Chapter 117 Let’s not repay kindness with enmity.
Li Huyu was full of admiration for Shuiqing!
In the past, she was the one who explained things, but today, the one who explained things became her sister-in-law who bullied her. She felt relieved.
Shuiqing was so amazing that she even spoke for her!
She was so nice...
Bai Manshan's expression did not relax at all. He said to Bai Ling calmly, "You really want the best for your sister-in-law and for our couple. Don't say those words just now in the future."
Although he looked calm, he was cheering for Shuiqing in his heart!
In the past, Huyu was always the one who was bullied. Whenever he defended her, he would only attract more fierce attacks from his mother or younger sister.
But Huyu was a straightforward person. It was impossible for her to refute it herself.
Now Shuiqing was like a fairy reincarnated. She saved Huyu from danger and helped Huyu get out of trouble!
"Also, we came here to thank your nephew's lifesaver. Without her, there would be no nephew. This is the main thing, and the most important thing! I believe your parents-in-law will understand that we are not going to your place."
Bai Ling glanced at Shui Qing. She was a country woman. It would be fine if she was given some money to send her off. Would she even threaten to repay the favor?
Her elder brother and sister-in-law were very happy to save her nephew. After all, they only had this one child, but she was different. She still had Guangzong and Yaozu... If her nephew was gone
She immediately stopped thinking about it, and her face turned into a grateful expression, "We should be very grateful. Qian'er is the only blood of our elder brother!"
She looked around the wide and imposing courtyard with her eyes, and said with envy in a long tone: "This courtyard is nice. My elder brother is so good to them."
Bai Manshan's expression was indifferent before, but now it had become cold and gloomy.
He knew his sister's character very well!
What she meant by this was that Shui Qing's house and courtyard were built with their money.
People can be stupid or bad, but they can't be stupid and bad.
"Can you use your brain before you speak? You know we have only been here for two days. How can we build more than ten houses and a large yard in two days?
Last time you came to thank us, didn't you know what gifts you gave us? Don't you know whether they accepted them or not?
Does this yard have anything to do with our family?"
Bai Ling was rudely accused by her brother in person, and her face with thick powder could still be seen with obvious redness.
The always kind elder brother was really angry and furious, which she had never thought of.
She stammered in defense: "Brother, I didn't mean that. I just, just said it casually."
Bai Manshan was even more angry when he saw his sister making excuses, and scolded: "Whether it was that meaning or not, you know it yourself;
Did your father-in-law get promoted in the years since you married into the Wu family? Did your husband get promoted to a higher position? How much money do you have left? These are what you should care about and plan for!
Instead of focusing your attention on your natal family, the benefactors, and even less on your small backyard!"
Speaking of the backyard, Bai Ling felt aggrieved again and cried: "Brother, you also know that we are a merchant family and have always been looked down upon by others. The Wu family is an official family. I am marrying up, so of course I have to give dowry to be looked up to.
As for the concubines, maids and maids in my husband's backyard, they are all a group of vixens. Why should I let them live a good life?!"
"Merchants are looked down upon, and it was the Wu family who took the initiative to marry them! They use your money and still look down on you. If you are a capable person, you should not be controlled by them.
Also, aren't those women in the backyard taken in by your husband one after another? Men are the source. If you don't control your own men and just mess with those forced women, there will be countless waiting for you in the future!
I am your eldest brother, and I shouldn't care about your inner house affairs, but you shouldn't care about me and my sister-in-law! You can't even figure out your own family, how can you guide and comment on me?
And what did you and mother learn? Mother is a concubine, but at least she is respected by my father, can control money, and has ways to make money. Look at what you have learned? "Bai Manshan became more and more angry as he spoke.
Shuiqing listened to it and was very educated.
I really want to pull my two daughters out to listen together.
This idea is the man's real idea, but it is more transparent, and it starts from the perspective of women, summing up the survival wisdom of women that is more suitable for this era!
A life together, let alone in ancient times, even in modern times, few people can do it.
When it is impossible to do it, how to focus on the big and let go of the small, how to make choices, Bai Manshan's words are a real-life teaching.
Bai Ling was about to cry about her difficulties and her husband's lust, but Bai Manshan interrupted her directly: "If it doesn't work, you can divorce and go home!
Your sister-in-law and I will support you. When the time comes, your dowry will be left to your two children, and I will add some more. As long as they don't ruin the family, they will have no worries about food and drink for five generations!"
Bai Ling was panicked when she heard that her elder brother could even bring up the idea of divorce.
After going home with a divorce, she will have to live according to her sister-in-law's mood!
Now she is an official's wife, and everyone flatters her when she goes out, so she doesn't want to go back.
It's even worse to give her husband to that group of enchanting bitches.
She stumbled and said: "I, I can't divorce, I still have children, big brother, I'm going home first, you and sister-in-law can come back when you are free!"
Bai Manshan looked at Bai Ling who was almost running away, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
Shui Qing shook her head and sighed.
If you can't stand up for yourself, how can you expect your husband's family to respect you?
Spiritual independence is more important than financial independence.
What Li Huyu was thinking about was that her sister-in-law always said that she enjoyed happiness in the Bai family. Just now she was talking about how bad her husband's family was, but once she was allowed to go home to enjoy the happiness, she felt that her husband's family could still live well.
Isn't this trampling on her elder brother's good intentions?
If you don't listen to your advice or suggestions, if she complains in the future, who in her family will stand up for her?
Bai Ziqian has never seen his father speak so harshly, but considering that his father's sister is opposite him, his father must be more angry than angry.
Bai Manshan calmed down for a while and returned to his usual friendly appearance.
Facing Shui Qingxiao's eyebrows and eyes, he said politely: "My sister was raised crooked by my mother since she was a child. She is also unable to stand upright. Don't take what she says to heart.
She is her, we are us, and her meaning is completely different from ours. "
"No, I can distinguish right from wrong." Shui Qing replied decisively.
The smile on Bai Manshan's lips widened. When Li Huyu entered the carriage again, the two whipped their horses and left.
On the way, he said quietly to the carriage: "It would be great if Shui Qing were my sister, and you sisters-in-law can also be happy."
"I can't be my sister-in-law, but maybe I can be my in-laws!" Li Huyu thought optimistically.
She likes both Yan Qiu and Xing Hui's children!
Especially my mother-in-law's family is extremely satisfied.
Bai Manshan chuckled: "We merchants smell like copper, so we'd better not retaliate for kindness."
