Invincible son

Chapter 121 120 [Heartless]

One night, I had a dream without trace.

When Pei Yue woke up, there was no trace of Taohua around him.

Although he was a little tired after being drunk, but thinking of his vow last night, he still cheered up and got up from the bed.When he came to the outside room, there was a kettle wrapped in a winter basket in the washing place, Pei Yue stretched out his hand, and the side of the kettle was warm.There are clean handkerchiefs hanging on the shelf next to it, and the prepared toiletries are placed below.

Pei Yue was a hot new star in the business world in his previous life, and he still needed to make a living by himself.

Now he is just a bastard with a white body, but he lives a life with clothes to eat and mouth to eat.

Life is often so wonderful.

After washing up, Pei Yue was about to go out when he saw Taohua walk in timidly.

Pei Yue subconsciously looked at her.

Although there was no obscene emotion in his eyes, the little maid still lowered her head unconsciously, her cheeks were a little flushed early in the morning, she was not as confident as last night.

"Master." Tao Hua walked to Pei Yue and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Pei Yue turned and looked at her.

Taohua's eyes dodged a little, as if she was fighting fiercely in her heart, and said hesitantly: "Master, don't get me wrong, I don't want to control you, and it's not that I can't recognize my identity, but there are some things I've been thinking about for the past two days. I think, I think I still have to tell the young master..."

Pei Yue was amused by her, and asked curiously: "What's all this mess? What are you trying to say?"

Tao Hua mustered up the courage to look up at him, and said earnestly, "Master, our family is almost out of money."

"No money?"

After coming to Lvliuzhuang, Pei Yue received several windfalls, including 5000 taels donated by Pei Taijun, 3000 taels spit out by Cheng Guang, and 5000 taels paid by Li Zijun.As for expenditures, 1000 taels were given to Gu Fan, 200 taels were rewarded to the village households, and 2000 taels were paid to all village households after the bandits attacked at night. These are three relatively large expenditures.In addition, counting the rewards and daily expenses in the first half of the year, when Pei Yue left Zhuangzi on the eighth day of September, he counted the silver deposits, and there were still more than [-] taels.

This is still a huge sum of money, and in any case it has nothing to do with having no money.

At the end of the year, the householders handed over this year's rent, and more than a thousand taels will be credited to the account at that time. Pei Yue felt that at least he didn't have to worry about daily expenses.

Tao Hua took out the wooden box that Wen Yu had given her from the bedroom, sat at the table and opened it, counted the bank notes in front of Pei Yue, and finally said with a sad face: "Master, when I left, there were still 2000 banknotes at home." 300 taels of silver bills, now there are only more than 5000 taels left, and nearly [-] taels were spent in just over a month."

Pei Yue was a little surprised.

It wasn't because of the number that Tao Hua said, but what he thought was that during the month since he left, his family had actually used up 800 taels of silver.

Before leaving, he handed over the money to Mr. Xi for safekeeping. Logically speaking, there should be no problem with this, but Taohua would not lie to him.

According to his customary calculation, the 800 taels of silver are approximately equal to nearly 30 yuan.

Does Mr. Xi go to Kyoto every day to visit brothels?
Taohua didn't give a shit, and continued: "Sir told me that the family spent 800 taels of silver this month, mainly on Deng Zai and the others, including the purchase of high-quality weapons, daily food materials and a lot of medicinal materials."

Pei Yue came to sit down opposite Taohua, the surprised expression on his face gradually faded.

Of course he has heard of the principle of poor culture and rich military, and after he specifically told him before he left, Mr. Xi would not train those eighteen teenagers as guards, but train them according to their own characteristics as much as possible.

The higher the level, the higher the corresponding investment, and Pei Yue understands this truth.

What's more, what he wants to train is not one or two people, but a total of eighteen half-children who are in the rapid development stage.

It is not easy for ordinary people to raise a teenager, but it is not so easy to feed these eighteen mouths.

Although Pei Yue is not so painful, as Tao Hua said, the money is spent faster, and relying on the small rent from the farmers, I am afraid that he will soon be unable to make ends meet.

Mr. Xi clearly trains these eighteen teenagers as future generals. If this model is cheap, those martial arts generals will not decline. In many cases, it is precisely because of lack of money that the heirs cannot receive a good education.Not to mention whether these teenagers can all become successful in the future, at least for now they need Pei Yue's constant input.

Throttling is difficult, that can only be open source.

Pei Yue comforted Tao Hua and said, "For the time being, the family can survive. Those boys are very important and I will use them in the future, so I have to continue to spend this money."

Taohua didn't refute him, but said cautiously: "Young master's important matter must be important, but I want to tell young master, we must find a way to earn money, otherwise our family will be in trouble in the future."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "It's good that you have such thoughts. I will only be happy when you say it. Why did you hesitate like that just now?"

Taohua immediately blushed, lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes.

After Pei Yue thought about it for a while, it suddenly dawned on her that the little girl thought that after last night, she would be considered the young master's roommate, so she would not be able to speak out about Pei Yue's affairs as before.

This is really...

Pei Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In his previous life, he was just a junior high school girl with little experience in the world. Didn't he think too much?
Seeing that Tao Hua was already full of embarrassment, he didn't make fun of it, but only comforted: "Don't worry, I will find a solution."

Tao Hua showed joy, nodded heavily and said: "Yes!"

Before leaving, Pei Yue suddenly asked, "What are you going to do in the future?"

Tao Hua looked at him puzzled, and Pei Yue said seriously: "You didn't know there was a family member before, so I didn't take care of this matter, but now that you recognize your mother, don't you ever see her again?"

Taohua was caught in a tangle immediately, and the expression on her small face was slightly painful.

She hesitated and said: "I don't want to leave the young master. If there is no young master to protect me, maybe I would have been tortured to death long ago."

Pei Yue sighed lightly, and did not continue to persecute her, but said with a gentle expression: "As long as you don't want to leave, I will not drive you away, and no one can take you away."

Received this promise, Taohua raised her head in surprise, and then said the hope in her heart: "Master, if mother comes to look for me, can she stay?"

After a moment of silence, Pei Yue looked at the little maid's pleading eyes and shook his head slightly.

Peach Blossom forced a smile.

Pei Yue raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said softly: "Don't think about it, I'm not trying to force you to break up with your mother. But you also know what she has been doing these years. Although there is a reason for it, it is a crime after all. I committed an unforgivable sin. If she is willing to change her past, I will give her a chance to reunite you mother and daughter."

Only then did Tao Hua feel relieved, and her face was not so ugly.

Pei Yue looked as usual, but he had deeper thoughts in his heart.

If that Aunt Leng wanted to return to a normal life, it was not enough to just correct or repent, at least she had to do more things—such as bringing that crazy woman here.

There is no need to say these words to Taohua, he doesn't want the little maid to bear heavy psychological pressure every day.

If Aunt Leng can't do it, he can accept Taohua to leave him and choose to be with his mother.

Some people may call this fickleness, but Pei Yue feels that in many cases, as long as principles and bottom lines are breached once, they will be lowered indefinitely.

He didn't want to be that kind of person in his life.
