Chapter 9: The Female Household

The county lord obviously also thought of this problem, and looked at the Yang family and the Xiao family, and his face was disgusted that could not be concealed.

There is no one among the elders who do this.

The county lord looked at An Xiaoqi and asked, "An Xiaoqi, have you heard of female households?" ”

Alas, poor boy, if you can help, it will be a handful.

An Xiaoqi glanced at An Xiaojiu, An Xiaojiu gave An Xiaoqi a reassuring look, and then said to the county lord: "My lord, are you self-reliant?" ”

The county lord glanced at An Xiaojiu in surprise, originally he said this to An Xiaoqi, because he looked at An Xiaoqi being older than An Xiaojiu, but he didn't expect that it was actually this little one who understood better.

touched his beard and smiled gently, "That's right, just let your sister set up her own household, the head of the household is your sister, and your household registration can also be moved to your sister's household registration." It's just that in this case, you have to pay taxes and everything. ”

"We do." An Xiaojiu and An Xiaoqi said in unison.

The sound should be as crisp as it should be, as loud and loud as it should be.

Not to mention paying taxes, even if you give more money, as long as you can get rid of this family, An Xiaojiu is willing.

Otherwise, if you have to go back with this family, who knows what else will happen?

"I don't want to!" Xiao and Yang also said in unison.

In this case, wouldn't it be impossible to command these two girls in the future, and not be able to sell these two girls?

As soon as Yang wanted to say something, he was dragged by Uncle An, and Uncle An said in a low voice: "Mother, it's better to let the third sister-in-law talk about this matter, after all, they are their own mothers." ”

The Yang family is not stupid, and when he was reminded by Uncle An like this, he understood that it was over, and unconsciously took a step back and stood behind the Xiao family, as if silently supporting the Xiao family.

It is rare to unite with this old woman, Xiao Shi is full of confidence, and his voice is not small to the county master, "My lord, this is my daughter, why do you just want to stand up for yourself?" Since ancient times, where has a girl set up her own door? I'm not afraid to laugh off my big teeth. ”

Woman, I've never heard of this before.

The heads of any household are not all old men, even if the old men listen to their daughters-in-law, it is the daughter-in-law who is the master of the house, but the head of the household is also the name of the old man.

Is this the case from ancient times to the present?

The county lord was annoyed by Xiao's sentence "I'm not afraid of laughing off my big teeth", snorted coldly, and took out his official authority, "What, what do you mean, the court set up a female household, just idle and full?" ”

This sentence scared Xiao Shi into a thrill.

At the same time, it also cleared Xiao's mind, who was she talking to.

Looking at the county lord who was faintly angry, Xiao Shi involuntarily shrunk his neck, and his voice was much lower, "My lord, the folk woman didn't mean that, it's just ...... Just ......"

Xiao frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he really came up with a reason, "Even if this is a self-supporting female household, then her father and I are still alive and well, these two of us disagree, these two girls can stand on their own?" ”

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about An Xiaoqi, it's still very good to do work.

Xiao must have let it go if he didn't want to.

An Xiaojiu said lightly: "If you agree to the two of us to set up our own doors, we are also willing to support you and give you twenty copper plates every month, how about it?" ”

This is simple, what Xiao is trying to do is not just money.

As long as he can get rid of this shelf, An Xiaojiu doesn't care about losing a few dollars.

On the contrary, An Xiaoqi dragged An Xiaojiu, and whispered in embarrassment: "Xiao Jiu, is twenty copper plates too much this month, how much can we earn?" ”

In the village, the laborers who go to the port to carry a day's worth of goods are nothing more than copper plates.

Helping people wash their clothes, only five copper plates a day.

The two of them still have to live, and this month's twenty copper plates are a bit much.

Xiao's ears were tipped, and when he heard the painful pointing at An Xiaoqi, he accused: "Honor your parents, you have too many copper plates?" ”

"That is, if your father and mother are filial, your grandparents can ignore it?" Yang also interjected.

Being able to share the money, the Yang family has never missed it.

"I said, old lady, don't you have a son? Why do you still let your granddaughter retire? There was an aunt next to her who couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but help.

Yang glanced back and snorted, "What's your business?" ”

"Hey, you old lady......"

"Let's go, let's go, it's a mess at first glance, this kind of thing, it's better not to interfere, it's someone else's housework."

The person next to the eldest mother grabbed the eldest mother and walked out.

You can't meddle in such housework, and if you do, you'll get into a commotion, and the old lady will be a bad one to get along with.

The county lord clapped the board in annoyance and said: "Let An Xiaoqi and An Xiaojiu give you thirty copper plates every month, as for how you divide it, that's your business." ”

"How, would you like to?"

Xiao rolled his eyes, turned his head and muttered to Yang.

Raising these two girls, how much will waste food, although they can also work, but there is no shortage of labor at home, there is a shortage of money!

Although thirty copper plates a month is not much, it is also a lot, and you can buy more than a pound of fine grain!

After a while, Xiao Shi turned his head and wiped his tears and took An Xiaoqi's hand and muttered, "Mother is really reluctant to you, but you are ...... Alas, my son can't help my mother, since you can't get along with your mother, and you are willing to live by yourself, then live by yourself. ”

An Xiaoqi lowered his head and responded expressionlessly.

I went to call the village chief again to settle this matter.

An Xiaojiu and An Xiaoqi went to thank the county master: "Thank you, my lord, we will pay back this silver, but can you give it some time?" ”

The county lord, "I am also entrusted by others, and this silver will be returned when you have it." ”

"Thank you so much, thank you so much." An Xiaojiu sisters bowed differently and thanked them.

As for the entrusted person, An Xiaojiu probably knew who it was in his heart.

"By the way, there's one more thing," the county lord knocked on the table, and a middle-aged woman dressed in simple clothes and carrying a small bag came in, about thirty years old.

"This is also what the young master instructed me, let this Qing Niang help you."

An Xiaojiu's heart jumped.

Where is this looking for someone to help, it is obvious that the person is afraid that he will run away, so he found someone to watch him.

Is......

The heart of a villain!

However, thinking that the other party helped rescue his sister and himself, and asked the county master, An Xiaojiu's heart was only grateful.

An Xiaoqi had a question, but he also knew that this was not the time to speak.

When the two sisters and a sunny lady went out, they saw the village chief waiting for them......
