I was the best old lady in ancient times

Ning Youzhi didn't notice the anger in Zhou's and Cui's eyes when he did this.

As an outsider, Aunt Tan could see clearly.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite.

It seems that Li Zheng's family is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface!

When Aunt Tan came back after delivering the things, she saw Ning Laosi who was kneeling and watching him go out, but now he was no longer at the door.

Thinking about it, he should have been invited home by the fourth grandma.

Aunt Tan breathed a sigh of relief. When she came out with a gift just now, she felt uncomfortable seeing the fourth master kneeling like this.

After all, no matter how you say it, he is the master and he is the slave.

It's good for people to leave now, so as not to embarrass everyone.

Ning Youcai returned home in a daze, no matter how Zhao Juan talked to him, he didn't respond.

Zhao Juan, who was clutching her belly, had no choice but to cook first.

No matter what, Ning Youcai was willing to listen to her persuasion and come home instead of kneeling at her mother-in-law's door. She felt that she had won.

When Ning Pengpeng woke up refreshed, Aunt Tan was already waiting outside with hot water for washing her face.

After washing his face and rubbing the moisturizer he bought in Mingzhou, Ning Pengpeng felt that the wrinkles on his face seemed to be less.

By the time it was time for dinner, Ning Youfu had already returned with the carriage.

Although it's almost thirty miles to Shiqiao Village, driving a horse-drawn cart is naturally much faster than walking and ox carts.

Coupled with the fact that Ning Youfu was anxious, the speed was naturally fast.

In just two hours, they arrived at Shiqiao Village.

Shi Xianglan took her husband and Ning Youfu back home first, thinking about asking her parents to tell the people in the village about replacing corvee.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Xianglan said it, Father Shi's mother's eyes widened and she replied with surprise.

"You have eight brothers, and now there are seven left at home!

Since you have to pay money instead of corvee, it's better to earn the money yourself. "

Only then did Shi Xianglan remember that she really had many brothers, if her father didn't know how to hunt, she probably wouldn't be able to support them.

Moreover, in order to find someone quickly, Ning Youfu promised to give each person three taels of money.

The four brothers of the Ning family needed four of them, so that was 12 taels of silver.

With these 12 taels of silver, the family can be much more comfortable.

Most importantly, with five fewer mouths in the house, a lot of food can be saved.

Not only Shi's father and mother were surprised, Shi Xianglan's brothers were also excited.

Such a large amount of money, probably only once in this life, is not easy to earn.

Ning Youfu never thought that he would find someone so soon.

Seeing that everyone in the Shi family was willing, he quickly paid a deposit of six taels of silver to Father Shi, and made an appointment to go to the Anzhen Yamen to sign a pledge tomorrow morning, stating that he voluntarily replaced the four brothers of the Ning family to serve corvee. thing.

Although the magistrate of the county said that it is good not to use silver instead of corvee, it is not so unreasonable to not allow others to replace corvee.

As long as both parties are voluntary, the magistrate will not control the private transaction between the two.

Originally, Ning Youfu thought that he would go to Shiqiao Village to find the villager to discuss for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be done so soon, so naturally he wouldn't stay for a long time. He agreed to go to Anzhen tomorrow morning, so he hurried Bring Shi Xianglan and his wife back.

Before returning, Shi Xianglan hesitated for a long time, but finally did not tell her parents about weaving the straw curtains.

She felt that even if she wanted to talk about it, she had to report it to her father-in-law first, and let her father-in-law discuss it with her aunt, and then it would be better to talk about it with her natal family.

If I say it now, my father-in-law and aunt-in-law disagree, and my mother-in-law’s family will probably blame her if they don’t say anything about her. If they are not sure, they will make promises to them indiscriminately, making them hopeful and disappointed.

At that time, she was really two-faced.

When Ning Youfu returned the carriage, he told Ning Pengpeng that the four brothers of the Shi family had been forced to serve in corvee instead, and that six taels of silver had also been paid in advance.

Ning Pengpeng nodded and told him to go to Ning Laoer and the others and ask them for the rest of the money.

"Mother, where is the fourth child?"

Ning Youfu was a little uncertain, took a peek at Ning Pengpeng, and then asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong with him? If he doesn't want to pay, he can go to the corvee by himself.

As a mother, I have done my best to him. "

Ning Pengpeng replied with staring eyes.

"And you, the shop is closed as soon as it is said, do you know how serious the loss is?

It's just spending a little more money to find someone to serve in corvee. Do you need to close your own shop?
Thanks to the fact that you are still the shopkeeper, don't you know how to account for this point in and out? "

Ning Youfu was so bloody scolded by Ning Pengpeng that he lowered his head and dared not speak out.

He also panicked all of a sudden, that's why he made the move to close the shop.

After my mother came back, things were done, and I woke up. In fact, I don't need to be so flustered.

"Mother, my son is wrong!"

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, take your mother-in-law back to town as soon as possible.

It's a big deal, if you encounter something in the future, think about it with your brain first. "

Ning Pengpeng waved his hand and didn't let him eat.

"Yes, mother."

Ning Youfu backed out with his head down, and when he returned to the old house, he saw Mrs. Liu happily counting the gifts from Ning Pengpeng.

These are all bought in Mingzhou Prefecture, they are all good things!

Especially those few pieces of fabric can make two sets of clothes for myself and my man.

There are also children who can also cut two new clothes.

That's the one who has no vision in the fourth family, who dares to make trouble when her mother-in-law is away.

It is estimated that the fourth bedroom must have nothing this time.

"Pack up your things and let's go back."

As soon as he entered the door, Ning Youfu gave instructions to Liu Shi.

"Ah? Shall we stay a few more days?"

Thinking of how generous my mother-in-law is, I don't know how many good things I have in my hand!

For the first time, Liu felt that there was nothing wrong with serving her mother-in-law.

Moreover, the son and daughter are all here, and they have only kissed each other for two days, so why did they go back?
"If we don't go back, you will be scolded by your mother!"

Ning Youfu glared at the troubled Liu Shi, and then went out to lead a newly bought donkey cart.

Bullock carts are too slow, horse carts are too expensive, and donkey carts are better!
It can pull things and people, and the price is not expensive.

Hearing what Xianggong said, Liu's shuddered suddenly, and remembered, the door of that shop was still closed!
Before, it was estimated that the mother-in-law only remembered to scold the fourth child and forgot about it!
If my mother-in-law remembered and I stayed in front of my mother-in-law again, I would have to be taught a lesson by her.

Compared with the benefits that have not yet been obtained, and the possibility of being scolded soon, Liu feels that it is better to go back to the town first.

After figuring this out, she hastily sorted out her things and loaded them into the donkey cart.

After tidying up, she took the child to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, and she kept beating drums in her heart.
