Li Manjiang didn't say it too explicitly, but Hu Rong didn't know the temper of his eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest girl has been disgusted by a lot of sisters-in-law at home, and if the two of them are not there in the future, the eldest girl will live by her brother and sister-in-law, which will definitely be unpleasant.

Besides, the youngest son is eighteen years old, but because there is such an eldest sister in the family, he has been rejected several times, and those girls don't want to have such a burden in the family in the future.

Hu Rong sighed, opened his mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, I know that you have good intentions, for the good of the big girl, but let me think about this matter again, if I don't sign the death deed, I can immediately respond to you now, but if I sign the death deed, I will sell myself as a slave, and I will not have any freedom in the future, and the child is so big, I am reluctant." ”

Hu's sister-in-law, Liu, was also crying on the side, wanting to say something but didn't say it in the end. She was reluctant to sell her daughter into slavery, but she was also afraid that her daughter would delay her youngest son's marriage and affect the family harmony of her eldest son, so her mood was very complicated. I want to disagree, but I'm afraid that I'll miss this opportunity, and I want to agree, but I'm really reluctant to have a daughter.

"Dad, mother, didn't I say it, such a good thing, what are you hesitating about, the girl went to the nobleman's house to rely on her own skills to be a needlework lady, not to be a girl who waits for people. The gatekeepers of those big families are much more decent than our ordinary families, and besides, the girl still has craftsmanship, if she gets the blue eyes of the nobles, she is not going to enjoy the blessings. No matter how bad it is, Qingjie and his eldest brother help take care of it, I don't think it's wrong. The person who spoke was Hu Rong's eldest daughter-in-law, Chen, who walked in with her four-year-old son Hu Baofeng in her hand.

It turned out that Hu asked Chen to go back to the house, and after Chen returned to the house, he thought that his sister-in-law and uncle would come over at this time, and there must be something wrong, so he secretly came over with his son, but as soon as she arrived at the door of the house, she heard Li Manjiang's words, and she stood at the door for a long time. At this time, seeing that his father-in-law was still hesitating, he hurriedly came in to express his position.

There is such a sister-in-law at home, who has caused a lot of right and wrong for her, and besides, her eldest daughter Baozhu is seven years old, and it will be time to discuss marriage in a few years.

"Chengyejia, your father said to think about it again, this is not a trivial matter after all." Liu said.

"Mother didn't I say, I think this is a great thing, but I heard that those big families are descended, there is still a monthly routine every month, the sister is not married for the rest of her life, and when she is old, she can save enough money for her retirement, and you can rest assured that it is not. Do you say, Qingjie, his eldest brother? Chen's last question was Li Da.

"Well, there is a monthly case of silver, our young master and the girl are good to the people, even the new people who go to the house also have a monthly case of 500 Wen, and the other four seasons are two new clothes, at least one meal of meat to eat every day, if the master is heavy in front of him, there is basically meat to eat, and the food is also fine, of course, the master's other reward is not included in this." Li Da said truthfully.

As soon as he said this, it didn't matter, everyone in the room widened their eyes, and Hu Shi said in a sharp voice, "Half a tael of silver a month, and there is meat to eat every day, and new clothes for the four seasons?" Such a good treatment, huh? ”

"Yes, this is talking about ordinary people, and the people who sweep at home are treated like this, if the people around the master or the people in charge, then it will be a few higher." Li Da said.

"Then Dalang, do you still need people, I don't sign a death deed, just give me 300 wen a month, as long as there is meat to eat every day, and new clothes in all seasons." Hu Shi said, and he didn't dare to look at Li Da at this time.

"Hehe, third aunt, the descendants of our family all want to sign the death deed, and they don't want to sign the death deed. But if the third uncle goes to Suzhou to show the young master the shop, it will be better than this treatment, why do you go to Fuyuan? Lee laughed.

"What, if your third uncle goes to Suzhou to see the shop, the treatment is better than what you said? What kind of treatment are they? Hu asked.

"I can't say this yet, but there should be a silver tael per month, and the new clothes of the four seasons must be purchased."

"Xianggong, then let's go to Suzhou, it's a tael of silver a month!" Hu Shi pulled Li Manjiang and said, in the past, Li Manjiang worked as a shopkeeper in a grocery store for only 300 yuan a month, and he couldn't earn a tael of silver in three months.

"Didn't I say a long time ago that even if I was a guy, I would go, if not for anything else, but for Qingjie to study!" Li Manjiang said angrily, this Hu family knows silver.

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go!" Hu Shi should admit it.

"But the third uncle and the third aunt, let's talk about the ugly things in front, when the shop opens, the third aunt is not allowed to go to the shop, let alone take the things of the shop casually." Li Da heard Li Qingxiu say that her third aunt used to go to the third uncle's grocery store all day long to get credit, or to get some needles and threads, anyway, it was a little cheap.

"Well, I'm not going, I'll wash his clothes and cook at home." Hu's eyes flickered.

"Third aunt, don't blame me for not reminding you, our young master is not an ordinary person, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, you have to affect the business of the shop, and when the time comes, the third uncle's shopkeeper will not be able to do it, and Qingjie's school will also be yellow!" Li Daxian put the ugly words in front.

"Xiaomi, you can't go and make trouble for your brother-in-law then, don't mess with him for such a good errand." Hu Rong heard that this was a good thing, and hurriedly warned his sister-in-law, he still knew his sister's temperament.

"Don't worry, Da Lang, eldest brother, I will take a good look at her, if she is disobedient, I will let myself go back to Narcissus Town, and I will live with Qingjie and Ye by myself." Li Manjiang said.

When Hu Shi heard this, he trembled in fright, "I won't go, I didn't say it, I definitely won't go to the shop." ”

"Daddy, listen to what a good errand this is, a month and a half taels of silver, which is more than the two brothers who have a family and a career, it is really a good place for sisters." Chen still remembered the matter of letting his sister-in-law go out, and hurriedly interjected on the side.

"That's good, but I'll think about it again! How to say this is also a big girl's big deal, and you have to ask her what she means. Although Hu Rong felt that the treatment was very good, he was still reluctant to sell his daughter into slavery.

"Ask her what she does, it's not all a word from her father. Father and mother, you can't just think about your daughter, you also think about success and jewels. Chengye has been rejected for marriage many times, Baozhu is also seven years old this year, and she will be married in a few years, and when people ask her about having such an aunt, how can Baozhu still say goodbye! Chen was a little anxious.

"Daughter-in-law, you can't say that, the big girl is also a poor person!" Liu's tears fell from Chen's words. Hu Rong also sighed and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Da felt that the atmosphere was depressed and panicked, he either had to buy someone else's daughter, or he felt that the woman was pitiful and helpful, and the girl's blue eyes who could go to Fuyuan could be regarded as the girl's new life. But now, how do you feel like a wicked person, so she quickly pulled Li Manjiang and whispered, "Third uncle, why don't we go back first!" ”

Li Manjiang also nodded, and was about to say goodbye, when suddenly a figure ran in from outside the door, and "poof" suddenly knelt in front of Hu Rong and Liu.

"Dad, mother, you just agree, the daughter is willing to sell herself as a slave!" Hu Shaomei said with tears on her face. She was in the next room, where everyone was talking and she could hear clearly.

"Big girl, why are you suffering, life and death are up to you after selling yourself as a slave, and the family is not unbearable, how can my father bear to let you go!" Hu Rong pulled Hu Shaomei and said.

"Dad, I don't want to drag down my eldest brother and younger brother at home, as well as my niece and nephew in the future, I would rather die on such a day, I shouldn't have been rescued in the river that year! You just let me go, if I live like this for the rest of my life, I'm willing to go out and break through! Hu Shaomei didn't get up, she cried on the ground, if it was for her father and mother, if it weren't for the little thoughts in her heart that she couldn't let go, she wouldn't want to live a long time ago.

"Dad and mother, since the sister is going, I think you will fulfill her!" Chen said on the side.

"Chengye daughter-in-law, don't you say a few words!" The Hu family couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but speak out to stop the Chen family. She has actually always felt sorry for this niece, and when she was not married, she helped her sister-in-law see this niece for two years.

Seeing this situation, Li Da sat there like a pins and needles, he regretted a little that he came to the Hu family today, because of his news, the Hu family destroyed the original hidden balance in the family, and made the father and daughter, mother and daughter of the family feel like this. But this was not a good time to say goodbye, and he could only sit there awkwardly.

At this time, Hu Shaomei, who was on the ground, turned around and bowed down to Li Da, "This chief steward, you can accept me, I heard just now, the treatment in the house is so good, I am willing to sell myself as a slave!" ”

Hu Shaomei had been facing away from Li Da just now, so Li Da didn't see his appearance clearly, turning around at this time, Li Da saw Hu Shaomei's face clearly, and suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body stiffened, he raised his hand and pointed at Hu Shaomei and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you, you are Xiaomei, are you Xiaomei?" ”

Hu Shaomei, who was begging, was also stunned when Li Da asked this, "How do you know my nickname?" ”

"You're Xiaomei, are you really Xiaomei?" Li Da asked in disbelief.

"You, you are, is it Brother Shi?" Hu Shaomei saw Li Da's face clearly, and asked in disbelief.

"I am, I'm a stone, Xiaomei!" Li Daxi said.

When Hu Shaomei heard this, she immediately spread out on the ground and cried, as if she wanted to cry out all these grievances, "Brother Shi, didn't you go to be a soldier, I thought, I thought you would never come back, woo~, Brother Shi, why did you come now!" ”。 RS
