Chapter 123: Impatience
"However, you should go to your in-laws' room first. Or put it in your own hands. Liu Taobo's mother-in-law couldn't help but persuade.
"Okay, let's go. I also have to bother my mother-in-law and help me take care of my father's funeral. Liu Taobo thought about it, felt that it was also the same reason, and nodded in response.
"You're polite to us, you guys go quickly." Liu Taobo's mother-in-law waved her hand and signaled.
The little couple nodded with everyone, and then went to the backyard, to the shopkeeper and the young lady's bedroom, but they didn't find anything.
Liu Taobo thought about it, in addition to his father and Mei Niang in the bedroom, it is possible that his father will not be placed here. The two of them guessed carefully and decided to go to the bookkeeper's account room to have a look.
Sure enough, in the corner of the account room, Liu Taobo found a small box.
"It must be this, Dad must have hidden the money here." Liu Taobo opened the box while talking to his wife.
"One hundred taels, two hundred taels, two hundred and fifty taels... It was two hundred and fifty taels of silver, whole silver, and some broken silver. ”
The shopkeeper never told Liu Taobo about the family's money or anything, so Liu Taobo didn't doubt this number, but was a little surprised.
"That's a lot of money! My dad really saved a lot of money. ”
Then, Liu Taobo recalled, "I remember that my father seemed to tell me that my father could count because of his literacy, and my mother was still alive at that time, and our family sold a total of thirty taels." Now I'm left alone, and I guess ten taels is enough. What about you, daughter-in-law? ”
"My father and mother have been slaves since I was born, and I am the son of the house. There was no money at all, and he was directly enslaved. ”
Liu Taobo's daughter-in-law thought about it after speaking, and discussed with Liu Taobo: "In this way, let's directly give a total of thirty taels of silver to the son." Speaking of which, everything in our house now belongs to Childe, but if these things are not to mention the money, it will be troublesome. ”
"Let's discuss it with Gongzi, and we will treat each of us as ten taels of redemption money. The remaining ten taels will be the money we bought from these belongings. I think Childe is a benevolent person, I can definitely agree, what do you think? ”
"Humph! Benevolence is a fart! Liu Taobo muttered dissatisfied, and complained to his wife: "If he hadn't tossed to climb the mountain, my father wouldn't have had an accident." ”
"But according to what you said, my mother and my father bought a lot of things together." After venting, Liu Taobo still agreed to his wife's proposal.
"Let's go, we've found something, let's go find them now." Liu Taobo got up and gestured.
"Wait! Messire! Liu Taobo's daughter-in-law suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes, looking a little speechless.
"What's wrong? If you have something, just say it! Liu Taobo was a little impatient.
"Those two... What should I do? Shall we help them redeem themselves? Liu Taobo's daughter-in-law said tentatively.
Liu Taobo's daughter-in-law is a woman, and she has all the sensitivity and observation of women. Therefore, she also knows about her father-in-law and her father-in-law's covetousness of their stepsister, and their flirting from time to time.
It's just that she prides herself on marrying her husband and wants to be a virtuous wife. And this matter started by her father-in-law, so she couldn't stop it. But after all, she didn't want to do it, and her husband was close to other women.
And now that the father-in-law is dead, there is only this mother and daughter who have no blood relationship with their husbands. It stands to reason that it's okay no matter what, but she is afraid that Xianggong is worried about that little vixen, and he has so much money in his hand, it will not be good if he faints and ransomes them.
"They are not my own mother and sister, what are you wasting that money for?" Liu Taobo said this, not because he saw his wife's reluctance, but for him, he was still more greedy for money than lustful.
Although he has indeed coveted Huihui's beauty, it is okay to let him take advantage of it for nothing. It is harder to let him spend twenty taels to ransom them than to cut off his flesh.
"That's good." No matter what Liu Taobo's reason is, his daughter-in-law is very satisfied with this result.
"Let's hurry up and get out now, otherwise my father and mother will be in a hurry."
The couple walked to the front yard together with the box, and then walked to Gu Nianyuan, and told the two of them to Gu Nianyuan in a consultative manner.
"Counting the deeds of our husband and wife, there are a total of thirty taels of tithes. Childe, do you think this is okay? ”
"Yes, yes, but the deed is still at home. You find a good house and move things in, and it's not too late to talk about it. After speaking, Gu Nianyuan deliberately showed a trace of hesitation.
"Is there anything else going on with Childe? It doesn't hurt to be straight. Liu Taobo's father-in-law is very good at looking at it.
Gu Nianyuan followed his words before he spoke, but he still asked with some hesitation.
"Aren't your mother and sister with you?"
Gu Nianyuan deliberately showed a look of disappointment, because it stands to reason that he doesn't know that Mei Niang's mother and daughter are not related to Liu Taobo now.
Therefore, a normal person should see that his son only redeems his daughter-in-law and himself, and does not care about his mother and sister at all.
Liu Taobo's father-in-law also realized that this was inappropriate, but his son-in-law was useless. The money his father left him could still be saved. Therefore, he did not mention the ransom of Mei Niang and Huihui.
Instead, he sighed and said to Gu Nianyuan: "Childe doesn't know, in fact, my son-in-law's biological mother has passed away. His sister is also a child brought by his own mother. ”
"Oh, I see." Gu Nianyuan first had a suddenly realized expression, and then it seemed that he was a little guilty because he had misunderstood Liu Taobo.
"It just so happened that the two of them were very skillful in making rouge, and my sister praised them very much. If you want to reopen the rouge shop, you can't leave them. ”
And this remark, in the eyes of everyone, is that Gu Nianyuan deliberately said this because of guilt to make up for Liu Taobo.
Who doesn't know that the business of the rouge shop is not good, and how good can the rouge be.
Although I know these things in my heart, I don't destroy heaven and earth for my own sake. For the sake of his son-in-law's good work, Liu Taobo's father-in-law should believe Gu Nianyuan's words and echo them again and again.
"The matter has been discussed almost, and there is still something to do at home, so let's say goodbye, and I will come tomorrow with the deed of sale." The goal was achieved, and Gu Nianyuan didn't want to make a false mistake with these people anymore, and proposed to say goodbye.
"Wait!" Liu Taobo's daughter-in-law stood up again and stopped.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you always in trouble?! Gu Nianyuan didn't answer yet, but Liu Taobo was dissatisfied and reprimanded his wife unceremoniously.
Liu Taobo's father-in-law and mother-in-law next to him saw this scene, and their eyes showed a lot of dissatisfaction.
"What's the matter?" Gu Nianyuan stood up and played a round game, he really wanted to leave here quickly.
