Chapter 118
Hit me with a stick and give me a sweet date
Zhou Yongchang thought that although planting trees was hard work, not only could he save his life, but he could also have a job in the future and live a better life.
The servants like them who have made serious mistakes, like the eldest lady, are beaten, sent to the government, beaten by the government, and then exiled, even their lives are hard to save.
Even the lighter ones will probably be kicked out. People can easily find out about this kind of experience. From now on, they will not be able to find work outside, and it won’t take long before their lives will be unbearable.
The eldest lady dealt with the servants with true benevolence and righteousness, and Zhou Yongchang also kowtowed gratefully like Mother Yang.
Yu Zongzheng thought about it carefully and realized Yaoyao's good intentions in dealing with it like this. It really showed both kindness and power: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The other servants also felt that the eldest lady was kind and looked at her with admiration in their eyes.
Yang Shuwan watched helplessly as Yu Youyao was selling people's hearts in front of her eyes. She was trembling with anger, but she still had to smile: "Yao Yao's treatment was very appropriate. Just now, my mother was so angry that she said something
To be honest, Mother Yang and Zhou Yongchang are both senior officials in the government, and their friendship is not ordinary. Naturally, they cannot really be sent to the government, otherwise they will treat their servants as if they are our own family."
Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled softly: "I also learned some principles by watching my mother work as a housekeeper. Mother, don't blame me for going beyond my limits."
Didn't you learn this from her? It was clearly someone behind the scenes.
Yang Shuwan felt a stab in her heart and said quickly: "What the hell, I am currently ill. Yaoyao can help the housekeeper, and I can rest in peace and recover from my illness. I am grateful to you before it is too late, so how can I blame you."
Yu Youyao was relieved: "My mother doesn't look well, she must be tired. I'll order someone to find a doctor for my mother and take a look. Mother, please rest!"
Yang Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then took a moment to taste it, her face stiffened again, and she couldn't refuse anymore: "Thank you so much, Yaoyao."
She used her illness to deliberately hand over the housekeeper's key before, but now Yu Youyao's words made it clear that she wanted to use her illness to continue her cultivation.
At this moment, it was impossible for her to take over the housekeeping power from Yu Youyao.
Yu Zongzheng patted Yu Youyao's little shoulder and praised: "Youyao is well-behaved. My father is indeed right about you. You should pay more attention to this family from now on."
These words undoubtedly confirmed Yu Youyao's ability as a housekeeper. Even if Yang Shuwan took good care of her body in the future, she might not easily take back all the housekeeper rights.
Thinking of this, the color on Yang Shuwan's face faded completely, she held Yu Youyao's hand again, and said warmly: "Yaoyao has to go to home school every day, and also learn things with Aunt Xu. It's already very hard, so
I also have to help with the housekeeping because my mother is ill, so Yaoyao has been working hard during this period. When my mother recovers, I will definitely thank Yaoyao."
Yu Youyao said softly: "Mom is being polite, this is what you should be doing."
Yu Zongzheng also realized that it was not appropriate to let Yaoyao be the housekeeper all the time, so he said to Mrs. Yang: "You should take good care of yourself and take good care of your body as soon as possible. You can't let Yaoyao take care of the house alone. There is no way."
It delayed my studies."
Yang Shuwan felt happy when she heard it at first, but when she heard it later, her face stiffened again. What did the master mean? Even though she was in good health, she still wanted Yu Youyao to continue to run the house with her?
How can this be done?
Yang Shuwan couldn't help but wanted to speak.
But Yu Zongzheng has never liked to deal with such mundane affairs in the house. After everything has been taken care of, how can he continue to stay: "I still have something to be busy with in the study, so I will leave first."
After saying that, Yang Shuwan strode away without waiting for her reaction.
Yang Shuwan almost fell down because of anger, but she asked Grandma Li to support her, so she didn't lose her composure on the spot.
Yu Youyao pursed her lips slightly and saluted Yang Shuwan: "Mom is not feeling well, so just take a good rest. There are still some things to be done in the front yard, so my daughter will go there now."
After saying that, without waiting for Yang Shuwan's reaction, she already led the maids and women towards the front yard.
Yang Shuwan watched helplessly as Yu Youyao was surrounded by the servants in the mansion and left like stars over the moon. This scene hurt her eyes and even tore the handkerchief in her hand: "No, this little bitch"
This is
It's crazy, look at her, she's pretending to be like that in front of her father. People who don't know, think she came out of my stomach, but as soon as her father left, she started to talk to her.
Don’t pay attention to me anymore…”
Grandma Li felt numb when she heard this: "Madam, please keep your voice down, this is still outside the main courtyard..."
Yang Shuwan reacted and glanced around, her head was throbbing with pain again. If she had known this, she might as well have stayed in the main courtyard just now, waiting for Yu Youyao to bring Zhou Yongchang and Mama Yang to the door. In her own yard,
No matter what, the past can be covered up.
But now, it is really embarrassing, and it has been thrown into the whole house.
Yang Shuwan complained to Aunt Li: "General, how did you hear the news? I was given another lecture by the master for nothing."
When Grandma Li heard this, she was so frightened that she bowed up and trembled: "Old, when I saw the master, I panicked, fearing that the eldest lady would chew it in front of the master, so I thought
Come back quickly and report to Madam, and Madam will be able to respond in advance, who knows..."
Yang Shuwan was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Why don't you think about it? You spent a lot of time here and there, and Yu Youyao, that bitch, should have chewed what he should have chewed?"
Grandma Li felt very wronged in her heart, but she panicked and admitted her mistake: "It's all my fault."
But she was thinking, how did she know that the eldest gentleman would come to the main courtyard with the eldest lady? Normally, the eldest gentleman would not care about the general affairs in the house.
Even the eldest lady herself didn't expect it, otherwise how could she be so panicked?
Yu Youyao returned to the front yard and ordered someone to call Zhou Yongtian and the other four: "Although the matter of Zhou Yongchang and Yang's mother being greedy for money in the house has nothing to do with you, it is the same for you Zhouzhuang fooling the master's family and failing to take good care of the crops.
thing
If it is true, I will go back and make it clear to the people in the village that the rent will be increased by thirty cents per mu in the future. This season’s crop harvest will be 15% higher than in previous years. If you can’t do it, you won’t be able to do it in the future.
Plant acres in the mansion."
Zhou Yongtian and the others were grateful. The eldest lady’s intention was that they could continue to rent the acres of land in Xiaozhouzhuang. This was worth more than anything else.
Besides, Yu Mansion is still very kind.
Even if something like this happened, the rent was not increased, it was just the same as other families in Beijing. The past few years have been good, and they have taken good care of the crops, so the rent is not considered to them.
Ease means that you can have enough to eat, save some money, live your life, and still have something to look forward to.
