Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 221 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
Mrs. Liu is no longer willing to be under the same roof with Mrs. Yu, but the other party has followed him to the capital, and there is no reason to kick him out. Besides, Mrs. Liu is not in charge of this family.

"Mai Xiang, find a quieter room for Mammy. Mammy feels light, and she will get a headache when she makes a noise."

Liu supported her forehead and said to Mai Xiang, she was not in good health, she was in a carriage for two hours, her whole body seemed to be falling apart, there was no way, if it wasn't for Jiufeng, she wouldn't be bothered to suffer this.

"Mai Xiang, you can just arrange a room for grandma. Grandma is not pretentious, she can live anywhere." Yu said hurriedly.

She is a heartless person, after saying this, she happily started to visit, she could wring out water without seeing Liu Shi's face at all.

"Mother, I'll take you back to the house to rest." Seeing her mother-in-law's displeasure, Mrs. Li hurried forward and said.

"Where's my little grandson?" Only then did Liu remember that he had been listening to Yu's nagging since he entered the door, and he hadn't seen Mai Lang yet.

When Li Shi heard this, her eye circles were a little red. She thought that Liu Shi didn't want to see her, and she also didn't want to see this grandson.

"Oh, my fifth aunt, if you didn't speak like this, I wouldn't dare to recognize you, tsk tsk, look at this skinny and tender, she really looks like a city person, and this dress is really pretty, tsk tsk , the beaded flowers on your head are really pretty, you can see that you are a rich man in the city." Only then did Shi Yu notice Li Shi, and hurriedly pulled Li Shi to chat enthusiastically.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she remembered that her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with what she was wearing last time when she went back to the countryside, so she waved her hands in fright and said, "I don't usually dress like this, this is what I wear when I come out to meet guests. Yes, I came out in a different outfit, no, you came right after they left."

"Okay, what is Moji doing? Where is the child? Let's go and see the child first." Seeing Li's attire, Mrs. Liu felt a little displeased. She felt that this daughter-in-law hadn't learned how to make money yet. Then she learned to prodigal, but in front of outsiders, she had to save some face for her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, I don't know what good things you brought for my little brother this time?" Seeing Mrs. Liu staring at Mrs. Mai Xiang, she hurriedly stepped forward to help round the scene, and helped Mrs. Liu into Mrs. Li's room. In the house, Hongye is helping to take care of the children.

"What good things can I have?" After Liu said, she still took out a small silver lock from her sleeve pocket, put it around the child's neck, and picked up the child.

"This child is exactly the same as his father when he was young." Seeing the white and fat little grandson, Liu Shi finally had a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you, mother." Mrs. Li did not expect that Mrs. Liu would prepare a silver lock for the child, and moreover, she seemed to be very rare about this grandson.

Not only did Mrs. Liu not expect it, but so did Mai Xiang, because in Mai Xiang's impression, Mrs. Liu really didn't love these grandchildren. At least, she never saw Mrs. Liu hugging any grandchildren.

"Old lady, come, show me what this little grandson looks like." Standing behind Mrs. Liu, Ye Tiezhu also stretched out his hand to hug this little grandson.

"Father, our Ye family has really blossomed, why don't we find a time to fix the family tree, Huai Ci is now a scholar, and we don't need to invite outsiders." Ye Dafu is also rare to see his parents like a grandchild so much , Thinking of Ye Tiezhu's wish.

"Okay, okay, it's time to build a family tree. I didn't expect that the Ye family can spread branches and leaves in my hands. It is really the protection of the ancestors, the protection of the ancestors." Ye Tiezhu said excitedly when he heard that he could repair the family tree I can't say enough.

Mai Xiang is not interested in this. She is a girl and is not eligible to be included in the family tree, so she pulled Mai Huang out to see if the meal was ready.

"Why did grandma come to our house?" Mai Xiang asked.

"I'm not a mother yet, because I was thinking about coming to the capital, and I went to send some food and pocket money to my grandma. Who knew that my grandma was also tempted when she heard it. She said that she hadn't been to the capital for 30 years. Auntie is because of the big My uncle came home and said we were going to the city, and asked my second cousin to pack up and go with us, but my aunt was worried, and just said that she had never been to the capital, so she brought her cousin along."

"Did you say how long you plan to stay?"

"No. Sister, shall we go shopping for Cousin Ziju?" Mai Huang asked.

She remembered that last year, Mai Xiang took them and Jiufeng to go shopping, Mai Xiang bought a lot of things for Jiufeng and spent a lot of money, still thinking of Mai Huang still feels a little distressed.That must be how many rabbits Ye Dafu sells in exchange for money.

"Here, I need to buy some. After all, she is also a child of my aunt's family. When she gets married, my mother also needs to add makeup. Let's pay this money for my mother."

Mai Xiang doesn't want to teach Mai Huang and the others to become snobbish little people who only value money but not family affection, so she will teach them some principles of life anytime and anywhere.

"But I don't like Auntie and Cousin Ziju, and I don't like Grandma either. All day long, I just say that we are living a good life, and I don't care about them at all, as if our family's money was picked up for nothing?" Mai Qing said angrily. .

"I don't like it either, but they are my mother's family. We only do what we should do. Didn't the eldest sister say that it's okay to take the initiative to suffer a little loss, and if you are bullied and suffer a lot, then we will stop doing it."

"Sister, what do you mean being bullied and suffering a lot?" Mai Lu asked.

"This, the eldest sister will teach you slowly in the future." Mai Xiang smiled, and she remembered Guan Nanny's words, "It's better to be bad, it's better to be bad, and not to be bullied if you are bad."

Mai Xiang never thought that this opportunity would come so soon.

The next day, just after breakfast, Mai Xiang hadn't left the table yet, but Dachun said, "Dear girl, I heard that my grandson opened a silk shop, and it happened that your cousin Ziju wanted to buy some materials for her dowry. You lead us to have a look."

After Mai Xiang heard this, she glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao quickly lowered her head. She didn't dare to show her mother's money to Mai Xiang, because it wouldn't work.

"Okay, if there is anything else you want to buy, let's think about it together. I usually seldom go out for shopping in this hot day."

Mai Xiang is telling the truth, she is afraid of the sun, because she is not beautiful in the first place, her skin was still dark when she came here, and she has grown her skin in the past two years. Once this person is fair, she will naturally look more attractive up.

"The left is just some clothes and jewelry, what else is there, you know what's fashionable in the city, you can take us to pick a few." Dachun said.

When Mai Xiang heard the other party's tone so loud, she thought about it and asked directly.

"I don't know how much money my aunt brought to buy my cousin's dowry?"

"It's okay, we came this time and brought ten taels of silver with us, spend whatever you want." Dachun said proudly.

Mai Xiang smiled, but before opening her mouth, she saw Jiufeng sneering aside: "Sister, do you know how much the cheapest silk is? Do you know how much the cheapest gold hairpin in the silver building is? "

"Feng, shut up, is this something your family should worry about as a child?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu quickly slapped her daughter a few times.

Mai Xiang also dislikes Jiufeng looking down on people like this, although she herself doesn't like Dachun.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, what money is needed for my shop, I will let Da Ya give me the clothes, and also, our Ziju has a second aunt who is taking advantage of the money, why don't you give me some decent ones?" Dowry?" Yu Shi was not happy that her daughter was laughed at by an outsider, so she pulled Mai Xiang and Zhao Shi out.

"Mother, I don't have much money in my hand." Mrs. Zhao muttered dissatisfiedly.

Mrs. Zhao has a sling of pocket money every month, and she basically gives this money to her mother, Mrs. Yu, because she has almost no place to spend it herself.Knowing her daughter's situation, Yu still spoke like this, obviously because she wanted Mai Xiang to fight for her.

"Let's go, go early if you want to go." Mai Xiang said noncommittally, urging Mai Huang and the others to change clothes.

"Mai Xiang, I'll go with you too." Jiufeng said aside, ignoring Liu's hint.

"Follow me if you want." Mai Xiang knew that she was a shopaholic, so she might have her own ideas.

Rui Jinxiang was the first to arrive. When Mai Xiang went, there was no one in the shop. At this time, it was the off-season for sales, and the shopkeepers were all idle.

The shopkeeper already knew Mai Xiang, and when he saw Mai Xiang, he rushed forward to greet him, and asked respectfully, "Miss, are you here to buy clothes or something else?"

"My cousin got married in the twelfth lunar month. I want to pick two more festive ones. Which guy would you like to introduce to me?"

Unexpectedly, Yushi, Dachun, and Ziju, who had been dazzled by the colorful materials on the shelves, followed the clerk, and within a quarter of an hour, they actually picked out seven or eight materials, all of which were the best in the store. Even Jiufeng chose two pieces of yarn for expensive fabrics.

"Big ya, can you really give me all these?" Ziju smiled excitedly at Maixiang.In this life, she can finally choose a few beautiful pieces of clothing according to her own will, but she forgot that she is still shy in her pocket.

"Cousin, the most important thing to be a human being is to have self-knowledge. You must do what you say and do according to your ability under what conditions. Look at the conditions of the family. Let’s not talk about the conditions of your family. Have you ever thought about it? Your in-law’s family is not very rich. The family only has a hundred and eighty acres of land, and there is not even a maid. A long-term worker, after you get married, it would be nice to have two silk clothes to support the scene. Look at the white lady of the eldest family in our village. Her family's conditions are much better than your in-law's family, and she is only on New Year's Day and important occasions. I only wear silk clothes, usually cotton."

"It's fine if you don't want to give it away. If there are any others, you'll give me a lot of training. At worst, I'll buy it myself." Ziju was angry.

"Shopkeeper, tell her how much money she wants?" Mai Xiang also became angry.

She still doesn't believe it, she won't be a veterinarian if she can't treat this little girl today.
