Chapter 64 Dissatisfaction

Ling Chu, "Sister Chu is getting older, and she should have someone by her side to take care of her."

The Second Madam was astonished. The eldest girl had been fostered in a Taoist temple, and the Madam never mentioned her. It was as if there was no such person in the house.

 It can be seen that he does not value this eldest granddaughter.

What's more, as soon as the eldest girl came back, something happened in the mansion. The whole family was imprisoned and even demoted to common people by the minister's mansion.

Although the Mrs. Tai didn’t say anything, based on her understanding of the Mrs. Tai, she must have been very dissatisfied with the eldest lady’s fate.

 But I don’t know why today is unusual.

The house could hardly afford food, but they actually agreed to her raising two maids.

  These elders don’t have maids and women around them, so why can the eldest girl have two.

The second lady looked unhappy and said, "Madam, we can hardly open the pot in the house. The little rice and noodles are not enough for us to eat. Now we have to raise two maids. In a few days, everyone will have to drink from the northwest wind."

Ling Hao was sitting quietly drinking tea, but when he saw Ling Chu frowning, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Second aunt, the eldest sister has been weak since she was a child. She used to live in a Taoist temple and could only be taken care of by Master Xuan Yi. Now that she has returned home, there is always someone around to take care of her. I took on some work at the bookstore today. These two I will be responsible for the maid’s monthly payment.”

 Originally, Ling Hao didn't want to get involved in these internal affairs.

  But this eldest sister grew up in a Taoist temple without even a single relative around her, while he and his other brothers and sisters had a fine life since childhood, so they really owed a lot to this sister.

 I used to live in a Taoist temple and couldn't take care of her. But now that he is by his side, as the eldest brother, he must always find a way to make up for this biological sister.

Ling Chu glanced at this eldest brother in surprise. She really didn't expect that he would help her raise a maid.

Although he was moved in his heart, Ling Chu did not want to accept it.

“Brother, you should keep your money and spend it yourself. I will support my maid by myself.”

“Why, are you worried that my eldest brother doesn’t have enough money? Don’t worry, in addition to copying books for bookstores, I can also write letters for others..."

Ms. Dong was standing aside, frowning, "Brother Hao, why did you take the job yourself without consulting me? Copying books and writing letters is the most nerve-wracking. How can your body and bones bear it?"

Mrs. Tai also had a worried look on her face, "Brother Hao, your mother is right, your body and bones can't bear it, so you should quit your job at the bookstore."

Ling Hao knew that they were worried about his health, but now there was no income in the house. There are so many people in the house, we can't just rely on my eldest sister to support them.

"Grandma, mother, don't worry, I'm sensible. I've been here for so many years, nothing will happen to me."

Seeing that Mrs. Tai was worried, Aunt Wen smiled and said, "As the eldest girl has grown hair, she should have a maid by her side to wait on her. If we meet her later, she can be a dowry maid.

 The eldest young master is still sensible and knows how to feel sorry for the eldest girl. Let brother Wei also copy books with his elder brother, so that he can learn what brotherhood is. "

Seeing that Ling Hao was not dissatisfied, Mrs. Tai frowned and said to Ling Wei, "Since none of you can go to the academy, then copy the books with your elder brother and help him share some of the burden."

 The Second Madam curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but seeing that all the Madams had spoken, she could not object any longer. After glaring at the two maids with dissatisfaction, the second lady's eyes suddenly lit up.

She thought it was wrong. There were no maids in the house. Now the eldest girl bought two, so that they could do all the work in the house, so that she would not have to do the washing and cooking.

The second lady swept away her previous dissatisfaction and said with a smile, "Since the eldest young master and the third young master are both copying books, let Luo Geer copy with them."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, the Second Madam disagreed, "I thought it was wrong before, but now there are no maids in the house, so it's just right for the eldest daughter to buy two maids. All the meals these days are cooked by the hired maids. Sister-in-law, it's better to resign the mother-in-law, and you can save some money.

From now on, let these two maids be responsible for cooking, washing, and cleaning the yard..."

Ling Chu smiled sarcastically. She was also surprised that the second lady suddenly changed her mind. She was originally waiting here.

"Second Aunt, did you not hear clearly just now? These two maids are just my maids. They only need to serve me. As for the tasks you just mentioned, it is not their turn to do them."

“Girl, you can’t say that. Since these two maids are supported by your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother copying books, how can they be counted as your maids?

 Besides, there are no servants in the house now. If these two maids don’t do the cooking, washing, and cleaning the yard, who will do it? "

The second lady spoke plausibly, and the others listened silently without any objection.

Ling Chu sneered in his heart. If she agreed to let these two maids do all the work in the house today, she didn't know how she would make further progress in the future.

The maid she bought with money was not to serve this large family.

"I will take care of my maids myself. As for cooking, washing, and cleaning the yard, the second aunt can buy a few maids and women to do them."

Being rebutted by Ling Chu in public, the second lady looked annoyed, "Miss, you only let two maids serve you. Could it be that you don't even care about your wife?"

Ling Chu was not annoyed, but said slowly and authentically, "Second aunt, shouldn't it be your daughter-in-law's job to serve grandma? If you just leave it alone, whoever doesn't know, will think that grandma has done something outrageous. The daughters-in-law were so dissatisfied that they ignored their mother-in-law."

The second lady was speechless and almost got heartbroken by Ling Chu's words.

Ling Chu raised the corners of his lips and continued to speak slowly, "Now there is no income in the house. My eldest brother, second brother and third brother all know that they have to copy books to support the family. As an elder, the second aunt can't do nothing, right? In the kitchen Each of the three houses takes turns doing chores such as cleaning the yard and doing laundry. "

"Although my father, second uncle, and third uncle are no longer officials, they can find ways to do some small business, or find jobs in academies, teahouses, and restaurants. As for the second and third sisters, haven't they all learned to be female celebrities? If you sell some needlework, you can make some money."

Ling Chu glanced at the silent crowd and continued, "In the open space in each yard, you can also grow some fruits and vegetables. You can eat them, and you can sell the excess..."

The second lady’s face turned darker and darker as she listened, “Grow fruits and vegetables, how much can you sell for them…”

Lingchu sneered, "Fruits and vegetables are indeed not valuable, but money trees are. Second aunt, why don't you plant more money trees, so that third brother and the others don't have to work hard to copy books to support the family."

 The Second Madam was squeezed, her face looked like a colorful palette.

Lingchu: Dear readers, I don’t have any seeds for the money tree. Can you reward me with a few tickets?
