His attitude was extremely respectful and less of the same attitude he had just dealt with.
An Hongshao was not in a hurry to get him up. Although he was taking care of the house these days, it was the first time he had interacted with a shop outside. Such a big shopkeeper was kneeling in front of him. An Hongshao was lying when he said he was not touched. But now, she has to tell herself to stay steady, with a calm expression on her face.
The hand holding the handkerchief rotated the cup. After a long time, she sighed softly, "It's not that I want to embarrass the shopkeeper. It's just that as an old man, you still make such mistakes, which really surprises me."
He waved his hand casually, "Next time, just remember to ask someone to come over and let me take a look."
An Hongshao was just unhappy just because of the shopkeeper, and now he had to do business.
The shopkeeper lowered his head and responded quickly.
Although this is the main hall of the big house, there are only women in the big house, so the outside husband has to stay outside.
Waiting for someone to come over, for a while, the tea cup was refilled with tea.
When the man came in, he didn't dare to raise his head and quickly knelt on the ground. His actions were just like what the shopkeeper said, and he looked like an honest man.
"The most taboo thing when working in other people's homes is unclean hands and feet." An Hongshao scolded.
The man's already curved spine was bent even lower now. He kept kowtowing, "I'm guilty of this, I'm guilty of this."
The shopkeeper on the side looked a little distressed and his eyes were slightly red, but he was beaten by An Hongshao just now and he didn't dare to plead for mercy now.
An Hongshao raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li was only concentrating on sipping tea and seemed to have no intention of speaking.
An Hongshao pursed her lips and thought in her mind. It seemed that this man knew how to measure things. At this time, he kept admitting his mistake and did not defend himself.
An Hongshao cleared her throat, "If something like this happened, I should have turned you over to the police, but for the sake of the Lian family, I'll give you a chance to atone."
Anyone who can get close to the shopkeeper would definitely not be the lowest-ranking long-term worker, so An Hongshao asked him to do the lowest-ranking job. He only moved wood and was only paid for his strength. The monthly salary was only the lowest.
The man was not displeased and kept kowtowing, "Thank you very much, my dear boss, for your kindness. Thank you very much for your kindness, my boss."
The voice was choked with sobs, probably feeling lucky to survive the disaster.
An Hongshao waved his hand, saying that the matter had been concluded and asked people to leave.
Waiting for people to leave, An Hongshao, who was sitting in front of the chair just now, picked up the hem of her skirt and walked to Mrs. Li, "Mom, can I arrange it well this time?"
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, "Liancai, the shopkeeper, you should give me face as much as you need, so you can kill two birds with one stone. As for Changgong, even though he was spared, the menial work he did every day also made everyone happy every day. You can see that if you make a mistake, you should be punished.”
An Hongshao smiled proudly, "That's not all. My daughter has thought of a way to make a fortune."
After speaking, he couldn't help but lower his voice.
Mrs. Li nodded as she listened, her eyes full of admiration, "Seeing that you have made such progress, my mother will be able to feel more at ease when I go to Lian's house in a few days."
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. All these days of hard work have not been in vain.
After breakfast, the person below brought the menu. Tomorrow's banquet had to be prepared in advance. An Hongshao frowned slightly and tried hard to recall Lian Zhong's favorite meals.
To be precise, it's a hard guess.
After midnight, An Hongshao went to the big kitchen in person and watched them cooking for a while, telling everyone in the An family to pay attention to attending the banquet tomorrow.
As soon as An Hongshao left, the old lady's people came over and asked Li to come over.
After resting for a while, the old lady's energy has recovered, and she will talk to Mr. An from time to time to comfort her son.
An Xinyou was beaten so badly that it stopped for a while.
On the old lady's side, because it was cold today, the door curtains were hung up twice, so no wind could get through the house.
Although the old lady was still thinking of ways to comfort Mr. An, it was a huge blow to the old lady. Now she is in poor health and even more afraid of the wind than before. Her face is a little gray, there is no visible blood, and her hair is white on the temples. A lot has been added.
"Mother." Mrs. Li greeted her according to the rules.
The old lady hummed, and the eighteen rosary beads she used to hold in her hand were now replaced by one hundred and eight long hanging beads.
It seems that if you recite the Buddha's name too much, Mr. An's health will improve.
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Li, then closed her eyes again, without stopping the beads in her hand, "The Lian family will be settled tomorrow. How many people will come?"
"It's okay for the second young master to come here by himself." According to the rules, this kind of thing should only be done by the juniors.
The eldest son is already married, so he must go to his father-in-law's house.
The old lady thought about it again and again, "Ming Ming has to accompany me, but there are always fewer people on my own. Xin You's side."
The old lady let out a long sigh, fearing that she might not be able to get on the stage.
When a man is so stupid that he dares to beat his father, how can he expect him to care about the An family's face?
Moreover, this is a small banquet, and it is not worthy of inviting someone to accompany the ancestors of the family. After all, the only person left is the young cousin who is fostered in the second room.
But for the Zhang family, the old lady really hates them. If something happened to the family, they should be kicked out. But An Hongye did that disgusting thing. The old lady always felt that she had been wronged, so she kept them. Until now.
The old lady has been thinking about this for two or three days, but she still hasn't come up with a good idea.
Mrs. Li instantly understood what the old lady meant. The old lady wanted to drive people away, but she felt very sorry about it.
"Mom, after all, I am my younger brother and sister's biological family. It is still up to my younger brother and sister to decide how to stay. If mother can be trusted, my daughter-in-law is willing to go and talk to her younger siblings in person."
Upon hearing Li's words, the old lady opened her eyes suddenly and smiled reluctantly, "I knew you were capable. As members of the Pan family, we don't have to worry about it. I'm so worried right now." But what should I do?”
This was probably breaking the bones and connecting the meridians. The old lady was very angry at the time, but after these days, her rationality gradually returned. After all, it was the only root of the An family, and she could not let it go.
The old lady will be soft-hearted, and Mrs. Li has been prepared for it. She is thinking now that she will entertain Lian as scheduled tomorrow, and when Lian goes away as scheduled, she will have a way to let the old lady know what despair means.
Moreover, it was impossible for her to tell the truth and let others know that she had done it herself.
She wants to give her daughter a good reputation.
Li Shi pretended to be deep in thought, and then said after a moment, "Xin You, I'm afraid we can't rush to discuss marriage, but we can raise a few more girls, now."
Li paused and said, "Now my brother-in-law doesn't want to go out. The money at home is enough to provide him with ten or eight wives."
