Xia Shangshang returned the same way with his mother, and coincidentally, when he went back, Xia Shangshang's mother and daughter ran into the proprietress who was mocking them when they came early.
The proprietress saw them at a glance, and the market was all gone, and there were few people on the street. Xia Shangshang's mother and daughter looked very eye-catching in patched old clothes.
"Oops, what did I say in the morning? A poor person is a poor person, busy all day, tired and tired, heh, I don't earn much from a single business~" The proprietress stood at the door and knocked melon seeds, very proud.
Xia Shangshang glanced at her, and walked forward without the slightest pause.
"Aunt Chen, how much did you earn today?" Next to the door of the silk shop, there was a little girl about the same age as Xia Shangshang, who was probably the daughter of the owner of the merchant next door, and asked curiously at this time.
The proprietress sat for a long time, but she just waited for this sentence! Immediately said loudly: "Not much! It's only four or five taels! ”
"Wow" the little girl next to her couldn't help but exclaim with envy. My father and mother only did three small garment-making businesses a day today, and the total added up was only two taels of silver, and the cost has not been removed.
"If you want me to say, there are some poor people who probably won't be able to set foot in my house for the rest of their lives! Hum! What a poor lazy man! The proprietress said disdainfully.
Xia Shangshang's figure paused, and the proprietress thought that she had poked Xia Shangshang's sore spot, and became more and more proud. saw Xia Shangshang holding Su Yun and turning around directly and walking back to this side. The proprietress didn't know why, so she heard Xia Shangshang say to the little girl just now: "Hello, how much does it cost for you to make a dress here?" ”
The little girl was stunned, this sister seemed to have been sarcastically said by Aunt Chen just now that she was a poor ghost~ But my father and mother said that she was a guest, and everyone had to be warmly entertained.
At that moment, the little girl replied enthusiastically: "Sister divided into three levels!" A better garment needs a better fabric! The best clothes are estimated to be two taels of silver, a medium one, and the most inferior is 30 yuan! The little girl looked expectantly, "Sister, do you want to make clothes?" ”
Before Xia Shangshang could answer, the sharp voice of the proprietress next to him immediately sounded: "Girl, you are stupid!" Don't you see that they look poor and sour? What do you do with these kinds of people? I don't have money and I still have money, I really don't know who to show it to me! ”
Su Yun's face was so angry that she was about to open her mouth to go back, but Xia Shangshang said lightly: "In this way, you can help my mother make five clothes with the best fabrics, plus three of the most inferior." ”
The little girl looked up at Xia Shangshang in surprise, and immediately shouted loudly at the store: "Dad! Mother! Here you go! Five clothes made of the best fabrics! Three more of the worst! ”
The proprietress next door listened to the little girl's voice and her face darkened, why did she shout so loudly? Afraid she won't hear? The proprietress held back her jealousy and watched her neighbor come out with a smile on her face, and the proprietress only felt that this smile was so dazzling!
"Don't be funny when you can't afford to pay!" The proprietress spit out a sentence hatefully.
Su Yun also heard it, and said to Xia Shangshang again and again: "Shangshang, I don't need so much!" Two of the most inferior ones are enough! ”
Xia Shangshang raised his eyes and glanced at the proprietress next to him, and said calmly to the boss: "It's okay, it's still as much as I just said, you can do it." ”
Xia Shangshang counted the money from the money bag and handed it to the little girl's father, and the smile on the face of the little girl's family became brighter and brighter. The face of the proprietress next door is getting darker and darker!
Xia Shangshang calmly helped Su Yun choose the color and fabric, and by the way, he also bought two sets of clothes for himself.
Ignoring the black face of the proprietress next door when she went out, the little girl said goodbye to Xia Shangshang sweetly: "Sister, go slowly!" Next time! ”
Xia Shangshang waved his hand and bowed his head slightly to indicate that he had heard.
Before Su Yun left the store, she directly changed into new clothes at the request of Xia Shangshang. This will make Su Yun wear new clothes, and her whole body is awkward. In the past, she wore a lot of coarse linen clothes, but now when she put on cotton clothes and silk at first glance, Su Yun only felt that something was wrong. Xia Shangshang was very satisfied, he had thought that the original owner's facial features and body were inherited from Su Yun's good looks, and now he is dressed Su Yun, which is really the case. In addition, the gouache that was pounced on in Yihong Courtyard today in order to show the effect to Feng Niang has not yet fallen. Looking from afar, she is the housewife of a large family. I don't know, I thought that Xia Shangshang was the maid who followed him.
"Mother, how much does it cost us to build a house?" Xia Shangshang suddenly spoke.
"If you ----- build a thatched house, you can buy some planks for one or two taels." Su Yun made a rough calculation.
"What about the tiled house?"
Su Yun thought about it, no one in Liuye Village had ever repaired a tiled house, but when Xia Kui built the only stone house in the village before, it used eighteen taels of silver at that time.
"I guess, it may cost more than twenty taels----- Su Yun replied uncertainly.
"Done! Then let's build a tiled house! Xia Shangshang decisively announced.
Su Yun was taken aback, building a tile house? No one in the village has ever done that! Even Xia Kui and village chief Wang Futian live in stone houses. This tiled house is a lot of money!
"Shangshang, you have to think about it, you earn the money, and my mother doesn't want you to hand it over to me. But this cost money, you have to plan it, don't eat the last meal and the next meal. ”
Xia Shangshang smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, mother!" I've got it! ”
The mother and daughter walked towards the village with a smile and a smile, and as soon as they entered the village, a harsh voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, who's this! On this big night, why did a young grandmother come to our dilapidated village? ”
The moment Xia Shangshang heard the voice, a lot of information popped out of his mind. She will never forget this person, she was the one who helped Xia Kui drive their mother and daughter out of the house in the first place!
Su Yun's face changed, but she still smiled and said, "Sister Wang, you are laughing." ”
This person's name is Zhang Xiaomei, and she is the wife of village chief Wang Futian. On weekdays, in the village, I like to chew the root of my tongue and gossip. It's a pity that the village chief is such an upright person, and he is always scolded by Zhang Xiaomei for not seeing it on weekdays. On weekdays, if anyone accidentally steps on her dishes and scares her chickens, no matter how old or young, she can scold you for being bloody. When Su Yun was just kicked out, the village chief once sent a lot of daily necessities, but the Zhang family knew about it, and he scolded Su Yun's mother and daughter for a whole day.
Neither Xia Shangshang nor the original owner of the body had a good impression of this person.
"Tut-tut, look at this material, it's worth a lot of money, right?" Zhang's mud-stained hands were about to reach over to touch his clothes, but Xia Shangshang pulled Xia Mu behind him. said with a cold face: "Aunt Zhang, it's not early, let's go home first." ”
