Chapter 91: Two Conditions (1)
No matter what the other three brothers and sisters thought in their hearts, Shan Cuihua was very happy to be coaxed by her eldest son in the past two days. Mai Xiaohuan felt that if the money was in her mother's hands, she might have been coaxed by these two people to buy a house by now.
It seems that it is really necessary for me to separate the household registration from this family, otherwise my father and mother will not have anything left in the end, and there will be no place to live. And your own plans to make money should also be slowed down and see how it goes. The safest way is to cooperate with the Tang family on a few projects first, earn a sum of money, and then buy your own house and land, and live with your father, second brother and second sister, it is best to find a place far away from Pingliang County.
It wasn't until the fifth day of junior high school that Mai Xiaohuan thought of a solution, but after she said it, she was severely taught a lesson by the second brother and the second sister.
"What kind of bad idea did you come up with, give your mother a mask/sweat medicine, and you think of it." Mai Xiaofang slapped her sister on the back hard, and even the idea of medicine came out, next time something happens, does she want to kill people and set fires.
Mai Yonghai also disagreed, how could anyone who is a calculating biological father and mother of a person's child be punished by God and struck by lightning.
Isn't there no way? When you want to do it!
"You two have also seen it in the past few days, in order to buy a house as soon as possible, in order to avoid the two conditions I mentioned, all the methods you can think of have been used, can't you see that your mother has been shaken?
In the sixth year of junior high school, Chen Qiuniang and the eldest brother coaxed their mother again, what they wanted was to get it, and my father and mother and second brother would probably have a sad life in the future. β
Although my sister's words are very reasonable, but ......
"As long as I let my mother sleep for an hour, let's book a room in the inn and let my father guard it personally, I really can't think of any other way to stop my mother, if you don't agree, let my mother follow, what unpredictable consequences will occur, don't blame me alone."
Mai Yonghai and Mai Xiaofang were silent, because they really didn't have a more suitable idea...... In the afternoon, Mai Yonghai went to the county alone.
At dinner, Mai Yonghe still coaxed Shan Cuihua hard, piggybacking on and praising Chen Qiuniang for how virtuous and sensible she is, and she regards her younger brother as the sky at home, which is like some people's children, who like to take care of adults' affairs, and there are no rules!
As soon as the chopsticks in Mai Xiaofang's hand wanted to be skimmed out, they were held down by Mai Xiaohuan and asked him to speak! It's no wonder that my mother likes to hear such words.
Of course Shan Cuihua doesn't want to listen to this kind of words, in her heart, her son is as important as her daughter, and after going through so many things, she thinks that the two daughters are more sensible than her son!
After eating, when her mother was not in front of her, Mai Xiaohuan asked, "Big brother, when did you make an appointment with the girl of the Chen family?" In which restaurant? β
"About the middle of the time, of course, I went to the Fortune Building."
This is to slaughter yourself as a fat sheep! How many taels of silver does it cost to eat at the table in the Fortune Building? In order to let the Chen family sisters and brothers improve their food, the eldest brother is really willing to attack his own sister.
Okay, isn't it just a meal? I just invite myself, I hope that after the discussion, they still have an appetite and can still eat.
Early the next morning, Mai Yonghe told his family not to forget the appointed time, change into new clothes for the New Year, and leave first.
Mai Xiaofang pouted and complained: "The eldest brother now regards himself as a member of the Chen family!" Our family is like marrying a daughter-in-law! I think it's their Chen family who wants to recruit a son-in-law! β
Only those who are poor and can't eat, or who really can't help it, will let their sons be sons-in-law! Shan Cuihua stretched out her hand and patted Mai Xiaofang, warning her to eat more and talk less at noon.
"Mother, we don't have to bring silver today!" Mai Xiaohuan asked tentatively.
After hesitating for a moment, Shan Cuihua told Mai Xiaohuan that she would bring the silver today, and pay the house money after eating, and the landlord was in a hurry to go back to her hometown and had already urged her several times.
I'm afraid Chen Qiuniang urged it several times! Mai Xiaohuan asked how much silver there was in the family now.
"These days, my mother is always throwing things away, and I have long wanted to ask you two how much silver I brought back, but I forgot about it when I was busy. Mother, plus the one you instructed not to move, a total of a little more than ninety-seven taels, how much did you bring, enough to pay for the house! β
The house in the county still owes one hundred and forty taels to others, so it is enough to take fifty taels from the silver he brought back: "The county lord settled the silver money of me and my second sister, a total of forty taels, plus the New Year's money given by my stepmother and the Tang family, it should be enough for fifty taels." β
Mai Xiaofang lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her skirt, her sister lied without blinking her eyes, and she couldn't see any discomfort on her face, which made people want to admire it or not, I believe that with her, today's matter will be solved satisfactorily.
The eldest son's family affair, thanks to Xiao Huan, did not give her ideas for the family to plant wild peppers and sweet potatoes; Without the money she received from the county lord, what would she do to buy a house for her son!
I also promised my son to persuade Xiao Huan last night, don't mention the conditions, how can I open this mouth! The girl is also for her own good, afraid that Chen Qiuniang will make trouble and find trouble in the future, if she depends on her, what should her son do if he is stubborn?
Mai Xiaohuan pretended not to see her mother's expression of embarrassment, and urged her to go back to the house to change her clothes.
"Didn't we just meet at the same time? What do you do with clothes that are so early? Shan Cuihua asked puzzled.
"Let's go early, find a place to rest there, my second sister and I haven't been to the county for a long time, so I just took the opportunity to take a walk today."
Shan Cuihua couldn't help but laugh at Mai Xiaohuan: "Qingcheng County is not much bigger than Pingliang County, you can't see anything there, and it is rare to visit a small county town." β
No matter what Shan Cuihua said, the sisters still pushed her back to the house, and when several people were almost cleaned up, an hour passed, which means that Mai Yonghe has now entered the county seat.
"Dad, put on our carriage and let's go!" In order to let her mother relax her vigilance, Mai Xiaohuan handed over all the fifty taels of silver to her for safekeeping.
"You...... You don't mention the conditions. "It would be great if the matter was solved so easily, Shan Cuihua would not be entangled, she believed that after meeting, as long as Chen Qiuniang's attitude was better, and she beat the side drum again, her daughter would not bite the two conditions.
Mai Xiaohuan smiled and said nothing, how could he not mention it! The more the eldest brother and Chen Qiuniang are like this, the more they have to be on guard. It doesn't make sense that the silver that a large family has accumulated for a year of hard work will be handed over silently, if the other party is really a kind and virtuous person, he will take the silver himself. For Chen Qiuniang, who obviously wants to calculate people, who not only looks down on the identity of the Mai family, but also changes her way to eat and take cards, she must not get used to it.
Mai Xiaohuan just wants to see that the silver is in her hands, and her mother doesn't come forward, how can Chen Qiuniang perform this play.
In less than half an hour, the five of them arrived at the county seat, strolled around the street for a while, and the sisters were clamoring to rest.
"If you don't do farm work for a year, the two of you are really about to become a big lady who can't lift your hands and can't resist on your shoulders." After laughing at the two children, Shan Cuihua still relied on the two of them in the end and found an inn far away from Fuyun Building with a small faΓ§ade.
Mai Xiaofang entered the door and asked the shopkeeper to open a room and prepare some snacks and tea.
These two children now know that they have spent money to enjoy it, and they also want tea and snacks, so they can't bear it, and they will have to order it when they go to Fuyun Building after a while, it's too wasteful.
Mai Xiaofang accompanied Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua into the room, and the shopkeeper who served the tea was stopped by Mai Xiaohuan, and after sending people away, Mai Yonghai shuddered and took out a small paper bag from his arms.
"Xiao Huan, is this really okay? My mother will definitely get angry afterwards, and my eldest brother won't spare me, or ......"
It's really verbose, Mai Xiaohuan asked about the measurement first, pinched the paper bag and estimated, and when Mai Yonghai didn't react, the powdered thing had already been poured into the cup. Mai Xiaohuan stirred the tea with a spoon, and pushed the door into the guest room with a very indifferent and calm expression.
Shan Cuihua said that she didn't want to eat snacks, and only took a sip of tea under the persuasion of Mai Xiaohuan: "Today's tea tastes a little weird." β
Have it? Maiwan took a sip of the cup in front of him, but he didn't taste any strange taste.
"Mother, you think it tastes weird, it's because you've been on fire lately, and your mouth is bitter, and you won't feel this way after drinking a few more sips."
Looking at the old lady who was full of doubts but still obediently drank the tea, Mai Xiaofang was afraid that she would snatch the cup in the past, and she was even more afraid that she would expose her stuffing at this critical juncture, so she chose to avoid it and left this arduous task to Mai Xiaohuan alone.
After a while, the brother and sister standing outside the door heard Mai Wang shouting: "Xiao Huanniang, what's wrong with you!" β
Mai Xiaohuan opened the door to let the two of them in, and then the three brothers and sisters knelt at Mai Wang's feet together.
"Go find a doctor to show your mother, she'...... She's ......."
Mai Xiaohuan took a step on his knees, grabbed Mai Wang's clothes and explained: "Dad, don't panic, my mother has nothing to do, the reason why she fell asleep was because I was drugged by me in the tea." β
Down/Medicine! Mai Wan couldn't believe that these words were said by the little girl herself, and she couldn't believe that she did it. After living for so many years, it was the first time he had heard that there was a girl who gave his own mother/medicine to him?
"You...... You...... Why do you want to do this? Meng/sweat medicine is also medicine, and if others know about it, you still ...... "Do you want to find your in-laws?"
Mai Xiaohuan said that she didn't believe that Chen Qiuniang would live a good life with her eldest brother, she had seen and listened to the conversation between the two sisters, and they were clearly here for the family's money and property. Only the eldest brother is fascinated by good or bad, except for Chen Qiuniang's words, he will not listen to anyone now. Obviously, the mother has been shaken by his coaxing in the past few days, and I believe that if Chen Qiuniang says something good, the house will be easily booked.
The conditions put forward by yourself have become decorations.
