Chapter 188: Under the Fence
Even though he knew that Zhao Lili was exaggerating like this, just to make him happy, Luo Yihai had to admit that he was indeed in a good mood because of her words.
"Ma'am." At this time, a very old nanny next to him interjected with a face full of embarrassment: "Those old ginseng have been used up, and the cup that the old man drank just now is the last point." ”
Listening to her words, Luo Yihai, who was originally kind, changed his face instantly, and his smile disappeared without a trace.
"How is it possible, go and look for it again, have you forgotten where you put it?" Zhao Lili was also surprised, and then reprimanded sternly: "How many times have I said that the things at home must be registered, especially valuables, how much is used, and how to use them, all must be written clearly." ”
Tang Xuan's face next to him was already a little pale, and Chen Xi's face was not much better than her.
"It's really gone." The nanny was very aggrieved, glanced at Tang Xuan, and then said without hesitation: "These days, Mrs. Tang has made people stew one every day, and it just so happens that it has all been used up today. ”
When Zhao Lili heard this, she also looked at Tang Xuan, with some surprise in her eyes, but no one noticed the smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Dad, that's really a coincidence. Well, I'll have people buy another batch of better ones right now. She didn't blame Tang Xuan, but first calmed Luo Yihai's emotions.
This made the anger in Luo Yihai's heart unable to be discharged, and his dissatisfaction with Tang Xuan deepened.
He snorted, "No, our family is not rich enough to eat ginseng." I'm an old bone, and I don't have this blessing. ”
After saying that, he didn't look at anyone anymore, and went back to the room alone on crutches, and slammed the door shut with a "snap".
Seeing that the situation was not right, several servants retreated one after another. There were only three people left in the living room, Tang Xuan, Chen Xi and Zhao Lili, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"Lily, I didn't know that ginseng was such a valuable thing, and didn't I let Xiaoxi send a bowl to the hospital these days?" Tang Xuan posted it embarrassedly, with a flattering smile on his face, "Why don't you calculate how much it's worth, and we'll pay you." ”
She only knew that the ginseng was a good thing, so she ordered the kitchen to cook a pot every day, who knew that such a big Luo family only had so much inventory. She's only been drinking for a few days, and that's gone?
And Luo Yihai and Zhao Lili are too stingy, what is that little thing to the Luo family, do you need to shake your face like this? It's as if she spent a lot of money on their Luo family!
There are 10,000 complaints in my heart, and I dare not say it.
Now they are under the fence, and if the master's family is slightly dissatisfied, they can only keep their voices down.
"How much?" Zhao Lili sneered, "I'm afraid you can't afford the price of those ginseng you used." ”
"This ......" Chen Xi was also anxious, pulling Zhao Lili's sleeve and begging: "Aunt Zhao, we didn't mean it. It's not that my mother is not in good health, so I thought that there was ginseng at home, and my grandfather would drink it anyway, so I let the kitchen stew two servings together. ”
She took everything on herself, which was better than letting the Luo family think it was Tang Xuan's fault.
After all, she is still young in their eyes, and if she makes the same mistake, others will only think she is ignorant, but if Tang Xuan commits it, it will make people feel that they don't know what to do.
"If it's just one person who drinks it, those ginseng can be drunk at least a dozen more times." Zhao Lili ignored her plea, "Actually, that little thing is nothing to our family, and I don't want that little money." It's just that now the old man is unhappy because of this matter, which is the most difficult thing to do. ”
"Aunt Zhao, you must have a way, right? Grandpa usually trusts you the most, and he will listen to what you say. You help us say good things, and we will find a suitable time to apologize to grandpa. ”
Chen Xi immediately grasped the mystery in her words, and knew that if he wanted to solve the problem, he had to start with Luo Yihai.
Her words made Zhao Lili even more proud.
With this breath, her mood was much happier. It's just that when he saw Tang Xuan, he still smiled disdainfully: "What doesn't belong to you, don't be delusional, otherwise the dream will collapse and it will become a nightmare." ”
"This time it's a lesson for you. If there is a next time, no one will help you again. ”
Hearing her say this, Chen Xi was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Aunt Zhao, I know that you are the best, and you will definitely help me, thank you." ”
Zhao Lili glanced at her, then at Tang Xuan, didn't say anything more, turned around and went out.
"Mom, it's okay, I'm scared to death." Chen Xi saw her leave, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.
Tang Xuan still lowered his head and didn't move. Chen Xi thought that she was also frightened, and stepped forward to comfort her: "We are living in someone else's house, it is better to keep a low profile, pay attention in the future, don't use their things, we are not without money." ”
She has worked in the Lowe's Group for many years, and the salary is not low.
Luo Jichen will buy what she usually wants, and she doesn't need to spend money on food and clothing. She saved all the wages she received from the Luo's Group, which was not much in total, but the life of their mother and daughter for the rest of their lives was enough.
"I'm not reconciled." Tang Xuan gritted his teeth for a while and said such a sentence, "Who is she Zhao Lili?" It's just a lowly woman who only gets to the top by being a junior, why is she arrogant in front of me. ”
I think that when I met Cheng Ning at the beginning, Zhao Lili was just a follower and foil by their side.
If Cheng Ning was still alive, he would definitely be a guest of honor in the Luo family, where would he be like now, being called around and drinking, without any dignity at all. even his daughter was also affected by Zhao Lili's insults.
"Mom, be quiet." Chen Xi was so frightened that he hurriedly went to cover her mouth.
He carefully looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he made sure no one heard him, "This is her territory, let's be careful in what we say and do in the future." ”
"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry for you." Tang Xuan looked at Chen Xi's cautious appearance, and felt bitter in his heart.
She also thought that her daughter was living in the Luo family, a rich lady. Is that how she has always been?
I knew that it was better to follow myself, although I couldn't give her such superior material conditions, but at least I didn't have to look at people's faces, and I didn't have to deliberately please anyone.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Chen Xi thought she was talking about what she had just said, and smiled at her and said, "It's all a trivial matter, don't take it too seriously." ”
"Xiaoxi, don't worry. I will definitely let you marry into the Luo family in style and become the real hostess here. ”
