Chapter 156

“…… Xiaoru, that girl's name is Wang Xueyao. Her father was encouraged by their neighbors, seeing that the weather was dry this year and that there must be a shortage of food, so he started to buy and sell grain, but he never thought that although this year's drought was severe, the imperial court dealt with it properly, and the price of grain was not expensive, but because of the emergence of some new crops, the price of grain fell ......"

"The business may not make money, and even have to owe some interest, it's nothing, the house leak happened to rain overnight, half a month ago, a fire, turned their granary into ashes, this is good, it's all over, the Wang family is almost smashing the pot and selling iron to pay back, or owes more than 300 taels of foreign debt, Wang Xueyao her father. Anxious and angry, he fell ill all of a sudden, and he was very sick, several times he stepped into the ghost gate with one foot, fortunately Wang Xueyao, the girl was filial, and the old doctor invited was also kind-hearted, and used half an old ginseng, which saved his life, however, if his father wants to live smoothly, I am afraid that he will have to rely on a lot of precious medicinal materials in the future, and now good medicinal materials, especially ginseng, are hundreds of thousands of taels at every turn, which is what the poor can afford to eat, compared with the cost of seeing a doctor, the debts owed are nothing. ”

Lou Yi looked at Xiao Ru with a wry smile, "...... That girl's silver bracelet didn't sell for much at all, just a little, how could it be enough for her father to heal his illness, I thought, anyway, this thousand taels of silver is nothing to us...... That's it...... The girl also stuffed me with an extra jade wrench, I heard that it was her mother's relic, and I didn't want it. But the boy insisted, so I took it...... Xiaoru, the owner of the tea shed, said that the people in Chunyulou have been in contact with the little girl recently, and if I really let that girl sell her body, I really can't bear it! ”

Xiaoru didn't speak, only looked at Lou Yi quietly with a pair of black and white eyes, and looked at Lou Yi with a red face.

“…… Xiaoru ...... I promise that if I encounter this kind of thing in the future, I will definitely discuss it with you first. ”

Xiao Ru smiled bitterly, looking at her father-in-law's low eyebrows and careful appearance, she could only sigh, originally, Xiao Ru felt that her heart was too soft, but there was no way, she was a doctor, and the doctor must have compassion for others, but she hoped that her husband could be hard-hearted. One is hard and one is soft, gathered together, complementing each other, and life goes smoothly, but now it seems that this father-in-law of his own family is also very soft-hearted.

"Xianggong, one thousand taels, even for us, it's not a small amount, I'm telling you this, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I can't help people indiscriminately, there is an old saying that is good, Shengmien, Dou Mi Qiu, for example, if you buy her bracelet, if you only buy her things back at a slightly higher price, for example, one hundred taels, this is also helping her, and she, must be grateful to you, people will also say that you are kind, but you take out a thousand taels at once, That means you don't take the money seriously at all, and that person may think. If you can take a thousand taels, you can take out more, and she may want you to help her family more, or even pestering you, if you refuse to help, then you may offend her. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that Wang Xueyao must be such a person, but, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, we have to prevent this kind of thing, now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, the old man has repeatedly explained, our family should be low-key, if you spread the matter of a little girl with a thousand taels of help, in case more people in need of help come to the door, do you help or not! If you don't help, people will definitely say that you treat you differently, and you have taken a fancy to the little girl of the Wang family, if you help, not to mention that our family doesn't have that much ability, if the saint knows, will you think that you are winning people's hearts......"

“…… It's not that serious, is it? Lou Yi smiled bitterly, didn't he just take out a thousand taels of pocket money. helped others, how could Xiao Ru say it, it's like 'a great crime'.

Xiaoru shook her head and slowed down her voice: "I'm not saying that it's wrong to help people, but if we have to find the right way, we also have to pay attention to this 'degree' problem, if you help that girl like this, she may have a kind of dependence mentality, and gradually develop the habit of accepting help from others, and in the end." Maybe she will feel that the help of others is taken for granted, and even gratitude is gone...... She can be self-reliant now, she wants to start a subsidized family, I think it's good, you can try to help her find a job, let her earn money with her own hands, change her family and her own destiny, instead of giving her your own money like this, let her get it for nothing, think about it, she has no relationship with you and no reason, what reason does she have to accept your help? ”

Xiao Ru would think about this, it is not unfounded, in the 21st century, she has heard a lot of such stories - once Xiao Ru was sick and hospitalized, and something happened - at that time, there was an aunt in her forties in the ward where she lived, and that aunt was a very serious heart patient, and she was still half paralyzed, and she had been in the hospital for more than two years.

Xiaoru was hospitalized for a week, and met the eldest ** girl, in her twenties, dressed very fashionably, I heard that it was called by the head nurse, after coming, she served her mother roughly, and kept complaining about what to say - Xue Zhen is too irresponsible, why didn't she show up for so long, etc., at first, Xiaoru thought that Xue Zhen might also be the eldest ** daughter, and the sister or sister of the girl in front of her didn't take it to heart, after all, there was no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, in this case, the eldest ** daughter was still willing to serve. That's good.

It wasn't until she was about to be discharged from the hospital that Xiaoru heard from the nurse that Xue Zhen was just the big ** neighbor, when the aunt was hospitalized at the beginning, people saw that her children were busy with work, and Xue Zhen was a freelancer, and she usually wrote something for newspapers and magazines at home, and there was plenty of time, so she was kind enough to help take care of the big **, and the big ** children were also very grateful to Xue Zhen, and gave fruit gifts, and said a lot of good things, but Xue Zhen didn't expect that she took care of the old man for more than two years as soon as she took care of it like this. Except for the first few months, the eldest ** children don't come to serve at all, even if they come to see occasionally, they have never started to help, and Xue Zhen is not a fool, when he saw this situation, he explained to the hospital nurse and aunt, and went out to collect style.

As soon as Xue Zhen left, the eldest ** daughter did come to the hospital, but she kept complaining about Xue Zhen, and she didn't expect that people had nothing to do with your family, it was for the sake of the neighbors, so they came to help, and the one on the hospital bed was your mother, not someone else's mother.

At that time, Xiaoru was stunned by this, thinking that it was the very famous world wonder story, and it was not so unusual, after returning home from the hospital, I told my mother, my mother didn't care, but suddenly remembered something, took Xiaoru's hand and said: "After you get married in the future, don't rush to show yourself at first, housework or something, don't do it all alone to show your filial piety and virtue, especially to your mother-in-law, don't be particularly careful in front of her, let's not be arrogant." , however, a little tempered, from time to time to make a little temperament, it doesn't matter. ”

"Girl, you can remember, if you do a perfect job at the beginning, no matter how hard you work in the future, whether it is your mother-in-law or husband, you will take it for granted, and you can't see your good at all, until you behave a little jerky at the beginning, be tough, and give a little sweetness in the future, your mother-in-law and husband will remember your good ......"

Thinking of the past, Xiaoru sighed, the way that my mother said about getting along with husband and wife, I can't use it in my life, and now the times are different, and the relationship between her and her mother-in-law is not an ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

These experiences may not be suitable for everyone, perhaps, some people can exchange sincerity for sincerity, and they are very good to their mother-in-law and husband, and their mother-in-law and husband are also very considerate of her and understand her. However, it cannot be said that the mother's experience is unreasonable. At least, Xiaoru felt that doing what her mother said was much more reliable than relying on the thoughtfulness of her mother-in-law and husband.

“…… Xiaoru, I understand, I promise, there will be no next ......"

Lou Yi is a smart person, and when he let his wife say this, he came back to his senses and felt a little annoyed.

Xiao Ru came back to her senses and smiled: "It's nothing, my family has a good heart, this is a good thing...... That's good, if Miss Wang Xueyao can solve the problem by herself, of course it's best, if she really can't solve it, I can ask her to help me plant some medicinal materials, I will produce seeds, she will provide labor, and after the medicinal materials are completed, all of them will belong to my pharmacy, and I will not give her wages, I can only promise that if her father needs medicinal materials to cure his illness, the medicinal materials in our pharmacy can be sold at a discount. ”

Lou Yi smiled suddenly, "Lady, it's better to have your method, if that girl grows medicinal herbs for you, she will definitely learn the planting method from you, she has such a craft, and she won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future." ”

Ding Feng sat aside, having been quietly listening to Xiaoru and Lou Yi talking, but at this time he couldn't help but smile, "Xiaolou, take a look, you are such a big man, and your younger siblings are not as fast as your younger siblings, do you want to go to the old man to copy poems and books for a few days and clean up your head?" ”

Lou Yi raised his eyebrows, only glanced at his brother, and ignored him, all because this kid was jealous.

I didn't expect it at first, the matter will be solved at this time, Xiao Ru thought about it, and was a little wary of what Wang Xueyao was, Lou Yi didn't do it well this time, then Wang Xueyao wouldn't misunderstand that her father-in-law had taken a fancy to her, and after a thought, Xiao Ru secretly laughed at herself, this is not a drama, how can it be so outrageous, besides, Ding Feng is also there, under normal circumstances, as long as Lou Yi and Ding Feng appear together, the girls are absolutely reluctant to share the afterglow of the corner of their eyes.
