Chapter 28 Why is the Third Brother's Words Strange?
In an instant, a pig-headed face appeared in front of everyone.
In particular, the woman’s shoe prints were particularly conspicuous, running through Chu Renjie’s left and right face.
Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment.
It turns out that wearing a face mask is not just a new trend among the literary circles.
It’s just that Chu Lao Er was beaten into a pig-like shape by Chu Mu, and the scarf on his face was used to cover his shame.
Chu Renjie glared at Chu Mu fiercely.
"I have a poetry banquet to attend tonight. How can I go out to attend it? And I'm a scholar. Paper, ink, and brush don't cost money? Socializing doesn't require money. Even small gatherings between friends cost money. If Shen reduces my expenses, won't that just make me look bad in front of all my friends?"
Chu Mu subconsciously retorted after hearing this:
"Brother, the family has always provided you with pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. If you can't come up with the money for social interactions and small gatherings with friends, shouldn't you ask your sister-in-law for it? Don't you know where the money from the public treasury comes from? Doesn't your sister-in-law have a dowry?"
Chu Renjie was speechless after being confronted by Chu Mu.
If he dared to say that he didn't know where the public money came from, this little whore would definitely say something even more embarrassing to him.
He threw his sleeves in anger.
It would have been better if he hadn't swung it, as the overly wide sleeves brushed across his own red and swollen face.
Chu Renjie's screams like a pig being slaughtered were instantly heard in the hall.
“Ouch… my face…”
Shen Zhao suppressed his smile and looked at Chu Mu with admiration.
Good job, you blockhead.
This blow was no less severe than the one he gave Pang Yunjin.
However, Elmhead has always respected his second brother, who is a gentleman but a villain, the most.
How could you bear to hit him today?
"Oh, master, how come your face was beaten like this by your sister-in-law? How could a sister-in-law beat her uncles in this world?" The second wife wailed immediately when she saw Chu Renjie being humiliated. She was not as stupid as Shen, and no one could think of taking her dowry.
The old lady looked at Chu Renjie with a distressed look on her face.
The look he gave Chu Mu was like poison. She had married into the Chu family, so her things belonged to them. No one in the Chu family could use them. "Shen, kneel down before me. I'm still alive. You're going to make a big fuss. Not only did you embezzle the expenses of the House of Representatives for personal gain, but now you even dare to hit your second brother. If I don't teach you a lesson today, how can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Chu family?"
This little bitch, how dare she.
How dare she hit Renjie!
Chu Mu was frightened by the old lady's gaze. He had never seen his mother look like this before.
And didn’t his mother ask him why he hit his second brother?
My mother has always been clear about right and wrong and never favors her relatives.
His mother had taught him many times that although Ah Zhao was his wife, as her husband he should not side with her if she did something wrong.
Convince people with reason.
But when he beat his second brother, his mother didn't even ask any questions and just assumed it was his fault.
Also, he had already explained why he wanted to cut spending in each hospital, so why did his mother still accuse him of abusing his power for personal gain?
Wasn't he clear enough?
The reason why he cut spending in each department was because the General's Mansion simply couldn't afford so much money to support the expenses of the mansion!
The money they are using now all belongs to A Zhao!
He calculated that based on the monthly expenditure of twenty taels per courtyard, the general's estate plus his salary would be more than enough.
And you can save a lot of money.
He wanted to calculate how much subsidy Ah Zhao had received, and then use the extra money to slowly return it to Ah Zhao.
Shen Zhao pretended to be serious and imitated Chu Mu's previous way of dealing with things. "Shen, what on earth are you doing? Look at how angry you made your mother.
Are you willing to break up this family? You can beat my second brother, so why did you beat him? If you don't tell the truth today, I will punish you according to the family rules!"
Chu Renjie was stunned. According to the past process, shouldn’t the third brother punish Shen directly now?
Why did you think of asking about the process today?
However, the fact that he could bring up the family rules was enough to show the status of the second brother in the heart of the third brother.
The family rules of their General's Mansion were formulated in accordance with the military regulations of the military camp.
A stick as thick as an adult's arm was actually swung at people.
Today he must see how his hot-tempered sister-in-law begs for mercy.
Shen Zhao looked at Chu Renjie soothingly, "Second brother, I've wronged you today. I, Chu Mu, hereby declare that I will not side with Shen just because she is my wife. No matter who is wrong today, they will be punished according to the family rules without any leniency."
Based on her understanding of Chu Mu, Chu Mu would not have hit him if Chu Renjie had not crossed his bottom line and done something unforgivable.
Chu Renjie suddenly looked up at Shen Zhao. Why did the third brother's words sound so wrong to him?
But I can't tell what's wrong.
It just feels weird.
Chu Mu was embarrassed and didn't know how to start.
Although the second brother did something wrong, he shouldn't have any bad intentions towards Ah Zhao.
But he also taught his second brother a lesson.
If I reveal my second brother’s secret in front of everyone.
The second brother is very concerned about his reputation, so how will he behave in front of others in the future?
Chu Mu didn't say anything, and Shen Zhao didn't rush to ask for punishment.
She knew what Chu Mu was thinking. He was simply worried about the harm that this matter would cause to his second brother.
This is also why she is extremely disappointed with Chu Mu.
He always fails to distinguish right from wrong and always helps the evil.
She knew the character of these people.
The more Chu Mu tolerates these people, the more they will become unreasonable.
When the second lady saw Chu Mu remained silent, she cried even more aggrievedly.
"Third brother, your sister-in-law hit your second brother for no reason. Your second brother is a scholar and he cares about his reputation the most. His face will not heal after being beaten like this by your sister-in-law. If you don't give our second branch an explanation, we will not accept it."
Chen Zhao looked at the Second Madam leisurely, "What explanation does Second Madam want?"
The Second Madam rolled her eyes, covered her face with a handkerchief, and sobbed, "It's not that our Second Branch wants to embarrass Third Brother's wife, it's just that she's been too bullying. First, she beat your Second Brother, and then she cut our Second Branch's expenses. This is to force our Second Branch to leave the General's Mansion."
"Second sister-in-law doesn't ask for anything else, but only that we be allowed to make all the decisions about our second house's expenses from now on, and that Third sister-in-law shouldn't interfere, so that we don't have to look at her face when we need to spend some money."
She had thought about this for a long time. Why could Lin Jiaojiao, a girl who was just staying there temporarily, withdraw money from the mansion's public treasury at will?
The food, clothing and other necessities are all top-notch.
On the contrary, the food, clothing and other expenses of her, the second wife, were not as good as those of a girl who was staying in the mansion temporarily.
Today, the Shen family is determined to cut down on expenses in each hospital.
He even dared to contradict the old lady.
If she hadn't taken this opportunity to propose that she would be the one to decide on the expenses of their second room.
What can you do with just twenty taels of silver a month?
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately responded, "Okay, I'll do as my second sister-in-law says. However, Shen hasn't explained why she beat my second brother yet. I can only give orders after she explains. From now on, the second house's expenses will be decided by the second house itself."
This was proposed by the second branch themselves, and they should make their own decisions on spending.
Chu Renjie frowned. He felt that his third brother's words were strange.
But he couldn't tell why he was to blame. He always felt that his honest third brother had ulterior motives and was setting a trap for him and his wife.
The Second Madam was delighted when she heard this and quickly urged Chu Mudao:
"Third sister-in-law, tell me, why did you hit your second brother for no reason?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
