Chapter 8: Violent Beating
When Jiao Niang said this, not only the mother and daughter of the Lin family were taken aback, but Xin Ping was also taken aback.
Seeing the surprised looks of several people, Jiao Niang explained: "This vermicelli is made by me and my brother, and it can be sold at a high price when it is sold in the county." It's just that the process is complicated, and my brother and I still have to take Xin An, so we can't be busy. So I want to ask someone to help me do it together. Aunt Lin, you see? ”
Xin Ping quickly calculated the accounts in his heart, and indeed asked two people to help him make a lot of money, and he would definitely not lose money.
So Xin Ping also echoed his sister's statement: "Yes, auntie." We can trust you and Sister Ruyi's character. Do you think it's okay? If we can, we can set up a credential, and if you feel embarrassed, it doesn't matter. ”
How could Widow Lin not know that the brothers and sisters of the Xin family wanted to help her family? The people in the village thought that they were unlucky, and they didn't want to mess with them more. With the net worth of the Xin family's brothers and sisters, it is okay to buy two people in the county, but they thought of hiring her and their mother.
You know, and the person who bought it is the house slave of the Xin family, if he betrays the master's family. can be sent to the government to be put to death. And once the hired person has a black mind and learns the recipe, it is not impossible to start a new stove.
Moreover, one or two pieces of silver can feed and drink enough for their mother and daughter for two months. And the Xin family gave their mother and daughter two taels of silver per month!
"That's embarrassing. A tael of silver is enough. Widow Lin said crampedly.
Jiao Niang saw Widow Lin's discomfort and comforted: "My family's work is heavy. It's not okay to hire two people for one or two. I'm afraid that my aunt will be tired and run away by then! ”
Widow Lin and Lin Ruyi both laughed when Jiao Niang said this. Several people wrote a note in duplicate on the spot and signed it. It was agreed that Widow Lin's mother and daughter would go to Xin's house tomorrow morning to help.
On the way home, Jiao Niang looked at Xin Ping hugging Xin An silently, thinking that he was angry because of his own assertions, so she apologized to Xin Ping: "Brother, I'm sorry." I should have consulted with you beforehand. ”
Xin Ping came back to his senses and noticed his sister-in-law's guilty eyes: "Hire the mother and daughter of the Lin family?" It's still a matter of thoughtfulness. Brother is not angry. I just think that now everyone dares to bully my Xin family's door! ”
"Brother, it's good to have you. If you're not there. Xin An and I will only get more miserable. Jiao Niang thought of the tragic fate of the Xin family sisters and brothers after Xin Ping's death in the original book.
"No, I'll go to the village tomorrow to catch a watchdog!"
Jiao Niang looked at her brother helplessly, okay. He was completely immersed in his own thoughts.
Early the next morning, the brothers and sisters of the Xin family were having breakfast, and the widow and daughter of Lin came. Widow Lin was diligent with her hands and feet, and she tidied up the kitchen without saying a word, and Lin Ruyi also picked up Xin An and coaxed her to play.
I have to say that two more people are fast to do things. Before noon, all the two baskets of sweet potatoes had been made into sweet potato water and settled. Jiao Niang asked Xin Ping to go to the village to buy a few baskets of sweet potatoes and prepare to make some more in the afternoon.
At noon, Jiao Niang left the mother and daughter of the Lin family to go back to eat, and cooked braised pork ribs, hot and sour cabbage, shredded pork with green peppers and a fish soup. Widow Lin knew that her brother and sister were big hands, but she didn't know that they could eat so luxuriously.
She told her brother and sister in a serious voice: "It is said that the aunt should not say this, your family is different from the past, not to mention that Xin Ping wants to marry a daughter-in-law with money, and Jiao Niang has to save a dowry when she marries, even raising Xin An to grow up will cost a lot of money." This can be saved in terms of food consumption or saved! ”
The brother and sister nodded again and again, knowing that Widow Lin was for the good of his family. But they still don't think about this theory.
Jiao Niang is a modern person, and she is a post-90s generation. My favorite thing to do in my free time is to study what to eat. It is basically impossible for her to save on food.
Xin Ping can eat whatever he wants. But he felt that he couldn't lose his younger brothers and sisters, his father and mother were gone, and they were already bitter enough. Keeping them well fed and clothed is the ultimate goal of his brother.
After eating, Xin Ping went to the village to buy sweet potatoes. The remaining three women took Xin An and sat in the hall gossiping.
"Bang bang bang ......" There was a knock on the door of the Xin family.
"Who?" After the previous "borrowing grain" thing, Jiao Niang was a little nervous when she heard the knock on the door.
"It's me, Zhu Erlin, I'll return the pot."
As soon as she heard that it was Zhu Erlin, who she knew well, Jiao Niang breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Zhu Erlin standing outside the door with a basin.
"Jiao Niang, can I go in and sit down?" Zhu Erlin didn't mean to return the pot, and made a strange request.
"Is there something wrong with Second Brother Zhu?" Jiao Niang thought Zhu Erlin was weird. Intuition told her that it was better not to let Zhu Erlin enter the door.
Zhu Erlin's face flushed: "Jiao Niang, today's gentleman from the academy said that I am likely to be admitted to Xiucai next year!" ”
Jiao Niang smiled and said, "That's good! Congratulations. ”
Zhu Erlin threw the basin on the ground excitedly, trying to hold Jiao Niang's hand. Jiao Niang was startled and quickly retreated to the door, so that Zhu Erlin did not succeed.
"What are you doing!" Jiao Niang was shocked and angry, the small hands of the women of the ancient Laliang family, this is really light!
"Jiao Niang, listen to me. I'll be able to take care of your family if I win the show. When you marry me, you will be a talented lady......" Zhu Erlin was still excited, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Until he was splashed with a scoop of cold water on his face.
Zhu Erlin wiped the water stains on his face with his sleeve, and only then did he see clearly that it was Widow Lin who splashed the water. Behind Widow Lin, Lin Ruyi hugged Xin An and looked at Zhu Erlin in horror.
Zhu Erlin was depressed for a while, obviously he only came over when he saw Xin Ping go out. Unexpectedly, Widow Lin's mother and daughter were actually in the Xin family.
"You rotten! Today I will teach you a lesson for your father. Widow Lin picked up the deadbolt casually and beckoned to Zhu Erlin's head fiercely.
Zhu Erlin hurriedly used his arm to block it, but he was still beaten and wailed again and again, hugging his head and running away. The two of them fought to the door of Zhu's house, and Aunt Zhu heard the movement, and before she could speak, she was pulled into Zhu's house by Widow Lin.
After being quiet for a while, Aunt Zhu burst out with an angry roar: "I'll kill you dog!" Immediately, Zhu Erlin's screams came from the Zhu family.
Jiao Niang and Ru Noodles looked at each other, and after a while, Widow Lin came back with a smug look on her face with the door bolt.
"It's reasonable for the Zhu family. I made it clear from beginning to end, and Zhu Yang directly took the door bolt and gave Zhu Erlin a violent beating. I watched Zhu Erlin read his brain badly! Widow Lin sneered and carried the basin at the door back to Xin's house.
When Xin Ping came back and found out about it, he put down the sweet potatoes and the pups. With a cold face, he went to Zhu's house. Unsurprisingly, Zhu Erlin was beaten by Xin Ping again.
Not long after Xin Ping came back from Zhu's house, Zhu Sanlin went to invite Lang Zhong home. When others asked, Zhu Sanlin said that the second brother was drunk and fell half to death, and he wanted to find Lang Zhong to take a look.
