Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 542, old wife
On the branches of the moon, the dimly lit streets, and the people gradually becoming less populated, Dongxing Building finally finished its day's work.

Those who have signed long-term jobs can stay in the store or go home. Lao Guan and Lin Baotou will definitely go home.

Along the way, several old buddies were uncharacteristically silent, even Lao Song, who usually talked a lot, didn't say a word. When they reached the intersection, they parted ways.

Yongding City is not small, but the bustling area is only a small part in the middle, and the rest are old and dilapidated houses.

Because of the presence of the Qiu family, it is difficult for other families to expand their business, but also because of the presence of the Qiu family, there are always leftovers that can be done, just like Lin Baotou's wife, who picks up from the village The fruit and snacks I bought were sold to merchants traveling from north to south near the security bureau to earn some household income, but since the Qiu family collapsed, this income has disappeared.

The house is at the end of a dark alley, different from the brightly lit Dongxing Building, it seems to be in another world, it's just a few roads away, and it's not time to go to bed, but it's already pitch black here, even if he At home, there is no lamp.

With a sound of "squeak", the dilapidated courtyard door was pushed open, and there was a rustling sound in the dark courtyard. After a while, the hazy light reflected through the window paper, swaying, up and down, and the door curtain was swayed. When he opened it, it was his old wife who heard the sound and came to welcome him.

Lin Baotou has two daughters, both of whom are married. There is only one youngest son left in the family. This year, he is thirteen. There is also an old lady with bad legs. She does not go out on weekdays, but she can manage the housework by herself at home, so his wife Shen can go out. to sell something.

"what happened?"

He could tell that something was wrong with Shen Shi just by meeting him, and his face that had been through many vicissitudes could not cover his swollen eyes from crying.

Surprised, Shen hurriedly lowered her face, but her appearance made Lin Bao's head even more anxious.

"What's the matter, tell me, but your natal brother came to ask for money again?"

His hands are tight, and he can't take much money home, but he has status in the Qiu Family Escort Bureau, and his wife's natal family just flattered him, not to mention gifts during the New Year and holidays, and even spent 30 taels of silver for him to give to her natal family Brother arranged to work in the Escort Bureau, who would have thought that not long after he entered, the Escort Bureau would be ruined, and he would become a commoner. This time, how could Shen's natal brother be willing to come to the door every three days to make trouble? But it was really impossible to pay back the money, so I had to swallow my anger.

Who would have thought that Lin Baotou, who was so beautiful outside, would have such a side when he returned home.

"No...Mother accidentally burned her hand while cooking today. It was a bit severe. I have asked the doctor to come and see him, and he prescribed a plaster for the burn."

"What? What's going on, I'll go take a look!"

"Don't go, mother is in severe pain, just fell asleep now, if you wake up, you will suffer again."

Shen has been working all year round, she is only 40 years old, she looks like an old woman, her hands are also covered with calluses, she sighed slightly, endured and endured, her teeth were gritted but she couldn't ask: Do you have money?
Today, the doctor received two taels of silver for these medicines, which is only enough for three days. What happens after three days?
If she didn't speak, how could Lin Baotou not understand?
Looking at the dilapidated state of the house, the virtuous Shen family rarely complained, even if her natal brother blocked the door.

"How is it today? How hard is it to work in the store? It's hard for you. You have to do those drudgery at such an age. Why don't you do it? Why don't you let me do it for you tomorrow?"

"It's not bitter, the wind can't blow, the rain can't be drenched, I am a big man, what is there to suffer?"

"Well, I have something else I want to discuss with you..."

Shen Shi handed over a hand towel and asked the man to wipe his face, and said a little embarrassedly:

"I heard that the Feng family is now recruiting people everywhere, and they are also recruiting apprentices. They only need to be able to read and write. Our Xiao Cong goes out all day, so why not send him to be an apprentice. I heard that he will be provided with food and lodging. There is still a salary of two taels of silver a month, although the money is not much, but it is a business of the Feng family, if you learn it well, you can directly transfer to a regular job, it is one or two taels of silver a month."
