Chapter 93 You Deserve It
[Speaking of which, it is what Mr. Qiu deserves! 】011 looked like he was laughing at a joke, which really aroused Shen Shixu's curiosity.
I was already wondering why Lord Qiu was being beaten up by his own mother and daughter-in-law, and when I heard 011 say that he deserved it, I became even more curious.
011 did not keep the secret and told the whole story of how Lord Qiu was beaten. [Lord Qiu was beaten because he was too bad at speaking. 】
After hearing 011's evaluation of Qiu Dalian, the other ministers nodded one after another, looking as if they understood it deeply.
[He used to offend his colleagues easily. His words were too harsh and always hurt people's hearts, so he was not very popular.
I thought he was just like that to outsiders, but who knew he was the same to his wife and mother at home.
Mr. Qiu's mother and daughter-in-law did not have a good relationship, but they were not mortal enemies from the beginning.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, and a big part of the reason is that Lord Qiu conveyed the wrong message. It was clearly words from the mother-in-law caring for her daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law respecting her mother-in-law, but everything changed in his mouth.
It was because he couldn't speak that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been at odds for decades, and even after they had a grandson, they still felt awkward looking at each other.
However, this time they were able to know the truth thanks to Mr. Qiu's grandson. The little kid loved the sweet cakes made by Mrs. Qiu and had a plate of them every day, but Mrs. Qiu sprained her wrist the day before yesterday.
Old Madam Qiu was worried that Mrs. Qiu would not be able to resist her grandson's coquetry and would make sweet cakes, which would aggravate the injury on her hand. So she asked Lord Qiu to tell Mrs. Qiu to take care of her health and not force herself to make cakes just because she felt sorry for her grandson, and to let the little kid eat other snacks.
As a result, Lord Qiu turned it into a story that Old Lady Qiu despised Madam Qiu for being useless and even sprained her wrist, causing their little grandson to be unable to eat sweet cakes and only have to eat other snacks. He asked her to recover quickly so that he could make snacks for the child.
When Mrs. Qiu heard this retelling, she immediately became angry and aggrieved. She believed that she had been married to Mr. Qiu for decades, had given birth to children for him, took care of the backyard for him, and was very filial to her mother-in-law. She didn't understand why her mother-in-law had disliked her for decades.
So in a rage he went to confront Old Madam Qiu, and during the confrontation he discovered something was wrong, as if there was a deep misunderstanding between the two of them.
After the conversation, many misunderstandings were resolved, including but not limited to the fact that when Mrs. Qiu was just married and doing her first job as the housekeeper, Old Madam Qiu spoke sarcastically to her, telling her to take good care of the household and not let her decades of hard work go to waste. If things aren't done well, she won't help clean up the mess at her age.
But in fact, what Old Madam Qiu meant was to let Mrs. Qiu go at her own pace and handle everything as she wished, and she would not interfere.
Since we have given her the power of housekeeper, it means we trust her to do a good job. She is old now and she should enjoy her retirement.
Later, Mrs. Qiu gave Mrs. Qiu some headwear as a present. Mrs. Qiu meant for Mrs. Qiu to buy more jewelry for herself. Mrs. Qiu is old and not interested in these things, so there is no need to think about her all the time.
As a result, Lord Qiu relayed the story that Old Madam Qiu looked down upon the jewelry bought by Madam Qiu, and asked her to spend more time on herself and not use those things to please her.
There were also many things, big and small, that happened later. It was obvious that the two of them cared about each other, but after Lord Qiu conveyed that, the meaning changed completely.
Although the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law did not reach a head-on point, their relationship was not very harmonious. It could only be described as a face-saving situation.
Then Old Madam Qiu and Mrs. Qiu realized that it was because Mr. Qiu failed to convey the message effectively that caused the resentment between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law to accumulate for so long. So the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law joined forces for the first time to beat up their stupid son/husband.
So Lord Qiu not only has two panda eyes on his face, but also has bruises all over his body.
If it were any other adult, he would have found an excuse to stay at home and recuperate, but Mr. Qiu is a straightforward person and has never asked for leave, so he came today despite his injury. 】
After hearing what 011 revealed, those officials looked at Mr. Qiu from head to toe with a strange look in their eyes.
This is the first time I've seen such a cruel person who can't stand his wife and mother getting along well. Everyone believes that a harmonious family is the key to success, but Mr. Qiu does the opposite.
Qiu Zongren lowered his head when his colleagues looked at him, and looked carefully to see if there was a crack on the floor of the hall. It would be great if there was a crack, so he could crawl into it and not have to endure the teasing looks of his colleagues.
After listening to what 011 broke, Shen Shixu sighed in his heart, "No wonder Madam Qiu and Old Madam Qiu wanted to beat Mr. Qiu. He really deserves it as you said!"
If he had half the caring attitude of Jin Yi, he wouldn't have been beaten. 】
The ministers didn’t expect that after eating Lord Qiu’s melon, they could eat two more bites of Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi, and they all had smiles on their faces.
Ever since Chen Shixu came into being, they had something to look forward to when they went to court every day. The other day, Chen Shixu was out on business, which made them very worried about him.
I felt uncomfortable all over if I didn't eat melon today.
011 also knew about Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu, and agreed with what Shen Shixu said, "That's right, Mr. Qiu should learn a lot from Brother Xiao.
Brother Xiao is very nice to my brother. He comes to accompany my brother every day, takes my brother to eat delicious food, and always rushes to pay.
I always protect my brother and stand by him. Especially on the way back to Beijing, even though he found a lot of sour and sweet wild fruits, Jiang Bin just refused to give them to him even though he wanted them.
This is my cousin. At that time, my brother was not yet together with Brother Xiao, and they were so good together.
You two are together now, how much dog food will I have to eat in the future? 】
011 sounded very worried when he said that, but the joy in his tone could not be hidden.
After what 011 said, and what Shen Shixu just said, those fox-like officials also understood one thing.
It was true that Xiao Jinyi was attracted to Shen Shixu at first and asked for his hand in marriage, but Shen Shixu did not have any ulterior motives as the rumors said, and was forced to do so.
The two of them were clearly in love with each other, but they were not stupid enough to tell this to anyone. The news that Xiao Jinyi was forcing marriage by relying on his military achievements was widely spread in the capital, so it must have been spread intentionally by someone. They couldn't just tell this to anyone and cause trouble for the person behind it.
I just wanted to mention it to my family when I get home, asking them to be more careful and not say unpleasant things that would annoy others.
After eating the melon, they started to get down to business. The Minister of the Honglu Temple stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the small countries of Beirong, Xidi, Dongwei, and Taidao have sent us letters, saying that they heard about the prince's wedding and wanted to congratulate him.
Some have already arrived at Dagan. Knowing that tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, they have prepared gifts. I wonder if seats will be arranged for them tomorrow? ”
