Chapter 704: Disdain

Li Lancao didn't have the chance to finish what she was saying, but she was not convinced!

After all, she had asked Ye Yunliang to find work for Zhao Dabao, and her two sons in the city.

To be honest, after hearing the arrangements made by Zhao Baofeng and Ye Yunsheng, she really looked down on them.

Who would want to farm when there are jobs in the city?

When she heard that Liu Datao was plotting against her and asking her to do housework, she immediately quit and said, "Mom, I appreciate the kindness of my second sister and her husband.

Our eldest son has other things to do, so he won't go to help out at my second sister's house."

"this?"

Zhao Fugui's face flushed with anger. He looked at Zhao Dabao and said, "Dabao, is what your wife said true?"

Zhao Dabao was present throughout the entire process of Li Lancao giving money to Ye Yunliang.

He was hesitating in his heart just now. If he agreed to his second sister now, what if the third son of the Ye family sent a letter asking him to go to the city to work? How would he tell his second sister then? It would be better to refuse now, so that he could save a lot of trouble.

Zhao Dabao stood up and said, "Well, me, Dad, my second brother-in-law, my second sister, Feng's mother is right. We do have plans for the next few days, so I won't go to work at my second sister's place for now.

If you really need help, go find someone else to help you!"

Liu Datao was so anxious that he pushed Zhao Dabao aside and said, "You are already an adult, don't you have any idea?

Your second sister is helping us, you, how can you not know what is good for you!"

Li Lancao glanced at Liu Datao and said, "Mom, who are you calling ungrateful?

What do you mean by "Second sister helping us"? My second sister-in-law's nephew has several shops in the town and the county.

If she really wants to help us, she has to arrange Dabao, Erbao, Zhao Feng, Zhao Qi, and Zhao Ning to work in her nephew's shop.

Everyone knows how tiring it is to open up new land!

The work in the shop is so easy, and the daily wages are better than those paid for land reclamation."

Zhao Baofeng sneered, "I'm afraid I can't do what you said, sister-in-law.

After all, I don't own the shop, so I can't bring myself to ask for help."

Li Lancao raised her head and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't ask you to ask for help.

However, we really don't like the work you do, so don't let your eldest brother go to your house and work like a slave for you."

“That’s enough!”

Zhao Fugui shouted, "I'm not dead yet, it's not your turn to speak here."

The room suddenly became quiet.

Liu Cuiyu took this opportunity to glance at Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning nodded.

She stood up, picked up the teapot, and filled everyone's cups with tea. "It's too cold, the water will get cold soon.

Everyone quickly drank the water in their cups while it was still hot."

Liu Datao glared at Li Lancao fiercely, then glanced at Li Dabao, "Since you don't want to go, then don't go. If you go, your second sister will have to pay more than one or two taels of silver in wages every month.

But let’s make it clear first, you must never regret this.

Old family, don't make a fuss then."

"Look at what my mother said, I am the petty one!"

Liu Datao was really reluctant to give up the 40-cent daily wage, so he discussed with Zhao Fugui, "Why don't we choose one of the younger generations to follow Erbao?"

Li Lancao quickly said, "Mom, don't think about our eldest wife anymore. We all have things to do."

Liu Datao looked at Li Lancao's arrogance. If her second son-in-law and second daughter hadn't been there, she would have slapped her.

They also have things to do in the eldest house. Except for Zhao Dabao, everyone is lazier than the other. This kind of words can be used to deceive others, but when they are said to their own family, they are not afraid of getting tongue-tied.

Liu Cuiyu stood up and discussed with Liu Datao, "Mom, why don't we let Zhao Ning go with his father?"

She exchanged glances with Zhao Ning, who then stood up. "Grandma, I'm willing to follow my dad to work at my second aunt's house."

"this?"

Liu Datao looked at Ye Yunsheng again. Although Zhao Ning was almost sixteen years old, he was too thin. She was afraid that Ye Yunsheng would dislike Zhao Ning's thinness and would not be able to work if she went there. She would still have to pay her wages and provide meals. This was a losing business and no one, even relatives, would be willing to do it.

From the very beginning, Zhao Baofeng and Ye Yunsheng liked Zhao Ning. Just now, when they heard that the child had taken the initiative to ask to come to their house to work, they were both very happy.

Zhao Baofeng stepped forward, took Zhao Ning's hand, and said distressedly, "You are such a good child. You and your father can come to my house tomorrow. Your aunt will make you some delicious food and nourish you well."

Ye Yunsheng also smiled and said, "Didn't your grandfather say that you have studied? It just so happens that there is a new school in our village.

When you have finished your housework, come and listen."

Zhao Erbao rubbed his hands excitedly, "How can that be possible? We have to work here, and we can't let it get delayed."

Zhao Baofeng really didn't want to talk to them anymore, "Dad, Mom, this is settled.

Then the boss and I will go back first.

Erbao, remember to come to my house early tomorrow morning!

Mother, there is one more thing. If my second brother and his wife and the girls learn needlework, they won’t be allowed to do the rough work at home.”

"I know, I know."

After seeing off Zhao Baofeng and Ye Yunsheng, Zhao Fugui and Liu Datao scolded Li Lancao for a while, and also scolded Zhao Dabao.

Zhao Dabao felt extremely aggrieved, but he couldn't tell the truth. After all, the five taels of silver were his and Li Lancao's private money.

"Dad, Mom, please stop talking. I'm already a grown-up, I definitely know what's going on."

"You have a plan, but what can you possibly plan? Your next two sons are about to get married."

Li Lancao brought up the old story again, "Dad, Mom, Zhao Feng is so old and still hasn't found a wife, isn't it all your fault?

If you had insisted on letting Suyun marry us, our family wouldn't have had such a hard time!"

"Just go ahead and daydream!

With your character, even if your second sister still has some sibling affection in her heart, she will be tormented by you."

Li Lancao rolled her eyes, "Mom, does she care about the relationship between siblings?

You are joking!"

The more Zhao Fugui listened, the angrier he became. He simply waved his hand and sent everyone away.

In this way, his ears can also be quiet.

When Liu Cuiyu and Zhao Erbao's family returned to their own room, she warned Zhao Erbao, "Don't be lazy when you go to my second sister's house!"

Zhao Erbao grinned, "Do I need your advice on this kind of thing?"

"After listening to my second sister's words today, I suddenly felt hopeful.

You and Zhao Ning work hard, and Huier, Zhener and I will do needlework well, so that we can work hard together as a family.

When we save some money, we will find a good school for Zhao Ning so that he can settle down and study well for two years.

Regardless of whether one passes the imperial examination or not, as long as one has knowledge, the work he does will be easier than that of an illiterate person."
