Chapter 14: Shameless Abacus (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"No, this is your hard-earned money, dumb girl, how can it be spent on me in vain." Xu Sanchun shook his head and said, "Besides, according to Wang's insatiable nature, I'm afraid I can't feed it." ”
"Gotta try, I can't watch you fall into the jaws of a tiger." The dumb lady insisted.
Xu Sanchun thought for a while and said, "Dumb girl, since we have money, why bother in this family?" If we leave here, we won't be at the mercy of others. ”
"Even if you dodge this time, I'm afraid there will be a next time."
"Where can we go without this?" The dumb lady touched the top of her hair lovingly and explained, "It's all because I don't have the ability to stand on my own." ”
Is this a modern society, as long as you have money in your pocket, you can go anywhere.
The dumb lady has never been married all her life, so she has to rely on her brother to live. She and Xu Sanchun's household registration both fell in this Tiantai Township and the Xu family. If you want to leave, you have to find Li Zheng to issue a road guide, and to open a road guide, you must obtain the consent of the head of the household, Xu Jinshui.
This goes around and around, but it still can't get around the Xu family.
Xu Sanchun just wants to look up to the sky and howl, heavens! O earth! Did you make me work so hard to cross over again, just to give that old man a concubine?!
"Don't be afraid, girl, I will definitely not let you marry Sun Yuanwai." The dumb girl's eyes were firm: "As long as I can dispel this idea with my brother and sister-in-law, I can find you another good family." The sister-in-law of the Wu family in the village has asked me privately several times that her son is an apprentice in the tea shop in the town, and she will be a teacher in two years. ”
Xu Sanchun knew the mute girl's temperament and felt her determination to protect herself. But she always thought that Xu Jinshui and his wife, once they saw the silver taken out by the dumb girl, they would be like a cat with a fishy smell, and their desires would be insatiable.
"Dumb girl, don't worry, that matchmaker was just beaten away by us, and she won't come to the door again so soon." Xu Sanchun planned to drag the dumb lady first, and then think slowly: "There are still a few days before the birthday of the old lady Baojia in Nanfeng Town, I have already told the Wang family, let's go to the town." ”
"In this matter, let's inquire about the situation first, and then make a calculation." That Sun Yuanwai also lives in Nanfeng Town, and he doesn't know anything at the moment, so there is no way to talk about countermeasures.
"It's okay, my silver money is in the money bank in Nanfeng Town." The dumb lady agreed to Xu Sanchun's proposal.
I went to Nanfeng Town, but not just for this matter.
The birthday gift given to the old lady Baojia, since Xu Lan has reversed herself, she must be prepared to bear the consequences. Originally, Xu Sanchun also embroidered a few purses, and wanted to try to see if he could sell them for a few dollars, but since it was not a matter of money, it was just that.
In the evening, after the family had dinner, Wang kicked out all the children and closed the door to Xu Jinshui to talk about today's incident.
Xu Jinshui frowned and reprimanded: "What are you doing, I heard about it in the salt factory, and it has become a joke of other people's families." ”
It's not just jokes, it's even more ugly. said that their Xu family sold the girl who was raised by the dumb lady for a few dollars, which was too unkind.
Although many people suspect that Xu Sanchun is the illegitimate daughter of a dumb girl, the two have a bad reputation. But in this Tiantai Township, Xu Sanchun's unparalleled beauty has attracted many people's peeps. Thinking that such a beautiful woman would be cheaper than the old man outside Sun Yuanwai, everyone was naturally uneasy.
Let's do it, if the raw rice is cooked and the tongue is chewed off by those idlers, forget it. The key is that this hasn't been done yet, and the mutton hasn't been eaten yet, so it has caused a commotion.
Thinking of the eyes of those people, Xu Jinshui was angry.
Wang Shi looked at his face and said cautiously: "It's all that Deng Matchmaker's wife who has a lot of things!" I told her that Xu Sanchun was born well, and she had to see it with her own eyes to count. ”
She quickly pushed everything on Aunt Deng, and never mentioned that she wanted to get more gifts.
Seeing that Xu Jinshui's face was slightly softened, Wang took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, you are in charge, I will go to Nanfeng Town tomorrow and finalize this matter." ”
Xu Jinshui thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "After this incident, my sister didn't come to you?" ”
Wang Shi was surprised: "What is she looking for me?" ”
"I see that she treats Xiaosan as her own child, and I will never let her be a concubine." It is rumored that Xu Sanchun is a dumb girl and an illegitimate daughter, but Xu Jinshui knows that it is definitely not.
Although he didn't want to admit it, their Xu family couldn't give birth to Xu Sanchun's good looks. Unless, the dumb lady's man is handsome. But how could such a man take a fancy to a mute?
"Naturally, she didn't want to." Thinking of the scene where the dumb girl went crazy during the day, Wang snorted coldly: "I can't help but be unwilling!" ”
"You don't understand what I mean." Xu Jinshui's voice was even lower: "The last time Xiao San was sick, didn't she take something for you?" I thought about it, she still had good things on hand, but she just didn't want to take them out. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Xu Jinshui say this, Wang's eyes lit up, and he nodded violently like a chicken pecking rice.
"Yes, yes! It's still a good brain. Last time, I went to the town to look for the master of the Fufeng, and it was really a good thing. "Although it is only made of silver, it is beautifully crafted and has a unique texture, and it is not an ordinary arm.
"So, we took advantage of this to dig out all her family resources."
Wang Shi echoed: "That's! Their mother and daughter, who eat our family and live in our house, even secretly hide their private money! It's just too much to say. ”
"Tell me if she was with a man when she was young, so she has these good things."
Xu Jinshui shook his head and said, "Who knows? When I was a child, my family was poor, and there was no salt field in Tiantai Township at that time. When someone came, her father and mother sold her, and they didn't see each other for more than ten years, until she found her again. ”
The dumb lady was only a few years old when she was sold, and when they met, Xu Jinshui didn't recognize this as his sister at all. If it weren't for the dumb lady who took out Lu Yin and the deed of sale back then, he wouldn't want to take in this mute woman holding a baby at all.
The dumb lady couldn't speak, and it took a long time for Jinshui to figure out that the master she was sold to was not good for her, and she had been doing some rough work because she was sick and became mute. Later, the master's family was raided by the government, and when the government saw that she was dumb when she sold slaves, they allowed her to redeem herself and opened a way for her to return to her hometown.
"According to her, it's really strange where she got these good things." Wang muttered.
She has always used the dumb girl as free labor, and has never thought of squeezing any oil and water out of her. Therefore, when the dumb lady took out the silver arm, she easily allowed Xu Sanchun to continue to lie down and recuperate.
"You don't care about the reason, just let her take it out this time." Xu Jinshui said: "I always feel that she has a lot of good things in her hands. ”
After saying this, the two turned to talk about the things in the salt works.
Xu Sanchun, who was squatting under the back window, gritted his teeth in anger and clenched his fists. She didn't expect that she would eavesdrop on a whim, and she happened to listen to the shameless calculations of Xu Jinshui and his wife.
