The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 104

Aunt Yao is an open-minded person. She did not panic when the Li family fell suddenly last year, and now she accepts all of it calmly.

At this time, she said with a slight smile: "I will make Dongpo pork for you later, this is a new dish I have learned."

Yingniang was slightly stunned, Aunt Yao has been noble for most of her life, and she almost always made a detour when she saw the kitchen, but now she needs to cook and study the dishes by herself.Thinking that there was no one waiting around her, it seemed that even the servants in the kitchen had been dismissed.

Ying Niang pretended to be relaxed and nodded, "Okay, I just want to learn how to cook this dish from you."

Bo Ming quietly left without Yingniang's reminder, and went to the kitchen to prepare firewood and so on, so that the two of them could have some intimate conversations here.

When Yingniang and Aunt Yao talked about the difficult discipline of their two children, Li Changan came back with a dark face.

Aunt Yao saw that something was wrong with him, and asked, "Is it because he can't get a good price?"

Li Changan first nodded slightly to Yingniang, as if he had met, then looked at Aunt Yao guiltily, hesitating to speak.

Aunt Yao knew him very well, he was always a calm person, now his face was so dark, gloomy and angry, it seemed that something serious happened.

Aunt Yao asked again: "Have Min'er and Mao'er returned to their father-in-law's house?"

Because the family wanted to sell the mansion, the two brothers had already moved to the father-in-law's house.Originally, Li Changan wanted to take his son and daughter-in-law to the countryside together, but they insisted on refusing, preferring to suffer the shame of their father-in-law and mother-in-law, rather than go to the countryside to live a poor life.

Li Changan clenched his fists tightly and wanted to smash the table heavily, but because there were guests at home, he finally held back.He took a deep breath, but his anger still couldn't subside, and he said angrily: "I don't have a son anymore! Just now, my brothers and I broke up the relationship between father and son, and we don't want to see each other again!"

Aunt Yao didn't know how Min'er and Mao'er provoked him, and she was about to ask, when suddenly a group of people broke into the yard, and the servants couldn't stop them.

Aunt Yao calmly said, "Which creditor is here again? Isn't the debt paid off?"

Li Changan smiled wryly, "This is the good deed of the two sons! When the family was in decline last year, the two of them stole the house deed of the house as a mortgage, and then went into the jewelry business. They lost everything! It's all my fault." Ah, I didn't listen to you back then."

Li Chang'an really wanted to beat his chest and scold his sons to vent his anger, but he has always been a man of self-discipline, so he just said sullenly: "If you obey your orders and discipline your sons harshly, why do you want to do this?"

He really regretted it!

A few years ago, Aunt Yao felt that Li Changan was too laissez-faire with the children, and proposed strict discipline.But Li Chang'an always felt that their mother had passed away early, and he didn't want to make them suffer anymore. He even felt that Aunt Yao couldn't tolerate his ex-wife's children, so he never listened to it.

In addition to inviting famous teachers to teach, he never cared about the children's life and behavior, and let them go. Every time he gave them hundreds of taels of silver, it didn't take long for him to spend it all.On the contrary, Aunt Yao often disciplined them, and they only responded superficially, but in fact they did whatever they wanted, because they had Li Changan as their father and relied on them, so they would not take their stepmother's words to heart.

Now that he has received his retribution, Li Chang'an suddenly realized that the decline of his family may be mostly his own fault.

Aunt Yao said indifferently: "So today you are looking for someone to buy the mansion, and the two of them are following behind to play tricks so that they can't buy it?"

Li Changan didn't expect Aunt Yao to guess it right away, he nodded guiltily and said, "I was wondering at first, obviously there are a few companies that are willing, but the two of them said that the price is too low, or that they must have no cash, They kept blocking me from agreeing to them. One family was really sincere, and the price was fair, so I promised to go home and get the deed, and the two brothers confessed when they knew they couldn't keep it secret."

Aunt Yao can guess what happened next without him saying it.Li Changan must have been so angry that he broke up with his sons on the spot.Seeing that their father no longer recognized them, Li Min and Li Mao no longer had any scruples, and let them take over the mansion.

The two of them coaxed the boss for a whole year not to let him take over the house, and now they are exhausted physically and mentally.The matter was finally settled today, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Yao sighed, "It's fate, it looks like we'll have to wander the world."

Along the way, Li Changan was still worried that Aunt Yao would blame him, and maybe leave him in a fit of anger.Unexpectedly, she said the words of wandering around the world. She must have planned to share life and death with him. She is really a good wife who can support each other and share joys and sorrows.Li Chang'an's eyes were a little wet, and he felt that he had often speculated about Aunt Yao like he was a businessman all these years, and he had wronged her too much.

Seeing Yingniang listening, Aunt Yao was stunned for a while, and said calmly: "Yingniang, I really made you laugh, my family has been reduced to the point where I can't even sell the mansion. Let's go to the kitchen to do business. Pork meat."

The people in the yard admired the mansion almost enough, they took out the mortgage deed triumphantly, and came in to look for Li Changan.

The leader was about to speak when Li Changan stopped him.

"Don't say anything. We'll move out after lunch. You've been waiting for a year, so you shouldn't be in a hurry?"

Those people used to treat Li Chang'an as the god of wealth in Wuzhou, no matter what they did, they respected him from afar.Now Li Changan only asked for such a little, and they didn't want to make it too ugly, so they all nodded and went out, saying they would come back in the afternoon.

Bo Ming has already been busy in the kitchen. In addition to steaming rice, he also fried a lot of scallion pancakes and a few side dishes. He completely treated Aunt Yao's kitchen as his own. He believed that Aunt Yao would not say anything. of.

After Aunt Yao and Yingniang came in, they only had to make Dongpo pork.The two of them didn't tell Bo Ming about the matter in the mansion, and Bo Ming didn't know that Aunt Yao would have nowhere to go soon.

They were busy here, while Li Changan began to tidy up the things over there.It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Li Changan took out all the silver taels at home and weighed them, and there were more than 150 taels.Coupled with the jade wrench on his thumb, it can be worth at least 500 taels of silver.

He called the boy over, "Dozens of families in Li's house have children, but you have not been willing to leave us so far. Now my wife and I have nowhere to go, and you can't stay here any longer. There are still two cars in the house. Carriage, save the one for me and my wife, you can take the rest. You sell these household items in the house. Although these are cheap goods that have been exchanged, they can still be worth a few dollars. Don't leave it to those people."

As Li Changan said, he took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to him, "Use this money to build two small houses in the outskirts of the city, and then marry your relatives to have a peaceful life. Aren't you very good at making all kinds of pastries? If you sell it on the street, you can support your family. How you live your life in the future depends on you.”

The boy wiped his tears, kowtowed a few more times, and went out with the money.

After the food was served, Li Changan also came over to eat.The four of them ate around a small table, their expressions were quite natural, as if nothing had happened.

After eating, Aunt Yao and Li Changan packed up the things they needed and went.Birming was still cleaning the table and tidying up the stove.

"Boming, don't clean up. You are cleaning up for others. Aunt Yao and Brother Li will move out of the house later." Yingniang then told him what happened just now.

Bo Ming didn't expect that the Li family would encounter another catastrophe after he had only been busy in the kitchen for a while.

"Yingniang, since Aunt Yao and Brother Li have no place to go, why don't you go to our house. Isn't the women's school built into a big courtyard, just let them live there. Aunt Yao can also be a teacher, she understands She has a lot of things and a lot of knowledge, and she came out of the palace, and the foster mother may not be better than her. In the future, together with her, you will definitely be able to run the women's school well."

Yingniang winked at him and smiled, "Actually, I want to go with you. It's just...I'm worried that Big Brother Li is thin-skinned, so I won't agree. Besides, no matter how the Li family falls, they must have a lot of money. It is not difficult to go to the countryside and build a small yard to live."

Bo Ming also probably understood Li Changan's temperament, he hesitated and said, "Brother Li and Aunt Yao probably won't go back to their ancestral home Chang'an, it's too far away. Besides, I heard from Aunt Yao that she and Brother Li have no close relatives in Chang'an." , and I haven’t been back for more than 20 years, and I can no longer adapt to the climate and living habits there. Since I want to find a place to live, I might as well go to our Yongzhen, which is not far away, and the climate and living habits are roughly the same. The population of Yongzhen is more and more There are more and more people coming, and the business is easy to do, maybe Brother Li is willing to make a living, or wants to make a comeback."

Yingniang shook her head, "I'm afraid he has no such heart, and just wants to enjoy the rest of his life in peace."

Boming suddenly had an idea, "Why don't we sell the women's school to Brother Li? We estimate that it will cost 80 taels to build a decent school, and we can sell them 50 taels, lest they refuse to accept it. Aunt Yao And Li Changan's temperament, if they go to the countryside and do nothing, they will feel bored. In this way, they can teach their children, and they can also be friends with our neighbors, and they should not be friends in this life. It's so lonely."

Yingniang felt that this was very good, so they came together to consult Li Changan and Aunt Yao.
