The two mothers-in-law are busy green, tidying up things, and sprinkling and sweeping the yard, on weekdays, the lady comes to do so diligently, and there is money to make the ghost grind, and the two mothers-in-law do not want to lose the two coins of silver in their arms.

In the house, Su Xiujin took Jiu'er out, put a pot of wine in her hand on the low table, the fourth aunt was leaning against the window to embroider the upper of the shoe, saw Su Xiujin coming, rubbed her hands, and wanted to pour tea for Su Xiujin, the house was still not lit, and she knocked over a stool, and the fourth aunt was busy groping to help the stool, but she ran into Su Xiujin's hand.

Su Xiujin picked up the stool with one hand, sat down, and the fourth aunt said, "What does Jin'er want to eat?" There is also osmanthus cake in this cupboard, I will bring it to you. As he spoke, he was going to rummage through the cabinet.

Su Xiujin watched the fourth aunt groping in the dark room, and finally found the cabinet, which put a lot of things in it, all of which were the good snacks left by the fourth aunt, and they were reluctant to eat, so they were wrapped in a handkerchief and put in the cabinet, even Jiu'er didn't care about those tattered pastries, they could make fresh from the kitchen, but the fourth aunt was reluctant to taste them.

Su Xiujin sighed almost inaudibly, in the heart of the fourth aunt, Su Xiujin was still the little girl who couldn't eat enough and muttered about pastries every day.

Su Xiujin stretched out her right hand from under the fashionable package, holding a small mahogany box in her right hand, the fourth aunt took the pastry, carefully opened the silk handkerchief, and pushed it in front of Su Xiujin, Su Xiujin opened the mahogany box, and the yellow and white things inside made the fourth aunt dumbfounded.

"Auntie, this is fifty taels of silver, which I have saved in the past three years, and I have exchanged some jewelry that I don't usually need for money.

The fourth aunt looked at Su Xiujin in a daze, fifty taels is not a small amount, usually a mother-in-law's case of silver is only three dollars of silver, one or two pieces of silver is enough for an ordinary family to eat for a month, Su Xiujin's monthly case of silver is only one or two silver, how can she save so much?

"Jin'er!" The fourth aunt hurriedly closed the box, "Take these back, who is the aunt?" Can you ask you for silver? You are fourteen years old after the New Year, and you are at the age of your relatives, and you will not have any money to spend in the past, so how can your husband's family look down on you! ”

Su Xiujin pushed the box forward by two inches: "Auntie, Jiu'er, I will find a way to solve it, and the maids and servants around my aunt have to be replaced." It's not all about subsidizing your aunt, you have to weigh it yourself. ”

The fourth aunt said that she would not accept the money for anything, and stuffed the box into Su Xiujin's arms: "Jin'er, it is my mother who should subsidize you!" It's all my mother's inability, and I haven't been able to earn you a bright future, if you rely on your subsidy again, this is going to break my mother! Saying that, the fourth aunt couldn't help it, turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Su Xiujin couldn't bear it, she would definitely have to fight Zhang Shuqin in the future, who would protect the fourth aunt after she married into the Su family?

Su Xiujin hesitated for a long time before putting her palm on the shoulder of the fourth aunt: "Mother, if I don't subsidize you, there is one year left before I leave the cabinet, I offended my grandmother the day before yesterday, she will definitely not let me go, you are afraid that the days in this courtyard will become more and more sad, Jin'er is really unfilial, so she can only use this method." ”

A sentence of motherhood made the fourth aunt stunned, since Su Xiujin's personality changed three years ago, Su Xiujin only called her aunt, although this is also the rule she has instructed thousands of times, but in private, the fourth aunt is also a little sad when she thinks about it.

Su Xiujin took a silk handkerchief to wipe the tears of the fourth aunt, in the previous life, the mother was the county lord, with golden branches and jade leaves, and the dignity was extraordinary, and in this life, the fourth aunt was born lowly, and she was just a slave who sprinkled and swept people before, and she couldn't be on the stage, but in any case, as a mother, the heart is the same, and there is no distinction between dignity and humility.

"How did you offend the eldest lady? I told her how I could let you be wronged for no reason. The fourth aunt said that she was leaving.

Su Xiujin pulled her, "Mother, listen to me." ”

Su Xiujin explained the matter of Tianxianglou clearly, and the fourth aunt listened to the change of expression on her face, and finally the whole person fell silent.

Su Xiujin patted her hand, she didn't expect the fourth aunt to fight for her, but in the Su family, she couldn't be a fool.

The fourth aunt didn't understand in her heart, she was born humble and had no place in the Su family, and even with Su Xiujin, she couldn't have Su Fugui's blue eyes, Su Changfang, as the eldest daughter, studied like a kid in the school since she was a child, but what about Su Xiujin? She only knew some bookkeeping words, and as a concubine, Su Fugui was only afraid that she would use her as a tool to expand the Su family's business circle.

"Jin'er, I'll keep thirty taels of this money, and take the rest back." The fourth aunt wiped away her tears, and there was a hint of firmness on her face that Su Xiujin had never seen before.

Su Xiujin was not reluctant, took out thirty taels from the small box, and took the silk handkerchief.

The fourth aunt took the money, put it close to her, saw that it was not too late outside, and pushed Su Xiujin: "You also go back to rest earlier, I can handle it here." ”

Su Xiujin hesitated for a long time before moving out, and the two mothers-in-law outside the door were still looking at Su Xiujin, and the two of them stepped forward quite attentively and asked, "The sixth girl is finished, are you going back to the courtyard?" ”

Cuizhu helped Su Xiujin and glanced at her: "It's almost done, don't go to light the lantern yet, the sixth girl wants to go back to the yard." ”

The two mothers-in-law were busy fetching lanterns, and the two walked in front to guide Su Xiujin.

In the dim light, the fat woman wriggled her fat buttocks and was particularly funny.

Su Xiujin suddenly asked, "May I ask if Mama has a brother who is working as an errand for Brother Min?" ”

The fat woman didn't know why, so she nodded and said, "Back to the sixth girl, the old woman's brother is in charge of Brother Min'er's finances." ”

Su Xiujin suddenly smiled: "Then I have something I hope Mama can help." ”

This time, it's best to change the people around the fourth aunt to another shift.

And this end, Jiu'er saw Su Xiujin's figure disappear around the corner, so she couldn't wait to enter the house, the fourth aunt sat in the dark, Jiu'er stroked the hairpin on her head, and asked in a voice: "Yo, auntie, did the sixth girl send you something?" My aunt has never needed good things, so Jiu'er will keep it for you. ”

The fourth aunt in the dark trembled with anger, how many times did Jin'er send things be deceived by this Diao slave?

"I didn't."

Jiu'er sneered, stepped forward and grabbed the fourth aunt's wrist accurately: "No? When did the sixth girl come and didn't bring you anything, what is it this time? Jewelry? Broken silver? As he spoke, he groped into the arms of the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt struggled, but she couldn't withstand Jiu'er's strength, and after a while, Jiu'er touched the thirty taels of silver in her arms.

Jiu'er opened Jinpa and looked at it, and was immediately shocked by the three silver ingots, and was a little speechless.

Thirty taels! Thirty taels! She'd never seen so much silver!

"Sixth girl, this time-" Jiu'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Bloody?" ”

The fourth aunt withdrew her hand quietly, and shouted twice as usual: "Quickly return my silver!" ”

The fat and thin woman who came back from the window heard the sound, and the thin woman stretched out her hand to stop the fat woman: "It's not once or twice, don't worry about it, Jiu'er's girl is as fine as a monkey." ”
