pawn wife

Chang Xi first gave everyone a reassuring look, then gently pushed away Li Shi's hand that was holding her, and instead pulled her to sit on the chair, "Why are you here?"

"If we don't come, won't you even go home?" Chang Dadou complained from the side.

Li Shi also said, "That's right, if you don't come, how would we know what kind of life you are living outside? Poor parents all over the world, we parents only hope for your well-being."

"Third Sister, we are all looking forward to your return home." Chang Kui also hurriedly said something to increase his sense of presence.

Hearing the words of this family of three, Chang Xi wanted to laugh. If he didn't know their character well, he might have been deceived by the hypocrisy.

"You really blamed me," she said with a wry smile, "Da Lang died violently. According to the etiquette, how dare I report the funeral to my natal family? I am still wearing hemp, how can I bring the bad luck back to my natal family? If there is a collision The family members have three ups and downs, isn't it my fault?"

As soon as these words came out, it was reasonable, Chang Dadou and Li Shi looked at each other, they wanted to act as a loving father and mother to preemptively strike, but now they were restrained by these three girls' words, which made them quite upset in their hearts, but on the surface He didn't dare to really show it, after all those strong men were still standing there.

"It turns out that's the case, but we didn't think it through carefully." Chang Dadou said embarrassingly. If it was changed to before, he would have slapped the three girls long ago. Once done.

Mrs. Li also smiled resentfully, "Da Lang is short-lived, let's not mention him." Then he pulled Chang Xi affectionately and asked in a low voice, "Is this workshop yours? I heard people in the city say so ..."

"How did this become mine?" Chang Xi said with wide-eyed eyes, "The water here is deep, so don't talk nonsense, your old man just said something that was spread in the city, so how can you take it seriously? Anyway, I'm just Those who follow orders cannot be the master of this workshop..." In other words, don't even think about occupying a place in this workshop, don't even think about it.

When Chang Dadou heard it, the prestige that had been shaking at the beginning suddenly vented a little, but he still said unwillingly, "Why can't you be the master? I heard that you have joined the Yiyang Chamber of Commerce, and even the emperor in the capital city Let you run this unique business..."

"Hush!" Chang Xi whispered with his index finger on his lips, then looked out the door uneasily, seeing that he had successfully frightened the unscrupulous couple, he said, "Why are you so bold to mention the emperor? Let me tell you, this can’t be said casually, it’s going to kill your head..."

"What? Head off?" Chang Dadou and Li Shi both exclaimed, with disbelief written all over their faces.

Chang Xi sighed, "You have to take my words to heart, otherwise I won't be able to save you if something happens."

Chang Dadou and Li Shi looked at each other again, feeling a little scared in their hearts, but they were reluctant to leave. Even if their daughter said that she couldn't make decisions, she must have lived a good life, so how could she not be filial to them?
The unwilling husband and wife didn't want to go back home, they had to stay no matter what, after a long time they would know whether the girl was telling the truth or not, they couldn't trust her mouth now.

"San'e, your father and your brother and I have traveled a long way to come here. This trip is not easy, and we are still tired. You see, why don't we take a rest first, and wait until we have enough energy? Let's talk again..." Li Shi said intentionally.

"Of course." Chang Xi said, and then said with a troubled expression, "Since I left the Xie Mansion, the house of the Xu family has also been taken back by the patriarch. I have been living in the house behind the workshop recently, but The construction is still going on there, there are not so many vacant houses to live in now, and it is quite far from the city, why not, I will arrange for you to live in a family in the nearest village, and you will live there first, and you will have nothing to eat. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Chang Dadou was not very satisfied with this arrangement, but he couldn't find anything to object to. After all, what the three girls said was reasonable, and she really didn't have a good place to live as a widow. Thinking about it this way, no matter how dissatisfied she had to agree first.

Mrs. Li didn't care too much, as long as she could live, she didn't need to pay for it, she just lived there.

Seeing that the unscrupulous couple had agreed, Chang Xi immediately asked Hu Niu to send them to the place arranged by Aunt Osmanthus. Hu Niu could only endure her disgust for Chang Dadou and her husband, and led them over with a smirk.

Chang Dadou showed the majesty of the old man, and walked forward with his hands behind his back. Mrs. Li saw that the food on the table hadn't moved much. They were all high-quality pastries, so he stuffed some of the pastries on the table to his son. hands, and then stuffed the rest into the bag by himself, so that what could be taken would not be left behind.

Chang Kui walked proudly while eating, and now he is displaying the money of the rich young master just like his father.

The people present looked at the behavior of this family of three, and couldn't help but secretly despise it. No matter how they looked at it, Mrs. Chang didn't look like a member of his family.

Chang Xi didn't send it off in person, but hid on the grounds of being busy with work. Chang Dadou and Li Shi didn't care, but urged her to hurry up and go first, don't lose the errand, etc. Obviously, she believed Chang Xi a little As I said before, after all, in their hearts, they deeply believed that Chang Xi didn't have that much ability.

Finally, the whole family was paid off. If it wasn't for the strict rules of filial piety in the laws of the Dayu Dynasty and the consideration of her own reputation, she really couldn't bear to play tricks with them. It would save a lot of trouble to kill them with one shot.

Xiaotao and Dongli's eyes turned red when they saw Chang Xi being so wronged, but they also knew in their hearts that it was right for Mrs. Chang to deal with it in this way. If they took a tough attitude and sued the government, it would be troublesome. If it is destroyed, someone will definitely make a big fuss about it. I'm afraid that even the tea brick workshop will not be able to keep it, so the gain outweighs the loss.

"Don't think so much, the hole is dug anyway, just wait for them to jump into it." Chang Xi comforted the two girls.

Only then did Xiaotao and Dongli turn their anger into motivation, and tried their best to do the things at hand to share Chang Xi's worries.

Xie Jin quickly got wind of what happened here. He had never met Chang Dadou and the Li family, and of course he didn't plan to. It was natural for this couple to marry their daughter to someone like Xu Dalang. He is not a good person, but he is still worried that Chang Xi will be affected by this and become depressed.

So, when Chang Xi got off work, she saw Xie Jin waiting for her on the porch outside with her hands behind her back, her eyes were filled with surprise, "Why are you here?"

Although her movements were not intimate, her tone was a little brisk, which showed that her mood was not affected by the couple's arrival.

"Come to see you for dinner."

"Then try the big pot rice made by our cook, it tastes good."

Chang Xi led him to the cafeteria. The facilities of the workshop are gradually being improved. The cafeteria is divided into male and female areas, but there are also small boxes for men and women. She and Xie Jin are sitting in a small box near the window Location.

However, Chang Xi still ordered the cook to make two other small stir-fries, and did not really let Xie Jinquan eat a big pot of rice.

Looking at the unrefined food in front of him, Xie Jin was not as picky as before, but started to eat with chopsticks. Just like Chang Xi said, the taste was okay, and he would not be embarrassed when he took a second bite.

"I know why you came here, don't worry, I can handle the current emergency, and their husband and wife can't find my Wuzhishan."

"I believe you can handle it, but if you can use me, you must say it." Xie Jin said solemnly.

He has always believed in Chang Xi's ability to handle things, but if a woman is too independent and capable, what do men need?
Recently, he has been troubled by this idea. He always feels that he is superfluous to her. Without him, she might be able to handle the legalization of tea bricks.

Seeing Xie Jin's burning gaze, she smiled, "Don't worry, Xie Jiuye, if I can use you, I will not be polite."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be speaking politely, Xie Jin stopped holding on to this question and started talking about the construction of improved textile machines.

The skilled craftsman has already arrived at the other courtyard. After looking at the drawings, he said that the things can be made.

"I think if you wait another ten and a half months, you may see the finished product."

Although Chang Xi has never seen that skilled craftsman, but the craftsmen in ancient times have some real skills, so his eyes are full of anticipation, "It just so happens that Lin Sanye sent someone to send me a letter, saying that the steam power he studied has been discovered. It’s a big progress, let me visit it in the past and take a look at it when the time comes.”

Although Lin Yuqi has been doing research in other institutes, Xie Jin still avoided asking more questions. After all, this is the cooperation between Chang Xi and Lin Yuqi.

"That's a good idea, but can this steam power be used on textile machines?" He still didn't quite understand the relationship between the two, so he immediately asked the doubts in his heart.

Chang Xi knew that people in this era would not understand the industrial revolution they talked about. After all, it was an epoch-making progress, so she smiled and said, "That's for sure. If Mr. Lin's steam power can be successfully developed, we will leave ahead of the times."

Her determined appearance is very charming, but Xie Jin is not a person who is easily fascinated by beauty, so he immediately asked a sharp question, "Why are you so determined? Sometimes I really don't understand What are you thinking about, after all, it is something that no one has seen before."

Chang Xi was stunned, and quickly conducted self-reflection in her heart, and she had to be extra careful in what she said and did in the future. Don't think that people in this era are ignorant and can be fooled, no, after all, no one is stupid, especially those who are Elites, no matter when they are, they will never lose their elite qualities, let alone be easily fooled by others.

On the surface, she let out a long sigh, and under Xie Jin's puzzled gaze, she said, "That means you haven't had in-depth communication with the foreign devils, if you knew what they were studying, you wouldn't say that gone."

After a pause, she continued to alarmist, "We may have started later than them, you know? They told me that they can use steam power to do many things, such as using it in mining to discharge poisonous gas to protect the safety of miners." Safety, then once the technical barriers are broken through and used in production, can you imagine how huge the productivity is? At that time, their cloth and other products will be dumped directly to us, and our silver will be lost in large quantities, trade The superiority in the world will not exist..."
