Chapter 15 Can't Cheap Him
Xu Lanyin was busy explaining for the Qin family, "At first, my mother didn't know that Gu Wangchen's virtue was not good, but she slowly discovered it later. ”
She was a little moved. The original owner has done so many bad things, and they are still thinking about her. He added, "Don't worry, we know their sinister intentions, and we can think of ways to deal with them." ”
Mrs. Xu said, "What can I do?" Gu Xiucai was just a showman, and the people in the village held him up to the sky. Especially that Xu Lizheng, I don't know how to tie up. If he becomes a man, not to mention that the landlord, Lizheng, and the villagers want to slap him, even the county lord will have to give face. slapped Xu Lanyin twice and scolded, "Dead Nizi, those six acres of land are the lifeblood of your family, but they were given to that pair of wolf-hearted mothers and sons, and now the people and money are empty." ”
If the family affair is gone, it will be gone, but the six acres of land have been added to the dog's belly, and the more the old lady thinks about it, the more she loses, and she is so angry that she beats her chest.
Xu Lanyin had to admit that the old lady was telling the truth. In the countryside, not to mention the old man, he is a showman, and he is respected and loved by almost all villagers. If he is a small farmer who has nothing to rely on, he will definitely not be able to move into the career on one leg.
In the memory of the original owner, in order to save face for Gu Wangchen, the Xu family never explicitly mentioned how much money Gu Wangchen gave Gu Wangchen before, and even Mrs. Xu and his wife and the big house were not mentioned, only the money from the sale of land came out. Therefore, although everyone in Xiaozao Village knew that the Xu family provided Gu Wangchen with education, Xu Lan ate inside and out, but they didn't know how much money the Xu family spent on Gu Wangchen.
Xu Lanyin said that since they got married, what support the family had for Gu Wangchen, and the Qin family and Xu Lanzhou supplemented it.
A rough calculation of the pen account shows that the Xu family has spent a total of more than ninety taels of silver for Gu Wangchen over the years, which is a huge amount in the countryside. Not to mention that Mrs. Xu was so distressed that her old face wrinkled into a bun, and even Xu Lanyin, Qin's family, and Xu Lanzhou were all in severe pain.
Xu Lanyin was very embarrassed for the original owner. said, "It's best to find a way to let the Gu family settle it privately with us, I offered to quit my relatives, and they returned our silver and took what we needed." If he doesn't want to pay back the money, and wants to make my reputation stink, I won't sit still. Grandma and eldest brother went back to tell the uncle about them, first reveal how much money the mother and son of the Gu family used my family, and then reveal the fact that they wanted to ruin my reputation and quit my family. Although we can't get Gu Wangchen in the open, but the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and I have to fight him to the end even if I have a bad reputation......"
Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "Stupid, it's so big, you won't be able to get married in the future." ”
Xu Lanyin said stubbornly, "It's better to live if you can't marry than to be killed by the Gu family, and let that wicked person get both benefits and a strong reputation." ”
The Qin family also felt that they would rather not be able to marry their daughter than let her marry Gu Wangchen. said, "Money is something outside the body, don't think about asking for money, just return your relatives." ”
The old lady glared and scolded, "Losers, why is the old silver cheap." If there is a way, you must come back. ”
Xu Lanyin is also unwilling to cheap Gu Wangchen and wants silver, even if the previous one is not returned, but the forty taels of silver sold this spring must be thought of coming back, which he can't rely on.
After several people discussed, Xu Lanyin left Mrs. Xu and Xu Dashi to eat at home, "I picked up some mushrooms and a few wild eggs today," I wanted to say that I would make a scrambled egg with leeks, but I thought that there was no oil at home, so I changed my words, "Cook a poached egg for my grandmother and eldest brother, mother, eldest brother, and younger brother, and then cook a pot of mushroom noodle soup." ”
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Lanzhou distressedly and said, "A poor family doesn't learn to live, so those eggs are kept for my two grandsons to make up for their bodies." Dashi went home and got five eggs and a scoop of white noodles, and I hadn't eaten a meal in this house in a few days. Oh, catch another laying hen and keep it for the two boys. Poor one, thin as a piece of paper, and bleeding so much. ”
After speaking, he glared at Xu Lanyin again.
Xu Dashi let out a "hitch" and ran out quickly.
Xu Lanyin helped the Qin family back to the bedroom and lay down, and went to the east chamber to visit Xu Lanting. He was still lying on the kang, his face was so red that he even exhaled his breath was hot.
Xiao Zhengtai looked at her and said, "The eldest sister doesn't marry Gu Wangchen, just don't eat inside and out." Don't be sad, I'll be able to see my dad when I'm dead, I miss him. "The voice is small, and the breath is weak.
Xu Lanyin's nose became sour, and she gently stroked his little face and said, "The eldest sister won't eat inside and outside anymore, and she will save her life." You take good care of your illness, wait for your sister to earn a lot of money, buy you good medicine and delicious food, buy new clothes to wear, and study when you are older. He brought the half-lukewarm water on the table and coaxed her to drink half a bowl.
Xu Lanting was moved, and said with a pout, "Eldest sister, I scolded you a lot in my heart before, and you are still so good to me." When I see my father, I will tell him that my eldest sister has a heart and will not be defeated again. ”
The voice swirled in his throat, but Xu Lanyin still heard it clearly.
She added, "Little brother believe me, you won't die." Wait, sister will cook you noodles and poached eggs. ”
Mrs. Xu went into the east chamber to see Xu Lanting, Xu Lanzhou went into the kitchen to light the fire, Xu Lanyin went to the field and pulled out a piece of ginger and a few shallots, washed and slice the mushrooms, and Xu Dashi came back. He not only brought what Mrs. Xu asked her to take, but also a small half bowl of lard, "Your sister-in-law gave it, saying that there is no oil in the intestines and it is uncomfortable." ”
He was embarrassed to say that when his daughter-in-law Li was scooping oil, he was seen by his mother Gu. Gu Shi was very unhappy when he saw that he had taken so many things, "When your grandmother goes to the second room to eat, not only must she bring her own rations, but also bring enough for them to eat a few meals." ”
Li Mingqing in the courtyard heard it, and came over and reprimanded him in a low voice, "You just don't say a few words, you have to be scolded when your father hears it." ”
Xu Lanyin thanked him. With lard, the noodles will be more fragrant.
She scooped a small spoonful of lard into the pan, and with a "sting" sound, the aroma of lard immediately overflowed the kitchen. Put down the ginger slices and green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the mushrooms and stir-fry a few times, and pour in a small half pot of boiling water.
I made noodles for a few people and lay five poached eggs. Except for Xu Lanyin, everyone can share one, which is what the old lady means by letting her take five eggs. Xu Lanyin guessed her thoughts, and she wouldn't be greedy to cook one for herself.
Serve several large bowls of noodles.
The old lady muttered, "I didn't expect the silly girl to have this skill, the noodles without meat smell more fragrant than the noodles with meat." ”
The old lady gave her eggs to Xu Lanzhou to eat, and Xu Dashi also gave her eggs to Xu Lanzhou and pushed them for a long time. The old lady cursed, saying that she had to eat more eggs after so many nosebleeds, so Xu Lanzhou took it. I usually eat a lot of food, and I can stand eating three eggs at a time.
