Her parents had told her that a married woman should obey her husband. After she got married, her husband would be the closest person to her in the world.
However, she did not feel the slightest bit of closeness from her husband. All she felt was endless coldness and disdain.
Her husband would rather talk to the farmers outside than show her any kindness.
When she was being bullied by his mother, her husband clearly saw it but did not say a word. He even condoned his mother's bullying.
Didn't they say that he was the last person she could rely on in this world?
Was this the only person she could rely on?
Moreover, because of her husband's attitude, the servants she brought with her began to disobey her.
In the past, she had always been intimidated by Jin Xiulian's words of asking her son to divorce her.
However, after thinking about it carefully, would Jin Xiulian dare to ask Li Xiucai to divorce her?
When she married into their family, their house was bare and they did not even have proper furniture.
Now, everything they ate and used was bought by her family. Even the money they used was given by her family.
It was not like what her parents said, that she was the one who wanted to cling to Li Xiucai's family. It was Li Xiucai's family who wanted to cling to her firmly.
Their family was clearly living off her money, but they still wanted to ride on her head. They were living off a woman and yet they were still so arrogant. Seriously, did they think that everyone else was like a fool who could be manipulated by them?
Her daughter-in-law was not a fool. There were some things that she did not understand at the moment. Now that Jiujiu gave her some pointers, her daughter-in-law understood what was at stake and instantly understood.
Her daughter-in-law looked at Jiujiu with gratitude. "Thank you, little sister. I understand."
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "It's good that you understand."
Her daughter-in-law looked at the little girl whom she had only met once and who had helped her. After thinking for a moment, she took off the jade bracelet she had worn for many years and put it on Jiujiu's wrist.
Jiujiu's wrist was slender. The emerald green bracelet and Jiujiu's wrist complemented each other. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether Jiujiu's wrist was more beautiful or the jade bracelet was more dazzling.
Jiujiu raised her hand and looked at the bracelet in front of her eyes. She smiled and said, "Since it's a gift from Elder Sister, it would be impolite for Younger Sister to refuse."
"I should be the one thanking you."
If not for Jiujiu, she would have been bullied by Li Xiucai and his family for a long time.
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "If Big Sister wants to thank someone, then thank your father. If he hadn't helped Big Sister gain this family business, Big Sister wouldn't be so confident."
Jiujiu actually wanted to say that if it wasn't for her father's efforts,
She wouldn't have meddled in other people's business and meddled in Wan 'er's affairs.
Wan 'er didn't understand the meaning behind Jiujiu's words. She thought Jiujiu was simply asking her to thank her father for the family business, so she smiled and thanked Jiujiu for a while.
Jiujiu sat for a while, then got up to leave.
As soon as Jiujiu left, Jin Xiulian immediately rushed in. She looked at her daughter-in-law and raised her hand to slap her like she always did.
However, the Wan 'er who had just been brainwashed by Jiujiu was no longer the same Wan' er who could be bullied as she pleased.
Wan 'er grabbed Jin Xiulian's hand. She looked into Jin Xiulian's eyes and said, word by word, "I won't let you continue to bully me."
Their entire family ate and used her things, yet they still wanted to bully her. How could there be such an easy thing in this world?
Wan 'er flung Jin Xiulian's arm away.
Jin Xiulian had just been taught a lesson by Qingyan. She had just hit Wan 'er in a fit of anger. Now that Wan' er flung her arm away, the grievances from before and the sullenness from now surged together. She directly sat down on the ground and opened her mouth to howl, "I can't live like this anymore. “
If it was in the past, Wan 'er would definitely immediately rush over to apologize when she heard Jin Xiulian cry like this. Then she would cede land and pay compensation, promising many benefits to coax Jin Xiulian.
But today, Wan 'er had been pointed out by Jiujiu. She understood that it was because of her tolerance and concession that Jin Xiulian and Li Xiucai had become so unbridled. So, from today onwards.
From now on, she wouldn't let them …
Mother and son.
The two of them were riding on her head.
Jin Xiulian sat on the ground and howled for a long time, but Wan 'er still didn't apologize or compensate her.
Qingyan was a servant girl who had been trained by Steward Li and was specially sent to Jiujiu's side to protect her.
She looked obedient and harmless, but in reality, she could easily beat up an adult man.
Because Qingyan originally looked down on Jin Xiulian, and because of Jin Xiulian yesterday, Jin Xiulian had caused Jin Xiulian to climb up the wall. The new and old grudges came together, and Jin Xiulian was dealt with miserably by Qingyan.
After failing to hit Wan 'er and howling for so long, she was unbearably tired. She hastily called for a servant girl to help her back to her room to rest.
However, when Wan 'er left earlier, she had her personal servant girl call all the servants of the Li Family to her courtyard to teach them the rules. Jin Xiulian shouted for a long time, but not a single servant came. In the end, she could only limp back to her room and lie down on the bed to rest.
Lying on the bed, the more Jin Xiulian thought about it, the more she couldn't accept it. She couldn't suffer in silence like this. If she was scared by Wan 'er this time, how would she teach Wan' er a lesson in the future?
Thus, Jin Xiulian planned to wait for her son, Li Xiucai, to come back tonight to teach Wan 'er a lesson.
At this moment, Wan 'er had gathered a group of servants in the courtyard to teach them the rules.
These servants were specially bought by Wan 'er's father to serve Wan' er when she married Li Xiucai.
Because Wan 'er had failed to live up to expectations in the past, she had been bullied by Jin Xiulian and Li Xiucai. Even these servants, who had originally acknowledged her as their master, had started to change their attitude and treated Jin Xiulian and Li Xiucai as their masters.
In the past, Wan 'er had been weak and didn't know how to fight for herself. That was why Jin Xiulian and Li Xiucai had acted so atrociously over her head.
Now that Jiujiu had ordered her to do so, she finally understood that there were some things that she had to fight for herself.
Thus, she had to set rules for these servants and make them understand who their true masters were in this courtyard.
Wan 'er looked at the servants standing in the courtyard and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"
The servants weren't afraid of Wan 'er and immediately giggled, "We don't know. Why did Madam call us here?
If Madam isn't in a hurry, I still have to go back and make dinner. The old madam said she wants to eat sour soup noodles today. "
The one who spoke was the kitchen maid. Because she made delicious food, she had won Jin Xiulian's favor and her status in the courtyard had risen as a result.
It was also because of this that she looked down on Wan 'er, the nominal mistress of the house, and had made things difficult for her.
Wan 'er hadn't dared to challenge her because of Li Xiucai and had been bullied by her many times.
This time, Wan 'er would no longer tolerate this kitchen maid.
