Tang originally proposed it boldly, although Yang Xianmao worshiped her as a godmother and was very filial to her, but in the end, she just worshipped, and she was still a little bottomless in her heart, for fear that she would make her godson unhappy with her casual ideas, but she didn't expect Yang Xianmao to completely adopt her opinion, she is also a thrifty person, and she is not willing to spend money lavishly, so she said such a suggestion, but I didn't expect my godson to agree, and I was very happy at the moment.

This morning, Tang took Liu Dongyan to the market to buy vegetables, Yang Xianmao originally planned to call two more maids to take care of her, but the old lady categorically refused, saying that she had hands and feet and could walk, how could she need someone to serve, and besides, there was already a maid Liu Dongyan, resolutely not to hire people, Yang Xianmao had to let him, so buy vegetables and cook, the old lady did it herself.

When they came to the bazaar, there were people selling vegetables and meat, and although the old lady was frugal, she didn't pick the door, and knew that her son could make money, so she didn't have to go too far in terms of eating. So I went straight to the chicken and duck shop, wanting to buy a chicken and go back, and make a delicious meal for Yang Xianmao after it was burned.

As soon as she arrived here, someone behind her suddenly called him: "Second daughter-in-law." ”

Tang turned his head to see that a middle-aged man with a woman looked at her with a sarcastic face, but it was her husband's brother and sister-in-law.

Tang was widowed in her early years, she has been widowed and unmarried, and she occasionally walks around with her husband's family, but because her family is poor, her husband is dead, and she supports herself completely on her own, and she has no children under her knees, so no one pays attention to her at her husband's house, and she is not in a good mood, so she comes out and rents a house by herself, and supports herself by doing laundry for others.

Her husband's family thought that she had always been widowed to their son, and they often came to see her, but the most common one was her sister-in-law, who was already married, married to a businessman in Bianliang, and this uncle rarely came, even if he saw it, he would inevitably be sneering, especially the sister-in-law, who was very mean-mouthed, as if she would not be happy if she didn't say a few words to damage the Tang family.

In fact, the husband's brother and wife are not living better than anyone else, the uncle is a scribe in the yamen, and the salary is only three taels of silver a month, and her wife also helps people from time to time to make some female red, and sells them on the street to earn some extra water, and there are two children under their knees, so the burden of the family is still quite heavy, but they always feel superior in front of the Tang family, who make money by washing clothes to support themselves.

Seeing them coming with a sneer on their faces, Tang knew that she was afraid of being ridiculed by them again today, but she was a person with a weak personality, and she was unwilling to talk back to her husband's family about this, so every time they laughed, Tang just bowed his head and said nothing, this time when he saw them coming, Tang gave a salute and said, "It turned out to be the eldest uncle and sister-in-law, do you also come to buy vegetables?"

Tang's husband's family name is Shi, and her husband is the second oldest in the family, so he is called Shi Laoer, and the eldest brother in front of him is called Shi Laoda.

Boss Shi nodded, saw that Tang was on crutches, not a little strange, and asked, "What's wrong with your feet?"

"It's fine, it's just a little hurt, it's okay anymore. ”

Boss Shi said, "Oh, that's good. ——Your nephew is going to be admitted to the Taiyi Academy after the beginning of spring, he has been studying hard in the library run by Fei Shen Doctor these days, and he took the first place in the test yesterday, so he came to buy a chicken today, make a delicious meal to treat him, and invited a few relatives and friends to get together, you can come and sit down if you have nothing to do. ”

Boss Shi's son has been a doctor since elementary school, and his medical skills are not bad, so he deliberately asked him to go to the medical hall as an apprentice, because in the coming year, the Taiyi Academy will recruit apprentices from all over the country, and there are 200 places. It is hosted by a doctor surnamed Fei in Tai Hospital, who is known as a miracle doctor. This library is specially trained for students who are preparing to take the Taiyi Academy exam next year, and Boss Shi's son also participated, but he didn't expect to get the first place in this test, so the family was very happy.

Tang was about to congratulate her, but before she could speak, Mrs. Shi on the side sneered and said: "How can she be fine, she is busy washing clothes for others every day, you see how her hands are rotten, I heard that she washes clothes very hard, and earns a few more cents than others every day, tsk, how can so much money be spent, let's not bother her to come and sit." She eats a lot of food, don't eat all the white rice by then, what will the other guests eat? ”

Tang lowered her eyebrows, she was used to such ridicule, tepid, and did not speak.

Boss Shi just said it casually, and when he heard his daughter-in-law say this, he nodded and said: "The second daughter-in-law is a family in the end, and it's okay to come and sit, I haven't moved around these days, but if you're very busy, forget it." By the way, what are you doing here? Didn't you say that you have a bunch of food in your workshop there? Could it be that you want to buy some food and go back to make food? By the way, it's coming soon, and you should prepare some New Year's goods, otherwise it will be too expensive to buy them at the end of the year, and you will be afraid of spending some unjust money. ”

Mrs. Shi on the side said angrily: "It's okay, buy something first, otherwise when it comes to the end of the year, your little money is not enough to buy anything, don't eat some white rice and no vegetables for the New Year." - White rice may not be able to eat, nibbling a black bun is almost the same, by the way, we can't finish the New Year anyway, I will ask your nephew to send you some leftovers, they are all a family, and they should help each other. ”

Tang was still tepid, shook his head and said, "No need, thank you sister-in-law, I can take care of myself." ”

Mrs. Shi snorted, knocked on the cage in front of her that held the chickens and ducks, and said, "Oh, aren't you going to buy a chicken or a duck? God, you're so rich now? Don't scare me, our family only dares to eat chickens and ducks during the New Year's holidays, if it weren't for your nephew's good test this time and his ruthless intention to buy a chicken to go back, we would really be reluctant to spend this money! You must know that a chicken is 400 wen, which weighs four catties." - What about 400 wen, a chicken is almost worth the money you earn from washing other people's clothes in a month, right?"

Liu Dongyan couldn't help it on the side, turned his head and said to Tang: "Old lady, a chicken may not be enough, why don't we buy a fish, the young master likes to eat fish." ”

As soon as they heard this, Boss Shi and Mrs. Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, they saw Liu Dongyan next to them just now, but they didn't associate Liu Dongyan with the Tang family, and thought it was someone else's girl, and heard Liu Dongyan call the Tang family an old lady, and called a young master, they were not a little surprised, looked at the Tang family, and asked her: "......Who is this?"

Liu Dongyan was the first to say: "My name is Liu Dongyan, and I am the old lady's maid." ”

Boss Shi was taken aback, glanced at each other with his wife, frowned, and asked Tang, "Your maid, do you have the money to buy a maid?"

Mrs. Shi grabbed another question, and asked Tang with a gloomy face, "Who is the young master she is talking about?

Tang didn't know what to say for a while. Liu Dongyan said: "Our young master worshipped the old lady as his godmother, and I became the old lady's maid." ”

Boss Shi frowned even more, and said to the Tang family: "You take in your son? Isn't that a stepchild for our Shi family? Why don't you tell me about such a big thing? I didn't nod, how can you arbitrarily accept someone else's son." ”

Mrs. Shi stomped her feet on the side and said, "Who knows if it's a godson or a wild man, she doesn't abide by women's morals." The head of the family should remove her from the ancestral hall, what should she do with this kind of immoral person? I thought she would keep filial piety for the second child for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that she would still play with this kind of flamboyant intestines at a young age. ”

When Liu Dongyan heard this, he angrily reprimanded: "Hey, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense! Our young master is a Taoist leader, and he has great ability." Besides, our young master just worships the old lady as his godmother, and it is not a step, and it has nothing to do with your historian, our young master only recognizes our old lady as a godmother, but there are no relatives like you!"

Boss Shi was robbed of white, and his face turned dark, and he pointed at Liu Dongyan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Dongyan flipped his wrist, and there was an extra ingot of silver in his palm, held it in front of him, and his fingers slammed into the silver, and the silver was actually pinched by her fingers.

As soon as he saw Liu Dongyan's kung fu, Boss Shi's face suddenly turned cold, and he subconsciously shrunk his neck, then took a step back, looked at Liu Dongyan nervously and said, "You, what are you going to do?"

Liu Dongyan said word by word: "If you dare to be inferior at the exit, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Mrs. Shi also saw how powerful this girl was on the side, and for fear that her husband would suffer, she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go, don't be like them." ”

Boss Shi hurriedly nodded, walked away in a hurry with his wife, walked out for a while, and then hid in the crowd and looked here, seeing Liu Dongyan catch an old hen from the chicken coop, pay the silver and take Tang's hand to the place where the fish is sold to buy a big live fish, tie it in his hand with a straw rope, and walk outside the vegetable market while laughing with the old lady.

Mrs. Shi was dumbfounded, and said to her husband, "What's going on? Could it be that this old woman really accepted a rich godson?"

Boss Shi shook his head and said in a low voice, "Let's go down and see what's going on?"

The two followed from a distance, and the vegetable market was separated by two streets from the pharmacy they opened in Xianmao, and soon they followed to the door of the Xianmao Medical Center, and saw that the medical hall was being renovated, and the pomp was very large. The maid helped Tang Shi in, and the two looked at each other.

Boss Shi thought for a while and said, "I'll go over and inquire." Boss Shi came back after a while, and said nothing to Mrs. with a gloomy face.

Mrs. Shi was a little puzzled, and said: "Is it that old woman in this pharmacy for others to be a person?" accompanied the maid to buy vegetables, in order to save face, in front of me, she said that she had accepted a rich godson, so that she could give her a long face, but in fact, she was just an old mother. But even if she becomes an old mother, it is also her blessing, who is so blind, I really can't understand. ”

Boss Shi shook his head and said: "I don't know, I went to ask just now, but those who worked said that they didn't know either, but they were just invited by the Taoist to do the work, and it will be completed and opened in two days, this is a medical hall, it seems to be called what Xianmao Medical Hall." I didn't see the old woman in there, and I don't know what the hell was going on. ”
