"Uncle, aunt, grandma told you not to leave after you finish your work. Go to her room. She has something else to tell you." Zhou said with a wry smile. Things had developed beyond her control, but the old lady had been fooled by her little grandson and had no choice. Even if things couldn't be accomplished, she would just watch the show.

In the past, the people from the second house would go back directly after finishing their work. They didn’t know what had happened, but since the old lady had said so, they couldn’t disobey.

"Mom, you asked us to stay because you have something to tell us?" Han Jincai knew his mother very well. She would not want to see him unless there was something important.

"Nothing, I just haven't been feeling well these days, my waist, back, and body aches, and I need someone to serve me. I think the maidservant next to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is pretty good, so I want her to stay and serve me for a few days."

The old lady thought about it and came up with this idea. She knew that if she let Xiaoxi be the daughter-in-law of her grandson, the second wife might agree, but it would be difficult to convince her to take a concubine. She had no choice but to take this roundabout way and keep the person first. When the matter was settled, the second wife would not be able to agree even if she didn't want to.

Han Jincai's family was stunned by the old lady's sudden move. They thought that today's matter would be over after they finished their work. The old lady was relatively easy to deal with today. She was probably intimidated by the previous incident, so she was quieter than before. They didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and she actually had her eyes on Xiaoxi.

After spending these days together, the people in the second branch of the Han family have a better understanding of the temperament of the fourth daughter-in-law. Although she looks gentle at ordinary times, she is absolutely stubborn and unwilling to compromise when she really cares about things. Why did the old lady want to kill herself and set her sights on Xiaoxi? Although Xiaoxi is a maid, they can see clearly that the fourth daughter-in-law treats Xiaoxi as a sister on weekdays. Naturally, she would not let the old lady keep her. Moreover, Xiaoxi has already redeemed herself. After all, she is no longer a servant. What they say does not count at all.

"Mother, Xiaoxi has redeemed herself. She is no longer the maid of the fourth son's wife, nor is she a servant of our family. We cannot control her." Han Jincai said it more tactfully, but the meaning was very clear. It was impossible for Xiaoxi to stay and serve the old lady. Moreover, seeing the old lady's energetic appearance, it did not look like she had any health problems. It was clearly an excuse.

Yang lowered her head and said nothing. It was not that she was unfilial, but that her mother-in-law was too troublesome. She did not take the people in the second house seriously, and did not even regard her as her daughter-in-law. She had suffered too much at the hands of the old lady, and she would not be so stupid as to stay and be abused by the old lady again. Otherwise, when she heard that her mother-in-law was unwell, she would definitely be willing to stay and take care of her, instead of her current reaction.

"Don't tell me all this nonsense, this is clearly an excuse. If Xiaoxi wasn't a maid, why would she stay with Brother Yu's wife? She's eating for free! I think you guys are making up excuses because you don't want Xiaoxi to stay and serve me. You unfilial people, I'm not asking you to buy me a maid, I just want you to give me a maid for a few days. Do you still have me as your elder in your eyes?"

The old lady would not use any kind tactics towards the second wife's family. She would start scolding them as soon as she was not satisfied, and she scolded Han Jincai harshly.

"Mom, you really misunderstood. You also said that with the conditions of our second branch, we can't even afford to feed ourselves, let alone support servants. Xiaoxi really redeemed herself. The reason she stayed with the fourth son's wife was just out of loyalty. Moreover, her daily expenses were paid by the Su family. Even if we agreed, the Su family would not agree." Han Jincai said half-truthfully. He did it to deal with the old lady, and he also didn't want the old lady and the fourth son's wife to confront each other. Even if the fourth son's wife was smart and could deal with the old lady, he was afraid of getting a bad reputation.

"Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is the young lady of the Su family. As long as she agrees, the maid will definitely listen to Brother Yu's daughter-in-law." The old lady was not fooled by her second son and still grasped the key point. The meaning of her words was clearly that Han Jincai should force her daughter-in-law to compromise.

"Xiaoxi would listen to me, but unfortunately I won't agree. Old lady, you'd better save yourself all these thoughts. I see that you are full of energy and don't look like you need anyone to serve you." Su Wenyue didn't want to embarrass her father-in-law, so she stood up and said, not politely at all.

"You, Su Wenyue, you are the daughter-in-law of my Han family. Don't be so arrogant. You dare not listen to me. Aren't you afraid that I will let Brother Yu divorce you?"

"Old lady, people should respect each other. If you want my young lady to respect you, you have to act like an elder. And it seems that it is not up to you, old lady, to decide whether to divorce or not." Xiaoxi was already unhappy that the old lady had set her sights on her. Now the old lady even wants her son-in-law to divorce the young lady. Such an old woman is really hateful.

"I'm talking to your master, why are you butting in? You don't even know your duty. I'm willing to let you stay and serve me because I think highly of you. You really think you're an important person."

…

"Are you serious?! This bitch actually dared to set her sights on my precious son. She wanted my son to marry a maid. What a good idea! She thought I wouldn't know and they would succeed. Don't even think about it!" Han Wangshi exploded when she heard that the old lady and Zhou were plotting against her son.

"Mother, it's true. I saw my eldest sister-in-law sneaking into grandma's room. I was afraid that she was plotting against us again, so I followed her secretly. I heard everything that my eldest sister-in-law and grandma were talking about. They wanted my third brother to marry the maidservant next to my cousin. When my daughter-in-law heard this, she thought it was too much, so she immediately came to tell you, mother-in-law."

Han Chen said angrily, and it was unknown whether she was really angry or pretending to be angry, but Zhou and she had always been in opposition. No matter what happened, she could not let Zhou succeed, so she immediately came to inform her mother-in-law.

"You're right. Zhou has bad intentions. That old woman is not easy to deal with either. She's helping Zhou to go against us. It's really infuriating!"

"Mother-in-law, now is not the time to be angry. I saw them first called my third brother over, and now they called the people from the second house over. They must be talking about this. We have to go over and stop them. Who are we? We can't really let my third brother marry a maid. Otherwise, it will make people laugh."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Yes, you are right, we have to stop it immediately."
