Chapter Forty-Eight: The Problem of Servitude

"Mother, Sister Yue is seventeen years old this year, why don't you book a family affair for her? , This is related to Sister Yue'er's life, in another year or two, it will not be so easy to say that you are a good person. Looking at the back of Sister Li Yue leaving, after a while, Li Su'e turned to Mrs. Li and said.

"Look at her like that, how can I have my grandma in my eyes, she had to go back to the Zhou family's family last time, and made a fuss, threatening that I don't have to take care of the family affairs in the future, it's all like this, I don't need to use my hot face to stick a cold ass, besides, one is not good, I don't want my old cheeky to let my own children and granddaughters go to court." Mrs. Li was still snorting angrily, obviously what Sister Li Yue said at the beginning, Mrs. Li had always remembered in her heart.

"Mother, that's just angry talk, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, and the six Westinghouse are all your grandchildren, you still have to worry about this kind of thing." Li Su'e said.

Mrs. Li snorted for a while before she said: "I know it in my heart, but Sister Yue'er is not a peaceful person in the eyes of those housewives in the town now. Mrs. Li said, she was also a little worried in her heart, this eldest granddaughter was afraid that it would be difficult to become a boss when she got married.

"Mother, I heard from the townspeople that Sister Yue saved the Yu steward of the River Engineering Institute, and I heard that the Yu steward is also young and handsome, otherwise, ask inquire." At this time, Li Su'e said again, although saving people is an expedient measure, but in the final analysis, the two can be regarded as having a relationship, and if it is suitable, it will be no better.

"No, my mother-in-law's granddaughter can't marry a scholar if she marries. It's not a big deal. Mrs. Li's face was cold again.

"Mother...... Didn't I hear that he had already been dismissed? Li Su'e wanted to say more, but in the face of the cold light in Mrs. Li's eyes, she had to shut up.

However, she has to help Sister Yue'er remember this, who let Sister Yue'er's father and mother leave early.

It's a few days in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, as soon as the morning fog cleared, Liuwa entered the hustle and bustle of a new day.

Because of the establishment of the river engineering office, the wheat field in the west of the town has been very lively recently, early in the morning. Sister Li Yue set up two tables at the door, and made an awning with oil, so that everyone can sit down, eat tofu brain in the morning, drink soy milk, and boil green bamboo leaf tea in the afternoon. Leisurely, coming and going, just such a small stall, the living expenses for a day will come out.

Xibu has not yet been established, just a river engineering office, the whole town of Ximaichang began to revitalize, this area used to be the most deserted place in the town.

"The mother-in-law of the Yao family. The notices of the yamen of the river engineering office have come out. This year is not more than in the past, I heard that the project is very large, the manpower required is a lot, each family must produce a young and strong man, can not use the service money to pay, before, the river engineering office of the government let each male go to the river engineering office to register, your family stool remembered? "The lady of the coffin shop finished buying the tofu and sat down. chatted with Mrs. Yao in the ready-to-wear shop on the side.

"Not yet, this time I have to get rid of a few layers of old skin, but I said that I am in charge, this matter is not in a hurry, look at other people's houses." said, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Zhou family is rumored outside, only the silver will not be the head, saying that the two stewards of the river engineering office are fooling around and bad rules, so, this matter, let's take a look again, and then follow the big cow, we don't want to be the first bird." Yao Niangzi said.

"That's what the Yao family's mother-in-law said." The Yuan lady nodded vigorously.

Yue Jiao'er listened on the side, and went to gossip with her eldest sister: "Eldest sister, fortunately, the second brother has already won the place of Daddy, otherwise, his small body is afraid that he will have to confess on the river." ”

But no, although Mo Yi's hard work in his previous life was not seen with his own eyes, it was conceivable, and now that he wants to come back, Mo Yi's imprisonment disaster can be regarded as something to gain, otherwise, he will fall into the hands of the Zhou family like in his previous life, and Mo Yi will not be able to say that he will still be on the road of his previous life.

This is really what Daddy said, Saion lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing.

The two sisters were chatting, when a dark-skinned man in his early thirties was looking at the door of the Li family's tofu workshop.

"Uncle......" Sister Li Yue watched from afar, and shouted happily. Sister Li Yue's uncle arrived, and her uncle's name was Shanlang.

"Ha, big girl, I haven't been here for a few years, your family has changed a lot, and you actually opened a tofu workshop, well, there is a good craft, and it is enough for the family to chew." Shanlang entered the tofu workshop, looked around for a while, and then sat down, Yue'e scooped a bowl of soy milk, and then baked two pieces of dough cakes, Shanlang obviously came early in the morning, his stomach was hungry, two pieces of dough cakes, a big bowl of soy milk was eaten up.

Filling his stomach, Shanlang looked at a few small ones around him, and then opened the cloth bag, which was full of some mountain fruits, red, green and yellow, which were good-looking, and some of the fruits were squeezed out, flowing with juice, exuding a sweet smell, and a few little guys drooled when they smelled it.

Shanlang divided the fruit, and a few little guys happily went to find the little brothers and sisters to offer treasures, even the ink wind was not exempt from vulgarity, only Yue'e sat on the side obediently, looked at the stall, and ate the fruit slowly, quite a little self-satisfied.

"Sister Yue'er, where is your father? Is what you told me in your letter true? Is your dad changing his temper? As soon as he sat down, Shanlang was a series of questions, and since he received the letter, his heart was full of joy, but he was afraid that the time would be empty and disappointed.

At this time, he really didn't know that Li Xianggong had died of illness. He was just strange, in the past, his brother-in-law always wanted to avoid suspicion, and the materials on the good river work were not close to himself, but to those irrelevant people, which made him hold his breath for a while, so although what Sister Li Yue said in the letter was true, he was still a little suspicious.

When he came, the head of the mountain was explained, so that he must win this business, the life in the mountains has not been easy these years, make a little more, and only then can he have a sincere year in the New Year.

Sister Li Yue heard her uncle ask about her father, her expression was a little gloomy, and she got up and said, "Uncle come with me." ”

Then Sister Li Yue led her uncle into the back room, where there was a tablet of Daddy and Grandma, incense was burned, and Shanlang looked at her brother-in-law's tablet. I couldn't believe it: "When did your daddy leave?" ”

"Since A-Niang left, Daddy's health has not been very good, and Daddy looks like a desperate San Lang in everything, and after a few years, his body collapsed, and he passed away at the end of last year." Sister Li Yue said one by one.

"I have said a long time ago that my brother-in-law can't act like that, he is more serious than anyone else, but he is often thankless, if it weren't for his ability to work on the river. It's going to be an excuse to resign a long time ago, but I don't know the harmony at all, and the life at home is getting worse and worse. Although he was saddened by the death of his brother-in-law, he thought of leaving six sisters and brothers in this room, and Shanlang was a little angry.

"Uncle, don't blame Daddy for some things, Daddy said it before leaving. It's not that he doesn't want to help you, but he can't, Daddy himself is too serious about doing things in the yamen, and he always offends people, if he hands over the matter of the stake to you, then you will become someone else's living rake, no matter how complete a person is. It is impossible not to have the slightest mistake. Then it will not help you, but harm you. Sister Li Yue said.

When Daddy was critically ill, he often talked to him about some family matters, and talked about Uncle's affairs, as Daddy said, not because he didn't want to.

"You girl, those Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, Uncle doesn't remember it for a long time, but blames your father. He is working too hard, if he wants to take care of a few of you, he will not finally collapse his body, I see under the spring, your aunt has to settle accounts with your father. Shanlang said, looking uncomfortable.

It's been more than half a year, and the Li sisters and brothers have also come out of the shadow of their mother's death and their father's death.

Sister Li Yue didn't want her uncle to be sad, so she changed the topic, first introduced the business of the wooden stake, and then introduced the background of Yu Yang's two stewards, that is, the relationship between the two princes, so that her uncle knew it in his heart.

"In that case, this business is ironclad." Shanlang was also very happy when he heard it.

"As long as the price is negotiated and the quality of the stake is guaranteed, there should be no problem." Sister Li Yue said and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the River Engineering Institute now, and you can talk to Yang Dongcheng." ”

"Okay." Shanlang is a person who is anxious, and he can't wait to talk about things immediately, so that he can go back to the mountain to pull goods.

On the tofu stall, the tofu has basically been sold out, and there are still some dried tofu and soybean oil skins left, Sister Li Yue explained a few words to Yue'e, and then took her uncle to the river factory not far from the mill.

The road is not far, just a blink of an eye.

The two followed the yacha into the backyard of the river engineering office, and as soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Yu Ziqi and Yang Dongcheng sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, both frowning and pondering.

Seeing Sister Li Yue coming, the two came back to their senses, and Yu Ziqi was busy letting the yacha serve tea and snacks, while Yang Dongcheng beckoned Sister Li Yue's uncle to sit down, and the two couldn't wait to talk about the wooden stake.

The business of wooden piles, Sister Li Yue and Yang Dongcheng have talked about the same, only the quality and quantity of the goods, and these problems, Sister Li Yue's uncle is familiar with them, and made an auspicious explanation of the quality and quantity of wooden piles, so the whole agreement is initialed, just wait for Shanlang to return to the mountain to transport the goods, you can first mention a part of the payment, as for the part left, it is to be paid after the completion of the project, this is the branch rule of the Yamen material payment, it has always been the case.

And Sister Li Yue's part is naturally indispensable.

Things went very smoothly, but there was not much joy on Yu Yang's faces.

"Isn't there any difficulty, two stewards?" Shanlang was afraid that there was something bump in this, so he asked with concern.

"It's not about the material, it's just about the labor." Yu Zi period is a little sullen.

Yang Dongcheng waved his hand, he was refreshed, so he put it aside for the time being, and beckoned the yacha to drink wine and cut meat, and wanted to invite Shanlang to eat wine.

When Sister Li Yue heard the artificial problem that Yu Ziqi said, she thought of the conversation between Yuan Niangzi and Yao Niangzi at the stall today, so she said: "But no one in the town responds to the recruitment?" ”

"But no, I see, eighty percent of the Zhou family is doing ghosts." Yang Dongcheng and the others are all lifters, none of them are stupid, so they can naturally see clearly that the Zhou family is using means, but the problem is that he and Yu Ziqi are two outsiders, and they really can't speak in this Liuwa Town, knowing that the Zhou family is making trouble, but they can't do it for a while, of course, they can also send the Yacha to enforce it one by one, but in that case, they will offend the entire Liuwa Town, so what will they do in the future?

"By the way, Sister Yue'er, your father is in this business, what do you think we should do?" Yang Dongcheng had already seen this Miss Li's skills several times, but he was asking sincerely.

Sister Li Yue frowned, in fact, the people of Liuwa Town can't escape from the river workers' servants, and now, it's just that the Zhou family wants to fight with Yu Yang and the two, if Yu Yang and the two are squeezed out, the matter will fall back to the Zhou family, and everyone will have to obediently go out of the river workers' labor.

Therefore, in today's situation, the people of Liuwa Town are doing gunmen for the Zhou family in vain, and when the Zhou family takes the position, that board will hit the Liuwa people again. In case of any event, if the second master behind the two Yang is angry, I am afraid that he will be angry with Liuwaren.

Besides, now that Mo Yi is still young, many things must rely on the help of Yang Er, so from this point of view, Sister Li Yue does not want Yu and Yang to be squeezed out.

So, Sister Li Yue said: "This matter is very simple, as long as the Zheng family comes forward, it will be fine." ”

"The Zheng family?" Yu Ziqi and Yang Dongcheng looked at each other, the Zheng family knew about it, and it was also after this tribute accident that the second master took a fancy to and served under the account, it is said that some things are being prepared for Caoyun, and the second master and the seventh master plan to take this opportunity to meddle in Caoyun.

It's just that in the matter of Rending, what role can the Zheng family play, it's a big deal, for the sake of serving the second master and the seventh master, let his own male sign up, but what can his family do?

"You are a foreigner, I don't know, there is a saying in Liuwa, there are two tigers in Liuwa, East Zhou and West Zheng, this is the Zhou family and the Zheng family, the Zheng family don't look at them are all knife craftsmen, the status is very low, but the Zheng family is a man, and he does the work on the knife, and he has a great reputation, plus he is righteous and righteous, and his reputation in the town is quite good, most of the people in the town are only the Zheng family, so the Zhou family has to avoid the Zheng family for three points on weekdays, therefore, this time, as long as the male of the Zheng family registers his name first, Then spread the word that the second prince attaches great importance to this project, and the people in the town will naturally have scruples when they hear it, plus the Zheng family is registered in the front, and others can't afford to provoke the Zheng family when they see it, so other people can't afford to mess with it, so if they learn from it, they will come to register, as long as this thing is broken, it should be fine. Sister Li Yue said in a clear manner.

After Yang Dongcheng and Yu Ziqi heard Sister Li Yue's words, their eyes lit up together, Sister Li Yue was right.

As long as the Zheng family comes forward, this matter will be solved. So, the two of them bowed to Sister Li Yue together, and Sister Li Yue hurriedly moved a step to her uncle's side at a loss.

At this time, the yacha served the wine and food, Shanlang stayed to eat wine with Yu Yang and the others, Mo Yi also accompanied him, and Sister Li Yue said goodbye.
