Chapter 33: The Bitter Meat Scheme (2)

"Xiaoyu, why are you crying, don't cry, ......"

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu burst into tears, Lu Yishou hurriedly took the silk handkerchief and handed it to Ye Xiaoyu.

"It's okay, Uncle Lu, I'm just a little moved......"

Ye Xiaoyu said while wiping her tears.

"What to move, this is what I should do."

Lu Yishou said with a smile.

"Master, the meal is ready......

Lao Wu stood in the courtyard with two maids carrying plates.

"Hurry up and bring it in, do you want to wait until it's cold before giving it to us!!"

When Lu Yishou saw them, he was angry.

After listening to Lu Yishou's words, Lao Wu took the lead, carefully put the food on the table, and then slowly retreated outside the house and stood by the door.

"Old Five, you go to Lao Geng's place to settle your salary, and go home tomorrow......"

Lu Yishou said to the fifth brother standing outside the door.

How can such a person stay in the Lu family any longer, and still be a housekeeper, as the head of the family, if he doesn't even have this power, what is the use?

"Huh?"

Lao Wu didn't react a little.

"What are you doing in a daze, I mean you won't be using it tomorrow......"

Seeing that the fifth child was stunned, Lu Yishou repeated it again.

"Master, I won't dare next time, I know I'm wrong, don't drive me away......"

Hearing Lu Yishou's words, the fifth child who reacted was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Let's go, I'm so tired today, you go down, I don't want to continue this topic......"

Lu Yishou's voice was a little tired, and he was too lazy to take care of the fifth child.

"Uncle Lu, Fifth Uncle is just joking today......"

Ye Xiaoyu opened her mouth to ask for mercy.

"Xiaoyu, don't say it, I've already decided......"

Lu Yishou directly interrupted Ye Xiaoyu's words.

may have sensed the resoluteness in Lu Yishou's words, and the fifth child no longer admitted his mistake, patted his clothes directly, stood up, and left.

The original name of the fifth was Jiang Wushan, and because of the "five" at home, he was called "the old five". Although it is called "Lao Wu", Lao Wu is actually a middle-aged man, about the same age as Lu Yishou, dignified and decent, so many people are blinded by his appearance, and ignore that he is actually a very dark person in his heart, especially like to play tricks. Although he didn't stay in the Lu family for a long time, because Lu Yishou was usually busy, many things had to go through the hands of the fifth child, and the power gradually became very large, and sometimes he didn't even listen to Lu Yishou's words much.

may be really hungry, Ye Xiaoyu and Hong'er ate very well on the table, looking at Ye Xiaoyu who was taking a big bite of rice, Lu Yishou had mixed feelings, and Ye Qing's face appeared in front of Lu Yishou again.

That year, Lu Yishou was 20 years old, and he was still a small worker who specialized in transporting goods to the south for others. That year, Ye Qing was 18 years old, and he was still a talent who was desperately studying at home to gain fame.

If it weren't for Ye Qing, he might have died in the south a long time ago, because of Ye Qing, he has the current road Yishou, Ye Qing has paid a lot for himself, but now, he didn't even take care of his only daughter.

"Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Xiaoyu, who was eating, noticed Lu Yishou's sad expression, so he stopped and asked.

"Oh, nothing, just remembering something old for a while. Xiaoyu, eat more......"

Lu Yishou paused and grabbed himself back from his memory.

After eating, he sent Lu Yishou away, Ye Xiaoyu washed up casually, and lay on the bed.

It's good in this time and space, I'm still young, I don't have work pressure every day, and I can lie in bed and think beautifully after taking a bath, but I'm depressed, I can only lie in bed and think about it, because there is neither the Internet nor TV here.

In the afternoon, Ye Xiaoyu made a small ploy, but in fact, she just changed a way to let Lu Yishou know about it. It is a fact that Lao Wu didn't give Ye Xiaoyu charcoal, and he admitted it himself, and in the end he was dismissed by Lu Yishou, which was completely self-inflicted, Ye Xiaoyu didn't feel any guilt about Lao Wu. It's just that Lu Yishou will leave the Lu family tomorrow, without the protection of Lu Yishou, his life in the Lu family will definitely be more difficult, he must always be cautious and careful in everything.

However, tomorrow the gentleman from the school will come, and he will go to school with Ling Yu and Qinglang, and return to the simple days when he was studying, except for staying with Lu Qian, the rest should be fine. Oh, by the way, I was messed with by that charcoal thing just now, and Ye Xiaoyu almost forgot about a small plan for her afternoon.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu quickly got up from the bed, walked to the cabinet next to her, took out the cloth she bought this afternoon, and took out the set of needles and threads from the drawer and put it on the table. As soon as it was ready, Ye Xiaoyu spread out the cloth and began to plan.

The fabric I bought this afternoon has a strange shape, it is square, and the length and width are almost the same. When I bought cloth, I measured it on a foot of cloth with my hands, and a foot was about 33.3 centimeters long, then a half-foot was 16.65 centimeters, and a quarter of a foot was about 8 centimeters. However, if the length and width of a handkerchief are only 8 centimeters, it seems to be a little smaller. But I don't have a reference on hand, so it's hard to cut.

"Hong'er, Hong'er...... Did you sleep? ”

Ye Xiaoyu shouted towards the outhouse.

"Huh? Miss, what's the matter? ”

Hong'er replied in a daze in her dream.

"Hong'er, do you still have a handkerchief?"

Ye Xiaoyu's handkerchief was dirty, so she took it and washed it, and there was no extra handkerchief at hand.

"There are a few, and they haven't been embroidered yet, miss, what do you want a handkerchief for?"

Hong'er gradually came to her senses.

"Give me one, I'll be useful."

Ye Xiaoyu said and walked to the bedside of Hong'er in the outhouse.

"Huh?! Miss, why are you standing here, scaring me......"

Hong'er looked up and suddenly saw Ye Xiaoyu and was startled.

"What are you afraid of, I just came out. Give me a handkerchief. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said softly to the sleepy-eyed Hong'er.

"Miss, I don't have a handkerchief myself, this is for private work."

Hong'er took a white unembroidered handkerchief from the bedside and gave it to Ye Xiaoyu.

"It's okay, I'm not here to wipe my hands and nose and so on...... It won't get dirty, you go back to sleep, I'll give it back to you tomorrow......"

Seeing Hong'er's worried look, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.

After taking the handkerchief, Ye Xiaoyu returned to the inner room and sat down at the table.

This afternoon, in order to bargain, I bought two pieces of fabric of slightly embarrassing size, but fortunately I took another piece of leftover material later, so that after cutting according to the size of this handkerchief, the remaining fabric can be matched with the leftovers to make a few more pieces.

Ye Xiaoyu put the white handkerchief on top of the fabric and began to cut it according to its outline. The length and width of the white handkerchief are about 10 centimeters, and after the two fabrics bought in the afternoon are completely cut into two handkerchiefs, there are still good polygonal scraps left. Ye Xiaoyu simply cut the remaining fabric and the piece given by the cloth shop owner today into small squares, and then spliced the small squares of different colors, so that Ye Xiaoyu actually put together three handkerchiefs on the table, plus the complete two, and he made 5 handkerchiefs in 20 pieces. Aunt Lin at the head of the village said that each handkerchief was 5 yuan, but Ye Xiaoyu guessed that the actual market price must be more than that, but she had to be tired and take it to the capital to sell.

Under the flickering candlelight, 10-year-old Ye Xiaoyu was working hard to sew the handkerchief on the table with white thread. Since she had just started her own little plan, her excited cells filled her whole body, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

At this time, in the room of the first guard on Dongxiang Road, something else was happening.

"I heard that you're going to fire the fifth?"

Jiang Ping sat at the table and said quietly.

"yes......"

"Why was he fired, did he do something wrong?"

Jiang Ping continued to ask.

"Huh...... It's a long story, but you don't have to worry about it. ”

Lu Yishou didn't want to mention it again.

"You fired the housekeeper at home for no reason, and you didn't let me mention it."

Although Jiang Ping's words were steady, they were unquestionable.

"He's gone too far, I have to fire him......"

Lu Yishou suddenly felt a little irritable.

"What if I don't let you fire him?"

Jiang Ping looked at Lu Yishou with a smile.

"Madam, why are you bothered, you can let me be the master of this matter once......"

The road was guarded, and there was a little pleading in his voice.

"Master, I will try my best to give you face in front of outsiders, so that you can be the head of the Lu family, but in private, we agreed early on that you must listen to me, and this matter is no exception."

"Madame......"

"Needless to say, I have already told Lao Wu to continue to stay at the Lu family tomorrow. Before you make any decisions in the future, can you stop being as hasty as you are today, and it is best to come and discuss with me. ”

Jiang Ping looked up at Lu Yishou standing beside him, smiling, but undoubtedly.

"It's not early, you have to go out tomorrow, rest early......"

Jiang Ping smiled and said to Lu Yishou who was on the side.

Eh......

Lu Yishou sighed silently in his heart.

The winter night is getting deeper and deeper, the whole Quanxiu Village has gradually fallen asleep, only the lights of the Lu family are still faintly on, the happy families are similar, but the unfortunate families are different, the Lu family, I don't know if it is happy or unlucky.
