Li Huyu admired Shui Qing to the point of prostration!
In the past, she was always the one who explained things, but today it was her sister-in-law who had been bullying her who explained things, and she felt completely relieved.
Shui Qing is amazing, she even spoke up for her!
She's so kind...
Bai Manshan's expression remained unwavering as he calmly said to Bai Ling, "If you truly care about your sister-in-law and about us, then don't say those things again."
He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was cheering wildly for Shui Qing!
In the past, Hu Yu was always the one being bullied. Whenever he defended her, it only brought more intense attacks from his mother or younger sister.
Ke Huyu is very straightforward, and it's impossible for her to refute herself.
Shui Qing is now like a fairy reincarnated, saving Hu Yu from dire straits and helping Hu Yu out of her predicament!
"Also, we've come here to express our gratitude to your nephew's savior. Without her, there would be no nephew. This is the important matter! I'm sure your parents-in-law will understand if we don't go to your place."
Bai Ling glanced at Shui Qing. She was just a country woman. Why not just give her some money and send her away? Did she expect to repay the favor?
Her elder brother and sister-in-law were overjoyed that her nephew had been saved, as he was their only son. But it was different for her; she still had to bring glory to her family and ancestors... If her nephew were gone...
She immediately stopped the thought and her face changed to one of gratitude. "We should be very grateful. Qian'er is our eldest brother's only bloodline!"
His eyes darted around the spacious and grand courtyard, and he said in a drawn-out tone with envy, "This courtyard is nice. Big Brother is so good to them."
Bai Manshan's expression, which had been calm before, had now turned cold and somber.
He knew his sister's character perfectly well!
Her words implied, both openly and covertly, that Shuiqing's house and courtyard were built with their money.
People can be stupid or bad, but they can't be both stupid and bad.
"Can you use your brain before you speak? You know we've only been here for two days. How can we build more than ten rooms and a big courtyard in just two days?"
Don't you know what kind of thank-you gift you brought last time you came to express your gratitude? Don't you know whether they accepted it or not?
Does this yard have anything to do with our family?
Bai Ling was bluntly criticized by her brother, and her face, covered in thick powder, was still noticeably red.
Her usually kind older brother was genuinely angry and lost his temper, which she hadn't expected.
She stammered in protest, "Brother, that's not what I meant. I was just... just saying it offhand."
Seeing her younger sister's evasive manner, Bai Manshan became even angrier and scolded her, "Whether it's what you mean or not, you know it yourself."
In the years since you married into the Wu family, has your father-in-law been promoted? Has your husband's official position been raised further? How much money do you have left? These are the things you should be concerned about and planning for!
Instead of focusing on your family, on those who have shown you kindness, or even on your own little backyard!
Speaking of the backyard, Bai Ling was filled with grievances again, and cried out, "Brother, you know we are a merchant family and have always been looked down upon by others. The Wu family are officials, and I am already marrying above my station. Of course, I have to give them my dowry to make up for it so that they will respect me."
As for the concubines, mistresses, and maids in my husband's harem, they're all a bunch of vixens. Why should I let them have a good life?!
"The merchants are looked down upon, even though it was the Wu family who took the initiative to propose marriage! They use your money and still look down on you. If you were capable, you wouldn't be controlled by them."
Furthermore, weren't all those women in the backyard taken by your husband one after another? Men are the source. If you don't control your own man and only go around tormenting those forced women, there will only be countless others waiting for you later!
I'm your older brother, so I shouldn't be meddling in your family affairs, but you shouldn't be interfering with me and my sister-in-law either! You can't even manage your own family matters, so how can you offer advice and critiques to me?
