Chapter 118: Coercion
The old lady fox was lying on a big mahogany bed, half-lying, holding a long cigarette stick in his hand, smoking it bably, and in the smoke, he only saw him open his eyes and look at Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou who walked in.
Fox Dayou was in front, Wei Sanniang was behind, and the two respectfully saluted the old lady fox.
"The old lady is well!"
The old fox lady snorted her eyelids, nodded with a cigarette stick in her mouth.
"When I first came back from the market, I happened to meet my father, and I heard that you always came to see him, so I brought the children to see you." Fox Dayou lowered his head slightly and said.
The old lady fox still nodded with a cigarette stick in her mouth.
"The kids are waiting outside, and I'll let them in and say hello to you?" Fox Otomo said again.
The old lady fox took the last puff of his cigarette, the thick smoke covered his expression, I don't know whether to agree or disagree, it took a while for Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang to hear him "um".
The three of them stood quietly outside the house and waited, and the cold wind blew their faces painfully. Although their clothes are very warm now, their shoes are still ordinary cotton shoes, and after only standing for a while, Hu Xiaomei feels that her feet are stiff.
There was only the faint voice of the fox in the house, but there was no old fox lady, she felt that this was a bit like the posture of a distant guest from a high-ranking family who came to see the housewife, and had to wait for the summons to enter.
After a while, the impatient fox fence began to look around.
At this moment, I saw Wei Sanniang open the curtain and walk out, and she glanced at the three of them. The three of them immediately followed into the house respectfully.
The curtain is really easy to use, the door is just open, and the room is very warm.
Fox Xiaomei entered the house and quickly glanced at the old fox lady lying on the bed, who was thinner than when Hu Liyu got married a while ago, her face was full of Zhezi marks, her eyelids drooped, but her eyes were not as cloudy as ordinary old people, and she was clear and energetic.
Fox Xiaomei quickly lowered her head, she already had an impression of this old man in her heart, shrewd!
Really. The old lady fox's old eyes immediately swept towards the fox Xiaomei.
Fox Xiaomei followed Fox Lixiang and saluted the old lady fox.
"You've got a heart!" The old lady fox withdrew his gaze. It wasn't until the fox Xiaomei's back was bent that she heard the old fox speak.
The old lady fox didn't speak, and the three of them could only keep their posture of saluting.
These are the words that Wei Sanniang has repeatedly told before coming.
Where is this high-ranking family to see the main mother, it is simply the concubines to see the queen mother.
That's how the concubines who saw them on TV greeted the Queen Mother.
No matter how cold the weather is, no matter how hard the ground is, I have to wait for the Queen Mother to "flat" before she dares to get up.
Before getting up, the concubines not only had to kneel down to thank them. I have to say something like "Thank you for the Empress Dowager".
But. Change here. Fox Dayou didn't kneel, he smiled and said, "We are juniors, we should." ”
The old lady seems to be very satisfied with the attitude of the fox friend. finally smiled, and chatted with Fox Dayou, and finally said, "This is your daughter and boy?" ”
Seeing that the old lady fox's eyes swept over the children, he knew that his memory was not as good as before, so he explained one by one: "This is the eldest daughter Lixiang, this is the second daughter Lijing, and this is the junior, the fence." ”
"Oh!" The old lady fox suddenly realized, and she really forgot it. Then he waved his hand to Fox Dayou and the others: "I'm tired, you can go back." ”
Fox Otomo led his wife and daughter to salute and exited the house one by one.
As soon as she got out of the house, a cold wind blew in her face, and the air immediately became fresh, and Hu Xiaomei felt that even her chest was much more refreshing.
Fortunately, she didn't cross over into the concubine of any emperor and prince, and she couldn't do it anyway!
Look at the fox fence incense and the fox fence are all secretly relieved.
Fox Xiaomei smiled secretly in her heart. It turns out that she is not the only one who hates this red tape!
When he got out of the old fox's house, he saw that the old man fox was already sitting in the courtyard, and on the table next to him, Chen had made the tea for him, and he should naturally go back after visiting the sick. Fox Dayou walked towards the fox master, the fox master was closing his eyes, he tapped one finger on the chair gently, guessing that he might be humming a song silently.
"Uncle, let's go back first if it's okay."
The fox master paused and lifted his eyelids. He looked at Hu Xiaomei, who was standing behind Wei Sanniang: "This is your second child?" ”
Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou were stunned, but they didn't expect him to suddenly ask about Fox Xiaomei and said, "Yes." ”
"It's a little bit taller than the previous two years." Master Fox commented lightly. He asked Fox Dayou again: "I heard that your family is doing business with a needlework now?" ”
Fox Dayou sighed in his heart, and replied truthfully: "The family has a large population and too much expenses, so I have to break my head to earn money, but I fortunately found someone to do needlework." It's kind of able to make ends meet. ”
That is, just to help the sewing workshop.
But there are many people in Hujia Village who are envious, and they all say that it is a big business.
How could the fox master let go of this good opportunity to ask.
"How did I hear you guys seem to be helping with some kind of jacket?"
Fox Dayou's face stiffened, and then he said: "They give things, negotiate the style of the clothes, and let's help sew them." ”
The customer specifies the type of jacket they want, which can be regarded as a self-selected style!
However, the fox friend underestimated the fox master's determination to find out, and also underestimated the fox master's cheekiness.
"Since you are familiar with the people in the needlework workshop, you are all a family, so let's take the eldest daughter-in-law and a few of them together. There is silver to earn together, and the reason why our fox family can make the fox family village named after our surname is because our previous ancestors are united, so that we can be the head of a village. Although our fox family is not as good as before, we must not forget our roots, and unity is the basic ...... of family development."
The fox master gushed endlessly, talking eloquently about how the fox family should unite and so on, and the ultimate goal was to want Wei Sanniang to take several mothers-in-law of the Chen family to do it together. In the past, when Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang couldn't even afford to drink porridge, they didn't see Master Fox say anything about the fox family to support each other, but now they will come to teach. Moreover, the brothers of the fox family have ten acres of land alone. Who has five rich families in Hujia Village, and now Master Fox is going to divide Wei Sanniang's business as soon as he comes, and his face is really thicker than the city wall.
Fox Xiaomei smiled coldly in her heart, fortunately, her honest father was not honest at all at this time, not stupid, and he just didn't let go.
In the end, the fox master impatiently accused the fox Dayou: "You are only pushing back on such a trivial matter, do you still have an elder like me in your eyes, and an old lady?" He pointed to the fox Xiaomei behind him and said, "I heard that you came up with this idea." The deed you signed with the sewing shop. I'll leave it to you. ”
Fox Xiaomei pursed her lips secretly, and said timidly and hesitantly on her face: "This, it doesn't seem to work!" ”
"What?" The old fox's eyes opened and he said angrily.
Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang had to think twice before speaking in front of him. A junior dared to reject him so directly. It's really the opposite!
The old man fox is in the fox family, but except for the old lady. Whoever says the same!
"How do you teach on a daily basis? How dare you talk back to your elders? The old man glared at Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang with an angry face, pointed at Fox Xiaomei and said coldly: "Junior, I let you do something because I can afford you, and I dare to fight back!" Then he glanced at Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang, who were bowing their heads. stared at Hu Xiaomei coldly, and said: "You are the rules of the fox family, you should know, if there are elders in everything, the elders should be in charge, when will it be the juniors' turn to dictate?" A junior only obeys orders! These words were obviously said to Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang.
Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang didn't dare to openly confront the fox master, so they could only bow their heads and listen to the training, a few people stood in the courtyard of the fox family, the courtyard gate was still open, if someone passed from the outside, the situation inside could be seen clearly.
This is to put the faces of Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang outside the door, and I want the whole village to see it!
The scent of the fox fence is so white that his face is white!
Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang didn't speak, and she couldn't make a sound.
The fox fence is not as fragrant as the fox fence, he clenched his hands into fists, raised his head, and said: "The fox master ......"
Fortunately, Hu Xiaomei's sharp eyes and hands quickly pulled him down, but these three words were enough for the old fox to see his intentions.
He looked at the fox fence and the fox Xiaomei with disdain, stared at the fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang coldly, and said: "The elder didn't speak, he dared to speak, this is his tutor?" I went to school for more than half a year, and the books were read to the dog's stomach, so I don't think I'd go to the school for this kind of behavior, so as not to insult Mr. ”
This is not a light scolding.
Wei Sanniang lowered her head, so angry that her hands were shaking. Fox Dayou Tie blushed face, did not speak in a muffled voice, and did not admit his mistake.
Just now she said that it was a family, and now she has degraded her son to worthless. This is the fox family, the squeaky stumbling in the past few years has made Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou finally figure it out, no matter what they do, they will never be looked down upon by the fox family.
So why do they bother to treat these people as relatives?
Wei Sanniang took a deep breath and slowly straightened her back! Fox Otomo also made a decision in his heart.
The old man fox trained the fox fence through, and saw that the fox family didn't dare to say a word, and his heart was more comfortable, and he had finished venting, he hadn't forgotten the business, and told the fox friend again.
"The next time you come to the sewing shop, you must remember to call your sister-in-law."
It's impossible!
Wei Sanniang said in her heart, she looked sideways at Fox Dayou, Fox Dayou's expression had returned to calm, he was also looking over, the two exchanged glances, and Fox Dayou threw a reassuring look at her.
However, before he could speak, he heard the fox Xiaomei behind him say: "I'm sorry Master Fox, I'm afraid this thing can't go as you wish." ”
"What?" Even if he heard Hu Xiaomei refuse once just now, when he heard her clearly say no, the old man fox was still surprised.
Fox Xiaomei's expression was cold, her eyes were level, she spoke slowly and unhurriedly, she was generous, and all the previous cowardice and timidity were gone. She looked at the fox master lightly, and said: "The fox master, I'm sorry, this business is not our final say, if you really want to do business with the sewing workshop, you can go to the Wu shopkeeper there, if you want to do our business, but we have a contract with the sewing workshop, which clearly says that it cannot be leaked in the slightest, otherwise we have to pay liquidated damages, and we can't afford to pay the liquidated damages." If you insist on this business, then you will have to pay the liquidated damages first. (To be continued......)
