"Okay, now let's talk about the problem of counterfeiting Xiao's fruit wine and cans. As early as last year, there were many unknown fruit wines and cans with the Xiao's trademark on them, pretending to be the Xiao's brand and selling them. This It has brought us a lot of trouble, and now that one year has passed, I’m afraid there will be more this year.”
Jiang Sihai, Steward Wang and the steward of the Kong family nodded deeply. A big tree attracts wind, and those who buy fake wine and cans will only cause trouble for them.
Although they tried their best to explain and provide evidence many times, troubles kept coming one after another. If you report it to the official, the government can't do that much.
Over time, there were rumors that they were selling fake wine.
Xiao Ming discussed several plans with several people regarding this matter. The stewards of the Lin family and the stewards of the Kong family hurriedly left as soon as they came out of the study. They wanted to pass the news to their boss in a timely manner.
As soon as Xiao Ming left the study, he was caught by Xiao Yu: "Auntie, why did you go in for so long? You promised me that you would accompany me to fish for lobsters. It is getting dark today and there are no more lobsters."
Xiao Yu pulled Xiao Ming with an unhappy look on his face. His aunt finally came back and she had to deal with things without accompanying him. He hadn't seen his aunt for a long time.
Seeing the resentful look on Xiao Yu's face, Xiao Ming was amused. He was not surprised to have several large pots of lobsters at home. He would only be happy if he had to go fishing in the river: "It doesn't matter. If you missed fishing for lobsters, we won't miss eating lobsters!" Let’s go catch lobsters! Let Godmother cook them and eat them.”
"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded happily again, saying that it didn't matter whether he was fishing or catching, as long as he was with his aunt, he was happy.
"Let's go!" Xiao Ming casually took two small branches, gave one to Xiao Yu, and kept the other for herself. She planned to use it to catch lobsters. When one branch came down, bunches of lobsters came up. This is also very interesting, but Xiao Yu doesn't care about her twigs. He is brave and likes to catch them with his bare hands, and he is not afraid of hurting his hands with pliers.
"Aunt, please take me with you next time you go to the capital, okay? My uncle won't take me with him when he travels, and you won't take me with you when you go to the capital. It would be pitiful to leave me alone at home." Xiao Yu mouthed along the way. The chattering was non-stop, including being resentful of Xiao Han for not taking him with him when he left, and also complaining about him when Xiao Ming left home for the capital.
Why is he lonely at home alone...
Why is it so pitiful for him to be alone with no relatives and no reason...
A lot of chirping.
Xiao Ming: "..."
If this baby were in modern times, he would be a left-behind child!
However, what she heard from Yi's mother and godmother was another meaning.
Go up a tree to dig out bird eggs, catch wild ducks in the woods, go down to the river to fish for a bath, and even catch a snake and roast it...
In short, during the days when Xiao Ming left, a certain boy had already become too slippery to describe.
It's true that if you don't fight for a day, you can go to the house and uncover the tiles.
Listening to a certain boy's endless chatter, Xiao Ming resisted the urge to touch her forehead. She felt that she had raised this boy crookedly. How could she be worthy of her dead brother and sister-in-law!
No, you need to strengthen discipline.
Poor Xiao Yu had no idea what kind of dire straits he would be in in the future. At this time, he was happily dragging his aunt to catch lobsters in the small pond in the backyard.
At night, Jiang Sihai and Yueniang had dinner at Xiao's house and were not in a hurry to go back. Yueniang sat next to Mrs. Song, changing her sitting position from time to time, and looking at Jiang Sihai from time to time. Her pretty face was slightly red and shy, which aroused Mrs. Song kept asking questions with her eyes, looking at her daughter and son-in-law strangely, wondering, could it be that these two couples were quarreling?
What if there was a quarrel? Ms. Song was a little embarrassed. As a mother, it was better for her to interfere too much in the marriage of her daughter. At most, she could only advise her daughter.
When husband and wife quarreled, she could only persuade her daughter not to do it. However, her son-in-law, Yueniang, always loved her, and she didn't have a concubine at home, nor did she go out to look for flowers. Why did they quarrel?
Song was puzzled.
Could it be that my daughter is making her lose her temper? Thinking of this, Ms. Song couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but in front of Jiang Sihai, she couldn't help but ask questions.
Under the scorching gaze of his mother-in-law, Jiang Sihai also sat nervously. When he saw Xiao Ming stepping into the door, he stood up and said in a panic: "Mom, Yueniang, I'm going out for a walk."
After saying that, he strode out without even bothering to greet Xiao Ming.
"Hey!" Mrs. Song was surprised and wanted to say hello, but she had to rush to see Jiang Sihai's disappearing back.
It's all like this, something must be wrong.
Mrs. Song was so anxious that she tugged on the hem of Yueniang's clothes and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you two? Are you playing a little temper to make my uncle angry? Mom tells you, you have to curb your little temper. What a good-tempered person..."
"Mom, it's okay~" Yueniang defended with a blushing face, her voice was like the chirping of mosquitoes, and her face became even redder.
"I just want to ask my sister to take my pulse. I haven't been feeling well these days."
"Ah! What's wrong with you? Tell mother quickly, is it because the disease caused by confinement in the past has returned?" Mrs. Song asked Yueniang a little anxiously. She didn't even care about Jiang Sihai's departure, and hurriedly stood up to pull Xiao Ming.
"Ming girl, let your sister take a look." Madam Song was anxious. The disease that her daughter suffered during confinement is a lifelong matter. Yueniang was sold by her master after giving birth to a child when she was young, and her health did not get better. She has been recuperating, and her body bones have always been weak, so that if Yueniang is slightly unwell, Mrs. Song will worry for several days.
By this time, Madam Song no longer worried about her daughter losing her temper. Instead, she complained that Jiang Sihai was not considerate enough and that his wife was not feeling well, but he left in a hurry.
Did she misjudge her?
"No, mother." Yueniang defended in a low voice. She started to speak but hesitated several times. She felt a little hard to speak, so she had to look at Xiao Ming as if asking for help.
"Don't worry, godmother, maybe it's a good thing." Xiao Ming smiled to appease Mrs. Song's worried mood.
"What good thing can happen if you're not feeling well?" Mrs. Song was so anxious that she almost shed tears, and didn't understand the implication of Xiao Ming's words at all.
"Being unwell doesn't necessarily mean you're sick. It could be..." Xiao Ming looked at Mrs. Song. They are all people who have been there, you know.
This time, Mrs. Song's mind finally became clearer, and she looked at Xiao Ming blankly. She had experienced it, so of course she could understand, but Xiao Ming had said that Yueniang would be difficult in her life~
After a while, Xiao Ming felt Yueniang's pulse, and after confirming what she was thinking, she laughed: "Congratulations to the godmother, congratulations to the eldest sister, the eldest sister is very happy, but it's only less than two months, so you have to pay more attention."
"Ah!" Ms. Song was completely dumbfounded and stood blankly aside without knowing any reaction, while Yueniang became even more excited after getting the affirmative answer.
The delay in menstruation and the various reactions in the past two months made her speculate, but she couldn't believe it when she thought of her broken body. Finally, with Jiang Sihai's persuasion, she gathered the courage to ask Xiao Ming to take a pulse. .
Unexpectedly, she actually had it.
