    Chapter 145 Shock and awe

    What Qin Tian was referring to was when the second concubine exposed the blindness of the eldest wife. Because she was disrespectful to the eldest wife, the wife once told Jiading to beat the second concubine, but because she was afraid of the second concubine's power, the Jiading blatantly violated the order.

    Such people cannot be tolerated. At that time, she didn't have the position to do anything, but now that she is the head of the family, she should be punished and punished, so that the servants in the government dare not look down on her.

    Immediately, four people stood up and knelt in front of Qin Tian to beg for mercy. Qin Tian was determined to be strong, and naturally he would not be soft-hearted. According to the family law, the four of them each played twenty big boards.

    Life in the village is far more difficult than here, and the work is much more tiring. For these family members who are used to living a comfortable life, it is already a big punishment.

    After punishing the offenders, Qin Tian beat the second concubine against the eldest wife in the name of being disrespectful to the main room, according to the family rules. Although the second concubine was extremely dissatisfied, Qin Tian followed the family law in everything, and she was completely at a disadvantage, and she had no power to fight back.

    The servants who were in charge of the family law had just seen Qin Tian's methods. Under the fear of their hearts, their subordinates did not dare to show mercy. How could the second concubine ever suffer from such skin's flesh? When he reached the seventh board, he couldn't hold it anymore. He tilted his head and fainted. Qin Tian didn't want to cause any trouble, so he told the servants to stop.

    Zhuang Mingxi was already full of tears. Seeing this, he quickly ordered his mother to be carried back. When he was about to leave the hall, Zhuang Mingxi suddenly stopped and looked back at Qin Tian.

    That glance was extremely cold and 'yin' to the extreme, making Qin Tian feel cold all over his body.

    But this is what Qin Tian expected. From the moment she promised the eldest wife, she knew that there would be a conflict between her and the second room. Even if she didn't do this today, wouldn't they think of her well, so as to keep themselves safe ?

    No, they will only think that she is weak and deceitful, and more unscrupulous! Since conflict is inevitable, of course, she has to strike first and minimize their attack power!

    So, how could she be afraid of Zhuang Mingxi's hatred? She raised her head and met her gaze directly, her eyes sharp and powerful.

    Zhuang Mingxi and her looked at each other for a while, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and turned to go out with his back straight.

    Looking at her back, Qin Tian secretly sighed, but unfortunately Zhuang Mingxi is a 'girl' child. If he is a boy, if he was raised from an early age, her intelligence will definitely be more suitable than her brother to become a leader...

    After seeing Qin Tian for a few rounds, the servants in the hall suppressed the second room, who had been arrogant for more than ten years, and could not move. The method was neat and tidy, and they were secretly shocked that Qin Tian, ​​who seemed so gentle and warm on weekdays, would be so cruel. On the one hand, some servants with more cleverness also quietly restrained their minds.

    Qin Tian sat in the right seat and looked at the servants of different colors below, and knew that she had achieved the expected goal today, not only suppressing the second room, but also shocking the servants in the house. Let them not dare to underestimate themselves easily.

    Many of these stewards are closely related to the second room, but they are also very familiar with the various operations of the mansion. Qin Tian can't replace them all at once. Replacing manpower also requires a process. And she also wants to observe them for a while, and if there are loyal and capable ones among them, she is willing to continue to believe them. And those who are cunning and 'tricky' naturally can't stay.

    It's like managing a company, survival of the fittest, a very common thing. The difference is that the one who is eliminated here is the fate of expulsion, but in order to become a good manager, indecision should be avoided.

    "Qin Tian, ​​you are far better than I thought." That night, after Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan accompanied the eldest wife to dinner, the eldest lady said to her, "I was worried that you would be unable to hold back. but now it seems that I am completely overthinking it.”

    The old lady smiled.

    Qin Tian stood behind the eldest wife and pinched her shoulders one by one. This used to be something she often did, and the eldest lady liked her method very much. After marrying Zhuang Xinyan, the eldest lady told her not to do these things. People's lives are dead, but Qin Tian is willing to do it, because it makes her feel a kind of closeness, a kind of intimacy. The eldest lady always brings her a warm feeling.

    "Because I know that if I can't shock them the first day, it will be more difficult to shock them in the future." Qin Tian smiled, "Actually, I'm also very nervous!"

    "That can't be seen at all!" Yueniang lit incense and said with a smile: "Young Master 'Ni'i' 'Nii' sits on it, and even I am in awe!"

    "Yueniang, don't make fun of me!" Qin Tian blushed. Seeing Zhuang Xinyan across from him, he couldn't help laughing. Qin Tian glanced at him angrily.

    "But, mother..." Qin Tian couldn't help but ask the eldest wife: "Qin Tian has never understood that although mother and second concubine have an agreement, there is no need to tolerate them so much. Is there any reason for this?" It's hard for Qin Tian to say, in her opinion, half of the reason for the second concubine's arrogance is that her wife made it out. Although she was asked to be the housekeeper, the wife really wanted to suppress her, and it was not impossible. The identity is there.

    Moreover, since ancient times, have not wives and concubines never been incompatible? Even Lin Dai 'Jade' said that either the east wind suppressed the west wind, or the west wind suppressed the east wind. Why does the eldest wife, the main wife, tolerate a concubine so much?

    The eldest wife sighed and said, "I thought before that, sooner or later, the tea shop will be handed over to Xinchuan, and I will retire sooner or later, so she likes to take power, and I don't bother to care about her. I have so many days. It's true that I can't take care of the family affairs, so I let her to toss. Although she sometimes gets a little arrogant, the family affairs are managed in an orderly manner. Besides, the master has been gone for more than ten years..."

    Speaking of this, the eldest lady's expression darkened, "When the lord went, I was thirty-one years old, Xiumei was twenty-six, and Qiaoyun was only thirty. The three of us 'women' suddenly became A widow and no support. The children are all so small, and the huge dealer is supported by the three of us. When the master was buried, the three of us hugged and cried together. What a scene desolate……"

    Speaking of this, the eldest lady couldn't help but wet the corners of her eyes. She groped for the handkerchief. Qin Tian quickly wiped her tears with his handkerchief. The eldest lady held down the handkerchief and held her hand at the same time.

    "Afterwards, Xiumei negotiated terms with me. For a long time, she was close to me and helped me a lot, but as the children grew up, this affection gradually disappeared. But before I didn't deny Xinchuan, she was not too much. Since I canceled Xinchuan's inheritance qualification, she has become like this. In fact, I can understand her feelings. 'Man, all hope is on the child. The thing she has always been sure of has suddenly changed. If it is me, I will go crazy too. Except for the difference in status, both she and Qiaoyun are the same as me. Given to the bankers, they are all poor people with their dead husbands and their children, so why bother them too much?"

    "Mother, you have a good heart and put yourself in their shoes, but they don't necessarily have such kind hearts. They just bully you with a good heart, so they dare to confront you openly." Qin Tian sighed.

    The second concubine is still the third concubine, one looks fierce and the other weak, but in fact they are essentially the same.

    Bullying good and fearing evil.

    Such people are to show them evil!

    "You're right..." The eldest wife clenched Qin Tian's hand, "No rules and no rules, I'm also responsible for what happened today, it's fortunate that I have you this time, otherwise, they will have Mr. Hu's family. Helping us may be a complete loss, but from now on, just do what you want, I believe in you."

    She believed that she would not go too far. She knew that Qin Tian was actually a very kind-hearted girl.

    "It's better to split up." Zhuang Xinyan wrote on the side, "After this matter, they may agree to split up."

    "Of course it's best to separate the family!" The eldest wife nodded, "I'll find an opportunity to talk to Xiumei after a while."

    Juxiangyuan

    "Separate? Unless I die!" The second concubine cried hysterically, lying on the 'bed'.

    Beside the bed, Liu Bijun was so frightened that she took three steps back, patted her chest and said, "Mother, what are you doing so loudly? I'm not doing it for everyone's sake. Now Xinchuan..." She glanced back and sat next to her. The depressed Zhuang Xinchuan showed a little contempt in his eyes, "Now that it is impossible for Xinchuan to become the head of the house, mother, you have been deprived of the power of the housekeeper. Isn't it better than looking at people's faces here?"

    The second concubine was so angry that she propped herself up, but accidentally touched the wound, her face deformed in pain, she pointed at Liu Bijun: "Why for everyone's good, not for yourself? You simply dislike Xinchuan's identity as a concubine!" She sneered, "Let me tell you, marrying a 'chicken' follows a 'chicken', and marrying a dog follows a dog. Since you are married to Xinchuan, what other way is there to go other than with Xinchuan?" , she certainly would not use this tone to speak to the god-in-law's daughter-in-law's 'wife', but she has suffered many setbacks today, and she has long been suffocated.

    Liu Bijun's face changed slightly, and he sneered: "No matter the family, when will the money owed to my mother's family be repaid?"

    The second concubine was so choked that she almost couldn't breathe back.

    "Xinchuan, you just watched your daughter-in-law's 'wife' contradict your mother like this?" the second concubine screamed.

    Liu Bijun shouted: "What mother, the eldest young 'milk' 'milk' just said, but it's just an aunt!" As soon as the voice fell, Zhuang Xinchuan rushed to her side and slapped her, Liu Bijun covered his face and cried, "Zhuang Xinchuan, You useless man, how dare you hit me!" After speaking, he ran out crying.

    Hearing her words, Zhuang Xinchuan blushed and clenched his fists.

    "I can't split the family..." The second concubine on the 'bed' suddenly burst into tears. "If you split the family, you really have no hope. The property of the banker should belong to you. Why can you only get 30%? I don't believe us. I just lost, I don't believe it!" The second concubine beat the pillow with her hand.

    "It's actually very easy to turn a defeat into a victory!" Zhuang Mingxi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up. She walked over to Zhuang Xinchuan and said coldly, "They only have one Qin Tian. If you knock her down, they will become toothless tigers!"
