016 What about salt?
While talking, he walked directly behind Mrs. Lu into the gate, and everyone at the door thought that Hua Ronghua would not be able to wipe his face and finally buy a few oranges to share with everyone, but who knew that people would throw down such a sentence and go directly to the hospital!
Zhao Niangzi and Sun Niangzi looked at each other, very surprised how Hua Ronghua, who is always very generous on weekdays, changed his temperament today.
Jiang Lan didn't expect to have a good face, and the lady who always likes to smash people with money suddenly changed her strategy, and her neck was almost red in the face of the merchant's suspicious mocking eyes.
"Old lady, look at the lady!" Jiang Lan stomped her feet angrily and dragged Mrs. Lu to be an ally.
didn't take advantage of it, Mrs. Lu was naturally unhappy in her heart, but at this time, Hua Ronghua had already entered the house, and others couldn't scold, so she could only take Jiang Lan to vent her anger.
"What do you see? I see that you just want to keep my money secret, and you have so many words to buy a line, who knows what you say? Don't hurry up and let me in! Mrs. Lu glared at Jiang Lan with a pair of triangular eyes, scolding Sister-in-law Fang, who wanted to say something funny, and tried to shrink her neck.
Jiang Lan's eyes were filled with mist, and she bit her lower lip fiercely with her upper row of shell teeth, for fear that she would cry out loud and make people see the joke, so she hurriedly paid the money and hid back in the courtyard with the embroidery thread.
When the merchant saw that the person who wanted to buy oranges was gone, he didn't stay here, so he straightened out his burden and went to other alleys, shouting as he walked, "Needle thread, brain, rouge, gouache, hey......"
Several women outside the gate gathered together to look at the closed door of the Lu family and study.
"In a while, it must be Mrs. Lu's voice scolding her daughter-in-law, if you don't believe it, just listen."
"Maybe it's the little concubine and Lu Niangzi fighting! Last time, it was quite powerful. ”
The big guy guessed everything, but in the end, there was no sound except for Mrs. Lu's scolding for a while.
"Why is their family so quiet today?" Sun Niangzi grabbed a handful of melon seeds out of nowhere and slowly swallowed them.
Zhao Niangzi raised her feet to look at the eaves of the Lu family, and said: "It's okay for her to break the sky today, as long as she doesn't delay playing cards tomorrow." ”
Sun Niangzi echoed, "It's just that tomorrow I will call the landing lady to play cards!" ”
After looking around for a while, Mrs. Lu's scolding could not even be heard in the courtyard of the Lu family, and several women took their eyes and went back to their homes.
Hua Ronghua had just entered the house with his front foot, and before he could hide the silver in the money bag, Aunt He entered the house with his back foot.
"Lady!"
Listening to Aunt He's voice that turned a few corners and couldn't be wronged anymore, Hua Ronghua was startled, and then looked at her bitter face, looking like she was the most wronged in the whole world, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Lady, they are bullying me while you are not at home!" Aunt He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sobbed on her complaint.
After listening to Aunt He's aggrieved statement, Hua Ronghua blinked and asked her, "What's the matter?" Isn't that just for you to clean up the dishes? ”
"But, but they scolded me!" Aunt He wanted to say that these jobs should be done for Sister-in-law Fang, but suddenly remembered that the Hua family hired her to come to the Lu family to do housework, "And I do it according to the lady's orders on weekdays, but today they saw that the lady didn't take me out, and they must have thought that the lady didn't like me before they dared to bully the slave and maid like this." ”
Hua Ronghua was a little upset when she listened to Aunt He's chatter, and said that she hired you to work, so what grievances are there? If you are scolded, how can you be scolded by a dignified lady?
I only heard that Aunt He was still complaining there, "Today, the slave and maid have no leisure, and it doesn't count after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and let the slave and maid wash the clothes, not the slave and maid said, just the Jiang family took the small clothes to the slave and maid to wash, and I have never seen such a shameless person...... I'm so tired that I'm sick with back pain, and I'm afraid I can't turn over even if I sleep. ”
"If you hurt your back, go home and rest, you don't have to worry about these tasks." Hua Ronghua interrupted Aunt He, who still wanted to continue talking, and directly asked her to leave, "Let Sister-in-law Fang do these jobs, if she can't be busy, hire someone else." ”
When Aunt He heard this, she immediately stopped complaining, and she didn't complain about the back pain, hehe smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the slave has rough skin and thick meat, it will hurt a little." If there is nothing else, the slave maid will go to help the lady turn over the quilt first, and the sun will be just right! ”
said that without waiting for Hua Ronghua to speak, he went directly out of the house and ran away.
"Cut!" Hua Ronghua sneered coldly, stepped forward to close the door tightly and tied it again, then returned to the bed and poured out the silver in the money bag, and then found the money bag that he forgot to bring and divided the silver coins.
Hua Ronghua put all the silver and copper plates into the small money bag, thought about it and stuffed another five taels, and then put the rest of the whole silver and broken silver into the big money bag, wrapped it tightly with his clothes and stuffed it into the corner of the bottom suitcase; The small money bag was stuffed on the pillow, Hua Ronghua breathed a sigh of relief, although she was very tired, but she felt extra relieved, no wonder rich people like to put money all over the bed and then lie on it, lying on the money to sleep is really refreshing!
When I got to the bottom of the mattress, I pressed another pillow on it.
Xu was tired of walking, Hua Ronghua fell asleep in a daze, until she was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Lady, lady!" Listening to the voice, it was Jiang Lan's, she shouted, and her hand was still banging on the door hard, and soon, the entire Lu family was awakened.
"Knock what? There's no time to stop! Mrs. Lu was in the house to collect the soles of her shoes, and the sudden sound made her pierce the awl into her hand.
Jiang Lan was also very embarrassed, "Old lady, this old man is about to go to the office, I want to cook, but this lady hasn't given me the salt she bought!" ”
Mrs. Lu became angry when she heard this, moved a small quick step, took a few steps to Hua Ronghua's door, and began to slam the door, "You stinky woman who has suffered from the plague, what about the salt I asked you to buy?" Don't you send a good one? ”
Hua Ronghua in the house knocked her forehead hard, she only cared about renting and buying a house, why did she forget the excuse to go out?
"Open the door, you hurry up and open the door for the old lady!" The more Mrs. Lu scolded, the more angry she became.
Hua Ronghua suddenly lifted the quilt and opened the door, and said directly: "The money is lost!" ”
"What?" Mrs. Lu was stunned for a few seconds, then her eyes widened, and she was about to pounce down, "You are a loser......"
"Can't I compensate you?" Hua Ronghua's words successfully made Mrs. Lu freeze there, as if in slow motion.
Hua Ronghua continued: "You also know how much money you can buy for the five cents you give me, how about I buy you a pound back tomorrow?" ”
Hearing that someone had to pay for her losses, Mrs. Lu quickly extinguished the fire.
Jiang Lan asked a little unwillingly, "Then what should I do tonight?" ”
"What? No more salt? Then you can kneel in the courtyard and cry. I heard that tears are also salty, and it is estimated that the rest after evaporation can also be used as salt, so we can save buying them. Hua Ronghua glanced at her, and after speaking, he slammed the door.
