Fang Shi looked at Ye Qing's back as he left in a daze, and the atmosphere in the room was a little scary for a while.

Liu Man'er covered her hands, she didn't know why she suddenly slapped Ye Qing, although she didn't regret it now, she also felt that she did something wrong.

The Fang clan was still here, it was not her turn to teach Ye Qing a lesson, not to mention, Ye Qing was not younger than her.

"I'm sorry." Liu Man'er took a deep breath, walked in front of the Fang clan, and said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have beaten him, I originally wanted him to come back and accompany you well, but I don't know how to become like this." ”

Fang didn't speak, but waved his hand helplessly.

Liu Man'er didn't say much, just walked out silently, many things were not under her control, she also wanted the family to be good, but she obviously didn't have this ability.

So be it, as long as you don't have a good conscience.

After returning to her room, Liu Man'er also felt a little uncomfortable lying on the bed, these days, her health is not very good, all the way to the hard work, only makes her dizzy, want to vomit, and when she gets home, she is busy dealing with all kinds of things.

She felt that if she continued like this, she would definitely get sick too.

I was a little tired, so I just didn't want to care about anything, I just wanted to lie in bed and sleep for a while.

As soon as she lay down, Han Fang came over and knocked on the door, saying that she was sending a watermelon to be cut and two pieces to be sent to her to eat, she said that she had no appetite and asked her to eat it herself.

As a woman with a husband away from home, and the eldest sister-in-law in the family, her mother-in-law is seriously ill, and there is no one she can rely on in the family, but everyone around her has to rely on her.

Taking care of her mother-in-law, uniting her uncle and sister-in-law, raising children, maintaining the family, everything, she has to find a way.

She is actually a lazy person, a lazy person who is at ease with what happens, and she doesn't want to make herself too tired, so she hired a servant at home and asked her second brother to come over to help.

But Rao is like this, she still feels a little tired, this tiredness seems to emanate from her bones, tired to the point that her bones are soft, so that she has no pillars in her body, she just wants to collapse on the bed like this, lying quietly.

However, it didn't take long for him to get up, go to make wine, visit the Fang family, and take care of Ye Tianchen.

Originally, she was going to go to the county seat these days, thinking that Ye Qing would come back to take care of the Fang family for two days, but now it was impossible for Ye Qing to come back to take care of the Fang family, and she was also a little worried about leaving the Fang family alone at home, so she could only trouble Ye Feng to stay at home for a few more days.

Although he is just a teenager, after all, he is a member of the Ye family and a showman, if something happens, he should be able to deal with it, and with him at home, Liu Man'er is more relieved.

The Fang clan has always been a person who does not hold grudges, and said hello to the Fang clan, saying that she was going to the county seat tomorrow, and the Fang clan did not say anything, just told her to be careful on the road.

The next day, she went to the county seat alone, and this time she went to the county seat mainly to buy some tonic medicines such as ejiao and bird's nest for the Fang family, and then to calculate the accounts for these two months, and finally ask about the Yan family.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the business in these two months is naturally not as good as before, and the expenses of two months are only fifty taels of silver, which is still because most of the chickens and ducks are Liu Man'er's own reasons, otherwise it will be worse, but compared to other stores, it is also very good.

gave Liu Yunsheng and the three girls in the shop a bonus, and she went to the street to buy things with the money, in addition to buying things that had been calculated in the morning, she also wanted to buy some gifts to see Steward Wu and Wu's sister-in-law.

asked people to send some things to the snack shop, and she walked to Steward Wu's house with gifts, as a subordinate of the Yan family, in order to facilitate work, his home was in the back alley of the Yan family.

When passing by the courtyard wall of the Yan family, Liu Man'er was inexplicably a little sad, the pair of stone lions at the door of Yan's house were still as majestic as ever, but with the vermilion gate and the white seal pasted at the door, they inexplicably felt a little lonely.

The rise and fall of glory and disgrace, the change of day and night, this speed, so that Liu Man'er has not yet reacted. The white walls and green tiles are still the same, thinking about the New Year's Festival, they are still watching the play together in the pear orchard, but unfortunately in the blink of an eye, it is already a thing or a person, how can people accept it.

Slowly pacing through the courtyard wall, and passing through a narrow alley, Liu Man'er stopped at a house, the brown courtyard gate, it looked a little old, Liu Man'er stretched out his hand, knocked up gently, and soon there was a sound of footsteps.

"Who, here, here." The woman came over to open the door as she spoke, and when she saw that it was Liu Man'er, she was stunned and said, "Ah, Sister Liu, you are here, this is really a rare guest." ”

This sister-in-law Wu has a good relationship with Liu Man'er, and naturally she also knows Liu Man'er's maiden name, she has always liked to call Liu Man'er like this, compared to the somewhat cold title of Ye Shopkeeper, she always seems more intimate.

"Sister-in-law Wu must know that I went to another place some time ago, no, as soon as I come back, I will come to see my sister-in-law, you and Brother Wu." Liu Man'er said and raised the gift in her hand, and Sister-in-law Wu saw it and said, "Come on, what are you doing with the gift, it's really too polite." ”

"Etiquette is light and affectionate, sister-in-law don't be surprised." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, and followed Sister-in-law Wu to her house.

With the gift to open the way, the smile on Sister-in-law Wu's face was obviously a little more enthusiastic, and she led Liu Man'er forward: "Don't see outside, it's all so familiar, just come directly next time, if you really don't want to go, just bring me two roast ducks from your store." ”

Liu Man'er smiled and said, "Okay, I'll write it down." ”

The two entered the house as they spoke, and Sister-in-law Wu took the gift from Liu Man'er's hand, put it on the top of the cabinet at the entrance, asked Liu Man'er to sit down, and while making tea for her, she said: "It just so happens that your brother Wu is at home today, but at this time he is taking a nap, so I'll call him." ”

"Hey, don't be busy, Brother Wu will let him sleep when he takes a nap, let's talk about it, anyway, I don't have anything to do today, just rush home before dark." Liu Man'er hurriedly said.

But Wu's sister-in-law still went to call Steward Wu, she motioned for Liu Man'er to sit down steadily, opened the curtain and entered the inner room, Liu Man'er heard her shouting a few words from Steward Wu inside, only to wake up Steward Wu.

There was a quarrel in the house, obviously Steward Wu was disturbed and felt very unhappy, so he scolded Wu's sister-in-law a few words, but when he heard that it was Liu Man'er who was visiting, he muttered again, saying that he would change his clothes.

The curtain was opened, Sister-in-law Wu walked out, looked at Liu Man'er, her face was a little embarrassed, sat down and filled Liu Man'er with tea, and then said:

"Sister, you should know that a lot of things have happened in this county recently, especially the Yan family, which was raided by the imperial court, you know what your brother Wu does, now that the Yan family is gone, he didn't find any good owners for a while, and he is temporarily nesting at home, so this temper is a little big, and now he is like a child, and he is angry to get up."

The movement in the room just now was really a little big, and Sister-in-law Wu was afraid that Liu Man'er would misunderstand, so she explained two more sentences.

"You pickled woman, what are you talking nonsense here!" As soon as Wu's sister-in-law's words fell, Steward Wu came out in his clothes.

Liu Man'er turned her head and saw Steward Wu, she was also surprised, Steward Wu in the past was wide-hearted and fat, and every time she saw him, she cleaned himself up properly, full of style and spirit.

But this time, when I saw Steward Wu again, the buttons of his clothes had not been buttoned properly, his beard was unkempt, and his shoes were pulled, and the whole person felt a little grizzled.

"Yo, Shopkeeper Ye is here." Seeing Liu Man'er, Steward Wu bowed his hand to her, but this style made Liu Man'er feel very unaccustomed, as if with mockery.

"Brother Wu, don't make fun of me." Liu Man'er waved her hand, signaling that Steward Wu didn't have to be like this, and then pulled out the stool and asked him to sit down, and then said tentatively: "Brother Wu, how are you doing lately?" ”

"Don't say it, I'm a lost dog now." Steward Wu was not pretending, but his words were full of loss, he waved his hand and said, "Now you are still coming to see me." ”

Liu Man'er comforted: "Why do you say that, Brother Wu, your ability is here, even if you are temporarily unemployed at home, it is not something that others can underestimate." ”

Steward Wu listened to it, but his face was bitter, and he said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, in the past, when I walked on the street, others called me Wu Ye or Wu Steward, but now, not only does no one pay attention to me, but even have to snort and spit in front of me, and I don't even want to go out of the house now." ”

"Brother Wu doesn't have to mind, these villains who tend to be inflammatory, what are you doing with them, if they all think like you, then I don't dare to come to this county." Liu Man'er made fun of herself.

It's true, the world always has to be harsh on women, women always have to bear more pressure when they come out to show up, but Liu Man'er can be regarded as surviving, and now the shop is handed over to Liu Yunsheng to take care of, but no one says.

Liu Man'er can also understand Steward Wu's mood, in the past, Steward Wu worked in the Yan family, although he was just a subordinate, but he was also respected in this county, thinking about that time, when he walked to the street, those small vendors, who was not respectful to him? But now, those who flattered him wanted to humiliate him in front of him, how could this not be embarrassing?

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for her, as the saying goes: Relying on the mountains will fall, relying on everyone will run, only by relying on yourself can it be considered good.

But she forgot these things before, just because it was too difficult to gain a foothold in this ancient world, so she wanted to make friends with the big guys, and now her big guys fell, and her restaurant was gone, of course, compared to her, Steward Wu's situation was even worse.

"Shopkeeper Ye is really comforting." Steward Wu knew the difficulties of Liu Man'er opening a shop at the beginning, and thinking of the various misunderstandings and cold eyes she had suffered in the past, he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

"Okay, just want to open a little, these people don't need to pay attention to it at all, when you are developed, they will have to beg you at that time," Liu Man'er took a sip of tea, tea is the most ordinary coarse tea, compared with the tea drunk by Wu's steward in the past, there are indeed some differences.

"Shopkeeper Ye is here today, I'm afraid it's not just to come to see me, right?" Steward Wu looked at Liu Man'er, but he already knew her intention in his heart.

Putting down the teacup, Liu Man'er didn't go around the bend with him, and said bluntly: "I like to go straight, this time in addition to visiting Brother Wu, but also for the Yan family's affairs, I have heard of the Yan family's affairs, but for the specific reason, you have to talk to me Brother Wu." ”
