Chapter 264

Lu Taohua basically doesn't go out now, and spends most of her time making smocks at home, or making some clothes for the children of her second brother's family. The peaceful days now are something she couldn't look forward to many years ago Yes.

It's just that this peaceful day is not really peaceful.

Mrs. Lu brought Xiaozhu's daughter-in-law to the door.

Both Chen Xiaofang and Sifeng had gone to the workshop, but Sanbao's wife was at home, but she was a granddaughter-in-law who really didn't dare to talk too much in front of the old lady.

"Peach Blossom, I have taken care of the patriarch and several elders before. I mainly came to see you this time. You said that you haven't gone out for so long since you came back?"

Lu Taohua smiled wryly and said, "Mother, you know what's going on with me now, do you really think it would be better for me to walk around in the village?"

These words made Mrs. Lu choke and her expression stiffened.

Xiaozhu's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Look at what my sister said, mother is also concerned about you, mother is afraid that you will always be bored at home and then get sick. We are in the countryside, which family's women don't go out? Besides, you are here My brother lives here, and he doesn't bother others, so why bother with them!"

Lu Taohua just smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Lu held her daughter's hand, and after a few words, her eyes turned red.

Lu Taohua couldn't bear to see this either, and she shed tears after a while.

When the two of them were almost crying, Mrs. Lu finally got down to business.

"It's also useless to your mother! Look at your second brother's life now, San Bao is promising, and even Si Gou, a fool, is now the object of others' fawning. Mother's heart is bitter! You These nephews always blame me for being biased, but the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and even the fingers grown by myself are of different lengths, what do you think I can do?"

Lu Taohua didn't understand her intention, but just nodded along the way.

Old lady Lu wiped away her tears again.

"The elder brother also said that I was partial, and your second brother also said that I was partial. Is it easy for you to say that I am easy? With such a big family, how can there be no money for food, drink and spending? Besides, Wufu's study, it is because your father is still alive It was decided at the right time, how dare I, an old woman, disobey your father? Isn't this all about fulfilling your father's last wish, why is it so difficult!"

The topic finally turned to Lu Wufu's going to school.

"Mother, don't say that. Isn't Wufu a good student now? I heard that they have won Tongsheng, and when they come out in the next year, they will definitely win a scholar and come back."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she finally smiled.

"It's still my daughter who understands me and loves me! That's right, when the Five Fortunes come to an end next year, she will definitely be able to come back as a scholar. At that time, she will be the only one in our Lujia Village!"

"Mother, you will have many happy days in the future."

At this moment, Mrs. Lu shook her head again, and said with a helpless expression: "But this study also costs money. There was a Mr. Chen in the county in front of me who held a literary club. I heard that Mr. Lu who never got off the stage All the calves from Han’s family have gone, but our family’s five blessings obviously won Tongsheng, but they didn’t make it, it’s not because of the money!”

When Lu Taohua heard the word Yinzi, the feeling of empathy just now seemed not so strong.

At this moment, the brain seems to be much clearer.

"Mom, I don't understand what you're talking about."

The old lady Lu looked at her tentatively, and said with a sad face: "Oh, it's because I have no skills. It was better when your father was alive. Since your father is gone, look at these brothers. What is it like!"

Lu Taohua was silent for a while.

"Mother, San Bao and Si Gou have indeed been wronged. Don't blame Second Brother anymore."

Mrs. Lu just felt heartbroken!

Is she talking about this?

Is she here to ask for money?

Why didn't this blind loser know how to follow her words!
What a blind man, no wonder those butchers don't want you anymore!

The old lady Lu adjusted her expression reluctantly, and sighed again: "Yes, don't blame your second brother, blame me!"

As soon as she said this, Lu Taohua felt that she had stabbed a hornet's nest.

The old lady's crying frightened her a lot.

After finally coaxing me to stop crying, I have to help to persuade her again.

"Peach Blossom, I won't tell you anything. Your nephew, Wu Fu, has been urging Shu Xiu for the second half of the year, but we have been in difficulty, so we have been procrastinating. This is not the last time Wu Fu came back, It is said that the master said, if you don’t stop repairing, you don’t need to read the book. Tell me, isn’t this stabbing my heart with a knife!”

Lu Taohua finally understood that she wanted her to give Lu Wufu a bunch of repairs.

However, Lu Taohua was not in a hurry to agree. She has money in her hand now, but the three of them still have to spend it, especially when the eldest daughter gets a satisfactory marriage, she has to buy a dowry.

"Mother, don't worry. Didn't Erhu find a job in the county? I heard that the elder brother's family is doing well."

"What's the use of that!"

The old lady Lu waved her hand, she seemed a little embarrassed in the end, but she still spoke.

"Peach Blossom, Mother really can't do anything about it, Mother is throwing herself out of this old face, can you lend Mother ten taels of silver?"

Hearing this, Lu Taohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother had been hanging on her before, and she only mentioned the money, but didn't say the amount. Naturally, she was a little scared in her heart.

Now that I heard that I only need to borrow ten taels, it is naturally acceptable.

However, it was impossible for Lu Taohua to respond directly, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Mother, I dare not lie to you. Although the child's father gave me some silver taels, I have to keep an account of the money spent. When the two daughters get married in the future, I have to buy dowries for them. Besides, If I use too many flowers, the Wan family will become suspicious, and if it affects the marriage of the two daughters, I will become a sinner."

Mrs. Lu wanted to get angry, but she still tried to suppress it.

Taking a deep breath, I told myself that this is the next step, and I can't waste such a long time in vain.

"Peach Blossom, mother also knows that you are in trouble. Didn't mother say it? This is considered to be borrowed from you by mother. Erhu did find an errand in the county, but the monthly money from before was sent back, and the first few people in the family took medicine. Don't worry about it, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to covet this old face and ask you for money."

Lu Taohua hesitated.

If the old lady asks her for money as soon as she opens her mouth, then her attitude will naturally be tougher, and she will definitely not agree.

But now that the old lady is showing weakness like this, and she is asking for excuses, as a daughter, she can't speak too hard.

When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter's reaction, she knew that the ten taels of silver had something to do with it.
