Chapter 424: You won't change my brother-in-law without telling me, right?
"Second Aunt, where did you get this handkerchief?"
"Where did you get it from?" Zhang raised her eyebrows fiercely and sneered, "How dare you ask! Master, you don't know that your niece is really a good person. She cried poor in front of us and wanted to eat and live for free, but she even used the handkerchief of Ningyue Pavilion. She really knows how to enjoy herself."
The handkerchiefs from Ningyue Pavilion are not cheap, especially this batch of styles. You may not be able to buy them even if you spend money.
I haven't used it yet, but that little bitch Wei Yao actually used it.
If she hadn't secretly gone to her room to look for it, she wouldn't have known!
Wei Yao frowned, "This handkerchief is not mine, it was borrowed from someone else. I have to return it after I wash it. Second Aunt, please return it to me."
Zhang didn't believe Wei Yao's words at all. "What a joke! You eat my food and live in my house. I just took your handkerchief, but you dare to make up a reason to ask me to return it. You are such an ungrateful person!"
"Second Aunt, this handkerchief is definitely not mine, and if I hadn't been desperate when I arrived in the Imperial City, I wouldn't have come to bother you. When I get my monthly salary, I will leave immediately and never bother you and uncle again, you..."
"Oh, you want to take the monthly salary and leave, you have a nice idea!" Zhang interrupted Wei Yao directly, and turned her head to instigate Wei Tongfu, "Master, you heard it clearly, this is your good niece, she is really calculating. When she has no money, she eats and drinks for free, and when she has money, she will leave immediately."
Wei Tongfu frowned and looked at Wei Yao, "A handkerchief can cause so much trouble. After all, she is your aunt. How can you be so fussy about it?"
"Uncle, that's not what I meant. It's just that this handkerchief belongs to someone else after all. It's not right to just give it to Aunt. If Aunt likes it, I can buy it for her when I get my monthly salary..."
"No, I can't afford to use the monthly salary of a lady official to buy things for me."
Wei Yao choked.
Although she had already agreed with Miss Jiang to return her a new handkerchief, the handkerchief was a personal property after all. Even if Miss Jiang didn't want it, she might not be willing to let others use it.
But looking at Zhang's expression, it was clear that she was unwilling to return it to her.
Then look at Wei Tongfu who has a cold face standing aside.
Wei Yao knew very well that although her second uncle did not ridicule her like her second aunt did, Zhang would not have been so aggressive if his attitude had not been obvious.
Wei Yao felt tired and cold in her heart.
"Uncle and aunt, I will always remember your kindness in taking me in. I will slowly pay you back for all the expenses during this period. But this handkerchief belongs to someone else. Whether the other party wants it or not, I have to ask for their opinion. I can't just give it to aunt without knowing it, so... please return it to me."
In the corridor on the second floor, Jiang Mushi was watching this scene with a frown on his face when he suddenly heard the voice of his companions beside him.
"This girl is so stubborn. It's just a handkerchief, but she obviously can't handle it in this situation. She still insists on holding on to it no matter what she does."
Jiang Mushi looked at his companions, shook his head and said, "I think she did a good job. It's obviously her uncle and aunt who are too bullying. How much money can a girl spend on food and accommodation? She is also working for the restaurant and they are relatives. Is it necessary to humiliate her like this?"
"That being said, looking at the situation, I'm afraid that life will be even more difficult after this incident."
"She is still a female official after all."
"I just heard that she was just an eighth-rank female official. The restaurant owner's words were blunt but true. An eighth-rank female official with no power or influence is nothing in this imperial city. If she leaves home, her monthly salary may not be enough to support herself."
His companion's emotional words made Jiang Mushi frown even more tightly.
Downstairs, Zhang had been trying to take advantage of the situation, but when she heard that Wei Yao had the guts to ask for a handkerchief, she got completely furious.
"Okay, since you want to pay me back, then pay me back now and don't wait until later. If you can't pay for food and lodging within three days, get out of here and stop getting in the way!"
"Second Aunt, I didn't do anything in three days..."
"Stop bargaining with me here!"
Wei Yao looked grim and raised her head to look at Wei Tongfu.
The latter frowned, but due to the uncle-nephew relationship, he still spoke: "Madam, these three days..."
"Master, please stop begging for mercy. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have let this bitch live here before. Also, you wanted to marry her mother at the beginning, but she ended up marrying your eldest brother without hesitation. She doesn't even like you!"
"It's been so long since what happened, why are you still bringing it up!" Wei Tongfu's face darkened.
Zhang knew very well that the incident was the knot in her husband's heart, so she continued to instigate him.
"It's the past, the person is dead, so Master, you can't still want to raise someone else's daughter!"
Wei Tongfu's face was extremely ugly, "Don't talk nonsense here!"
He glanced at Wei Yao and spoke in a bad tone.
"You women, handle your own affairs from now on, don't bother me with them again!"
After saying this, he turned around and left. Although he said he didn't care, as long as he didn't interfere, everything would naturally be decided by Zhang.
Zhang looked at Wei Yao proudly, "You heard me, don't think about relying on the uncle-nephew relationship to get money. I have disliked you for a long time. You are just like your mother. In three days, either take the money or leave!"
Zhang snorted coldly and turned away, not forgetting to say, "Clean up the floor, or you'll get out today."
Wei Yao stood there stiffly, her back stiffened. When Zhang mentioned her mother, she couldn't help but clench her fists, and anger finally showed on her face.
Jiang Mushi, who was upstairs, looked at the situation and felt indignant.
The companion next to him couldn't help but say: "This is too bullying!"
The voice was a little loud and was heard by Wei Yao downstairs. She was stunned and subconsciously looked upstairs.
Jiang Mushi quickly pulled his companions back and avoided Wei Yao's sight.
"What are you doing?" his companion asked in confusion.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Jiang Mushi sighed and said, "If it were you, would you be willing to be seen in such an embarrassing state?"
Besides, she is a girl, and she is very shy, so she definitely doesn't want to be seen by others.
After a while, Jiang Mushi cautiously leaned forward and looked downstairs.
Downstairs, Wei Yao had disappeared, and the overturned wooden basin on the ground had been cleaned up.
Jiang Mushi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of what he had just heard, he couldn't help but frown again.
No longer in the mood to continue eating, Jiang Mushi paid the bill, said goodbye to his companions and left.
Thinking that they were all female officials, she decided to go back and ask her elder sister.
After returning to the Jiang family, he went straight to Jiang Suining's yard.
As soon as I entered, I saw Pei Zhaozhi.
Jiang Mushi failed to recognize the other person immediately. Seeing Pei Zhaozhi sitting so openly in his elder sister's yard, he was stunned for a moment and muttered something faster than his brain could think.
"Sister, you wouldn't quietly change my brother-in-law, would you?"
Seeing Jiang Suining and Pei Zhaozhi looking at him, Jiang Mushi laughed twice.
"So it's Master Pei. I was just joking. Sister, isn't my brother-in-law here today?"
Jiang Suining gestured behind Jiang Mushi, "Why don't you look back?"
