Chapter 111: Contradictions
"Mother, he's gone." Standing at the side door for a long time, Liu Man'er said this sentence, but with this sentence, her tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
"Don't cry, silly boy, he'll come back in the distance." Fang's arm hugged Liu Man'er.
Liu Man'er was already crying.
"The boy is ambitious in all directions, how can we stop it, in fact, the mother's heart is also very reluctant." Fang sighed, as Ye Yuan's mother-in-law, how could she be willing to let her children go to the battlefield, she was not the mother of Yue Fei who was loyal to the country.
The sky gradually brightened, and a hint of fish belly white appeared in the east, then it became golden, and then the sun finally showed half of its face.
Fang let go of Liu Man'er and said, "You got up so early today, you must be sleepy, go back and sleep for a while." ”
"I'm not sleepy." Liu Man'er shook her head, but still turned around and walked into the house.
She really didn't feel a little sleepy, and without Ye Yuan, the room felt a little deserted, and she couldn't sleep at all.
For a few days, Liu Man'er was a little absent-minded, either taking Ye Tianchen with her, or holding the little monkey in a daze.
Fang Shi shook his head when he saw it, and persuaded him, "Man'er, how can you go on like this, you have to take good care of yourself, don't be in a daze all day long, find something to do." ”
Liu Man'er naturally knew, but she just didn't want to do anything, she now felt that she had been possessed by a lazy god, and she was listless all day.
She didn't even have time to take care of her own chickens and ducks, and a few of her chickens and ducks died.
The main thing is that the newly raised chickens and ducks are gradually getting bigger, and the density of the chickens and ducks living in this group is a little larger, Liu Man'er looked at these and felt that this was not the way, so she discussed with Fang's family: "Mother, should we take some chickens and ducks to sell?" ”
"That's right, but we can't consume that much in this town." Fang said.
At present, the Ye family is only cooperating with the restaurant of the shopkeeper Tao, after all, it is a small place, and there are indeed not many things needed.
Liu Man'er thought about it, and said, "Why don't I find a seller in my county." ”
"You're going to the county seat? How's that going to work? Your girl's family. The Fang clan didn't want Liu Man'er to show up, so Liu Man'er said, "Then I'll go with Ye Qing and then put on a veil, so there's no problem, right?" ”
"Mother, you have to think clearly, these chickens and ducks are all money, what a pity that they are all crowded at home and died." Liu Man'er said: "I'll go to the county and find a restaurant to cooperate, and then our chickens and ducks will have a place to sell, so it's better to exchange some money." ”
"Okay then." To put it mildly, the Fang clan finally agreed.
So, on this day, Liu Man'er followed Ye Qing to the county seat with a borrowed ox cart, and they brought a few chickens and ducks as samples, but after turning around, most of these restaurants already have special supply people, and they don't need Liu Man'er's family.
Some people need it, but they deliberately keep the price very low, and even some people see that Liu Man'er and Ye Qing are countrymen, and they want to buy it but maliciously push the price low.
Ye Qing advocated selling it, but Liu Man'er was unwilling, and the chickens she worked so hard to raise were sold at a price that was half lower than that on the market, so how could it be done.
Hearing Liu Man'er say that she refused to sell, Ye Qing was obviously very unhappy, and she was a little weak when driving the ox cart, but she refused to go slowly.
Liu Man'er felt very aggrieved when she saw Ye Qing's passive and slacking appearance like this, and her tears were already rolling in her eyes, but she was holding back again.
This little uncle didn't deal with her well before, and he was not his husband Ye Yuan, so it was impossible for him to be accommodating to her in everything.
I didn't think it before, but now sitting on the ox cart, Liu Man'er realized that Ye Yuan was there before, and she had become much weaker, and unconsciously, she was no longer the tough female man who was not afraid of anything.
Now Ye Yuan is not at home, she is the eldest sister-in-law, she must be strong and tough.
After a day, the chicken was also a little embarrassed, and when he came to the last restaurant, Liu Man'er said that the guy in the back kitchen was willing to notify the shopkeeper to take a look.
The shopkeeper looked at a few chickens and ducks on the ox cart of Dao Liu Man'er, glanced at them, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Hello shopkeeper, it's like this, my family is in the breeding business, I have some chickens and ducks, I want to cooperate with your restaurant, I don't know if you need it?" Liu Man'er said with a smile.
"Need is need, it's just ......," the shopkeeper raised his head and said arrogantly, "How do you sell these chickens and ducks?" How much money a pound? ”
"Five cents a pound." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand.
"Penny is so expensive?" The shopkeeper walked over, looked at Liu Man'er's chicken, and used a long cigarette stick to pluck Liu Man'er's duck, this chicken and duck have also been running around for a day, and they are a little embarrassed at the moment.
"We can get cheaper if you want it." Ye Qing hurriedly said on the side.
"How much cheaper?" The shopkeeper asked slowly.
"Four pennies a pound." Ye Qing quoted a number, which was the reserve price that Liu Man'er discussed with him on the road.
"Four pennies? Heh......" the shopkeeper smiled contemptuously, "even your chicken is worth five cents?" I see that your chickens and ducks are all plagued chickens and ducks, and if you sell them, I will buy them for you for two pennies a pound. ”
"Two pennies? Oh, when we buy chicks, it's not at this price. Liu Man'er said a little unhappily, "And my chicken and duck only became like this because he came all the way to the city with us today, if you don't want to buy it, why do you want to slander like this!" ”
"Sister-in-law!" Hearing that Liu Man'er seemed to be a little angry, Ye Qing raised her voice and called her, and then said to the shopkeeper in a good voice: "Look, shopkeeper, there is really nothing wrong with our chickens and ducks, why don't you add some money and buy it for three dollars?" ”
"Sanwen, how much do you have left?" The shopkeeper asked.
"That's all." Liu Man'er replied on the side.
"It's worth bringing you to the city to sell?" The shopkeeper smiled contemptuously, "I've been to weigh it, and I bought it." ”
"Sister-in-law......" After taking the money out, Ye Qing said to Liu Man'er a little unhappy, "Although the price of three cents is a little low, it is better than not being able to sell it?" These roosters don't lay eggs, and raising them at home is a waste of food, so it's better to sell them. ”
"I worked so hard to raise it, and the price is too low." Liu Man'er explained to him lively.
"That sister-in-law, you also saw it just now, the price is too high and others refuse to accept it, anyway, I can say okay, either you sell the chickens and ducks at home to this person, or you will find your own way when the time comes!"
Ye Qing said very unhappily.
"Is this the tone you speak to your sister-in-law?!" Liu Man'er was also angry, she said: "I didn't do this for our family, the price is too low, we can make money by selling it!" ”
"Don't say it's for our family, just our family is now except for me, the third brother, the fourth sister, and the mother, the others are all members of your Liu family, to put it mildly, we are now half divided, if we all listen to you, this Ye family will become your Liu family!"
Ye Qing said angrily.
Liu Man'er was even more angry, she never thought that Ye Qing would think like this, so she also retorted:
"Heh, that's what you're talking about, right? I brought my younger siblings to live in the Ye family, but did my younger siblings eat your food? Everything I eat and live now is earned by me and my husband, and so do I live, but I didn't eat your Ye Qing, even if I want to say it, my mother said it, it's not your turn to intervene! ”
"It's not my turn, so I don't care now, these chickens and ducks are also raised by you, and they have nothing to do with me, I still go to work in the town, it's okay!" Ye Qing glanced at Liu Man'er with a provocative look.
"Don't tell me this, I can't control you, you have to say, you tell your mother, your eldest brother asked you to take care of the whole family before he left, and now you want me to carry it alone, right?"
Liu Man'er curled the corners of her lips and sneered.
"I'm not like this, but you're not very capable, so you can work hard." Ye Qing shrugged, waved his whip, and drove the ox cart back.
Maybe it's because of the conflict with Liu Man'er, he walked fast with a whip all the way, this road was not easy to walk, Liu Man'er felt that his ass was going to be turned upside down by him, and he was angry to death, this damn Ye Qing was really too bastard.
When they got home, both of them were a little angry, Ye Qing went to Tiezhu's house to return the ox cart, leaving Liu Man'er alone to come back first, Fang saw Liu Man'er's angry look, so he asked with concern: "Man'er, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Liu Man'er shook her head and squeezed out a smile.
Not wanting to explain too much to the Fang family, Liu Man'er returned upstairs alone, but couldn't help crying.
In the evening, Fulu asked her to go downstairs to eat, Liu Man'er's eyes were still a little red and swollen, and Fang asked again, "What's wrong, Man'er?" ”
"Nothing." Liu Man'er shook her head, family and everything is prosperous, a trivial matter, I don't want the Fang clan to worry.
"Qing'er, tell me, you went out with your sister-in-law, what happened?" Seeing that Liu Man'er didn't speak, Fang Shi looked up at Ye Qing again.
"It's fine." Ye Qing also shook his head, and said angrily, "My sister-in-law can do it, what can she do." ”
"Hehe, no matter how much I can, I can't do without you, the things in my own family haven't been sorted out yet, and I want to go to someone else's restaurant to do things." Liu Man'er couldn't help but sarcastically.
"I'm just going, isn't it up to you to decide in this house? Then I might as well go to the restaurant. After Ye Qing heard Liu Man'er's words, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Fang's family, "Mother, I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow, in this family, you can take care of your own body, be careful, don't let the Ye family change their surname to Liu." ”
"You are afraid that the Ye family will change their surname to Liu, then you will be in the town at home by yourself, you don't have the courage to do anything here!" Liu Man'er became more and more angry, and she also smashed the chopsticks hard, but she stabbed at a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth!
"Disgusting!" Ye Qing saw that Liu Man'er was ugly, and felt that he didn't want to be in the company of this kind of person, so he really stood up and left.
"Qing'er!" Seeing something like this happening at the dinner table, Fang stood up, and then sat down helplessly, she sighed and said, "What is this?" ”
"It's all my fault." Liu Man'er apologized to the Fang family, and told the Fang family everything that happened in the county today...... Maybe I didn't discuss it with him and just told the shopkeeper, but how excessive his words were, I didn't add any fuel to it. ”
"You're right, it's Qing'er's fault." Fang Shi comforted Liu Man'er and said, "He is still a child, don't worry about him." ”
"Then I'm still a fool, and they're going to come and deal with me!" Liu Man'er said, she also smiled, looking at the frightened children around her, she raised her chopsticks: "Okay, eat, eat." ”
