Chapter 61 Brothers Fight 1
Chapter 61 Brothers Fight 1
Liu Rumei is not a good sister, but she is a qualified spectator.
The melons at home may not taste good, but they are guaranteed to be ripe.
"Don't be angry, young lady. The second young master has always been a scoundrel. But fortunately, the second young master still took the eldest young master into consideration because he is his biological brother, so he didn't do anything."
Liu Rumei felt a little regretful when hearing what the Li family's mother-in-law said.
Why not take action?
Brothers must also settle accounts!
When they arrived, Liu Xiurong's yard was already in a mess.
Liu Xiuyan stood in the yard, pointing at the house and cursing.
"Liu Xiurong, you bastard! Who allowed you to close your family's weapons shop? I like the weapons from that shop the most!"
Liu Rumei was a little surprised to hear this. Why were they arguing like this over a shop?
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be taking advantage of the situation.
However, she was also very curious why her eldest brother closed the weapons shop?
Doesn't he only like calligraphy and painting? Weapons have nothing to do with him.
"Young lady, please try to persuade her." said the old woman of the Li family.
"Where's mother? Why didn't she come?"
"Well, the lady is taking care of the Marquis and she said she can't spare the time."
"Apart from that? Didn't you say anything else?" Liu Rumei asked with a smile.
Mrs. Li felt deeply moved, thinking that the eldest girl was indeed smart and always guessed correctly.
Her nominal master now is the lady, but her actual master is the eldest daughter. She has to tell the truth and cannot cover up for the lady.
"Madam said that since the old lady has given the right to run the household to the young lady, the young lady should take the lead in matters at the backyard, so we should stop bothering others."
Liu Rumei smiled, this is truly her biological mother.
Okay, since she has given it to me, she must not regret it!
Mrs. Li was helpless and she didn't want to say it. After all, this was not what a mother should say.
But the two young masters started fighting, and she didn't dare to intervene. She couldn't hide it, so she could only find the older girl.
"It seems that father's injury is very serious. He won't recover in a year or so. Don't bother mother if you have any problems in the future."
Liu Rumei said this and found a shady place in the corridor to sit down.
The Li family's mother-in-law understood what was going on. She was asked to keep it a secret from the Madam. It would not be easy for the Madam to be the head of the household in the future.
Alas, she asked for it.
"Yes." The Li family's mother-in-law agreed.
Seeing Liu Rumei coming, the maids and servants who were secretly watching the fun in the corridor quickly dispersed.
Just kidding, you can't mess with older girls.
Everyone had left, and the only old man left stood out.
The man was wearing a gray gown and had grey hair, but he looked energetic. He was holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, enjoying the cool air leisurely.
He glanced at Liu Rumei and was a little surprised.
But he did not stand up to salute, nor did he say anything. Instead, he just sat there without moving.
Liu Rumei didn't say anything, but suddenly thought of a person, Mr. Dong, who was responsible for teaching Liu Xiurong to read.
This gentleman is an interesting person, so Liu Rumei asked Chuntao to bring tea and pastries.
"Girl, do you want some cakes now?"
"It always feels a little bit lacking if you don't eat anything while watching the fun. Oh, and prepare a portion for Mr. Dong as well."
Chuntao was helpless. Her own girl was becoming more and more unpredictable.
What could she do? She could only pamper her own girl.
The old man looked at Liu Rumei in surprise. He felt that it was excessive enough for him as a husband to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that being a sister could be even more excessive.
However, he still remembered to prepare one for himself. This kid is good.
Mr. Dong smiled and accepted the kindness with ease.
During this short period of time, Liu Xiuyan had smashed everything in the yard, even the porcelain pot with water lilies in the corner.
Liu Rumei frowned slightly and told Chuntao: "Keep a record. Write down how much this guy has spent and deduct his monthly salary."
No one expected Liu Rumei to say this.
As Chuntao was Liu Rumei's maid, she naturally listened to the lady and deducted money when asked to do so without any mercy.
Liu Xiuyan discovered that his elder brother was a coward and was so angry that he didn't even come out.
Really, he wanted to hit someone.
But after all, he was not so bad as to kill his own brother. He really couldn't fight with his own brother. Was he so angry that he wanted to tear down the house?
Only at this time did Liu Rumei put down her snacks and start giving instructions.
"Little brother, the things in the yard are not valuable, the calligraphy and paintings in the study are more valuable."
With just this one sentence, Liu Xiuyan suddenly understood.
Yes, aren’t these calligraphy and paintings what his elder brother cares about the most?
He quickly went to the study, but Liu Xiurong, who had always believed that silence was golden, could not bear it anymore.
"Liu Xiuyan, stop it! How dare you!"
He came running towards me, and his extraordinary temperament was nowhere to be found. I was so scared that my voice was chopped!
Liu Rumei smiled when she saw this, and threw a peach pit directly out, hitting it at Liu Xiurong's feet.
With a plop, Liu Xiurong slid and fell to her knees.
Liu Xiuyan: ...What happened!
Liu Xiurong: ...Who threw the peach pit!
One of the brothers was stunned, and the other was dumbfounded, and the scene was a little quiet.
Mr. Dong, who had been watching and eating and drinking for free, was stunned.
It was the first time he met the eldest girl in the mansion, and also the first time he met such a wicked girl.
Is this your biological sister?
This must be due to some grudge!
However, he had to admit that although the method was a bit cruel, the effect was obvious, and the two of them were very honest at this moment.
"Go on, keep fighting. It's no fun if you stop."
When Liu Rumei said this, Liu Xiurong stood up quickly. This was too embarrassing.
"Big sister, why are you here!"
"Eldest sister, when did you come?"
Liu Rumei put down the snacks and didn't stand up, but looked at them with a smile.
"I've been here for a while, and I saw a good show of brothers killing each other."
The two were silent for a moment, it wasn't as serious as fratricide.
"Eldest sister, please judge for yourself. Why did Liu Xiurong close our weapons shop? I lost face today!"
Liu Rumei looked at her reckless brother and felt ashamed?
Just throw it away and you'll get used to it.
"How did you lose your face? Was it serious? Do you want me to pick it up for you?"
Liu Xiuyan was stunned for a moment. How could he regain the face he had lost?
"I took a friend to the store to buy something today, but it was closed. People thought our mansion was in ruins!"
Liu Rumei nodded, and then answered lightly.
"It's just a weapons shop. If it's closed, it's closed. The Marquis's Mansion doesn't rely on a shop for its livelihood."
"But I originally promised to give them two weapons each. Now, my friends think I am going to go back on my word on purpose."
Liu Rumei smiled. He mentioned two weapons right away. What a waste of money.
Fortunately, I still have a few friends. How come you haven’t starved to death yet?
"Chun Tao, does our mansion have a weapons shop?"
"Miss, it's not our mansion, but the madam's dowry shop. The shop is in the south of the city, and they sell carriages and horses in the backyard."
Liu Rumei nodded and looked at Liu Xiurong.
"Why did you close the shop, brother? It's not making any money, it's losing money."
