Chapter 4 It's all towards my sister-in-law
Li saw Cao Li enter the room as if he had found the backbone, sat on the chair and was not aggrieved, and the handkerchief kept pressing on the corner of his eye.
"Dalang, you can be regarded as back, I, who is a sister-in-law, just want a handkerchief that has not been embroidered to Xiaofeng and say that I will use it personally, but who would have thought that?" Li's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and he almost choked without taking a breath, "Who would have thought that my younger brother and sister saw that Xiaofeng was a fast catcher, and they had evil intentions, and after being discovered, they also slandered Xiaofeng for stealing things, if this is spread out, where will our Cao family's face go!" ”
The Li family fought backwards and didn't give Ling Xiu'er a chance to explain at all.
At this moment, Ling Xiu'er's cheeks were red and swollen, and when she looked up and saw the Li family's successful eyes, she was annoyed, she was sure that she would rely on her to sell embroidery in the future, and she didn't dare to poke out her today's affairs.
Since you Li are ruthless, then don't blame me for being unrighteous!
Ling Xiu'er suddenly smiled, which was completely different from Mu Ne's usual behavior, and Li Shi panicked when he saw this.
"Mother, big brother, you all give a review." Ling Xiu'er stared at the Li family with her eyes fixed, and said word by word: "My sister-in-law has the money to help my mother's brother marry a daughter-in-law, but she doesn't have the money to let my father-in-law go to Beijing for the exam." Is her money from the Cao family or the Li family? ”
"Okay, I'll just say that your mother-in-law is in charge of money, and the more you manage it, the less you manage it."
Cao Liang is used to being oppressed by the Li family on weekdays, and finally seized an opportunity to get ahead, and when he heard this, he was about to jump with the Li family, and was shocked by the Li family's eyes, "She said yes?" How much money does your Cao family have, don't you know how much money you have? ”
"And what about the money I have from selling embroidery? Why didn't my sister-in-law tell me how much money she got from selling embroidery? ”
Ling Xiu'er didn't let a step, she asked the Li family to spit out all the money for the embroidery today.
But before she finished speaking, she saw Li's "puff" kneeling in front of her mother-in-law Wang, and she was stunned and startled Mrs. Wang, "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”
Although Li is usually in charge, she is better than anyone else when it comes to a critical moment.
Mrs. Wang's temperament is soft and easy to bully, but she is an elder. Seeing that Cao Liang jumped with him, the Li family had to hold the old woman Wang even more.
She squeezed out two tears and howled: "Mother-in-law, I have been making cattle and horses for the Cao family for so many years, but I can't get any sincerity from your Cao family, and let a little hoof who has just married in be humiliated." I gave some money to my brother, but I don't need any money to work in the yamen? If it weren't for my brother in Yamen, our family would be so beautiful in the village? ”
Mrs. Wang was bluffed by the Li family. When she agreed to Li entering the door, she also took a fancy to her family doing things in the yamen, so she quickly helped Li up, "Mother knows that you have contributed a lot to the family over the years, Xiu'er, she just entered the door, you should take care of it more." ”
"I can't let her ride on my head if I don't have to!" With the approval of Mrs. Wang's wife, the rocker instantly hardened, and asked Ling Xiu'er, "Have you forgotten, the second brother's tribute was all provided by me, I didn't give him a chance, and now I haven't sent a fart letter back to Beijing twice, I think this year is also mysterious, it is better to give the money to my brother to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
The more Li talked about it, the more excessive, and when it came to the end, he looked at people with his nostrils, and he didn't regard Ling Xiu'er as an adult at all.
Ling Xiu'er was so angry that her face turned red, but she still stabilized her mind and spoke, "Sister-in-law, the public use is the money I use from selling embroideries, and we also said before, you sell the handkerchief to me and give me a cut." It's not your money spent. ”
"Joke!" Li hooked his lips contemptuously, "The second brother doesn't need money to go to school on weekdays? The money you used to sell embroidery would have been used to pay the second brother's tie-up fee. ”
"But I heard my husband say that the master has been exempted from his shackles since last year, and he only needs some money, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone every month. Could it be that this ink can cost more than a dozen silver? ”
Li Shi's face changed when she said this, she had been hiding this matter for almost a year, and today she was suddenly stabbed, is this Ling Xiu'er stupid or herself stupid?
"This, isn't there still food and drink in the school, you can't make two dollars from that bit of embroidery, I still have to paste it upside down." Li's heart is weak, and his speech is not good.
Mrs. Wang was very unhappy when she saw that the Li family was lying to herself, "Old man, I let you manage the money because I think you are sensible, and you don't say a word about such a big thing as the master's reduction and exemption of the bondage fee, because you don't take me as an old woman in your eyes." ”
"Mother, I'm not busy, I'm too busy. But mother, don't worry, since I married into the Cao family, it is the Cao family, how can I turn my elbow out. ”
Li's mouth was sweet, but the corner of his eyes was eager to delay Ling Xiu'er thousands of times. When she married Ling Xiu'er, it cost less to enter the door, and secondly, she saw that she was working hard in the butcher's house all day long, she was stupid, but she didn't expect to lift a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
But for now, it's still important to keep the money in the dark in the past.
Li glared at Cao Li, Cao Li had already offended Li just now, and when she saw her small mouth coaxing the old lady, she was instantly coaxed and said good things to Mrs. Wang.
"Mother, in the final analysis, the Li family is also for the good of this family. It's not too early, I'll just look at it and forget it. ”
"Big brother, this matter can't just be left at that."
Ling Xiu'er was anxious. Cao Li and Mrs. Wang didn't know the Li family for a day or two, and they must have known her little abacus, but because of the Li family's mother's work in the yamen, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. She finally provoked the conversation today, and if she was suppressed, she wouldn't know how to be bullied.
"Phew, you little prodigal hoof! I haven't settled the matter of red apricots out of the wall with you, you are here to argue with me! Li's resentful gaze shot at Ling Xiu'er, who was standing aside.
Li's trouble, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.
Mrs. Wang pursed her shriveled lips and looked at Ling Xiu'er with suspicious eyes, "Xiu'er, I see that you are a rule, why did you do such a pickled thing today!" ”
Li Shi followed and added oil and vinegar to the side, "Mother, you didn't see Ling Xiu'er sticking to my brother's tightness, hey, I don't have the face to look at it." ”
"Sister-in-law, how can you spew blood."
The two of them who were still facing Ling Xiu'er just now brushed down to the Li family, and Ling Xiu'er was looked at by three pairs of suspicious eyes, and now they can't wash it even if they jump into the Yellow River.
"It's my sister-in-law who wants to give my embroidery to my brother-in-law for a blind date, and if I don't give it, I'll grab it." Ling Xiu'er's arguing little face turned red, "Look at my face, and my sister-in-law's palm print." ”
"You seduce my brother, who do I beat if I don't beat you? Ling Xiu'er, I see that you are toasting today and not eating and drinking. The Li family was aggressive, and slapped Ling Xiu'er again.
This time, Ling Xiu'er didn't dodge or dodge, and taught Li a lesson before being beaten again. She can see that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. If she doesn't put on some powerful poses, she won't be able to raise her head for the rest of her life.
The slap was crisp and loud, and Mrs. Wang and Cao Liang were stunned, Ling Xiu'er dared to hit Li.
