Flowers are expensive

Chapter 175

Wei frowned tightly, staring at the sewing basket in Grandma Yun's hand and said, "My legs are bad, my ears are bad, and it seems that my brain is even worse! It's because of the kindness of the master that I left you at your age. Eating and drinking in the village, you guys are really enjoying the rest of your life? It seems that only your eyes are good, and you can do needlework. It just so happens that the third lady needs two pairs of leggings for her legs, so I will leave them to you. Dinner Before, if you can’t cook well, you can save your meal for tomorrow! Did you hear that, Cao Meizhi?”

"I heard you, Young Madam!" Mrs. Cao glared at Grandma Yun and nodded.

"Hmph! No one is allowed to help her. If you can't do this job, it would be a waste of the white rice on the farm! Whoever helps her will not even want to eat dinner!" Wei Shi snorted and led the Caiyin walked out.

Mrs. Cao rolled her eyes at Grandma Yun and said, "I said, do you live too peacefully as an old man? What are you doing with Young Madam? You are just Ma Liu's real aunt, not Young Madam's real aunt!"

Granny Yun slowly got up from the steps and said, "If you don't like me and think I'm annoying, just poison me with some poisonous rat poison. If you die, you can go back to the ancestral grave, and feel at ease!"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Mrs. Cao spat on the ground three times, "Can't you say something good? Who poisoned you with rat poison? After poisoning you, your eldest daughter and son-in-law are going to fight me hard? "

"What do you mention them for? They don't come to see me once in half a year. It's really the water that was thrown by the married daughter! One gets married when she gets married, and the other gets lost when she loses it. My life is so hard. What are you doing alive?"

"Don't think about your little daughter anymore. How many years have you been missing? Come back sooner! I'll take you to fetch the cloth for leggings right now. Hurry up and do it. I'll come when I'm free. Give you two stitches. Remember, don't contradict the young lady again!"

After Mrs. Cao scolded Grandma Yun a few words, she led her to get the cloth, and then went back to her own business.With these three masters around, Cao Shi and Ma Liu are always busy during the day.In the afternoon, Wang Qiushui suddenly yelled that his leg hurts badly. Wang Xincheng hurriedly asked Ma Liu to invite Moxiang, but Moxiang didn't come to the door any more.Wang Xincheng had no choice but to take out a few bottles of wound medicine brought from the mansion, and apply it to Wang Qiushui first.

When it was almost time for dinner, Wang Qiushui's howls came from the backyard again.Ma Liu and Cao Shi quickly put down the bowls they had just picked up, and rushed towards the backyard in a hurry.Mrs. Xiao also put down the bowl and followed.

Duan Qigu took a mouthful of rice, rolled her eyes, and whispered to Third Aunt Dong: "Look, there will be no end tonight! I've had pain once in the afternoon, and I don't know how many times it will hurt tonight! It's too late to sleep!"

"Miss Jiao is weak, a little bit of pain can make a hole in Tianhao," Aunt Dong said, "Isn't it just a broken kneecap? Can it hurt like this? It's best to go back to Bianjing immediately!"

"that is!"

The servants were eating their meals one after another, when Ma Liu suddenly ran out and yelled, "Don't eat it! Don't eat it!"

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Ma Liu together.Ma Liu said with one hand on his hip, "Right now we're all standing at the gate of Xie's house. Grandma Guan and Mo Xiang won't be in the clinic tonight, so don't come back to eat and sleep, you understand?"

"Ah? How could it be like this?" Duan Qigu shouted excitedly.

The yard suddenly exploded, and there was a lot of noise.Ma Liu patted his thigh and shouted: "What can I do? Go and invite the two ancestors who refused to come, and the young lady is in such pain that it will be more troublesome to send them to the town now! The young lady said, don't invite them, Don't sleep, everyone!"

"What if Grandma Guan refuses to agree?" Dongping asked.

"If you don't agree, you will stand at the door of Xie's house all the time. I don't believe it. Grandma Guan can be so cruel! Everyone put down their jobs and went to the door of Xie's house immediately. If you can't stand, just kneel, anyway. Invite one of them!"

Everyone complained.Ma Liu shouted irritably: "What's the trouble? If you want to eat, hurry up and invite Grandma Guan or Mo Xiang! Could it be that you still plan to let the young master or young lady go?"

Dongxiang suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Ma Liu: "Ma is in charge, you don't necessarily have to shut up grandma. Isn't there a young master from the Zeng family living in the village? I heard that the young master has always been weak. There is also a doctor who understands the medicine, why don't you go and beg him?"

Ma Liu slapped his forehead fiercely, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes! I forgot about that young master! This is a good idea, it's better than going to beg the Xie family!"

Sister-in-law Xiao hurriedly said: "I have spoken to the cook who serves the young master a few times, or should I go and beg? The young master is a nice person, and he should agree."

"Okay, hurry up and ask the doctor, the young master will definitely reward you."

"Hey! I'm going right away!" Sister-in-law Xiao turned around happily and ran out of the courtyard gate.Dongxiang was worried, and followed her to the village.

Ma Liu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down at the dinner table and took two sips of wine, then threw the wine bowl and said angrily: "This is all caused by that kid Xie Manting! I'm so busy right now, he's fine. Bought land, bought a new yard, and ran away to cool off! You see, he looks so righteous on weekdays, and shrinks away when he has money. Does he still treat you as brothers? Redemption is the same, just alone The one who redeemed Deng Kailuo and Cao Haitang didn't take you guys to heart at all!"

Dongping and Shunnian felt a little uncomfortable, and they kept their heads down and didn't speak.Ma Liu glanced at them, and said with a sneer, "I was still hanging around him in the morning, and now he's drinking at his house and asking you two to go? Are you still a brother? As soon as you have money, you will turn your face and deny anyone! Just wait and see." , Deng Kailuo and Cao Haitang thought they had attained Taoism and ascended to immortality! Under him and Qin Lihua's hands, they would still be coolies!"

The people at the dinner table didn't speak, they buried their heads in their food.Everyone could tell that Ma Liu was not convinced.Seeing that the people who used to call around under his hands didn't take him seriously, how could the choking tone in his heart be smooth?

If it is about going out to work alone, he has already had this idea. Who doesn't want to live a more free life?However, the manager of the farm is a rare fat job. After a year, he can always make a profit of tens of taels of silver, so Ma Liu has been working hard.To this day, when he saw Cao Haitang and Deng Kailuo happily moving out of the farm, the sadness in his heart surged instantly.

They are all the same brothers, so why should they be free?This is what Ma Liu was most unconvinced about, but he didn't dare to ask Wang Xincheng about ransom.If you mention it, I'm afraid it will offend Wang Xinsheng, and maybe you will also check the old accounts of his stewardship in the past few years, which will be a bit troublesome.

When Ma Liu was unhappy, Gao Sangu suddenly rushed in, seeing him, she asked angrily, "Has Haitang been redeemed?" Ma Liu didn't like his mother-in-law very much, rolled his eyes and sipped his wine : "Redemption, you know?"

"Who allowed him to redeem?"

"Of course it's the young master! Did I have to ask you?" Ma Liu replied angrily.

Gao Sangu patted the back of her hand and said angrily: "He has to tell his family about the redemption, right? I just found out that he took Hongling and moved to the yard that Qin Lihua newly bought. What's the matter? I still don't What the hell? Tell me, if you redeem your body from the village, you will naturally go back home, so why would you move to someone else's house?"

Ma Liu dropped the wine bowl on the table, and said furiously, "Go find your sons and daughters! Why are you yelling at me? I am dizzy and dizzy from busy work all day long. Who has time to take care of your house?" Shit matter!"

"You...you are really unfilial!" Gao Sangu said to Ma Liu, shaking her fingers.

"Cao Meizhi is in the backyard. If you want to make trouble with her, you can go to Qin Lihua's house or burn her house down. Just don't make trouble in front of me!" Ma Liu said viciously.

The third aunt of Gao was so angry that her face turned blue, she gouged out Ma Liu's eyes, and hurried to the backyard to find Mrs. Cao.On the way, Gao Sangu meets Xiang'er.Xiang'er said that his mother was in the house, so Aunt Gao hurried to Cao's room.

After a burst of furious knocking on the door, Mrs. Cao opened the door.Third Aunt Gao immediately asked, "You're nesting in the house to hatch chicks? The door only opened after crying for so long, what are you doing?"

"What's so urgent?" Cao asked, hiding the panic in her eyes.

"What else is there? Haitang redeemed himself. I don't even know as a mother. Someone else told me to tell me where to put my face? He has money now? If he doesn't take it home to honor his parents, he just Take care of him to live a good life?"

Mrs. Cao closed the door, sat down and said, "He redeemed it himself! Xie Manting redeemed it for him!"

"What?" Senior Aunt Gao asked in surprise, "Who redeemed him? That brat named Xie? Did he eat too much? Hey, where did he get so much money?"

"Where do I know where to go? He redeemed him anyway, and Haitang is now his."

"Even if it's his, why didn't that brat bring Hongling back to live?" Mrs. Cao rolled her eyes, picked up the palm leaf fan and fanned the wind twice: "Can't blame you and dad for this? Why did you ask your father to come to the manor every day? You thought it would be enough to scare Hongling into a miscarriage? Now Haitang has a thorn in his heart, why would he go home to live? Besides, you should take care of Haitang's affairs in the future!"

"Why? I'm his mother..."

"Is it my mother?" Mrs. Cao interrupted Gao Sangu impatiently, "If you're not your mother, don't be so assertive! If it wasn't for the family's troubles, I wouldn't have sold Haitang to the village, okay? You can't die of hunger! You can just treat it like this? This is a fire pit, everyone wants to leave early!"

"Meizhi," Gao Sangu said with a sigh of relief, "Even if Haitang isn't my own, it's a good thing I'll take him along! A birth mother is as big as an adoptive mother! He just takes his wife and children outside and ignores him." Us? There is nowhere to reason!"

"Anyway, I'll still be filial to you and dad, right? Don't be too greedy!"

"When the filial piety of our son and daughter-in-law makes us greedy? Meizhi, what do you say?" When the mother and daughter were about to quarrel, Caiyin knocked on the door suddenly and said, "Housekeeper, hurry up and ask someone to cook some porridge for the young lady, she Now I am hungry again, and lost my temper again!"

Mrs. Cao nodded hastily, sent Caiyin away, and then turned to Third Aunt Gao and said, "You see, there is a third lady who beats and scolds people at the village. I'm busy, please sit down for a while, I'll take a seat." Go to the front yard and come back."

"Go, go, I'll drink two sips of tea!" Mrs. Cao hurried to the front yard to find someone to cook porridge for Wang Qiushui.While drinking tea, Gao Sangu was thinking about how to settle the debt with Haitang and Hongling.Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw something gleaming white at the foot of the cabinet of the dressing table. She couldn't see it very clearly, it looked like a shell or something.She walked over curiously, bent down to pick it up, and almost cried out in fright, it turned out to be a white pearl the size of a thumb!

"Oh, hello..." Gao Sangu was overjoyed, and hurriedly wiped the pearl on her clothes twice and said, "It's a good thing! This is a good thing! Is it worth a lot of money? My mother, Mei Zhi is so unfilial! How dare you hide such a good thing without taking it out! Hey, how much is this one worth? I’m afraid it’s enough to buy a house in the town!" I've searched all over, but unfortunately there's only one.
