Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 1040 1037
The Xu family members were all sitting sadly, from time to time they could hear Xu Guifu's breathing like a bellows, occasionally coughing, or grunting in his throat, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Aunt Xu has become an old lady Xu, most of her hair is white, her face has creases that can kill mosquitoes, her back is rickety, her eyes are cloudy, and she is aging at an alarming rate.

"Guanghui, is the Shen family unwilling to help? Why don't we find another relationship?" Aunt Xu said with a bitter face.

Xu Guanghui shook his head and said, "Jiaojiao said she would help, but it's only been two days now, how could it be so fast?"

Aunt Xu was still a little worried: "If it's not Guanghui, you can go to the Shen's house and ask again. I can't believe it. I don't feel at ease. The house can't last long without going in and out every day!"

Xu Guifu needs to take medicine every day, and the family needs to eat and eat vegetables. Even eating pickles every day costs a lot of money. The Xu family has always saved [-] cents for every dollar they earn. Save money.

Over the past few days, the expenses have been greater than the income, which made Aunt Xu panic and lose her sense of security. She was always worried that she would sit on the mountain and live the life of a beggar.

Xu Guanghui persuaded helplessly: "Mum, don't worry, Wen Hui and I are selling tapes these days, and we are also making money."

"How much money can I earn by selling tapes? I have to eat every day. Which tapes are listened to every day? Selling tapes is only a stopgap measure. Setting up a breakfast stand is the right way. I think if there is no news in the Ming Dynasty , you can go to Shen’s house to ask, and the things have been collected, so you have to do something!”

Aunt Xu felt very distressed when she thought of the net bag of fruit and two bottles of wine. The seven or eight yuan bills were her family's food money for a month.

"Mom, we still live in the Shen family's house, and Grandpa Shen didn't charge our rent." Xu Guanghui reminded his mother.

Aunt Xu fell silent immediately. The rent for a room is at least one yuan a month, which is 12 yuan a year.

Xu Xiaoli despises her mother's pettiness in her heart, and values ​​money more than her life. Every day there is only pickles and pickles. If her father didn't eat so poorly, her body would not have collapsed so quickly.

Earning money is not just to live a better life, her mother is just the opposite, earning money is to save, the greatest joy every day is to pour out a jar of steel, and count the steel collapses with Dad, not one Over and over again, they can't even sleep soundly.

But they don't even think about it, how much can they save by saving money from their mouths?

On the contrary, it also broke down the body. If it wasn't for eating so poorly, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother would not be so short, and she would definitely have a better figure, instead of being shriveled like now.

Xu Xiaoli has a bit of resentment towards her parents. She knows that staying in such a home will never lead to great success. The greatest wish of her parents is to take back her own house and marry her three older brothers.

But she doesn't want to be like this, she has no share in the house, she will marry sooner or later, if she marries well or not, she will be lucky, if she marries well, at most she doesn't have to worry about making a living, if she marries badly, she might even be able to eat question.

Her dream is not like this, she wants to become a master, she wants to leave this poor home, leave Haishi, and go to a richer place, all she can rely on is her young body and her self-esteem that she is willing to lower .

Aunt Xu babbled to clean up the leftover breakfast, a steel pot of rice with less water and more water, and a small plate of homemade fermented bean curd. There was still more than half of the plate left, and the color was a little black, because the fermented bean curd Already had three mornings and will be eating four more.

A piece of fermented bean curd is the breakfast dish of their family for a week. Everyone pokes it with chopsticks, and enjoys the salty and delicious taste on the chopsticks. When making fermented bean curd and pickles, her mother will be generous and put half more salt than others.

Xu Xiaoli looked at the fermented bean curd on the table with disgust, she was a little hungry, since she set up a breakfast stall, she didn’t eat breakfast at home anymore, her eldest brother loved her so much, he would give her a cage of small soup dumplings to eat. She was reluctant to eat it, she was used to delicious little soup dumplings, how could she still eat this kind of simple fermented bean curd with rice?
Shen Jiao struggled to carry a large piece of pork that was more white than red, and then a big flower rooster, and two extra wide-banded fish. When she arrived at the door of Xu's house, the door was not closed, and she could hear it when she stood at the door. Aunt Xu's nagging sound inside.

"Hello Uncle Xu, hello Auntie, I'm Shen Jiao."

Shen Jiao greeted loudly, carried her things into the room, put the chicken and fish on the table, and shook her sour hands.

"Sister Shen, sit down quickly, and I'll make you tea."

Xu Xiaoli smiled enthusiastically, changed from her previous decadence, and was very active. Aunt Xu had long been fascinated by the chicken and fish on the table, and her brain began to calculate automatically. The meat star anise is one catty, and such a big piece is at least two catties, which is six for one piece. The chicken weighs seven or eight catties, at least five yuan, and the broadband fish is a good thing. Two of this size cost at least five or six yuan, and the three add up to at least 12 yuan.

The price of 12 yuan made Mrs. Xu so happy that she laughed like an old orange peel. She rushed to the room separated by a cloth, ready to talk to Xu Xiaoli and make the highest-grade Longjing tea.

But Xu Xiaoli didn't need her to ask, she had already brewed the Longjing tea that the Xu family had collected for more than ten years, and Aunt Xu cursed secretly for the prodigal son, and walked out resentfully.

Shen Jiao took the teacup that exuded a musty smell. The color of the tea was a bit dull, and one could tell it was old tea at a glance. With the Xu family's thrifty style, the age should be around ten years old.

She put the teacup aside with a smile, not letting them go around, and said directly: "You go to the market management office to apply for a certificate, and go directly to Director Meng, and he will handle it for you."

"Ah, Jiaojiao, you are really capable. It took only two days to finish it. Thank you, Lennon, you have really helped my family. Let me have lunch?" Invite Shen Jiao to lunch.

Xu Guifu, who was lying on the bed, also asked Shen Jiao to stay for dinner. He was panting badly, he couldn't stop panting after speaking a few words, wheezing, hoarse, Shen Jiao couldn't help frowning. It can't be so serious!
"My aunt has won the prize, but I just happened to know a friend from the market management office. If I change it to something else, I won't be able to help you."

Shen Jiao also said this intentionally. Madam Yelena's words had some influence on her after all. Besides, she was not very familiar with the Xu family, that is, Xu Guanghui had contact with him when she was a child, so she still had a good impression of him. She thinks it is the best policy to keep a long distance from Xu's family for her aunt's behavior.

　The first!
