Chapter 7 Five taels of silver
On the second day, Sanniang's courtyard, that is, Chu Zhongtian's third wife, was furious at the moment.
Early this morning, Ma Laosan, who usually greeted her for peace, did not come, but after investigation, she found that Ma Laosan disappeared out of thin air, which made her suspicious.
"Xiaoyu, you said that Ma Lao San didn't come out after going to the ugly woman's room yesterday?" asked the third lady.
"Well, yes, yesterday I did what you told him to go to Ye Lan, and then he didn't come out. As if thinking of something, Xiaoyu's face turned red as she spoke.
The third lady frowned, wondering in her heart, how could a big living person suddenly disappear, could it be that Ye Lan was angry, killed him, and then threw his body into the wilderness?
Thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was unlikely, Ma Laosan was five big and three thick, and his strength was endless, so how could Ye Lan's youngest daughter kill Ma Laosan.
"Don't think about it, young grandmother, I'm sure that fool did it. Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something at this time and said.
Last night, she heard someone roaring, but she didn't know who it was, and when she thought about it, she looked like that fool.
After telling what he heard yesterday, he saw the third young grandmother slap the table, stood up, and said angrily: "So, sure enough, that fool killed Ma Laosan, it's really the opposite, and he dares to kill someone." ”
"Xiaoyu, go and see if that fool is really not stupid, didn't he kill Ma Laosan, this time we just let that ugly woman get out of the Chu family. The third lady said.
That ugly woman is really embarrassed in the Chu family, the Chu family's face has been lost, and she should have been driven out a long time ago.
Xiaoyu nodded, turned around and walked out.
Chu Ye naturally didn't know about the conspiracy of the third wife, and at this moment he was summoned by Chu Zhongtian to go to the lobby of the Chu family, and it was said that there was something wrong.
"It's weird, I don't think I've ever been called to the lobby in my memory, and today is a bit of an anomaly. Chu Ye muttered and entered the lobby.
In the center of the hall, his face was full of majesty, and it was naturally Chu Zhongtian who was not angry and arrogant, and beside him, there were several of his brothers and sisters standing.
Chu Ye saw Chu Kong at first sight, his gaze was filled with schadenfreude and sarcasm.
Taking a step forward, Chu Ye bowed and said, "I've seen my father." ”
"Well, Ye'er, let me ask you, did you hit Chu Kong?" Chu Zhongtian didn't say a word, and said directly.
Chu Ye nodded silently.
"Then are you, still in class to rush into Mr. Fengyuan?" Chu Zhongtian asked again.
Chu Ye nodded again.
Chu Zhongtian slapped on the table and shouted: "Chu Ye, you are so bold, you contradict your master, beat your own brother, do you still have to be a member of the Chu family, and do you care about my father!"
Looking at Chu Ye with his head bowed in front of him, Chu Zhongtian was angry in his heart, he really regretted that he had asked for that Ye Lan in the first place, he looked extremely ugly, and he even gave birth to a stupid son who only knew uh-huh, which was really embarrassing for him.
Chu Ye listened to the scolding in his ear, and only a sneer was left in his heart, this father is really "competent". He beat Chu Kong, hehe, what a joke, if it weren't for Chu Ye's system, I'm afraid that he would have been killed by Chu Kong in the early stage of qi refining by now.
Chu Ye is completely chilled now, Chu Zhongtian, Chu family, hehe!
"Why don't you speak, bastard, if you don't speak, I'll beat you to death!" Chu Zhongtian was angry and slapped out.
Syllable!
Chu Ye took a few steps back, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Zhongtian coldly, with a strangeness in his eyes.
Looking at Chu Ye's eyes, the strangeness made him suddenly feel a little palpitating, because that look was really strange and terrifying.
Chu Kong looked at all this, and sneered in his heart, Chu Ye, let you beat me, hmph, I not only want my master to fire you, but also make my father completely disgusted with you.
Chu Ye stood there, motionless, except for the strange palpitating eyes that revealed a trace of life, otherwise he really looked like a fool.
Probably really disappointed in it, Chu Zhongtian said: "That's it, that's it, I Chu Zhongtian doesn't have such a stupid son, come on, let him get out of the Chu family, let them both get out." ”
"Dad, Dad, don't be angry yet, the academy just said that the meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, maybe it won't be to expel him! Chu Kong walked out and said.
It wasn't because he was kind enough to say this, the second was that he wanted to completely humiliate Chu Ye, humiliate that ugly woman, and finally let them get out of the Chu family, which was the consequence of provoking him Chu Kong.
Chu Zhongtian was so shrewd, how could he not understand Chu Kong's careful thoughts, but he had always doted on Chu Kong, so he nodded and acquiesced.
Looking at Chu Ye, he said, "Chu Ye, I'll give you another chance, if you are not expelled, you can continue to stay in the Chu family, otherwise get out." ”
After speaking, Chu Zhongtian left in a hurry, leaving only a few other people.
Chu Kong walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Chu Ye, you should thank me for letting you get out of the Chu family two days late, haha." ”
Several other people glanced at him, and also shook their heads and left, leaving only the youngest Chu Meng.
"Brother Chu Ye, you, are you okay?" asked Chu Meng cautiously.
"Thanks, it's fine. Chu Ye replied and turned to leave.
Back in the house, Ye Lan came out and brought out a bowl of vegetables and two bowls of rice, and put them on the table.
"Ye'er, what's wrong, did your father scold you?" Ye Lan felt that her son's mood was wrong.
Chu Ye took a deep breath, showed a hint of a smile, and said, "No, mother, I'll discuss something with you......"
......
At night, Chu Ye was lying on the bed, and the scenes of the day kept emerging, and at the moment of leaving, he had already decided to take Ye Lan out of the Chu family. In the outer courtyard of the Chu family, there is no difference between him and a domestic servant, and if he still has to do things, it is better to leave.
So as soon as he came back, he mentioned it to Ye Lan, but Ye Lan disagreed, saying that he could still wash clothes in the family and earn some pocket money, but outside, it was really useless.
In the end, Chu Ye was not stubborn and chose to compromise, but he decided to make money immediately and leave the Chu family.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Chu Ye was awakened by a noisy sound, and when he went out, it turned out to be a large number of maids with a few baskets of clothes pouring into the courtyard.
Ye Lan was on the ground, collecting money while constantly thanking her, Chu Ye's heart was sour, and his eyes were a little moist.
Looking at the disdainful looks of those servants and maids when they dropped their clothes, and scolding them from time to time, Chu Ye's eyes suddenly turned red.
Walking over, he grabbed Ye Lan and said, "Mother, let them take their clothes back, let's not wash them." ”
When those servants heard this, they immediately said with a cold face: "Don't wash, okay, return the money to us, and we'll leave immediately." ”
Ye Lan hurriedly stopped her clothes, glanced at Chu Ye, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll wash it, don't listen to him." Then he turned around and said to Chu Ye: "Ye'er, you have finally rested in the past two days, go and sleep, and when your mother finishes washing her clothes, she will buy you some delicious food to replenish your body." ”
Chu Ye was stunned, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.
Why are you so hypocritical, isn't it just a warm word......! Chu Ye scolded himself secretly, but he stared at the less than five taels of silver in Ye Lan's hand.
The clothes in such a large yard are only five taels of silver, and my mother can't wash them all even if she washes them for a day.
"No wonder my mother used to let me beat my back every night!" Chu Ye muttered.
In my memory, every night in the past, Ye Lan would lie on the bed and ask Chu Ye to beat her back, Chu Ye at that time was stupid, she didn't understand anything, and she was absent-minded when she beat it, causing Ye Lan to be unable to fall asleep every time.
But now, with the new Chu Ye, you shouldn't suffer anymore in the future, and I will give you a good life. Chu Ye looked at Ye Lan's back and muttered in his heart.
After all the servants left, Chu Ye said in a low voice: "Mother, so many clothes are only five taels of silver, and there are two taels of silver for washing two pieces of clothes outside!"
Ye Lan washed her clothes, then wiped her face with her sleeve, and said, "Ye'er, you know what you said, but I'm so ...... Ugly, when I go out, everyone else has to be scared to death by me, who dares to let me do laundry. ”
sighed slightly in her heart, she didn't think of helping others work outside, but because of the scar on her face, others were so scared that they didn't dare to hire her.
This was also the main reason why she rejected Chu Ye's idea of leaving the Chu family to make a living outside.
Chu Ye was slightly stunned, after all, his mother still wanted not to embarrass him.
"Mother, don't wash it, you can't be tired and can't walk this day. Chu Ye persuaded.
Ye Lan scolded with a smile: "You, you didn't care about it when your mother washed it before, you just stood stupidly, but now you are smart, but you don't let your mother wash it, it's better to be stupid!"
Chu Ye pouted, "Mother, how can you say that about your son?"
"Hehe, mother is joking, joking. Ye Lan said, "Ye'er, you go and rest, my mother is fine, tomorrow you will be in the Charm Academy, today have a good rest and recuperate, and study hard." ”
"It seems that my mother doesn't know that I'm going to be expelled, but it's okay to save him from being sad. Chu Ye said in his heart.
Being able to enter the Charm Academy, it was Ye Lan's best to switch, if she knew that she was going to be expelled, she might be angry with her.
Although sooner or later you will know, you can delay it for a while.
Back in the house, Chu Ye looked at Ye Lan who was washing clothes outside, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart, and sighed slightly, secretly saying that he was still short of money, as long as he had money, he didn't have to do all that hard work.
"It seems that I have to find a way to make money, at least so that my mother can live a good life and not have to work so hard anymore. ”
Chu Ye sat cross-legged on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, all of which revolved around making money.
As an earthling, filial piety has been deeply integrated into his mind, although Ye Lan is not his own mother, but he can really feel the kindness to him. And every time he saw Ye Lan, Chu Ye would think of his mother on earth.
"I wonder how Mom is now?"
Then he thought of Chu Ye again, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I think you should thank me for giving up to you, so that at least my mother will no longer suffer." ”
