After Ai Qiaoqiao finished speaking, there was no sound in the room for a long time.

Everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

Ai Qiaoqiao is only thirteen, she is still a half-old child, and she has an innocent expression, and no one will believe that there is malice in her words.

She's just stating a fact.

The second uncle went to dinner.

It's just that the place to eat is Hualou.

Zhong suddenly pounced on him with a snort, and frightened Ai Qiaoqiao to hide on the kang.

"What do you say! You repeat! ”

Ai Qiaoqiao simply hid behind Old Man Ai, and said with a crying voice, "Grandpa, is the second aunt crazy, what's wrong with her...... I didn't recognize my second uncle either, but the people in the village who went to the market together recognized him...... It is said that the wine and food in the flower building are good, and ordinary people can't eat it, master, is this true? ”

Ai Mingshan's old face turned red, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao shrank her shoulders, let out a frightened "oh", and stopped talking.

Zhong's eyes cracked, and he suddenly slammed into the door frame.

"I ...... I'm not alive! ”

Ma Shi stood at the door, startled, and scolded: "If you are tired of looking for death, you have to die outside, don't die at home." ”

Chung cried louder.

Ma crossed his waist and scolded directly, "You can't give birth to cubs, don't think that you can scare anyone by looking for death, if you die, my second son can still marry someone else, you treat others as if they were like you, and if you don't give birth to cubs, you will only eat ......"

Ai Qiaoqiao hid behind Ai Mingshan and secretly stuck out his tongue.

Sure enough, it was Ma's who was better.

The biggest shortcoming of Zhong's life is that he has not had children for so many years after getting married.

Dafang Qiu's sons are seventeen or eighteen, and they have been working in the city, and she has never laid an egg.

As soon as Ma's scolded, Zhong's face couldn't be held back, and he rushed out of the upper room and cried.

Qiu acted as a peacemaker, persuading this and coaxing that.

Ai Qiaoqiao shrank on the kang and listened quietly to the movement outside, as if she was frightened.

"Qiaoqiao." Old Man Ai spoke faintly, "Just now, the people from Yicaotang came to our house. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned, she didn't expect that the carriage just now really came to their house.

"They want to ask you to be a cook, and give you two taels of silver a month." Ai Mingshan looked at Ai Qiaoqiao's face, "Do you go or not to give a word, tomorrow they will come to listen to the letter." ”

Two taels of silver a month? That's not a small amount.

Ai Qiaoqiao's first reaction when she heard this was not happy, but suddenly sank.

"What do you think?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

"People are here to invite you, I want to hear your opinion first." Ai Mingshan said in a deep voice.

Ai Qiaoqiao lowered her head, "I'm worried about my mother's ......"

Ai Mingshan didn't say anything, but Ma, who was standing at the door, snorted dissatisfiedly: "What is there to worry about your mother, are you afraid that I will eat her or what." ”

"My mother often gets sick, and I'm afraid she will be angry with my grandmother." Ai Qiaoqiao was angry, but she deliberately said the opposite, "If I still don't go, I will accompany my mother at home, and I can help with this autumn harvest." ”

Ma Shi was obviously unhappy, and muttered, "I can still use you for just a few acres of land...... That's two taels of silver, and it's enough for the second child to pay the master's Mid-Autumn Festival gift money......"

Ai Qiaoqiao lowered her head and deliberately did not answer.

She's not stupid.

Don't look at Yicaotang's two taels of silver, if she really goes, not a single copper will reach her hands.

Ma will empty all her money and go to her second son to honor her master.

She also wants to keep the money to honor her own mother.
