Chapter 111 Looking for a big house, paying for money to make up for it
Chu Ge glanced at Xiu Niang, and said dumbly, "Brother, you also said, let me help him find a big house..."

Xiu Niang paused, looked at Chu Ge, "Looking for a big house?"

"Well," Chuge Mumu nodded, and replied, "Brother said, let us help you find a place in the village. It shouldn't be too good, as long as you can live in it."

Xiu Niang raised her eyebrows, what if she could live?That means it shouldn't be too expensive, she pursed her lips, "That's fine, you can find it."

"what?"

"Ah, what, as long as the eldest brother has money, you can find it for him."

"oh oh……"

Chu Ge replied blankly, and sat up straight, with no expression on his face.

Xiu Niang spread out a gown on her lap and folded it neatly. She looked at Chu Ge and smiled, "What's wrong, what are you thinking about, why don't you talk."

Chu Ge looked at her, "Xiu Niang, why don't I go to the sixth sister-in-law's house later and ask her to help find a house..."

Xiu Niang glanced at him, stood up with a smile, hugged the folded clothes beside her, and put them on the side of the wooden cabinet.

"You, it's better to calm down for a while, even if you go to the sixth sister-in-law now, she won't agree."

Knowing that Xiu Niang and Shen Shi got along well, Chu Ge thought that she said this because she didn't want to help Chu Fu find a big house, because if Xiu Niang got in touch with Liu Shi, they definitely shouldn't help him find news.

He thought so, and said so in his mouth.

When Xiu Niang heard this, she suddenly smiled, and pinched Chu Ge in annoyance, "You idiot, are you thinking that I intend to embarrass your elder brother on this matter?"

Chu Ge covered his arms and let out an "Ouch", seeing that Xiu Niang was angry, he quickly shook his head in denial, faltering and not knowing what to say.

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge's simple and honest appearance, thinking of teasing him, she continued to mutter.

"Oh, and that's how you see me. Could it be that in your eyes, I'm such a bad person? If I didn't want to help them before, I wouldn't let them live in the house!" She said I wish they could leave sooner, so that she and Chugo could...ahem...have a good life.

Chu Ge frowned, seeing Xiu Niang turning her back angrily, he rubbed his arm a little aggrieved, didn't he just tell the truth, Xiu Niang didn't always praise him for his sincerity before, why is he telling the truth now? After talking, Xiuniang was not happy.

He didn't understand, he just sat behind and looked at Xiuniang.

Xiu Niang waited for a long time, but when she saw that Chu Ge still didn't answer, she couldn't hold back anymore, she was so stupid, she didn't say something nice to coax herself, she still had a lot of work to do in the future.

She gritted her teeth in thought, turned around and stared at him, "Hey, you are so stupid, don't you know what to say!"

Chu Ge blinked, looked at Xiu Niang's delicate face, held back for a long time, and said, "Xiu, Xiu Niang, I don't think you are bad."

Xiu Niang pretended to be angry, but when she heard Chu Ge's words, she burst out laughing, gave him a look, and then continued to tidy up the bed, "Hey, it's not too bad, I just like your honesty Son."

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang and finally smiled, but for some reason he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Xiu Niang, then, that Sixth Sister-in-law..."

Xiu Niang said, "Hey, why don't I talk about it, this matter is not urgent, and we have to wait until the New Year is over."

Chu Ge asked, "Why?"

Xiu Niang straightened her waist, stuffed several clothes into his arms, pointed to the wooden cabinet next to the bed, and asked him to put the two clothes at the bottom.

"Earlier, there was only one family in our village, but now it's almost the end of the new year. Even if other families are thinking about moving, they will have to wait until after the new year at the earliest."

Chu Ge thought about it, so he didn't say anything, and helped put away the clothes.

Xiu Niang's subordinates were busy, and suddenly thought of something, she said to Chu Ge, "Chu Ge, elder brother is looking for a big house, do your parents-in-law know?"

Chu Ge said honestly, "Brother told me that we were in the yard at that time... Well, mother was there."

Xiu Niang said "Oh", looked at Chu Ge and smiled, and put the clothes she found earlier on the bedside.

She said casually, "Hey, by the way, Chu Ge, do you know how much money our family has saved now?"

Chu Ge thought about it, and said, "Well, plus the money I pocketed last time... It seems that there are still more than twenty taels."

Xiu Niang gave a "puchi" smile, "You really want to be happy."

Chugo asked, "Why, isn't it?"

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Then follow what you said, do you want me to find you for the extra ten taels of silver?"

Chu Ge was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Then, is there only ten taels of silver left in our family now?"

Xiu Niang pursed her lips and sighed, looking at the roof of the back room, there was still light shining through.

"That's right. Originally, the family saved more than twenty taels, but...you don't even think about it. The two taels of silver that elder brother gives every month is not enough to spend. How many mouths do you have in this family? I don’t have to dig out money in secret... Alas, I was still thinking about when to repair our house here.”

Chu Ge listened, and looked up at the roof, with a little helplessness on his face.

Xiu Niang looked at it and sighed, shook her head and continued to work. These were those big watery eyes, and a smile flashed inadvertently...

----------

After dinner in the evening, Xiu Niang packed up the dishes and went to the stove as usual, while Chu Ge and Chu Fu helped to pack up the chairs.

Father Chu burped, wiped his mouth with his hand, and came out looking for a bong, thinking about smoking a bag.

Sitting next to Father Chu, Shen was willing to be with Xiuniang only when she was eating, she tilted her head to look at Xiuniang, and then winked at Father Chu.

Father Chu bit his cigarette holder, and shook his head in thought, "Oh, this old man's business, why don't you let him do the work on his own, why do you have to take care of the second child."

Shen uttered a "tsk", "What do you know, you old bastard, go, hurry up and yell."

Father Chu frowned, "Hey, you old lady, what do you want me to call?"

Shen patted him angrily, "Oh, didn't I tell you earlier, you called everyone into the room to discuss things."

Father Chu was a little reluctant, "You can do this, this shouting thing, why do you have to ask me?"

Shen frowned, "The little woman will still listen to what you say. If I start nagging, she won't be able to twitch her buttocks before leaving."

Father Chu knew that Shen was talking about Xiuniang, but what she said, "Hey, what you said is too ugly. What do you mean by 'big butt twist'? It's really outrageous."

Shen's face darkened, and she cursed a few words silently, telling him to hurry up.

Father Chu pursed his lips, glanced at her, and pointed to the courtyard door for Chu Ge to open, then he yelled into the stove, "Well, it's from the second family."

Wearing an apron, Xiu Niang appeared at the door shaking her wet hands, "Hey, father-in-law, what's the matter?"

Father Chu cleared his throat, "Well, what, the second child, have you finished your work?"

Xiu Niang took a look into the stove and said, "It would be nice to have two or three more bowls... Father-in-law, what's the matter?"

Father Chu took a sip, pointed at the back room with the cigarette stick, "It's okay, come to the back room after you've finished your work, your mother-in-law... has something to talk to me about."

Xiu Niang didn't think much, she responded, and then went back to the stove to wash the rest of the dishes, brushed the pan, and wiped the stove with a rag. Seeing that everything was clean, she relieved herself. He opened his apron and walked outside.

When she walked into the back room, she saw that everyone was there. Father Chu and Shi Shen sat in the middle of two high chairs, Chu Fu and Wen Shi sat on the bed, and Chu Ge nestled by the door.

Xiu Niang called out Father Chu and Mrs. Shen, looked at a small stool next to Chu Ge, thought that Chu Ge must have moved it for her, she sat down with a smile.

Father Chu extinguished his cigarette when he entered the inner room, presumably because he was afraid of choking on Wen Shi, he habitually bit the cigarette holder, "Okay, everyone is here now, then I will...cough cough...old lady you say."

Xiu Niang leaned closer to Chu Ge, and when she heard what Father Chu said, she covered her mouth and secretly smiled.

Chen gritted her teeth, and glared at Father Chu, unexpectedly, this old mouth would push herself out as a villain.

She pursed her lips and said, "Well, here, I, let me say a few words first, so Chu Geer."

Chu Ge looked at Shen Shi and responded, "Oh, mother."

Shen smiled, "Hey, I thought you were a good kid before I started fighting with your father..."

"Hey..." Xiu Niang laughed, she used to be a good girl, that's why she was chased out.

Mrs. Shen glared at Xiuniang, and then said, "Hey, Chu Geer, your father, me, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law, we live in your house these days, it's really too crowded..."

Xiu Niang looked away, nodded, and said with a smile, "Oh, if my mother-in-law didn't say anything, I really didn't think how crowded it would be if there were four or five more people in the courtyard of Chu Ge and I." .”

Shen looked at Xiuniang with disgust, "You little woman, don't make sarcastic remarks there!"

Xiu Niang twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Grandma, if you have something to do, hurry up and talk, don't keep talking about what you have and what you don't..."

"You, you little woman!"

Father Chu cleared his throat at this moment, "The second child, why are you talking to your mother-in-law?"

Xiuniang smiled, "Got it, father-in-law, mother-in-law, tell me."

Shen's eyes widened, and she took a breath, "This, this... Whoops, what did I just say!"

Chu Fu said at the side, "Sarcasm..."

Shen stared at Chu Fu, "What?!"

"Hey, Mu Mu, my mother-in-law just said that living here with my younger siblings is very crowded." Wen Shi supported his stomach and helped at the right time.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Mrs. Wen, and wanted to say something nice, but when Xiu Niang interrupted her, she simply said, "Then Chu Geer, didn't your elder brother ask you to find a big house earlier? I'll take care of things for you, I'll find a few old ladies to look for."

She looked at Chu Ge and smiled, "Your eldest brother is looking for a house now, you little brother will give some money to make up for it..."

Xiu Niang sneered when she heard this, she looked at Shen shi angrily, just as she was about to speak, she heard the man next to her speak.

Chu Ge said dumbly to Shen Shi, "I have no money."
