Chapter 435 It’s good to know how to repent
Mrs. Feng sat on the chair and said solemnly, "It’s good that you are willing to speak up. We are a family living together, and we are afraid that someone will hide
something!" "Tell me, what happened during the days we were away from home."
Sun Chunxue twisted her fingers, knowing that she could not escape her mother's eyes.
She dared not hide it anymore, "Mother, blame me for being confused..."
"A few days ago, after the news of Laicheng's great victory was reported back to Beijing, some officials came to our house and brought a lot of gifts to curry favor with us."
"Then..." Sun Chunxue's head almost drooped to her chest, and she became more and more embarrassed as she spoke, "Then I saw that those gifts were indeed expensive, and it would be a pity to refuse them, so I decided on my own... and accepted them all."
Mrs. Feng frowned.
Sure enough, the thing she was most worried about came.
The Jiang family was born in a peasant family, and now they are in this world of fame and fortune. They are afraid that they will be blinded by money and do something irresponsible.
Feng had warned the whole family earlier that no one was allowed to take advantage of Nuobao to accept some yellow and white things of unknown origin.
But the eldest daughter-in-law was short-sighted, and she couldn't stand it when someone gave her some good things.
Seeing her mother's unhappy face, Sun Chunxue blushed and argued, "Mom, at that time I just thought that it was something delivered to the door, and I would not refuse it, so I forgot your words for a while."
Feng was clear-headed and could see that Sun Chunxue had other thoughts.
After returning home, she checked the warehouse, and there was no such gifts in it.
The things are still in the eldest brother's room, which means that the eldest brother's wife probably wants to steal them for herself.
Feng lowered her voice, "You say you don't want it for free, but there is no such thing as free in the world? Don't you know that free things are the hardest to get? Those generous gifts are all to exchange for our Nuobao's favor!"
Hearing the mother's high-pitched voice, little Nuobao and his two brothers lay down at the door and looked inside.
The three little heads overlapped and swayed, eating the melons vigorously.
Sun Chunxue looked flustered, "Ah? Mother, what should we do? Am I causing trouble for our family and Nuobao?"
Although she was greedy for a moment, she would never dare to cause trouble for the family.
Feng thought for a moment, waved her hand and sighed, "Well, when the enemy was in front of us, our Nuobao worked hard, but these officials were enjoying wealth at home. It is reasonable for them to spend some money to honor our Nuobao."
"It's just." Feng looked at Sun Chunxue with a burning gaze, "Those properties were sent to our family for Nuobao's sake. Except Nuobao, no one in our family has the right to take them privately. My eldest daughter-in-law, you have to understand this."
Sun Chunxue's little thoughts were seen through.
Her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.
She dug her fingers into her palms, her eyes red, "Mother, it's my fault for being too greedy. I saw such a beautiful thing and couldn't stop myself. I thought that I would give it all to Dong Ge'er for the future."
Mrs. Feng shook her head, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our family has not split up. With Nuobao as such a good aunt, will Dong Ge'er lack these things in the future?"
"On the contrary, if you cause trouble in the family because of this matter, you will not consider Dong Ge'er." Mrs. Feng's tone was heavier. When
Sun Chunxue heard this, she regretted it so much that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
If Nuobao knew, what would he think of her as his sister-in-law?
Wouldn't this just cause chaos in the family?
She couldn't help crying and her clothes were almost crumpled.
Feng pinched her brows and sighed again, knowing that although Sun Chunxue had little knowledge, her character was not bad.
Originally, when she was at home, this daughter-in-law was the most useless.
Now that they have arrived in Beijing, the second son and his wife have to set up their own business, the third son is an uncle, and only the eldest son and his wife are the most idle. It is inevitable that Sun Chunxue feels uneasy. After all,
the family lives together, but if they are not on the same side, they will feel separated.
Feng thought about it, and this gave her peace of mind. She
had to let the eldest son's wife feel her value at home, so that she could live with peace of mind.
"This is the only time this has happened. If you do it again, don't blame me for sending you back to Dalui Village!"
"I know, mother..."
After giving them the "stick", Feng suddenly took out the "dates", "I have something else to discuss with you."
"Now that you are older, it's time for you to be independent, and I want to take a break."
Feng's voice softened, "So I've thought about it. From now on, our farm and food and accommodation will be handed over to you two and the second brother and his wife respectively."
"As for the money we earn, half will go to our family, and the other half will be kept in your hands, so that you can have a small treasury and live more conveniently."
This arrangement will also allow them to experience more things, so that they can support the family in the future and provide support for their sister.
Sun Chunxue raised her eyes quickly.
"What mother means is that no matter how much or how little we earn from our farm, my eldest brother and I can take half?"
The restaurant has not yet opened, so it may not earn much.
But the farm's harvest is guaranteed. In a year, it can earn at least a thousand taels!
Sun Chunxue felt guilty. She thought that the second son's wife was smart, and even if mother wanted to divide it, she would favor the second son and his family.
But she never thought that mother would divide the farm between her and the eldest brother. Thinking of her previous selfishness, Sun Chunxue felt even more embarrassed.
Feng nodded decisively, "It's settled. Mother will tell them later."
Sun Chunxue bit her lip for a long time and didn't say anything.
When Feng pulled her up, she wiped her eyes, ran back to her room, and took out all the gifts hidden in the cabinet, leaving nothing behind.
"Mother, these are the gifts from those people, they are all here, please put them in the storeroom." Sun Chunxue's eyes were swollen.
Feng opened them and took a rough look, they were nothing more than jewelry, porcelain, pearls and stones.
"Go and call Nuobao, even if mother is in charge, these things must be reviewed by her first before we can make any arrangements." Feng deliberately emphasized that Nuobao was the most important person in this family.
When little Nuobao heard this, he ran into the house with a happy step.
However, she did not mind her eldest sister-in-law's affairs, and comforted Feng, "Mom, write down the names of the people who gave gifts in the list, and we will find an opportunity to return them gifts of similar quality later, that's all~"
After selecting for a while, Xiao Nuobao waved her hand and generously distributed these treasures.
"This hairpin is so green, give it to mother!"
"This pair of purple pearls is so round, make earrings for the eldest sister-in-law~" "
The sweet white glaze porcelain vase is for the second sister-in-law~"
"And this one and this one!"
Xiao Nuobao distributed them all, and finally the whole family, including Madam Zheng, each got a share, which was considered to resolve the embarrassment of the eldest sister-in-law.
Although she was a little greedy, the family was together, and life was harmonious, which was much more important than material things.
Sun Chunxue's nose felt sore, and she was about to cry while hugging her, "I hope Nuobao is not angry with sister-in-law, and even shares things with sister-in-law. I am the only one in the family who is not sensible."
Seeing that sister-in-law's snot and tears were about to rub against her, little Nuobao quickly stuck out her tongue and dodged away.
She couldn't stand sensational things!
