Zhao Dashan and his wife didn't have time to stay long. One had a shop, and the other was busy going back to take office.
The two left in the joy of the villagers bidding farewell to Zhenting.
The old lady on the back foot came to look for her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, and muttered what was in her heart.
"What's the use of just saying thank you? If you don't eat and drink, don't let those two people fool you. I realize that you want to save face now. If you can't keep your face clean, next time I will pretend to be strict with others and tell him behind his back? What do you think? Sample."
Not great.
Mrs. Xu looked at her original mother-in-law, wondering whether this person had lost her memory or something.
Not long ago, I was sitting at the door of her house. I got into a fight with her and cried with snot in my face. I swore that I would never come to her house again. After just over a month, I turned around and came here again to take charge of my business.
Yesterday, when she saw Tian Xin giving her too much milk and serving rice to the little girl named Zhaodi in the first room, Mrs. Xu didn't say much. There were guests at that time.
I didn't expect this to be delivered to my door. I have to give her a few harsh words to make it feel better, right? If it were that smart person, you would be able to keep your eyes open.
"You think you're good to us, just help us get some good money, but you're too short-sighted, and you're trying to save my face now.
Do you know that after Zhao Dashan becomes a town pavilion, it will be more convenient for his family to do business in the future, which is better than giving him three taels or five taels of silver?
Giving money is just a matter of clearing things up, there is no favor left.
Another one, if he gives it to you, do you really dare to accept it?
How is that different from those relatives in Zhenting who were sent to prison? Do you want to go to prison? "
Old lady Xu is scaring the old lady.
Don't be scared, you are quite brave to accept the gift.
Her family doesn't have much ability at the moment. In the future, they will only know more and more people. What to do if they collect money secretly.
Moreover, Mrs. Xu has already thought it through clearly, so there is no need to break it into pieces and explain it to her.
It's like saying that the reason why we can't even eat shit as well as hot food is because we don't know the policies above. I wish the emperor had died, and I don’t know what would happen if the dynasty changed.
Sometimes the message is the value.
From now on, Zhao Dashan will be able to know the news from above, such as the mutual market, such as the division into the Protectorate this time, and he will have a good idea. According to the manager's behavior, we will only need to be steady in the future. If you do business, you will get good results. And why should she choose Wangjiagou's position?
But these invisible benefits cannot be explained to the old lady at all. You can see the sky as big as a palm, and it is most worry-free to tell the results directly.
In addition, Mrs. Xu planned to learn from her granddaughter's behavior yesterday, and directly said to the old lady, "You want to stay here, what should you do specifically, and don't reach out to anything else."
In fact, even this is called taking a step back. She is not her mother-in-law. She has not helped her even a penny and even scolded her so badly. Why should she be allowed to live in her house?
Mrs. Xu looked at the three of them and sighed.
The three boys were pretending to be passing by, pretending to be working and would inadvertently look at them. They were probably worried that their mother and grandma would quarrel.
Mrs. Xu glanced at the old lady's face.
Just now, she was the "daughter-in-law" and said that the "mother-in-law" was short-sighted. This so-called person who used to have a bad temper also turned blue, white and purple, and was still swallowing her anger.
That's more or less the same. You can't just rely on your age to be an elder and look miserable because you are old and disrespectful.
Finally I know who the big and small king is.
So Mrs. Xu decided to have a few words with the old lady and continued:
"Old lady, right now it's just the two of us who know better than to talk secretly.
Didn't you think that our house was not solid and burdened at the beginning, but you always went out and said, "What do you think? The big house is owned by your own son, and you can't stand the grievance."
Unlike us, your old son died, and I decided that he would not be able to keep it and remarry, so you gave me an extra four acres of land for the big house. Do you have to live with others to support him in your old age?
A few years ago, when we were not separated, we all ate from the same big pot. Didn't you treat your eldest daughter-in-law better than me?
He said that he didn't expect us at all, but if he had books, he would be more promising than the few boys in our family.
Well, I won't mention that you and Gu Sufen were wearing the same pair of pants last time.
He came to my house and smashed the pot because he was afraid that we would not be able to pay off the debt.
I just want to say that right now, your land has been given to Dafang, and you have also raised children for Dafang for so many years. The money is given to that side, and the effort is also used to that side. Now you are too old to farm and raise children. You cough cough cough. She came to my house when she caught the cold, and even brought Zhaodi from Dafang’s family over for dinner.
What are you going to do? If you co-author this, we are under control. Children should be punished for being filial. Who are you to bully? Life is getting better, you are coming. Don't think that I can't see through your thoughts on this trip. "
The old lady was almost in tears after being scolded.
This was when she and her daughter-in-law were talking alone, so she continued no matter how unpleasant it was. After all, the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law have been complaining for many years, and it’s not bad this time.
If there was even one outsider present, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she still couldn't bear it. I finally found out that my younger daughter-in-law is not only good at scolding people, but also good at slaying them.
But the old lady is not stupid. She heard that the younger daughter-in-law left a loophole, otherwise it would be easier for others to just pretend not to guess what she was doing.
If she were a daughter-in-law who really didn't want to take her in, she would tell her it's time to go back and you don't need to work here.
And with her younger daughter-in-law now using her wages to control the villagers, no one would dare to talk about her behind her back even if she was driven back, so why not continue to work in the Xu family for copper coins?
"What's the point of turning those small intestines? People don't have back eyes. Who knew your brother and the others..."
The old lady wanted to complain that since the last quarrel with the eldest son, the eldest son had not had a few words with her, and also disliked her for not dying early despite her age.
Oh, the last sentence may be her fault.
Then she became ill.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son and his family were busy collecting their own vegetables first, and then went to his father-in-law's house to continue collecting. This was no longer her fault.
Because the eldest son’s father-in-law’s family introduced Youshu to a girl who had a shop in the town and found her with excellent conditions. The two of them were busy looking at each other in order to make things happen, and then her eldest son became the father-in-law’s family. A filial son and grandson.
As her biological mother, she was completely behind the scenes. During the period of her illness, the family had left a granddaughter, Zhaodi, to cook for her.
The decoction has been drunk long ago, and no one cares about it. The eldest daughter-in-law Gu Sufen is the one who deserves to be plagued. If she wants to see it now, it is intentional. Before leaving, she locked up all the food in the house. The medicine is gone, and she is sick and has a throat. She still couldn't swallow the coarse grains, and Gu Sufen wished she could just die in the house and make room for the married couple, so as not to have to take medicine and see a doctor.
Speaking of which, Zhaodi would have almost died if that little granddaughter hadn't been waiting for her with solid eyes.
Thinking of these, the old lady felt very sad.
Because she didn't dare to guess or think that way, it was too strange. She was in a daze after drinking half a month of decoction, and she didn't feel better at all. She couldn't even get up because she couldn't even prepare for the funeral.
Although she is not taking medicine now and is still having a runny nose and cough, you can see that she can walk to Erdao River in one breath. Yesterday she still had the strength to beat people, sew shoes, burn firewood, watch the fun, and help her little daughter-in-law watch Look at the woman who was serving food to the soldiers and eating secretly.
And when did I feel better? It started to feel better on the third day after stopping the medication.
The old lady kept trying to persuade herself that it was probably time for things to get better, and it was just a coincidence.
The scolding was so scolding, saying that the eldest son expected her to die, but no biological child would do that. At least her eldest son and grandson are not that kind of people. They are the children and grandchildren she has carefully taught and raised. It’s more thoughtful than raising a second wife and a few grandchildren.
However, only the old lady herself knows whether she is completely convinced or not.
Like this time, she packed her bags as soon as she could leave and planned to come to her daughter-in-law to take care of herself in her old age. She also made a cruel plan. She has eight taels of silver hidden here. If she is allowed to completely retire here, she will not give her the big house before her death, but only give it to the three people in the second house, including her other deceased grandson Youtian's daughter. By sharing this money, the love between the grandparents and grandchildren was settled.
Helpless, when I got here, I realized that things had changed. For eight taels of silver, maybe my daughter-in-law's family really didn't care enough to raise her in exchange for it.
"You have to, stop it." Mrs. Xu said in disgust:
"I'm impatient and have no time to listen to all the nonsense between you and Dafang.
From now on, don't stay here and speak ill of that family. If you go back to the big house and speak ill of our family again, I don't know you yet.
Let's open the skylight and talk openly now. We want to stay at my house for a few days, but except for the work that I and the children ask you to do, you can't take care of anything else.
Like what I just said about Zhao Dashan, let me tell you one more thing. The people in your family are more clever than you now. If you don't have enough, you can't earn this family business. Don't you understand? Who are you teaching? I'll treat you honestly when you're old and don't get involved. "
Mrs. Xu specifically said that she could only stay for a few days. You can't just come up and say it's for old age care. You have to see how this old lady behaves and then study it.
To be honest, this is already a point of no return, and he is very soft-hearted.
Let’s be honest, I am already in my forties and almost fifty, and I will probably die in the next twenty years during the Spring Festival. I will lose one year after another, and then remove the days of working hard to make money, and remove the ordinary hours and nights. How many days of relaxation and relaxation can be left during the days when you sleep? Why should you still be angry?
Unexpectedly, she was not kind to her at all, and even wanted to pick up an old woman who had scolded her and bring her home to feed and drink in front of her. How can it be so easy to care for the elderly? Do you have to worry about eating, drinking, and defecation when you are sick and unable to move? It's like a pain in my heart. I'm breathing out there in the middle of the night. How can we have a relaxed mood to eat?
She was really looking for trouble for herself. Mrs. Xu glared at Sanyou.
It just depends on the appearance of these three boys, they have the same knife but a soft mouth, and they are just fooling around.
The three people standing in the distance said: "..."
The old lady was scolded by her daughter-in-law again and chose to swallow her anger again. .net
And seeing the mountains of horse dung, I felt my grievances were inexplicably resolved.
She wiped her tears, yes, to be able to accumulate such incredible wealth and be able to make friends with so many capable people, she was indeed very thoughtful. Besides, she doesn't need to worry about it now. I heard the famine is over.
So she simply pretended not to hear the scolding, and directly answered the conversation and asked: "What kind of work are you asking *** to do?" Come on, say something useful. My daughter-in-law is particularly bad at this. She obviously has no time to complain, but she does make money. They are all waiting, and then there are seven years of grains and eight years of chaff, endless turning of the small intestine.
"I can use pigskin to make cotton hats and gloves, a leather vest to wear over clothes, and knee pads. You Cang is about to go out, so you have to sew them as soon as possible. I'll show you later, and you can just sit in the room. Don't go, the warmth will cure your coldness. Tian Xin was born less than a month ago and is weak. Don't let her fall down again because of the cough. How will the soap locust business be handled then?"
"The vest and clothes don't have to look different. I worked as a maid when I was young. You can just draw the hat and muffs."
When Mrs. Xu heard that the old lady was working as a maid, she softened her tone slightly and said:
"As for if you happen to see someone taking something from our house, or eating something secretly, hiding some hidden agenda, being lazy, etc., just whisper it to me in private and don't gouge or glare on the surface.
What if it's a misunderstanding? It chilled the hearts of the villagers, but they were all still working in one place, and it would be useless to try to make up for it afterwards.
Remember, we are from very poor families. It is not easy to work at our house to earn a few coins. No matter who we know or what we become in the future, we still live together with the fellow villagers.
When we didn’t look up, we didn’t look down. In the past, when we didn’t have the ability, didn’t we look at other people’s faces when we went out to work? If you are misunderstood again, you will feel so uncomfortable.
So don't always make your own decisions and cause trouble for me just for the sake of your family, do you hear me? "
"Now that I say it, I understand." The old lady also immediately showed her weakness: "It's just that Zhaodi is pitiful. Even her meals at home are watery. She must be a mother. She dislikes being born at such a young age and seeing that she is still a girl. And he always beats her..."
"Okay, okay, I don't have time to listen to this. There is no salary, working here, she can eat whatever my family eats. Whenever her parents think of her, they will knock her down when they take her back."
The old lady then gave Mrs. Xu a flattering smile: "That's enough, that's enough."
The old lady thought of yesterday, when her great-granddaughter Tian Xin did not serve her well and gave it to only the third grader.
My aunt, who is 20 years old, also served the same meal.
When the younger daughter-in-law saw this, she didn't say anything like the eldest daughter-in-law, saying that she came to the house to eat so much. In the past, when the second wife came to the house, the eldest daughter-in-law would beat her up and say that there was no food in the house. For this reason, she and the eldest daughter-in-law quarreled many times. The boss had an argument with her last time and said he was distracted, but he couldn't help it because he was dissatisfied with her for a long time.
That's why the old lady felt that she was blind earlier. Regardless of whether it tastes good or bad, compared to being generous, her daughter-in-law has always been less petty.
And yesterday, Lian Youyin, who had always been unkind to his cousins, said to Zhaodi:
"Why are you so angry? You don't know how to use chopsticks when eating, and you have to put the food in your hands to urge you to eat. Don't let others urge you in the future. If you don't have enough to eat, just go get it yourself."
Youyin is a talker, and he can say that even if he has a bad temper. Like Youliang and Youcang, they will only be more honest. No, he is simple and honest when he has food, but he does nothing when he has warehouses.
This made Zhao Di wipe her eyes and tell her secretly that she ate a big bowl of soup rice for the first time.
In the past, the old lady didn't care about these things. She never asked and pretended not to see that her eldest daughter-in-law treated her daughter badly.
At that time, she also had the idea that she was just a loser.
But this serious illness has revealed many things. It is useless to count on grandchildren. Those who can count on are relatives. Then instead of leaving the waiter at home to fend for himself, he took it out and said, "Go to your second aunt's place to help with the work and have a few good meals first."
Above, Mrs. Xu has reached an agreement with the old lady. It depends on the performance.
Mrs. Xu turned around to leave the new shop and went back to continue frying the pork floss.
She has to get up early tomorrow to fight Wang Laoba, otherwise her granddaughter will have too many things to do during the day and won’t have time to broadcast live.
If we don’t broadcast live, isn’t the fight in vain? Why do you want to beat Wanglaobao to earn some reward money?
When leaving, Xu Tianxin called to Mrs. Xu, "Grandma, I'll give you a big ingot. Buy some food and stock it up quickly. I'll use the remaining silver. I'll give you another big ingot when I and Bai Xiucai finish selling the clocks." , okay?"
