Chapter 34, Mother and Child Talk

  Yan Zhigao stepped into the old lady's house angrily. As soon as she entered, she found that the house was very quiet. Except for the old lady and the grandmother who was waiting, no one was there.

  Sun's mother saw Yan Zhigao coming in, saluted him, and then quietly left the house, and after going out, she carefully closed the door.

   Seeing this, Yan Zhigao was taken aback.

   "Where are you from?" Old lady Yan couldn't hear the voice of joy and anger.

   Yan Zhigao raised his eyes and looked at the old lady. Seeing that she didn't look at herself, she couldn't figure out what she meant, and said, "My son just came back from the office."

  The old lady Yan glanced lightly at the elder who was still irritated, and asked: "You have just gotten to the office, why is it like this? Is there something in the office that hasn't been resolved?"

  Yan Zhigao shook his head and walked to the chair below the old lady to sit down: “It’s not about the Yamen. It’s because the son heard that Daohua ran into Master Qin openly and made Master Qin so angry that he couldn’t go to class. This made him angry.”

  Yan old lady: "Who did you listen to?"

   "Lin told his son."

  Yan Zhigao said it without thinking about it, but as soon as she said it, she felt bad. Sure enough, with a ‘bang’, Mrs. Yan slapped her on the table too hard.

   "Okay, do you even lie to your own mother for the sake of a concubine?"

   Hearing the words, Yan Zhigao looked panicked: "Where do you start with this mother? How can the son dare to deceive the mother?"

  The old lady Yan sneered: "Don't dare? Then I asked where you came from just now, why didn't you say that you came from Lin?"

  Yan Zhigao: "My son, I didn’t think that you had opinions on Lin, so he’s just"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan became even more angry: "So in your eyes, Wei Niang is such a small-minded little person. What are you afraid of hiding for Lin? Are you afraid of me beating her or afraid of me? Scold her?"

   Yan Zhi Gao anxious: "Mother, son does not mean that."

  The old lady Yan gave Yan Zhigao a little disappointed: "You only know that Wei Niang has opinions on Lin, but have you ever wondered why this is?"

   Yan Zhigao glanced at the old lady, he was also puzzled.

  The Lin family is knowledgeable, virtuous, and good-natured. It is reasonable to say that the old lady likes it very much, but the reality is that after being here for so long, the old lady has never given Lin a good face.

  It was difficult for him to ask his mother personally about this matter, let alone say a lot of good things about Aunt Lin, because he was afraid that it would be counterproductive, so he fell silent.

  There was a brief silence in the room.

  Yan Zhigao felt the atmosphere was weird and had to find another topic: “Mother, it’s going to have dinner soon, why haven’t everyone here yet?”

Mrs. Yan coldly snorted: "As you know that everyone will come to me for dinner at this time, you still rushed over to find Daohua with a face full of anger. I asked you, what do you want to do and want to be in front of everyone again. Scold her?"

   "For your Aunt Lin, you can hide it from me, why don't you think about Daohua, you scold her in front of so many people, do you think she will have no face to stay in this house in the future, right?"

  Yan Zhigao looked helpless: "Mother, it's not that the son wants to scold Daohua. It is really that Daohua has done too much this time, and openly contradicted the teacher. There are no rules at all, no matter what."

  The old lady Yan had an ugly face: "I raised Daohua. You said she had no rules. Are you accusing me?"

  Yan Zhigao has a headache: "Mother, don't be so arrogant, shall we have something to say?"

"boom!"

  The old lady Yan patted the table sharply again: "Is it messing around, or do you just listen to it?"

  Yan Zhi moved her lips, wanting to refute, but looking at the old lady's livid face, she could only hang her head in silence.

The old lady Yan sneered: "I'm not too confused yet. These days, I can see that I understand. The mother and son in Shuangxinyuan are your favorites. I will ask you, you only know that Daohua is against you. Teacher, have you asked about the reason?"

   Yan Zhigao muttered: "No matter what the reason, you shouldn't confront the teacher."

Old Mrs. Yan scraped a glance at her older child, and explained what Daohua had experienced in class: "You are a magistrate, and you are used to judge cases. Tell the old lady whether Master Qin has done his best to be a teacher. What's your duty?"

  Yan Zhigao looked surprised. He did not expect Master Qin would target the eldest daughter in class, and tentatively said: "Is it a mistake?"

  The old lady Yan coldly snorted: “There are so many people in class. If you don’t believe it, you can ask others.”

  "This" Yan Zhigao wondered, "No, why is this?"

  He couldn't understand why Master Qin did this.

   Daohua is his eldest daughter. For her, isn’t this not giving him face?

  The old lady Yan looked at Da'er and sighed: "Zhi Gao, you have read well since you were a child, and have a strong ability to do things, but when it comes to being a man, you are still far behind."

  "I know, you dislike the background of Li's businessman, but you can ask yourself, in these years, if Li did not help you with the housework, would you be able to do things in the front yard with peace of mind?"

   Yan Zhi Gao and weak retorted: "Mother, after Wenxiu and Wen Kai were born, I don't dislike the Li family anymore."

  Science, agriculture, industry and commerce, the merchant has the lowest status. When he was young and frivolous, he really looked down on the stinky copper merchant.

  But now, Li gave him two sons and a daughter, so he didn't care much about her business background.

  Old lady Yan: "Then why did you still accept the Lin family? Isn't it just thinking that she has a talented father, she is very knowledgeable, can I talk to you with red sleeves and Bing Zhuye."

  Yan Zhigao was a little uncomfortable when Mrs. Yan said that she lowered her head and said nothing.

  Old lady Yan: “I’m too lazy to take care of the things in your room. You can pet your concubine, but you can’t ignore your wife and the child she has. You must know that if you are too partial, that’s the source of chaos.”

   Now, Yan Zhigao couldn't help it: "Mother, when did I ignore Li and Wenxiu?"

  The old lady Yan squinted at him: "I am not blind, do you know it in your own mind, think about how you dealt with Wenbin and Yishuang, and how you dealt with Wenxiu, Wenkai and Daohua."

  "Li's background is indeed not high enough, but she has helped you to keep your home organized and organized. There is no credit and hard work. And what did your concubine do for you?"

   "Zhi Gao, this person can't forget his roots. If it weren't for me to stop today, you must have directly scolded Daohua without asking anything?"

"How about your other children, I don't know, but Daohua, this girl is very temperamental, and what happened in the class was that she was wronged. You should scold her indiscriminately and beware of her being at odds with you. "

Yan Zhigao narrowed his eyebrows: "Mother, you are too spoiling Daohua. Yes, I didn't find out what happened in class today. It was mine. But Daohua hit the teacher. No matter what the reason, it is not. It should be."

  Old lady Yan: "Without your concubine’s instigation, could something like this happen?"

   Yan Zhigao helplessly: "Mother, aren't you talking about Daohua? Why did you get involved with Lin again?"

Old lady Yan coldly snorted: "Is this matter not to her? Then Master Qin dares to treat Daohua like this, isn't it because she is behind her back? Go tell Lin, tell her to give me peace, and Master Qin. , Brother again, is this taking the Yan family as her home?"

Yan Zhigao: "Mother, if Li was able to invite Master, I would not take Lin's opinion and let Master Qin come to class at home. As for Lin's younger brother, he has good knowledge and can usually help his son. ."

  Hearing this, the old lady Yan sighed in her heart.

  The position of this woman in her husband’s family is directly related to her natal family, but Li’s natal family is indeed a lot worse than Lin’s. Only Master Lin compared all of Li’s brothers who are businessmen.

"Anyway, you let Lin be honest, she is a concubine, don't try to interfere with the upbringing of the girls. And you, you are a father, but children also have children's ideas, especially Daohua, she has never been Raising by your side is unfamiliar. If you encounter a problem, you will scold her when you come up. This will push her farther and farther."

  Yan Zhigao was speechless: "Don't worry, she pushes me farther and farther?"

  Yan old lady: "If that's the case, then you should."

   Yan Zhigao has nothing to say: "Mother, I can see it, Daohua, it is your heart."

  The old lady Yan glared at him: "You look really bad, I just noticed it!"

  "."

   Yan Zhigao was completely defeated.

  The old lady Yan was angry when she saw him and waved her hand: "Go away, I'll let everyone eat in their own room tonight. It's up to you where you want to go."

   "Son retire!"

   Yan Zhigao walked out of Songhe Courtyard with some headaches, and walked towards Shuangxin Courtyard according to instinct. When he was about to enter the door, thinking of what his mother had said, he walked around and went to the main courtyard.

  As soon as I stepped into the main courtyard, I heard joyous laughter from the main room.
