Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 95 Greater Benefits

The night was darker, after dinner, the women cleaned up the dishes and wiped and washed the stove, some diligently chopped pig grass in the darkness, and some men sat around the foot of the tree and chatted.

After this work was over, the crowd at the foot of the tree dispersed, and the whole village became quiet.

In the courtyard of the Su family, a door creaked and opened.

Mrs. Li flashed out from the house and saw a dark figure waiting in the yard. She didn't know how long she had been standing there at night, so she felt a little embarrassed and said, "I thought you were not so fast, why not?" Pat the window."

Shadow shrank back and shook his head.

Mrs. Sun has such a temper, and Mrs. Li didn't say anything.

"Is it accurate?" Mrs. Li asked again.

Because it was late at night, it seemed loud when they spoke a little, so they all deliberately lowered their volume.

The two shadows, one in front of the other, followed each other out of the yard.

Not long after, two shadows appeared on the path leading to the mountain in the northwest corner of the village.

The person in front, carrying a bag in his hand, kept throwing something on the ground, and murmured, "Wu Mei, come back quickly, come back..."

Li Shi, who was following behind, waved the things in his hands and agreed, "I'm back, I'm back."

After working for a while, I went back.

Mrs. Li entered the room with a chill in her body, carefully locked the door, took off her clothes, got into the quilt, but fell into a warm embrace, "Are you done?"

"Why haven't you slept yet? I'm afraid I'll wake you up. Well, I'm busy. Wu Mei will probably be fine." Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mrs. Sun wants to give Wu Mei a soul, she will naturally help.

Li Shi, who gradually calmed down, talked a little more, "You said that Chun'er did such a thing, and mother didn't say anything wrong with her, she was used to it, no wonder the second brother would beat her, this in-law The in-laws have become enemies if they are not careful, and I don't know when the Wei family will come to make amends."

Su Youli tightened his arms, "You don't have to worry, Ban Xia won't do this."

"I know."

gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, when Su Youli got up, Li Shi was still sound asleep, so he got out of bed carefully and put the basket aside.

Ban Xia and Gu Ya'er have also got up.

"Father, didn't you mean to borrow a carriage?" We agreed to send cassava flour to Jufenglou.

Su Youli is a person who doesn't like to bother people, so he has already looked at it carefully. This cassava flour is not easy to get in the first place. It was smashed when it was too old to chew. After obtaining these, he had already spent a lot of selling paste, so he didn't want to borrow any more carriages.

"It's okay, fill the basket with some, put the rest in a sack and stack it on the basket, and it will be there in a few miles." Su Youli said.

Su Youli was used to being busy, and this load was not much, so Ban Xia didn't insist on it anymore.

Ban Xia finished speaking but did not leave, hesitatingly said to Su Youli, "Father, this thing...you remember...one tael of silver per catty."

If you don't make it clear, if Su Youli refuses to take the money, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"What?!" Su Youli was shocked.

Ban Xia looked a little embarrassed.

Su Youli looked at Banxia with reproachful eyes, "Is this made by that cassava? No matter how expensive it is, you can't sell it for a tael, right? It weighs dozens of catties! We don't have such deceit..."

I was really taught a lesson.

Ban Xia kicked her toes, still raised her head and smiled, "Father, Lin'an and the others have been looking for this thing for a long time, they said it happened to be there, you don't know, they said it's for framing paintings, it's an extremely important thing, I was also afraid that we would not sell it to him. If a painting was well mounted, it could sell for thousands of taels of silver, so I didn’t want us to suffer. This thing is not available elsewhere, so we are helping them, and they don’t want it either. We are at a disadvantage, if you don’t take it, then they will think you think it’s too little, isn’t it a good match?”

To put it bluntly, pinellia is always a set.

What's more, one is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. What I sell is not only cassava flour!In this place, the first one can be regarded as something with high technical content.

Seeing Su Youli still looked shocked, and even searched all over the room, thinking that such precious things can't just be put in the basket.

Ban Xia was a little funny, but said, "Father, if you don't like this, you can send this thing over, and the other end will count as much, will it work?"

Su Youli nodded, picked up the burden, and walked out of the courtyard with long legs.

Ban Xia is still immersed in her own imagination, what will she do first when she gets this sum of money?The most important thing at present is naturally to let Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen go to study, and the rest is whether to buy a few acres of land or build a house first.It's probably not enough to build a house with a yard. There is still this branch of the family, so I went out to build a house. Mrs. Su Qian didn't know what to say that she had hidden money in her family...

Just like that, I imagined the future scene there.

"You are Pinellia?" Her voice was hoarse.

Ban Xia followed the sound, and saw a woman with a sharp face, holding a basket in front of her, her eyes staring straight at herself, emitting a fierce light.

How can anyone look at people like this?Taking pictures of Hanako is not enough to take pictures at home, right?Ban Xia was very displeased, but also hummed, why does this person look familiar.

This old lady is none other than Mrs. Wei Zhang. She deliberately chose to come here in the morning. After a night of fermentation, she didn't know what happened.

There must be some people who say they are right and wrong. She was carrying a basket early in the morning, and she said she was visiting her in-laws when she saw anyone. She didn't say anything other than that, and ignored those surprised eyes, which made others puzzled. .

In this village, it is not uncommon for there to be people who are so noisy that they live their lives with their doors closed in the end.

So there are really some uncertainties about the matter between the relatives, and the people in the village are very tactful and don't say anything, they just look at something strange in their eyes. As for what's going on behind the scene, Wei Zhang can't control it for the time being.

At least, you can save face first.

Wei Zhang is still satisfied, anyway, there is another way.

All the way to Su's courtyard.

It happened that Su Youli was picking things out and came in and saw Ban Xia staying in the yard, so she happened to give it a try. If it wasn't for this Ban Xia, her family wouldn't be so passive.

With that kind of gaze, even Mrs. Huang dared not speak in front of her. This little girl, whether she was stupid or not, seemed to have not seen it, and she just hummed and wanted to go back.

There was a smile on Wei Zhang's face, and he became kind in an instant, "Ban Xia, where is your grandma?"

Ban Xia faintly guessed who this person was, and her complexion suddenly turned bad. Wasn't this the person who was there when she and Wu Mei passed by?Now dare to come here this early in the morning, pretending that nothing happened, pretending to show someone!
For the members of the Wei family, Ban Xia's idea is to hide as far away as possible, and not be afraid if they can't hide, but even if they meet, they will never have a good face.

Today is Wumei, can't it be me tomorrow?

With such a chilling method, Ban Xia's eyes also turned cold, and with a cold snort, he turned his head and went back to his room.

A little girl, how dare she flirt with herself? !

Wei Zhang was very unhappy.

But she didn't forget what she was here for today.

The elongated face looked faintly mournful, and he walked quickly two steps to the door of the main room, "Dear family, I'm really ashamed to come to see you—"

Mrs. Su Qian got up early and called up all the daughter-in-laws early.

When Mrs. Wei Zhang entered the yard, Mrs. Su Qian already knew about it, but she just sat still. In her opinion, it was time for Mrs. Wei to beg her.

Sure enough, Wei Zhang called out like this, but she didn't get a response, and her face was a little embarrassed, but she had already prepared for it, and she had imagined worse than this, so naturally she wouldn't be in a stalemate for long.

Still standing at the door and refusing to go in, "Dear family, this is the savage woman who entered the door and tired the whole family, if they are all like Chun'er, why would I have to put up such an old face to come here? I am ashamed to come to see you, but what can I do, there is always someone to bear the burden of the children and grandchildren, such a big mess, how can there be no explanation!"

Wei Zhang's sentence is self-blame, but as long as you think about it carefully, it is not the case.

What did she come for, she made it very clear, came here to give an explanation, if Su Qianshi ignores her, don't blame her after she leaves, and Su Chun'er is still her daughter-in-law, mother-in-law wants to embarrass her daughter-in-law, Not easy?
As soon as these words came out, it was impossible for Su Qian to really disappear. If he left, it would be a matter of money!How could she still sit still.

"Do you really want to kill our family? I have lost my conscience. I shouldn't have put my daughter into your fire pit. Now that she can't get out of it, it's fine. Even my good-looking granddaughter has to plan. Pity my family." Wu Mei never blush with others, but now she's talking about robbing someone else's marriage, ouch, how can she live like this!" The moment Su Qian spoke, she showed an unstoppable posture.

Wei Zhang secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, this old fellow!Others don't know, they think she loves her own children and granddaughters, and it's not just for the sake of gain.

As he spoke, he naturally entered the door.

When talking about splashing, Su Qian may feel that she is invincible, but when it comes to playing tricks, she is not Wei Zhang's opponent at all.

No, in just a few words, Wei Zhang brought it into his own words.

"My in-laws are also the fault of their faults. I feel sorry for this. The beating of gongs and drums is of no benefit to you. If it is said, others don't know what to think. Wu Mei is still a child. Such a Propaganda is not good, other people's mouths are so white that they can be called black, and it is passed around, and it is not good to discuss marriage with her." Wei Zhang said.

Mrs. Su Qian snorted coldly, "You don't want to do it? You have to worry about it this time? Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and beat the gongs and drums to make an apology, and send the money, but you promised yourself!"

Silver is what matters.

Wei Zhang smiled, and patted the back of Su Qian's hand, "Dear family, if it wasn't for the great benefits, how dare I come to the door like this, wait for me to tell you in detail, you understand, these few taels of silver , why would you pay attention to it?"
