Chapter 12 Strict governance
And Yu Hua excitedly hugged Shen Yueying in his arms, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my lady is so capable!" I don't even know it! ”
Everyone laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was very peaceful.
Yu's mother sandwiched the second chicken leg into Yu Hua's bowl and said earnestly: "Hua'er, you are a scholar." ”
"Everything is inferior, only reading is high. Whether or not our Yu family can restore its glory depends on you. ”
"You must study hard and don't live up to your mother's expectations."
Yu Hua nodded and bowed to his mother.
"Don't worry, mother, I will study hard."
Then, the other two chicken legs were divided between Yu's mother and her two sons who worked.
"You are the pillars of the family, eat more, and only when you are full can you have the strength to work."
As for the two daughters-in-law, they got the chicken breast, and Yu's mother herself casually took a chopstick chicken and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
Shen Yueying was about to nibble on the chicken leg, and when she saw that Yu's mother didn't give her a chicken leg, she hesitated for a moment and gave the chicken leg clip to Yu's mother.
"Mother, you are the hardest, you should eat this chicken leg!"
Yu's mother shook her head, put the chicken leg back, and said righteously: "Good boy, this is the reward you deserve." Mother has always had clear rewards and punishments, so you can accept it. ”
Shen Yueying nodded as if she didn't understand, it turned out that her mother was running the family.
However, she forgot to count herself in and was too herself.
After dinner, Yu's mother took out the rough green tea leaves and made a pot of tea.
Everyone sat around a small table, ready for a family meeting.
"These ten taels of silver are earned by the shadow, let's discuss how to use it."
Yu's mother sat on the main seat, with a serious expression, consulting everyone's opinions.
"I mean leave five taels of silver for Hua'er to go to Beijing to take the exam."
Everyone looked at each other and said they had no opinion.
The remaining five taels of silver were kept in the mother's hands, and they were used to take care of the family's food and drink expenses.
Yu's mother has been in charge of the family for decades, and she has been strict in her family, and she has never had any trouble.
Shen Yueying felt that it was too wasteful to save, the Yu family was originally a wealthy businessman, and the family was in decline, so they could also do some small business.
But thinking that five taels of silver is a little less, and when she gets the follow-up tail gold, she can discuss with Yu's mother, and find a business to make a fortune, isn't it much more profitable than their hard work?
In the evening, under the dim yellow light, Yu Hua was reading under the lamp, and Shen Yueying was embroidering with the help of the oil lamp.
Yu Huayuan stood up suddenly, bowed solemnly to Shen Yueying, bent down to compose, and his long sleeves fell to the ground.
"Thank you, lady!"
Shen Yueying was startled, and hurriedly got up to support her father-in-law.
Is this to thank her for earning money and improving the family's food?
"Now, does the prime minister still want to divorce me?"
She asked with a grin, looking a little smug.
"If the lady wants to leave in the future, I can ......"
Yu Hua thought about it carefully, and his voice was full of reluctance and sadness.
Shen Yueying looked at him suspiciously, she was so able to make money, Xiao Xianggong didn't hold her firmly, but she still wanted to let him go?
Were all ancient scholars so virtuous?
She hugged Xiao Xianggong suddenly, coquettishly in his arms, and pretended to wipe her tears.
"Xianggong, my reputation has been ruined, and I can't remarry. If you divorce me, I can only beg on the street......"
Yu Hua was startled and wanted to push the person away, but she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her pitiful appearance.
"Being a husband won't let you fall into this situation!"
"Does the prime minister still want to divorce me?"
Shen Yueying blinked, her eyes sparkling.
