"No, this girl is very mean. I asked her not to buy it but she still bought it without paying attention to me at all." Mrs. Liu said angrily. Xiao Ming was cunning, as if he wanted to specifically oppose her and not buy from her. I actually went to buy it from Po An, and I didn’t know how much the banknote was. She was so angry.
"Then why are you still selling? You should have returned the money and brought the people back." Liu Fu was furious at his mother and brother.
"What?" Mrs. Liu was shocked. She reacted suddenly, slapped her thigh, and said angrily: "Oh, no, I'm going to redeem the person tomorrow. I can't give that girl any advantage."
"Forget it, it's all sold, don't go." Liu Fushun said helplessly. He didn't know what to make of it if his mother went there. Besides, he had new ideas about this matter.
"Son, didn't you say you fell in love with that girl from the Xiao family? You just happened to be back, and my mother is going to propose marriage to you." Mrs. Liu said happily, looking at her son's dress, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
"Yes, this method is good. The Xiao family has a lot of money. I don't know how much money they will sell for the two carts of vegetables that have been brought into the city these days. Also, the carriage came a few days ago and it can't pull anything away. I don’t even know what they sell anymore.” Liu Erlang agreed. It is well known that the Xiao family sells vegetables, and he has long been jealous of the Xiao family’s money and the Sanjin yard.
"Well, I know. Don't be too busy with this matter. I have my own arrangements." Liu Fushun said. He couldn't run away. Now that he has better choices in the city, why would he marry a daughter who lost her father as his official wife? .
"Still waiting, how many people are asking about her family now?" Mrs. Liu was dissatisfied, what would she do if the money she wanted to get was gone?
"That's right, third brother, this matter should be done sooner rather than later." Liu Erlang also advised.
Liu Fushun obviously didn't want to bring up this topic, so he asked his mother to take out the silver, and counted the silver in bits and pieces, which was only 125 taels, and more than 300 copper coins. Liu Fushun put all the silver in his arms. , and return the rest of the loose copper coins to my mother.
Liu Erlang looked anxious and said, "Why did you take them all away?"
"I'll take these first, and I have to find someone to borrow some. It's not enough."
"Whoever we ask to borrow money will lend us money now." Liu Erlang saw that all the white money went into his younger brother's pocket, and the boss was not satisfied.
"Then I will go to the city to borrow and sell a small yard first. My mother and I will move there first, and my second brother and second sister-in-law will take care of the house at home." Liu Fushun arranged. In his plan, no one in the family would go to the city. good.
Liu Erlang was about to object, but was interrupted by Wang Xiaohua who came in from the door. As soon as she entered, she heard that her brother-in-law borrowed money to buy a house in the city, and kicked them out without letting them go. This is really unreasonable.
"Why don't you go to the city? Erlang and I have earned this money hard. Brother-in-law, you earn a lot of money every month and you don't even give a cent to the family? Now you have to live in the city with this money." Go inside, there’s no way you can get rid of us.”
Wang Xiaohua put the leftovers she had brought back on the table, and sat down on a low stool with an angry look on her face. She had long been dissatisfied with her mother-in-law for pinching the money so hard that it looked like she was deducting it. Baogen's medicine fees were all gone. He was reluctant to give it. When his younger son came back, he would give him as much as he wanted. He would take money from home without even saying a word to her. She would do it quietly, guarding her against thieves.
"Yes, third brother, mother has always been taken care of by us. It would be better for us to take care of her, otherwise we would be worried." Liu Erlang said it more euphemistically, but he meant the same thing as Wang Xiaohua.
"To put it nicely, what kind of house can I buy in the city with these one hundred and two taels? I will have to borrow it when the time comes." Liu Fushun pretended to be helpless and waved his hands: "Besides, I want to marry you then." I have a wife and a child, and the small courtyard is crowded with us. If you follow me, you won’t even have room to stand."
"I don't care about that. Even if I buy a hut, I still want to live in it." Wang Xiaohua is stubborn and unreasonable, and she marries and makes trouble. Who doesn't want to live a good life?
"Marry a wife?" Liu Erlang heard another meaning, "Who are you going to marry? Why haven't you heard about it?"
"How can I rush to buy a house in the city if I don't marry a wife?"
"Fushun, didn't you say you wouldn't propose marriage?" Mrs. Liu was confused.
"It's not her." Liu Fushun looked at his sister-in-law and closed his mouth.
Mrs. Liu understood and yelled at Wang Xiaohua, who was eager to know the inside story: "You haven't gone to cook at any time. We are going to starve to death. You know how to be lazy in just one day. Why did our Liu family marry such a lazy and delicious woman like you?" "
"Mom, aren't I happy to see that my third brother is back? Besides, it's still early. We'll have dinner later." Wang Xiaohua declined, not wanting to leave. She was eager to know whose daughter she was. He asked his brother-in-law: "Third brother, please tell me whose daughter your daughter is, and my sister-in-law will propose marriage to you."
"It's none of your business, you don't want to eat dinner, right? If you don't cook dinner, don't eat it." Mrs. Liu threatened.
"Mom, I'll go right away." Wang Xiaohua immediately became honest when she heard that she didn't want to eat.
Mrs. Liu pointed to the leftovers on the table with satisfaction and said, "Heat the rice in the pot first, and then feed the pigs. Look, all the pigs at home have lost weight in the past few days."
Wang Xiaohua curled her lips and walked out of the room. Ever since she sold those two, all the work at home fell on her. She was very tired. After thinking about it, she couldn't give in. She was exhausted and had to do so much for the family. , while discussing things with money, he kicked her out again. What's the point? He put down the food in his hand and ran to the door to eavesdrop.
"She is the daughter of our boss. Once she buys a house, she will find someone to propose marriage." Liu Fushun explained with a proud look on his face.
When Liu Fushun said this, her mother and second brother were shocked. They all knew that his boss was one of the richest families in Pingcheng City and had branches selling furniture in Ping'an Town. So his daughter was a rich lady? When the hostess gets married, dowry money is indispensable.
Mrs. Liu thought about the days to come, when her son would marry the daughter of her employer and build a big mansion. Then she would ask her son to buy her a few maids to serve her, and live the life of an old lady in the city. She would finally be able to be proud of herself.
Liu Erlang had something completely different in mind. He knew that his boss had no sons, but if he married into the Liu family in the future, wouldn't all the business assistants belong to their Liu family? When the time comes when he helps his brother manage one or two households, he will become the big boss.
"Third brother, you can do it. You can even marry the daughter of your employer." Liu Erlang boasted.
"My son is great. If he's good-looking, he can't marry anyone. Xiao Ming is nothing." Mrs. Liu looked like a matter of course.
"Mom, second brother, don't talk about it before it's done," Liu Fushun reminded.
"I know." The two of them nodded, but it was unclear whether they listened or not.
"Will Xiao Ming still get married?" Mrs. Liu asked.
"Yes, this girl is good-looking, and her family has money. Although it is not as much money as your boss's, it would not be bad to take her as a concubine." Liu Erlang suggested, and his heart felt hot when he thought of Xiao Ming's face.
