009: Shameless Mrs. Liu
This is really a joke, Shen Niannian has been working as a cow and a horse in the Liu family for so many years, and he still lives by looking at people's faces, even if he hires a long-term worker, he can save several years of silver in the past ten years.
But now this old Mrs. Liu still has the face to say such things!
Shen Niannian was about to be laughed at by this ignorant old woman.
Now, she is even less worried about this Liu Ziyue.
has this kind of family member, even if he really has some ability to become an official, he will be miserable by these unclear family members in the future.
Liu Ziyue stood aside, his face was also a little unsightly, and he obviously thought of this.
But Shen was not surprised at all, she had been a daughter-in-law for so many years, she knew how shameless this old lady was, don't look at her words as if she was scaring people, but she knew that the old lady was definitely able to do this.
Wiped away his tears, Shen stood up and looked at her expressionlessly: "Yes, how much do you want to support her?" ”
The old lady didn't expect her to agree so simply, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Five taels of silver, not a penny less!" ”
Like an ordinary person living in the town, two taels of silver can live a year in peace, and this old lady will cost five taels of silver in one mouth, which is really a lion's mouth!
It was also expected that the Shen family would definitely not be able to come up with this money.
The old lady had her own little calculations in her heart, and she didn't really want the Shen family to leave the Liu family now.
As long as she is a member of the Liu family for one day, then Shen Niannian's marriage, she, the old lady, will naturally be able to do the mastery.
Although the ugly girl was ruined because of her face, the marriage was delayed.
But a few days ago, a matchmaker quietly came to the door in the morning, saying that Zhang Yuanwai's father in the town wanted to marry a girl from the countryside who could give birth to cubs.
Anyway, the old man is also a blind man, he doesn't care about the girl's beauty or ugliness at all, and he marries just to pass on the lineage.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yuanwai couldn't give birth to himself, how could such a good thing be this ugly monster?
That's a bride price of ten taels of silver, enough for their family to eat and drink well for a long time.
Mrs. Liu's heart crackled and thought, she was worried that she had no legitimate excuse, but now it's good, if this Shen family can't come up with the silver, she will take her ugly girl to pay for this support!
Although Brother An is small, he can understand it, and looked at Shen with teary eyes: "Mother, please don't reconcile with your father, woo, I don't want to be separated from you." ”
Shen Shibei came from it and sobbed: "My son, I don't want to be separated from you either, it's just that I'm already sorry for your sister, and I can't continue to wronged her so much." ”
The tears fell again, Shen squatted down, caressing An Ge'er's crying little face, and felt uncomfortable, after all, this was her own flesh and blood from her pregnancy in October!
How could she be reluctant?
"How's it going, Shen? Do you give this support fee? Mrs. Liu is aggressive, she doesn't care about her own grandson crying, anyway, she has a lot of grandchildren, this kind of broken shoes has never been liked by her.
Shen gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at Liu Er: "Liu Er, do you also think that this support fee should be given?" ”
Liu Er's face froze, no one knew better than him how Shen Niannian grew up in Liu's family.
This girl has nothing to do with their Liu family, so naturally his mother is not happy to raise such a child, so for so many years, it has been the Shen family who has worked hard to pull Shen Niannian to grow up, and his mother has opened her mouth widely, and five taels of silver is really a bit too much.
was about to speak, but Mrs. Liu kicked him directly, with a warning in her eyes.
Liu Er was foolish and filial, and was glared at by his mother, and immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this man's appearance, the Shen family still didn't understand, and he was completely dead to this person in his heart.
Snorting, Shen nodded: "Okay, five taels of silver, it's decided, you give me the letter of resignation first, and I will give you five taels of silver immediately." ”
Mrs. Liu sneered: "You are stupid to be an old lady, and if you give you a letter of resignation, will you give me five taels of silver?" You take out the money first! ”
Mrs. Liu didn't trust the Shen family, and the Shen family naturally didn't believe her either.
The old lady was a mess, and if she had taken the money out, she might have snatched it at once.
Shen's heart was ruthless, "Then let's go to Lizheng first, you bring the letter of resignation, and I will set up a note for you, and within ten days, I will give you five taels of silver." ”
Mrs. Liu's heart jumped at what she said, and she couldn't help but doubt it.
Could it be that these broken shoes really have five taels of silver hidden privately?
Thinking of this, she looked back at the second son, and found that his second son was also frowning, obviously not knowing that there was silver.
"Mother, let's go, that's five taels of silver! If the Shen family can't come up with the money after ten days, it's not too late for us to sell her ugly girl. Li Shi was also itchy when he heard five taels of silver, and hurriedly leaned into the old lady's ear and said.
The dowry of ten taels of silver is a lot, but the premise is that Shen Niannian will have to give birth to a son before he can get it.
This ugly girl is obviously a blessed person, even if they marry someone, they don't dare to pack a ticket, and they will definitely be able to give birth to a son.
Besides, the father outside the staff is an old guy with half a foot in the coffin, who knows if he can be hard against a new daughter-in-law?
Rather than this, it is better to hold a safe five taels of silver.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pondered for a while, thinking that even if the Shen family couldn't come up with the money, they could take the opportunity to rectify this woman who had the audacity to propose and leave, so they agreed and went to Lizheng for a trip.
Liu Er was very contradictory at this time, but Liu Ziyue was told by the old lady to write a letter of resignation.
Although Liu Ziyue said that he was not happy, he was also a little moved by the five taels of silver, after all, the money on his body was about to run out, and it would be good if he could really get five taels of silver.
The letter of resignation was written quickly, and Mrs. Liu snorted lightly and said to Liu Er: "Second child, with the letter of resignation, let's go to Lizheng's house." ”
The sky was already dark, Liu Da hurriedly went to find a torch, and the Liu family, a big family, walked towards Lizheng's house.
Li Zheng's house is one of the best houses in the whole village, and the courtyard built of blue bricks and tiles is very clean inside and out.
The people of Lao Liu's family wanted to come over, and they had already been notified by the villagers who had some good things to go to Lizheng's house.
Li Zheng looked impatient, only feeling that it was dark this day, and the people of the Liu family came over, just looking for trouble.
But for the sake of the Liu family's talented master, he still welcomed people into the house with a smile.
"Lizheng, the daughter-in-law of the second family is not filial to my wife, and it also disturbs the house, our Liu family must not have this kind of daughter-in-law, but for so many years, the Liu family has helped her raise her daughter, if they want to leave, then our Liu family can't be taken advantage of in vain, so the five taels of silver must be given before they can leave." Because of a talent in the family, Mrs. Liu is very arrogant in the village, even if it is Lizheng, she doesn't look down on it the same, and she opens her mouth to show her intention.
As everyone knows, when the family heard her words, they immediately felt that the old woman of the Liu family was very shameless, and the mother and daughter had worked hard for so many years.
It's really shameless for the lion to open his mouth to ask for so much support money.
But this was all discussed by themselves, and Li Zheng didn't plan to say anything, so as not to offend the Liu family.
Therefore, he directly called for a pen and paper and said to Shen: "Since you also agreed, then according to what you said, let's make a note first." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his pen and prepared to write.
Shen nodded, and hurriedly said, Mrs. Liu listened carefully, afraid that this shameless slut would set up their family.
"Okay, the note has been established, Shen, you only have ten days." The notes are in triplicate, and as a witness, Li Zheng also has to keep a copy for himself.
Mrs. Liu was satisfied, and said, "Second child, give her the letter of resignation, from now on, this Shen family is not our daughter-in-law." ”
Liu Er pinched the book of resignation, and looked at the Shen family with some struggle, and at this time, he found that he didn't want to take the Shen family anymore.
After all, after getting along for more than ten years, I have feelings for a dog, let alone a person!
Seeing him hesitating, Li quickly snatched the letter of resignation in his hand, threw it to Shen, and said with a smile: "His second uncle, don't worry, our brother Yue will become an official in the future, as his second uncle, are you still afraid that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" When the time comes, I will definitely find a better sister-in-law! ”
Liu Ermu kept his face silent, just watched Shen put away the resignation book, and for some reason, he seemed to regret it a little.
Brother An hugged Shen and cried, but in the end he was caught by the old lady.
Seeing that his son was sad, Shen was also crying, and his face was full of reluctance.
Seeing this, Shen Niannian on the side couldn't help but sigh lightly, and he was helpless.
After all, Brother An'er has the blood of the Liu family in her body, and she can't leave with the Shen family like her.
Even if Brother An is willing to do so, it is absolutely impossible for the Liu family to agree.
Old Mrs. Liu put away the notes, looked at Shen with a smug face, and snorted lightly: "Now that you are no longer from our Liu family, you don't have to go back with us, remember that in ten days, we will come to get the silver!" ”
Shen wiped his tears and did not say anything.
The people of the Liu family didn't mean to continue to bother, and left triumphantly with the note, and by the way, they also arrested Brother An, who was crying incessantly.
Liu Er stood in place and pestle for a while before leaving with a complicated face.
At this time, Shen suddenly cried loudly, and his voice tended to be hoarse.
Shen Niannian couldn't bear it, although he felt that Shen's toughness and persistence were very strange, but he still pressed it in his heart, and hurriedly comforted him: "Mother, don't cry, anyway, we all live in the same village, and it's not like we won't see Brother An in the future." ”
