Chapter 168 The eldest wife is afraid of leaving
her husband Mu Qinglan was so angry that she just wanted to vent her anger and didn't take a good look at her second son.
Although her second son was lazy and gluttonous, he was also a face-saving person. He always dressed neatly and decently, but now he was wearing a dirty short shirt, his hair was messy and tangled, and he was skinny.
This made Mu Qinglan feel distressed.
But when she thought of the bad things that Yu Er did, she couldn't help spitting: "You are a bad guy, I am disgusted just by looking at you!"
"If you are sick, go home and rest, don't die at the door of Hui Niang's house."
Mu Qinglan cursed harshly, but still mentioned that Yu Wenhai should go home and rest.
Yu Wenhai caught this subtle concern and stood up in a hurry.
"Mom, I really don't want to covet wealth. I know that I was wrong before. You can beat me however you want, but you should also think about your grandson!"
"Tiancai is so young, and he has to suffer with us. Can you bear it?"
Thinking of her grandson Yu Tiancai, the coldness on Mu Qinglan's face eased a lot.
Yu Tiancai is not as lazy as his two lazy parents. He is sweet-mouthed and hardworking. Every time he sees her, he calls her "milk", serves her tea and water, and massages her hands and back.
It's okay for her son to suffer a little, but Tiancai is still so young, how can he endure the hardship.
Mu Qinglan asked, "Where do you live now?"
Yu Wenhai complained, "We live in an abandoned house now."
"Don't look at Wanyue's head full of silver hairpins, but those hairpins are worthless. Everything is expensive now. We have spent all our savings a long time ago. Now we don't even have the money to rent a house, so we can only live in an abandoned house."
"I am glad that you and your son have separated, otherwise I would have to live in an abandoned house with my son and suffer!"
His words were very clever. If someone who didn't know the truth heard it, they would think that he had to separate the family in order to prevent his family from suffering.
Mu Qinglan couldn't help sighing after hearing this. In fact, what the second brother said was right. Those hairpins seemed to be a lot, but if they were really spent, they would be spent in no time.
When the money is all gone, they will still have to live on the streets. It is better to let the second branch hold on for a while longer than to suffer with everyone else.
Yu Laoer's words made Mu Qinglan feel less depressed.
In the royal capital, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Ordinary houses will not be abandoned. Those abandoned houses are either too expensive or unaffordable for ordinary people, so they can only be abandoned.
The other type is where a tragic case of family annihilation occurred. Ordinary people dare not buy such houses, so they are naturally abandoned.
The former are taken care of by pawnbrokers, who will inspect them every few days. Naturally, her second son cannot get in. The place they can live in must be the latter.
Thinking of her grandson Yu Tiancai living in such a place, Mu Qinglan's face was moved, and she pointed to the plaque in front of the door.
"Did you see the two big characters in front of the door?"
Yu Wenhai looked up and saw the two big characters "Gan's House" written on the plaque.
"See, isn't it Gan's House?"
"We are not the owners of the Gan family, but we are just staying here. I need to ask Hui Niang whether you can move in."
Because of the slap just now, Yu Laoer's face was burning. He rubbed his face and said with a grin: "What is there to ask? You are our mother. As long as you say a word, Hui Niang will listen to you obediently."
Mu Qinglan looked at his bear look and was angry from the bottom of her heart: "If you say one more word, you will get out. I don't care whether you are my grandson or not."
Yu Wenhai didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
He remembered that Hui Niang was a filial daughter. As long as she asked, he could enter Gan's house. He had to go home and pack his things as soon as possible.
He thought about this while rubbing his face and going home, and he was still smiling foolishly as he walked.
This Gan's house is so beautiful. The courtyard wall is different from other houses. I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to live in such a beautiful house!
During dinner in the evening, Mu Qinglan looked like she was worried. She opened her mouth several times but didn't say anything. She was hesitant, and it was obvious that she was holding something in her heart.
Gan Tian was anxious.
[Just say it if you have something to say. It's so uncomfortable to hold it in.]
Everyone else was secretly paying attention to Mu Qinglan, waiting for her to speak out herself. Only Pan Niang lowered her head to eat, looking like she didn't care at all.
She stayed in the house all day, and she knew everything that happened in the house. She also knew what the old lady wanted to say.
The old lady was still unwilling to forgive two days ago, but she softened her heart today.
Pan Niang is complaining.
The second son and his wife are used to being lazy and lazy. They are the first to take advantage, and they don’t even see anyone who doesn’t have an advantage. Most of the housework fell on her. Every time the work is done, they jump out to grab the credit.
She is not good at explaining. It’s okay to suffer some losses on weekdays. She can tolerate these harmless little things.
She just can’t forget that day when Cen Wanyue was wearing a head full of silver hairpins on her head, but she was still hesitant and unwilling to see her husband. She
can’t forget that they were avoiding the plague god and making trouble to divide the family.
To the old lady, the eldest and the second son were both her sons, and they were all flesh and blood. Although there was a gap between the brothers, it was okay and there was room for reconciliation.
But to her, she almost lost her husband, and her two children almost lost their father. How could she forgive?
Seeing that everyone had finished their meal and were ready to leave, Mu Qinglan had to speak.
She turned sideways, avoiding Pan Niang's sight, and said to Gan Fanren: "Good son-in-law, you said that day that you would bring your second brother into the house and give him a job. Is that still true?"
Gan Fanren wiped the corner of his lips slowly and elegantly.
"Of course it counts."
"But my business is big, and I deal with princes and nobles. If I don't serve them well, my whole family will be in trouble, so some important tasks cannot be given to my second brother."
"Your second brother is not stable enough, and he is not suitable for important tasks."
Mu Qinglan didn't say anything else, but Gan Fanren already understood what Mu Qinglan meant.
He asked Li Yunfeng to clean up a few quiet rooms, and then took Hui Niang and the children back to their rooms early.
On the way, Hui Niang's brows were tightly knitted.
"What is mother thinking? A few days ago, she said she would never let my second brother enter the house, but today she wants to bring him back."
"I see that my eldest sister-in-law looks unhappy. I'm afraid that mother's behavior will make her distraught."
Gan Fanren has met countless people and had expected this to happen. He was not surprised that Mu Qinglan wanted to bring the second brother's family back.
"After all, my second brother is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. It's normal for me to feel some pain."
"During the meal today, mother didn't dare to look at the eldest wife. I think she will compensate the eldest wife later."
