Chapter Seventy-Six: Uncle and Nephew Join Forces
Liu Xucheng looked out the window, and in the courtyard, Dr. Sun's family reluctantly said goodbye to the Huang family, and everyone lived in the backyard of the hospital, and they had also developed feelings in the past two or three years. Mrs. Huang pulled Mrs. Sun to wipe her tears, Dr. Huang stood far away, and did not come forward to say goodbye to Dr. Sun.
On that day, he only verbally provoked Dr. Sun, and did not give Dr. Sun a direct idea, nor did he know Dr. Sun's specific plan. Fortunately, otherwise, even he would inevitably be involved.
What a useless thing! After growing up so much, it's not good to think about it, is the son of the Sun family easy to start? If something really happens, although Yang Zixi has no good result, who in Renhe Hall can escape? The Wang family is a big family in Liangzhou City, and they can shake half the city by stomping their feet!
However, Yang Zixi also had a good life, and I heard that the young master of the Wang family almost died.
Liu Xucheng clenched his fists and secretly told himself that good luck cannot go for a lifetime, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!
"Hey...... How good is this, without Dr. Sun, we only have two taels of silver every month, how can we live with such a little money! Cui Shi stood at the door, looking at Dr. Sun who was dragging his family away, and sighed vigorously.
Originally, the two doctors who made the order would pay her silver every month, but now only Dr. Huang is left, and his income is less than half.
"It's not impossible to live two taels of silver, as long as we save money, wait until next year when I win the show, and then become an official in the future, mother, you just wait to enjoy the blessings, and the current hardship will be over." Liu Xucheng said indifferently and comfortingly.
Cui Shi is not as optimistic as him: "It's easy to say, it's just to stay up until next year, but when you get into the exam?" It's going to be a few more years! There is no savings, and there is no other income, but I am afraid that my mother will take you to beg for food at that time! β
"If not...... Mother, do you do some needlework to make up for one or two? Liu Xucheng thought for a while and said, "I see that Mrs. Huang does needlework for others, and she can have more than one or two silver a month!" β
"How can this be so simple...... Cui Shi replied vaguely, she is not good at work, in the past, when men were alive, they only took care of their sons in the back house, and never earned their own money.
Liu Xucheng sighed, his mother knows best, she is a person who is afraid of hardship and tiredness, where is she so virtuous?
Looks like we'll have to figure out how to get some money on my own.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Liu Xucheng asked, "Did my aunt and uncle move to live?" We are relatives after all, so we should move around a lot. β
"What do they do, you ask?" Cui's heart was impatient when he heard this, "Master Liu is not a master now, and he is making trouble when he loses his errand!" Walking around? I'm afraid that when we come to the door, we will go to find someone to scold. β
Liu Xucheng pursed the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking, but the calculation in his heart did not stop. More than half of the decline of the Liu family is counted on Yang Zixi, and the other half is counted on Master Liu's family. Although Master Liu has lost his errand now, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and he has been corrupt and bribed for so many years, and he should always have a family background.
It's not impossible to get the money out of his hands, but it's just a matter of doing what he likes. What Master Liu is most worried about now is probably the errand of the yamen, as long as he can be reinstated...... I'm afraid he is willing to spend money!
"Mother, my son has something important to say to Master Liu in person, so let's take the time to visit the door."
In the end, Cui's couldn't resist his son, so he led Liu Xucheng to Master Liu's new house.
The new house of the Liu family is much inferior to the place in the past, not to mention the carved beams and paintings, and even the yard is the size of a palm. Cui's sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, opened the door and saw that it was the two of them, her face changed, and she was about to close the door without saying hello.
Cui Shi was embarrassed to speak, but Liu Xucheng stretched out his foot and stuck on the threshold.
"Why doesn't my aunt let my little nephew come into the house and sit?"
He is delicate and pleasing, has a pure temperament, and has a bright smile and a deferential attitude, Mrs. Liu has never given birth to a son, and has always loved this eldest nephew.
Cui Shi only said good things after his sister, and Mrs. Liu ignored her, only hearing that he was looking for Master Liu, so he led the way without saying a word, and Liu Xucheng carefully looked at the new mansion of the Liu family. When the group entered the house, the smell of smoke choked in the dim room, and they saw Master Liu leaning on the couch, curled up and smoking dry cigarettes, and the flickering sparks were the only light in the room.
Seeing them coming, Master Liu didn't raise his eyelids, and only said after a long time: "Sit." β
Mrs. Liu brought a stool, but the tea was not poured, so she spoke: "What kind of wind blew my sister here today?" Isn't it enough for our master to be affected by your Liu family? Now that I have lost my errand, I am just an idle person, what can I do to help your Liu family? β
Cui Shi hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister, look at what you said, they are all their own relatives, they should have moved around more, and they didn't ask for help when they had something." β
Master Liu took out the cigarette holder from his mouth, took the cigarette stick and knocked it vigorously on the collapsed copper basin, and the crisp sound startled Cui Shi to swallow the unspoken words again.
"Anyway, why did you come here?" His eyes did not look at Cui's, but at the young Liu Xucheng.
"Uncle is at home now, it's much more comfortable than Yamen's order." As soon as Liu Xucheng opened his mouth, he was poking people's hearts, Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were erected, and she was about to speak, but was stopped by Master Liu.
Master Liu frowned, and said patiently: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush at a young age, afraid that people will look down on you?" Or are you afraid of being laughed at and generous? β
Liu Xucheng didn't care, but smiled and said: "The little nephew came to the door this time to give advice to his uncle. Now that our Liu family has declined, only me and my mother are left, and we don't even have a faΓ§ade to support, so we can only count on my uncle to be prosperous in the future, and I can take care of my nephew. So it's better to let the past pass, the little nephew is willing to serve his uncle and help his uncle. β
Master Liu narrowed his eyes and said in a strange tone: "You yellow-mouthed child, what can you help me?" It's really unbelievable! β
"Doesn't my uncle want to go back to the yamen to do things?" Liu Xucheng said amazingly, "Or go up another level and get an official to sit down?" The little nephew has a plan to help his uncle, and I don't know if my uncle is interested. β
Hearing this, Master Liu even forgot to smoke the cigarette in his hand, can he return to the yamen to become a master again? Or even an official? He looked at Liu Xucheng carefully, this kid is not yet crowned, what kind of trick can he come up with?
