Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 160

Not to mention far away, let’s talk about Yougen’s family, Yougen’s father and second brother, directly set up a woodworking factory, and there are still endless jobs every day, and more than 20 people are hired, including Su There are also those in Xiejiao Village, and in order to facilitate the purchase by the people of Sujia Village, this woodworking workshop is directly opened in the lower courtyard where Yuanbao has been vacant.

Yuanbao only collected a small amount of rent as a symbol. Anyway, the raw materials for building this carpentry factory were all dismantled from the vacated house after the refugees moved out. Father Yougen did the labor himself. There really is!

The elder brother with roots is simply the dedicated purchaser of the entire Sujia Village. He helped Sujia Village purchase things worth more than 2000 taels of silver. Later, he opened a grocery store directly in Sujia Village, and the business was no better than his Bad in town.

As for the bricklayers, painters, veterinarians, doctors, etc. in Xiejiao Village, they are extremely busy and earn a lot of money. This is why the Su family is so popular in Xiejiao Village - follow the Su family to earn money !

There are happy ones, and naturally there are also unhappy ones, because there really is such a family, not only did not earn a penny from the Su family, but also suffered a great loss because of the Su family's prosperity.

This family is the Liu family who broke with the Su family.

To be honest, if no one mentioned it, Yuan Bao would have almost forgotten about this family, after all, she had too many things on her mind.But it can't stop us from living too close together. The small courtyard of the Su family in Xiejiao Village is next door to the Liu family, and Yougen's family is diagonally opposite to them. Before the completion of the Su family village, Yuan Bao lived there for nearly three As for Yue, even now, Yuan Bao is willing to play with You Gen, even if he has nothing to do, how can he avoid someone who keeps his head down and doesn't see him when he looks up?Besides, why should Yuan Bao avoid it?Did she do anything wrong!
In fact, the Liu family really tried to avoid it, but it was too close, how could it be possible to avoid it?From the day when the Sujia Village was first established, the members of the Liu family listened to the laughter from the neighbors, smelled the aroma of the food, and saw those who helped get a lot of benefits. Is the word "suffering" enough to describe it?

Adults can bear it no matter what, but this child can't. Liu Sanbao cries day and night because he can't eat enough milk, and the older Liu Erbao just lies on the wall and drools. Beating and scolding are useless!
The Liu family had two children whom Yuanbao had never met before leaving the village, one was Liu Erbao and the other was Liu Sanbao.Liu Erbao was born by Nian Shi, the eldest aunt of the Su brothers. He is one year older than An Anran. At the beginning, because of his birth, Liu Guirong also followed the gift. Liu Sanbao was born last winter, and he is still in his arms. He is the son of the second aunt Yuanshi.

After Yuanshi married into the Liu family, she gave birth to two daughters, Liu Erya and Liu Sanya, and she was always a little bit embarrassed in the Liu family because of this. It was not until Liu Sanbao was born that Yuanshi was given a "heart booster". "Let her raise her eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief.

It's just that Liu Sanbao was born a bit out of time. When he was born, Yuan Bao had already bought the wasteland and servants, and was rewarded by the Empress Dowager. Su Chunsheng returned to the village, and the small courtyard of the Su family next door was also full of people. Even the whole Liu family's atmosphere was gloomy.

And, not only that.

Because of the feud between the Liu family and the Su family, when Liu Sanbao was born, no midwife was willing to come to deliver the baby. Aunt Liu and Nian Shi delivered the baby to Yuan Shi. Yuan Shi suffered a lot of crimes because of this, and the milk was not good.At three o'clock in Liu Sanbao's bath, no one came to congratulate him, and he didn't even dare to invite anyone to have a drink for the full moon and the hundred days-the Liu family knew that no one dared to come!
Lizheng even asked someone to make a side note, and persuaded the Liu family to move to another village if possible. Fortunately, Mr. Liu quickly said a word, "Blood relatives, blood relatives, this breaks the bones. Muscles! To be honest, the Su family is the only relative in our family, and they are the closest relatives!"

Li Zheng thought about it with the others, and it seemed that this was really the case, so he had to give up.

However, no one has driven the Liu family away, so it’s not that everything is going well, not to mention the people in the Su family village, even the people in Xiejiao village dare not associate with the Liu family. It is the Su family, especially Yuan Bao, whose status is too high now They dare not and do not want to offend the Su family and harm their own interests because of their association with the Liu family.

This kind of life like living on an isolated island is really difficult for the Liu family. In addition, they still have a very real problem, which is the marriage of their grandchildren.

Needless to say, the three daughters of the Liu family, because of the several battles with Yuan Bao, their reputation is considered to be a stinky street. Originally, the Liu family had hoped that the rumors would be quiet in a few years, so they could find a way to marry them off. It doesn't matter how well they marry, anyway, the Liu family has never cared about the fate of the girls.

Unexpectedly, Yuanbao rose so quickly, and with the newly built Sujia Village, the refugees were very concerned about everything about the Su family, so the past of the Liu family and the Su family was always mentioned again and again, not only It has become well-known and the more it is spread, the more ugly it is. The Liu family has no chance to explain it now-no one talks to you, who do you explain to?
No matter what, the three girls were still young, so they sold them if they couldn't do it. The Liu family thought so and endured it. However, there was one child that the Liu family couldn't bear. This was Liu Dabao, the eldest son and grandson of the Liu family!

Liu Dabao is fifteen this year, and he and Su Chunsheng are nominally one year younger, but in fact, the difference is only half a year, he was born in the autumn of the first year, and Su Chunsheng was born in the spring of the following year.

In this era, when girls are 13 years old and boys are 15 years old, caring parents will start to see each other, because it is a waste of time to talk about marriage, engagement, marriage and so on. It takes three to two years and it is normal for a girl to become a child, but if a girl is over sixteen and a boy is over eighteen, if she is not engaged, she is considered an "older youth".

"Father, mother, we have to think of a way, we can't let Dabao's marriage be delayed like this!" Nian cried with snot and tears, she was really scared.

If it was the past, even if Liu Dabao hadn't made a marriage agreement at this age, Nian would not be in such a hurry, but in the current situation, the Su family is in full swing, and the Su family village is booming, not to mention three or two years, one to twenty I'm afraid I won't be able to fall in the next year, Liu Dabao really can't afford to wait!

Mrs. Liu was also wiping away her tears, while Father Liu was smoking his dry pipe, and after a long time, he said, "Go farther and search more. There is always a way!"

After hearing the words "two betrothal gifts", Nian immediately stopped crying. Why did the Liu family offend the Su family? After all, wasn't it for money? Fifty taels of silver may not be considered a big deal in the eyes of the current Su family, but in this rural family, two taels of silver can be considered a good marriage!

Liu Fugui's eyes lit up, "Father, I don't know if we are more or less suitable?" He is Liu Dabao's own father, so it doesn't seem abrupt to ask this question, especially Liu's father, who took out a copper plate from his hand. , are all quite strenuous things, so it's better to inquire about this matter clearly!
Liu Fucai and his wife also pricked up their ears. They also have sons now, so no matter what they say, they have to be treated equally. They have to listen. Later, Liu Sanbao will also have to ask for this amount!

"Just..." Father Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Just five taels of silver. Don't give it all at once. What you save is to buy things for Dabao, and I won't take it back."

Five taels of silver is really a lot, and if you count it, according to this amount, the three grandchildren are enough to share. Everyone was very happy, and then Liu Fucai and Nianshi took active actions.

As a result, their excitement didn't last long.

Yuanbao is so famous!
Not to mention the surrounding villages, there are more than a dozen counties around Qing'an County, so there is no one who doesn't know about it. The sales of the zodiac patterns were considered a huge sensation, and the sales of eggshell embroidery were exhausted by the Ni family. After a lot of publicity, it's hard for Yuan Bao not to be famous, even Xiejiao Village and Sujia Village are famous.

Originally, it was very strange for the Liu family to go to such a distant place to say goodbye, and they came from the famous "Xiejiao Village", so how could they not inquire about the "famous person" Yuanbao?After inquiring, a question arose: what would the Liu family say?
It's impossible to say that you don't know each other, and you can't hide it at all!Let’s talk about acquaintances and relatives, then there will definitely be problems, so I can only squeak, and it seems more and more abnormal.

"Father," Nian cried again, "Once this family inquires, they will know everything, and now Dabao's marriage is even more difficult to talk about." It's famous, and all the villages in ten miles and eight villages know about their festival with the Su family, let alone five taels of silver, even if it is ten taels of silver, no one wants to marry the Liu family. To marry a daughter, you have to live in Xiejiao Village For a lifetime, besides, who dares to say that this marriage will not implicate her natal family? !

And no matter how much money there is, the Liu family can't afford it!

Father Liu was helpless, and repeatedly lamented, "Miscalculation, big miscalculation!"

If I had known this before, let alone 50 taels of silver, even if it was 100 taels of silver, I shouldn't have annoyed the Su family!Look at the magnificent big house newly built by Yougen's family, the ten acres of fertile land they just bought, and the property of the family, not to mention 100 taels of silver, even 300 taels of silver, I'm afraid they won't be able to beat it!
It seemed that Su Chunsheng's awe-inspiring face appeared in front of Old Liu's eyes again, and he said loudly, "I will call you grandfather for the last time today, and I want to ask you again, is it because of the current difficulties of the Su family that you all are going to give up?" The day when we are sure that our Su family is not prosperous?! Just think in your heart that it is worth breaking with the Su family for the sake of 50 taels of silver?!"

If time could be turned back, Father Liu would definitely make a completely different choice, but unfortunately, he no longer has such an opportunity.

Father Liu finally couldn't bear such psychological pressure and fell ill.

Is Father Liu the only one who is worried?The entire Liu family was gloomy.

However, great pressure can also stimulate potential. No, Liu Fugui came up with a way, "Father, Chunsheng is not much different from our family's eldest treasure, right?"

Father Liu lay on the kang, opened his eyes slightly, "What are you talking about now? That's something we need to worry about?!"

"Eldest sister, you are always easy to talk to. Although Yuan Bao has earned money and gained fame, I think that in this Su family, Chunsheng is the head of the family after all..." After thinking about these things, Liu Fugui didn't think so. It's been a day or two, and people with eyes are watching. Su Chunsheng takes care of all the affairs of the Su family, especially recently, Su Chunsheng passed the Tongsheng exam again, and his future is even more limitless .

This time, Father Liu didn't even reply. He really didn't know what the eldest son said. !
"When we were talking about our marriage to Dabao, we met a little widow who was only sixteen, with that figure..." Liu Fugui was still talking.

Father Liu couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted tremblingly, "Get out...you get out of here..."

"Father!" Liu Fugui supported Father Liu, who was struggling to get up, and finished the sentence in one breath, "If we can persuade the eldest sister to agree to give that little widow to Chunsheng as a concubine, then there is something wrong with our family Is everything easy to handle? At that time, let alone our big treasure, even if all the children talk about a good marriage, how difficult is it?! And our family these days..."

This time it was Father Liu who interrupted Liu Fugui, "Really so handsome?!"

Liu Fugui nodded again and again. At that time, he almost couldn't hold back when he glanced at it, but he couldn't say this, he just said, "That family is greedy for money. It was for money that they married their daughter to a dying man. A sick child, so she is a widow in name, but in fact, she is still a big girl, this matter, it will be done!"

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Liu Fugui's words made more than half of Liu's illness go away, and the whole family was convened to discuss carefully.

Soon, the news spread that Liu's father was seriously ill, and it spread so well that it seemed that he was about to prepare for the funeral.

The Su family finally couldn't take it anymore. The biological father was so ill that it was really unreasonable not to visit him. Finally, Su Chunsheng agreed to let Liu Guirong visit him. Moreover, the Su brothers accompanied Liu Guirong. grand.

In fact, the Su brothers were not defenseless against the Liu family, but Father Liu also spent a lot of money this time. After he made up his mind, he dragged his sick body to take a cold bath. A good body, this time really may not be able to survive.

The scene of this meeting was very touching. The two families basically did not speak much, and they all shed tears silently. Not only did the Liu family not make any demands, they even confiscated the gift. Liu Fugui specifically mentioned, "It was agreed at the beginning. Yes, we..." Tears fell again,

Afterwards, especially after hearing that Mrs. Liu had recovered, Su Chunsheng also specially told Aunt Liang and Liang Pinzheng to pay attention to the Liu family. Naturally, I got 12 points of energy, but I didn't find anything.

In the blink of an eye, it's May, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. The crops in Yuanbao wasteland are already half a person tall, and they look very gratifying. Both Yuanbao and Su's family are living smoothly, and Liu's family has been doing nothing. , Gradually, everyone lost their guard against the Liu family.

To put it bluntly, this visit by Liu Guirong and the Su brothers has actually brought great benefits to the Liu family. At least the villagers have begun to associate with them. If this continues, the marriage of the Liu family children will not be Hopeless.

Just like the "blood relatives" that Liu's father once said, if it really comes to a critical moment, no matter what happened, the Su family will never ignore the Liu family. The Su family has demonstrated this to everyone with practical actions.

It's a pity that the current life gap between the Su family and the Liu family is too great. How can the Liu family be satisfied with the little benefits they have received? !Moreover, the Liu family is not the only one who has the idea of ​​the Su family. Even if the Liu family wants to stop, others may not agree!

In the middle of the night, a crack quietly opened at the front door of Su's house, and two figures emerged from the shadows and flashed in. After about half an hour, they flashed out again. Everything was silent, without any sound. people notice.

"As long as this is the truth, what's the point of talking like this?!" Aunt Liang said angrily, "Boss, we have to find a way!"

Yuan Bao spread his hands, "What can I do? I was originally the child bride of the Su family. Although I redeemed myself later, I really 'sleeped' with Chunsheng. This is something I can't cover up even if I want to. Can we still suffer? Going to bet on other people's mouths?!" The expression was very relaxed.

I don't know when, the "scandal" between Yuan Bao and Su Chunsheng gradually began to spread in the village, not many, but not many.

"You don't need to block others' mouths, just tell your wife to tell you!" Aunt Liang is older and more cautious in doing things, "It's not a problem at all!"

Yuan Bao asked, "Even if it's clear, what's the point of two families like us living together?"

"Didn't you mean the adopted daughter?" Aunt Liang had already thought about this.

Yuan Bao didn't make a sound.

Liang Xiulian came over to pull Aunt Liang, "Oh, grandma, let the master think about it!"

After the grandparents and grandchildren left the house, Liang Xiulian said, "Grandma, haven't you seen it yet? My boss is happy to see it happen!"

Aunt Liang shook her head resolutely, "Even if you have this intention, you can't do things like this! How old is the owner? The days to come are still long! Who knows what will happen?" She took Liang Xiulian's hand and taught earnestly, "This girl The reputation of the child's family is extremely important, no matter who is right or wrong, in the end, it must be the woman who suffers, you must always remember this!"

"Yeah." After Liang Xiulian nodded in response, she was also a little worried, "Then what should I do about the boss?"

Mrs. Liang thought for a while, "It's really not possible, even if we make an appointment first!" Thinking again, "No, if this is an engagement, we should co-author it to avoid suspicion!" Shaking her head, she said, "Alas, What a hassle!"
