Chapter 30: Don't sit idly by

Lu Jiaojiao didn't speak, but she didn't expect that this Shen Xingchen was so fierce and could fight so fiercely with an old woman.

When she saw that the villagers around her had dispersed, she wanted to go home.

Shen Xingchen stopped her in a deep voice: "Wait a minute." ”

Lu Jiaojiao stopped, raised her eyebrows and waited for Shen Xingchen to continue, then saw him take out a silver ticket from his cuffs: "Yao'er is stubborn, and she refuses to trouble me as a father, you can accept this silver and buy him some tonics." ”

Lu Jiaojiao didn't move, Shen Xingchen frowned, took back the silver ticket and glanced at it, "One thousand taels is too little?" ”

One thousand taels?

Lu Jiaojiao was shocked, knowing that the Shen family was wealthy, but she didn't expect it to be so coarse?

She was stunned, and Shen Luzhu also stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, just take what your father gave you, even if our family is sick, we have to give dozens of taels of silver, not to mention ......"

"No need." Lu Jiaojiao interrupted Shen Luzhu's words, and then smiled at her lips and said, "Let's keep this silver and go back to reward the next person." ”

Lu Jiaojiao turned around and left after speaking, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Yu and Shen Lan standing not far behind her.

She pursed her lips, did the two children hear Shen Luzhu's words just now? Will you feel uncomfortable?

"Sister-in-law...... Dad, my daughter didn't mean that, but I was afraid that my sister-in-law would be polite. Shen Luzhu watched Lu Jiaojiao leave without looking back, and explained to Shen Xingchen anxiously.

But at this moment, Shen Xingchen was not in much mood to listen to Shen Luzhu's defense, but looked at Lu Jiaojiao's back without looking back and fell into deep thought.

I have a thousand taels of silver in my hand!

That woman is just a mountain village woman, and if she can refuse to get this thousand taels of silver, she is either stupid or like Shen Yao, and she has a strong temperament.

……

Lu Jiaojiao walked up to the two children and said in a light voice: "Go home." ”

Shen Lan and Shen Yu followed up when they heard this, but they were very sure that Lu Jiaojiao had really changed.

Be patient with them, cook well, treat his father, and no longer be greedy for money......

On the way, Lu Jiaojiao saw that the two children were still wearing old clothes, and when she came home, she brought them the warm water in the pot into the house, and ordered in a tone:

"Wash and wash, put on new clothes, you guys wear tattes and go out, and others laugh at me as a mother."

After she finished speaking, she took the basket and prepared to go out, and when she passed by Shen Yao, she thought for a while and said, "I didn't buy you new clothes, I made some money selling meat recently, so I will improve the children first." ”

Shen Yao nodded, he didn't know what to say for a while, recently she sold pork to buy food and clothes for her children, and he saw it in his eyes.

Although Lu Jiaojiao is not the kind of woman who depends on the bird, she is a woman after all, the distance from Zaoli Village to the county seat is not close, and she is really hard to run around all day.

Thinking about it, Shen Yao's eyes moved slightly and glanced at the corner of the wall, falling into deep thought.

Outside the house, Lu Jiaojiao cleaned up the kitchen shed and took out fifty catties of pork from the vat and marinated it.

However, when the seasoning was placed, she found that there was nothing left of the cinnamon of the braised pork, and Shen Yao's herbs were about to bottom out, and it seemed that she would go to the mountains again tomorrow to pick the herbs she needed.

"Good look......"

Lu Jiaojiao was working here, and she heard Shen Mo's excited voice.

She thought it was probably Shen Lan and Shen Yu who changed into new clothes, right?

She was about to go in and have a look, when she saw Shen Mo pulling Shen Lan out.

The tips of Shen Lan's ears were a little red, his eyes didn't look at her, and he glanced away shyly.

Lu Jiaojiao smiled: "It's good-looking." ”

Shen Lan has that kind of warm appearance, wearing this dark blue dress, a bit like an ancient scholar's school uniform, looking clean and elegant.

"Mother......" Shen Lan spoke, Lu Jiaojiao looked at him, but Shen Lan didn't say anything for a long time.

"What's wrong? Is it that the clothes don't fit somewhere? ”

Lu Jiaojiao asked and stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look, but as soon as she took a step, she heard Shen Lan's soft voice and said very quickly: "Thank you, mother." ”

Then he turned and ran into the house.

Lu Jiaojiao was stunned, and the corners of her lips rippled into a smile, this little fox cub still knows how to be shy.

"Mother, hug ......" Shen Mo looked at Lu Jiaojiao's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and felt that the mother in front of her was very warm, and she wanted to stick it.

Lu Jiaojiao naturally would not refuse Shen Mo, and just as she bent down to pick up Shen Mo, she saw Shen Yu come out in a new sauce-colored dress, and when she saw her look over, a trace of awkwardness flashed between her eyebrows, and she said in a muffled voice: "My father called you." ”

Lu Jiaojiao wanted to go in with Shen Mo in her arms, but saw Shen Lan and Shen Yu coming out of the house, and hugged Shen Mo to the side.

Lu Jiaojiao knew that this was probably Shen Yao talking again, and she was going to tell her something alone.

When she entered the door, Shen Yao had already sat up on the edge of the bed, still holding a stack of things in his hand, which looked like silver tickets.

But Lu Jiaojiao didn't really dare to think about it over there, after all, if Shen Yao really had such a pile of silver tickets, and he still had to live in the mountains with his children wronged Bala?

She stepped forward, and Shen Yao handed over the paper in her hand.

"This is a silver ticket of five hundred taels ......"

"You're rich?"

Before Shen Yao finished speaking, Lu Jiaojiao couldn't help but question.

Shen Yao raised his eyes, it was indeed a ...... that he had hidden the silver He thought that he would see Lu Jiaojiao's angry face, but unexpectedly, there was nothing but shock in her eyes during the whole process.

Shen Yao was stunned, but still asked according to the prepared words: "Have you slept in the firewood room recently?" ”

"It's not like you haven't slept ......" Lu Jiaojiao felt that Shen Yao asked a nonsense.

Shen Yao was blocked with a light cough to hide his embarrassment, but quickly adjusted and continued: "So, you can take this silver and repair the firewood room." ”

Lu Jiaojiao couldn't help but glance at Shen Yao, and she didn't know whether she should ask or not.

She can understand that Shen Yao is hiding the silver, after all, she was really unbearable before, if the silver is taken out, maybe they are living even worse now.

It's just that Shen Yao has so much silver, it's enough to buy a house in the county seat, so why bother with the children living in the village?

Seeing the exploration in Lu Jiaojiao's eyes, Shen Yao just didn't understand, he handed the silver forward.

Lu Jiaojiao took two steps back: "With so much money, it's enough for you to build a courtyard house in this village, but I have really thought about repairing the house recently, Momo is not small, the ancients said that men and women are not five years old, and Momo will have to sleep by himself sooner or later."

Lan'er and Yu'er will also go to school at that time, and they will always have their own rooms to study, you and me...... Naturally, if you want to meet everyone's needs, two hundred taels is enough, naturally I don't plan to rely on you, you and I will each contribute half to build a house, I will take you one hundred taels, and I will ...... here."

Lu Jiaojiao scratched her head, a little embarrassed and said: "Counting the ten taels of silver that the Lu family lost, there is just a difference of eighty-three taels and seven hundred and twenty wen, and wait, I will build a house immediately when I earn one hundred taels." ”

After speaking, Lu Jiaojiao took out a hundred taels from Shen Yao's stack of silver tickets, folded them and put them into her cuffs.

Shen Yao's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of surprise in the shock.

Shocked by all the changes she made, surprised that she thought more carefully than herself, and surprised that she thought so carefully about her children.

Lu Jiaojiao saw that Shen Yao did not refute after she finished speaking, so she acquiesced that he agreed with his plan, got up and was about to leave, so she heard Shen Yao say:

"Take another fifty taels, now you are working day and night to raise the child, as a father-in-law and the father of the child, it seems that I should not stand idly by."
