"Mother, if I send my cousin Xiu'er to the Jin family as a concubine, it will really ruin my future, and my classmates will look down on me!" Li Qingjie explained.

"How is it possible, it's a decent thing to marry the Jin family for many years, it's too late for them to slap you." Hu also tried to persuade his son.

Li Qingjie saw that he couldn't make sense with his mother, so he sighed weakly, as the saying goes, he doesn't think his mother is ugly, and he can't do anything to his mother, so he can only say seriously, "Mother, I can't make sense with you, you just need to remember that if my cousin is sent to the Jin family as a concubine, I won't be able to be an official even if I am admitted to the top prize." Although he was not so strict, he deliberately said that he was strict, in order to let his mother know the strictness of things.

"What? Why is this, what does it have to do with her Li Qingxiu if you are an official or not! Hu asked in disbelief, what she cared about most was her son's future.

Li Qingjie was also in a hurry to go out and didn't want to say more, so he could only say helplessly, "Mother, anyway, I can't make sense with you, and you don't understand it, you just need to keep this in mind, and I won't be unable to get along with my future!" ”

Listening to his son's words, Hu Shi was obviously shaken, and the body blocking the door also moved, Li Qingjie saw that Hu Shi did not stop him, so he hurriedly followed his father to set up an ox cart.

Li Qingjie's last sentence touched the Hu family, yes, why can't her son get along with her own future, but she still doesn't know why sending Li Qingxiu to the Jin family as a concubine will affect her son's future.

Here, when Li Manjiang had just set up the ox cart and was about to go out, there was a knock on the courtyard door again, and a slightly respectful voice said, "Is this the home of Li Manjiang, the third master of the Li family?" ”

Li Manjiang's actions paused, he is indeed Li Manjiang, but who is the third master of the Li family? He used to be a small shopkeeper, but no one has ever taught him the word "master".

He handed over the ox cart to his son, went to open the door himself, and saw a well-dressed young man standing outside the door, followed by a small man holding a box, and when he saw Li Manjiang open the door, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Is this the mansion of Li Manjiang, the third master of the Li family?" ”

Li Manjiang said confusedly, "I am Li Manjiang, I don't know who this little brother is?" ”

In fact, this person is Dongzi, Dongzi saw that he had found the right person, and hurriedly reported to his home, "I have seen Master Li San, I am an errand runner by the side of Master Jin in Jinjia Village, you can call me Dongzi, today I specially served the order of our master, and came to give you something." ”

When Li Manjiang heard that it was from the Jin family, he immediately frowned, and his face was displeased, "Our family has no friendship with your Jin family!" ”

Dongzi had obviously guessed that it would be such treatment, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Li San, see if you can let us in first, let's talk about it." ”

"Let's talk about anything here." Li Manjiang didn't want to let the people of the Jin family enter the door.

"Well, this, things are a little important, it's better to go in and say it's more convenient." Dongzi was embarrassed, but his attitude has always been very respectful, because before going out, the master specially told him to have a good attitude and be respectful.

At this time, the Hu family in the door also heard that it was someone from the Jin family, so he hurriedly opened the door attentively, "Oh, this steward, hurry up and invite at home, please at home." Although her son said that she couldn't let Li Qingxiu go to the Jin family as a concubine, she still didn't dare to offend the people of the Jin family.

Dongzi got off the donkey and followed him into the courtyard, Li Manjiang didn't want to entertain them, but now he couldn't go out, he still had to hear what the Jin family sent someone to do. Seeing Hu's courteous attitude, he was angry, and directly threw up his sleeves and sat down in the hall.

Hu led Dongzi and the two into the hall behind him, and asked Dongzi to sit down, Dongzi hurriedly excused himself, "I won't sit as a minion, this is what our master asked me to send something, please take a look at Master Li San." Then let the little guy push the wooden box he was holding in his hand in front of Li Manjiang.

Li Manjiang opened the wooden box with a cold face, and when he saw the contents inside, he was shocked, "This, what does this mean?" ”

Hu Shi couldn't see what was inside, so he was a little anxious, and hurriedly went around behind Li Manjiang, craned his neck to look into the wooden box, and was suddenly shocked when he saw it. Although Hu is illiterate, she still recognizes the title deed, and she has seen the real estate deed run by their family.

She could see at a glance that there was a house deed inside, and it was also stamped with the big seal of the government, and she couldn't help but point to the box and say, "This, this is for our family?" ”

Dongzi said with a smile on his face, "Yes, Grandma Li San, this is the grocery store where Master Li San used to be the shopkeeper, our master asked the small one to be sent, and you will be the owner of this grocery store in the future!" ”

"What? The grocery store? Hu Shi couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart, although the grocery store was not big, but it was a good location in the town, and it would not cost a hundred or eighty taels to buy it! Now it's just for them, God, it's not a dream!

Two days ago, she was still worrying about how to let her father-in-law go back to the grocery store as a shopkeeper, and why she became the owner of the grocery store after a while.

Although Li Manjiang also wanted this gift, he knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he covered the box and pushed it to Dongzidao, "No merit, forgive us for not accepting Master Jin's kindness!" ”

Seeing that Li Manjiang didn't accept it, Dongzi was a little surprised, you must know that such a good shop can sell dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels of taels, which is enough for their family to live loosely and quickly for decades. Even if you don't sell your own business, you can also have a good income every month.

"I can't call the shots for this little one, the master only told me to send things over. If Master Li San really doesn't accept it, please go and return it to our master in person. Please don't embarrass us people. Dongzi spoke very skillfully, he was sure that Li Manjiang would not go to their master, even if he did, he would not find it.

After Dongzi said this, he took the little guy, arched his hand as a farewell, and turned around and walked quickly. Li Manjiang grabbed the box and was about to chase it, but found that the box had already been tightly held in his arms by the Hu family, who was one step ahead of him.

Li Manjiang said angrily: "Hurry up and give it to me." ”

Hu Shi hugged the box and said confidently: "Xianggong, you are stupid, this is a real shop!" A pie-in-the-sky thing, how do you push it out! ”

Li Manjiang was about to grab the box, "How can there be a free lunch in the world, hurry up and give it to me!" ”

But Hu Shi was determined not to give it this time, and used his strength to protect the box, and would rather roll on the ground than let go. Li Manjiang really couldn't help her after dying for a while, and he was suddenly sweating profusely.

Li Qingjie came in from outside, and when he saw the appearance of his parents, he also shouted anxiously, "Don't rob it, it's too late, people came in a carriage, and they are gone now." ”

When Li Manjiang heard this, he let go of the Hu family, sat down with a decadent face, pointed at the Hu family and said, "As the saying goes, a virtuous wife and a good husband have few misfortunes, are you, an ignorant woman, trying to kill our family?" ”

Hu Shi was panting and holding the box at this time, but it didn't affect her good mood, she was going to be the owner lady, thinking that she didn't have to stammer when she saw the owner lady of the grocery store before, this time it was her turn to be majestic.

"Xianggong, I'm just doing it for the good of our family, our family is now a person with a shop in the town, and when I go back to my parents' house, my sister-in-law must be envious of me." Hu said proudly.

"If you dare, give me the things quickly, or I'll write a letter of resignation now, and I'll divorce you!" Li Manjiang was very angry this time, and he was worried about his eldest brother and niece, so he said cruel things, but in fact, he didn't really want to divorce the Hu family.

"You want to divorce me, why did you divorce me, I am the one who has kept filial piety to your father and mother, I have been in your house for so many years and gave birth to a son for you, and I have given you a run of the family, what reason do you have to divorce me! If you want to divorce, I will also ask my mother's brothers if they agree! "Not to mention how important it is for the daughter's family to have a good mother's family, as soon as the Hu family heard that Li Manjiang wanted to divorce himself, he immediately took out his mother's family.

Usually, as long as the Hu family says this, Li Manjiang will be short of breath, because the father-in-law's family has really helped his family a lot. But today, after Li Manjiang heard this, he patted the table and said, "It's up to you to make your own decisions, if you don't listen to your husband, I can divorce you, and I have to ask my uncle when I go back, should our Li family be my master or your Hu family?" ”

Hu Shi was frightened by Li Manjiang's slapping on the table, and seeing that his father-in-law's face was pale, his heart began to feel weak, and he muttered, "I'm not doing this for the good of my family!" ”

"I'm in charge of the family's major affairs, when it's your turn to decide! If you don't want to take a break, give me something! Li Manjiang did not have any room for negotiation.

Hu Shi had no choice but to take out the wooden box from his arms, and hesitantly put it on the corner of the table, "Are you really going to go to Master Jin to retreat?" ”

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this!" Li Manjiang picked up the box and walked out.

As soon as I walked to the door, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Li Manjiang was stunned, and he didn't know whether to open the door or not, because the people who knocked on the door twice today were a little strange.

Hu Shi said with a happy face, "I'll open the door, I'll open the door!" She thought to herself that all the nobles came to the house today, maybe there were some surprises waiting for her outside the door now.

Hu Shi opened the door with a happy face, but when he saw Li Da standing at the door, his face suddenly changed, and his face was pulled down, "Why are you here!" ”

Li Da was overjoyed when he saw Hu Shi open the door, but when he saw that his face was dark, he felt very uncomfortable, but he knew Hu Shi's nature, so he didn't care about her, and still called her well, "Third aunt, is my third uncle here, I'm here to find my third uncle." ”

Hu was afraid that Li Da was here to fight the autumn wind, and just wanted to say that he was not there, but he heard the sound of eager footsteps coming from inside, "It's Da Lang, come in." ”RS
