Chapter 497 Talent
On her first day as a newlywed, Mrs. Mao served tea to her parents-in-law as a courtesy.
Logically speaking, the mother-in-law would more or less set some rules for the new daughter-in-law on that day, but the old lady did not.
Not only did she not, the old lady also enthusiastically led her to meet the people in the clan, and she was very protective in her words.
"So, in the first few years after you married into the Zhu family, the old lady was kind to you."
"Yes."
Whether a person treats you well or not, you don’t even have to look at what he says or does, you can tell by his eyes.
In the first few years, the old lady's eyes looked at her softly, with some kindness.
Among the five daughters-in-law in the house, she is the only one who is a concubine.
Before she got married, her mother had repeatedly warned her that after she got married, she should talk less in front of her parents-in-law, stand out less, do more, flatter them more, and don't be reluctant to spend money.
My mother said, if you can use money to buy people and win their hearts, use money to do it.
The goal of living a comfortable life is to fight for who can live longer.
She remembered her mother's words and flattered the old lady while throwing money at her.
As her mother said, her life was extremely comfortable at first, and no one among the sisters-in-law dared to look down upon her.
The old lady thinks of her wherever she goes. There must be a lot of things in other rooms in her room, including a real bowl of water.
The attitude of the master is the attitude of the servants. Even the most powerful manager in the house is polite to their room.
"When did it start to change?" Yan Sanhe asked.
when?
Mao remembered it very clearly.
"It's because I was praised more and more by the old lady for my fortune-telling and feng shui. When I gradually surpassed others, the old lady's attitude towards me gradually changed a little."
"In other words, when the bastard started to threaten the legitimate son, the old lady had to turn her elbows in and start protecting her biological son."
Compared with Mao's euphemism, Yan Sanhe's words were so straightforward that it made people sweat.
Mr. Mao bit his back teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Then that means..."
Yan Sanhe's eyes sharpened suddenly, "Did Zhu Xuanjiu go through a lot of twists and turns to become the head of the Zhu family?"
"Miss Yan, only one of the five sons can be the head of the family. There will definitely be some twists and turns in the process."
Mao did not pretend to be secretive and told the truth.
"But what kind of twists and turns have you gone through? If you ask me, I can't tell you. The master will never reveal a word to me, and I don't dare to ask."
"Is it the Zhu family's rules again?"
"Men are yang and women are yin. The Zhu family fortune tellers and feng shui are doing shady things. If a woman gets involved again, the family will be disturbed at best, and it will be a bloody disaster at worst."
Mao: "On the first day I entered the house, when I served tea to the old man, he gave me a serious warning."
Even now, Mrs. Mao clearly remembers every word the old man said to her back then——
As a daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, the most taboo thing is to curb your curiosity, ask what you need to ask, and take care of what you need to do.Those who should not be asked or taken care of should not ask a word or raise a finger.
"The old lady is not very favored by the old lady in her old age."
Mrs. Mao said slowly: "After the old lady fell ill, the old lady didn't even go into her room to have a look. Because of this incident, the old lady was so discouraged that she left after a few months."
Yan Sanhe frowned: "What's the reason?"
Mao: "The old lady wanted to interfere in the affairs of the head of the Zhu family for the sake of her son, but the old lady was disgusted."
"Oh?"
Yan Sanhe breathed lightly, "It seems... the old lady is not willing to let her legitimate son be crushed by a concubine?"
"No one will be willing to compare their hearts to their own." Mao didn't understand before. Now that he has a son and a daughter, he feels deeply when he understands the old lady's heart.
"But talent, to put it bluntly, is God's reward. Who in this world can beat God, don't you think so, Miss Yan?"
Yan Sanhe looked at her quietly, then suddenly his conversation changed.
"The maids in Mr. Zhu's courtyard are very diligent. Is this what Madam is guarding against?"
Mao, who was said to be the center of things, openly admitted it.
"The girl is smart and guessed correctly."
The benefits of being the head of the family are not only taking over the Zhu family's ancestral home and ancestral fields, but also the benefits are invisible.
Mao didn't want to be busy for most of his life, and in the end he would have to give everything up to others.
Why did the old lady end up like this? To put it bluntly, she was too soft-hearted.
If she hadn't sympathized with Aunt Fu;
If she hadn't allowed Aunt Fu to give birth to the master;
If I hadn't been so talented...
This Zhu family belongs to her biological son, and no one can take it away.
A woman who is kind to others is cruel to herself. When it comes to real violence, not to mention cousins, even sisters can turn against each other and turn against each other.
Yan Sanhe: "How is the relationship between the old lady and your master?"
"How do you say that?"
Mao thought for a long time before saying, "It's always separated by one layer."
One is also called "mother" and the other is also called "my son", but to a discerning eye, they are more or less polite and false.
Especially in the later years, for some reason, the old lady was too lazy to even act. Sometimes she would point at the concubine's nose and call him "a wolf-hearted man".
"My master has no temper. When scolded, he would either shut himself up in the study and wipe his tears secretly, or sigh at me. I would put him in my arms, sit with him for a while, and listen to him sigh."
When Mao said this, he suddenly smiled bitterly.
"He recovered on his own, and instead came to persuade me not to argue with the old lady, and to give in to her more. He also said that the old lady was old and confused, but she treated him and Aunt Fu very well in the past. .”
Yan Sanhe: "What disease did the old lady get in the end?"
"First, I caught a little cold on the day of the winter solstice. I fell ill all of a sudden. After the fever subsided, I kept complaining that my heart ached. All the famous doctors from Sijiu City were invited here, and I didn't know how much bitter medicine I took."
Mao recalled: "I was fifty-eight when I left. It happened to be my turn to take care of the sick that day. I slept in the outside room. There was nothing wrong with me at night. I took the medicine and sweated all over and fell asleep.
I woke up the next day and found that there was no movement inside. I put on my clothes and went in to see that the old lady was already hard. "
Having said this, Mao wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
The old lady left in the middle of the night, and none of her four biological sons made it to the end. Within a few days, gossip spread about what she said in the old lady's ear in the middle of the night, which made the old lady angry to death.
"Miss Yan, please comment."
Mao still feels very aggrieved.
"There is a god in my head. I, a woman, must have the courage. Besides, what good is it if I piss her off? Who is the head of the family, and it is not the old lady who has the final say."
Yan Sanhe looked at her quietly.
Listen to the sound.
These words may sound like nothing on the surface, but they have a lot of hidden meaning.
The old lady died suddenly;
Because it was sudden, there were no words left;
Someone blamed Mao for the old lady's death.
