Chapter 536 Waiting for the Son-in-law to Come Back
"Senior Sister Le, this way."
Xiao Lai Fu led Yin Le and sneaked into the courtyard. He pointed to the backyard and then to the main house with the door slightly closed.
Yin Le nodded to show that he understood, and waved his hand to signal him to go out and play.
After watching Xiao Fulai leave, Yin Le withdrew his gaze, secretly walked to the corridor and glanced at the backyard.
The door of my master's study was wide open. There were a few unfamiliar figures sitting inside. They picked up their chopsticks and commented on the dishes on the table, saying that this dish was delicious, that meat was fragrant, and so on, and they chewed loudly.
Yin Le scanned the people inside again before turning and heading towards the main house.
"Master." Yin Le walked in quietly and saw the woman lying on the bed taking a nap with her eyes closed.
His complexion is very rosy, and it doesn't look like he has caught a cold as Xiao Lai Fu said.
Qin Yao opened her eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them. She sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, waving her hand for Yin Le to come over.
Yin Le pointed to the backyard and asked, "Who are those people?"
"Da Lang's grandparents and uncle and aunt." Qin Yao briefly explained, took out five taels of silver from under the pillow and handed it to Yin Le, "Take the silver and go and send them away."
Yin Le asked curiously, "Master, why don't you go yourself?"
Qin Yao yawned lazily, "I have a cold, it's inconvenient."
"Really?" Yin Le glanced at his master, "Are you sure you're not afraid of trouble?"
Qin Yao raised her eyes slightly, "Just go if I tell you to go, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Yin Le took two steps back with a smile, so that he would not be unable to react in time if his master suddenly attacked him. He clasped his fists in a serious manner and said, "As you command! I'll go right away!"
Seeing Yin Le go out, Qin Yao got off the bed, sat by the window, opened a crack and paid attention to the movement in the backyard.
You should always leave some room for maneuver. When dealing with relatives like the Mo family who have clear goals and come to ask for benefits, you must never fall out with them.
Otherwise, I would definitely sing "Havoc in Heaven" for her.
The best thing is to give them something to send them away, but you can't satisfy them unconditionally.
Of course, all this is based on the other party's understanding.
I don’t know if Yin Le can handle it.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Yin Le walk in, Old Master Mo frowned and asked.
Li made a pot of pickled cabbage and pork jelly. The old man ate so much that his beard was covered with jelly. As he spoke, a piece of pickled cabbage spurted out from between his gapping teeth.
Old Mrs. Mo and Sister-in-law Mo gasped and looked at Yin Le's disfigured face with disgust.
Yin Le secretly exhaled a breath of foul air and forced a smile, "Hello, old man and old lady, my name is Yue Niang, and the owner of this house is my master."
"Master is not feeling well, so he asked me to come and greet everyone. I wonder if the food is to your taste?"
Yin Le walked to the table as he spoke, glanced at the mess on the tablecloth, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
If my master came back and saw his private territory in this state, he would probably go crazy.
Master, this move is really cruel.
Suppressing the slight sympathy he had for his own master, Yin Le gestured for everyone to continue eating. He sat down on a chair nearby and asked some polite questions.
Such as how was the harvest this year, whether the parents are in good health, etc.
After a short while, he had figured out the Mo family's background and the purpose of their visit.
The Mo family had three requests. One was that they wanted their child to go to school. Also, because their home was too far away, they wanted their child to live with his uncle and ask his uncle to help take care of him.
Yin Le secretly shook his head. This would definitely not satisfy him. There were already so many children at home making so much noise that his head was buzzing. If he took the Mo family's children over, well, tut tut tut, Yin Le didn't dare to think about that scene.
Besides, if the child moves in first, and the Mo family asks to move in later on because it would be more convenient to take care of the child, then we’ll be doomed.
Moreover, from this brief contact, Yin Le could see that the Mo family really wanted to stay.
Secondly, they want some direct benefits such as money, meat and food.
The Mo family had a hard time because of the locust plague before, and they have not recovered yet this year. In addition, the grain tax has increased this year, and although they have just finished the autumn harvest, the family can only eat vegetable porridge for every meal.
As for why they didn't come to look for their lovely brother-in-law during the locust plague, it was because the story of Wang Mawu spread to Mojia Village that year, and Qin Yao had a fierce reputation, so they didn't dare to do so.
Before coming here today, I was actually very nervous.
However, the news of Liu Ji's success in the imperial examination was even more shocking, and the fear was temporarily suppressed.
When he looked at the delicious food and drinks his family was enjoying today, he couldn't help but have other thoughts.
That is the last request.
Brother Mo wanted his brother-in-law to find him a proper job, any small clerk in the yamen would do, and it would be even better if he could be a constable.
Yin Le felt that his uncle had chosen the wrong person in this matter and he should have gone to find her master.
My master's grandfather may not be able to get my uncle into the yamen, but my master definitely can!
Of course, except for the second request, Yin Le said that the rest were all impossible.
"What do you mean impossible?" Old Mrs. Mo was anxious. She stood up suddenly, and the bone fragments scattered on her clothes fell all over the ground.
"My son-in-law is now a juren scholar. It won't be difficult to find a job for his uncle in the government!"
Old Madam Mo glared at Yin Le and scolded her, "You are young and ignorant, I won't argue with you, you say no, so it's no? I want to hear my uncle say it himself. We are not going anywhere now, we are just waiting for him to come back home!"
As he spoke, he became louder and shouted towards the front yard with a meaningful tone, fearing that the people in the main house might not hear him.
Qin Yao decisively closed the window and went to bed for a nap.
Sure enough, after a while Yin Le came to her bedside with a sad face and put the five taels of silver back.
"Master, I didn't even have the chance to take out the silver. They want too much. I can't let them take advantage of me!"
After saying that, Yin Le saw the master stuff the silver under the pillow without blinking, so he asked tentatively:
"How about I scare them?"
Qin Yao sneered, "Do I need you to scare them? Believe it or not, as long as I stand in front of them, those Mo guys won't dare to fart and will get out of here in disgrace?!"
"I have my reasons for doing this. If they want to wait, they can wait. I won't be fussy about a few meals. I will let them stay in their favorite brother-in-law's house for the next few days."
Yin Le said "oh", and stood up, thinking that it was time for him to leave. He turned back and asked curiously, "Master, what's your reason?"
Qin Yao: "It doesn't make sense, I just don't bother to care."
Yin Le frowned helplessly. Master, your answer was so perfunctory. She didn’t believe it anyway.
"Close the door for me."
Thinking of the four children going home from school in the evening, Qin Yao instructed again, "Guard the door well. Don't let them step out of the study room except to go to the toilet."
"Okay." Yin Le hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed.
I complained in my heart that I would definitely go crazy when my master came back.
