Li Xianglan felt that it was enough to buy enlightenment books.

Like a calligraphy notebook for practicing calligraphy, there is no need to buy paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and women can't do scientific research, no matter how good the handwriting is, it's useless.

But Niu Dali disagreed, saying that he finally came to the town and bought all the things he wanted to buy.

What's more, their family is not short of that bit of silver.

Li Xianglan was a little angry.

They only have so much spare money at home, why doesn't Brother Dali know to save some money?

"Don't worry, Xianglan, I have a lot of strength, I won't starve you. Niu vigorously raised his thick arms and said honestly.

Li Xianglan was angry and funny, her apricot eyes widened, and she glared at him.

It's just that when she saw the eldest girl happily holding the notebook, she couldn't bear to see the disappointed eyes of her eldest daughter, the eldest daughter has followed her since she was a child and suffered hardships, and the eldest daughter is also sensible and never complains.

She sighed in her heart, bit her silver teeth, and selected some calligraphy for the eldest girl and the second girl to practice calligraphy, as well as paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and asked the bookstore for the price.

"Guest officer, a total of eight or five hundred dollars. The bookstore guy did the math.

Li Xianglan knew that the price of these things was not cheap, but it was still unexpected for eight taels, even if ordinary people spent half a year, they wouldn't need so much.

"Trouble little brother, wrap up the things!" Niu Dali paid the silver taels without thinking about it.

"Okay, good!" The bookstore guy took the silver tael, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly picked up the paper, ink, pen and inkstone they bought and went to the back room to pack it.

"I didn't disagree not to buy it, why are you in such a hurry to pay, you don't even bargain!" Li Xianglan said angrily.

Niu scratched his head vigorously and showed a simple and simple smile.

As long as he shows this honest and lovely appearance, Li Xianglan will be angry no matter how angry he is, and his smile is too infectious.

"Isn't this the second brother?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came.

A richly dressed woman led Niu Yunru into the bookstore, followed by two maidservants.

Niu Dali didn't expect to meet Niu Jinyu in the town, in his impression, when this little sister was very young, she especially liked to stick to him, always shouting behind him Second Brother, Second Brother, but when he grew up, he was very alienated from him.

Of course, he knew the reason for the instigation of this rich woman.

"Sister-in-law!" shouted the eldest and second girls.

"It's a little sister!" Li Xianglan greeted.

Niu Jinyu glanced at Li Xianglan's mother and daughter with disgust in her eyes, in her opinion, Li Xianglan is a subordinate, and her daughter is also a subordinate, she is not worthy of talking to her at all, let alone being the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of her Niu family.

Niu Yunru, who was beside Niu Jinyu, looked at Niu Dali's family of four with resentment in her eyes.

It was all caused by this stupid second uncle, so she was talked about by the gang of mud-legged people in the village, so she could only run to the town to avoid the limelight.

But it also gave her a glimpse of the affluent life in the town.

Seeing my sister-in-law wearing gold and silver every day, not only are there many maids to serve, but also expensive and beautiful dresses to wear, and jewelry to wear, she is greedy.

Although my sister-in-law always brought her beautiful clothes and jewelry, her things were no different from those of a beggar.

This made her even more determined to marry a rich son like her aunt.

"Second brother, I heard that you have been separated from the family? It's not that the little sister looks down on you, and if you leave your father, you're just afraid that you won't even be able to support yourself!" Niu Jinyu said in a tone of lesson: "Originally, there were still three or four years to live, so you should stay in the Niu family well! What do you do if you don't score the family? It's really asking for yourself!"

People who don't know the situation may think that Niu Jinyu is for Niu Dali's good, but Niu Dali knows that this is clearly mocking him.

"Is this slut instigating you to leave your father?" Niu Jinyu looked at Li Xianglan with unkind eyes, "Sure enough, it's a cheap embryo!"

Li Xianglan hung her head and didn't dare to speak, and the eldest girl and the second girl were also very afraid of this sister-in-law.

"Little sister, are you talking to your second sister-in-law like this?" Niu Dali scolded angrily.

"You.... How dare you talk to me like that?" Niu Jinyu looked at him with some surprise.

"I'm your second brother, why can't I talk to you like this? When you were a child, you changed your crotch pants, or did I change them with you, can I say a word about you?" Niu Dali said in a simple and loud tone.

Niu Jinyu was so angry that her face was full of shame, because Niu Dali dared to say her embarrassment in public.

The two maids behind him suddenly hung their heads and snickered.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, the second uncle has been like this since that illness, he is always angry with grandma, and once he fainted with milk!" Niu Yunru did not forget to splash dirty water.

The passers-by who came around pointed vigorously at the cow, "I didn't expect this man to look honest, I didn't expect to be so unfilial, even my father and mother were angry!"

The coldness in Niu Dali's eyes was fleeting, and he suddenly looked very anxious, and said: "Big niece, last time it was obviously you who framed your two sisters for stealing eggs, so much so that they almost let your milk beat, I just said that you can't frame your sister as a sister, otherwise you won't be able to marry in the future, and your milk will almost be dizzy!"

At this moment, Niu Dali's honest and simple face was so anxious that he couldn't let the passers-by around him guess.

"It turned out that the old lady was angry that her granddaughter framed her sisters?"

"I really didn't expect that little girl to look like Sven, and even her own sisters were framed!"

For a while, discussions came and went.

"No, he's lying!" Niu Yunru said angrily.

"Enough, Second brother, are you talking about your niece's mistake in front of so many people, is it the behavior of an elder?" Niu Jinyu asked loudly.

Niu Dali wanted to laugh.

Just now, Niu Yunru, a junior, said the elder in front of so many people, why didn't you say it?

Now he dares to teach him a lesson.

"I don't, I just want to explain!" Niu Dali's face was anxious, and he hurriedly shook his hand.

"Hmph, I originally wanted to persuade you to go back to Niu's house, but it seems that there is no need for that. Without the help of your family, do you think you can support your family? Don't cry and beg your father and mother when you arrive. Niu Jinyu said sarcastically.

"And what are you doing in the bookstore as a peasant who doesn't know how to read and ink? This is also where you can come? Don't dirty the things here, the things here are so precious? Even if you sell your two girls, you can't afford to lose them!"

At this moment, the bookstore boy came out of the back room, with a smile on his face, and shouted: "Guest officer, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone you bought are here." ”

It's just that when he saw that many people outside the bookstore were a little confused.

What's going on?

Why so many people?

Niu Dali wanted to laugh a little.

This bookstore guy came out on time.

Just now Niu Jinyu said that he couldn't afford to buy things in the bookstore, but this little guy still shouted that loudly, worried that others wouldn't hear it?

At this moment, Niu Jinyu's face was as ugly as eating a green-headed fly.
