Chapter 67 Let her live in the house converted from a toilet

Chen Qingyin took Hu Mianmian shopping.

At the Hu family, everyone was still discussing where to live.

Linlang had just left, and in her absence, the Hu family had no scruples when discussing the matter.

Everyone was very happy to learn that Hu Lan had another house outside.

Especially Old Madam Hu, she never expected that her daughter Hu Lan was so capable.

It turns out that he already had his own house outside.

Mr. Hu immediately decided: "Then what are we waiting for? If Lan'er's house is habitable, we will move in in the next two days."

Hu Lan felt unwell, and patted her chest gently while saying, "You can go and live here, but I have to say this in advance. With our current status, we definitely can't take care of those maids."

Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu looked at each other.

Couldn't help but sigh.

The Hu family was in such a state. They were already worried about repaying the money to the court, so how could they afford to hire a maid?

Mr. Hu called the housekeeper.

"Explain the truth to the maids and servants, and dismiss those who should be dismissed. Only two people should be left to serve each person. As for me, Aunt Gao is enough."

When Grandma Gao's name was called, her face froze. No matter how unwilling she was in her heart, she could only pretend to be happy on the surface.

The Hu family was on the verge of decline, and Old Madam Hu didn't like her. If she didn't leave now, when would she leave?

Unfortunately, Mr. Hu asked her to stay. If she wanted to leave, it might not be that easy, so she could only agree for the time being.

The housekeeper went to send away the maids and servants.

Hu Lan continued, "Since I don't have a maid, my status is different now than before, so I can't be without someone to serve me."

Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Hu Lan raised her head slightly, feeling somewhat proud.

She said, "I won't hide it from my parents. In fact, I have already pledged my life to the third son of the Zhang family, the son of the Minister of Revenue, and he has also said that he will not marry anyone else but me."

"This extra house was given to me by him to express his love. It is thanks to him that we have a place to stay."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she immediately smiled happily.

"Lan'er, you are really capable. The Minister of Revenue must be a close official to the emperor, right? Oh! It's incredible. If you can marry him, wouldn't you be able to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix? Great, great, it's really great!"

Liang Ruosheng felt a little suspicious after hearing this.

The third son of the Zhang family? How come she remembered that he was a concubine's son?

However, some illegitimate children in wealthy families are raised better than legitimate sons.

It all depends on whether the concubine's concubine is favored.

Maybe Hu Lan really did climb up the ladder.

Hu Lan smiled proudly: "So we have dismissed the maids now. When I go to live there, I will not be able to have no one to serve me. Since my parents are following me, they have to find a way to take care of me. My food, clothing and other expenses cannot be better than now, but they can't be worse than now!"

Mr. Hu frowned, and just as he felt something was wrong, Mrs. Hu clapped her thighs and calmed down.

"Don't worry about this. You are the backbone of our family now. We will cooperate with you until you marry into the Zhang family."

Mr. Hu looked at her and said, "Who are you going to arrange to serve her? Aunt Gao is definitely not suitable."

Old Madam Hu couldn't help but give him a blank look.

"Look how nervous you are. I'm not happy to have a bitch like Madam Gao serve my daughter," said Old Madam Hu, pursing her lips. "Isn't Yunyan there? She can take care of Lan'er."

Liang Yunyan, who was named, was originally holding Rong'er and was worried about her son's future.

The Hu family was in decline, and her son's status was no longer noble.

Hearing what Old Madam Hu said, Liang Yunyan looked up in astonishment: "Me? Old Madam, you want me to serve the Second Young Miss?"

"Why? Don't you want to?" Old Madam Hu glared, "You have to understand clearly, my son Yunshen originally had a happy family, and he could have just brought back your child Rong'er, but he brought you and your daughter back as well. Now that our Hu family is in trouble, it's time for you to repay us!"

"You can't live in my house for nothing, can you? It's your duty to serve Lan'er. If you dare to say no, you'll be in big trouble when Yun Shen gets out of prison!"

Liang Yunyan was scolded by Mrs. Hu and felt wronged and unwilling.

She was also the daughter of a good and honest family, and becoming a mistress from the beginning was already a concession.

Now I have to do what only maids do!

The Hu family is really a bully.

But she didn't dare to say anything now. Liang Yunyan had nothing and had to rely on the Hu family for everything.

Hu Lan took a sip of tea to suppress the nausea and discomfort in her stomach.

She said, "Now that the servants have been decided, we can decide on the courtyard next."

Mrs. Hu said hurriedly, "I still want a big yard."

Hu Lan said to her fiercely, "Mom! What big yard? You are just dreaming. My house is even smaller than the one we lived in before. It only has three yards."

"What? So small!" Old Madam Hu was used to a wealthy life and was no longer accustomed to living in that small house.

Hu Lan counted on her fingers: "The biggest courtyard must be given to me. When my Sanlang comes, he will have a place to drink tea and talk with me."

"There are two yards left. You can divide them among yourselves, mother!"

Mr. Hu immediately said, "Then I will take Aunt Gao and live in the same courtyard."

Old Madam Hu was so angry that her teeth were itching. She swept her cold eyes over Mr. Hu and Madam Gao.

If the Hu family hadn't been in trouble, she would have already taken action to deal with this Grandma Gao.

But now the Hu family is short of people to serve, so Grandma Gao will keep her for the time being!

Old Madam Hu said, "Then I will choose the remaining courtyard, and Rong'er will come with me."

Liang Yunyan asked hurriedly: "What should I do?"

"You?" Old Madam Hu answered casually, "You live with me, and I'll give you a side room. At this time, just make do with whatever you want! Don't be so picky."

No matter how wronged Liang Yunyan felt, she didn't dare to say anything and could only swallow her anger.

She suddenly remembered that Chen Qingyin didn't have a yard yet.

"What about Chen Qingyin and her daughter?"

It can't be that she lives in a small room and Chen Qingyin can still live comfortably, right?

Old Madam Hu looked at Hu Lan and asked her to make the decision.

Hu Lan frowned, "There's no room here. The two servants' side rooms are already full... Oh, there's a toilet that was converted into a warehouse. It's empty. Just put some furniture in there and let her live there!"

Aunt Gao hesitated: "Will the eldest lady not agree?"

"Just don't tell her!" Hu Lan answered casually.

Mr. Hu nodded: "Then listen to Lan'er, start packing today, and move out tomorrow."

Liang Yunyan laughed secretly in her heart.

The haze of being treated differently just now was swept away.

She wanted to see if Chen Qingyin could still be as dignified and graceful as a lady from a wealthy family while living in a courtyard converted from a toilet.
