Lu Caiqing pondered for a while, wondering how he could know the wages of those two, no matter how he knew, listen to what her intentions were.

"Aunt Li! Since you know, let's talk about why Zhao Dabao and Sun Jiachang gave one or two pieces of silver. When people were in the city as a caretaker and nursing home, the owner of the family gave them two taels a month, and when they came to me, they wanted to be close to home, so they came to work with me, and they agreed to ask for one or two taels of silver. Lu Caiqing explained.

"Then there is no precedent for us in the countryside to give one person a tael of silver, since there is a precedent, then we have to give us as much as we want?" Aunt Li sat on the edge of the kang and cushioned her Erlang leg and said.

"Mother! Let's not talk about it, okay? Brother Li knew that he and his daughter-in-law were not as good as others, and his mother was still messing around here, and his face was getting worse and worse.

"Shut up! Here I am the head of our Li family, with me there is no point for you to speak, you are living a good life with this woman now, you don't have to worry about food or clothing, why don't you want to think about your poor father and brother. Aunt Li scolded Brother Li and had nothing to say.

Lu Caiqing couldn't look at it, and continued: "Aunt Li! That's not right, they cook for you early in the morning, cook and clean up the dirty work in and out of the yard, and they also come out to work during the day, and the four hundred dollars they earn are not handed over in full every month, and you still talk about them like this, I can't bear it as an outsider. ”

"Cai Qing! What you said I seem to have abused them, he is the flesh that fell from my body, without me, how would he marry a daughter-in-law, how would he have a child, if he didn't have me, he would still be a single person, now I forgot it! O iniquity! This is still my son who worked hard and saved money to marry his wife and have children! He is now married to a daughter-in-law and forgotten his mother, not a descendant of my Li family, if it weren't for my family's Qingbao, I think we would have starved to death! ”

Aunt Li said that she was crying and wiping away her tears, and she didn't forget to praise her second son after counting.

Sister-in-law Li saw her mother-in-law crying sadly, so she quickly brought a clean handkerchief and handed it over, Aunt Li raised her eyes and looked at it, she couldn't look down on her from the beginning, and now she was even more bored with her when she was crying poor, and pulled the clean handkerchief in Sister-in-law Li's hand aside with a shake of her hand.

Mrs. Li said disgustedly: "Take it!" Don't always be courteous in front of others, if it weren't for you, our family wouldn't know how to be harmonious now? It's because I married you, the broom star of the loser, that our boss doesn't listen to me so much. ”

"Mother! I didn't! I have never instigated Qingyuan not to honor you and not listen to you. Sister-in-law Li's aggrieved eyes retorted with tears.

"Look! Look! This is going to be exciting! Not so when no one is around. Aunt Li said contemptuously to everyone.

The more Sister-in-law Li explained, the more wrong she became, so she simply stopped talking and turned around and hid behind Li Qingyuan, seeking him to help her say two good words.

"Mother! Don't talk about her, we gave you all the money we earned, we never bought new clothes all year round, you look at my brother's family, I know that I didn't do well enough, I always make you angry, but you can't always take Li Shuang out of anger if you are eccentric. Brother Li really couldn't stand his mother bullying his daughter-in-law in front of everyone, so he finally said a fair word for her.

Sister-in-law Li estimated that it was the first time she saw Li Qingyuan disobeying his mother in person, and when she looked at her husband, her tears flowed even more unscrupulously.

Aunt Li was still stunned for a moment, and after looking back, she didn't care if there was anyone or not, she patted her thigh and howled: "Oops! It's amazing! My hard-working, October-pregnant son, today for a lowly woman to disobey me, what did my Li family do, marry you as a broom star as a daughter-in-law, how should I live in the future! ”

A handful of snot and tears sat on the edge of the kang, and the whole room saw her playing treasure. Li Qingbao pretended to persuade there: "Mother! Don't be sad, what about my eldest brother's unfilial piety? ”

"You stay by the side, it's none of your business!" The old lady said as she cried.

As soon as Li Qingyuan saw his mother coming here again, he was a little breathless, even if his mother was not good to him, after all, she was also his own mother, and his heart was soft and he knelt in front of the old lady: "Mother!" It's me who made you angry again, don't cry, how can it be good to cry your eyes when you're old? ”

The old lady peeked at it, she knew that her son had a temperament, and he couldn't cry when he was soft-hearted.

"Get up! A big man kneels at every turn, what is it like, I didn't let you kneel, as long as you listen to your mother's words well, don't listen to the instigation of that daughter-in-law, our family will have peaceful days in the future. ”

Aunt Li said this, which made Li Shuang's heart even colder, she already knew in her heart that his mother forced her like this to find a more famous and rich daughter-in-law, thinking that she was an ignorant woman, and even instigated Li Qingyuan to separate from their Li family.

The more I think about it, the more chilled I feel, she can't blame her husband, this man is stupid, but it is himself and the poor Duo'er who suffer.

Lu Caiqing saw that they staged a good show of bitter love for mother and son, to put it simply, Sister-in-law Li is a broom star, and she is not one of them in their Li family at all, just now Brother Li was still a little manly, talking to his woman, but seeing this, I really wanted to step forward and slap him a few times to wake up this foolish man.

But I am not qualified, this is originally a family matter, and besides, this old lady Li makes such a fuss, she must be holding her son's temperament, pinching one accurate, in this closed countryside, a woman's status is low-level, no wonder Brother Li doesn't speak for his daughter-in-law, only the daughter-in-law can be regarded as living out on the day she becomes a mother-in-law, it's really sad.

When Mrs. Li saw that she had coaxed her son, she didn't care what state Sister-in-law Li was, and turned her face and asked, "Cai Qing!" Makes you laugh! Let's still talk about the topic just now, you see that this Qingyuan and his family are tired and tired, should they get the same remuneration as those two people, in this case, I will continue to let them work honestly in you. ”

Lu Caiqing was angry in her heart, this old lady just wanted to raise the price to squeeze their husband and wife, saying that it sounded good to give them a head, but in fact, the old lady was red when she saw that Lu Caiqing's family sold the money yesterday and wanted more.

Lu Caiqing really wanted to be ruthless, no longer let Brother Li's family do it here, and let the old lady's bamboo basket be empty, but looking at the isolated and helpless sister-in-law Li, she still felt sorry for her, so she said: "Aunt Li! As I said just now, people are close to home, and what they earn is also risky. If someone unscrupulous comes to steal, it will be a danger to personal safety, and it is much more dangerous than ordinary work. ”

"That'...... That can't be that much worse? One person is one or two, and the eldest of our family is two hundred Wen, this is a world of difference, don't be stupid for the two of them, deliberately squeeze them by relying on favors, they are stupid, I am not easy to coax as a mother. Aunt Li said unreasonably to Lu Caiqing.

"How can it? Coax no one to coax you, since you said it, then I can't always rely on human favors to do nothing, right? Aunt Li? ”

"You kid is sensible, I don't want more, five hundred wen per person! That's my bottom line! When Aunt Li heard Lu Caiqing take the words, she hurriedly struck the price while the iron was hot.

"Then we all made it clear just now, then I will also say that 500 yuan for one person is OK, which is more than double the salary of our here, which is easy to say."

When Brother Li heard this, he said embarrassedly: "Cai Qing!" Don't listen to my mother, we didn't mean that. ”

"Shut up! Am I asking for my own salary? I'm asking you for benefits, didn't you just say that you haven't bought clothes for a year, or you will have it. Aunt Li hurriedly stopped her stupid son's words, and Lu Caiqing regretted it at this time.

"Brother Li! Don't talk, I'll talk to Aunt Li. ”

"That's right! Picking green is refreshing, so let's talk about it. Aunt Li hurriedly took over the conversation and said.

"Aunt Li! Just now, we can say that regardless of friendship, then five hundred wen per person, but these five hundred wen is not so easy to take, Zhao Dabao and Sun Baocheng are one or two people who have to take risks, this fish belongs to them, and they have to compensate for losing it, I can also tell you that Aunt Liu's Shuangzhu brother also came to work for a long time, and it was also one or two, but he was a favor, and everyone in the village knew that his mother was my benefactor, and I was willing to give as much as I wanted. ”

Aunt Li listened, her eyes lit up, she didn't say anything, her eyes were purring, and she continued to listen to Lu Caiqing.

"When I was looking for Brother Li, it was purely a chicken and duck, by the way, looking at the lotus pond, light and labor-saving, now you say don't take advantage of the love and squeeze, then we won't mention it, I have five hundred Wen per person per month, but you also know that this chicken and duck are at risk, we didn't count before if one died or lost one, now we will settle the accounts with our brothers, and compensate according to the price, I also know that the wages of Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li belong to your old man, and when they die and lose them, I will go to trouble your old man." Lu Caiqing said unhurriedly, scaring Mrs. Li so much that her palms were sweaty.

He silently estimated in his heart, he handed over his fixed income of four hundred wen a month to his own hands, if it was five hundred a month, the two of them would be one or two, but the little girl shrewdly wanted to take responsibility for the two tigers in her family, but she knew that this chicken and duck were very expensive, and she had raised them and would die for no reason, and if she wanted to let the weasel take it away, it would be counted on her own head, this chicken was estimated to be about fifty yuan, and her family would lose hundreds of thousands as long as she lost a few, I am afraid that the money earned is not enough to lose.

With a roll of his eyes, he said with a smiling face: "Cai Qing!" You look at our folks, your chickens and ducks are flocks, which one in our village doesn't know, if this is the loss of one or two, it's nothing, our small family and small business are different, I'm afraid I can't afford to lose, it's better to calculate according to the original agreement. ”

"Then according to Aunt Li's meaning, do you not want to pay compensation, or do you want to take care of your friendship and hand over your fixed salary?" Lu Caiqing asked with a smile.
