Chapter 15
Jiang Wanbai glanced at the third uncle gratefully, thought about his words carefully, and then said, "Third uncle, can you take me to see the three houses, and can you help me ask how much rent is needed?" โ
"He has already handed over Liangdong's house to me, saying that if the people of the Tian family rent it, they will give five taels of silver a year, and if it is an outsider, it will cost eight taels. I haven't asked about Liangqi's house, but if you live, he won't be too embarrassed for you, and six or seven taels of silver should be about the same.
As for Zhenhong's house, I still have to ask. The third uncle said, "If you want to see the house, I happen to be fine in the afternoon, I can take you to see it." โ
"Then thank you, Third Uncle. By the way, it's time for lunch, too. The third uncle helped us so much today, so he stayed with us for lunch. I went to town today and bought a big piece of ribs, and I'll cook it myself and make sweet and sour ribs for you later.
And Wen Yong, stay too, I'll make you something to eat. Jiang Wanbai said with a smile, she knew that the more times like this, the more she couldn't hang her head.
Seeing that Jiang Wanbai didn't look a little sad, the third uncle had a smile on his face, and he didn't refuse, he stayed.
Jiang Wanbai's smile also infected everyone in the Tian family, making everyone's face a lot less gloomy, and listening to her talk about pork ribs, they remembered that they had bought a lot of delicious food today.
And the shrimp paste was sold for a lot of money, and they also asked for six taels of silver from the embroidery village, perhaps, their life is not as they thought, it is going to collapse.
Today, everyone in the Tian family is extremely calm, and even the Zhao family is busy helping Jiang Wanbai chop vegetables and light the fire.
With the help of the Wang family, the Zhang family, and the Zhao family, Jiang Wanbai almost didn't do it herself, and she was ready to do it as soon as she could.
The big stick bones and pork ribs you bought are rolled in boiling water to get rid of the foam, the big stick bones are fished out, and the soup is boiled in a crockpot on the side, and the pork ribs are marinated with salt, wine, pepper, etc.
Put oil in the pan, wait until the oil is eight minutes hot, pour the ribs into the pan, fry in the hot oil, fry until browned, and then scoop up, leaving the oil.
Then add sugar and vinegar to the pan and stir-fry, wait for the sugar to completely melt in the oil and cause small bubbles, pour the ribs into the pan and stir-fry for color, and wait until the sticky juice completely rolls onto the ribs, and a sweet and sour sweet and sour pork rib is ready.
Then, Jiang Wanbai made a dish of back pot meat with the three-layered meat, took seven or eight eggs and shrimp paste, and made a big bowl of steamed eggs with shrimp sauce.
"I didn't expect you to have this skill!" The third uncle said in surprise, he had seen drunken shrimp a few days ago, but he had never seen steamed eggs with shrimp sauce, nor had he seen back to the pot meat, so he had to be surprised.
After complimenting, as soon as he tasted those dishes, he smiled and said, "I'm blessed today." โ
"If the third uncle likes to eat, he will often come to me to eat in the future." Jiang Wanbai answered with a smile.
The third uncle agreed with a smile, and for a while only the sound of everyone eating was left.
The third uncle and the men of the Tian family like to eat drunk shrimp and back pot meat, because these two dishes either bring wine or can be drunk, while the women and children of the Tian family prefer to eat sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed eggs with shrimp sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs are sour and sweet, and steamed eggs with shrimp sauce are smooth and fragrant, and everyone in the room can't stop eating them.
Food is always a good thing, and when you're full, everyone smiles on their faces, as if all the morning's events have passed.
After eating, Jiang Wanbai followed the third uncle to see the three houses, just like the third uncle said, the three houses have their own advantages and disadvantages.
However, Jiang Wanbai took a fancy to the house at the head of the village at a glance. The house is more than twice as large as an ordinary house, and outside its courtyard wall is a small piece of wasteland, and outside the wasteland is the small river that flows through Tianjia Village, which is very convenient for growing vegetables or raising some poultry in the future.
Not only that, but there are more houses in this house than the other two, although it is not as large as the nine large tiled houses of the Tian family, but there are also three main rooms and three side rooms. Besides, this house has a big yard, and if they want to build it in the future, it will be very convenient.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, Jiang Wanbai even felt that this house was more developed than the original house of the Tian family, so she asked the third uncle, "It's not a matter for us to rent a house for a long time, but I don't know if this house is for sale?" โ
The third uncle actually probably guessed that Jiang Wanbai would definitely choose this house, after all, it was big and cheap, and it was nothing compared to this in the middle of nowhere, but he didn't expect Jiang Wanbai to want to buy this house.
"Liangdong and they shouldn't go back to the village again, they also mentioned to me before that they want to sell the house, if you want to buy it, I can help you ask. However, you also know that such a big house must cost a lot of money. โ
"How much?" Jiang Wanbai asked.
"Although this house is not as good as yours, there will always be eighty-ninety taels."
Eighty-ninety taels, Jiang Wanbai calculated, she now has twenty-four taels in her hand, which is indeed far away, but she has a plan just now, if that plan can be successful, she may not be able to make up this money.
"Please ask the third uncle if you have time to help me ask, but don't worry. By the way, this is this year's rent. With that, Jiang Wanbai took out five taels of silver and handed it to the third uncle.
The third uncle didn't seem to want to take the money, "You are in difficulty now, it's about to be time to pay taxes, if it's inconvenient, I can talk to Liangdong, or I'll help you cushion it first, and then give it to me when you can relieve your breath." โ
Jiang Wanbai is very grateful to the third uncle for saying this, everyone knows that their family is poor, and maybe they won't be able to repay the money at all in the future, but the third uncle is still willing to lend them money, this is no longer as simple as sending charcoal in the snow, but a kind of trust in Jiang Wanbai, this trust makes Jiang Wanbai moved.
However, Jiang Wanbai didn't intend to accept it, she insisted on stuffing the silver into the hands of the third uncle. Their family is now experiencing some difficulties, but she doesn't want to reach out to others, others help for a while, but they can't help for a lifetime. What's more, things haven't come to that point at all.
After sending away the third uncle, Jiang Wanbai went home and told everyone about her decision, and everyone had no objections, "Tomorrow, the fourth and fourth daughters-in-law will go to the town with me to find the boss, the third daughter-in-law, aren't you going back to your parents' house, let the third child accompany you tomorrow and take the child back to see."
The second and second daughter-in-law, you pack up your things at home and get ready to move. โ
As soon as Tian Laosi heard that he was going to the town to find Tian Laosi, he immediately became excited, just like seeing meat and bones. He has long seen that Boss Tian is not pleasing to the eye, why are they all children of the Tian family, he can study, eat fragrant and drink spicy, he has always been a bitter haha, "Mother, what do we want?" โ
"Divide the family, separate your eldest brother's family." Jiang Wanbai said steadily.
Today, she realized that she had some concepts that needed to be changed, otherwise something like Tian Lao Wu would not happen again in the future. A fly spoiled a pot of soup, and since Boss Tian didn't want to come back and didn't want to raise her, she let him get his wish.
Otherwise, Tian Lao Da is like a โกโก, and he may explode like Tian Lao Wu one day. Well, Jiang Wanbai admitted that she had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, but she did want to kick out the unstable factor of Boss Tian, and now is the best time to separate him.
However, he cheated so much money from the Tian family, and the interest must be repaid.
"Split up, but ......" Tian Laosi was just about to speak, but when he saw Jiang Wanbai's face, he seemed to understand something, and sat back excitedly. Tonight, he has to recuperate and try to tear off a piece of fat from Boss Tian tomorrow.
When Zhao heard this, she was also a little excited, she had already tasted the sweetness in Xiuzhuang today, if she could contribute more tomorrow, maybe Jiang Wanbai would give her some more. Thinking of the silver of Baihuahua, the Zhao family didn't even pay attention to Jiang Wanbai's letting the Zhang family go back to her parents' house.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Jiang Wanbai dressed up neatly and took Tian Laosi and Zhao to the town.
Boss Tian now lives in a two-entry house, and it is in the center of the town, this house alone is probably worth one or two hundred taels, which makes Jiang Wanbai even more determined, such people who don't care about the life and death of their own mother, it is better to divide it out as soon as possible.
At this time, it was early in the morning, Tian Laosi's door was tightly closed, Tian Laosi stepped forward to knock on the door, knocked for a while, and a woman came out to open the door.
When the woman saw that it was Tian Laosi, she smiled and said: "It turns out that it is the fourth master, you are here to find my master this time, unfortunately, my master took his wife and young masters to Zhou's house." The woman's words were so numb that she looked like she had practiced them ordinarily.
Tian Laosi saw that he had suffered a lot at the hands of this woman, so he didn't pay attention to the woman, but turned around and explained to Jiang Wanbai: "Mother, this is the eldest brother's family hired to cook and do chores, surnamed Li." โ
Jiang Wanbai nodded and said to the Li family: "I am the boss's mother-in-law, is the boss at home?" โ
Li Shi was a little surprised, and said very enthusiastically in an instant: "It turns out that the old lady has arrived, if my master knows that you are here, I don't know how happy I am." You're tired all the way, come in and drink some water. As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Wanbai and wanted to drag her into the courtyard.
Jiang Wanbai waved her hand away, she wouldn't fall for her, if she really wanted to enter the courtyard with her, she would definitely be the same as Tian Laosi before, and she couldn't even see the shadow of Tian Laosi, "I'll just stand here and wait for the boss, when the boss will come to pick me up in person, I'll go in."
Otherwise, I'll keep waiting. Jiang Wanbai said very loudly, and in an instant, it attracted the attention of several pedestrians on the street, who looked at her one after another.
Li's face stiffened, and he said a little unhappily: "Old lady, don't shout, it's not good for people to hear the neighbors in this street." โ
"You don't know well, so why don't you call my eldest brother out." As soon as Tian Laosi saw that Jiang Wanbai had the upper hand, he immediately helped.
"......It's really no one at home," Li was still dying.
Jiang Wanbai sat on the street at the door all of a sudden, "It doesn't matter if there is no one, I can wait, when the boss remembers that he still has such a mother-in-law, and when he will come to pick me up again, it will not be too late." โ
As soon as she said this, the passers-by seemed to understand what was going on, and they all pointed at Li. In ancient times, unfilial piety was the first major crime, the prince of heaven and earth, the status of the father and mother was second only to the emperor, only this unfilial piety charge, if Jiang Wanbai sued the government, this Tian boss would not be able to stand it.
Even if Jiang Wanbai doesn't tell him, if he continues to make trouble like this, Boss Tian's reputation will be stinky, and it is estimated that he will be poked in the backbone in the future.
Li was scared at this time, and while reaching out to help Jiang Wanbai, she said that she would go to find someone.
Jiang Wanbai made up her mind that she couldn't deal with such a shameless person, and she couldn't be too scruples about face.
Li was helpless and hurriedly ran back.
After a while, Boss Tian ran out with an anxious face, and when he saw Jiang Wanbai sitting on the ground, he hurriedly came over to help her, and said, "Mother, why don't you come to the town to tell me, so that I can pick you up." โ
"Pick up your mother, big brother, since I married into the Tian family, I haven't seen you go home, I thought you had forgotten about your family, and I forgot that there is a mother at home!" Zhao scoffed.
"Yes, I'll tell you, I can't even see your shadow, how can I tell you. Even if my mother came to see you in person, the people in your family still said that you were not at home. Tian Laosi answered.
"Not at home? I see that I obviously don't want to see my mother, I don't want to enter filial piety, and I say that I am a reader, and this book has been read to the dog's stomach. If all the people in the world were like you, I don't think everyone would need to read anything. โ
The Zhao family and Tian Laosi sang and harmonized, and Jiang Wanbai was in charge, and the combat power was almost about to break through the universe.
