The former sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "Why is your sister-in-law doing these servants' chores herself? There are maids in the house; you can just tell them to do it."
Xiao Yunying placed the teacups in front of the children one by one and said calmly, "They are washing dishes and boiling water; they have their own chores to do."
"That's because we don't have enough maids. No wonder you asked me for the cost of staying last night. I saw that your family is of modest means, so I couldn't bear it and gave you a full six hundred taels of silver. Now we can buy a few more maids to work, and you won't have to work so hard."
She thought that after she said that, the children, whether they were surprised or angry, would be somewhat emotionally affected.
To everyone's surprise, the people in the room remained calm as ever, some drinking tea, others wiping the tables, and no one showed any unusual expression.
There was nothing they could do, because everyone except her understood Xiao Yunying's personality, so they were naturally not surprised.
She is incredibly generous to people she's close to, but she'll accept money from people she doesn't like.
The amount received was quite substantial, which could both calm my own emotions and upset the other party.
For details, please refer to the previous post by Zuo Lanzhi.
Xiao Yunying winked at Zheng Yunwan, as if to say: See, see, I told you so, she'll definitely tell on me.
Madam Luo looked down on her self-righteous attitude and frowned slightly: "You came uninvited, eating and staying at Yunying's place. What's wrong with giving me some money as a thank you? Stop making a fuss and come with me."
She hadn't expected that her words wouldn't embarrass Xiao Yunying, but instead would make her lose face at the hands of her former mother-in-law, causing her face to turn ugly.
Xiao Yunying deliberately curled the corners of her lips into a smug smile at her former sister-in-law.
What a failed attempt to file a complaint.
Did she think that if she brought this up in front of the Luo family, she would feel ashamed, or that the Luo family would feel ashamed and make her return the silver notes?
It doesn't exist!
Xiao Yunying handed the hot tea to Granny Chang and asked her to take it to Madam Luo. After they all left the reception room, she plopped down on a stool.
She faced the three brothers and asked directly, "Alright, now there are no outsiders..."
She paused for a moment, remembering the woman's identity, and realized that compared to her, she was the outsider.
But she had no intention of changing her mind and continued, "Tell me what you're thinking. Are you still thinking about your birth mother, or do you think I shouldn't have let her live in our house?"
She felt it necessary to understand the children's true thoughts before making appropriate adjustments to her attitude towards her former sister-in-law.
Luo Li tugged at the dog's ears: "I didn't even know my own mother was still alive. I thought she had died a long time ago. My older brothers knew but didn't tell me. I asked several times, but they just gave me vague answers."
Xiao Yunying: ...You can't blame the children for thinking that way. It's all because that person has ignored the children for so many years.
She looked at Luo Chen and Luo Yang: "You know I don't like guessing what other people are thinking. Just say what you think directly, don't worry about anything."
Luo Chen said, "Mother shouldn't have let her move in. She has never shown her face in all these years, and has never even sent anyone to visit us once. Who knows if she came here now because she saw that the Luo family has been exonerated and Father's official position is getting higher and higher, and that she only thought of us, her adopted sons, because there is something to gain."
