Chapter 13 So it was
Yang Huiyun was wearing a thread, and when she heard movement outside, she got up curiously and saw Wang Xiu'e appear in the courtyard, and asked in surprise: "Eh, why are you free?" ”
There are very few people visiting the door this month, and the stepmother-in-law and her family on the north side will not be so kind to visit.
Wang Xiu'e couldn't come to the door once because her brother and daughter-in-law were watching her tightly like a thief, and the rest of the rest who were friends with her also came to visit her once or twice at most, but after a month, the courtyard was very deserted.
Yang Huiyun originally thought that she would have to wait for three months of filial piety before she could see Wang Xiu'e, but she didn't expect her to come over today, which was really a bit surprising.
"Hey, don't mention it, I came out in the name of hunting pigweed, no, I'm still carrying a basket behind me." After Wang Xiu'e finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at her, and then continued to walk towards her, her tone was a little proud, "My third brother and sister are still in the house and haven't come out, so I quickly took this opportunity to sneak out, so that she doesn't know where I came up the mountain." ”
Speaking of this brother-in-law, Wang Xiu'e is also very helpless, staring at her every day, and she is afraid that other houses will take some more benefits from the family and make them lose their three rooms.
When Gu Shan was in charge of the first seven days, because she was friendly with Yang Huiyun, she saw that their family of orphans and widows was not in a good situation, so she came over to help for a few days.
At that time, Yang Huiyun had not yet sat down and was a little emotional, Gu Huai'an was still young, and there was not even a person in charge at home, so Wang Xiu'e specially mentioned it to her mother-in-law, saying that she wanted to come over to help, but her mother-in-law also looked at the family pitiful, so she agreed to come over.
As a result, her brother-in-law was not happy.
Because as soon as Wang Xiu'e came to help, the work of the family was divided into several other concubines, and the third brother and daughter-in-law felt that she was deliberately lazy and deliberately did not want to work, and her attitude was inevitably a few points worse, and her words were all cynical, and even remembered this matter for a month, paying attention to her movements at any time, and preparing to report to her mother-in-law whenever there was anything wrong.
In such a situation, it is not good for her to come to the Gu family to see her.
The first seven came to help, and it was bad luck to come to the door afterwards.
Yang Huiyun couldn't help laughing when she heard her playful words, welcomed her into the house, reached out and poured her a glass of water, and said gently: "You remember me so much, I am very grateful in my heart, since your brother and sister-in-law are keeping an eye on you so closely, but it's okay to visit, I will be able to move around the village normally in two months, and your brother and sister will have nothing to say at that time." ”
"Hey, what's not grateful, do we still need to be so polite?" Wang Xiu'e is relatively straightforward, she doesn't like to care about these mothers-in-law, she waved her hand and said, "I'm just a little worried, I saw that you weren't in a good state on the first seven days, and because of this incident, I was stimulated and saw red, and I don't know what happened to you, so I thought I wanted to come and see you, since you're fine, then I'm relieved." ”
After saying this, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Gu Changning who was obediently sitting on the small pestle by the door and bowed his head to embroider, Wang Xiu'e suddenly remembered Gu Huai'an, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you see Sister Ning, Brother An?" ”
"He's gone to school." Yang Huiyun said softly, "Before, I was thinking about whether I should let Brother An continue to go to school, or Ning'er said it, she said that her brother is smart, diligent and studious, and even Mr. has praised it, it's a pity not to continue reading." ”
"Oh, that's the case......" Wang Xiu'e nodded.
She originally thought that Yang Huiyun would make Gu Huai'an give up studying, after all, with the current situation of their family, there is indeed no shortage of labor.
Gu Huai'an is twelve years old this year, and she is considered half of the pillar of the family, so naturally she should think about it for the sake of her family, so she will think that this school will not be successful.
But now that Yang Huiyun has decided to let Gu Huai'an continue to study, Wang Xiu'e can't say anything.
In the final analysis, this is also someone else's business, not to mention that she knows a little bit about the situation of the Gu family, and now is not a difficult time, and it is not too surprising that Yang Huiyun wants her son to continue studying.
What surprised her was eight-year-old Gu Changning.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiu'e couldn't help but glance at Gu Changning a few times, and joked with a smile: "Ning Ning has grown up, and she knows how to persuade A-Niang." ”
Gu Changning was holding the embroidery shed in his hand, making a serious embroidery look, but in fact, his ears were straight and listening to the conversation between A-Niang and Aunt Wang, and when he heard her mention herself, Gu Changning immediately raised his little face and said proudly, "That's not it, thanks to my persuasion A-Niang, when Aunt Cai came to my house yesterday and said that she wanted to introduce work to her brother, A-Niang didn't agree." ”
"Aunt Cai? Which Aunt Cai? Wang Xiu'e was stunned.
Yang Huiyun looked at her, "It's the eldest sister Cai next door to Mrs. Wu's house." ”
"She's here to introduce An'er to work?" Wang Xiu'e's eyes widened when she heard this, "What is the introduction?" It can't be the restaurant where her nephew and uncle are, right? ”
"How do you know?" Yang Huiyun was stunned for a moment and said strangely.
"It's a good thing you didn't agree, that's a cannibal who doesn't spit out bones!"
Yang Huiyun was taken aback, looked at her and frowned and asked, "What eats people and doesn't spit out bones, what's going on?" ”
"Then did Mrs. Cai tell you that there is a guy in the restaurant who doesn't do it, so there is a shortage of manpower?"
"Hmm."
"I'll tell you, that guy didn't do it, he was forced to leave!" Wang Xiu'e approached her and whispered, "The shopkeeper is a Zhou Papi, who said that he would pay 300 yuan a month, but he found various names to deduct 50 yuan!" You say black heart is not black heart? ”
Wang Xiu'e will know this, or because she is in charge of the acquaintance with the shopkeeper of a steamed bun shop in the town, yesterday she went to the town to buy oil, salt and other sundries, and by the way, chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, only to know that the shopkeeper of the restaurant did a black thing, and came back to tell her.
Now that she heard Yang Huiyun's words, it was obvious that Mrs. Cai wanted to calculate their family, so Wang Xiu'e hurriedly told her, so as not to get into the way of the old woman.
"Fifty wen? So many ......" Yang Huiyun looked at her with surprise on her face.
Gu Changning sat aside, lowered his head and snorted coldly in his heart, saying in his heart that this is not a lot of Auntie, but in his previous life, his brother was deducted one hundred and fifty Wen, and half of it was cut off!
The shopkeeper was like this at the beginning, just deducting a few dozen cents under various names, saying more or less, and it was all within the acceptable range anyway.
However, after Ah Niang's health gradually deteriorated, the shopkeeper also began to have bad intentions, and the more he deducted more, he directly deducted half of it in the end.
It's not that my brother didn't want to change his job, but he was thin and young, and other shops felt that it was not cost-effective to use him, so he could only continue to stay in this restaurant until he died of high fever.
So in this life, she said that she would stop her brother from jumping into this fire pit again!
