Chapter 39: The Thirty-Ninth Day of Becoming an Old Lady
Hu Lao Er didn't mean to run away from the battle, he glanced at Ambassador Hu Lao:
"Big brother, this batch of food was left by my father, my mother wants to have a thought, so let's accompany my mother. Isn't it just a year's harvest? When you become an official, do you still care about this? ”
Didn't Boss Hu want to ask the old lady for money?
What a great opportunity now!
As long as they follow the old lady's words, the money will not be in hand?
The old lady wants to grow old grain?
Seed.
As long as the money is in hand and the harvest is not good, it is not their problem.
Boss Hu can understand it at one point, he pretends to be abrupt, and he no longer rejects the old lady's requirements.
The two of them sang and harmonized, which raised the curiosity of the Hu family.
The old lady sat still, and since they were curious, she also asked:
"The boss's official position has been decided?"
The old lady was leisurely and careless.
Boss Hu was a little reserved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth exposed his heart:
"It's the county order of Huize County."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was honored.
The old Hu family is going to get a makeover!
The farmer who shaved from the field became an official eunuch.
The old lady's tone couldn't help but get excited:
"The prefectural order? That's the big man of the blue sky! ”
It is said that the seven-grade sesame official, but for the croppers, even the seven-grade official is a big man. Boss Hu has changed from a showman to a county magistrate, crossing classes, how can people not be excited?
The smile on the corner of Boss Hu's mouth narrowed slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly, with a little melancholy. He bowed slightly and sighed.
"There is one last formality, which needs to be checked up and down."
At this point, the old lady should understand, right?
It's a pity that the old lady is leisurely and doesn't answer his words at all. Boss Hu couldn't either, so he could only say it more clearly:
"Can my mother support her son this time, it's not much, just five hundred taels."
He held out five fingers and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Five hundred taels!"
There was a sound of gasping air all around, and the croppers had never seen so much silver in their lives!
Oh, heard. The bride price of the Qian family to marry Hu Yan'er is 500 taels.
But, but it's too much!
The "five hundred taels" in Boss Hu's mouth are for the "two thousand taels" confiscated by the old lady, which is really not much.
But the Hu family is thinking about their own savings, and they couldn't make ends meet last year, let alone this year. Five hundred taels, it's like killing my mother!
The old lady beckoned to Boss Hu.
"Mother?" Boss Hu leaned in diligently, he tried his best to make himself look melancholy, but the excitement in his eyes had already exposed his heart.
The old lady sighed deeply, her tone was calm, and her eyes stared at him without blinking:
"You see how much your mother is worth, why don't you sell your mother?"
Boss Hu: "......"
Hu family: "......"
"Mother, this can't be helped."
Hu Laosan was the first to disagree! At the same time, he glared at Boss Hu, no matter how heavy the brotherhood was, it couldn't compare to the status of the old lady in his heart.
Boss Hu hurriedly refused, and then said, "I can't help it."
The old lady roasted him on the fire, and this is worth it?
"Can't do it? I can't help it! Do you count all our belongings and see if it's worth five hundred taels? One thousand taels before, five hundred taels now. When you become an official, you can't wait to sell our family and our entire village. This official, you can be a person, but if you can't be a farmer, go home and farm for me! ”
The old lady scolded Boss Hu so much that the rest of the Hu family was even more stunned and didn't dare to come out.
"Iron Bull, go and bring me the rolling pin."
Tie Niu stiffened, "Okay." ”
"Iron Bull." Boss Hu wanted to stop him, but Tie Niu had already flown out like an arrow from a string.
The old lady wants to practice family law again?
Boss Hu was in a war of two forces, and he had to flee with all his strength.
"Mother, my son has something important to do, so take the first step. I don't care what the crops in the field like to plant. ”
Mr. Hu strode away, lest the old lady's rolling pin fall on him.
"Stop!" He shouted angrily, "If you dare to step out of this house today, you won't have to go back in the future!" ”
Boss Hu: "......"
This dynasty is known for its "filial piety", and the emperor Lao'er is particularly concerned about filial piety because he has become a real loner. Not to mention that he is still a talented man, even the son of a common man does not dare to disobey his mother.
In a dilemma, Boss Hu's eyes were red, and he "pounced" and fell to the ground.
"Mother, are you going to force your son to death?"
If you knew it was now, you shouldn't have come back!
Thinking of Qin's gentleness and pettiness, and then looking at the old lady's arrogance, Boss Hu had a kind of sad urge to dig his own grave.
Iron Bull jumped up and handed the rolling pin to the old lady, which he did skillfully, and was even more curious about what the old lady was going to do with the rolling pin.
Rolling pin in hand, I have the world.
The old lady patted the rolling pin in her palm, stared at Boss Hu, who seemed to be soft, and was unceremoniously:
"It's better to be beaten to death by me than to be forced to die."
Boss Hu was so frightened that he immediately stood up, and in a panic, he couldn't care about any filial piety, so he ran away.
"Third child, close the door."
With the old lady's order, Hu Laosan closed the door smoothly. Hu Laoda, who had just run to the door, had nowhere to go, but Hu Laosan and the door god did not move, making people have nothing to do.
Boss Hu was scared, he was really scared.
This time is different from the last time, the old lady still knows how to retire others and save face for him. Now that his brother and daughter-in-law and children are here, if the old lady's stick hits him, he will have no status at all in the family in the future.
Boss Hu, who has already felt the "family law" once, doesn't want to feel it a second time.
He took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket in a panic, and he didn't care if the old lady could read it or not, he just wanted to prove himself.
"Mother, you see, I brought all the paperwork from Huaize County. But I am not the only one fighting for this official position, but others are also fighting for it. If there is no money, the official position will not fall on my head. ”
He tried to explain to the old lady that this time it was really not that he was doing nothing. The county order, doesn't the old lady really want him to be an official? Don't miss out on this opportunity!
"The county order of a poor county, there are still people competing after three years of no harvest? Hu Shanxing, Hu Shanxing, do you have a brain? ”
The old lady's rolling pin had already poked his head, and the shadow brought by the previous "family law" was too great, and Boss Hu couldn't hold back and sat on the ground. Instinctively curled up his legs and prepared to run.
Because he was so scared, he didn't even notice that the old lady opened her mouth and told all about the situation in Huaize County.
"Second brother, hold him down for me."
The old lady glared at Hu Lao Er, who thought it was none of her business, looked over and weighed the pros and cons for a moment.
"Big brother, I'm sorry."
He had to listen to the old lady.
"Er, you dare to ......" Hu Lao Dazhen was shocked, he tried to force him back with the majesty in his eyes, but he sat on the ground without any majesty, Hu Lao Er blocked his way without much effort.
"Ahh
The old lady's rolling pin followed, and she was struck hard in the back. Suddenly, Boss Hu felt that his entire Heavenly Spirit Cover was about to be lifted.
"Mother, spare my ......"
At the moment of severe pain, Boss Hu couldn't care about his image, and he begged the old lady to be merciful with a handful of snot and tears.
He doesn't want the money anymore, he doesn't want it anymore!
The old lady regained her strength, and the ghost of Hu cried wolf and howled so loudly that her ears hurt, and she gave up after beating three sticks.
The children of the Hu family have already seen the demeanor of the old lady, but the daughter-in-law and children have not seen it.
Jiang Shi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth while covering Hu Yan'er and Hu Yue'er's eyes.
Such a bloody scene should not be seen by the girl's family.
Xiao Qin's fingers are not tight, and Hu Yan'er can still see clearly through her fingers. She quietly looked at the extremely tragic scene in front of her, and looked at the old lady curiously.
The image of this patriarchal old lady from a peasant family suddenly became tall at this moment.
