Chapter 51: Don't give
Xia Li sat down next to Xia Laohan with a smile and said, "The dish I made, Lord Ye and Lord Zeng from the provincial capital like to eat it very much, and they specially asked someone to come and learn how to make it with me, and rewarded me with silver." The third uncle said that Uncle Li, who was beside Lord Ye, saw that his master was happy to eat, and he was also happy, so he asked the third uncle to follow him to serve Lord Ye on a business trip to the provincial capital...... The Lord Zeng in the provincial capital is a relative of Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi, and is the deputy envoy of the Department of Punishment and Punishment, and is in charge of the judicial affairs of the whole Xiangjiang Province......"
Xia Laohan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "God, my obedient man, who is in charge of the criminals in the province, what a big official!" ”
Xia Li smiled again, "Yixiang Restaurant is a dowry shop opened by Mrs. Zeng, and the shopkeeper He also told me that if I have anything difficult in the future, I will find him, and he will help me." He also said that he knew the county magistrate and was familiar with the county lord and the county lieutenant. ”
Xia Laohan took two puffs of cigarette and said solemnly, "If you want to tie him up, you must tie him up, and if you don't get it in the future, you will be a noble person in Shanzi and can help him find a future." ”
The old man really hasn't seen much of the world, how can he help them, these flat-headed little people, and help Xia Shan to seek a future in the army, how is it possible!
Xia Li thought like that in his heart, he still pursed his lips and smiled, "My mother also gave the third uncle two taels of silver, so that he can have some eyesight, and he has nothing to do to invite those masters who serve Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi to drink and have a relationship." ”
Xia Laohan looked at Xia, who had just walked into the hall, and said, "Good girl, Dad knows that you have made great contributions to the family, and Dad has always remembered your goodness." ”
He was very satisfied with his daughter's approach.
Xia Li's face sank slightly, and he said, "It is right for my mother to be filial to my grandparents and grandmothers, and I am willing to make my mother's brother's life better." The reason why I gave money to the third uncle alone was because the third uncle had good thoughts about us, and the feelings and contributions were mutual...... However, we don't owe Sanbao any affection, and the good life of him and his second uncle is still thanks to my mother's blessing. I really want to say that I owe love, and they owe my mother. The second aunt dared to occupy my family's property so justifiably and impatiently, that is, she bullied us as orphans and widows...... Now that I'm older, I can't help my mother being bullied by her......"
She wants to explain the truth clearly to Xia Laohan.
Xia Laohan also knew that the old woman and Xiao Yang's forcibly stuffed the three leopards to their daughters were bullies, if they really stuffed in, the daughters and granddaughters would definitely have a hard time, and Xia Zhu and Xia Shan also told him about it.
He was reluctant to let this yard fall into the hands of outsiders, so he wanted to let the girl recruit a son-in-law. Now I found out that the girl is capable, worthy of being the daughter of Wenquxing, handsome, and married to a well-off family in the future, what is this small courtyard, maybe it can help his children and grandchildren. Before, he was wrong.
Especially Shanzi, if he really has the blue eyes of adults, he will have a future. It is said that a single tree does not make a forest, and it is always good to have a foil. His children and grandchildren can't catch up with Xia Li's wisdom, so the one who is most likely to help Shanzi may still be a girl......
Xia Laohan smiled more kindly, and said slowly, "That little Yang is a greedy mother-in-law who has been blinded by, don't pay attention to her." Now your mother also recognizes a son who is on the top of the door, and the five taels of silver will be bought by your mother to have peace of mind......"
Xia Li said, "It's not my mother who does the wrong thing, how can she be upset?" We resolutely refused to give the five taels of silver, not because we were reluctant, but because we didn't have this reason. My family earns some money, and they ask for words that they owe to the three leopards, don't we have to support them for a lifetime, which is also a disguised harm to the three leopards...... Moreover, Xiao Yang's hand is used to the three leopards, and the third uncle will be affected by them even if he becomes an official......"
It's not certain whether Xia Shan can be an official or not, but Xia Li must make a fuss about this matter first.
Balabala, Xia Li's righteous words made Xia Laohan nod frequently, feeling that the silver really shouldn't be given, and it really can't help the greed of Xiao Yang and the old woman. Now he is a relative of fish and meat, and in the future, Shanzi will be an official, so he doesn't want fish and meat for the people.
At this time, the door rang again, it was Mrs. Xia. She came here when she saw Li's mother and daughter cooking at home. Not only did she want to hear the news from Xia Shan, but she also wanted to get the five taels of silver in her hands.
She stood outside the door and did not dare to come in, and said in a loud voice, "Tie up that vicious dog." ”
Xia Erhu, who opened the door for her, said, "When Dangdang is not at home, the milk can come in with confidence." He pointed at Xia Ju and said, "He is Brother Ju." ”
Mrs. Xia already hated Xia Ju, and looking at him as white and beautiful, he was indeed much stronger than the Three Leopards. She was even angrier, and tapped his head and scolded, "Where did you come from, it's called Hanako." ”
The old lady's strength was a little strong, and Xia Ju was so scared that she sat on the ground at once.
only heard a dog barking, and a big dog rushed towards Mrs. Xia from the backyard.
When Dangdang came back, he happened to see the old woman bullying Xia Ju, and he was immediately furious.
When Mrs. Xia saw the vicious dog rushing over, she screamed in fright, "The vicious dog is coming, how can I ...... help?"
Xia ran out of the kitchen and hugged Dangdang by the waist.
Xia Li also ran to the yard and picked up Xia Ju, who was already crying.
She was very angry, ignored the old lady, and said to Dangdang, "Let's go, let's go to the backyard." ”
When Dangdang heard this, he glared at the old lady viciously and followed Xia Li.
Seeing that Dangdang was gone, Mrs. Xia returned to her soul and scolded Xia, "Why did your family raise such a vicious dog, kill it and drive it out." ”
Xia Shi was already very angry with Xia Ju when he saw Mrs. Xia like that, and he couldn't control so much when he heard her scold like this, so he said angrily, "Mother, are you still my mother?" I just recognized a son, and you didn't say you were happy for me, and you still had to beat him. Ju'er used to be an outsider, but now he is my son, and he is still filial to me, and even the official government recognizes it. Although Dangdang is a dog, it also knows how to protect us. Unlike Xiao Yang's white-eyed wolf, I gave her the silver to open a shop with a man, she didn't say that it was good to remember me, and she wanted to kill me to ask for more things......" cried again, "I was sold to human teeth by my mother for six taels of silver, and everything that should be paid back was returned." That's all I have left, and it's for my daughter, and everyone else is worried about it......"
Xia Laohan walked to the door of the hall and scolded, "You dead old woman, why do you find trouble as soon as you come." The girl is so good, you still have to make trouble with Xiao Yang. If you don't want to stay at your daughter's house, go home, get out! ”
Mrs. Xia was afraid of the old man, and she thought about what she wanted to do, so she had to say, "I just ordered that baby, and I didn't make any effort." Hmph, Lan Niang has always been more attentive to the baby than to the mother, first spoiled the girl like a dragon girl, and now spoiled a foreign baby like a dragon lamb...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. ”
So saying, she went into the hall.
