Chapter Twenty-Eight: It Turned Out to Be Holding Back Bad Water
Liu Taohua didn't know that the Liu family was thinking of selling themselves again, and now she was gossiping with the Zhao family in the backyard to feed the chickens.
"Peach Blossom, is this roe deer really given to you by a nobleman?"
"Mother, of course. Not only rewarded me with this roe deer, but also rewarded me with a meal from the town restaurant, but I quietly put it in the house, and when I went back in the evening, I ate with my father, mother, brother and brother. ”
Liu Taohua whispered in Zhao's ear.
"What? You just pointed out the way to the nobleman, and the nobleman gave you such things? It's not a kid, is it? ”
Zhao didn't believe what Peach Blossom said, but he just pointed out the way out of the mountain to the nobles who hunted in the mountains, and he could get these good things.
"What's that, what is wealth? The blessed nobleman doesn't care about that. I guess I'm happy, and when I see that I'm also festive, you reward me. ”
Peach Blossom looked at Zhao's worried face, took Zhao's arm and said affectionately: "Mother, didn't I come back well." If something really happened, I wouldn't have come back safely. Rest assured. Nothing else. ”
When Zhao heard his daughter say this, he thought to himself. When he saw that the girls had returned safely, he said no more.
Soon, the people of the Liu family who went out to work all came back. Peach Blossom also accompanied Zhao to the stove room to be busy with the family's dinner.
The eldest aunt, Xiao Liu, naturally did not come over to help.
As soon as Old Man Liu returned to the yard, he was called into the house by the old woman to talk about things.
Liu Dacheng didn't care, his father and mother didn't value him, so naturally he couldn't discuss it with him if he had something. When the Liu family had dinner together in the evening, Liu Dacheng realized what his father and mother were discussing.
When he was about to eat dinner, Old Man Liu saw that everyone was sitting down on the chairs, and after smoking two mouthfuls of cigarette bags and pots, he immediately knocked on the table with the cigarette bags and pots in his hands, indicating that he was going to speak, and motioned to the people below to listen quietly.
When everyone in the Liu family heard that the old man was going to speak, they didn't move, and waited quietly. Old man Liu saw that the people below were quietly waiting for him to speak, and he was very satisfied with his authority as a family member. After being silent for a while, he said, "Everyone wait before eating, I have something to tell you." ”
When Little Peach Blossom heard her grandfather speak at this time, she always felt that it was not a good thing. Can't you let people eat first?
Little Peach Blossom's reaction at this time was not without reason. The words that Old Man Liu said every time he ate at the end of the meal were nothing more than money for the uncle to study. I'm afraid it's the same today.
"The third child is going to Fucheng to participate in the government exam this year, and now the family doesn't have any money, so I need you to be my brother to help me, and when the third child gets the fame of showing talent, it will also be the lintel of our old Liu family."
When Old Man Liu said this, he was a little unhappy when he saw that no one squeaked accordingly.
continued: "Your mother and I are both old, and we can't do work. Now there are only 10 taels of silver in the house. The rest is spread together with the old family and the second family. ”
Old man Liu made the final decision, but what he said was easy, and the people in the two rooms couldn't sit still.
"Father, mother, although Dajiang is a shopkeeper in the town, all the money collected is handed over to the family, we don't hide anything in this house, where is the extra money for the third brother?"
When Mrs. Liu heard the words of her eldest daughter-in-law, she was immediately unhappy.
She doesn't know about her niece yet? If she didn't hide her secrets, I'm afraid the pigs in the backyard wouldn't believe it. However, Xiao Liu is his own niece after all, so it is difficult to say anything at this time. What's more, what we have to deal with today is the second room, and selling Liu Taohua for silver is the right thing.
"You and Dajiang are both filial, and I know the situation of your room."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu tried her best to raise her triangular eyelids that had been pulled to look at the table in the second room.
The Liu family's meal is not divided into male and female tables like ordinary people. Instead, there is a small table in the second room, and the rest of the people are at the same table with the old man and the old lady. Naturally, there is also a difference in the meals.
Although they are the same food, when there are meat dishes, there is no meat in the dishes in the second room and one table. Even in normal times, the amount of food is less than that of the main table.
The little peach blossom didn't fall Mrs. Liu's eyes when she looked at her, combined with Old Man Liu's words, it turned out that she was holding back the bad water to deal with her own room.
If they dare to come, they will dare to accept it. Who's afraid of whom?
