"Then who will do all the work in the house? You can't do it. You are the head of the family. If we let you do it, we won't be struck by lightning!"
Old man Xiao sighed and said
"I've also thought about it. I saw that Yanzi has found a good husband, and the fourth child can also benefit from it. From now on, life can only be better and better!
When the fourth child passes the examination, we will become eunuchs. Sooner or later, we will have to be taken care of by someone. Why not get used to it first? Now find someone to take care of you, and cultivate the attitude of a master and a wife!
Don’t worry when the time comes, the fourth child’s colleagues will laugh at us, the nouveau riche! "
Speaking of the Liu family, Mrs. Xiao thought of Xie Yushu.
When Xie Yushu hired Mrs. Liu with money, she actually laid out the old lady's profile for a few days when Mrs. Liu was here. Because of this, when Xie Yushu left, she was reluctant to pay for it, so she resigned Mrs. Liu. Got it!
But it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Once they are used to being served, suddenly there is no one to serve them. Mrs. Xiao and others feel that they have no status. They are heartbroken and uncomfortable, so they intensify their efforts to order Li. Family and peach blossom!
This series of trouble was finally caused!
Nowadays, I can’t even live a day without anyone to serve me!
Mrs. Xiao thought about how her family would get better and better in the future, and then thought about the comfortable life of being taken care of by others, so she gritted her teeth and agreed!
Said to old man Xiao
"Please, please! You pay! I still have to keep this little money for retirement!"
But I have to make an agreement with her, it’s still two hundred coppers a month! "
When Old Man Xiao heard that he agreed with Mrs. Liu's coming, he immediately felt happy and didn't care about the money at all.
Moreover, Liu had already agreed to an increase to four hundred copper coins!
And he pretended to ask Xiao Yan to find Mrs. Liu, and asked Mrs. Liu to make dinner later!
To talk about why Old Xiao dared to raise money for the Liu family without telling Mrs. Xiao, we have to start with Xiao Dayong splitting the money box.
Ever since the cabinet and money box at home were smashed by Xiao Yi, the money has been separated by Old Man Xiao!
Including Xiao Yan's betrothal gift, the mountain goods sold by Old Man Xiao and the money deducted from Xiao Yi, it was only fifty taels.
The twenty taels of silver used to study for Xiao Yuanhang had already been taken away by Xiao Yuanhang!
The remaining twenty taels were sent back with Xiao Yan and were given to Xiao Yan for safekeeping! (They are really afraid that this money will be used by Xiao Dayong to marry Qingsong Qingbai!)
In addition, Xiao Dayong took away five taels to find a wife for Qingsong. This matter was brought to the ancestral hall. Even the village chief knew that he would not take them back, otherwise everyone in the village would drown them both!
There are only six taels of silver and more than eight hundred copper plates left!
One or two taels of this money will be left over to host a banquet for Xiao Yan's wedding, and the remaining couple will carry half in their wallets with them.
It really scared Xiao Dayong!
Because of this, Old Man Xiao also has a certain degree of financial freedom, so how much money he gives to Mrs. Liu, as long as Mrs. Liu doesn't tell her, Mrs. Xiao doesn't know.
As for Liu, naturally she wouldn't say anything.
When Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Yan going to see Mrs. Liu, her heart ached suddenly again, alas! It will cost another 200 copper coins a month!
Even though he didn’t get it from her, it was still her family’s money!
Old Mrs. Xiao took out the small purse and counted it again, and hid it close to her body. The money was gone, and Old Mrs. Xiao held it tighter. She would not let go of her share until she died!
At this time, I thought of Xie Yushu again. If she was here, why would they have to pay for it themselves?
But thinking of Xie Yushu, she was also very angry!
Taking money from her hands is also very painful!
That little hoof has big ideas!
I made a lot of money from selling medicinal materials and kept it for myself. I spent money lavishly on this and that. I even got a freeloader to support me. I asked her for money to send my fourth child to school. I had to write some bullshit guarantee letter. Not much. God is going back again, you damn little bitch, let’s see how I can live if I have to go back this time!
Mrs. Xiao is a typical little girl who dislikes people's poverty, is afraid of their wealth, and doesn't like people's kindness.
If Xie Yushu was divorced by her and lived in poverty and was beaten three times a day, she would definitely feel refreshed!
However, when Widow Liu was working, she heard her cursing Xie Yushu. She rolled her eyes and said:
"I heard a few days ago that Xie Yushu seems to have opened a medical clinic in the city. She came back about a month ago and bought clothes and jewelry for her mother and her mother. That silver hairpin and silver bracelet! But! Looks great!
She also taught her father and her second uncle how to skewer candied haws and sell them. Now they have money coming in every day and their life is prosperous!
Moreover, in about ten days, her eldest brother Xie Tianlin will get married, and his days seem to be about the same as those of you Yanzi!
Oops, there are only a few good days in a month anyway, so of course you have to choose auspicious days.
Then she and her two brothers who are on duty will have to come back!
Tsk tsk! If someone in this family works as a yamen official, it means they have face!
My second aunt's in-laws are cousins to Lao Xie's family. This time I heard that they are going to double their shareholding, which shows that they are close relatives!
Hey! Anyway, my life was going well!
With her own little thoughts, Widow Liu certainly didn’t want Mrs. Xiao to live comfortably!
Old Mrs. Xiao didn't know that she had been poached by Widow Liu. When Widow Liu said that Xie Yushu and their family were living a prosperous life, she felt bad immediately!
Especially when I think of the way Xie Yushu bargained with me and beat Xie Yujiao and Xiao Yan, it was so similar to the way Li beat Xiao Damei!
She said that Mrs. Li had been like a dumpling for half her life, and Xiao Dayong was too honest to kick him, so why did he suddenly dare to challenge her!
It turned out that I learned it from Xie Yushu!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao became even more angry. Little Lang Hoo had already gotten out of here and was still causing trouble for me!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao felt uncomfortable even in the joints of her bones, and her food no longer tasted good!
Why should Xie Yushu, a rag and wild hooves who was divorced by her husband's family, still live a good life, but the little wild hooves that no one wants should be sold to an old widower and beaten three times a day!
How dare the Xie family keep a divorced woman at home?
Maybe she thought she would give her some benefits and forget about such a big shame. Who knows where she got the money to buy things!
No, I have to reveal her true colors!
Old Mrs. Xiao's anger in recent days seemed to have found a place to vent. With a goal, Old Mrs. Xiao just got up from the kang, put on her shoes and went out.
When Mrs. Liu saw that Mrs. Xiao was gone, she also dropped her work and went to find Mr. Xiao.
Mrs. Liu was sweet-mouthed, serving tea and water, squeezing her face and slapping her back, and praising Old Man Xiao for how he understood things, had far-sightedness, and cultivated the only scholar in the village. After a while, Old Man Xiao was beaming with smiles. , paid one month’s monthly payment in advance!
