Chapter 5: Settle In
Luo Hui'an looked at the thin body, he was quite tall, he was standing a step away from Tong Chuxue, and the shadow just blocked the light.
Tong Chuxue wanted to avoid this shadow, but before she could make a move, Luo Hui'an suddenly pulled away the piece of paper in her hand.
Luo Hui'an carried the document to Luo Huize's eyes, "Big brother, there are some mistakes in the paperwork. β
was denied by his family in front of outsiders, Luo Huize frowned and denied it, "The second brother's words are incomplete, I'm afraid I read it wrong." β
Luo Hui'an shook his head and pointed to one of the sentences, "The Luo family rented the old mansion for a month and charged a rent of five hundred yuan. I clearly remember that Miss Tong said a hundred words. β
Luo Huize snatched the piece of paper, "Second brother, you read it wrong, I wrote a hundred wen instead of five hundred." β
Luo Hui'an was not annoyed, and said lightly, "The sage often says that he is sincere, and the eldest brother's ability to refer to the deer as a horse is really an eye-opener for the younger brother." β
Luo Huize's face flushed, and he turned around and stood beside Mrs. Luo, and said conclusively, "Second brother, I know that you are not in good health, but you have always wanted to study, and you will come to my house to read books on weekdays, but after all, you are not taught by Mr., and there may be a lot of mistakes in what you learn." You must be confusing the word 'two' with the word 'five'. β
Mrs. Luo can't see her precious eldest grandson being lost face in public, even if this person is her other grandson, after all, the eldest grandson will be an official in the future, "Hui'an, how can you, as a younger brother, talk to your brother like this!" β
Luo Hui'an's expression was calm, and he seemed to be familiar with Mrs. Luo's maintenance, "Grandma, the eldest brother is a scholar, if he can write a wrong word in such a simple document, what will you make others think, and whether the reputation of their academy is still necessary." β
Fame is the most important thing in this day and age.
The academy relies on reputation to recruit students, if a student in the academy causes an accident, it may not be easy for the entire academy to recruit students, Luo Hui'an's hat is too big, and Luo Huize is terrified when he hears it.
"I'm right, second brother, don't rely on yourself to read a few books, you don't even believe the words of me, a serious person who studies private school." Luo Huize retorted.
Luo Hui stood like a green pine, standing in the hall of the Luo family, and felt out of place with everything around him.
Tong Chuxue glanced at Luo Hui'an gratefully, and then spoke, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve, let's invite Uncle Lizheng to ask." β
When Mrs. Luo heard that she was going to call Lizheng, her face changed in an instant, "Although the surname is Tong, after all, it is not your relative, you can call it if you say it!" What's more, it's not a big deal, you just press the handprint, don't you. β
Mrs. Luo's reaction was even more confirmative, there was a problem with the paperwork, how could Tong Chuxue agree.
While a few people were talking, Xu Jinniang, who was originally in the Westinghouse, also came over. Tong Chuxue went out for a long time and didn't come back, she was a little worried, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard the confrontation just now.
Xu Jinniang grabbed Tong Chuxue's hand and whispered, "Otherwise, forget it, my mother knows that there is a dilapidated house in the west of the village, and no one has lived in it, otherwise we will go there for a night." β
Now, Mrs. Luo is not doing it, although a hundred yuan is not much, but it is better than not having a penny, it is an empty house that cannot be used, and a transaction without capital.
"Sister of the Xu family, what you say is bad, the third daughter-in-law has a good relationship with you, and now you are in trouble, our Luo family should help, they are all from the same village, and it will be a matter of life if you say this."
Mrs. Luo made a look, and Luo Huize put away the paperwork, "I still have to go back to the house to read." After saying that, he slipped away as if he had oiled the soles of his feet.
Tong Chuxue glanced at the corner of her eyes, if Luo Huize can be an official like this, then the sow can go up the tree.
Mrs. Luo simply pulled Xu Jinniang to sit beside her, "I didn't expect that you would have such a hard time in the Tong family, now it's okay, although you two are a little tired alone, but you are comfortable, take your time, you can always live a good life." That paperwork, the snow girl doesn't believe the boss wrote it, so I'll ask Hui An to write a new copy for you. β
Xu Jinniang was without an idea, Mrs. Luo said some words of comfort to her, she was sad in her heart, and she didn't know if she had listened to it, so she responded indiscriminately.
Luo Hui'an took a pen and paper from Luo Huize and redrafted a new document.
Tong Chuxue was really surprised, I heard Luo Huize's meaning just now, Luo Hui'an had never gone to a private school to study, but his handwriting was no worse than Luo Huize's.
After Luo Hui'an finished writing, he read it again to Tong Chuxue.
I don't know why, Tong Chuxue just felt that Luo Hui'an was credible, so she didn't hesitate to press her handprint on the paper, and Luo Hui'an, as the representative of the Luo family and the drafter of the document, also pressed her handprint.
The documents were in duplicate, and Luo Hui'an and Tong Chuxue each took one copy.
When Mrs. Luo saw that one hundred Wen was in hand, she immediately ordered Lin Chunyan to take Tong Chuxue and Xu Jinniang to the old house.
On the way, Luo Hui'an also followed, helping Tong Chuxue and Xu Jinniang carry their luggage.
Originally, Luo Hui'an's body, Lin Chunyan was not worried about him coming out, but Luo Hui'an insisted that it was not safe for three women to be outside, although he was weak, it was better than not having one.
The big house and the third room of the Luo family have always been at odds with each other, and it is naturally impossible for Luo Huize to come out.
The location of the Locke family's old house is a bit remote, there are only one or two families around, and it has not been inhabited for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust everywhere.
Xu Jinniang took Tong Chuxue to clean up the tables and chairs, and saw Luo Hui'an helping the two of them fetch water in the courtyard.
Tong Chuxue thought that Luo Hui'an's body was a papier-mΓ’chΓ© doll, which could fall as soon as the wind blew, but she didn't expect him to be able to do some work.
Xu Jinniang knew that Luo Hui'an was not in good health, and she was uneasy, "Just come by yourself to fetch water, you are already very grateful for sending us over, how can this little thing be embarrassing and trouble you." β
Luo Hui'an finished fetching a bucket of water, put the bucket on the ground steadily, and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'm fine." β
Lin Chunyan came out of the house and also helped Luo Hui'an explain, "Hui'an is weak and can't do heavy work, but it's still no problem to fetch water." β
"This, alas, thank you, auntie, for having time to eat here." Xu Jinniang greeted.
Luo Hui'an agreed with a smile.
Tong Chuxue saw that Luo Hui'an had brought up a few buckets of water, but his face was not red, he was not panting, and he was in a good state. In fact, if you take care of it well, your body can still be raised.
Several people were busy for more than half an hour before they could barely settle down.
It's summer now, and although there are no sheets and bedding, you can get some dry thatch and pile it up all night.
Night.
Xu Jinniang and Tong Chuxue have experienced too much today, Xu Jinniang has really calmed down at this moment, thinking of the future road, she can't help but have to plan, "Chuxue, my mother has thought about it, my mother will go to the town to find work from tomorrow and save some dowry for you." β
Tong Chuxue's side, after a busy day, finally found a place to stay, and was planning to plan a new life in the future, but was taken aback by Xu Jinniang's words, and refused again and again, "Mother, I don't want to marry now!" It's true! β
Xu Jinniang chuckled, thinking that the girl's family was shy, "What nonsense, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry." Don't worry, the Yao family is reasonable, my mother will prepare more dowry for you, and they won't look down on you. β
