Chapter 92 money

Gu Rao, however, was a bit apprehensive. After moving here for a few months, she actually met her neighbors many times, but each time they greeted each other politely. They were not too familiar with each other.

The relationship between neighbors in the town is not as friendly as in the village.

"Although the leftovers have never been served, they are leftovers from a treat after all. What if someone dislikes them and dumps them behind our backs?"

Isn't that a waste?

Bie Ye thought for a while, and felt that his wife's concerns were not unreasonable.

Many of these leftovers are meat, and of course people in the country will not dislike them.

But the people living in the town, not to mention all, but many of them have small assets. Although the residents on the South Street are not as rich as the people on the West Street, they are much richer than the people on the East Street. , Not someone who can't afford meat.

After thinking about it, he finally said, "Let's send it over first, as long as we have our minds, it's their business whether they want it or not, even if it's thrown away, there will be dogs to eat."

The neighbors on the left and right have dogs at home.

The neighbor on their left, whose family name is Xiang, is Xiang Shuangping, who runs a wine shop on the East Street. There is an elderly mother named Che, whose wife is Zhou Yan. She has two sons and a daughter, and a big yellow dog at home.

The eldest son is Xiang Fengsheng, 17 years old, studying in Qiushui Academy in the town;

The second daughter is Xiang Wushuang, 15 years old, and she is the embroidering sister of Caiyifang;
The third son, Xiang Shuiqi, is ten years old and is now an apprentice in a blacksmith shop.

It can be seen from the names of their family members that they are all fastidious people. In addition, almost everyone has a legitimate job, and they can be regarded as a decent type of people in the town.

The neighbor on the right, whose family name is Wu Zhixun, heard that he went out on a boat a few years ago and has not returned until now. Now only his wife, daughter, and a thin, black black dog are left at home.

His wife is Bai Yunju, 45 years old, who takes care of the children at home on weekdays and lives on the money sent by her husband's letters.

The eldest daughter is Wu Zhao'er, who is in her twenties. After marrying far away, she thinks she will rarely come back;
The second daughter is Wu Lai'er, also in her twenties, married to Dongjie, and now runs a steamed stuffed bun shop with her husband's family;

The third daughter, Wu Nianer, is 17 years old. She is thin and beautiful, but she still stays in her boudoir;
The fourth daughter, Wu Pan'er, is 14 years old, with a stretched frame and exquisite facial features. It can be vaguely seen that she will be a beautiful woman from a small family when she grows up.

The names of the Wu family's daughters sound pretty nice to hear alone, but once the names of the four daughters are put together, you can see the origin of their names.

Gu Rao said, "Then give Xiangjia and Wujia a bowl of steamed rice and a bowl of steamed pork. You can also send some potato shredded pancakes, and keep the rest for yourself."

Bie Ye got up and said, "I'll go see it off."

Gu Rao nodded.

Bie Ye put the dishes to be sent out into food boxes, and walked to the door of Xiang's house. The door was half-closed. After hearing the sound, it was Zhou Yan who came out to open the door.

After seeing Bie Ye, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Don't boss, what's the matter?"

Bie Ye opened the food box and said, "Thanks to you for lending us the table and stools today, otherwise I don't know when we will be able to serve so many guests."

"Now that all the guests have left, there are still a lot of dishes left. My wife and I can't finish it, so I want to send some to you and help us share."

When Zhou Yan saw Steamed Sauce, Steamed Pork with Flour, and Potato Shredded Cake, she immediately showed a smile and said, "I was talking about it just now, your food is so delicious, but it's a pity that the head of the house and the children are busy during the day and don't have good food. I'm the only one who tasted your food."

"Now that you send it over, they will be lucky too."

"Come in and have some tea."

"I pour the food on my own plate."

Bie Ye handed three plates to Zhou Yan.

"After you finish eating, just send the plates back. I still have to go to Wu's house to deliver food. I'll come to your house for tea next time."

When Zhou Yan heard about the Wu family, her expression changed subtly.

Stretching out his head to look at the door, seeing no one else, he said to Bie Ye earnestly, "I am telling you this because you and your wife live a good life and are easy to get along with. Don't say it." Without waiting for Bie Ye to say anything, he continued, "You should avoid dealing with people from the Wu family, they are not serious people, and the head of the family has not come back for so many years, who knows if he is still alive."

"Bai's a woman, she doesn't go out to earn money, and she doesn't know where she got the money to raise her children. She said her husband sent it, but who knows?"

"Forget it, you are a man who doesn't understand this, why should I tell you this?"

"Anyway, remind your wife to stay away from the Wu family, and don't bring your wife down."

Bie Ye hummed, but did not express his opinion.

Then came to the door of Wu's house, the door was closed tightly, Bie Ye raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door a few times, but there was no movement, so he knocked twice more.

After a while, a thin voice sounded, "Come here, come here, wait a minute!" The voice moved from far to near, and it sounded like it came down from the second floor.

"Squeak-"

The door of the room opened, revealing a face covered in rouge and powder with unusually high cheekbones. It was white cloud chrysanthemum. Seeing that it was Bie Ye, he frowned, looked a little contemptuous in his eyes, and said in a tone of impatience, "Didn't you say you wouldn't eat it?" ?"

They are also relatives, and as far as she knows, Bie Ye and his wife are only renting the house next door instead of buying it. Is it necessary to mobilize so many people?
He must be trying to get her money!

She is not that stupid!

Bie Ye had been to Bai's house before and asked them to eat at home, but Bai Yunju refused on the grounds that he had already eaten.

"I'm here to deliver food to you."

Bai Yunju took a look at the food box and saw that there was meat inside, so she took the food box over, with a smile on her pretty face, "Then I won't be polite."

"Let's put the food box at my house first, and we'll return it to you tomorrow."

Bie Ye could only say, "Okay."

Bai Yunju issued an order to chase away the guests, "It's getting late, and my house is full of daughters. It's not good for you, a big man, to come in, so I won't invite you in."

Bie Ye didn't intend to go in and sit down.

"I'm going back."

After that, he turned and went home.

Bai Yunju watched Bie Ye's back disappear before entering the room and closing the door again.
-
Seeing Bie Ye come back empty-handed, Gu Rao was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What about the big food box?"

Bie Ye said, "Ms. Bai said it will be returned tomorrow."

Gu Rao didn't think much about it.

"Ok."

She bought that food box a while ago. It is made of pear blossom wood, painted with a layer of red lacquer, and the carvings are also beautiful. She likes it very much and is usually reluctant to touch it.

Hope it's not damaged when I return it tomorrow.

He leaned over Bie Ye and sniffed it, then covered his nose pretending to be disgusted and said, "You smell a lot of oily smoke, hurry up and take a bath, the hot water has already been boiled."
