Chapter 54: What Do You Want?

Looking at the third aunt who was sitting on the ground, her cries kept coming from her ears, and Yi Yu finally figured out what this person was here for, didn't she hear that they had contracted hawthorn and rock sugar gourd to others and got a sum of money, and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of it.

The peasant women who were hired to make rock sugar gourds before were mostly Lu Shi who looked at their poor families and wanted to help, so they at least had a small income of five taels of silver every month, which was equivalent to the harvest of ten acres of land for ordinary farmers for five years in half a year. When the Lu family dismissed them, they each sealed ten taels of silver, which can be said to be benevolent and righteous, but they didn't think that there were really dissatisfied and greedy people who came to the door.

Five thousand taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, according to Yu Yu's estimate, there is such a large amount of money at least equivalent to the millionaire in the place where she crossed over, if their family's life half a month ago was only above the well-off, now it can be regarded as entering the middle class army, turning over the serf and singing. To put it bluntly, they are now outbursts, can they not attract the eyes of others?

"Woooooo It's unreasonable...... People who have no conscience... If it weren't for our help...... Can your family get rich so quickly...... I snuck around the silver... Woo woo woo ......" The third aunt listened to the chatter behind her, and cried harder and harder.

Regardless of the truth or falsity of her words, the townspeople who watched the excitement outside the door began to secretly point out the relics, and some of the bold ones would loudly reflect the three aunts.

The laziness of Yi Yu's early rise was long gone, and she heard Lu Shi ask a few words in the room across the hall, and she didn't look at the person on the ground, turned around and lifted the curtain and went back to the house.

Xiao Man followed her and entered the hall, and saw that Lu had already walked out of the east bedroom with his clothes on, and asked them suspiciously, "What's the matter, it's so noisy outside." ”

Without waiting for Yi Yu to speak, Xiao Man first chattered about what had just happened, and took advantage of this effort, Yu Yu went back to her room and poured a basin of cold water to wash her face, and changed her clothes, because she was not good at combing her hair, she only braided a long braid on her left shoulder in front of the bronze mirror.

Xiao Man followed Lu into her room, and when she saw her dress, she hurriedly stepped forward and took a yellow wood wrap on the dressing table and pinned it to her hair behind her ear, while helping her sort out her forehead hair, and muttered in a low voice: "Miss is really, even if you don't comb your hair, you don't even bring a hair ornament, and when you go out to show someone else, we should deliberately pretend to be poor." The corners of Yi Yu's eyes twitched, but if she didn't hear her words, the crying in the yard didn't stop at all, and now they all heard it clearly in the house.

Lu Shi frowned on the side and said, "You said where they got the news, they even know how much money we signed, she smeared us in vain, and I don't know how to spread it to us in the future." ”

Yi Yu got up and pulled Lu Shi to her dressing table, asked Xiao Man to help her comb her hair, and picked out the hairpins in the box on the side, "What do you care about those broken mouths, wait until you go out and call the street patrol to take them out, it's not worth it with that kind of person." As he spoke, he handed the silver finch openwork hairpin in his hand to Xiao Man.

"That's it, Mrs. cares what they do, I heard my aunt say that at that time, they were still desperate to follow us to do business, and the third aunt's family was much richer than ours, if it weren't for Mrs.'s good heart, which round would they follow to earn those silver."

Xiaoman's parents died early, and he lived with his uncle Qi Wu's family since he was a child, but Qi Wu broke his leg in an accident half a year ago, and the family suddenly lost his livelihood.

Xiaoman found the Lu family two months ago, saying that he wanted to sell himself to the Lu family as a maid, how could the Lu family agree, but the little girl cried and hugged the Lu family's thigh and said that she wanted to repay the aunt of her uncle's family for raising her, and she had to fulfill the Lu family.

Lu Shi listened to Xiaoman's words, his brows still did not disperse, and Yi Yu could only persuade her when she looked like this, "Mother, don't be angry, I went out to send them away, you put on and dress first, and then we will go to see the eldest sister." Liu Xiangxiang had remarried two months earlier as a widow to a four-year-old teacher in the town, four years older, who was a little pedantic, but he was very good to her.

***

When Yiyu came out, the third aunt was still making trouble in the courtyard, and two women were surrounding her to persuade her, she whimpered and said something, and when she squinted and saw Yiyu come out, her howl became louder again.

The two women who were still on the side to persuade the third aunt sighed when they saw Yi Yu come out, stood aside, and Yu Yu smiled at them, and then walked up to the third aunt and asked, "Third aunt, what are you going to do here?" ”

Her voice is not loud, but it is an authentic official dialect, as early as a year ago, when they started selling rock sugar gourds in Chang'an, their family changed their tone, Lu Shi could speak official dialect, and Yu Yu pretended to be more than half a month, so he changed his accent.

The third aunt listened to her question, howled a little quieter, and said intermittently, "Where... Where is what I want to do, your family got the money from everyone... He cut us off our money and didn't let us sell... Anyway, you're not kind..."

Most of the townspeople knew that the Lu family had made a small fortune this year because of their business, but today they were troubled by the third aunt and found out that they had won thousands of taels of silver, and no matter how many of them benefited from selling rock sugar gourds, there were many people who did not know why, many of them stood on the side of the third aunt, and a few of them were even louder to see the excitement:

"It's a good business, she said she wouldn't do it if she didn't let the family do it, it's too domineering, right?"

"Don't you know, the red claws that make rock sugar gourds are only available at her house, and the forest is firmly guarded, and even a bird can't fly in, and now people don't supply red claws, and naturally others can't sell them."

Yi Yu raised her eyebrows, glanced at the townspeople who were muttering quietly around her, fixed her eyes on the third aunt, and originally planned to directly call the street patrol to pull her away, but now she looks at it and wants to make it clear.

Thinking like this, she had a look of embarrassment on her face, and asked again: "Then you say, what should my Lu family do so that you don't make trouble?" ”

The third aunt had been in contact with the Lu family for a long time, and knew that Yu Yu could take the idea, and saw that she showed a look of embarrassment, so she was afraid that she would continue to make trouble, her eyes rolled, she wiped her face with her sleeve, and got up from the ground with a bone, and said confidently: "Unless you divide some of the silver - those of us who have sold things for your family will have at least one hundred taels of silver each!" ”

The third aunt is not a fool, she didn't patronize herself to ask for money, and she also knew that she would pull other people, this person was one hundred taels of silver, and there were more than 20 peasant women who had worked in the Lu family before and after, but they counted half of the five thousand taels of silver that the Lu family had just gotten.

"And what if I don't give it?" Yu Yu's voice was a little tentative.

"Don't give? If you don't give it, I will come to your door every day to make trouble, and tell everyone how your family is black-hearted, so that the whole town will know how your Lu family is hiding from us poor people. The third aunt pouted, and she was about to sit on the ground again, but Yu Yu didn't stop her, only swept her up and down all over her body, and then put away the gentle attitude just now, and sneered disdainfully.

"Don't you think you're talking nonsense and losing your big teeth, and you're still poorβ€”let me ask you, the gold nail on your ear is lacquer-colored, and the silver bracelet on your wrist is not waxy?"

When Yi Yu said this, everyone else looked at the third aunt, and saw that she did have gold nails the size of peanuts on her earlobes, and a silver bracelet was clearly worn on her wrist holding the ground.
