Chapter 121
Liuli was complaining casually, but she didn't expect to really ask her to say it, Li's nephew is really not a good one.
This person's reputation in Houpo Village is not small, and Shi Yong will know it after a little inquiry. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is idle and a very lazy person.
What made Shi Yong feel even more unsuccessful was that it was rumored that his hands and feet were not clean, and he had once committed petty theft, because the things he stole were not very valuable, and then he returned them, so he was not held accountable, but he finally left a bad reputation.
Such a person, after Pearl and Shi Yong discussed, they both felt that this person was unusable.
"But if you reject the second sister-in-law like this, I'm afraid she won't follow." Shi Yong thought of the temperament of this second sister-in-law, and suddenly felt very troublesome.
Pearl pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I have a way." ”
Shi Yong saw that she was sure of what she said, so he was also relieved.
In the first month, the relatives of the Shi family come to the door day by day, every day is lively, the business of Shiji Tofu Workshop is prosperous, everyone who knows wants to join in the fun, dip in oil and water, ask for relatives to find relatives, want to call the juniors of the family to work in the Shijia Tofu Workshop, the pearls are all smiling and chanting do not say yes, nor do they say no, but they can't be the masters, they have to nod their heads to the old lady.
And once he asks Shi Yong, he must inquire about this person, and even fewer can go to the old lady of the Shi family.
In addition to going directly to the Shi family, even Liuli is not spared.
Most of the ones she found were rejected by her on the grounds that she couldn't be the master of her sister's shop, but Aunt Liu was not good at generalizing.
Aunt Liu begged for her to marry the girl in the town, and she is her daughter-in-law's sister-in-law, and now she is an old girl in her early twenties.
The man is also a motivated person, he planned to make a sum of money before getting married, and after getting married, he did a small business with the little lady or something, so he followed the merchant to the south, who knew that he would never come back, there was no news, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
As time passed, the head of the man's family thought that he was dead and could not come back, so in order not to delay the woman, he withdrew from the family affairs and asked her to say another thing.
The woman's family also accepted it, and was ready to tell her about the new family affair, but the woman was unwilling, insisting that the man was not dead and must wait for him to come back.
"After coming and going, I became an old girl", Aunt Liu sighed, "At first, the family was willing to support her, but this year after year, there was no head, my in-laws easily found a suitable family for her, forced her to marry, and she left home in a fit of anger." ”
"It's a loving and righteous one." Liuli praised that in this ancient era with strict etiquette, there are really not many women who insist on sincerity like this.
"But it can be said," Aunt Liu continued, "My daughter has been friendly with her since she married into her mother-in-law's house, and she has been in love for many years, and she is like a sister, and now that my sister-in-law is in trouble, I want to find a living plan for her." Two days ago, I came back to pay New Year's greetings to me and told me about this, and I thought of Erniang. ”
"I used to have a business selling fruit dan peel here, but now I don't sell it anymore." Liuli said slowly, if it is really as Aunt Liu said, Liuli wants to help this woman: "Right now, my sister's store is short of manpower, why don't I ask my sister and brother-in-law what he means." ”
"That's exactly what it means," Aunt Liu clapped her hands: "Erniang, rest assured, this woman is not such a pampered lady, she is generally done with household tools, and I think that your eldest sister Pearl is pregnant, she is also a woman, and it is more convenient to take care of it." ”
This is right, so Liuli looked for the pearl again, and told her about it, and the pearl is also the most affectionate person, and she was also moved by the woman's firm feelings.
"I'll ask your brother-in-law to inquire, if the situation is true, it's appropriate to invite our shop."
"Hmm." Ruri nodded yes.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Pearl and Shi Yong should also go back to the town to continue to open shops, of course, Shi Yong also went to inquire about the woman Liuli said, this is indeed the case, and the husband and wife felt that it was her after discussion.
Pearl returned to Liuli, and Liuli went back to Aunt Liu, who immediately said happily that on the sixteenth day of the first month, she asked her to report to the tofu workshop.
During this period, Li wanted to look for pearls alone several times, but the latter quietly avoided them.
It wasn't until the night before parting, seeing that Pearl and Shi Yong were going to return to the town tomorrow, and the matter would be over, Li finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in front of a room of people in the Shi family.
Pearl Heart Dao waited for this time, and replied: "I have considered it with Xianggong, and I think that the cousin of the second sister-in-law is not very suitable, so let's just leave it." ”
Li Shi was anxious when he heard this, but he said patiently: "How can you say that it is not appropriate?" He is young and smart, and he has the strength to help you manage the shop well, and you can do any rough and heavy work. ”
"But when the husband inquired, he said that he was very lazy on weekdays and had stolen things." Pearl said bluntly that she didn't need to worry about the Li family now, "How can the second sister-in-law say that such a person is given to me, although the shop is managed by me and Xianggong, it is also our family in the end." ”
When the old lady of the Shi family who was in the hall heard this, she immediately frowned: "Stealing something?" That's not possible, how can you send this kind of person to the shop, second daughter-in-law? ”
The Li family wanted her cousin to help in the tofu factory, and Shi Yong had already been angry with the old couple of the Shi family about this.
Li's complexion changed, he didn't expect Pearl to say it so plainly, and he suddenly felt that his face couldn't be hung up: "No, mother, he ...... Though he was ...... Now it's been changed. ”
Mrs. Shi said unhappily: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how do you know that he has really changed?" ”
"I ......" Li Shi was about to say more, but Mrs. Shi directly blocked back: "This matter should not be mentioned again, I know that you are looking at the shop, but no matter how you say it, it can't damage the interests of our family." ”
"Besides, Xianggong and I have already found the right person." Pearl added.
"Oh? Who is it? Old Lady Shi asked with concern.
"It's the daughter of a family in the town, called Laneige's ......" Pearl spoke to the old lady carefully, but Li returned to his own house in a gloomy manner.
She made a shameless mess in front of the whole family, although she didn't dare to do anything with her mother-in-law, but she became more and more resentful and jealous of pearls, and cursed her every day for not being able to give birth to a son.
However, no matter how she cursed the pearl, she couldn't hear it, so she packed up her things early in the morning and happily returned to the tofu shop with Shi Yong.
On the same day, Zhou Xiaoshu also left, and he took the marinade and spices prepared by Liuli and set off on the road again.
After sending Zhou Xiaoshu back, Liuli received a message from Hongxiang, she had promised to marry Master Ding, and before officially entering the door, she wanted to make an appointment with Liuli.
