Chapter 124: The One Hundred and Twenty-Four Days of Becoming an Old Lady
The thick stack of silver tickets carries a lot of weight in your hand.
The old lady's unintentional move and the silver ticket were scavenged, and she had to admire Boss Hu for making money.
How long has it been, and where did you get so much silver?
"Mother, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think......"
Boss Hu was completely panicked, touched his chest, and a silver ticket was gone!
He regretted that his intestines were blue, and he thought that the old lady would touch it without saying a word. Knowing this, he might as well be beaten by the old lady.
The old lady held the silver ticket in one hand and counted it in the other. She didn't say anything, waiting for Boss Hu to explain.
What can Boss Hu explain?
"Yes, it was given to me by Zhang Yuanwai. Yes, it's a dowry! Yes, it's a dowry! ”
Boss Hu finally found a reason, in fact, this was the reason in the first place.
The purpose of Zhang Yuanwai giving him these silver was to appease Hu Baozhu and compensate Hu Baozhu. But Boss Hu didn't think so, in order to match Hu Baozhu and Zhang Yuanwai, he had no credit and hard work, and he could give Hu Baozhu a part of the silver, but the bulk was his.
The silver that had not yet had time to be distributed was touched by the old lady, and this time there was no one.
Boss Hu stared at the old lady eagerly, begging the old lady to return the silver ticket to him. He's counting on these silver tickets to save his life!
The old lady had already counted the amount on the silver ticket and looked up:
"A dowry of five thousand taels of silver?"
Last time I went back to Zhang's house, I brought the things together, and it would be great to have five hundred taels. This time, Zhang Yuan's hand was 5,000 taels, wasn't he scared by her generosity?
A dowry of 5,000 taels is a huge amount of money in any household. Even if a person in the village marries a wife of ten taels or twenty taels, he is top-notch, and he is afraid that a family will not be able to earn it for a lifetime.
Although Hu Baozhu has a good appearance and a good family background, the old lady also feels very sincere when she takes out 5,000 taels of silver to hire her.
If the money is given by the matchmaker, it is right. But what happened to the Zhang family asking Boss Hu to bring the silver back?
How can there be a reason for the eldest brother to be hired?
Moreover......
The old lady stared at Boss Hu who was about to write "regret" on his face, and Boss Hu didn't want to take these silver tickets back to the Hu family at first.
The old lady's eyes were too sharp, as if she could see through all the vanity in the world, and Boss Hu was frightened.
"Yes." Afraid that the old lady would serve with a stick, Boss Hu pinched his nose and recognized it.
Five thousand taels, his heart is dripping blood!
He recognized it with pleasure, and the old lady took it with pleasure.
"Since it's a dowry, I'll take it." The old lady folded the silver ticket and put it in her pocket.
"No way!"
After all, it was money that triumphed over reason, and Boss Hu withstood the threat of stick education and fought for his rights and interests under the old lady's gloomy gaze.
"There's more, there'......"
What else?
He was so anxious that he frowned, and finally extracted a valid reason from it:
"Zhang Yuanwai learned that I was going to be an official, so he specially gave me a sum of silver."
There is not only Hu Baozhu's dowry in this, but also the money he has as an official, and it can't all be given to the old lady.
At this moment, Boss Hu's eyes are scarlet, and he has long lost his mind when he is blinded by money. If it weren't for the fact that the body still remembered the old lady's threat, he would have been eager to snatch the silver ticket directly.
The two confronted each other, and although Boss Hu didn't dare to look at the old lady's gaze, his attitude was unprecedentedly tough.
No way, the attraction of money is too great.
The old lady had already put away the silver ticket, and when she saw Boss Hu's gaze wandering over her pocket, she sneered in her heart.
"Being an official? Wize County Order? ”
There was a mocking smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth, and sometimes she wondered if Boss Hu had a bad memory, and the yamen remembered clearly why he and his grandson had a fight last time. Now when it comes to being an official again, he is fooling the old lady for a fool!
The old lady's mind Boss Hu doesn't know, he is now bent on money, as long as he has money, he can admit anything.
"Well, with this money, it's all right."
It's not that he wants to deceive the old lady, Boss Hu has never forgotten to be an official, he has been struggling, looking for people everywhere, as long as he has money, he can do anything.
"How much?" The old lady seemed to be relieved, and Boss Hu hurriedly said:
"Two thousand...... No, three thousand taels. ”
He held out three fingers with eager anticipation.
The countryman can hire ten taels or twenty taels, although the treasure bead is the treasure of the family, in the eyes of Boss Hu, five hundred taels of silver is already the top of the sky. However, this matter was seen through by the old lady, and Boss Hu could only add more dowry. Two thousand taels, no more!
Boss Hu thought that the old lady had the meaning of relieving, and his tone was full of sadness. He choked up:
"Mother, when your son becomes an official, you are the old lady. When the time comes, there will be all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies. My son will give you two maids, and you don't need to work in the fields, just enjoy the happiness at home? ”
Enjoy?
She was afraid that she would not be able to enjoy it.
"How did I hear that there is someone else in the county order of Huize County?" The old lady finally exposed his lie, and hung up her triangular eyes in the cold light.
It is true that there are no rolling pins on hand, but there is no shortage of wooden sticks in the village.
The old lady learned the stick technique taught by Zhang Ai, and now she can beat people without holding a rolling pin.
The cold air rose from his back, and Boss Hu was still roaring angrily:
"It was my grandson who plotted to kill me!"
He gushed about his grandson's plot to set him up, from the official vacancy to the gambling house to the later personal debts, all of which were conspiracy.
Sun Zimou didn't intend to make him an official from the beginning, and the so-called official shortage was nothing more than a lie.
Boss Hu was really angry and went to beat Sun Zimou, but he didn't fight, and he was injured and imprisoned.
Boss Hu is not with his grandson now, he has found a new way.
"I found another way, and this time I specified that it would work." Boss Hu swore to the old lady that he would definitely be able to become an official. That extremely crazy look like a madman who has fallen into a pyramid scheme, full of great truths, but none of them can be realized.
"How much silver do you need?"
The old lady's words interrupted Boss Hu's talking.
After all, he lacked silver in his hands. When the old lady mentioned silver, didn't she want to help him with money?
Hu Laosi's carpentry shop doesn't seem to have many customers, but Hu Laosi knows that he is doing business with the government, and there is no shortage of business.
According to the rules of the Hu family, all the money earned by Hu Laosi had to be handed over, and the silver in the old lady's hand was only a lot more.
The habits developed in the past forty years are not easy to change, and Boss Hu still has expectations for the old lady, and he expects Ai Ai to stretch out two fingers;
"Twenty thousand taels."
Suck......
The old lady took a sharp breath.
"Twenty thousand taels? Do you want to sell our family? ”
Even if they are all sold, they can't afford to support such a loser.
Boss Hu also knew that there was a lot of money, and he didn't let the old lady go out alone. Secretly poked and poked at the old lady and winked her eyes, and said comfortably:
"The Qin clan has money in their hands."
As he spoke, he mentioned Heli, and Boss Hu said that as long as he Heli, he would be able to get the silver from the Qin family. Qin's shop is like a treasure, and the money in Qin's hand is his small treasury.
The more the old lady listened, the more angry she became, as the head of the family, she didn't know how to support the family, so she deducted money from her daughter-in-law. Boss Hu is a father in vain, a husband in vain!
Boss Hu was still thinking about beautiful things, and the angry old lady picked up a branch and greeted Boss Hu.
"Oh, mother?" Boss Hu Meizizi was curious, but he couldn't help but be beaten up, and he was at a loss.
"I'll let you be idle, I'll make you not want to make progress!" The old lady's branches followed like a shadow, beating Boss Hu all over the ground.
