Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 176

Of course, Mai Xiang didn't hear Li Shi's cry. At this time, Mai Xiang was sitting on the kang, confronting Liu Shi.

"I've already told your father that this is not okay." Seeing that Mai Xiang was getting into trouble with her, Mrs. Liu knew that she couldn't escape today.

"Mom, I want to know why it doesn't work? Isn't it natural for the eldest son to adopt his parents?"

"If you don't succeed, you won't succeed. That's all I have to say." Mrs. Liu began to be unreasonable.

"Grandpa, what do you think?"

"Son, you should listen to your mother about this matter. You are still young, so you shouldn't worry about these things." Ye Tiezhu naturally knew his wife's heart disease.

"Grandpa, I shouldn't worry about this. I just feel sorry for the fifth aunt. The doctor said that the fifth aunt is too tired, her body is not good, and she can't keep up with food. In addition, she is always afraid and always wants to eat. This matter, so it is not easy to have children, no, I am also doing a good deed to accumulate virtue?"

"What kind of nonsense is this? Whose daughter-in-law should not serve her mother-in-law when she enters the house? When your mother first entered the house, there was only one daughter-in-law, and she was doing all the work in the house alone. Your mother gave birth not long after. For you, this is the first time I heard that she can't conceive a child, and she is relying on her mother-in-law to order her around? Did she complain to you for something?" When Liu Shi mentioned Li Shi, he became angry and always felt that he Being cheated, ten taels of silver buys a maid to come in, doesn't she have to do everything?

"Mommy, this person is different from other people. Don't you know what kind of temperament my mother is? Mommy, I'm here today. Let's talk about it. I know. You are worried about the future. My uncle's marriage to his daughter-in-law and my aunt's marriage are two major events. Although I didn't discuss it with my fifth and eighth uncles, I have read the account books for this year. My fifth and eighth uncles earned more than 50 taels of silver this year. Now, among them is Uncle Wu’s 40 taels. Is this good? Uncle Wu’s more than 40 taels of silver should be given to Mammy. In this way, Mammy can pay back the money Mammy spent on Uncle Wu’s wedding, right? This money will be reserved for the old aunt to buy a dowry in the future, and the mother has saved almost ten taels of silver by doing needlework with the old aunt for more than half a year, right? Mother, you should calculate this account, when the old aunt gets married, your hands Is there almost 100 taels of silver in it?"

"Where do I have so much money?" Mrs. Liu was a little unhappy, feeling that Mai Xiang had found out all about her family.

"Grandmother, all your money is passed through my hand, and I have accounts to check in my hand. Sister, I know that you are not in good health, so you live with us. There are women and maids at home, and you have nothing to do. Don’t worry, just do some sewing when you’re happy, and go out for a visit when you’re not happy. Grandpa doesn’t have to go to the field anymore. If you want, you can follow my father to play with those rabbits, sheep and fruit trees at home. If you don’t want to, just Walk around with my aunt."

"Mai Xiang, tell me the truth, is it because your fifth aunt can no longer have children? You are afraid that we will divorce her, so you tricked us into separating them so that we can leave them alone?" Liu suddenly flashed thought.

Mrs. Liu knew that Mai Xiang had always been close to Wu Fu and Mrs. Li, so she probably didn't want Mrs. Li to leave.Otherwise, there is no reason to have to find the burden for yourself.

"Mommy, this is really not the case. My elder sister Fujin also gave birth to a child only five years after marriage, and she was still a pair of twins all her life, so maybe my fifth aunt will be able to have one soon."

"Let's not talk about this question now, but now I'm asking whether you will go to Dafuna?" Ye Tiezhu asked.

Ye Tiezhu was a little tempted. He knew that Mai Xiang gave Ye Dafu 1000 taels of silver to buy land. Ye Tiezhu silently calculated that this could buy hundreds of acres of land, not counting the rabbits, sheep and shops at home. business, the life of the eldest family need not worry.

"This?"

"Mommy, do you think my aunt can find a good family by following us or by following you?" Mai Xiang threw out another heavy bait, and she didn't believe that Mrs. Liu was not tempted.

Sure enough, when Liu Shi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he forgot how old Mai Xiang was, so he hurriedly asked, "Can you find a good family for your old aunt?"

"Mother, how old am I? I'm just saying, if someone comes to a blind date, will they be tempted by seeing my family's conditions or seeing your old courtyard?"

"Of course it's your house. My child, tell the mother the truth. It won't do you any good if you do this. Ordinary people can't push it away. Why do you want to take these things?" I want to understand, what about Mai Xiangtu?
In fact, Mai Xiang has considered this issue more than once, how much trouble it will bring to herself if she takes over Ye Tiezhu and Liu's husband and wife.

Basically don't care about Bafu, he is busy in the shop all day long, and his food and accommodation are all there. After a few years of marriage, he will have money to share, so he certainly doesn't need to worry about Mai Xiang.

Jiufeng's troubles are more serious, Mai Xiang's family will have to support her for several years, and they are afraid that they will have to accompany her as a dowry after they get married.

As for Ye Tiezhu and Mrs. Liu, they were originally Ye Dafu's parents. Although they left Ye Dafu's family at a critical moment, there was no other way. At least they gave most of their family money to Mai Xiang. , Mai Xiang can't force it.After all, in that situation, they can't support the family even if they don't separate the family. This human nature is always selfish.

With Ye Dafu's conditions today, he can't afford to support two such people.

"Grandma, it's really not good for me, but my grandma and grandpa are not others, they are my father's parents, that's enough."

"Son, grandpa promises you. In the past, your father often talked about your kindness, but I still didn't believe it. After hearing what you said today, grandpa knew. As usual, grandpa wrongly blamed you. You plan for this family so much. I and I Your nanny really lived this age in vain, and a teenage girl like you can't see through it." Ye Tiezhu was moved by Mai Xiang.

"Really? Grandpa, shall I go find my fifth uncle and fifth aunt?" Mai Xiang stood up excitedly.

"Go, go." Ye Tiezhu waved his hand without waiting for Liu Shi to speak.

Mai Xiang opened the door and saw that there was a crowd of people outside.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, who are you?"

"Big girl, tell third uncle the truth, do you really want to take your grandparents over?"

"Of course, it's all agreed. By the way, the second uncle and the third uncle go to sit on the kang, and I will call the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt."

"Let me go, your fifth aunt is crying." Mrs. Sun hurriedly responded, then turned around and shouted: "Fifth brother, fifth sibling, parents are looking for you."

Mrs. Li listened in the room, and the tears she had just dried came out again, and she tugged at Wu Fu's clothes, not wanting to let go.

"Okay, let's go and find out what's going on first, don't worry, no matter what, I won't divorce you." Wu Fu wiped away his wife's tears distressedly.

"Come out, Da Ya is waiting too." Seeing that there was no movement, Sun yelled again.

"Let me go and have a look." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she took a few steps to the door of Wufu.

"Uncle Wu, can I come in?"

As soon as Mai Xiang finished speaking, Wu Fu opened the door.

"Uncle Wu, I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you, so I told Mommy to let you go out and live alone, but the previous money is gone, Uncle Wu won't blame me, right?"

"What are you talking about? Separation?" Wu Fu and Li Shi asked at the same time, how is this possible?

"Let's go, grandpa and nanny are still waiting." Mai Xiang smiled, naturally not ignoring the tears on Li's face.

Wu Fu didn't care about Mrs. Li, so he ran to the upper room and asked, "Father, mother, what's going on?"

"What's the matter? You ask Mai Xiang." Mrs. Liu was still holding her breath.

"Old woman, why are you not as good as a child? Why are you doing this? It's not for Wufu couple. Who are Wufu? Not your son? You don't even hope for your own son?" Ye Tiezhu stared He glanced at Mrs. Liu.

"Father, what's going on?" Wu Fu still didn't believe that his father and mother would agree to the fact that they separated.

"Your mother and I took your old sister to live with your eldest brother's family. Here, I will leave it to you two for the time being. When you two have saved enough money and are willing to build a new house, we will talk about it. As for you The little money earned in a year will be kept as a dowry for your sister, are you willing?"

Although Ye Tiezhu agreed to distribute Wu Fu, he didn't want Wu Fu to take the money away, mainly because he knew that Wu Fu was skillful, and following Mai Xiang, the money would definitely be earned back quickly, but Jiufeng was different.

"Father, you are really ruthless. Are you going to give Feng'er all the money earned by Fifth Brother as a dowry?" San Fu asked.

"It's so easy to say that we are biased, and how much it cost to marry your fifth brother. Today, while you are all here, I will clarify this matter and say that Wufu earned all the money back. From now on, this matter will be up to you. Who is still talking about it?" Liu said.

"Father, mother, don't split up. It was agreed at the beginning. I will take care of my parents. How can I pass the responsibility to my elder brother?" Wu Fu knew that Mai Xiang took the job for him, so he hurriedly refused.

"Uncle Wu, don't rush to refuse. Listen to me, my father and mother should support Grandpa and Nanny, but Grandpa and Nanny are also the parents of several uncles, so you still share the food equally. Grandpa and Nanny Mammy will live with us in the big new house for a few days, and when the uncles build a new house, they will take Grandpa and Mammy to live there for a few days, so that Grandpa and Mammy can take turns to live in the new house. "Mai Xiang laughed.

"Should be, should be, fifth, let's do this first, Da Ya is also for your own good." Er Fu said.

He also lay outside the door and listened for a long time. What Mai Xiang said moved him a little bit, and he felt that Mai Xiang was as kind as his elder brother Ye Dafu.

"That's what it means." Ye Tiezhu nodded in satisfaction. As a parent, who wouldn't want to see their children be filial and kind?

"Mai Xiang, Uncle Wu thank you very much." Wu Fu patted Mai Xiang's head.

"It's okay. It's easy for Fifth Uncle to really thank me. I haven't got any firewood for my family this winter."

"This is easy to handle. After the autumn harvest is over, the three of us will go to the mountain twice, and we will definitely prepare everything for you." Er Fu said hurriedly.

"Success, then thank you uncles. Grandparents, pack up your things and move here in a day or two." Mai Xiang saw that her goal had been achieved, and she didn't want to stay for a long time.
