Chapter 90

When Old Gao heard this, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, "Did they say when they will be hired?"

Lao Wu said that a new academy will be opened in the county after the Chinese New Year. The master of the new academy is a high-ranking official who has returned from it. Everyone is desperate to get in, but the repair is very expensive, and one person costs five taels of silver...

Shen Da, Shen Er, and Shen San were all white-eyed wolves, and they couldn't get half a copper coin out of their hands, so they had to think of other ways.

It was her idea to give away a few old girls in the family.

The matchmaker said you were in a hurry, but said, "Hurry up, it's only two days."

Old Gao's expression paused slightly, with joy and anxiety.

"So fast?"

"?!?!" The matchmaker wanted to curse.

You are the one who is urging, and you are the one who is too quick, my mother...

Old Gao also realized that he had said something wrong, coughed lightly, and added: "It's not too soon, a good marriage waits for no one."

The matchmaker responded quickly, and responded with a smile.

"That's not right, it's a total of 30 taels of dowry, and I don't know how many people are staring at it."

It was as if 30 taels were already at hand, and Mrs. Gao smiled very happily.

Gritting his teeth, he gave the matchmaker fifty cash for hard work.

"This matter has to be settled in the middle, and when it's done...you'll have to benefit from it."

Geng Tie's handing over is a sure thing, and Lao Gao's pain in giving money this time is much less.

The matchmaker curled his lips secretly, the old godmother is still so picky.

"Wait for news."

After the matchmaker left, Liu came to the main room timidly.

"mother."

Shen Rou's marriage is basically settled, old Gao is in a good mood, it's rare to give her a good face.

"How did you come?"

Mrs. Liu was overwhelmed by the flattery, with a sincere and apprehensive expression, like a quail, and whispered: "I'm here to ask about Sister Rou's marriage."

Old Gao: "The Geng post has already been given out, and the matchmaker said that the family will come to propose marriage in the next two days. The third one, please persuade him, don't let him spoil the good marriage of sister Rou."

"Don't worry, mother, I will." Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and agreed without hesitation.

Old Gao gave her an insincere smile.

It's a pity that Mrs. Liu is blind and can't see the fakeness on that old bark face. Instead, she swears in her heart that she will do things well and let her mother treat her differently.

After secretly swearing, Mrs. Liu left with high spirits.

Old Gao looked at her back, and laughed out of his mouth, with an indescribable sarcasm in his voice.

Mrs. Liu was stupid because she was a little stupid, and couldn't stand being obedient.

Sure enough, only the daughter-in-law she personally chose could make her happy.

As for the Meng family and the Li family...these two bitches are not easy to fool, let alone mention them.

Mrs. Liu returned to the third room, and as soon as she entered the yard, she ran into Shen Rou who was drying the clothes.

"Sister Rou, come here, mother." As she spoke, she stepped forward and snatched the clothes from her daughter.

After drying it in twos and twos, he pulled Shen Rou to sit down, as if he was about to have a long talk.

Shen Rou didn't know why, so she was a little nervous.

"Mom, what's the matter?" she asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, Mother just wants to talk to you." Liu smiled lovingly, touched the callus on Shen Rou's palm, and said with distress: "Sister Rou was reborn in my stomach and suffered."

"It's not bitter..." Shen Rou hurriedly said.

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Liu, "Listen to your mother."

Shen Rou closed her mouth and looked at her mother calmly.

Mrs. Liu: "In the blink of an eye, you have reached the age when you should leave the cabinet. Tomorrow, Mother will take you to the county. The things you need to buy must be done in advance, so as not to be in a hurry."

After all, she was still a little girl, when Shen Rou heard her mother say this, her face turned red instantly, she lowered her head, she was too ashamed to look at anyone.

He hesitated and said: "Mother, I don't want to marry."

"How can the girl's family not get married?" Liu said angrily.

Thinking that her son-in-law will come to the house to propose marriage in the next two days, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Sister Rou, don't work these few days, take care of her first."

Shen Rou didn't understand, so, "Why? What about the work at home?"

"Isn't there still sister Jing, let her do it first."

"How can this be done? It doesn't look like there are many things at home, but they are actually very trivial. Sister Jing is still young, so I will be with her." Shen Rou felt sorry for her sister, and did not want to hand over everything.

Liu Shi was a little unhappy about her rebuttal.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Forget it, you should be more careful, and don't do things that hurt your hands or bask in the sun."

Shen Rou always felt that there was something strange about her mother, but she couldn't think of something strange, so she hesitated to respond.

Time turned and it was night.

The house of Shen San and his wife.

Except for the sound of breathing, the couple on the bed had no communication.

Suddenly, the always taciturn Liu said, "Sir, I heard that my father is ill, I think..."

She hesitated.

Shen San didn't even turn his body, he was silent for a while, and said: "I'll take you back tomorrow."

Mrs. Liu just wanted to send him away, and she wanted to keep the dowry gift herself, so she licked her dry lips and said with a guilty conscience: "I want to take Sister Rou to the county tomorrow, can you..."

Shen San's expression didn't change, but his eyes turned cold.

The moonlight shone in his dark eyes, which were full of sarcasm.

"I go by my own."

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense voice relaxed, "Thank you, Mr.

Shen San didn't speak any more.

A blizzard roared towards the Shen family.

No one can predict it at this time.

The second room of the Shen family.

Shen Nian was grabbed by Li Xiuniang's shoulder.

The woman couldn't control her excitement and asked, "Miss Nian, are you serious? Do you know how to make paper?"

Shen Er saw that her little girl was being held by her daughter-in-law, she couldn't see it, so she went up to 'rescue' Shen Nian.

"Just talk, don't move." He frowned.

What he said was the same as when Li Xiuniang beat Shen Nian unilaterally.

Li Xiuniang rolled her eyes angrily, "A full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry."

"Ask the women in the village, who doesn't envy those who work in the tung oil workshop?"

Moreover, no matter how impatient she is, she will not hurt her daughter.

Seeing that the lady was furious, Shen Er hurriedly admitted his mistake, "My fault, I'm a big pig's hoof, I don't know how to be considerate of my lady.

Didn't Sister Nian say that she wanted to build a paper-making workshop in the village? This workshop only accepts women, and you are her mother. It is not a proper thing to enter the workshop..."

The front was quite pleasant, but when he heard the words behind, Li Xiuniang glared at him and said, "Hmph, I'll go in according to the rules, and I won't hold back our sister, lest the gossiping women in the village spread gossip."

Shen Er didn't expect her to have such a high level of awareness, a thumbs up of appreciation was better than before.

"The lady has ambition, but she is much stronger than me."

In terms of coaxing people, Shen Er has always had a way.

Li Xiuniang smiled happily.

The couple unintentionally sprinkled dog food, and the topic didn't know where to go, and it took a while to turn back.

"Sister Nian, is it true that you know how to make paper?" Li Xiuniang's eyes were particularly bright.

Shen Nian: "Yes."

Right?
She knows the method, but has never actually operated it.

Shen Kun is so self-confident about his younger sister, bragging without thinking, "My younger sister is amazing!!"
