Chapter 12: Fang's Scheming
"Yue'e, what are you doing standing at the door stupidly? Who did you just talk to on this cold day? Sister Li Yue slept in a daze in the middle of the night, and heard Yue'e outside talking to someone, a little worried, so she got up with her clothes on, lit an oil lamp and walked outside, holding her chest tightly with one hand.
"Eldest sister, the second aunt hasn't slept yet, I kicked something just now, which scared the second aunt, I'm talking to the second aunt." Yue'e also shivered coldly.
"Oh." Sister Li Yue responded, walked outside the door, and looked at the east house, the window of the second uncle and aunt's room was already dark, so she pulled Li Yue'e into the room and asked, "The second aunt didn't scold you, right?" ”
"Nope." Li Yue'e said, as for the second aunt's debt collector, she didn't think she was scolding her, anyway, the second aunt spoke like that.
"Okay, go back to the house, leave her alone, you girl, get up and go to the toilet at night on a cold day, and you don't wear thick clothes." Sister Li Yue said, and said, "I'm talking, why don't you light an oil lamp when you come out this night?" It's still a kick, and if you fall, you'll have to suffer, and you don't care about saving that little bit of oil. ”
Sister Li Yue stretched out her hand and pointed at Yue'e's little head, this girl and Yuejiao are completely two personalities, Yuejiao is a strong flower if she has money, but this girl is a character who can save money, and would rather lose herself than spend a penny, which makes Sister Li Yue a little moved and helpless.
"Eldest sister, I wouldn't have kicked anything, I know the things at home well, but ......" Yue'e said, pausing again.
"But what?" Sister Li Yue carefully closed the door, and pulled Yue'e back to the room while asking.
On a cold day, the four sisters of the Li family slept on a kang.
"It's Sister Jin Feng, she was under the window of the second uncle and aunt just now, and she scared me, so I kicked something." Yue'e has some periods of Ai Ai's way.
"Jin Feng? What does her cat do at night under his parents' window? Sister Li Yue asked strangely.
"Ha, I must be listening to the corner, haha, Sister Jin Feng is thinking of spring, I must want to listen to the sound of the second uncle and aunt shaking the bed." While Yuejiao'er rolled over and sat up with the quilt, she said with a narrow face, and this girl also woke up.
"Stinky girl, faceless and skinless, she can say anything." Sister Li Yue pinched Yuejiao's face with some tears and laughter, this girl is very wild, and she goes to the heaps of aunts and daughters-in-law in the town all day long, and listens to some strange words.
"I didn't ...... No...... The second uncle and aunt didn't sleep, the two were talking. Yue'e was obviously frightened by Yuejiao's words, and stammered with a red face.
"Talk? Say what? Did you hear that? Yuejiao asked excitedly, this girl has a high interest in gossip.
"I didn't hear it clearly, but I heard the last few sentences, it seemed to be about the six taels of silver that the eldest sister won, and the second aunt said that when Daddy was sick, the eldest sister borrowed five taels of silver from them, and asked Grandma to let us pay it back tomorrow." Yuejiao said what she heard.
Sister Li Yue couldn't help frowning, there was such a thing, Daddy was seriously ill at that time, so she went to borrow money from Grandma, but at that time, Grandma didn't mention borrowing money, just asked her to take it to Daddy's doctor. And Sister Li Yue naturally thought that it was given by her grandmother.
Now it seems that it is really unclear whether the silver is lent or given.
"What's the matter, how can the second aunt be like this? Second Uncle and his family don't live on the bamboo strip workshop on the dock of Grandpa and Grandma, why can Grandpa and Grandma's money be used by the second uncle, and my father has to borrow it when he is sick? Yue Jiao'er's face was flushed, and she snorted angrily.
"Isn't that a separation?" Yue'e replied.
"What happened to the separation? If the family is separated, Daddy is not Grandma's son? We're not grandgranddaughters? Yue snorted coquettishly, and then said to her eldest sister: "Eldest sister, it's okay for the second aunt to call us back, and in the future, we will all go to eat grandma, we don't have a father or a mother, and it's natural to eat grandma." ”
"Don't worry about this, I have my own opinions. Go to sleep.. Sister Li Yue yawned, and then blew out the oil lamp.
"Eldest sister, did you hear what I said?" Yuejiao twisted her body and stopped doing it.
"Sleep!! Tap, don't wake Bo'er. Sister Li Yue glared at Yue Jiao'er, this girl has some ghost ideas, but there are some things that can't be done willfully.
It is said that of course it is okay for a few brothers and sisters to eat grandma, but grandma and grandpa and second uncle are not separated, and eating grandma is equivalent to eating the second uncle's family, and after that, the second uncle and the second aunt can confidently manage the affairs of their sisters and brothers, and at that time, their own six sisters and brothers will become a bargaining chip in the hands of the second uncle.
A-Niang once said that the second uncle is selfish and mean, Sister Li Yue still remembers her little aunt, the little aunt was also a flower in Liuwa Town, I heard A-Niang say that the grandfather originally planned to give the little aunt to him an apprentice, that is, now the bamboo strip master Xia Shuisheng of the Li family's bamboo strip workshop, and the little aunt and Xia Shuisheng also grew up together since childhood, the relationship is very deep, originally this marriage was a matter of course, but in the end, the second uncle in order to tie up the eldest brother of the second aunt, he insisted on giving the little aunt to the younger brother of the second aunt's sister-in-law, Jia Wulang.
In her previous life, when Sister Li Yue was locked up in the backyard of the Zhou family, she had listened to some sisters-in-law in the backyard gossip about some things in the Jia family, and later Jia Wulang stopped marrying another wife and took his little aunt back to the house.
It can be said that the little aunt's life was mistaken by the second uncle.
As for Grandma, although, through this feigned illness incident, Sister Li Yue knew that Grandma didn't really want to harm her, but Grandma herself is patriarchal, plus Grandma has always been partial to the second uncle, but whatever the second uncle wants to do, Grandma has nothing to dissupport, so she can't have too much hope for her because Grandma doesn't want to target herself, think about the little aunt is still like this, not to mention that they have no father or mother, and they are not too close to the juniors on weekdays.
This is one of them, and the second is that Sister Li Yue knows in her heart that in Enkori, taking advantage of the geographical opportunity, she will definitely be able to make a small profit, if they go to eat grandma before this, then when they make money, with the second aunt's open-minded temperament, she will definitely have to pry grandma, and at that time, at least half of the money she earns will be drawn, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.
Therefore, Xiao Yuejiao's idea, the final result is likely to be to take advantage of a small advantage and suffer a big loss. Sister Li Yue didn't want to work hard to the end, but let the second aunt take advantage of the benefits.
After making up her mind, Sister Li Yue fell asleep in a daze.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Fang asked Mrs. Li to say goodbye early in the morning, and then stayed in Mrs. Li's house.
"Say anything." Mrs. Li's knife-like eyes, how could she not see that the Fang family must have asked for something.
"Mother, let me say it first, I'm not trying to be greedy for other people's money." Fang Shi said first.
"Who said you were greedy for money? Whose money are you greedy? You're so early in the morning, you're blindfolded, and I'm confused, what do you want to do? Mrs. Li said impatiently.
"Okay, I said, mother, yesterday, my father gambled with Uncle Zhou, and the Zheng family also opened the market, Sister Yue took two taels of silver and bet on my father to win, and finally she won six taels of silver, and the town went crazy." Fang's Road.
"What are you doing, your idea of playing this silver, I tell you, I don't want to care about the affairs of Westinghouse, that big girl is very thoughtful, to prevent my old wife from being like a thief, I don't want to provoke this kind of discomfort, they can do whatever they like." As soon as she heard about Sister Li Yue, Mrs. Li became angry in her heart.
"Mother, listen to me, if you don't want to take care of the big girl's affairs, then don't care, the girl's family is going to marry after all, that is someone else's family, but you can't ignore Mo Yi Mofeng, they are the grandsons of the Li family, in the future, you have to be the master to marry their daughters-in-law, how can this be done without accumulating some silver? Which girl is willing to marry a poor and white? Look at the big girl, she just won the silver yesterday, she is making dumplings and buying fabrics, she doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty, in the future, you still expect them to save money to help Mo Yi Mofeng ask for a daughter-in-law, don't think about it, even if you have money, it will become a loss for marriage, so, I think, you have to be in charge of this matter, and when the big girl has money in her hand, you have to order it, help Mo Yi Mofeng save it, and give them two daughters-in-law in the future. ”
Fang's mouth was like a river, hiding her mind under the glossy hall, she didn't care what the reason for getting this silver, as long as she entered the East House, she would want to go out in the future.
When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt that there was some truth.
It's just that Westinghouse is in this situation, and there are still a lot of foreign debts, and it seems a little difficult to ask the big girl for silver.
Since the Fang family married into the Li family, she has already figured out Mrs. Li over the years, and said: "Mother, when the uncle fell ill, didn't the eldest girl borrow five taels of silver from you, let's ask for money with this oil head, Sister Li Yue has nothing to say, but she borrowed it at the beginning." ”
"Well, that's a good idea, okay, you go and call the big girl." Mrs. Li said.
