Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 170 The Level of Greed

With Su Chunsheng as a child, the Liu family would not have abused Liu Guirong and her daughter to the point of starvation and beatings. He often sneaks back some food to supplement nutrition for Su Qiaoqiao and Liu Guirong.

At the same time, life in the Liu family did not become easier because of bullying Liu Guirong's mother and daughter. With Yuan Bao's continuous teaching, the level of female celebrities in Xiejiao Village and Sujia Village has reached a new level as a whole. The netting is no longer good, and the price has dropped, and the craftsmanship has been lost for so long, and the eyesight is not very good, it does not mean that you can pick it up, whether it is speed or quality There is an overall decline, and the addition of the two will greatly reduce Liu Guirong's income, and he cannot afford to support the children of the Su family.

This is why Su Chunsheng said to Yuan Bao that everyone is more patient. When the hope of the Liu family is consumed over time and can no longer offset the difficulties in reality, it will only be a matter of time before the Su family is kicked out. .

However, no one expected that the first to lose patience was neither the soft-hearted Yuan Bao nor the greedy and stupid Liu family!

It is already May, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and the seedlings in the ground have grown to waist height. Looking up, there is a large green area with no end in sight, which makes people feel special Joy and ease.

The people working in the fields raised their heads by chance and found a green cloth carriage driving towards the village along the wide and flat road, heading towards the Su family compound.

Su Chunsheng, who heard the report from his servants, came out to welcome him. When he saw the two people who got off the carriage, he couldn't help being overjoyed, "I've seen the head of the mountain, I've seen the gentleman." He saluted respectfully.

When Yuan Bao was invited into the main hall of the courtyard, he saw two people sitting on the main seat, an old man with a white beard and an old man with a black beard. Judging from their attire, they were both scholars.

Through Su Chunsheng's introduction, Yuan Bao learned that the old man with white beard is the county's instructor and head of the county school. The teacher in that class, that is, the deputy director of the Education Bureau plus the class teacher, may also be the school's teaching director. In short, these two people have a lot of background, they are both court officials, like eighth-rank officials.

Seeing these two people, Yuan Bao was very nervous. It wasn't that she had never seen an official. When the village was first built, the mayor and the county magistrate had met and talked. The father-in-law and some officials also met.

But the mood at that time was different, at least Yuan Bao knew what happened, and these two suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao really didn't know why, what was even more frightening was that because of the refusal of marriage to Ni's mansion, Yuan Bao was always afraid that the Ni family would retaliate against the Su family.

"Ahem," said Uncle Discipline amidst Yuan Bao's hesitation, "It's really rude for us to visit Miss Yuan Bao today, because we didn't expect Chunsheng to be here, so we came here rashly."

Even though he was afraid in his heart, Yuan Bao remained calm on the surface. After seeing the ceremony, he smiled lightly and said, "You two gentlemen are too polite." After that, he said nothing very implicitly, intending to see the trick.

It's just that this uncle's tricks are really a bit messy. He continued, "Since ancient times, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The heirs of a family are the most important thing. It is necessary to spread branches and leaves. Women should come out of seven. In the article, 'jealousy' is one of them..."

Yuan Bao was confused when he heard this, and remembering that they said they were looking for Su Chunsheng just now, he couldn't help but think, are they going to be a matchmaker for Su Chunsheng?To be honest, Su Chunsheng has indeed reached his age, so he couldn't help but become more nervous, and cast a questioning look at Su Chunsheng.

Su Chunsheng just smiled reassuringly at Yuan Bao, which meant that no matter what happened, he would take care of it.

So Yuan Bao patiently listened to the lecturer, and properly showed a confused look.

The instructor was a little embarrassed, stroked his short beard, and got to the point, "Both Su Chunsheng and Su Qiusheng are malleable talents, it would be a pity to give up studies because of poor family background, why don't I make Miss Yuanbao a As a guarantee, the repayment of the Su family's debts will be postponed, so how about letting them go to school first?"

Yuan Bao suddenly realized that these two had come to her to save the drop-out children. After a long sigh of relief, she put on a smile on her face, "No guarantee," she wanted to say that there was no need to pay back, but she didn't know. What did Su Chunsheng say earlier, what if he agrees to exempt tuition?Isn't it a loss?So she said, "I'm not in a hurry to return it..." After thinking about it, it was really a big worry for her that the Su brothers didn't go to school, so she added, "If necessary, I can also help you for free." The brothers lived in their courtyard in the city, and they had something to say.

"Hahaha..." The white-bearded old man was the first to laugh out loud, "As expected, Miss Yuan Bao lives up to her reputation, she is a person who knows propriety, benevolence and righteousness!" Turning to look at Su Chunsheng, "Then there is no problem now, right?"

Su Chunsheng smiled wryly. After the two entered the door, they asked the Su brothers why they dropped out of school. He just said that he was unable to study after the separation, and they asked to see Yuan Bao. He was not easy to stop him, knowing that they had misunderstood. , but had no chance to say it, but, it’s okay, the effect will be better if Yuan Bao speaks out, he just needs to explain a simple sentence, "The reason why the students and brothers can't go to school is never Yuan Bao, but my mother. No."

Sure enough, the two gentlemen were surprised, "Why?"

Su Chunsheng shook his head and sighed, "I don't talk about my parents' faults, and I shouldn't show my family's ugliness to the outside world. But today, facing the kindness of my husband, the student is really ashamed, so I have to speak up." Let the two of you have a look at the bill. In this bill, there is not only the amount of silver ingots used by the Su family, but also how the money was spent.

"Student and Yuanbao started in poverty. Yuanbao sold his body to bury his father for me, saved the lives of my mother, younger brother and younger sister, and sponsored the students and brothers to study and support their families. It is difficult to describe the deep love and kindness. Although the student and Yuanbao have no relationship The marriage letter, but there is a verbal promise that the student will live up to the ingot in this life, will not accept concubines, will not regret the marriage, and will treat her sincerely, and only want to repay them one by one when she is able..." After the two gentlemen read it, Su Chunsheng said slowly, and first helped Yuan Bao to wash away the charge of "jealousy".

"A gentleman honors his promise, how can a student do such ungrateful things after being rich? Let the young Yuan Bao raise a concubine for me while supporting my family? There is no such reason in the whole world!" Su Chunsheng said loudly. Su, what he said was from the bottom of his heart, and then changed the topic, "But, knowing this, my mother still took the student behind her back and took three concubines for the student. What kind of face does this make students stand in the world and face Yuanbao?!"

The two gentlemen were stunned for a moment. To be honest, they had heard about the affairs of the Su family, but they didn't know the details. After all, they all thought that Yuan Bao's current status and worth were different from before, so they decided to "Tsundere", just taking advantage of Su Chunsheng's concubine to drive the Su family out. How should I say this, it is reasonable but unreasonable, so there is the great truth in the opening paragraph of Disciplining the Uncle.

Seeing that they understood, Su Chunsheng continued to break the news, "The two teachers may have noticed that in the account owed to Yuanbao, the student and brother's academic expenses only accounted for a part, but the support of the family accounted for the majority. It’s because my mother has high requirements in life, and the student can’t live on, so I can only turn to Yuan Bao for help many times, although Yuan Bao is generous, but the student’s heart..."

"That's all!" The teacher's temper was more anxious, and he patted the armrest of the seat lightly, "Leaving aside the past, now that Yuanbao is generous, you can choose a day to enroll in school, and the matter of supporting your family..." He looked up at the teacher enjoin.

But before the instruction was given, Su Chunsheng said, "Yuan Bao still contributes to the students to support their families, but the mother is dissatisfied." He was talking about the fifty cash per month.

This time even the teaching was annoyed, "Why is that so reasonable?! I want to see this lady!"

Su Chunsheng couldn't stop him, Yuan Bao was happy to see it succeed, if there was a way to solve the problem of the Su brothers going to school, that would be great, and he would send someone to invite them immediately.

Su Chunsheng warned, "I even called my two brothers and told them that the masters from the school are here and asked us to study. Let them come and see you quickly." A seemingly casual sentence has a lot of meaning Deep meaning, and Liu Guirong and the Liu family did live up to Su Chunsheng's "expectations".

Su Qiusheng brought Su Chengan and came soon. It wasn't far away. At the beginning, the bridge and the yard were built near the small courtyard of the Su family. They were afraid that if the family lived separately one day, it would be difficult. Convenience.

But Liu Guirong waited and waited and didn't come, so the instructor asked Su Qiusheng, "Will Ling Tang be there when you came? Did you make it clear?"

Su Qiusheng nodded, "Yes, my mother seldom goes out, and the student made it clear." Seeing that it was too long, he stood up and said, "Why don't you invite the students again." After getting permission, he turned and went out.

Why is Liu Guirong so slow?The Su brothers and Yuan Bao knew it well, it must be Liu Guirong and the Liu family who were discussing, they have been left out for so many days, so what kind of anxiety do they feel, needless to say?Now that Yuan Bao actually took the initiative to invite them, why don't they think carefully about how to get more benefits from it?

Especially when they heard that the teacher from the county school had come, they would naturally feel more dependable, and felt that Yuan Bao couldn't bear the pressure, so how could they give up this opportunity to bite Yuan Bao hard? !Coupled with Su Qiusheng's repeated invitations this time, they were even more certain: Yuan Bao is afraid!So, once Su Qiusheng came to invite them, it whetted their appetite once!

Almost an hour passed, and Su Qiusheng invited him twice. The Liu family hadn't discussed it properly yet, but Su Chunsheng thought it was too shameful, so he gave them an ultimatum. The gentlemen were about to leave, and Liu Guirong came late, and he did not come alone, followed by Father Liu and his son and daughter-in-law, because the Liu family had not yet discussed how to "divide the spoils", there were conflicts, and there were conflicts between them. I didn't trust them either, so I had to be present.

When the Liu family came in, except for the guests, everyone stood up to greet them, and Yuan Bao was no exception. In the junior ceremony, Liu Guirong walked up to Yuan Bao proudly, and after a heavy "hum", he said, "Yo, Yuan Bao Why did the eldest lady think of inviting me, a poor woman, here today? Is there something I want to ask for?!"

This made Yuan Bao answer, so he had to salute again, "There is indeed something." With a respectful attitude, no matter how disdainful or angry he was, Yuan Bao was unwilling to lose the face of the Su family in front of outsiders, especially the one who came today. Two people, it is really important to the future career of the Su brothers, no matter how flattering they are, it is not enough!
Unexpectedly, Yuan Bao's attitude of staying low and being small, on the contrary, made Liu Guirong's arrogance a little bit higher, and raised the price in his heart.

Liu Guirong greeted the two gentlemen with a good attitude, although she didn't know that these two men were not ordinary teachers, but also county officials. In short, those who could help her get silver from Yuanbao were all good people .

After sitting down, Su Chunsheng spoke first, "Mother, the two gentlemen want me and Qiusheng to continue our studies. Yuanbao promised that the family's debts can be suspended, and our Shuxiu Yuanbao can also advance the payment." mouth, he knew that next, Liu Guirong would definitely perform well.

Liu Guirong listened quietly at first, and then asked back, "And then? Is it over? How will we live as a big family? Yuan Bao, tell me!" I had no idea at all until the two gentlemen's faces turned black.

If they still had some doubts about what they said to Su Chunsheng at the beginning, then Liu Guirong's "being late" and his current performance have convinced them completely. In the state of living together, my heart is completely biased towards Yuan Bao's side, not to mention, I feel incredible for such a "wonderful flower" like Liu Guirong.

Because the Liu family came, Yuan Bao asked them to sit in front. At this time, Su Chengan and Su Chengan fell behind, a little far away from Liu Guirong. Unable to answer, Liu Guirong simply gave Liu Guirong a bigger performance space, and said bluntly, "I have nothing to say, let's discuss it!"

"Okay!" Yuan Bao showed weakness again and again today, which made Liu Guirong elated, and immediately said, "If you let them go to study and leave us behind, then you have to make up for us. The first thing, the money is yours. The one you are willing to give is not considered owed, even the debt you owed in the past will be forgiven! This second article, you have delayed their work, you have to give me 1000 taels per person, listen carefully, It’s per person, Chunsheng and Qiusheng add up to 2000 taels, if you like An’an and want him to go to school, you have to give me 3000 taels!” I’m afraid Yuanbao couldn’t hear you clearly, Liu Guirong said that Loudly, I don't think there is anything inappropriate about what I said.

But Liu Guirong's voice fell, and Father Liu said again, "Back then Chunsheng accepted our Liu family's eldest and second daughters as concubines, and the dowry has not yet been given. We thought they were all relatives of our own family, and the Su family fell again. Difficult, so I didn’t say anything, but since Chunsheng and Qiusheng are going to study now, these two concubines not only have to live and board in our house, but also have to be taken care of by us, so the betrothal gift is unavoidable, 300 each Two, a total of 600 taels!" He heard that Liu Guirong didn't mention the Liu family, so why wait so anxiously!

"Oh, Dad," after Old Liu finished speaking, Liu Fugui who was sitting next to him pulled him, "How is that girl so easy to raise? From now on, Chunsheng will be a great master, and the concubine will have to be pampered." Yes, this little money is not enough!" Liu Fugui felt that Father Liu was running out of money.

Xundao and his old partner were stunned. They couldn't imagine what the Liu family had in their heads. Xundao even forgot to lose his temper. He was only curious, and asked, "Mrs. Su, Why do you ask Miss Yuan Bao for so much money?" This is simply making trouble for no reason!

Because Su Chunsheng and Yuanbao have been silent all this time, and the tone of the instruction is considered calm, Liu Guirong didn't feel any sense of crisis at all, and lowered his voice a little and said, "Don't worry, sir, this Yuanbao, she has a lot of silver, it's nothing more than a bit of a money fan , you two help me to suppress her, she will definitely be reluctant to part with my three sons, and she will definitely be able to take them out."

No one doubts that Yuanbao can get it, so will Yuanbao take out this money?
In fact, Yuanbao will!

If these children of the Su family can completely get rid of Liu Guirong from now on, let alone more than 4000 taels of silver, even 1 taels, Yuanbao is willing to pay, all because Liu Guirong is really annoying, and Yuanbao is so annoying. Willing to pay for the children of the Su family.

After being reminded by Liu Fugui, Father Liu said, "Since this is the case, the two daughters in our family should also pay 1000 taels each!" However, he does not have such a strong sense of dependence as Liu Guirong. After all, Su Chunsheng and Su Chunsheng Qiusheng is not his descendant, so he added in a smart way, "After the matter is completed, I will definitely prepare a generous gift for the two gentlemen!"

The Jiaoyu sighed, "No wonder, the list said that the Su family invaded Miss Yuanbao's property. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" The voice was not loud, as if talking to himself language.

But Liu Guirong was unwilling, "Sir, you can't say that. It's not that she doesn't have Yuanbao, she has it." It seems that if Yuanbao has it, she should give it to her, and she has always thought so, so I have to say , Yuan Bao's kindness and concern for the children of the Su family fueled Liu Guirong's greed. Seeing that the two gentlemen were unmoved, he further persuaded, "I raised her with shit and piss, and she is filial. I deserve it."

The instructor asked, "But I saw that it was written on the list that Yuan Bao started supporting the family within half a year after arriving at the Su family. Is this false?" It was Liu Guirong who acted too naturally, which made people feel a little uncertain.
