Watching Mother Chen carrying Jin Cai out, Liu shook her head helplessly, "This Mother Chen is just like that. Why is she arguing with a little girl when she's old?" Liu had a good temper. Besides, Jin Cai was only fifteen or sixteen, a generation younger than her. She felt that she was still a child and shouldn't have made any mistakes.
Shen Qingqiu held up her rabbit woodcarving and shook her head. With such a soft-hearted master, how could Chen Ma not be tough? "Qiu'er, I see your cousin and his family sold their land in their hometown and came here. I have an idea. Can you help me make a decision?" Although Shen Qingqiu was young, after spending so much time together, Liu Shi had no opinion, and she was the one who took care of things in the house.
Shen Qingqiu could guess what her mother was thinking, "Mom wants to help my cousin uncle buy a home nearby--" She didn't object to this, after all, people judge by appearance, just like Yang Xiucai, who looked honest at first glance.
Shen Qingqiu offered a helping hand if he could, "But you'd better discuss this with your cousin uncle."
"This..." Liu was stunned. "Of course, women make the decisions in this room. I will definitely ask your cousin's mother. Besides, you know your uncle after you meet him. He is conservative and will not agree."
Shen Qingqiu thought of Li Qiumei's eyes that had been darting around since she entered the house. In two lifetimes, she had never made a mistake in judging people. How could an honest man like Yang Xiucai control a woman like this who suddenly became rich? "I think her eyes are exactly like Jin Cai's. She is not someone who is content with the status quo."
Liu and her sister-in-law Li Qiumei had hardly met, but she was soft-hearted. "What do children know? I think your cousin's mother and uncle are very nice. You grew up in the Shen family, how do you know? Many girls in the countryside are like that. When I first came to the Shen family, I was also shocked by the wealth and honor."
Seeing that Liu didn't believe it, Shen Qingqiu didn't say anything. He turned around and jumped to the side to get his whip.
"Why are you cracking the whip again? It's already night time and you're sweating all over!"
What could she do with such a soft-hearted mother? Liu treated her well, Shen Qingqiu didn't want to twist her mind, so he could only become stronger himself.
"After practice, ask Mother Chen to boil some water so I can take a bath." After saying this, Shen Qingqiu went to the yard and started practicing.
On the other side, Li Qiumei and Yang Xiucai also arrived at the guest room.
At this time, the maids in his son's courtyard had already been subdued by Shen Qingqiu. Even though they could see that the two were not wealthy people, they still bowed their heads and asked respectfully: "What else do you want to say? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Li Qiumei glanced at the furnishings in the room and her eyes widened.
No matter how low Liu's status in the Shen family was, she was still an official concubine, and her life was naturally much better than that of a peasant family. Moreover, Shen Bin had sent people to send her good things these days. Li Qiumei pinched her palms to prevent herself from exclaiming and losing face in front of others.
Imitating the behavior of those wealthy families, "No more instructions, you can go out."
As soon as the maid left, Li Qiumei could no longer hold back and ran to the bedside to touch the quilt. "Look, the quilt cover is made of silk and the cotton inside is also new. I can tell it by just touching it!" She then looked at the sourwood furniture in the room and the step-out bed and sighed, "My God, she really lives in a rich and luxurious nest."
Yang Xiucai's brows relaxed after listening to this. He had a good relationship with Liu, so naturally he hoped that she lived a good life.
Seeing her husband like this, Li Qiumei approached him and asked tentatively, "You said that my sister is so rich now, and the master of the Shen family is an official, how about asking her to help us?"
