"I know you are thick-skinned but I didn't know you could be this thick-skinned. You go out and peddle your wares, and you act like a brothel owner, pulling people around and saying you did nothing wrong? You are simply bringing shame to the Lian family!" Mrs. Lian said.
The old lady even looked at Xie Yunjiao with an expression of surprise, without her usual pleasant expression.
The light in Lian Yan's eyes flickered, and he seemed unhappy.
Mrs. Lian Er, who has always been a fence-sitter, felt that Xie Yunjiao was bound to fall this time, so she didn't dare to get involved and quickly lowered her head to avoid Xie Yunjiao's sight.
It was as if she were no longer there by doing this.
She was not afraid that Xie Yunjiao would talk about her later. After all, her status in the Lian family was not high, and she could not help Xie Yunjiao in any way.
"Aunt Qiao, have you ever been a brothel owner? Why do you know so well that I'm doing that kind of business?" Xie Yunjiao suddenly said.
Mrs. Lian Er couldn't help but burst out laughing. Mrs. Lian had a very miserable birth. Later, she took advantage of Lian Yan's drunkenness and climbed into his bed to get pregnant with his child.
Lian Qi's mother was so angry that she sold Mrs. Lian to a brothel. Later, it was Mrs. Lian's mother who said that Mrs. Lian was pregnant with Lian's child, so she asked Lian Yan to take her back.
Later, Lian Qi's mother's health deteriorated and she passed away because she could not bear it any longer.
Mrs. Lian threatened Lian Yan to marry her with the unborn baby. Lian Qi was the first to disagree, which led to his running away from home.
Did Mrs. Lian know how the madam solicited customers? She had been to a brothel before.
This is Mrs. Lian's taboo. Anyone who dares to mention it in front of her will die!
Xie Yunjiao dared to pull out the tiger's whiskers just after returning. She was simply courting death!
"What are you laughing at? Is it funny?" Mrs. Lian glared at Mrs. Lian Er angrily.
Even the Second Wife couldn't hold back her laughter, there was nothing she could do.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it. I was...ah! A pig! Help, why is there a pig here?" Mrs. Lian Er looked down and saw a little pig appear in front of her. She was so scared that her eyes turned black and she almost fainted.
Everyone was interrupted by her and forgot about Xie Yunjiao, and looked in her direction.
Coax...
What a pig!
"Don't panic, don't scare it, it's timid." Xie Yunjiao came to Mrs. Lian Er, bent her arm and took the piglet into her arms, "Xiao Xiaobao, why did you sneak out?"
Xie Yunjiao looked at Doudou, who gave her a look as if she had done something wrong: "Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault for secretly bringing it out."
Doudou liked Dabao and Xiaobao very much, but Dabao and Xiaobao were too big to be carried in the carriage at all, so Xie Yunjiao picked out a weaned piglet about a month old from the pig farm for him to take out.
Normally he was kept in his own room, but today he was brought out and made such a big noise.
"You have to keep a close eye on it in the future. It's so timid. If it gets scared, it will run around everywhere and you won't be able to catch it even if you want to," said Xie Yunjiao.
Doudou hugged Xiao Xiaobao tightly and nodded: "I'll take it back to the room now."
"Wait a minute, we can't raise pigs at home. If people find out..."
Before Mrs. Lian could finish her words, Xie Yunjiao interrupted her: "It's just a little pig, can't Aunt Qiao tolerate it?
I know you don't like us coming back, so I've tried my best to avoid meeting you, but you're still so aggressive. Although we really have nothing to do with you, we, Lian Qi, Lian Jin, and Dou Dou, all have Lian family blood flowing in our veins. Isn't it normal for them to come back and live there?
I didn't steal or rob, I just went out to earn money, and this is embarrassing for you? If so, then I will just not do it. I heard that Aunt Qiao also has several shops, as well as a farm in the suburbs. If Aunt Qiao can't accommodate my shop, then shouldn't I close my own shop as well? "
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who doesn't have a few shops?" Mrs. Lian said unhappily.
If she lost those shops, how would she live in the future?
Moreover, she was planning to give part of those shops and farms to Lian Yiyi as a dowry, so how could she just stop?
"Sister-in-law, mother's shop is rented out to collect rent, and your..." Lian Yiyi looked at Xie Yunjiao hesitantly.
"What about mine? I opened a shop to earn money and make life better for my family. Is that wrong? There doesn't seem to be any law in our Kyushu Kingdom that says the relatives of officials can't own and run a shop, right?"
"Stop arguing. We just have a meal together on the first and fifteenth of every month. Is it that difficult? If it is really that difficult, then don't come out in the future. Our family can still eat well." Lian Yan said in a cold voice.
Mrs. Lian's body went limp and she almost fell backwards. She looked at Lian Yan with red eyes and said bitterly, "Master, until now, don't you still treat me as a family member?"
She had been with Lian Yan for many years and had even given birth to Lian Yiyi for him. Yet, he had excluded her from the family. How could she not be disappointed and hate him?
Lian Yan glanced at her indifferently: "I never said that, but if you insist on causing trouble and destroying the harmony of the family, I can treat you as an outsider."
"Dad, that's not what Mom meant. You misunderstood," Lian Yiyi said.
She was afraid that Mrs. Lian would say something to irritate Lian Yan. If Lian Yan divorced Mrs. Lian in a fit of rage, her status would be in an awkward position, and it would be difficult for her to marry into a good family in the future.
She originally wanted to take this opportunity to kick Xie Yunjiao out, but her idea didn't seem to work.
Maybe Dad felt too guilty towards Lian Qi, so he was tolerant for a while.
She had to advise her mother to be careful, because people like Xie Yunjiao were not as easy to deal with as Mrs. Lian Er.
Lian Yiyi looked at Mrs. Lian, and Mrs. Lian understood what she meant.
"Yes, sir, I also want to do this for the good of this family. I have no other intentions." Mrs. Lian said.
"Yunjiao, it's not that we don't allow you to go out and do business, but after all, our Lian family has a certain status, so you still have to be careful." said Old Mrs. Lian.
"Grandma, I'll pay attention."
"If there is nothing else, let's eat. Everyone is hungry." said the old lady.
After dinner, the old lady Lian said that she wanted to hold a banquet and invite some acquaintances to her home.
Mrs. Lian told Mrs. Lian not to worry, she would take care of it.
In fact, Mrs. Lian knew in her heart that the reason why Mrs. Lian held the banquet at this time was simply to tell everyone the news that Lian Qi had returned.
But the incident of Xie Yunjiao flirting with a rich and noble lady just happened, and she was so eager to hold a banquet for Xie Yunjiao and the others. Wasn't she afraid that people would recognize Xie Yunjiao and laugh at them?
