Who is the meanest person in Jia family? How is it reflected?

When I read A Dream of Red Mansions, I found that two people were very stingy, one was the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, and the other was my wife, Li Wan.

So who is the meanest woman in a dream of red mansions? Wang Xifeng gave the answer in one sentence.

1. Wang Xifeng made a joke and pointed out Li Wan's meanness.

Feng smiled and said, "You are the eldest sister-in-law! I'll give you the girls with a needle and thread to study the rules. They are not good, you should persuade them. Now they can open a poetry club, spend a few dollars, and you don't care. Just the old lady, ma 'am. Used to be an old monarch. Your monthly income is 12 silver, which is twice that of us. The old lady and her wife also said that your widow is unemployed, pitiful and not enough, and another boy added twelve taels, which is equal to the old lady and her wife.

I will give you the garden land, and each of you will get the rent. By the end of the year, you will be up and down. There are always ten women, master and slave, and you are still eating and drinking in the yamen. From * * * *, there are four or five hundred pieces of silver a year. Now I can spend one or two hundred taels of silver with them every year. How long can it last? Everyone has come out, why not pay? Now you are afraid of spending money, and you instigate them to bother me. I am happy to eat a dry river and a dry ocean. I still don't know "

This sentence of Wang Xifeng seems to be a joke, but it points out her envy and dissatisfaction with her sister-in-law Li Wan. According to Wang Xifeng's calculation method, Li Wan's salary is twice that of Wang Xifeng. Together with her son Jia Lan's share, Li Wan's monthly salary is 220 taels of silver, which is equal to that of her mother-in-law Mrs. Wang. It serves to show Mrs. Wang's care for Li Wan.

It stands to reason that Wang Xifeng is the backbone of Guo Rongfu, and his salary should be higher than that of ordinary staff, but it is half less than that of Li Wan who is idle at home. Naturally, she was unbalanced. In addition, Li Wan took everyone to make a big fuss, just to hope that the poetry club would receive funding from the unit. Finally, Wang Xifeng had to promise fifty taels of silver, and the matter was settled. It serves to show Li Wan's meanness.

Second, Li Wan mocked Wang Xifeng in public to cover up her meanness.

Li Wan said with a smile, "Listen, when I said it, he went crazy, saying that two cars of hooligans and mud-legged urban experts should be careful and allocate two Jin." This thing was born in do miss, a noble family with a large number of books and poems. It was the same when he got married. He did it anyway. If he was born in a poor family and is a boy, he still doesn't know how to be a bad mouth! Everyone in the world has been set up by you! Thanks to your outstretched hand, just yesterday! Did the yellow soup fill the dog's stomach? Angry, I just want to give Pinger a hard time. When Li Wan heard what Wang Xifeng said, her face was a little anxious, so she taunted Wang Xifeng in public and embarrassed her. As a result, I had to ramble about Pinger to ridicule Wang Xifeng.
