Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!
Chapter 70 There must be a brave man under the heavy reward
Seeing that Li Yuening didn't say anything, perhaps thinking of his previous acquiescence, Xie Lin felt a little embarrassed, "Eat..."
Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. After the meal, Li Yuening and Xie Shi followed the old man to the study.
After closing the door, Mr. Xie asked, "Sister Ning, are you blaming me?"
Li Yuening's eyes were full of confusion, "Grandpa, why do you say that?"
Old Master Xie chuckled. Since she didn't admit it, that was fine. He would treat her better in the future as compensation for today.
"How are things arranged?" Grandpa Xie asked Xie Shi.
Xie Shi said coldly, "Grandpa, I have already arranged it. You can ask Uncle Fang about the progress."
The old man was dissatisfied with Xie Shi's attitude and grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at him, "Asshole, this is your attitude. I am the head of the family first and your grandfather second. It is not your turn to treat me perfunctorily."
The old man's anger was half due to Xie Shi and half he used this as an excuse to explain to Li Yuening that some things were beyond his control and that he was the head of the family and had to put the interests of the Xie family first.
Xie Shi did not hide. Yue Ning had been wronged, and only by suffering some physical pain could he offset the guilt in his heart.
The inkstone was less than a finger's distance from Xie Shi's face. A slender hand grabbed the edge of the inkstone. Fortunately, the ink was dry and did not come out. "Why don't you hide? It will be ugly if your face is damaged."
Li Yuening didn't expect Xie Shi to be beaten stupidly. "Grandpa, if you are angry with Yuening, please don't take it out on my third brother. If my face is broken, how can you find me another perfect husband? Yuening won't agree."
As he spoke, he walked towards the old man and gently put down the inkstone. "Besides, he can't bear to see me being wronged. Grandpa, please calm down."
The old man had been warned by Xie Shi in advance, but he was still shocked by Li Yuening's skills. After hearing what Li Yuening said, he took advantage of the situation and said, "It's normal for young people to be a little angry, but you have to know the limit. Don't think that people outside will spoil you like they do at home."
Li Yuening still smiled, "We should learn from grandpa's way of dealing with people all his life. As long as you are not afraid of causing trouble for me and my third brother, we will come to bother you often in the future."
The old man was relieved, his face wrinkled with smile, "My wife is still the most likable one."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Yuening said, "Grandpa, there is something that Yuening said that makes sense. The people in this mansion really need to set some rules.
You see, I have only been here for a few days, and so many things have happened. Yue Ningzhi is willing to make trouble because of her prestige in the mansion in the future. After all, I am the master. It would be embarrassing for you to be arbitrarily arranged by servants, right? "
The old man didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters. The Xie family usually only had breakfast together and talked about what had happened recently in the mansion. If there were any arrangements, they could be made on the spot.
After breakfast, everyone should read, embroider, or go out to meet guests. For two consecutive breakfasts, Li Yuening and Feng Shi had a big fight.
"Well, what ideas does Sister Ning have?" the old man took the opportunity to ask.
Li Yuening thought for a moment and said, "Report each other. The reported one will be fined a monthly salary, and then the salary will be awarded to the reporter. The maids and nannies who have more monthly salaries will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
The old man looked at Li Yuening, "What if those maids and servants don't dare?"
Li Yuening, "There will always be brave men under a big reward. Let's keep it anonymous first, so that those who dare not speak out can get a taste of the sweetness. For the sake of the monthly salary, they will also tell the truth."
The old man looked at Li Yuening, "How can we remain anonymous?"
"Find an empty room in the mansion, preferably one with few people, and place three people inside. Inform the people in the mansion that there is an anonymous report on this matter, explain the reward system, and then wait for people to come."
"Why three people? And how can the whistleblower get the reward anonymously?" the old man asked, and Xie Shi listened carefully.
Li Yuening, "One person is unfair, two people are afraid of collusion, three people can supervise each other, and as for receiving the reward, give the other party a voucher.
Tell him that if the other party's report is true after verification, he can receive the reward with the certificate. The two parties don't need to meet each other as long as the other party feels safe and will not be recognized. "
"So we should look for someone who is not familiar with the mansion?"
Li Yuening, "It depends on you."
Old man, "Will the house be fine in this way?"
Li Yuening, "At least it's better than now. It can filter out those who like to gossip. No matter what, it will be helpful for Madam Feng to control her servants."
The old man laughed, "Humph, you really are a man who never suffers any loss."
Li Yuening also smiled, "If someone shows me respect, I will show him respect. Most of the time I don't want to spend time on these trivial matters, but that doesn't mean I don't care. I keep them in my mind."
"Oh? Me too?" the old man said jokingly.
"That depends on whether you are willing to teach me and my third brother? I'll keep a balance for you." Li Yuening did not say directly that she forgave him, but told the other party that she had her own account in her heart.
At this moment, the old man felt that Xie Zhan really missed a good daughter-in-law, and his Xie family also missed a daughter-in-law to head the family.
The old man laughed, "Well, Sister Ning is not very old, how did you come up with this idea?"
Li Yuening suddenly felt bad. "You know, my father is not at home all year round. I started to manage the household when I was ten years old. Although the escort agency is not as good as the Xie Mansion, it is not that easy to manage. I am lucky that those servants who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak do not bully me."
The old man knew he had spoken out of turn, "You've suffered."
Li Yuening said casually: "Fortunately, I am quite smart. After a few years, everything has gone smoothly. There are twists and turns, but they are nothing compared to the results."
The old man's eyes were moist, and he patted Li Yuening's arm, "Good boy."
"Oh, Grandpa, my third brother and I are going to Nanshan in two days. He has told you about it, right?" Li Yuening was most afraid of dealing with such sentimental scenes and quickly changed the subject.
Xie Lin hummed, "I was planning to let you stay at home. How can you be as comfortable as home if you are sleeping outside in the open air?"
Li Yuening said mysteriously: "I really can't do this without you."
The old and the young started chatting about this topic.
It was almost noon when Li Yuening and Xie Shi came out of the study.
Xie Shi held Li Yuening's hand and said, "Shall we leave the Xie family?"
Anyway, he no longer considers himself a member of the Xie family.
Li Yuening shook her head, "It can be seen that Grandpa has remembered what I mentioned. Just wait and see. This time, they will make a big fuss. When we come back from Nanshan, no one who should show up will be able to escape.
Xie Shi, I know you don't like them, but now is not the best time. Even if you leave the Xie family, at least you can't bear the stigma. "
No matter how heated the arguments were in the Xie Mansion, they were all internal conflicts. If they were to be spread outside, outsiders would not care about right or wrong, but only about seniority, and Xie Shi would inevitably be in trouble.
A person who betrays his family will be despised in this era. No matter how talented and capable he is, he will not be valued, because if you don’t even love your own family, how can you talk about loyalty and how can you convince others?
Xie Shi hugged Li Yuening and said, "But I don't want to see you forcing a smile."
Li Yuening patted his back. "I just find it funny that I first drew a conclusion about Grandpa Xie. In this world, interests are really the most important thing. I thought he treated me as his own granddaughter. Don't you think it's funny?"
