Chapter 17
"Let's go home and eat, there are vegetables and meat at home." Jiang Xiangyun said.
Chen Qingmei nodded, "Let's buy another fish." ”
"The eldest sister seems to like to eat fish very much."
"You can get smarter by eating fish."
"Really? If I eat 10 fish a day, will I be able to read and write? Jiang Xiangyun asked expectantly.
Chen Qingmei smiled and pinched her cheeks, "Not only that, but you can also take the top prize." ”
"Then I'm going to eat fish every day."
"Before you get the top prize, you'll become a fish." Chen Qingmei smiled.
Jiang Xiangyun knew that Chen Qingmei was teasing her, and couldn't help laughing.
The two sisters went home together, but they didn't expect to see Qian Xiumei at the door.
Chen Qingmei hadn't seen Qian Xiumei before, so she didn't know her, but Qian Xiumei stepped forward and called them.
"You are Chen Qingmei and Tang Muyao." Qian Xiumei looked at them carefully.
This kind of look made Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun feel very uncomfortable.
Chen Qingmei remembered that this voice was the one standing outside the door last night, it seemed to be the Qian family, and this purpose was obvious.
Jiang Xiangyun said, "May I ask who you are?" ”
Qian Xiumei said, "This house of yours is ours." ”
"It's the landlord." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"I want you to get out of here." Qian Xiumei said directly, "I'll give you three days to leave." ”
"It's not impossible to leave." Chen Qingmei said with a smile.
Jiang Xiangyun was anxious when he heard this, how could he leave, but when he saw his eldest sister's unhurried appearance, his heart relaxed.
Qian Xiumei smiled unabashedly, "It's good for you to be interested, and only half of the three-month rent can only be refunded to you, for the sake of your pitiful little girl." ”
"Okay." Chen Qingmei wrapped her arms around her, "We don't want a penny for rent." ”
Qian Xiumei thought that she had met a fool, just these two little girls, what else was her mother worried about. "Alright, you guys should go quickly."
"Give us twenty taels of silver first, and we'll leave." Chen Qingmei said.
"What? Twenty taels of silver? Qian Xiumei exploded as soon as she heard it, "I think you are crazy, where did you get twenty taels, you think it is beautiful." ”
"It's written in black and white, if you don't believe it, go back and read the contract." Chen Qingmei said, "Either take twenty taels out and we will leave immediately, or we will leave here." ”
Qian Xiumei pointed at Chen Qingmei and said, "If you don't leave, you have to leave, hurry up and get out of me." ”
"When will you bring twenty taels, and when will we leave."
"If you don't leave, I won't be able to do your business." Qian Xiumei said viciously, with a delicate face, like a shrew.
Chen Qingmei said, "Then wait and see, you better go back and read the contract, if you can't read, find a literate person to read it to you, and we'll go back." ”
"Oh, good, big sister." Jiang Xiangyun followed Chen Qingmei into the door and closed the door.
Qian Xiumei was closed, she was angry, and she scolded outside.
"What kind of person, seeing that our family is making money, they want us to leave, no way." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Hmph, unless you bring twenty taels." ”
Chen Qingmei said, "Don't pay attention to them, hurry up and make lunch, I'm hungry." ”
Qian Xiumei rushed home to you at once, and the anger on her face had not yet subsided.
"What's the matter?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family heard the movement outside, but she just didn't show up and asked her sister-in-law to quarrel with them.
Qian Xiumei said, "These two dead girls actually opened their mouths and asked for twenty taels of silver." ”
"What? So much. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family was startled, "What's going on." ”
"I think they're crazy about money." Qian Xiumei crossed her waist, "What is written on the contract, is there this on the contract?" ”
"I don't know." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family said, "At that time, it was a contract signed by my mother. ”
Qian Xiumei said, "Will my mother be so stupid?" Asking for twenty taels of silver, what can she do, maybe these two dead girls are talking nonsense. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family had a vague impression, but she couldn't remember it, so she pushed the pot on Mrs. Qian, anyway, no matter what happened to her, if this matter came to pass, she would benefit, if it didn't work, it would be a big deal to wait for three months, these two little girls always had to leave.
They all hid it from Qian Weihuai, and if Qian Weihuai knew, he would definitely scold them severely, so he did it in private.
Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun made three dishes, cooked noodle soup, and ate them around the table.
"Eldest sister, what if they drive us away and don't give us money?" Jiang Xiangyun took a sip of noodle soup.
"Report to the officer." Chen Qingmei said succinctly, "It's written in black and white, it's hard for them to deny it." ”
"Then what if they come over and make trouble, we can't do business." Jiang Xiangyun was still a little worried.
"Report to the official, come to our store officials for dinner, I don't believe they dare to come." Chen Qingmei usually treats these officials with special favor, and will say some good things, send some things, and do a small business, so she naturally has to deal with these officials, and it will be more convenient to have something when the time comes.
Jiang Xiangyun nodded, "That's the only way, hey.... It's really unlucky, how did you meet this family, that woman is too annoying. ”
The two of them were talking and eating at the same time, not like the Qian family, who were still living a life with deductions and searches.
The Qian family is also having lunch, there is no oil and water on the table, the money in the family is let the third child of the Qian family take it to Beijing to catch the exam, even the money earned by Qian Weihuai and his two sons, as well as the rent money have been given to the third child of the Qian family Qian Dapeng one after another, it is too expensive to go to the capital to catch the exam, not only on the road, but also to live in the capital, so as not to delay the exam, and to visit Mr., this kind of expense, has made the Qian family bottom, what they are looking forward to now is that Dapeng can go to high school as soon as possible, The family's hard life was over.
The Qian family does not count the three sons of the Qian family, there are eleven people, two old couples of the Qian family, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family, the second son and second daughter-in-law of the Qian family, and three grandsons, a granddaughter, and an unmarried Qian Xiumei.
There was silence at the dinner table, and several people had different thoughts, and their faces were not very good.
The two daughters-in-law of the Qian family dare not speak out, they have already scolded the old couple in their hearts, why let Qian Laosan go to the exam, let them live a hard life, if Qian Dapeng can't go to high school, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket for nothing.
Qian Xiumei is also dissatisfied with the third brother, if Qian Dapeng is in high school, it will be fine, if she falls off the list, the worst thing is not her, she is not married yet, there is nothing dowry, what can I do if I go to my mother-in-law's house in the future.
