Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

Liu Laogen sighed and said to Wei Shi, "Third son's wife, you two don't live at home all year round. Jinbao has also gotten married and is basically not at home. The house is just sitting empty."

Baozhu had already been engaged and would soon be married off, leaving the room empty.

As for you two and Fu Bao, two empty rooms are enough.

The study remained untouched, left for the fourth son to study.

Let's leave the remaining room for Peach Girl and the others!

That's the decision for now.

"Father, it's not that your daughter-in-law is unwilling, this girl Tao is my niece, I'm definitely willing to let her stay for a while."

My son, Silang, just needs a quiet place to study.

It's quite inconvenient that this girl, Tao, brought a strange girl to stay with them.

Moreover, there are two four- or five-year-old children. With these noisy children, how can Silang concentrate on his studies?

"Father, Silang's autumn imperial examination is a major event for our family; we can't be careless!"

Madam Zhao knew that what the old man cared about most was his husband's imperial examination.

He dreamed that someone from the Liu family would become an official and bring glory to the family in the future.

Sure enough, after Zhao finished speaking, Liu Laogen frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Father, although the autumn imperial examination is important for our fourth brother, he may not necessarily come back to study!"

As you know, their whole family lives in the county and they only come back during holidays.

He's studying over there too. Even if Tao Yatou and the others move in, how could they possibly affect his studies?

This Wei family is really selfish. They have so many empty rooms, yet they won't even let someone stay in one room temporarily.

She absolutely has to make her give up a room today.

"Zhao, are you deliberately going against me? Father hasn't even said anything, yet you keep chattering on and on."

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

The other woman's sister-in-law didn't say a word, but you think you're so capable?

Let me tell you, my son Silang's education is of paramount importance, and no one can interfere with it.

Also, although my fourth son is rarely home, he might come back for a short stay sometime.

Wei's eyes looked like she wanted to devour her third son's wife.

Madam Xu was taken aback. This fourth sister-in-law was really something, how did she suddenly drag her into this?

"Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, stop arguing and listen to Dad!"

Xu was a lowly person with little influence, and no one dared to offend him.

Liu Laogen thought about it and agreed. He glanced at his third wife, who seemed unwilling to give up a room.

But now we can't stop them.

So he coughed twice and said, "Third brother's wife, go and prepare a room for Tao Yatou and the others to stay in."

They're only staying temporarily; they won't take your room.

Peach Girl is a sensible girl; she won't let that child cause trouble.

The old man's words had a clear meaning; they contained two points.

The first meaning is that the room is for Tao Yatou and the others to stay temporarily, not for a long time, so that Lao Si's wife can rest assured.

The second meaning is that Tao Yatou must keep the two children in check and prevent them from causing trouble.

"father……"

Before Wei could say anything more, the old man stopped her, saying, "Fourth son's wife, I've made my decision. This is how it will be done."

Second and third sons' wives, you go cook. Fourth son's wife, you go tidy up the house.

Just as Tao'er was about to say something, Wang Shi came out of the house, her voice sharp and sarcastic, "This old woman doesn't agree!"

"Peach Girl is a good-for-nothing, a lowly girl. She's already being kind by having a woodshed to live in; she still wants to take over the fourth son's house? No way!"

The old man glanced at Wang Shi, who was being helped out by her youngest daughter, Liu Jiaojiao, and frowned.

Why is this woman causing trouble again? He had already made a decision, and the matter would have been resolved.

"Honey, what are you doing out here again?"

Instead of staying indoors and resting, [they did something else].

"I said unhappily."

"Master, you're really getting senile. How could you let the fourth son's family give their room to that wretched girl from the first wife's family?"

Does she deserve it?

The fourth son is the foundation of our Liu family; he's the most promising son who will bring glory to our ancestors.

Wang looked at Tao'er and her two brothers with hatred in her eyes.

"That's right, Dad, you're getting senile. How could you let this little slut stay in Fourth Brother's room?"

They were already lucky to have a woodshed to live in.

Not only did she come back, but she also brought a madwoman and two burdens with her. It's already quite good that they gave her a place to stay.

Still nitpicking here, you're simply ungrateful!

"Liu Jiaojiao, do you want to be whipped again?"

Do you still want to get slapped?

Tao asked coldly.

Qingge touched the whip at her waist, and Liu Tao'er immediately stepped back, "You...you crazy woman, don't come any closer."

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, your mother is here. She won't dare to bully you."

If she bullies you, I'll have your second and third brothers beat her up.

Wang protected her daughter like an eagle protecting its chicks.

Although the old woman was vicious, she genuinely loved Liu Jiaojiao.

"Mrs. Wang, you keep calling me a worthless girl and a money-loser, then your daughter Liu Jiaojiao is also a money-loser and a worthless girl."

And you're a woman too, you're a money-loser, no, an old money-loser, a shameless old hag!

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Upon hearing this, Wang was furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

She spat, and her spittle almost splashed onto Tao'er's face, but luckily she dodged quickly.

"Peach Girl, shut up!"

My daughter is not like yours.

She is a precious and delicate woman, destined to marry a wealthy man in the city, or even an official.

And you want the fourth bedroom to make room for you?

Forget about it, I won't agree.

Wang stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to devour someone.

"Peach Girl, you see, it's not that your fourth aunt is unwilling, it's that your grandmother absolutely refuses to agree."

You just got back, so you don't know that your grandmother's favorite person is your fourth uncle.

She forbids any of us from disturbing your fourth uncle's studies, or she'll fight anyone who tries.

"Or you'd better just have to make do with it..."

Tao'er ignored Wei Shi and looked directly at Liu Laogen. "Grandpa, Grandma doesn't agree. I think we should just forget about it!"

Perhaps we should think of some other ideas.

"Honey, don't pay any attention to this brat."

If she comes back alone, she can even squeeze in with the two sisters, Shiliu and Shiliu, from the second brother's family!

Who told her to bring so many people back?

No wonder they have nowhere to sleep!

There are only a few rooms in the house, where would we find extra space for her?

"This girl has the body of a maid but the life of a young lady. She doesn't have the fortune, yet she still has wild fantasies."

Which rural girl gets herself a maid?

Even your fourth uncle, a scholar, didn't have a maidservant.

What gives you the right?

Wang was both envious and jealous, as she had lived to a ripe old age without ever having a maidservant to serve her!

What right does this teenage brat have? She's not from an official family.

"That's right, I don't have any maids to serve me either, so why do you have maids to serve you?"

I think you should just kick them out!

To avoid making a fool of the Liu family in front of outsiders!

Liu Jiaojiao chimed in.

She secretly rejoiced, thinking that if she could get rid of Qingge, who knew kung fu, who was by this wretched girl's side, she could easily deal with this little slut.

As for Tiezhu and Tiechui, they have to go out to work and can't stay with her every day.
