As a father-in-law, Qiao Baisheng is not good at teaching his daughter-in-law directly, and he also feels that talking more to his daughter-in-law simply lowers his style as a scholar; Ignoring Yue's argument at all, he pointed to the place in the middle of the courtyard that was heated by the sun, "The three of you all go and stand over there." ”

It's July, the hottest time of the year! But not a drop of rain has fallen in the last half a month, the sun is scorching day by day, and now it is the end of the hour, although it is not as hot as noon and not yet, but it is enough to bear.

However, the old lady spoke, and no one dared to refute it, the Yue family took the lead, and the three of them complained about me, and I complained about your pushing and shoving to go down to the sun.

"It's all the two of you, you can't say anything well, why do you want to do it?" Yue's family is not afraid of Qiao Chengjin, but he is afraid that Qiao Baisheng's head will have a convulsion and dislike her for entering the door for so many years, and it will be ugly if she wants Qiao Chengjin to divorce his wife.

"It was the second sister-in-law who made the first move, am I waiting to be beaten?" Not to be outdone, Yang snorted, actually a little worried that Qiao Chengtong would be angry when he came back.

"You're talking nonsense first." Of course, the Li family was not convinced, and glanced at the Yang family, but he didn't dare to shout and scold loudly to provoke Qiao Baisheng's attention in the hall.

Qiao Baisheng followed their family, in Qiao Chengyin's eyes, it seemed to be a symbol of glory that was affirmed, and the Li family could be arrogant in small things, but if she heard that she disobeyed the wishes of the old man, she could do anything.

After all, Qiao Baisheng is a seventy-eight-year-old man, and people of this age can be regarded as long-lived old people in Baijiaji, not to mention Lijia Village. In a hurry, his face was very ugly, and he looked dead up close. Qiao Yuanfu, who gave him a back and rubbed his legs, felt panicked.

Time passed little by little, Qiao Hammer ran all the way and was tired and sweaty, and finally fulfilled his mission and invited all the three brothers of the Qiao family back. Of course, the three brothers entered the door and saw the three concubines sweating like rain in the sun, and they had all doubts and distress in their hearts, but no one dared to speak when they saw the old father sitting in the middle of the hall, and they came to the alley with their heads and knelt down, and did not speak.

"Why don't you speak? Dumb, huh? Qiao Baisheng lifted his eyelids and asked in a cold voice.

"Dad, your old man is discouraged." Qiao Chengjin took the lead, and the three brothers cared in unison. made Qiao Baisheng's expression in the hall soothe by two points. After all, none of the three sons took care of their daughter-in-law first, and they all thought about how to let him dissipate his anger.

"Can I degasse?" Of course, Qiao Baisheng's mouth was still stiff, "You ask what they have done?" ”

On the way back, Qiao Hammer had already made things so simple that the three of them made it clear. But they are all confused, and they can't sort out the accounts. Qiao Baisheng asked, and the three of them are the only ones, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer.

"Now. The flowers of the wooden family were given to the Guan family as a child daughter-in-law, the dowry was received, and the household registration was passed; Our family signed a deed of sale with the young master of the Li family. Received the money. A man does not stand without faith! Fortunately, when he signed the deed of sale with the young master of the Li family, he used the name of the daughter of the Shi family. It's actually very easy to do! I think Cheng Tong's daughter-in-law is right, whoever signs the deed of sale will send Ming'er to Li's house. Qiao Baisheng was very satisfied with this state where the whole family was in the middle but didn't dare to say a word, which proved that he, the absolute head of the family, was still comforting. He had also thought about today's matter, only in this way could it be resolved most satisfactorily, and Qiao Yuanhui's feelings were not within the scope of his consideration at all.

"Do you hear that?" Ignoring the gasping sound of Yu Dongxiang and the low whimpering sound afterwards, Qiao Baisheng glared at the three sons at the door with a tiger face.

"I hear you." Qiao Chengyin, who was the party to the incident, dared to say anything, but nodded with a bitter face.

"Ahem," Qiao Baisheng coughed weakly twice, signaling Qiao Yuangui and Qiao Yuanfu to help him go to the house, and he felt tired and panicked before he came out to preside over justice for such a while, and he didn't forget to teach his three sons a lesson: "When can you save your worries?" ”

As soon as he entered the door, the little Li rushed out and knelt in front of the Li family, who was about to faint under the sun: "Aunt, you are my aunt, you must be the master of Yuanhui!" "Xiao Li's family is actually good-looking, she was also a maid candidate for the landlord Li's family back then, but because her surname is Li, she was not elected in the end; But she had a little sister who was selected, and the good times didn't last long, and her little sister broke a vase because she didn't pay attention to waiting for the sister of the landlord Li, and was finally beaten half to death and disfigured, and was given to the old man who poured night incense in the backyard, and her life was like soaking in the roots of Coptis chinensis.

"Actually, where is it as bad as you think?" The Yue family has never seen the luxury of the Li Mansion with his own eyes, but he has not heard many people talk about the luxury there, and he has not heard the gossip of the wealthy family that has been fabricated and processed by others, and even said a reassuring word: "Your family is far and wise compared to the flower, I don't know how much better, this is selected by the young master to enter the mansion, so naturally put it in the young master's courtyard to do things." If you can make the young master of the family look at being an aunt, she will not be a good eater and spicy person in the future, and she will be a master anyway. ”

There is a saying that "it is not about oneself to hang high". This matter originally had nothing to do with Luo's family, and it was still a string of troubles caused by her son Yuanfu Gao Yuanyuan, and someone else must have covered her face and hid aside, but she was not. Not only did he not dodge, but he talked about the dress of Liu's mother next to Li Changhai yesterday with great interest, and sighed at the end: "Even if you can't be an aunt, it's not bad to be a decent subordinate." You haven't seen the golden hairpin on the head of the mother who accompanied Young Master Li, and our village chief and sister-in-law may not have a golden hairpin. ”

"You're sharp-eyed." When it came to his daughter's life, Xiao Li couldn't care about pretending to be virtuous and stupid, so he immediately ridiculed him.

"Roche was not mistaken." Li knew that the general trend had gone, and glanced at Qiao Yuanhui, who was not only not sad but interested in tears at the door of the East Chamber, and added: "The materials for the clothes on Liu's mother are all bought from the county town, and the jewelry is also not something that can be played by the jewelry store in the town." I heard her say that in the Li family, even if she is the most inferior rough maid, she will have a salary of 100 yuan a month, and if she becomes a big girl, she can have half a silver salary a month; There are four sets of clothes throughout the year, and there are rewards or jewelry during the New Year's holidays; The subordinates of the Li Mansion can eat three meals a day, and the eldest maid can also have a supper snack with her master. ”

"So good?" Overheard, Qiao Yuanhui and Qiao Yuanfen and the others couldn't help but get closer and closer, and when they heard that they could eat three or four meals a day in the Li Mansion, Qiao Yuanfen, who had been hungry, couldn't help but pull the hem of Luo's clothes first: "Mother, can I go to the Li family to be a maid?" ”

"You think beautifully! People buy maids to be eleven or twelve years old, how old are you and can you still rob me? Qiao Yuanhui disagreed first, she really couldn't figure out why her mother was crying so sadly, the Li family was treated so well, with her smart and beautiful appearance, were she afraid that she wouldn't be able to compete with other girls? Besides, ......, thinking of everything he heard yesterday when he chatted with Li and Liu's mother in the side room, as well as the gorgeous robe that he saw at the door of the hall and Li Changhai's white skin that was different from that of a country boy, Qiao Yuanhui's ears were slightly red.

Hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Li to get up: "Mother, don't embarrass the milk, let the milk quickly go to the shade to avoid it, don't get sunburned." ”

Xiao Li found that Li's face was pale, and the clothes on his body were almost soaked with sweat, and his heart was sudden, knowing that he was afraid that he was going to make her hold a grudge, so he hurriedly got up according to Qiao Yuanhui's strength, "Mother-in-law, I'll go get you some cold water to wipe your sweat." ”

At this moment, the people in the courtyard were busy taking care of the three middle-aged and elderly women who were suffering under the sun, and the arbor was neglected on the edge of the corridor but got a gap to rest and recuperate, and after having the strength, no one paid attention to it, thinking that the silver had been handed over to the Li family, so he quietly went out and went back to his home downstream.

In the downstream home, at this time, only Gu Banniang was lying alone on C, still holding the silver tightly in her hand, scrubbing and inspecting it over and over again. After hearing the movement, he saw that it was Qiao Mutou who hurriedly called cold water: "Brother Mutou, the matter has been done, right?" ”

Qiao Mutou's heart was full of panic and disappeared miraculously when he saw Gu Banniang's joyful face, and he felt that he was a man in charge, so he immediately nodded his head: "It's done." ”

"That's good." Gu Banniang was obviously in a good mood today, and the appearance of her eyebrows flying and dancing also made Qiao Mutou's mood stretch.

"Brother wood, I thought I could take two taels of silver out and get some clay to build the wall first; The stove should also repair a roof, in the afternoon you have to dig a thatched toilet to stock up on fertilizer, next spring we spend two taels of silver to rent two acres of fertilizer field also to use fertilizer, the remaining two silver plus I do embroidery work saved is enough for us to make. Gu Banniang thought about it for a long time, but she didn't dare to think about the big house for the time being, and it was generous to let the two grass sheds become mud houses......

Qiao Mutou naturally nodded in agreement, and finally remembered that he didn't see Yuangen and Man'er after coming back: "What about Gen'er?" For a long time, he has been so imperceptibly that he can subconsciously ignore his daughter.

"Yun Ying moved things, brought two small ones over to help settle them, and said that the two little ones won't come back for dinner tonight." Gu Banniang saw that Yun Ying didn't move anything from the house at all, but it was just two patches of clothes, and she also took care of two small meals when she moved over, she wished she could do this every day.

Qiao Mutou sighed and knew about it, and instead discussed with Gu Banniang how to get the house? How to dig a latrine? An ambitious look of a new life and a new hope.

Yun Ying's expression now is actually similar to Qiao Mutou. The main room of Guan Ping's house is a total of four rooms, and Guan Ping has a separate study outside the hall for guests, after Yun Ying moved over, Jia did not ask her to sleep in her own room to facilitate waiting, but let Guan Ping live in the study, and let Guan Ping's original room for Yun Ying.
