On the other side of the main house, Third Wife Gao was deep in thought, wanting Lady Gao to take a stroll in the second house. At the same time, Third Wife also had his own plans.
”Mom, just now I saw that brat, Shiro, sneaking around. He was at the back of Second Aunt's house peeking through the window.” And I could hear him swallowing at a distance. I'm guessing, it must be something delicious cooked by Second Aunt's family. ”
The person who spoke was Erlang Tian, Yu Gui. He had been in a messy and slovenly state all day, and his mucus had always hung below his nose. He was too lazy to wipe it off.
The sleeves of his clothes were shiny with oil. Who knew how many times he had smeared snot on them to save them from being starched.
He was already fourteen years old this year, but he was still greedy for food. The Jiang Clan was very worried about their second son's future marriage.
Great Lake Tian was not home today. He could not afford to be idle, and would do anything except work and good things.
They were like stealing chickens and dogs, fighting each other. Recently, they were even tricked into the gambling den, but they became uncontrollable, as if they were possessed.
”Sigh, your dad has nothing to do all day. This has truly caused you all to suffer. It's all your fault, if she didn't split your second aunt's family up, how nice would that be? Now that her family is at ease, your mother and aunt will be quite pitiful. Especially that lazy auntie of yours, all sorts of things like working and hanging on to me. ”
The Jiang Clan began to complain to the children. Their faces revealed a hint of distress. She had just returned from a trip home. Not only did she not borrow any silver coins, she even got a nose full of dust.
The old tutor was a man who valued his son more than his daughter. In his eyes, a married daughter was like pouring out water. How could he still care about borrowing silver from his mother? Having a girl was originally a matter of losing money. If he were to give money to his wife, he wouldn't even think about it.
This time when she returned, her family didn't even leave her a single meal and directly chased her out.
”Mom, now is not the time to talk about this. That brat, Si Lang, is secretly sneaking around. There must be something going on.” Jiro reminded him again.
”Mother knows. If your second uncle's family really had something delicious to eat, then with Shiro's personality, he would have definitely gone back and told his mother.” Once your aunt finds out, she'll definitely go to the second room and cause trouble. We'll just keep an eye on your aunt. If you see her take something out from your second aunt's house, then we'll have to bite off more than we can chew. ”
When Erlang Shen heard this, his eyes lit up. Tian Yufang, who was beside him, did not seem to care and curled her lips.
”Mother, if I had to say so, let's just go to Second Aunt's home.” If we just openly ask them for it, would they dare to not give it to us? ”
She was the only daughter of the Third Branch, Tian Yufang. She was ten years old this year, but the Jiang Clan was already worrying about her marriage.
With her personality, ordinary people wouldn't dare to marry her into their family. Tian Yufang was already used to bullying her second concubine brother and sister. This time, when he heard that the second room was secretly making food, he immediately became angry.
”Yufang, you have to change your personality. You can't just stick your head out and be a gun. If this happens, the things that we get might not belong to us. When the time comes, we might even get into trouble. ”Listen to mom, we'll just keep an eye on your aunt.”
The older the better, the calmer Tian Yufang felt that her mother's words made sense, so she and Erlang and Jiang Zhengkai stayed by the window, staring at the movement in the west wing.
”Achoo, choo!” Tian Yuqiao sneezed a few times and rubbed his nose speechlessly.
”Sis, did you catch a cold?” Tian Yutang asked with a concerned expression.
