Chapter 22: Regret (3)
Although Wang's words are not listening, but in reason, it is really useless to regret regretting it now, but it is so affordable, Grandma Chu muttered: "According to what you mean?" ”
"A-Niang, when the stall wasn't so popular before, she Shen dared to say that she would give three taels a month, but now this deal is many times better than before, and she only gives three taels a month, I'm afraid it's a little too much!"
Grandma Chu didn't expect Wang to say this, and she hesitated: "But this matter was originally agreed with your father, and it has only been less than two months......"
"Eh, Auntie, you don't want to think about it, why did the Shen family rush to you to tell Daddy about this in June, I see, it was deliberately said before the Midyear Festival, I am afraid that it will be said before the Midyear Festival, so that we know the true situation of the stall, and we will not be able to fool you and Daddy!"
Grandma Chu listened to Wang's explanation, and instantly felt that she had let Shen Luzhu calculate, and she and Grandpa Chu had lost a lot: "This Shen family has a lot of hearts, but this matter has been promised, if you regret it...... I still have to discuss it with your father! ”
"Auntie, if you want your daughter-in-law to talk about this, it's better not to tell Daddy, Chu Ren's father is with Daddy, the most important thing is to talk about the old rules, it stands to reason that this is a good thing, but sometimes, it's too much about the rules, but I frame myself, I'm afraid that Daddy will lose face and refuse to agree!"
Wang couldn't wait to roll a few eyes at Grandma Chu, this old lady is really not open-minded, this kind of thing, naturally, the more people know, the more it is put on the surface, the more difficult it will be!
Grandma Chu thought about it, if the head of the house knew, it was really possible to admit it, but let her just forget it, and give up those white flowers, she was really reluctant: "Then what do you say?" ”
"I want my daughter-in-law to say, we might as well ...... like this" Wang leaned in Grandma Chu's ear and muttered.
After the Midyear Festival, Grandma Chu's body was almost healed, just in time for the village school to take a mid-year vacation, Chu Yi took Shen Luzhu and the two small ones in the family to the town.
When the four of them arrived in the town, they went straight to the money village where they went last time, and they had nothing to do a few days ago, and the two of them took the account book and calculated, and in the more than ten days before the Midyear Festival, they earned more than forty-six taels!
In addition, he earned in the first two months, and saved a total of less than sixty taels, so many silver copper plates were placed at home, even if they took up space and were not easy to tidy up, Shen Luzhu calculated and exchanged most of them for silver tickets.
After changing the silver ticket, a few people went to the cloth village to pick up a few soft linen cloths, Shen Luzhu planned to make two sets of summer shirts for each of the family, although this material is slightly more expensive than the ordinary one, but it is light and soft and does not like to touch the body, it is the most comfortable to wear in summer, and it is not particularly easy to wear, but it is also cost-effective.
After choosing the fabric, I looked up and saw the ready-to-wear hanging on the side of the cloth village, a few of which were made for the little girl to wear, the color was fresh and tender, the style was also good-looking, it was suitable for wearing now, Shen Luzhu liked how to see it, so he bought two sets for Chu Xiuxiu, thought about it and let the shopkeeper lead it, and picked two sets for Chu Li, before checking out and leaving.
Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu wanted to take their younger brothers and sisters to have a good meal, but the two little ones refused to enter the door of the restaurant at all, so they couldn't resist the two of them, so they finally bought a few bowls of wontons and meat buns at a roadside stall.
In the afternoon, I went to visit the bookstore again, bought some books for Chu Li, Shen Luzhu also picked a few travelogue books, thinking that when I was bored, I could pass the time, and then on the roadside stall, I picked out some headdresses and silk flowers suitable for a little girl like Chu Xiuxiu, and finally brought some sauce duck bacon, preserved fruit pastries and other food, and then took a big bag and a small wrap and sat on the ox cart back to the village!
The Wang family has been going back to the old house almost every day recently, just to find a chance to talk to Shen Luzhu about the three taels of silver a month, but I don't know if it's bad luck or whatever, every time Shen Luzhu comes to the main house to deliver medicine and food, Grandpa Chu is there, or the young couple has finished their work and hides in their own house and can't come out.
Finally, Grandma Chu's body was completely healed, and Grandpa Chu also went out for a walk as usual, and today a small couple went out with two small ones.
The Wang family waited left and right in the old mansion, but the next person was looking forward to coming back, and seeing that they had bought so many things, he was even more determined in his heart, and he would definitely want more for a while!
Finally waited for Shen Luzhu to place an order, and Wang hurriedly called people to the main room.
The Wang family saw that people were coming for a long time, and Grandma Chu didn't get to the point, but asked some useless questions, so anxious that she could only go into battle by herself: "Shen, I see that you bought so many things today, I think you spent a lot of money, it seems that this stall has indeed earned a lot of money!" ”
Shen Luzhu entered the house and sat down for a long time, but he didn't understand what Grandma Chu and Wang's called themselves about, as soon as the words of the eldest aunt Wang came out, and then thought of what Xiuxiu said before, Shen Luzhu immediately understood, this is still unwilling, and the idea of beating her silver money is coming!
Shen Luzhu's thoughts were tumbling in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just looked at Wang with a smile and didn't respond to her words.
Wang didn't get a response, so he had to laugh dryly twice and continued: "You see that you have spent more than three taels today, and you will only give three taels to the family this month, is it less?" ”
"Didn't grandma say this, didn't let her granddaughter-in-law talk about it, why did she turn her head and tell the aunt?"
Grandma Chu was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but squeak: "Your aunt is not an outsider." ”
"It's all separated, how can you not be an outsider?"
Grandma Chu doesn't like to hear people mention their separation, and just as she was about to have a seizure, she heard Shen Luzhu say again: "Ah yes, I almost forgot the rules of our family, and I don't get distracted when we split up!" Isn't it, grandma? However, the granddaughter-in-law remembers that our Chu family still has a rule, after the children and grandchildren finish the work at home, they can do private work to earn their own money, and this private work is to earn or lose, and it has nothing to do with the family, even grandpa and grandma have never come to ask for it, why does the aunt want us to do private work? ”
The Wang family was directly distracted by Shen Luzhu, and he was a little panicked: "This, this rule is correct, but you Chu Yi only do half a day's work every day now, where do you come to do the work at home!" ”
"Because of this, I compensated my family with three taels of silver every month, why did my grandmother only tell my aunt about three taels of silver a month, but didn't say what it was for?"
"Shen, you don't have to play tricks here, your business is so good, you have made so much money, but you only give three taels to your family a month, and you don't feel sorry! Besides, the coffin business at home is also good, you have been delayed for more than half this time, how can you compensate for three taels a month? ”
Grandma Chu also echoed: "Three taels is a little less, and at the best time, the family could sell seven or eight coffins a month." ”
"I think it's just right to give it to your family every month according to the money you earn!"
Shen Luzhu couldn't help laughing in his heart, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really a family, and they really say anything nonsense for silver!
"Grandma, uncle, the three taels I give every month are to compensate Chu Yi for half a day, is it possible that Chu Yi can do much work in half a day, and bring changes? The more we earn, the more we do, the less we earn, the less we do? Isn't it the same every month? ”
Seeing that Shen Luzhu refused to let go, Wang suddenly smiled and threatened: "If the nephew and daughter-in-law really don't want to take this money, we as elders can't rob it, right, then there is no way, it's better to let Chu Yi still work for the family as before, and after finishing the work at home, go and do your own, how about it?" ”
She Shen Luzhu said that she would give three taels a month, didn't she just want Chu Yi to work more at the stall and make a lot of money, didn't she want to take more money, then let Chu Yi come back, they couldn't get it, and she didn't want to earn more!
Grandma Chu didn't expect her eldest daughter-in-law to say this, even if she couldn't ask for more, she couldn't mess up the original three taels: "This ......"
Shen Luzhu forcibly suppressed her anger, she spent so much effort, just to make Chu Yi easier, Wang's she thought of beauty: "Look at what the eldest aunt said, what a big thing, what a robbery or not, don't you mean that you will earn more in the future, just give more, grandma, don't worry, I will give you three taels in a while, plus the three taels given to you at the beginning of the month, I will give you six taels this month, and I will earn more in the future, I will give more!" ”
Look, Jiang is still old and spicy, Wang smiled proudly, thinking about whether to ask for more: "Six taels, isn't it ......?"
"This is the case today, but does Grandpa know? In the past, it was all with Grandpa's consent, did you also call Grandpa over after a while, sit together and talk? ”
Shen Luzhu has been in the house for so long, and he hasn't seen Grandpa Chu, guessing about this, either Grandpa Chu doesn't know, or Grandpa Chu doesn't want to come forward, no matter what the situation is, in short, he just doesn't want to move to the table, saying this is to remind the Wang family, it's better to be more restrained, don't get an inch!
Sure enough, when the Wang family heard this, half of his arrogance was instantly extinguished: "What your grandma means is what your grandpa means!" ”
Shen Luzhu sneered, it seems that she doesn't know, she is waiting for the eldest aunt and grandma, and take the initiative to come to her to change back to the day of three taels a month!
Chu Yi went to the empty house to put down things, and when he came back, he didn't see his wife, and he didn't see anyone in front of and behind the house, and he was about to go to the main room to have a look, and he saw his wife come out of Grandma's house! A little strange: "How did you go to Grandma's house?" ”
"Let's go back to the house."
The wife looked angry, Chu Yi closed the door and asked again, "What's the matter, what did grandma say?" ”
Shen Luzhu hugged Chu Yi's waist, buried his head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "Chu Yi, auntie and grandma bully me!" When they saw that we were making money, they thought that three taels a month was too little, and they wanted more silver! How can this be, there is no credibility at all! ”
"I'm going to find Grandma!" Chu Yi said that he was about to take off Shen Luzhu's hand wrapped around his waist.
"You don't have to go, I've already promised, I'll send three taels over in a while!"
"Azhu, you don't have to be wronged for me, making a coffin is not as tiring as you think, it's okay like before, I'm used to it, some elders ...... It's just that the age and seniority are there, I married you to make you happy, you don't have to suffer anyone's grievances for me, and the elders don't have to, you know? I'll tell Grandma later! ”
Shen Luzhu raised his head and stared at Chu Yi for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Chu Yi! You've been talking a long way! The two of us are really a pair of little mandarin ducks who love each other! Don't worry, I wasn't wronged, but I was a little angry! ”
"It's not okay if you're angry!"
"Well, this breath really can't just be left at that, so I guess...... What do you think? Shen Luzhu lay in Chu Yi's ear, talking about her revenge plan, she wanted the eldest aunt to beg her to change back!
Chu Yi had a serious expression on his face, and finally had a smile, and touched his wife's little face: "It's good if you're happy!" ”
"Chu Yi, you are good today!" No, she can't lose!
"What?" Obviously, the topic changed too quickly, and Chu Yi couldn't keep up with Shen Luzhu's thinking!
Shen Luzhu blinked his big watery eyes, and asked the person in front of him in distress: "What should I do, Chu Yi, I seem to be too careful!" ”
"Flower heart?" Chu Yi was a little confused, was that what he meant?
"Yes, I like it if you don't talk, I like it when you talk, I like it when you talk, and I like it even when you're angry! What should I do, am I too distracted? ”
It turned out to be such a flower heart, and it didn't seem to be anything bad! Well, that's right, that's good!
