Chapter 232: The Best Concubine
Chapter 232: The Best Concubine
It's been a few months since I last saw this sister-in-law, Ah He is married far away, and it is not easy to come back, and at the same time, she and her man opened a noodle shop to do business.
So when she saw Ah He, Li Xin was only surprised for a moment, and hurriedly let her into the house.
Ah Ho came back alone, and her head of the house did not come back with her, but she brought back her two twin daughters.
The eldest girl and the second girl looked as timid as last time, and after calling Li Xin "auntie" in a coquettish voice, she hid behind Ah He.
Ah He only carried a burden when he came, and looking at the three of them, the mother and daughter didn't look very dusty, but Ah He's face was obviously a little haggard.
Seeing Li Xin, Ah He didn't say much, followed Li Xin into the house, and Ah Mei fetched hot water to let her third sister mother and daughter wash their faces.
Li Xin said: "Ah Mei go and see what there is to eat in the stove, and give your third sister a hot one." ”
"Whoa."
Ah Mei agreed to go, Lao Guan touched the root of his leg and came in, and when he saw Ah He, he was stunned for a moment and smiled: "San'er is back?" ”
Ah He's eyes turned red and he reluctantly called grandpa.
Lao Guan sat on the bench at the base of the wall, rubbed his legs and asked: "Why is San'er back, look at the handsome appearance of the eldest girl and the second girl, quickly call the great-grandfather ......" After teasing the two female babies, he asked Ahe: "What about the person in charge of your house?" ”
Ah He replied sullenly and said, "He has something." ”
Lao Guan only laughed, didn't ask, and beckoned the eldest girl and the second girl and said, "Let's go, go play with grandpa, do you remember the little brother?" How about playing with your little brother? ”
Lao Guan took the eldest girl and the second girl to play, Ah He did not object, the eldest girl and the second girl looked at her mother and obediently took the old girl's hand left and right and went out.
"Okay, now what's going on, right?"
Li Xin took Ah He's hand, and Ah Mei also entered the hall after working in the stove. He sat next to her, looking at her with concerned eyes.
Ah He sniffed, sobbed and said, "Sister-in-law, my father-in-law and that brother and sister are too much......
As he spoke, he began to cry quietly.
Li Xin thought about it a little and knew the general truth of the matter.
Seeing Ah He crying, Li Xin could only hand her a handkerchief, and Ah Mei hugged Ah He's shoulders on the side.
After crying for a while, Ah He raised his face embarrassedly and said, "Sister-in-law, let you see the joke......"
"What do you say, I told you earlier, your mother's family is your backing, why did you become a joke when you were wronged by your in-laws' family and came back to your mother's house?"
Saying that, Li Xin patted her hand and asked, "Why did you come back this time?" ”
Ah He sobbed and said, "The business of the noodle restaurant is gradually improving. The seasoning of each bowl of noodles is prepared by myself, and Brother Qiang is only responsible for kneading the noodles and ramen, and gradually there are more repeat customers, word of mouth, and the business is still very hot when there is time. My father-in-law was happy for a few days, and he ate noodles several times, and felt that the taste was different from before, so he asked me what was going on with Brother Qiang. I said, the seasoning was given by my sister-in-law......"
Ah He rubbed the corners of his eyes and continued: "Father-in-law didn't say anything at first, anyway, he doesn't care much about the noodle restaurant now. The noodle restaurant is basically handed over to Brother Qiang to take care of, and every month Brother Qiang gives him money. But later, the business got better and better, and the net profit every month was about to reach the five taels of silver that my sister-in-law said at the time, and my sister-in-law was moved. ”
Li Xin raised her eyebrows: "She wants to come and get a piece of the pie?" ”
Ah He nodded and said, "She said that the noodle restaurant is small, and if the store is expanded, there will be more customers, and the income will be better." I also told my parents-in-law that she had nothing to do at home now, and she would also come to the noodle restaurant to help. If she helps, she will help, wipe the table and shelf and help the guests order noodles and shout. There was so much she could do, but she only leaned next to me, her eyes unblinking, looking at my spices. ”
Li Xin laughed: "She has two brains, but unfortunately her motives are not pure, and her methods are dirty, which makes people annoying." ”
Ah He's mood calmed down a little at this time. Go on; "Of course I won't let her see it, once she's next to me, I won't be in tune, and she won't be able to learn. I thought that she would stop thinking about herself in two days, but she didn't think that she would sue in front of her parents-in-law, saying that I was not their Luo family, and I didn't treat the Luo family as my own, and the noodle restaurant belonged to the Luo family, and I still had something hidden in the seasoning. Father-in-law really believed her and asked me to hand over the recipe, if it wasn't for Brother Qiang, I don't know how ugly Father-in-law they would say. ”
Ah He snorted: "Last month, the net profit was as much as five taels of silver, Brother Qiang was very happy, and it was not in vain that we got up early and were greedy and tired every day to earn this livelihood, and when I was calculating the accounts to see how much I wanted to give my sister-in-law, my father-in-law entered the house, and without saying a word, he collected all the money." My concubine stood by the door and looked at me with a smile, accusing me of picking money behind my back......"
Even if Ah Mei has a good temperament, she can't help but say: "She's too much!" ”
Ah He sighed: "Brother Qiang said that he had signed an agreement with his sister-in-law, and the net profit of five taels of silver would be given to his sister-in-law, but my father-in-law didn't believe it, and my sister-in-law also said that we lied to her." Brother Qiang took out the agreement and let them see it, my concubine is illiterate, my father-in-law can read and write, and after reading it, it is estimated that there is some faith, who knows that my concubine said again, what can this piece of paper say, making money is the most important thing, we don't say, who knows how much we make or something. Of course, Brother Qiang disagreed, but his father-in-law was moved. In the end, my sister-in-law coaxed my father-in-law to take the money and left, and then found my mother-in-law to persuade me to give me the seasoning recipe. ”
Ah He said a little sad again, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are like this, Brother Qiang only said that it was given by his sister-in-law and couldn't be taken out, but he was honest and couldn't say anything about his younger siblings at all, so he just kept silent in the end." ”
"And then you came back with your daughter in a fit of rage?" Li Xin asked.
"Hmm." Ah He said embarrassedly: "I'm causing trouble to my sister-in-law." ”
"It's not troublesome, the place to live is ready-made, Ah Xiu is not at home anyway." Li Xin smiled and said, "You can stay in peace, and see if your boss comes to you in two days." ”
"Sister-in-law......" Ahone paused and said embarrassedly: "You say, if he comes to me, will I go back?" ”
"A few more days." Li Xin said with a smile: "If you stay for a few more days, it is estimated that you will not be there, and the business of your mother-in-law's noodle restaurant will definitely be cold all of a sudden, and now those diners are going to your seasoning and your kneading skills, and the seasoning is even more important. Let your mother-in-law's family know that you Guan Ahe is not easy to mess with, and now the noodle restaurant they rely on for survival depends on you to survive. ”
Ah He burst into tears and laughed, and Li Xin said: "Moreover, the part of the money I earn from the above hall in the agreement can't be just counted like that." I'm talking to you about kinship, but it's not so good with your father-in-law. Forget it this time, there will be a next time, and next time, since your concubine can give you such an idea, it can be seen that your mind is not right, and you have to be careful to watch out for her in the future. Li Xin said: "This is our sister-in-law to speak, and I also advise you, your father-in-law is not easy to get along with, and your concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you can divide it, it is best to divide it." ”
Ah He nodded solemnly, and Li Xin said: "Now the work at home is done by the two of you, but it is someone else who enjoys it, what do you want?" It's better to plan for yourself early. It's okay to open your own noodle restaurant, and if you can't do it, you'll be tired and tired for your father-in-law's noodle restaurant. With money in your hands, you can do a lot if you want to, and it's better not to be constrained by others. ”
Ah He was teachable: "I have also thought about this problem, but ......" Ah He sighed: "Brother Qiang is filial, and he is afraid of his father, he is afraid that he will not be able to get up......"
Li Xin smiled: "There are more times when you go back to your parents' house, and the more dissatisfied you are with his father and his younger siblings." A man will one day be unable to bear it and will explode, which is also the result of his own relatives being unkind to him. ”
It's like Guan Wen.
Of course, Li Xin will not tell Ah He about this analogy.
persuaded Ah He two more sentences, Ah Mei's hot steamed buns in the stove were also good, Ah He went to call the eldest girl and the second girl, and the mother and daughter ate together.
When Guan Wen and Guan Wu came back in the evening, they were stunned when they saw Ah He.
Guan Wu frowned after being happy, and suddenly asked loudly: "Ahe, why don't you have no one to do a big thing on your birthday, but you are back to your parents' house?" Did your in-laws bully you? ”
Ah He hurriedly waved his hand and said curtly: "No, it's not that serious......"
Guan Wen pulled Guan Wu to sit down and asked Ah He, "Is there something wrong with my mother-in-law?" ”
“…… Well. Ah He replied sullenly: "I was angry, so I came back with the eldest girl and the second girl." Ah He glanced at Guan Wen: "Big brother, I'm sorry to trouble you......"
Guan Wen sighed, and when he saw that Li Xin gave him a look and asked him not to ask again, he also closed his mouth and said, "You can stay here." But I still muttered in my heart, I don't know if my brother-in-law knows that my sister is angry and returns to her parents' house, will she chase after her?
moved his mouth Guan Wen said: "...... If your brother-in-law comes to you, you two should talk about it. ”
When he went back to his daughter-in-law's house to find his daughter-in-law, he had experienced it himself, so he naturally understood Luo Qiang's suffering. But because he changed from a man chasing his wife to a "mother's family" this time, he was a little resentful of Luo Qiang in his heart - his sister's good temperament can make them Luo family angry, which shows that this anger is not small.
Thinking about it like this, I remembered that Li Xin went back to her parents' house without saying a word at that time, at that time, I didn't know how dissatisfied my brother-in-law's brother-in-law was with him, and suddenly his face was a little scornful, and he took the initiative to bring water to Li Xin that night and rubbed his shoulders and feet, and behaved very attentively, which made Li Xin a little surprised, but he was also happy to accept it - men are willing to serve you, and you don't want to be sick.
The day after Ah He came, the Guan family had another guest.
