Chapter 33: Liu's Little Abacus

As the days passed, the farming was over, and wheat was planted in the fields, the villagers could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

By the river in Daqinzhuang, several women were washing clothes together, and their mouths were still gossiping. As he spoke, this topic somehow came to Qin Shu.

"Have you heard? There is a rich woman in Xiaoqinzhuang, who is the one who built the house, and I heard that it is still a brick house! Many masons in our village work in her house! It was a thin woman with triangular eyes who spoke, and said with a mysterious expression.

"What a rich woman, I heard that she is an abandoned woman who has been divorced." A very tall woman retorted to her, and then pursed her lips again, and said sourly: "However, it is true that you are rich. ”

"Isn't it the little widow of a dead man?"

"You are all wrong, obviously she is the concubine of a big family, and the master mother can't tolerate it, so she has to be kicked out, but fortunately, the old man of the family remembered the old love and secretly gave her a few hundred taels of silver as a settlement fee." Another woman interjected.

"Oh my God, so much!" As soon as they heard that it was a few hundred taels of silver, everyone exclaimed.

If you have this money and save some money, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

"That is, how else you can afford to build a brick house? I heard that she also adopted the dog leftover from the Qin butcher's family! According to those who help in her house, she gives her dog a small amount of food every day, either white buns or white rice, and she has never even eaten brown rice. I eat meat every two days, and the dish is not the same. Eggs are eaten every day, and now many people in their village sell eggs to their families! Even these helpers can eat a lot of oil and water every day, which is better than eating in their own homes! The woman saw that her words had attracted the attention of the people, and she spoke more and more triumphantly.

"I've heard about it, and you say, why is she so willing! It's not her own son, but the dog's leftover father is still there, and when he grows up and has good things, isn't he going to be filial to his father? ”

"That's not necessarily, how ruthless Qin butcher is to the dog, since he was a child, he has never given him a good face. Otherwise, how could the dog Yu rather die than break off the father-son relationship with him! And his stepmother tsk......"

"Blood is thicker than water, no matter how bad my father is, it is also related by blood. Father and adoptive mother, everyone knows how to choose. Someone else retorted.

"And that's not all!" Not to be outdone, the woman who was the first to mention the matter said, "She also gave the dog Yu a restraint, and the dog will go to the school in two days." ”

"The dog is left to be bitter, and he will be happy in the future!"

"That's right, I don't know what shit luck the dog has left......"

The women were still talking, but they didn't notice that the Liu clan was not far behind them, hiding and eavesdropping!

After listening to everyone's discussions, Liu Shi stopped washing his clothes, hurried home, and told the Qin butcher what he said.

Butcher Qin was already upset because of the lack of business from Rich Master Liu's family, and when he heard this, he was even more furious, put the meat knife on the board, and said, "Rebel! I'm going to get that little bastard back. I want to see who dares to rob me of my son. Even if Lao Tzu's son is killed, he can't cheapen others. ”

"Boss, you wait." Liu Shi hurriedly grabbed him, she didn't want that little mongrel to come back and prick her eyes, and persuaded: "I heard that the adoption of the dog is a concubine who was kicked out by a big family, and the family is very rich, at least a few hundred taels of silver!" It's better to let Gou Yu stay at her house first, and then you can contact Gou Yu in private, say a few soft words, and give him a few good faces, Gou Yu will definitely be moved, and there is no overnight feud between father and son. When the time comes, will you tell me about the difficulties at home, and you are afraid that the dog will not be able to move money to our house? ”

"This ......" Butcher Qin hesitated a little.

"Oh, the head of the house, the dog is your son, shouldn't he honor you? If you want to blame it, blame that little prostitute for not having long eyes, snatching her son and grabbing your head, even if she emptied her family's money, she deserved it. Liu said with a look of indignation.

Then, she glanced at the face of the Qin butcher, and complained with a bitter face: "Rich Master Liu is no longer doing our family's business, the income is much less, Dabao was also beaten by Young Master Liu, and I still need to ask the doctor to drink medicine, go to school in the future to buy pen and ink, give gifts to the master, we need money everywhere, we have no choice!" ”

When Butcher Qin heard this, his eyes rolled, his expression became firm, and he said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

A few hundred taels of silver were about to be credited to the family, and the Liu family was suddenly overjoyed, his eyebrows fluttered, and he was thinking about how to spend the money.

Who knows, the next day, another "great thing" fell on their heads-

The eldest son of the Liu family deigned to come to the door.

Liu Shi looked at the fifty taels of white silver in front of him, his eyes were straight, and he stammered, "Liu ...... Liu Gongzi, you ...... What do you mean by that? ”

"It's just a deposit." Liu Dagongzi shook the paper fan and said, "If the matter is done, I will have a lot of money to offer." ”

Liu Shi stubbornly suppressed the ** who wanted to snatch the silver and stuff it into his pocket, swallowed his saliva, forced himself to look away from the silver, squeezed out a smile, and said flatteringly: "Liu Gongzi said that he laughed, your family has a big business, what do you need the help of our small people?" However, Young Master Liu asked us for help because he could afford us, but he had instructions that as long as we could do it, he would never shirk. ”

Although she knew that it might not be good for Liu Dashao to look for herself, how could she be willing to push the money out?

"Good!" Liu Dagongzi closed the fan, looked at the Qin butcher again, and asked, "What does the Qin butcher mean?" ”

"Liu Gongzi, let's talk about what's going on first, right?" Butcher Qin asked cautiously.

Liu Dagongzi nodded, and said shamelessly: "It's very simple, my son fell in love with that little lady in Xiao Qinzhuang, and I heard that your son was adopted by her, and you will not arouse her suspicion when you come to ask for your son." So, I want you to think of a way to bring her to your house. It's not hard for you, is it? ”

Liu Dagongzi observed for a few days, and found that he had no way to start at all, and he heard that the Qin clan also knew some fist and foot kung fu, which was very powerful, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Since it is too hard to come, he can only use some "special" means.

No matter how powerful a woman she is, as long as she loses her body, are she afraid that she will not obey herself?

Butcher Qin and Liu glanced at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, fortunately, it was not too difficult. Anyway, the women who were targeted by Liu Dagongzi did not escape his poisonous hands, and they just made a little effort. Besides, they are also thinking about calculating the Qin Clan! Helping Mr. Liu is just a matter of convenience.

Liu directly patted his chest and promised: "Since Liu Gongzi trusts us and his wife so much, how can we not agree." Don't worry, Childe, we will definitely lure people over to you. But ......"

"But what?" For the Qin butcher and his wife's upper path, Liu Dagongzi was still very satisfied, "What conditions do you have, just say it." ”

Liu didn't say it directly, but secretly kicked the Qin butcher.

Butcher Qin coughed lightly and said, "Gongzi Liu, if that little lady becomes a child's person, then her family property ......"

Liu Dagongzi showed a hint of arrogance on his face, and said disdainfully: "Don't worry, I only need people, not wealth." I, Liu Wanguan, still lack this money? As long as you have a way to get money from her, that's what you can do, and I don't care about the rest. ”

"Liu Gongzi is quick to talk, so we can rest assured." Liu said with a smile, she was afraid that after Liu Dagongzi got a little lady in the future, she would support her!

She was reluctant to give them the silver with these white flowers given to them by the eldest prince Liu, nor the family property of the little lady. Now that she can get it in her hands, why isn't she ecstatic?

……

Today, Qin Shu's house has been built nearly halfway, and it is quite rudimentary.

There are three main rooms, plus two small ear rooms, two east wing rooms plus a small ear room, the southeast corner is covered with a thatched toilet, the south side is covered with a livestock shed, and a biogas digester is built outside the wall, which is connected with the corral and the toilet, which is not only convenient for management, but also improves hygiene, and the west gate should also build a shed, which is as high as the stone house in the west. The courtyard is paved with a stone path, and there is also a stone path leading from the gate to the entrance of the house, which leads to the east and west houses and toilets. In addition, under a jujube tree in the yard, a stone table and a stone bench were also built.

The courtyard at the back was also fenced out, and a few trees were gathered by the way. Qin Shu looked at the title deed, the land that Qin's father bought was very large, but he couldn't use it before, Qin Shu simply built a wall as his backyard and opened a back door.

The backyard is bigger than the front yard, Qin Shu plans to plant some vegetables or something, and build two relatively low storage rooms on the east and west sides, and stack food and items in the future, and then build a carport and livestock shed. If you buy livestock or a car in the future, you can put it down.

However, once it is passed, it will cost more silver, and it will not be able to hold fifty taels of silver, and if it is added to the furniture, it will be nearly a hundred taels of silver.

Qin Shu attaches great importance to safety and **, so the yard she built has two characteristics, one is the high wall of the courtyard, and the other is strong.

Seeing the house being built day by day, Qin Shu's heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment.

However, at the moment, she is worrying about You'an's affairs.

She had already taken You'an to meet the master of Daqinzhuang, and presented gifts and bundles, and the master also accepted it, You'an could go to the school at any time, which didn't have to worry about Qin Shu.

What worries her is that You'an's household registration.

The household registration of the Dayan Dynasty was checked every three years, and the household registration was revised again as evidence of tax collection and service, so as to prevent anyone from concealing the population.

The last inventory was two years ago. Qin Shu only needs to persuade Li Zheng of Da Qinzhuang and Xiao Qinzhuang to put You'an's household registration in his own house, and report it when the household registration is checked a year later.

If Qin Shu wants to wait, he will actually have to wait, for fear that something will happen.

In this case, it is better to go directly to the county government and spend some money to ask the county government household scribe to help you change your household registration, so that it is a certainty.

Unfortunately, either way, the consent of You'an's biological father is required.

If Qin Shu adopted an orphan without a father and mother, it would be easy to say, but the problem is that You'an is not an orphan, which is a little troublesome.

If you want to say a way, she doesn't have it.

Whether it was coercion or inducement, she could always get Butcher Qin to agree to pass the child over to her.

But the means are certainly not glamorous.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was she who forcibly snatched the child of the Qin butcher.

You'an is still young, uncertain, and hates his father now, but not necessarily in the future.

As time passed, his hatred for his father subsided, and it may have been admiration and longing.

When he grows up, who can guarantee that he will not resent himself in his heart?

Alas, it seems that at present, I have to have a good talk with Butcher Qin, and if I can not do it, I will try not to do it.

……

At the same time, You'an, who was worried by Qin Shu, was in Daqinzhuang, with his friends.

Since the people of Daqinzhuang accepted him again, he gathered his younger brothers again.

It is an uninhabited courtyard, which has long been dilapidated, the grass in the yard is almost more than a meter high, and even the roof is gone, and the beggars disdain to stay here, but it has become a secret base for children.

You'an is very generous, has good things, and never hesitates to share them with his friends, which is one of the reasons why he can convince everyone.

Not to mention, he is also very bold, brave, capable, and very good at coming up with ideas, and his friends like to find him when they have any difficult things.

Since he was adopted by Qin Shu, the conditions have improved, and he has not forgotten about this group of friends, and often distributes good things to them to improve their food. For example, a few hard-boiled eggs, oil cakes, and even two steamed buns, a few pieces of sugar, a few pieces of meat, etc., were all secretly saved by himself.

- He will not have to make an inch, let his mother also support these partners of his.

Now that he has the silver, he is more generous, and often buys some delicious food for his companions.

At this time, You'an's face was not very good.

"What you said is true?" You'an asked a child who was reporting the news.

The boy looked to be only six or seven years old, he sniffed, nodded again and again, and said, "Brother Gou, it's true, I really saw Liu Wanguan go to your father...... No, I went to the Qin butcher's house. ”
