Chapter 389: Patriarchy
In fact, he had long wanted to work in the big workshop in the town, and he was recruiting people who knew how to needlework, and he owed him this trick, and he didn't even have the courage to ask at the door, and subconsciously felt that people wouldn't want him. Now that there is such an opportunity, he is tempted.
That's right, the method Miao said was to let Hu Lao Er work in the workshop opened by Guo Mianmian in the town. The remuneration of the workshop is not low, and there are always a few hundred wen a month. There is another reward at the end of the year, and you can save a lot of money in a year, which is better than staying at home and glaring at it, and you can't earn a child.
Miao patted his second nephew on the shoulder and instigated, "Why is it impossible? You are a strong man, and this strength can always come in handy. No matter how bad it is, I will show this old face and beg people, and I will definitely find a way to stuff you in. ”
The matter has not yet been completed, and Miao does not dare to say it too happily.
She still understands about this second nephew, he is a bit tough, but he is a real person. Work is pleasant and neat, not the lazy person. In the past, when the farming was idle, I went to the town to find work to do, but Taoyuan Town was still too small, and there were many people looking for work, and I couldn't earn a few dollars all year round.
If the second nephew was not the material for the work, she would not have made this claim. Otherwise, people don't look down on the second nephew, or the second nephew is lazy and doesn't work hard, and she, the wife, will not be able to do well.
Hu Lao Er rubbed his hands generously and said solemnly to Miao: "Auntie, then this matter will be entrusted to your old man, and I will bring you big meat to eat during the New Year's holidays in the future, and I will honor you as a mother!" ”
Everyone loves to listen to beautiful words, Miao's trip is doing business, naturally she will not be carried away by a few good words, she said to Hu Laoer: "You are my nephew and I will help you, I don't want this big meat or something, you have to promise me something." ”
Hu Lao Er was yearning for a good life in the room, and when he heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Auntie, if you have anything, just say it, don't say one thing, even if it counts ten things, I will also respond to you." ”
Seeing him Yiyue, the Miao family did not sell Guanzi, and directly said the request.
After hearing this, Hu Lao Er hesitated and said: "In the past, Xiao Miao mentioned this, but my father and mother didn't agree, and now Xiao Miao is going to say kiss, and my father and mother are afraid that they will not agree." ”
Miao smiled and asked, "Why is your father and mother different?" Aren't you afraid that a lady's family in Miao'er will lose money in it? If you work with Miao'er, who would dare to oppress her with your protection? ”
Seeing that Hu Lao Er was still hesitating, Miao simply took a dose of fierce medicine: "Think about it, if you and Miao Er enter the workshop, you can get an extra reward." You know Miao'er's skills, and you must earn a lot when you go in, for fear that it will not take a year to save enough money for your room, which is better than saving slowly for you. ”
If he could, Miao would prefer that the hard-earned money earned by his niece could be saved for herself, rather than giving her nephew a room. It's just that instead of letting my niece be bought by MM's brother-in-law for money, it's better to exchange money for peace. And with this errand, my niece will have confidence in her in-law's family when she gets married in the future.
Seeing that the second nephew's heart was moved, Miao felt that it was necessary for him to remember the good of his niece, so he continued: "Or do you want your father and mother to marry Miao Er arbitrarily and change the dowry money to repair the house and accept the room?" In the past, your sister-in-law's family was for the sake of her son, so she hollowed out your family's foundation, so how many eyes did you and your father and mother have for this sister-in-law? You can't bear to look at Miao Er like your sister-in-law, looking at people's expressions every day in your husband's house? Think about it again, your father and mother gave Miao Er to a cripple before for the sake of silver, which is worse than your sister-in-law, your boss is a young and strong able-bodied person! ”
I have to say that these words directly hit Hu Laoer's heart. He still has some feelings for Hu Miao, the only mm, so he thinks about using Hu Miao's dowry to accept the room, because everyone in the village who has a daughter does this, he doesn't think that there is a problem with the body at all, and he has never stood in the perspective of women to think about what life they will live naked when they marry into their husband's family.
Now that there is a living example of the sister-in-law Jiang first, thinking of the white eyes of the whole family towards the Jiang family over the years, he suddenly felt a little ashamed of the Jiang family. The truth is that the Jiang family didn't want so much dowry, she didn't get any benefits, and she had to bear the white eyes of their family, which was really resentful when she thought about it. If it were him, he might have jumped into the river aggrievedly.
is still like this for Jiang, a person who is not related to blood, and looking at Hu Miao, a pro-MM, Hu Lao Er feels that he can't do this. He doesn't lose money if he agrees, so he doesn't hesitate, and says heavily: "Okay, I'll tell my father and mother about this, if my father and mother don't agree, I'll take Miao'er to live separately from them, it's better than looking at them year after year, and letting me drag my daughter-in-law to marry." ”
Let women have the opportunity to intervene in the task and indirectly improve the status of women's families, which is also the intention of Mianmianzi's painstaking efforts to build a workshop!
After talking about Hu Lao Er, Miao didn't want to tell Hu Lao Man Xiao Miao about it in person, she felt that Hu Lao Er's mind was full of room, and he would definitely do everything he could to get things done. If she works in the middle, maybe people will think that she transferred it from her, but it will be easy to rely on it.
Facts have proved that Miao was prescient and that she was right.
However, Hu Lao Er felt that his aunt was thinking about herself, and she had worked with her family to build her aunt's house before, and she was quite ashamed in her heart. He wanted to tell him about it, but he was worried that Miao would be angry and didn't help him enter the workshop, so he struggled for a while and didn't say it.
Miao didn't know about his nephew's entanglement, so he told him a few words and left.
Hu Lao Er was a little clever, so he deliberately went to the workshop in the town to take a turn, and went home after confirming that there were still people recruited inside. The family was there, and he didn't wait for Xiao Miao's speech to scold people, so he told everyone in front of everyone that he wanted to take Hu Miao to work in the workshop in the town, and the two of them saved money to accept the house together.
"No way, I don't care!" Sure enough, as Hu Lao Er guessed, Xiao Miao did not hesitate to object: "What can work be, our previous decision has been made, and we will be able to eat and drink spicy food while lying down in the future, why do you want to do the despicable thing of being called and drunk?" ”
Hu Lao Er rolled his eyes directly: "Despicable thing? Our family is a cropper who plows food in the field, so what we do is noble? You always look down on the people who work in other people's workshops, and people still look down on your face for silver, so you have to pretend to be someone else! ”
Xiao Miao was sarcastically ridiculed by his own son, and immediately fell back in anger, pointing at Hu Lao Er and scolding: "Okay, you turtle grandson rabbit cub, the old lady raised you with a handful of and urine, you are so angry with the old lady?" I knew this was the case, I should have stuffed you back in the first place, and I was angry with you. ”
"Hehe, I've been born by you, and you can't stuff it back, so it's better to agree to it. In the future, I will save enough money to marry a daughter-in-law, and I will definitely honor you with my daughter-in-law! Hu Lao Er had heard similar scolding countless times, and he didn't take it to heart at all, and continued to grind with Xiao Miao in another mood: "Don't expect Xiao Miao to succeed in her aunt's house, it's cheaper for her to honestly go to the workshop to work, otherwise she will really off her cousin, and then invite her mother's family, our family will not even have a way out, I want to accept the room earlier, if you spoil my business and make me unable to marry a daughter-in-law, I might as well shave my head directly to the temple as a sand gate." ”
"You-you wicked obstacle, you're going to make the old lady angry to death!" Xiao Miao cried and pounced on Hu Lao Er and beat him hard.
Hu Lao Er understated, and continued to grin with his neck: "If you kill me today, I will also go to work in that workshop, otherwise with that little bit of income in the field, can I save enough silver in the Year of the Monkey?" It's about a simple separation, you separate me from Xiao Miao, and it's up to us to marry you, and you happen to be relieved. ”
Xiao Miao, who was still beating Hu Lao'er, was stunned, and his hand was raised in the air and couldn't fall for half a day. The Hu family and the others were also shocked, and they didn't dare to trust Hu Lao Er to say the words of separation so easily.
You must know that it is a courtesy passed down from the ancestors that parents do not separate from each other, unless the parents do not want to live together with friends and take the initiative to separate, otherwise no matter how bumpy the life is, they will definitely not be separated if they can live it.
Hu Lao'er opened his mouth to separate, at least he was cold-hearted and had no conscience, and at worst he was unfilial and unrighteous, and he was not as good as a beast.
When he came back to his senses, Old Man Hu stepped forward and slapped Hu Lao Er's skull: "What a deflated calf, you dare to mention separation when Lao Tzu is still alive, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you!" ”
As he spoke, he looked everywhere for something to take advantage of, and soon found a stick as thick as his forearm from the back of the door, and hit Hu Lao Er's back without thinking about it, and made a muffled sound of "bang".
This stick, Old Man Hu made a ruthless effort, Hu Lao Er grinned in pain, covered the beaten place with his backhand, and shouted louder and louder: "You beat you, you beat me!" If you don't kill me today, I'll climb and go to the workshop to find work! ”
Hu Lao Er didn't really want to separate, he just wanted to use the separation to force his father and mother to agree to him to take mm to work in the workshop, so that he could save enough money to receive the room, and his father and mother didn't have to worry about him to be the room, this is a good thing for my good friends, he doesn't think it's wrong to do so.
Old man Hu didn't think so, seeing that the second son had an iron-hearted demeanor, he was angry in his heart, and continued to raise his stick to greet Hu Lao Er with a thick neck: "Okay! Good! I'll kill you! ”
Hu Lao Er was beaten several times again, grinning in pain, Hu Laomai and Jiang couldn't bear to see it, and they wanted to come forward to persuade but didn't dare, for fear that they would also be subjected. I have to say that Hu Lao Er is a ruthless person, and he really went out in order to make a profit.
In the end, Xiao Miao couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed up to stop Old Man Hu: "Stop fighting, you dead old man really want to kill our son!" ”
Old man Hu sprinkled a fire, but he was not so angry in his heart, he just stared at the bull-like Hu Lao Er and said viciously: "If you kill it, you will be killed, the province will be angry with him, Lao Tzu still wants to live for two more years!" ”
Xiao Miao ignored him, turned around and persuaded Hu Lao Er bitterly: "You just listen to your mother's words, and when Xiao Miao's dead girl is done, don't talk about accepting the room, it is up to you to accept another concubine." ”
Hu Laoer's eyes moved, and when he thought of the idea that was surging up in his body, he pressed it down fiercely: "Mother, if you listen to me, the nature of Xiaomiao will not be able to do anything at all." Besides, Xiao Miao is my own sister-in-law, the last time we gave her a cripple, it was already a loss to her, she was withdrawn again, and it is impossible to find a rich family again, so it is better to go to the workshop with me to work in fact. ”
Xiao Miao was careless: "Who doesn't use the lady's dowry money to ask for a daughter-in-law for their son?" Is it impossible for this dead girl to be delicate? It is not her life to come to our house, and if she has the ability to be the eldest lady of a rich family, she does not have to exchange it for money. ”
Xiao Miao's has never covered up the fact that she is patriarchal, in her opinion, she gave Hu Miao a life, and worked hard to pull her up, she has the best food and clothing, and she exchanged her for silver to give her son a room, Xiao Miao has no psychological burden at all.
