Chapter 1560: Please Call Me Mr. An (22)
Isn't the name important?
What about liars!
A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, there is a difference in status, and there is a world of difference in identity and status.
"Mother, Sister Xue is still young-"
Zhou was the first to refuse, how could her baby daughter follow a rat spirit in her thirties, and she was still a nameless concubine?
She has pampered An Xueting as a daughter since she was a child, and although she lives in the countryside, her discipline of her daughter is not inferior to that of a rich girl in the city.
Her Xue sister is literate and literate, and she is even more proficient in needle chisel and cooking, she is so good, even if she marries the eunuch's family, how can she be a concubine for a businessman?
It's just that Zhou herself didn't notice it, and when she said this, she didn't have enough confidence.
At least not as resolute as it was a few months ago.
It's not that she doesn't love her daughter enough, but she sees the reality clearly.
The reality is that the An family lost An Niting's silver, and instantly changed from worry-free food and clothing to overstretched.
The meat is gone, not only can no more clothes and jewelry be purchased, but also some subsidized households have to be secretly used, and An Haoting's reading is like a bottomless pit...... All kinds of difficulties are placed in front of Zhou.
Yan is a selfish and cold person.
The Zhou family bet that the Yan family must still have a private house in his hands, but the dead old woman just won't let go.
Every day, she knows that she is lying in bed, humming and chirping to ask for this and that, but when it comes to money, she pretends to be confused.
If she pressed it tighter, she began to cry and wipe her tears, hang herself and seek death.
Zhou had no choice but to sell his jewelry.
After selling it a few times, Zhou's was also a little unwilling - why? The family has food and clothing, but she wants to fill it alone?
She began to settle accounts with An Haoting, asking him to save some money, not to buy hundreds of dollars of paper at every turn, the kind of straw paper of more than ten dollars can also be used.
She began to cry to Yan, telling her to endure it, don't open your mouth for bird's nest, close your mouth for white fungus, and eat an egg to replenish your body.
is An Xueting, Zhou also began to find her some embroidery and purse errands, and she didn't earn much, so she had an income.
In the past ten years, Zhou thought she was quite objective and calm, but she didn't realize it herself, and she had long been accustomed to being raised by people.
With a large amount of money coming in her account every month, she doesn't have to worry about the money, she just needs to serve her mother-in-law and stepson, and pamper her daughter, so that she can live a leisurely life like a rich young grandmother.
"An Niting" let go of it, not only blinded Yan, but also woke up Zhou.
After waking up, Zhou sadly found that she had long been accustomed to fine clothes and food, and she could not go back to the past.
Backbone or something, at first Zhou could still talk about it.
But as time went on, Zhou gradually threw these aside.
Zhou even thought that if An Haoting had not been in high school, the An family would only be worse.
With such a family background, Sister Xue can't marry any good family, do you want her to marry a down-and-out talent like herself, or a vulgar farmer?
Her sister Xue grew up pampered, she didn't even touch a hoe, do you want her to work in the field every day like the surrounding village women?!
Thinking about it this way, the Zhou family felt that maybe it would be a good choice to be a concubine for Ge Jintang.
"What is small, Sister Xue is thirteen, and she will be fourteen in the new year, and when I am fourteen, I will marry your father-in-law. ”
Yan glared at Zhou, and said very domineeringly, "Besides, it's not like letting her pass through the door immediately." Even if we think about it, it's not convenient for Master Ge to be there. ”
Ge Jintang is a businessman who travels from south to north, and it is impossible to stay in one place for too long.
This time, it is very rare to be able to stay in Qizhou for a few months.
It is already late autumn, and Ge Jintang is going to go to the south to sell some goods before the Chinese New Year.
In addition, he also wants to force an family.
Sometimes, only when people see the reality clearly, will they put down their bodies and do what they should do.
Ge Jintang is gone.
There was no pair of mouse eyes peeping in the dark, and An Xueting quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But, soon, An Xueting found that her good days had not come.
Because as soon as Ge Jintang left, no one sent anything or silver to the An family.
Zhou had already sold his jewelry, and Yan could no longer pretend to be dead in the face of the empty rice jar and noodle urn, but took out some coffin books like cutting meat.
An Haoting's side has also been seriously affected.
The academy went normally, but the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used were all reduced to the minimum standard.
In the past, he would also participate in the dinner parties and poetry meetings of his classmates, but now, he can only hide to the side and dare not mix in anymore.
When the cold winter came, An Haoting was not able to buy a new cotton robe, but wore last year's old clothes.
This is not the most desperate.
The most desperate thing is that at the beginning of spring next year, it will be tied.
More than 20 taels of silver, An Jia can't take it out!
If you don't have the money to tie up, do you want An Haoting to leave the academy?!
Not to mention that the Yan family didn't agree, even the Zhou family didn't agree.
The cruel reality made them more and more aware of the importance of An Haoting's middle move.
An Haoting is already very close, and they are just about to turn into a dragon in the last step, and they have to hold on no matter what!
But it costs money to go to school.
Faced with such a situation, there was no need for Yan's persuasion, the Zhou family began to think about it, but it really didn't work, so let Sister Xue follow Ge Jintang.
As I said earlier, she didn't do this all for the sake of settling down, she wasn't so great.
She is also thinking about Sister Xue'er.
If Sister Xue followed Ge Jintang at this time, she would be the hero of the An family.
In the future, An Haoting will be lifted, and he will not be able to treat Sister Xue badly.
And once An Haoting becomes a lifter, Sister Xue'er's identity will also rise, as long as Ge Jintang has no problem with his brain, he will take a break from the dregs of his hometown and help Sister Xue'er.
And if An Haoting fails to try repeatedly, Sister Xue has a rich businessman, and she will not suffer with the An family!
Zhou went through these things over and over again in his mind, and in the end, he made up his mind.
An Xueting listened to her mother's analysis with her.
She was suffocated, she was cold, she was full of sadness!
It wasn't until this moment that she fully understood how her sister had felt.
The original sister should have been so helpless and desperate.
Oh no, my sister should be even more upset than she is, because it's like what my grandmother said inadvertently - it's better to be a concubine than a prostitute, right?!
Listen, that's what my grandmother said.
It is estimated that in the eyes of my grandmother, she and her sister are not her blood and bones, but something that can be bought and sold and sacrificed!
It's ridiculous that she once blamed her sister for "being willing to fall", and hated that iron could not become steel.
Hehe, it's really a good cycle of cause and effect, and now she has become the second An Niting!
And what makes An Xueting breathless the most is the person in front of her who keeps saying "good for her" but is persecuting her, is her own mother, and her most trusted and relied on relatives......
