Chapter XXXVII, 10 taels

After a few days of continuous watering, the crops in the field looked much better, but it still needed heavy rain to get a good harvest.

The few days off that Liu Boan took was over, and Shen Jinqian borrowed the ox cart of Lizheng's family to send him back to the pharmacy, and by the way, he took Shen Mei to the town to hand over the first batch of goods from the embroidery house.

"Sister-in-law, you see this is the first money our embroidery room earned, haha." After dinner, the family sat around the table in the hall, Shen Mei poured out the money from the money bag, she had never seen so much money, and she screamed excitedly.

Shen's mother saw that the embroidery room was making money, and she also let go of the worries she had been worried about, but looking at her daughter's appearance, she couldn't help but pat her: "You whisper to me, do you know that your wealth cannot be exposed." ”

Liu Bicao was quite calm, counted the money on the table, and waited for Shen Mei to be excited before saying, "Meizi, there is still money here that is embroidered by other people." ”

"Oh oh, yes, yes." Shen Mei nodded straight and went to the house to take out a special record book.

That's Liu Bicao in order not to make mistakes, let Shen Mei make a book, which records the number of embroidery jobs for each embroiderer, every time she goes to the town to hand over the goods, she pays the embroiderer according to this, of course, each embroidery girl can also check it herself when she receives the salary.

The two of them took their notebooks and counted them. This time, I handed over a total of two large objects, eleven pairs of shoes, and thirty-two handkerchiefs, a total of seven two six hundred and ten wen, and four two five hundred and sixty-six wen were left except for the embroidery girl.

"Sister-in-law, this is yours." Shen Mei happily divided the rest into two halves, and gave half to Liu Bicao.

Liu Bicao only took one, two, or three hundred wen, and returned the rest to Shen Mei: "I said it was okay at the beginning, the two of us are also three or seven points, so we have to do what we say." ”

"But, sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, the embroidery room wouldn't have been opened, and it wouldn't have made so much money in less than a month."

"Silly girl, you still have a lot of money." Liu Bicao pinched her nose, "It's good that sister-in-law knows your intentions, take the money quickly, or sister-in-law will be angry." ”

As soon as she heard that Liu Bicao was going to be angry, Shen Mei couldn't think of it so much, she carefully put the money away, and thought about finding a place in the room to hide the money, although there had never been a thief in the village, and nothing had been lost, but it was still good just in case.

"Hurry up and open the door for the old lady, Liu Bicao, you white-eyed wolf, you money-loser, if you have a mother-in-law, you don't want your mother's family, but the old lady raised you."

When the family was happy, the sound of Mrs. Liu banging on the door came from outside the door, mixed with angry scolding.

Liu Bicao's brows furrowed subconsciously, and she seemed to hear the voices of Liu Dabao and Liu Xiaobao.

Shen Jinqian held Liu Bicao's hand and instructed Shen Jinxin, "Jinxin, go open the door and let her in." "I haven't found a chance to settle accounts for those things I said before, but now I've sent them to the door.

Shen Jinxin was extremely reluctant to go, but he couldn't help but listen to his eldest brother's words, so he could only open the door obediently.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Liu couldn't wait to run in, like a gust of wind.

"Dead girl, what are you hiding, you think I won't be able to find you if you hide?" As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the door, she pointed at Liu Bicao's nose and scolded, showing no mercy at all.

Shen Jinqian lowered his face, stood steadily in front of Liu Bicao, and looked at Mrs. Liu coldly, wanting to see what she could make a name for.

"I said, why are you here again?" After Shen's mother saw the Liu family, she hated the Liu family deeply, and she was very disgusted with what she said.

Old woman Liu is really thick-skinned, as if she didn't understand Shen's mother's words. immediately changed his face and said with a smile.

"Mother-in-law, look at what you said, I'm the girl's grandmother, why can't I come to see her?"

Mother Shen looked at her disdainfully, she had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person.

"You've seen it, go back." Liu Bicao can't wait to throw her out, but the word filial piety crushes people to death, and she can be thrown out today, no matter how wrong Mrs. Liu was before, tomorrow the saliva will drown Liu Bicao and the Shen family, even Liu Boan and Liu Qingzhu will have an impact in the future.

Mrs. Liu glared at her fiercely, and wanted to scold her again, but after thinking about the purpose of coming, she suppressed the words she wanted to scold, and tried to make a kind appearance, as funny as she wanted.

"You child, the thing I said about the child last time was that grandma is wrong, grandma also cares too much about you, this woman has to have a child when she gets married, you see that you have no children after marrying into the Shen family for so long, grandma is also afraid of what the Shen family will say, so don't be like grandma."

When she came, Old Man Liu, Liu Dalei, and Zhou explained that she must get money from Liu Bicao to go back. Seeing that it is the day when Liu Silei gets married, it costs money everywhere, and the Liu family is now in a time when there is no catch, the Liu family will definitely not want to take out the money themselves, and they will focus on Liu Bicao when they think about it.

After confessing his heart, the Shen family wanted to vomit.

"I said, can you get a face, I don't have so many places for you to put in my house." Shen Jinxin sat on the stool, crossed his legs, and looked at her like a monkey.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't answer her words, only Shen Jinxin opened her mouth to say a word, so she simply let it go, sat on the ground with her buttocks, and howled when she opened her mouth.

"Bicao, grandma knows that grandma used to treat you badly, but grandma is also worried about you, afraid that you will be driven away by the Shen family if you have no children, Bicao, you have to be considerate of grandma's hard work."

Mrs. Liu thought that Liu Bicao, like all married women, would have no confidence if she didn't have children in her mother-in-law's family, and she would be afraid of being driven away by her husband's family, after all, the old saying goes: There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest.

No matter how capable Liu Bicao is, if she didn't give birth to a son to the Shen family, the Shen family would divorce her, and what way out could the woman who divorced be?

So Mrs. Liu kept grasping the fact that Liu Bicao had no children, thinking that in this way Liu Bicao would compromise with her and let her go to the host of the temple, so that she could have money for Liu Silei to marry.

However, what Mrs. Liu didn't think about was that Liu Bicao and the Shen family didn't believe that they would be able to conceive a child after going to the temple for a few days and coming back. What I didn't think about was that even if she wanted to go, she wouldn't be allowed to do it.

Seeing that Shen Jinqian's face was getting worse and worse, Old Lady Liu, who was already a little afraid of his black face, became more and more timid, but thinking that he must have thought that Liu Bicao had no children, her voice involuntarily became louder.

"Since you care so much, what can you do?"

Hearing Shen Jinqian's question, Mrs. Liu was full of joy and thought that she had guessed correctly, and she was secretly proud, so she said that there was no one who didn't like a hen that didn't lay eggs.

"Jinqian, what nonsense are you talking about, where can you believe her words?" Shen's mother fiercely attacked her son, "Bicao, don't listen to his nonsense." ”

"It's sister-in-law, my eldest brother is talking nonsense, don't be angry." Shen Mei and Shen Jinxin were also anxious when they heard Shen Jinqian's words, why did the usually wise eldest brother be confused at this time?

Liu Bicao was full of emotion when she saw that several people were defending themselves, how fortunate she was to meet the Shen family. glanced at Shen Jinqian, who was full of disdain and contempt in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.

"Good grandson-in-law, let me tell you, there is a temple in the town next door, which is very spiritual, and a woman can conceive a child as long as she goes to live for a while and comes back." Mrs. Liu spoke again and again, "Your second sister-in-law is too, and when she comes back, she will be pregnant with a big fat boy." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Old woman Liu seemed to see the silver flying in front of her, and said several yes in a row, and nodded heavily, as if this was more believable.

"So how do you get there?" Shen Jinqian looked at her condescendingly.

Old woman Liu got up from the ground, patted the ash on her buttocks, glanced at Liu Bicao triumphantly, and then said: "I know the host of the temple, and it takes a lot of money to go to the temple, so you leave it to me, and it only takes ten taels to do." ”

Shen Jinqian listened to her lion's big mouth, and couldn't help but sneer, "Ten taels? Are you sure it's ten taels? ”

Mrs. Liu, who was excited, naturally didn't hear the tone of his words, but the Shen family heard it, and they all put their minds at ease and sat down to watch the show with peace of mind.
