The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 73 My son went to a relative's house today

When they came before, it was Sheng Wanqiu who received them. She didn't say much, just smiled and nodded and took them to their seats. At that time, she was very busy and didn't have time to talk in such detail.

The father and son also sent a basket of dried mushrooms, and Sheng Wanqiu expressed her gratitude. Although it was not valuable, it could be seen that the father and son were thoughtful people, not the kind of selfish people who wanted to take advantage of others.

"Thank you Miss Sheng for your hospitality. My father and I are very grateful!"

There was a hint of embarrassment on Jiang Ze's dark face. Today's banquet was really delicious. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Didn't you say you have a son? Why didn't you bring him along today?"

Sheng Wanqiu actually knew why they didn't bring them along. They were originally here to eat for free, and if they brought a child along, she was afraid Sheng Wanqiu would be unhappy. What if they didn't need them and the child?
"My son went to a relative's house today." Jiang Ze could only come up with such a lame excuse.

His family is in the current situation. Apart from this distant cousin who still keeps in touch with him and his son, all other relatives want to stay away from them. How can they have any relatives at all?

"Then bring it next time. It just so happens that I have three younger brothers who are about the same age, so we can play together."

"Then follow me to see where you will be working and get familiar with the environment first!"

"Yes, yes, you go and have a look, you will definitely be able to do it well!" Aunt Jiang was also encouraging them. She really hoped that her uncle and cousin could find a stable job.

So Sheng Wanqiu came over and told Mrs. Sheng that she would take people to check on the fields she had planted.

"Miss Sheng, can I go with you to take a look?"

Lu Li heard the conversation between several people. He knew that the watermelon last time was given by her, so he wanted to go and take a look. His mother also wrote a letter telling him that if there were any watermelons, he should send a few more back.

"Okay! If you don't mind having toads in the field, then come along!" Sheng Wanqiu deliberately joked and scared him.

"I'm not afraid!" Lu Li grew up in a large courtyard with high walls, and he was in poor health. He was afraid that the thing would melt if he held it in his mouth, and he was afraid that it would fall if he held it in his hands.

I have never seen what a toad looks like. I know about it and have seen it in books, but I have never seen it.

After all, he was the center of attention at home. The chirping of cicadas in summer disturbed his sleep, so the guards at home flew directly onto the trees and caught all the cicadas for fear of disturbing his rest.

"Okay, whatever you want!" Sheng Wanqiu shrugged and walked away with an indifferent attitude.

Several people followed her. Seeing this, Ding Dali also trotted after them. He had eaten too much and wanted to take a walk to help digest the food.

The group came to the field that Sheng Wanqiu had surrounded with a bamboo fence. The bamboo fence was very high and was completely covered by a black gauze curtain drawn by Sheng Wanqiu, leaving only a small part uncovered.

"Your main job is to help me look after the fruits and vegetables I grow in the fields. If you see anyone causing trouble, feel free to beat them up. If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame."

"Then you can water the plants and weed at night. There is a well inside. You can use the water from the well for watering. You don't have to go to the river to fetch water."

Sheng Wanqiu opened the bamboo fence and walked in with the Jiang family father and son to continue watching.

"The fruits and vegetables here are all rare goods that I have collected with great effort, so please don't let strangers in."

"Eight cents of silver per person per month, and you can take care of your own food and drink! I can provide you with a house to live in!"

"What do you two think?" Sheng Wanqiu said everything she wanted to say. After all, it is better to say the ugly things in advance to avoid trouble in the end.

But she could see that the father and son of the Jiang family were honest people, so those messy things shouldn't happen. Even if they did, she wouldn't be afraid!
"My father and I would like to thank the boss!" Old Master Jiang knelt down to Sheng Wanqiu unexpectedly, which scared Sheng Wanqiu so much that she quickly reached out to support him.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? You scared me! This is not allowed here! Aren't you trying to embarrass a junior like me? Get up quickly!"

"Don't call me Master from now on. It makes me sound quite old. Just call me Miss Sheng."

After being helped up, Old Man Jiang burst into tears. His daughter-in-law had run away with all the money in the family and also stole the land deeds and house deeds and mortgaged them.

The next day, the father and son were driven out and now live in a half-collapsed, empty house in the village that leaks when it rains.

The adults can still tolerate it, but the little grandson is so young that it really suffers for him to follow them.

"Ms. Sheng, from now on, my father and I will take good care of you and make sure you don't lose a penny!" Jiang Ze also choked and tried hard to hold back his tears.

"Okay, okay, fine. I don't like Mo Ji. This money is your salary for this month. Take it and buy some things. Come over tomorrow!"

Sheng Wanqiu took out two taels of silver from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Ze. She knew that they must be short of money. She understood that one must win over the hearts of people before hiring them, so it would not hurt to give them a little more.

There are almost no bosses who would pay money before doing any work. Old Master Jiang was so excited that he wanted to kneel down again, but Sheng Wanqiu immediately stopped him.

He's so old but still kneeling to her. She must be really afraid of shortening her life.

"Okay, then you guys go back and pack up, and come find me at my house when you come over tomorrow."

As soon as Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she heard a scream from behind her. She turned around and saw Lu Li jumping up from the spot and jumping three meters away!
Young man, you are very good at martial arts!

Not to mention that Mr. Lu seemed to be a little more down-to-earth in an instant, and his previous ethereal look was gone in Sheng Wanqiu's eyes.

"Brother Lu, don't be afraid, it's just a toad!" Sheng Huaimu squatted down and held down the puffed-up toad, then held it in his hand and walked towards Lu Li.

What bad intentions could a child have? He just wanted his brother Lu to see it more clearly. Hasn't he seen it before? Now he should be able to see it clearly!

Sheng Wanqiu also cried out inwardly: Damn it!

Whose general is this? How can he be so fierce? He captured a toad alive. He must be a ruthless man!

"Stop! Don't come over here!" Lu Li looked at Sheng Huaimu holding the disgusting thing and walking towards him with a smile.

To be honest, he had never been so scared of an assassination attempt in his life. This time he was really scared. No, it was a disgusting fear.

It was gray-brown with pimples all over its body, and there seemed to be mucus on it, with bulging eyes, like a huge pile of squashed dog shit.

"Ugh!" Lu Li was about to vomit!
"Huaimu, throw it away quickly, it's so disgusting!" Sheng Wanqiu saw that Lu Li was about to faint, so she quickly asked her brother to throw away the toad in his hand.
