Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 227 Thick-skinned
"Okay, one thousand and five is one thousand and five." Thinking of this, Landlord Wang nodded, took out the IOU from his pocket, and spread it out, the red handprints on it were dazzling.

Liu Man'er checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was written by herself, she counted 500 taels of silver bills to the Landlord Wang.

"Let's settle the matter now, shall we?" Liu Man'er took the bank note and said.

"It's settled." Landlord Wang folded the bank note, put it in his arms comfortably, and smiled like a Mira Buddha, "If you have any difficulties next time, feel free to come to me."

"En." Liu Man'er responded lightly, twisted her neck, counted the bank notes in her hand, took out 100 taels from it, handed it to Fang Shi, and said, "Mother, this is your pocket money for this month. "

Knowing that Liu Man'er wanted to save face for her, Fang took it with her hand, "Okay, I'll take this money, and I will go to town with your aunts tomorrow."

"Well, you've worked hard during this time, and when I get back to the county, I'll buy you some bird's nest for supplementation." Liu Man'er took her child from Fang's hands as she spoke, and said, "Then you and these aunts Let's have a good chat, although we are not short of money now, but after all, our family has a big business, and in the future, those who eat and drink, mother should not invite her to our house!"

"That's that, that's that." Before Fang could speak, someone had already helped her to agree. Who is this person?It was Aunt Osmanthus, she said while eating the pastry: "Niece and daughter-in-law, don't worry, with us, those pickled meats will never get close to your mother-in-law."

Liu Man'er saw that this person's face was already so thick, and she didn't want to waste any more time talking with her. She asked Aunt Han Han to bring a bag, put all the pastries in the cloth bag, and handed it to Aunt Osmanthus, saying: "Here, these are for you."

"It's all for me?" Aunt Osmanthus took the pastries, she was overjoyed, and said, "My niece and daughter-in-law are really well-off now, so generous."

"Well, take the pastries and turn left when you go out. Don't come to our house if you have nothing to do in the future." Liu Man'er showed her a smirk without concealing it.

"Ah, you look down on people when you are developed, right?" Aunt Osmanthus was still holding Liu Man'er's cloth bag in her hand, but in the end she had already started to sarcasm.

"Yes." Liu Man'er did not refute, and said, "I don't look down on people, I just look down on you."

Hearing these blunt words, Aunt Osmanthus's face turned red and then turned white. In the past, she heard that this silly lady had become powerful, but she didn't think so, but now that she saw it, she really became very tense.

"Hey, how do you, a junior, talk to your elders? I'm your mother-in-law's friend." Aunt Osmanthus couldn't agree with Liu Man'er, so she looked at Fang and said, "Ruyi, you don't care."

"My mother will take care of me later. Now, get out of here quickly, otherwise, I'll have someone come and drive you out." Liu Man'er said coldly.

"You girl, what are you talking about? You still want to drive me out. There are few things you took from my house before. It's just a few pieces of pastry, and you want to send me away?"

Aunt Osmanthus became more and more reckless, she believed that Liu Man'er's family was well-off, and thought that if she couldn't please her, she would have to tear a piece of skin off her body.

"Do I have any evidence for your things?" Liu Man'er sneered, and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you have evidence, we have no problem with the government. I'm just afraid that you are a false accusation. When the time comes, the county magistrate will Hitting the board."

"You're really good now, and you're even reporting to the officials!" Even though she said this, Aunt Osmanthus was clearly stern.

"Get lost!" Liu Man glared and spit out two words.

Aunt Osmanthus was frightened for no reason, and she didn't want to talk to her any more, but after leaving like this, she felt a little reconciled, looked around, lowered her head, picked up the candied fruit jar that Liu Man'er's family put on the table for guests, and walked away. ran away.

Everyone frowned, this sweet-scented osmanthus was too embarrassing.

"Okay, the person who got in the way has finally left." Liu Man'er clapped her hands, and asked Aunt Han to serve some more pastries, and said: "Aunts chat slowly, as long as they don't gossip, I still welcome a few aunts to come to my mother-in-law Chatting, but if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for driving people away!"

"Okay, Man'er, you go and take the child." Seeing the tense atmosphere, Fang came out to smooth things over.

"Understood." Hearing Fang's words, Liu Man'er's voice softened into that of a girl in an instant, she smiled sweetly at the aunts, and walked away leisurely.

"Your daughter-in-law is really a ghost." After Liu Man'er walked away, an aunt said in a low voice: "She is so powerful, on weekdays, can you control her?"

"Actually, my daughter-in-law listens to me very well, but she doesn't see anyone saying anything bad about me. She just defended me." Fang spoke for Liu Man'er.

"Yeah, you were nice to her before, but she is nice to you now." Aunt Chunhua got along with Liu Man'er quite a lot, so she knew what kind of person she was.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, come on, eat something, this is the candied fruit I bought in Bazhen Pavilion in the county seat, everyone try it, it's so sweet." Fang said with a smile.

The general Fang didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the topic tactfully, and talked about some small things about Li's family, such as whose child got married, who gave birth to a child, and which old man in the village passed away again. up.

Knowing that Fang Shi was not at home during this time, these people told Fang Shi what happened in the village in detail.

When Fang heard it, she was sometimes happy for the married family, sometimes sad for the lost old man, and sometimes sad for other people's unfilial daughter-in-law and fierce parents-in-law.

"I heard that your married son is doing well in Tao's house." After everyone had told the story of the village, they inevitably wanted to talk about Ye Qing's affairs.

"Oh." Fang's heartstrings tightened when he heard Ye Qing's news, but he also learned to pretend, acting like he didn't care.

"That's right, he doesn't come to the hall now, I heard he is the second shopkeeper of Tao's restaurant." Another woman said, "The last time I met him when I was in town, he still greeted me."

"That's right, I've met him a few times, and he's much smarter than before. It's just that everyone knows about him, so it's inevitable that he will be slobbered and ridiculed."

"Let him go, anyway, I have severed ties with him." Fang's words were full of resentment, "I have worked so hard to raise a son, and it is not as good as the daughter-in-law I bought for five cents."

Hearing that Fang's tone had changed, the people present changed the subject and said, "Forget it, anyway, as parents, we want our children to live well. There is no overnight feud between mother and child."

"Well, so I don't hate him either, just let him do as long as he is happy, I don't care." Fang forced a smile.

"Well, that child is a stubborn person. We watched him grow up and knew he was a stubborn person. Such a person is honest and loyal, but he is also easy to be deceived." Everyone In front of him, he didn't want to say bad things about Ye Qing, so he only picked up some good points about Ye Qing.

"Anyway, it's up to him. He's doing well, and I don't want to think about him. If he's doing poorly, don't come to me." Fang said rather coldly: "Now I take care of my grandchildren every day. Whatever, it's fine."

"You're right to think so." The women nodded, and said rather sourly: "Speaking of which, we really envy you. We used to live such a hard life, but now we are ahead of us in the blink of an eye. .”

"Everyone, don't underestimate yourselves. The good times are yet to come." Fang said, "I almost reported to King Yan some time ago. In order to save me, some children were forced to borrow usury, but this is not the case. You made it through."

"That is, that is." All the women responded one after another.

Ever since Aunt Osmanthus was chased away by Liu Man'er, the chatting atmosphere of Fang and the others has improved a lot, but they are a little narrow-minded and dare not say anything more. After all, Fang is the richest person among them. Shops were opened in the county towns, and they subconsciously showed more respect for the rich.

This is also a strange phenomenon in this society, and it is also the normal state of people.

In this countryside, no one has any difficulties. Maybe they will have an urgent need for money at that time, and they will inevitably ask their neighbors to borrow money. She has a little extra money, so everyone who has money will be kind to her.

Especially right now, it is the time when spring is not picking up, and last year they encountered horse bandits, and everyone is now tightening their belts, and they are desperately poor, so when they heard that Liu Man'er's family came back, they wanted to ask if there was anything to do. They still gossip for a long time, but they want to beg Fang for something, but they are a little bit embarrassed, after all, not everyone is as thick-skinned as Aunt Osmanthus.

After sitting down for dinner, Aunt Han served several plates of pastries, and these women felt ashamed. These pastries were so delicious that they unknowingly ate several plates of others, but now It's almost time for dinner, and if you don't leave, it's obvious that you want to stay for dinner, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Aunt Han, cook more food, and let a few aunts have dinner together." Fang felt a little pitiful when she saw the sallow and disheveled faces of these companions. She has been in the country for so many years, so she naturally knows this. What was the countryside like back then.

Speaking of which, she is used to staying in the county town now. She doesn't talk about delicacies every day, but at least she has no worries about food and clothing. She doesn't do anything all day, and sometimes she even feels a little boring. Now that I think about it, this is really Yes, there are some sins.

Compared with them, what a good life she lived, but she was always dissatisfied. Occasionally at night, when she thought of her husband who died young and her two sons, she still felt that her life was miserable. , compared to those old people who have no one to support, she feels that she is really lucky.

I can't catch what I have to go, so let's live the present life well, at least, she still has some thoughts.
