"My father has said so, so just give me an accurate answer. Will you sell your son or not?"
Yu Laosan was usually afraid that his old woman was right, but he still wanted to save face in the face of major events. Now he would walk out of the crowd, dragging Mrs. Liu away, for fear that his mother-in-law would be temporarily distracted and say something about betraying her son. He already has a grandson. If it is rumored that he sold his son, he will never have the dignity to go out in the village in the future.
"Old man, what are you doing? My son was injured in a fall at the Su family. I won't leave until the Su family pays compensation."
Yu Laosan waved his hand and gave Mrs. Liu a big melon seed.
"Do you really want to sell your son? I'm telling you, I won't agree to it until my death. You give up on me!"
There is someone in the village who doesn't mind watching the excitement.
"Third uncle, you should have toughened up a long time ago, but you can't let outsiders look down on our Yu family."
"that is."
Yu Laosan's weakness and Liu's strength have always been one of the hot topics in Yujia Village. It was rare to see Yu Laosan so tough, and the juniors were booing in the crowd.
Being slapped unexpectedly, Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment. When she realized the fact that she had been slapped, she jumped up and rushed forward.
"You damn old man, I'll fight you!"
Mrs. Liu was slapped in front of the villagers, and naturally she couldn't lose her face. After a while, Yu Laosan's old face was scratched, and the villagers didn't care about the couple's fight, and just watched the fun.
What Su Yu said just now that she wanted to buy Yu Manjiang was just for Yu Laosan to hear. At this point, she didn't believe that Yu Laosan could still endure it. Sure enough, she forced him out.
At this time, the people who carried Yu Manjiang to Yu Jian came back.
"What are you doing? Why are there so many people?"
"How are Man Jiang's legs? Have you saved them?"
Yu Laoba touched his head.
"Man Jiang just got a scratch on his leg. It's not a big deal. The wound has been bandaged and the person has gone home. Who said his leg is crippled? He is fine. He can rest for two days and nothing will happen. .”
"The injury is not serious, why did you use the door panel to carry him away?"
"It looked serious at the time, and the injury was on the leg, so we carried him there, but we didn't think of Uncle Yu, who said it was just a minor problem. He just needed to go home and rest for two days. He usually eats more pigs. Just replenish the blood and replenish the blood.”
Yu Laosan and Mrs. Liu stopped fighting. Mrs. Liu couldn't keep her face at this moment. She kept shouting that her son's leg was broken and she wanted the Su family to pay for it. She didn't expect that it looked serious but was just a minor injury.
Mrs. Liu wanted to sneak away secretly, but how could Su Yu be willing to do it?
"Grandma Liu, you go back and tell Uncle Manjiang that he won't have to come again after the injury is healed. I will ask my father to pay him the salary in advance. The Su family cannot afford this person. I will pay for the missed work for these two days of rest." My family has also given it. In addition, my family is giving one tael of silver, which happens to be a witness for the uncles and aunts in the village. If Uncle Manjiang has something in the future, don't blame it on my Su family."
"It's natural. Don't worry, Su Yatou. With so many pairs of eyes watching, we will certainly testify to your family."
Su Yu turned his head and asked Su Laoer beside him.
"Dad, please calculate how many days Uncle Manjiang has been working at our house."
"Twenty-one days in total."
Thirty cash a day, plus two days of rest and lost wages, the total was 23 days. Su Yu calculated it in the blink of an eye, the total was 690 cash.
"Mom, give Grandma Liu one or two six hundred and ninety cents while the villagers are here, otherwise you will say that our family didn't give us the money."
"Hey, mom, go get it now."
Mrs. Lian was relieved at this time and simply responded and went back to the house to get the money.
Su Yu said these words, not knowing that he pushed Yu Manjiang to the forefront. After this incident, it was difficult for Yu Manjiang to find a job in the surrounding area. But so what, if it weren't for his blind filial piety, how could he have ended up like this.
Ms. Liu didn't feel anything was wrong, and she felt that one tael of silver was too little. She didn't notice anything wrong with the way the villagers looked at her.
Mrs. Lian quickly took the silver and left the house.
"Grandma Liu, please be clear and don't say the wrong amount of money comes home."
Mrs. Liu counted the money, and Yu Laosan left angrily.
With more than one tael of money, Ms. Liu didn't care about the little salary she earned in the Su family. She would just quit if she didn't want to, treating her son as a curiosity.
By the time the old couple got home, Yu Manjiang had already heard what happened from his younger daughter, how her grandma extorted more than a tael of money from the Su family. Yu Manjiang let his daughter go out to play, feeling indescribably sad, but he was a filial son and didn't know what to say to his mother.
When Mrs. Liu went back, she didn't even look at her eldest son. She went back to the house and hid more than a tael of money before going to sleep. She hadn't taken her nap yet. She was used to sleeping, and her body felt uncomfortable if she didn't sleep for a day.
Over at the Su family, both husband and wife felt that the extra money was well spent. After getting rid of such a big piece of dog-skin plaster, even the worries in the future have been solved.
"Dad, when the Liu family's ducks are taken back this time, next time we have ducklings, we won't give them to her family on credit. If you want to raise them, let her family buy them. I really can't trust a character like Liu's family. .”
"You're right. If you can't afford to offend someone, you can always hide away."
In fact, every village has its share of thorns, but Yujia Village is an exception. Yu Zheng returned to Yujia Village when he was six years old. At that time, Yu Zheng was famous for being naughty and mischievous. The thorny heads in the village suffered countless losses at his hands. Later, for some reason, several thorny heads left one after another. Yujiacun has never come back since. Because she was older and a woman, Ms. Liu did not have much contact with Yu Zheng. She did not offend Yu Zheng, so Ms. Liu escaped the disaster.
Su Yu didn't know about these, nor had he heard anyone mention them. He only thought that Yujia Village had a pretty upright atmosphere, and there weren't many idle people around.
After settling the matter with Mrs. Liu, Su Yu is now preparing to open a shop. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the shop opening can only be postponed until after the new year. Now we need to prepare more inventory. The cold weather is perfect for smoking bacon. When the time came, I went to Yu Jian's place and bought a lot of seasonings and some Yanba shochu. When the preparations were almost complete, I asked my father to order a pig from Gao Butcher to try it out. If the test was good, I would make more.
Fortunately, it doesn't rain in the middle of winter, so we can do it in the yard without building a shed or anything.
When Butcher Gao pulled a pig to Yujia Village in his own ox cart, the villagers were shocked.
"Lao Gao, where are you sending this pig to?"
"The Su family in your village ordered a pig from my house yesterday and asked me to kill it and deliver it early this morning."
What is the Su family doing? I haven't heard of any happy news. His house hasn't been built yet. What does buying a pig mean?
When Butcher Gao arrived at the Su family, the Su family had just finished breakfast.
"Second brother, I'm bringing pork."
The loud voice of the butcher Gao was heard in the yard. Su Laoer hurried out and was very satisfied when he saw the big fat pig on the bullock cart.
"Lao Gao, this pig is pretty good."
"That means I can still make you suffer."
"I just want to trouble you today. My daughter wants to make some bacon. You can help me change the knife."
"It's all small things. When I don't come here, I'll just take care of my own things."
