ink.
Her personal mammy could not help but whisper," madam, Mr. And Mrs. Lin are back. Do you really want to go back and apologize to Mrs. Lin? "
Madam gu snorted coldly, her eyes filled with contempt. Go to the accounting room and collect twenty taels of silver. Send it to the back and tell her that the gu family had treated that lin brat. If it wasn' t enough, just let her know. There was nothing else in the gu family, but not to mention a child caught by a cat, even a hundred of them could be cured. "
The nanny lowered her head and replied, but she guessed that madam must have been scolded by old grandma, and she had more resentment towards the lin family.
Soon, lin dashan and his wife entered the house with their front foot, and the nanny at the back took the money.
Zhou xinxiu had just lit the brazier, and when she saw someone, she was about to welcome her mother into the door. However, mammy was unwilling to even enter the door, so she stood directly in the courtyard and said with a fake smile," Mrs. Lin, our madam said that she misunderstood what happened today and hurt the young master of the lin family. This was twenty taels of silver, which should be used to cure the young master's injury. If that's not enough, you can ask madam ... For it. The gu family doesn' t have anything else, so there are plenty of businesses. Not to mention hurting a child, even a hundred of them can afford to pay for treatment ..."
Before the nanny could finish her sentence, zhou xinxiu's expression changed. However, before she could get angry, the door was kicked open.
Lin dashan walked up to her with a dark face and turned his mother away with a cold face." No need. Our lin family may be poor, but we don' t have the intention to make a fortune out of our child's injury. Go back and tell madam gu that today's matter is now over. It is not fair, and everyone will talk about it later. "
The nanny moved her mouth as if she still wanted to say something, but when she saw that lin dashan and his wife looked as if they were frozen with ice, she did not dare to do so. She bowed and hurried back to the front.
"What a bully! Lin dashan was so angry that he walked all over the courtyard. At last, he called his wife," go back to the house and pack your luggage. Let's move to the shop first." I went to the front with master gu quit work, insisted to the end of the year, tianze found a good gentleman, we go home for the new year. "
"Okay," zhou xinxiu replied immediately. She turned around and began to rummage through the boxes and unpack her few belongings. Previously, she had thought that old madam gu was reasonable and that madam gu was a shrewd and easy-going mistress. She did not want to see her true colors when things happened today. The lin family was poor, but they weren' t able to bully them.
Lin dashan went straight to the study room in the front yard. Master gu had been staying in the front yard because he was entertaining men. He didn' t know what had happened in the backyard and garden. He suddenly heard that lin dashan wanted to quit his job, so he naturally tried his best to persuade him to stay.
"Why did Mr. Lin resign, but there's something wrong with the family, or tian ze's mischievous behavior ..."
"No, Mr. Gu. Tianze is smart and will definitely be on the top of the list in the future. The reason why I quit my job is to admit that I am short of learning. Tianze has been enlightened, so I should change to a more talented man and study further. Second, I also have to do my best to prepare for the big exam, not to be distracted. Therefore, she was going to disappoint master gu's trust. "
Lin dashan's sincerity made master gu reluctant to let her go. He had no choice but to say," then Mr. Gu will teach tianze another two months and I' ll find another gentleman for tian ze in the next two years." "
"Of course. Tianze's class work can' t be delayed. I' ll definitely do my best. Master gu, don' t worry." In addition, my family opened a snack shop in the city, has been short of help, my wife and I are going to move there, usually to help. In the future, I would come directly to the front courtyard every morning to teach tian ze a lesson. After class, I would leave immediately. The gu family did not need to prepare any meals. "
"This ..."
Master gu heard that lin dashan not only wanted to quit his job, but he also wanted to move out. He felt that something was wrong, but he had already agreed to it. It was not good to go back on his words, so he could only force himself not to mention it.
The two of them chatted for a while more before lin dashan left.
Master gu immediately called the butler to inquire. If he said that old lady gu was the head of the gu family, there were countless spies. As a spy, the butler naturally knew better. After all, even the twenty taels of silver were drawn from him.
Master gu heard his tail from head to toe and finally couldn' t hold it in anymore.
"Stupid woman, it's not enough. I thought she was reasonable, so she was so right and wrong. To make a mistake to make amends, she should have taken the money to humiliate the bitter lord. She was really arrogant and rude! "
