Pastoral little master

Chapter 212 Making Requests

It might be rainy and a bit muggy.

Mrs. Zhao didn't stay in the house, she was sitting under the shade of a tree in the yard at the moment.
She was holding a shoe sole in her hand, but she was obviously not thinking about the shoe sole, her eyes glanced towards the gate of the courtyard from time to time, her face seemed a little impatient.
Mrs. Wu was talking with her, holding an old dress in her hand, and was patching it.

Sizao entered the yard like a gust of wind, seeing her old mother and grandma sitting and chatting together, she rolled her eyes and ran over.

"Damn girl, I told you to call uncle. Why did you come back now? Where did you go? Where is your uncle?" Si Zao approached, and before he could speak, Zhao Shi stared and scolded him.

Wu looked behind her and asked, "Where's Eight Pears?"

Sizao was a little unhappy being scolded by Mrs. Zhao, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to answer the questions one by one, "Uncle hasn't come back after going out, and aunt said to let him come as soon as he comes back. Bali and Qilang are going to play together." Yes, I went to Huang Hua's house for a walk."

"Yo, I almost forgot about this." Mrs. Wu slapped her forehead suddenly, and looked at Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, Huang Hua is going to get engaged tomorrow, so please invite us to a wedding. Mother, who will go then? ?”

The topic was changed, Mr. Zhao didn't bother Si Zao anymore, but instead gouged Wu's eyes, "Who else can I let go? Let your father and Decai go."

When getting married, the woman will make a banquet from the three animals sent by the man, and invite everyone in the village to eat.

Of course, because no gifts are given when getting married, each household usually invites one person to the banquet.

But because Huang Hua married well this time, the Huang family was proud, so each family invited two people, and the scene was deliberately made bigger, so as to show that they are better than other families.
"They might not be able to make it back tomorrow." Shi Wu pouted.

"If you can't come back in time, let Lao Wu and Erlang go." Zhao said.

Wu Shi was a little disappointed, she wanted to go to the banquet, but she couldn't fault this arrangement.

"Hmph, Huang Hua is just married to a small family who owns a restaurant in the town. Looking at the Huang family's ostentation, it seems like my daughter is really married to someone important." Zhao snorted coldly through her nose, quite disdainful.

But the sour tone revealed his true thoughts, and he was actually envious of the Huang family.

"It's not bad in our village. The Huang family's marriage is thanks to Huang Hua's aunt, but she put in a lot of effort." Wu said.

She looked at Si Zao squatting beside her, and sighed in her heart, it would be great if Si Zao could marry such a family.

"Cut." Zhao still snorted coldly with disdain.

Sizao looked over to the East Wing.

It happened that Sandao closed the window heavily, it seemed that she was listening to Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wu just now, but she felt uncomfortable, so she closed the window.

Thinking of Tan Lihua's words, Sizao lowered her voice and said to Zhao and Wu, "Grandma, mother, I heard something new today, about Sister Sandao."

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Mrs. Zhao immediately stopped putting on the soles of her shoes and said sullenly.

"I heard that Sister Damei told Sister Sandao about a good marriage." Sizao said exactly what Tan Lihua had said before.

After listening to Si Zao's words, Zhao's complexion immediately turned cold.

She was angry that Mrs. Yang had kept silent about this big matter, keeping her in the dark, it was really hateful.

At the same time, she was very disappointed with Tan Damei, thinking that even Sandao could only introduce such a family, how could she be counted on for Osmanthus fragrans' marriage, and it was difficult for him to treat her like a treasure on weekdays.

It was a waste of my thoughts.

"Oh, Damei is going to marry in the county, and now Santao is going to marry, and Wuxing will definitely not be far behind in the future, that's great." Wu is envious.
Mrs. Zhao didn't respond, but just gave Mrs. Wu a look.

She was about to get up and go to Yang Shi to ask whether it was true or not, when Tan Dejin came in through the side door.

"Both of you go cook." Mrs. Zhao sent Wu's mother and daughter away.

Wu shi pouted quietly, and left with Sizao.

Tan Dejin came over and sat down on the pony chair opposite Mrs. Zhao.

"Where's dad?" Tan Dejin asked.

"I have something to do." Mrs. Zhao replied lightly.

"Oh." Tan Dejin replied in a low voice, and then he was speechless, waiting for Zhao's next words.

Seeing that only Tan Dejin came, Mrs. Zhao felt very relieved.

Looking at the honest and honest face of the eldest son, she was very confident that he would accept what was asked of her today.

"Boss, how are the lotus roots doing recently?" Zhao asked.

"Well, thanks to everyone's help, it's okay." Tan Dejin said truthfully.

Mrs. Zhao knew how many lotus roots were left at home, and he couldn't tell lies.

"That's good. I dug a lot of lotus roots this time, but I got a lot of extra money. Your family can have today, not all thanks to the fact that when I separated from your father, I divided the two ancestral properties." Here it is, otherwise there is no place for you in this pond full of lotus root.

A rough calculation, your lotus root must have sold for at least a thousand taels of silver.Ah, more than 1000 taels, which is quite a lot. You see, our family used to dig food in the mud every day, and we were exhausted. This year, we still can’t earn ten taels of silver. This time, you earned our money. Everyone in the village earns money all their lives. " said Zhao.
Bringing up the old story again is to remind Tan Dejin that the present good life is all thanks to Mr. Tan and her Zhao family, and he must not forget the origin.

She had a happy expression on her face, wondering if Tan Dejin would express anything after hearing what she said.

After listening to her words, Tan Dejin kept waving his hands, "Mother, you are exaggerating, how can you sell a lot of silver for those lotus roots. To dig the lotus roots, our family didn't know how much money was posted. Lotus root is also asking for help everywhere, which costs money.

Also, the fish pond, the lotus pond, and the mountain are all filled with money. The stall is too big, and now it’s like a bottomless pit. I don’t know how much money will be poured into it. For a few days I was worrying about not knowing what to do.Right now the family is almost at the bottom, and I still want to wait for my father to come back to see if he can help me think of a way. "

Don't blame him for being poor, one is the fact, and the other is that if you don't say this, God knows what embarrassing things Zhao will bring up.
The joy on Mrs. Zhao's face faded, and it was stained with frost, "Yo, I haven't said a few words, and you're calling me poor. What's the matter, the family is separated, and you still want to stay with the old woman?" Is it okay to cut off four ounces of flesh from my body? Bah, the dead thing of the white-eyed wolf, call me poor, and stay on the sidelines."

Tan Dejin gritted his teeth secretly.

He didn't refute, just nodded and hummed to Mrs. Zhao, then got up and left.

"Where are you going?" Seeing that he left without saying a word, Mrs. Zhao became anxious.

"Mother, didn't you just let me stay?" Tan Dejin asked with a blank face.

Zhao Shi was so angry that she almost fell on her back, gritted her teeth, "Come back to me."

Tan Dejin turned around and sat down again.

"I called you here today, not for anything else, but for the fifth son's business." Mrs. Zhao didn't go around in circles, and directly stated the purpose.

"What's wrong with the fifth brother?" Tan Dejin asked hurriedly, he still cared about his brother.

"Liu Lang went to Huairen Academy to study, and he even bought a personal school boy to serve him. This is the style of a young master." Mrs. Zhao didn't answer Tan Dejin's question, but talked about Liu Lang instead.

Hearing what she said, Tan Dejin seemed to understand what she wanted to say next.

I felt a 'thump' in my heart.

If it is really what I think, but it is a bit embarrassing.

When he looked at Zhao Shi, he only hoped that it wasn't what he thought.

"Mother, it's not like you don't know that Liulang is weak. Let him run back and forth every day, his body can't bear it, and let him live in the academy alone with no one to take care of him. Don't say we don't worry, you and dad probably don't worry too. I have no choice but to buy a book boy to take care of it. Alas, the cost of the academy is not small, and now I feel a little stressed." Tan Dejin explained, and called poor again.

Mrs. Zhao's face darkened a bit, what's going on with the boss today, why is he blocking my mother's words everywhere.

The rest of the words haven't come out yet, but he's good enough to stop him with words first, how can my old lady speak.

She only felt tightness in her chest, and she looked at Tan Dejin with new scrutiny in her eyes. It seems that the current boss is not the previous boss, and has changed a lot.

But even so, she still had to say what should be said, sneered, and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, boss, don't talk poorly in front of me, you know what's going on in your family, My heart is like a mirror, clearer.

Let me tell you the truth, the school that Lao Wu is currently studying in is not very good. Lao Wu has been studying for such a long time. A few days ago, your father tested him and found that he has not improved at all.All the masters of Huairen Academy are highly educated, so I discussed with your father and wanted the fifth child to study in Huairen Academy.

Now that Liu Lang is in the academy, it is just right for the fifth child to live with Liu Lang, and let the man named Chang Sheng serve together.As for the tuition and all expenses of the fifth child in the academy, as the eldest brother, you should bear it all by yourself.That little silver is nothing to others, but it is nothing to you. "

Mrs. Zhao said it easily and smoothly, as if giving money to Tan Deyou to study is what Tan Dejin should do.

She didn't feel embarrassed in the slightest.

There was a 'buzz' in Tan Dejin's mind, and he really guessed it right.

It stands to reason that the fifth child is his own younger brother, so it's okay to pay him to study. If he has a future, he will be honored as the eldest brother.

But with Mother's character, I can't nod. This time I'm paying the fifth child to study. In a few days, I don't know what she will ask me to do again.I know how much I have, and I really can't be responsive.

Taking a step back, if the parents are really unable to provide for the elderly to study, then I should nod at this moment.

But the fact is that parents have money in their hands but are unwilling to take it out, and they are plotting against themselves again.

Tan Dejin gritted his teeth, looked at Mrs. Zhao and shook his head slightly.
