After Xie Yushu finished speaking, she went back to the house and took out four pieces of cloth measuring more than one meter, and said
"The two green pieces are for my parents, the lavender piece is for my sister-in-law to make clothes for, and the remaining piece is for my fourth brother's family."
Xiao Yan saw that the lilac color given to her was pretty good-looking, so she put it away with satisfaction without making a sound.
Xie Yushu originally thought that she could send these people away for peace of mind.
But she underestimated the shamelessness of a shameless person. The next second, Xie Yujiao asked angrily.
"Hey, there are two of us, so why don't you give me a piece!"
"This piece is over six feet long, enough to make two short shirts!"
"We are a scholar on a long voyage, so we must wear long robes!"
"That's your own business! I'm a new sister-in-law, and I can't care about my brother-in-law wearing long and short shirts!"
Xie Yujiao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanhang. Instead, he took a step forward, raised his hands to Xie Yushu and said
"I couldn't forgive you for what happened before.
Now that you are married to my second brother, we can be considered a family. I was impulsive just now and spoke too hastily. I will make amends to my second brother and sister-in-law.
Having said that, my second brother and I are biological brothers. Broken bones and tendons are connected. If I get better in the future, my second brother will naturally get better too. Second sister-in-law, you see, in these days, every family is living a tight life. It’s also hard to borrow money.
Can you lend me some money first? I'll hand it over to Shu Xiu first, and I'll pay it back to you when I get some food back home! "
It took more than a year for me to apologize for what I had done previously. Who would be disgusted by it now?
I really thought the original owner was so proud of him!
When people look forward rather than behind, Xie Yushu got angry when she saw his dog-like attitude. She was too lazy to pretend and spoke rudely.
"What happened in the past? What happened between you and Xie Yujiao without a matchmaker? That's your business, what does it have to do with me!
I said I had no money! "
"You, why are you so rude and dirty!"
Xiao Yuanhang's face turned red, and Xie Yujiao also screamed
"What are you talking about without a matchmaker? You're farting. Brother Yuan and I really love each other. Brother Yuan doesn't like you, so you slander us! A petty person like you deserves to have the engagement annulled!"
"It's really interesting. People who do things don't think it's dirty, but I just say it and it's dirty?
My engagement was annulled because someone was shameless and unscrupulous, and got involved with my future wife and sister, and someone did anything to seduce my future brother-in-law. I have been unlucky enough to be involved with you two for eight lifetimes, and I became a victim.
By the way, you two perpetrators, why do you have such a big face to come to me to ask for things and borrow money? "
"Yes! What they did was unethical. If the old lady hadn't solved it in time, Xie Yujiao would have been in a pig cage!"
"That is, if someone files a lawsuit, Xiao Xiucai will lose his reputation as a scholar!"
"Shameless, if I want to have a daughter like this, I'll kill her!"
The onlookers whispered.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Mrs. Xiao was afraid that if she continued talking, it would have a bad impact on Zhao Yuanhang, so she said loudly
"I broke off the marriage to Xie Yushu because Xie Yushu's bad horoscope made us distant, so I replaced her with Xie Yujiao.
It's just that there was a severe drought at that time, and I was busy carrying water to protect the crops, which delayed the divorce. I can't blame Yuan Er. If anyone keeps talking nonsense, I will never end it with her! "
Old Mrs. Xiao was cunning and aggressive. Although she had never taken advantage of Xie Yushu, she was invincible in the village against a village woman who didn't know kung fu!
When she said this, many people shut up and just watched the excitement. There was no point in letting this shrew catch her and bite her. Why not just say it after dinner?
"Okay, let's disperse! Save some face for yourself!"
Village chief Xiao Zhengde sighed.
"Uncle Village Chief, I think our Yuanhang is right. In these days, how can money be so easy to borrow?
Why not let the second brother lend it to Yuanhang first, and then pay him back later when he has the money!
Brothers are always easier to talk to than outsiders! Can you please tell me if this is true? "
Mrs. Xiao is using Xiao Zhengde to pressure Xie Yushu and the others.
Xiao Zhengde knew clearly in his heart that borrowing money would be like beating a dog with meat buns and there would be no return. How could he be willing to help them open the door? He immediately replied
"Didn't the second brother say that all the money has been spent?
You can go to a bank in town to borrow it, and the interest rate isn’t too high! "
"Oh my god, why isn't Liuli's profit high?
If you borrow one tael of silver, you have to give someone sixty copper plates a year. For ten taels of silver, you have to give someone six hundred copper plates. Six hundred copper plates are enough to buy two days of food! And ten taels is not enough!
My brother has this, so how can he spend money to borrow it? "
Xiao Zhengde frowned and said
"Don't the tuition fees of the county school be paid every six months? And this year, in response to the Holy Father's call for tax reduction and exemption, the county school has exempted half of the tuition fees. How come ten taels are not enough! Isn't five taels enough!"
Xiao Yuanhang wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more money to spend, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhengde to know about the county school, and he felt guilty at the moment.
Then I remembered that Xie Yushu and the others passed by the county a few days ago and saw the announcement from the county school. Xiao Zhengde's son was also there. He must have gone home and told his father.
But he still said shamelessly
"There are pens, ink, paper, inkstones and food money. It costs more than ten taels a year at least, so in total, it only takes twenty taels!"
This is about half the amount of repairs this year, otherwise it would be at least thirty taels! "
"His! You spend thirty taels a year studying. You really think you are a child of a wealthy family!"
"I heard that my nephew's daughter-in-law and her brother used to spend seventeen or eighty taels a year to study, ten taels to study, and only five hundred coppers a month to eat. Sometimes I can save some, then The child is sensible and can get some money in exchange for copying books, so pens, ink, paper and inkstones basically don’t need to be paid from home!”
"That's right, there is a scholar next door to my eldest aunt. I heard that she is a leprosy student. She doesn't need to spend money on food. Twelve or thirty taels of silver a year is enough!"
"Yes, even if he is not a student, the scholar in Zhujia Village has similar conditions to the Xiao family. My sister is from their village. I heard that twenty taels a year is enough for him!
That is, it is not easy for us rural children to study. The whole family has to pay close attention to one child, so we can save as much as we can! "
"It doesn't sound like a lot to pay for a job, but you have to know that for us farmers, ten taels of silver is enough to feed a family of six for more than a year!"
After Xiao Yuanhang finished speaking, everyone started talking about it.
Xiao Zhengde couldn't listen anymore. Thinking of Xiao Dayong and Xiao Yi's life, he frowned and said
"We are all farmers, so try to save as much as you can! It's not easy for my family!"
"Yes, but studying is very expensive. When I become successful in the future, I will not treat my family badly! I also ask my uncle to tell my second brother and the others to help me!"
Mrs. Xiao also turned around and sat down on the ground.
"Anyway, I won't leave today unless they give money to the fourth son to study. I'm going to starve to death and get angry here. Xiao Yi and his wife are extremely unfilial. When the time comes, the fourth daughter-in-law, you go and sue him and have the county magistrate chop him down." Take away these two unfilial things and bury them with me!"
