Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 231
Because Mai Xiang was too surprised, her voice was inevitably a little louder. Liu couldn't help frowning, thinking that Mai Xiang was still Zhao's daughter after all, and she couldn't get rid of her temperament.

Also, in the past few months, Mai Xiang left the three of them in the city regardless, because Wufu was supporting the family. Liu felt a little bit uncomfortable, because she felt that Mai Xiang did this on purpose.

In addition, Bafu said that he hadn't saved enough money to marry a wife, and Liu attributed the responsibility to Mai Xiang, feeling that Mai Xiang had treated Bafu badly, and Jiufeng often talked about Maixiang in front of her in those days. Bad words such as stingy, stingy, and so on, combined these few times, Liu's usual favor for Mai Xiang has been reduced by a little bit, and she has forgotten who she can rely on to live today.

"What's wrong with the housekeeper's daughter? I've inquired, and she's not a servant." Liu said unhurriedly.

"Mommy, you should discuss this matter with my eighth uncle. As a niece, how can I go to ask about my uncle's marriage? If word spreads, people will laugh at our family."

Mai Xiang naturally heard Liu's dissatisfaction, and she didn't intend to intervene in this matter in front of Liu's face, she could only do work from Bafu.

"By the way, your Mammy Wan knew you were here, and she said that she was waiting for Brother Yuan to go on vacation, and she would also set up a few tables of wine in Fuyun, and invite our whole family to have a meal. Also, your Mammy Wan knew that we were here This Chinese New Year, I specially sent people to deliver several truckloads of coal."

"Understood." Mai Xiang couldn't help becoming a little irritable when she heard this. She really didn't like Wan Jia's pervasiveness.

Seeing Mai Xiang lazily responding, Mrs. Liu thought that Mai Xiang was dissatisfied with her, and was about to get up and leave, but suddenly remembered that she still wanted to ask Mai Xiang, so she had to sit down again with restraint. Who told her son to be empty-handed? Woolen cloth?

"Mai Xiang, Mammy also has the difficulties of Mammy, and you are also going to enter Wan's house. If Madam Wan took the initiative to deliver things to the door, I can't let her take it back again. Also, if someone said they wanted to treat guests, I would also I can't say no to it, and the relationship between the two families is like that, I'm really afraid that it will be messed up, and it won't do you any good in the future."

"Mother, where are you going? You need everything you want, and you don't have much money for a few carts of coal. I don't mean to blame you." Mai Xiang said quickly.

"That's good. I thought it was the nanny who did something wrong to make you unhappy. By the way, I heard that you will take Maihuang and the others to the street tomorrow. I thought, your old lady is not young You should have two good clothes to wear when you go out. Otherwise, what would you look like when you go out and she is dressed in tatters alone? Why don’t you take your old aunt and let her choose some clothes? jewelry."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Nurse, the clothes on my aunt's body are better than those of Mai Huang, but her clothes are still tattered, so what are those of Mai Huang?"

"Aren't Mai Huang still young? Your aunt will be fourteen next year, how many years will she be at home? Take her to pick out some good clothes, and next year she can go to see a good family." My little girl had no choice but to hold back and argue with Mai Xiang.

"Mommy, my aunt has a lot of good clothes. I have not lost my respect for her in a year. I know that every time the Wan family comes to give New Year's gifts, there is no shortage of your clothes."

"You child, I'm talking about buying two good clothes. The clothes Wanjia gave us are all the most common and cheapest silks, and the colors don't suit her well. Where can I get your clothes?" Liu said After speaking, he specifically looked at Mai Xiang, and then at the kang.

Mai Xiang was wearing a bright yellow brocade padded jacket with tufted patterns. Her current good clothes were all prepared and sent to her by Uradomin. There was also a mink coat that had just been taken off on the kang. The cover is pink brocade brocade embroidered with gold and silver threads, revealing a circle of wind feathers outside.

This was specially put on by Mai Xiang in order to enter the Prince's Mansion. Normally, she herself wears cotton clothes at home.

"Nurse, don't you want me to buy those brocades that cost a few taels or even tens of taels of silver for my aunt?" Mai Xiang asked when she saw Mrs. Liu staring at her clothes in a daze.

"It shouldn't be so expensive, just pick the ones she likes that are cheaper." Although Liu is not sure how much money Mai Xiang can earn a year, she knows that Ye Dafu bought hundreds of acres of land. Xiang's annual rent is also several hundred taels, plus the things that Ye Dafu raised, the two shops and those toothbrushes, Liu estimates conservatively that the eldest son's family can have 800 taels, and spend a dozen or so taels of silver for her. Dear little girl, isn't that too much?

"Mommy, my aunt and you can earn over twenty dollars a year, and you have nothing else to spend your money on. If my aunt likes to buy whatever she likes, she will buy it herself."

"What is her little money enough for? You have to keep some for emergencies, right?" Seeing that she was still rejected after talking for a long time, Mrs. Liu was a little annoyed.

In fact, when Ye Dafu came yesterday, Mrs. Liu had already told Ye Dafu to ask Ye Dafu to give money to buy Jiufeng's clothes, because Jiufeng will be fourteen in the next year, but Ye Dafu has no money at all. All the loose money is in Mai Huang's hands, and the big money is in Mai Xiang's hands, so Liu has no choice but to come to Mai Xiang.

Mrs. Liu had already thought about it a long time ago. It would be best if the little money she and Jiufeng earned would not be moved, and would be reserved for Jiufeng's dowry, because after Jiufeng left the cabinet, she would no longer have an excuse to ask her natal brother for money, but That child is also a pampered child, except for a little needlework, she can do nothing else, so Mrs. Liu had to think more about her.

"Grandma, to be honest, I should have an account in my heart about how I treat the Ye family. I don't need to talk about the fifth uncle and the eighth uncle. I don't even take care of the second uncle and the third uncle, and you and There are two grandfathers, not to mention food and clothing, including medical treatment. Although it was agreed when the family was separated, each family will share equally, but my father is the eldest son, and I will take you over without saying a word. Dad took it all by himself. Even if the family was divided under such circumstances, I did not treat the Ye family badly for my father's sake." Seeing that Mrs. Liu was annoyed, Mai Xiang planned to have a good talk with her Pull this question.

"This is the condition you agreed upon when you picked us up, and you are not far behind now. Besides, not only us, but your grandma also borrowed money." Liu's face was a little ugly.

"The Zhao family is different from the Ye family. My mother still complains about me! My grandma has seen what my grandma is wearing. What kind of work are my cousins ​​doing? Mama knows it too. I won’t say anything if it’s too much. I can support you and grandpa, and I can take care of my aunt for a few years, but you can figure out other expenses for my aunt. Also, my fifth and eighth uncles are also It’s not like my aunt doesn’t have the ability to earn money to support myself. Besides, mommy often teaches me to eat as much as I want, and don’t always look at the height of the mountain.”

Mai Xiang is also angry, so when she speaks, she doesn't care. She feels that she has done well enough, and she usually gives Jiufeng things, so why bother to plot against her?When she was poor, why didn't Mrs. Liu say that she couldn't make a new dress for her because she was in tatters, which dress was not given to her by Jiufeng when she was worn out?At that time, it was Mai Xiang's father Ye Dafu who made money in the family!
Also, why did Ye Dafu's leg break?She should also suffer and learn a little lesson, right?Without this condition, it is necessary to be so pampered, what good can a girl be if she is too vain?
Mrs. Liu never dreamed that Mai Xiang's speech would be so ruthless. She was an old man, and she was so scolded by her granddaughter. Her face was red and white. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But he couldn't speak, so he twisted the veil angrily and left.

After Mrs. Liu left, Mai Xiang remembered that she seemed to have a heart attack, so he couldn't be mad at her for something, right?This is a serious crime. Thinking of this, she followed behind Shih Liu and saw Shih Liu enter Ye Dafu's room. After a while, she heard the sound of weeping coming from inside.

Mai Xiang didn't go in.

The next morning, as soon as Mai Xiang woke up, she saw Ye Dafu sitting on the edge of her kang, looking at herself, a little startled.

"Father, when did you come in?" Seeing Ye Dafu's strange expression, Mai Xiang felt a little guilty when she remembered Liu's crying last night. After all, Liu was Ye Dafu's biological mother, and Ye Dafu was A person with the most filial piety.

"Father, are you blaming me?" Mai Xiang asked again without waiting for Ye Dafu's answer.

"It snowed last night. I got up early and looked at the white outside the window. I thought it was dawn, so I got up. I couldn't sleep when I got up. I was thinking of you, so I came in to see you." Ye Dafu looked at Mai Xiang, his eyes There is a particularly painful tangle.

"Father, do you want to talk about my old aunt? Last night I said something I shouldn't have said. The main reason is that I think my old aunt is too ignorant. I won't talk about things before, and I'm still so used to it now. Looking at her, wanting something better after having a good one is a bottomless pit, isn't Mammy afraid that she will be like Ziju?"

"Mai Xiang, Dad doesn't mean to blame you. What Dad wants to say is that Dad is very lucky to have a daughter like you. Under your guidance, Mai Huang and the others have learned very well, are very obedient, and very sensible. Mai Huang Now in front of the family, you are somewhat shrewd."

"Oh? Dad really didn't come to blame me?" Mai Xiang was really surprised by this result.

"Of course not." Ye Dafu smiled bitterly.

"Father, how about this, you are going to make Mama happy, and take ten taels of silver from me." Mai Xiang thought for a while and said.

She really couldn't bear to embarrass Ye Dafu, and she didn't miss the ten taels of silver. She was just angry last night and didn't think about the consequences.

"No need, Dad actually has money. Mai Huang gave me a pocket money a month. I haven't used it much in the past two years. I just think that what you said makes sense. I can't get too used to her."

"Where is dad coming?"

Mai Xiang didn't understand, what was Ye Dafu still struggling with, what was the bitterness?
　Sorry, the second update will start today, thank you.
