Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 43

Wen Yue, who pushed the door out, saw Fang Dachuan holding Man'er and waiting outside the house at first sight. The two pairs of eyes that bloomed with joy when seeing her made Wen Yue happy to the bottom of her heart. She took Man'er from Fang Dachuan's hands. Eager to know the outcome of the conversation between Fang Dachuan and Lizheng, she dragged Fang Dachuan into the corner of the kitchen.

The tacit understanding between husband and wife allowed Fang Dachuan to know what Wen Yue was thinking the moment he was pulled by Wen Yue. After standing still, Da Chuan smiled and said: "Seeing how impatient you are, I thought I was obvious enough."

Wen Yue pulled Man'er's little hand out of her mouth, gave Fang Dachuan a look and said, "I just roughly guessed that the result was good, but I don't know the specifics. Tell me when you have some time now." Say it."

Seeing that Wen Yue was really in a hurry, Fang Dachuan nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let me talk, let me talk."

He went to Lizheng's house early in the morning, and Lizheng was taken aback, thinking that something difficult had happened to Fang's house.Later, after hearing about Fang Dachuan's intentions, Li Zheng agreed without hesitation.These days, my niece learns embroidery from Fang's daughter-in-law every day, and even my second daughter-in-law boasted that her daughter's embroidery work is getting better and better. With such a big benefit from her, it is appropriate to open the door for convenience.

What's more, there is nothing embarrassing about what the Fang family asked for. Everything is done according to the rules. They just want him to be far away from the Fang family when allocating the house, and to pay more for the settlement fee. , Speak harshly.It was not difficult for him to cooperate with these things, but seeing Fang Dachuan's serious look aroused his curiosity about his colleagues and his contempt for the two women who were coming to settle down.

Wen Yue, who was aware of it, did not go to Zhou Lizheng's house with Fang Dachuan and the others. When they went out, they should have been worried that there would be no women to keep up, so Zhao, who was not at ease at first, braved the severe cold to follow.

When they came back, Mrs. Zhao and the sisters of the Guo family didn't look very good. As soon as they entered the room, Mrs. Zhao said to Wen Yue: "Do you know how much money Zhou Lizheng asked them for settlement? Four taels, yes." Siliang, I'm so mad, you can pay for it even when you don't leave the gate. Girls of the Guo family, come here, old lady, I have something to ask you."

Mrs. Zhao let go of Wen Yue's hand, and called Guo Liniang and Guo Lixue, who were about to enter the west room. Seeing her, Fang Tongye hurriedly said, "Mother, what are you calling Liniang and the others for? We've just been away for so long. What are you waiting for to rest?" Okay, can't you say it again?"

Mrs. Zhao gave Fang Tongye a blank look: "Who are you unhappy with? I can't even ask them if I have something to do. My wife doesn't even cry tired. Why are they tired at such a young age?" She scolded Fang Tongye angrily. After a few words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his voice was also very gentle: "Miss Guo, are you really tired? If you are really tired, I will wait until then."

It's just that she doesn't know how deliberate and uncomfortable her forced smile and voice are in the eyes of others.

Guo Liniang looked at Mrs. Zhao's distorted smile, and although she was bored in her heart, she replied without any hesitation: "Auntie, you are too polite, why am I tired, do you have anything to explain?"

"Good boy, we are not relatives, not old friends. How can I tell you anything, I just want to know, when do you plan to move? He is a fool in his studies, and he doesn't know the difficulties of the world, so he just opened his mouth and agreed. For the matter of getting four taels of silver for you, he should have agreed. But no matter how much you spend on living in the future, you dare not let us pay for it. We are also a small family, and we really can’t afford it. "Ms. Zhao was not polite, and directly said what was in her heart.

She didn't want to spend any more money on these two women. Just now at Lizheng's house, the colleague in the same industry agreed to take money for Guo Liniang, forcing Da Chuan to pay the settlement money for them.But it was only this time, if she still wanted to spend her own money again, she would try her best not to agree.That's why she said her thoughts first, which is also called ugly words first, lest she will be scolded by a shrew later, and she will feel tired when she gets older.

Guo Liniang lowered her head slightly with a look of embarrassment, but her eyes glanced in the direction of Fang Tongye, so that Fang Tongye, who had been looking at her, could just see the sadness in her eyes.

As expected, Fang Tongye said as she wished: "Mother, what are you talking about? Sister Liniang has suffered enough, and now they have come to our house from a long distance. We can no longer keep them living together to protect us." Well, what can I do if I can help with money? But they are all yellow and white vulgar things, so they can't compare to the friendship between us."

Mrs. Zhao was too lazy to listen to Fang Tongye's nonsense, and knew that it would be unreasonable to reason with him, and she couldn't justify Fang Tongye with her mouth, so she ignored him at all, and continued to watch Guo Liniang persistently wanting Guo Liniang to give it to her. A positive answer.

Guo Liniang wanted to pretend she couldn't see it, but after a long time, except for Fang Tongye's non-stop yelling "Mother, mother", there was no other sound in the room at all.Everyone has made it so obvious that if she pretends not to see it, it is really unreasonable. While she secretly scolded Fang Tongye for being useless, Guo Liniang also quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

She is not Fang Tongye, how can she not know how important money is?If she didn't know that Fang Tongye was blind to money, and mastering him was like mastering his money, how could she insist on finding out whether the Fang family was poor or rich?
Now this dead old woman is not willing to spend money on herself, but she is also not willing to use her own money, and now she can only rely on her own ability to see who can handle Fang Tongye.

"Auntie, our sisters were originally fleeing, otherwise we would not have encountered Brother Fang who rescued him in a difficult situation and went on the road together with him. As long as our sisters have money in their hands, we would not be so brazen to rely on you , I still need you to pay us money to help us settle down, to be honest, even if you don’t ask me, I don’t know how our sisters will live in the future.” Guo Liniang wiped away tears again as she spoke.

Before Zhao could respond to Guo Liniang's words, Guo Lixue, who had been standing behind Guo Liniang without much sense of presence, suddenly said timidly: "Although people often say that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, but our sisters When I rescued Big Brother Fang, I really didn’t think too much about it, and I didn’t mean to ask for favors in return. We really have difficulties, and we can’t do it for it.”

Wen Yue was laughing at Man'er who was kicking her arms and legs on the kang and trying to crawl hard. Wen Yue felt very relaxed after Mrs. Zhao said those words just now, so Guo Liniang just looked at Fang Tongye with a protective flower Does your heart have a good face?But now that there is Mrs. Zhao at home, the Dinghaishenzhen who can put up a face for the sake of the family, she doesn't believe that Guo Liniang can really be as thick-skinned as Mrs. Zhao?But if that's the case, it is estimated that her image in Fang Tongye's heart will be greatly reduced, and Guo Liniang will definitely not do such a thing.

It was precisely because of Wen Yue's understanding that she felt that it was only a matter of time before Sister Guo Liniang was invited to leave without spending a penny.Who would have thought that Guo Lixue, who was usually tepid and always hidden behind Guo Liniang, would give her such a big surprise today. I never expected that she is not simple!

"What do you mean?" Guo Lixue's words were still somewhat difficult for Zhao Shi to understand. They were all polite words, and Zhao Shi was really terrified when she heard them.

"Oh..." Wen Yue smiled, looked at Guo Lixue and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Grandma, what Miss Guo means is that we are too ungrateful. They saved the father-in-law's life in a crisis, but we don't think about how to do it." To repay, but to drive people out. He is a generous person, and he never thought of using this kindness to ask us for anything, but it is true that we have encountered difficulties and there is nothing we can do, but what we do is a bit of a villain .”

Guo Lixue's complexion became paler and paler as Wen Yue blurted out the explanation word by word, and finally waved her hands hurriedly after Wen Yue stopped: "I didn't mean that, you misunderstood, really, don't misinterpret my words mean."

In fact, she did have that meaning, shouldn't she repay the favor she received?He just spent some money, so why treat him like Qiu, without giving him any face?But why did her words sound so harsh and provocative after being translated?She just wanted to be sarcastic, right? !Guo Lixue looked at Wen Yue with big eyes full of accusations, and blamed Wen Yue for being so aggressive and ruthless.

Mrs. Zhao's explanation to Wen Yue took a long time to understand, and she looked at Guo Liniang and Guo Lixue with bad expressions: "I'm talking about you two girls, why don't you say this to me? That's right. , You have helped my colleague. He twisted his foot and was taken care of by you. Our colleague said it was life-saving, and you also said it was life-saving.

Well, we didn't recruit you if you wanted to think so, so we just admitted it. Who told us that we weren't there at the time.But you can't lie to yourself until you believe it, can you really save your life if you sprain your foot?For this kind of favor, our colleagues used 50 taels of silver to repay the favor, 50 taels!Miss Guo, did you really spend all your time treating our colleagues? "

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's cloudy eyes stare straight at her, Guo Liniang's heart trembled. Does this old woman know something?Impossible, how would she know the expenses of the three of them this year?What's more, she told Fang Tongye about the use of every sum of money, and it was impossible to show her flaws.

Thinking of this, she calmed down, gritted her teeth and looked at Mrs. Zhao aggrievedly, "Auntie, how can you doubt my character? All the money has indeed been spent, and every time I use a sum of money, I will follow you." Brother Fang has confessed, and he is also clear."

Fang Tongye nodded again and again and said, "That's right, mother, why are you still mentioning this? Didn't I make it clear to you a long time ago?" He looked extremely impatient. After seeing Guo Liniang's strong appearance , even a little bit of dissatisfaction with Zhao.

Zhao's fingers stretched and squeezed in the long sleeves, squeezed and stretched, and finally suppressed her desire to fan Fang Fang's colleagues, but the anxious Hao's mind was blank except for anger. Know what to say.

When Guo Liniang saw that Mrs. Zhao had lost her voice, her eyes flashed with pride: Sure enough, this Tongye Fang is Mrs. Zhao's weakness. As long as Mr. Fang is obedient, Mrs. Zhao is nothing.

Wen Yue didn't like Guo Liniang's success, so she turned her eyes and said, "Aunt Guo, you and I know what's going on. My grandma and I are housekeepers. What's the matter with money?" Can we not know this usage? People, it’s almost enough, and sooner or later you will spit it out if you take advantage of it. This is also a matter of accumulating blessings for yourself, don’t you think so?”
