"Sister Yan Yan!" Xu Yaozu also stepped forward and looked at Lin Shu Yan.
This piece of cloth was the first one Jiang Jingyi took a liking to. If we don't take it, wouldn't he look down on us?
“We bought too much. Young Master Ye, this hundred taels of silver isn’t just for me and Brother Xuan, but also for buying precious medicinal herbs to help him recover,” Lin Shuyan said, biting her lip with a hint of grievance.
"Sister Yan Yan, I really like this piece of fabric." Xu Yaozu said with a frown, so focused on showing off in front of Jiang Jingyi that he completely ignored the look Lin Shuyan was giving him.
"In that case, we don't need the clothes, but we can keep the fabric," Xu said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yan Yan, when we run out of money, we can just ask Young Master Ye for more. After all, we saved him," Madam Xu said matter-of-factly.
It was she and Brother Xuan who saved Young Master Ye!
Lin Shuyan inwardly cried out in dissatisfaction.
"Aunt, this will leave a bad impression on Young Master Ye," Lin Shuyan said, forcing a smile.
"Deducting the two sets of clothing, that's forty taels of silver," the shopkeeper said.
"Yan Yan, hurry up and give us the money," Madam Xu urged. "We still need to buy other things later!"
Lin Shuyan had no choice but to take out the one hundred taels of silver notes that Ye Shaoling had given her and hand them to the cloth shop manager.
Jiang Hua also took the cloth she bought and rode back to the village by oxcart shortly after they left.
Besides Lin Shuyan and her group from the cloth shop, Xu also bought a lot of rice, flour, meat, and vegetables.
Of course, Lin Shuyan paid for it all; she had already decided to hide the ten taels of silver that Madam Xu had given her.
In contrast to Xu Shi's overwhelming joy, Lin Shuyan looked miserable, having spent forty taels of silver at the cloth shop.
After arriving at the market, I bought all sorts of things and spent another ten taels of silver. Today's trip has cost me fifty taels of silver.
...
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! Where did you get the money to buy so much fine fabric, and all this rice, flour, meat, and vegetables?!"
As soon as she got home, Madam Xu saw that the table was almost overflowing with stuff and immediately started scolding Madam Xu.
After returning, Xu Yaozu went into his room to read, completely ignoring everything else.
"Grandma!" Lin Shuyan looked at Madam Xu with red eyes, then looked at Madam Xu, and finally said nothing, sadly returning to her room.
Having never seen Lin Shuyan so upset, Madam Xu stopped scolding Madam Xu and rushed to comfort her.
"Yan Yan, what's wrong?" Madam Xu asked with concern.
"Grandma, Young Master Ye gave me one hundred taels of silver." Lin Shuyan was interrupted by Madam Xu before she could finish speaking.
"What! One hundred taels of silver?" Madam Xu exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandma, this is medicine that Young Master Ye asked me to buy for him to heal his injuries. My aunt used half of it today."
"I don't even have enough money to buy medicine for Young Master Ye now," Lin Shuyan cried.
"That damned bitch actually spent fifty taels of silver!" Upon hearing this, Madam Xu immediately burst into curses!
Everyone knows that Young Master Ye is their god of wealth, and this shameless woman actually spent the money that the god of wealth should have spent on medicine!
"Grandma, I don't blame Aunt. Aunt said that you didn't give her any money, so she acted this way." Lin Shuyan said understandingly, trying to exonerate Xu Shi.
"What!"
Madam Xu jumped up abruptly, furious and embarrassed, and stormed out.
At this moment, Madam Xu is washing yesterday's clothes in the courtyard.
Without saying a word, Madam Xu grabbed a fire poker from the kitchen and rushed towards Madam Xu.
Unaware of what was happening, Madam Xu was struck hard by the big Madam Xu and was still in a daze, unable to react.
"You slut, I gave you money to buy things at the market, and you dared to grope me! Haven't I beaten you in a while? You've gotten too bold!" Madam Xu cursed.
"Mother-in-law, I didn't! How could I dare to take advantage of you!" Xu didn't dare to admit it and just thought she could just endure it.
"Will you give it to me or not! Do you believe I'll strip you naked and search you?" Seeing that Xu Shi still refused to admit it, Madam Xu became even angrier and hit Xu Shi harder.
"Mother-in-law, don't take off my clothes! Someone will see us, and I'll never be able to face anyone again!"
Ignoring her pain, Xu clutched her clothes tightly, fearing that her mother might impulsively tear them off.
"Mother, what's wrong now?" Xu Dagui, who had just returned from the fields with a hoe, saw his mother beating his wife again as soon as he entered the yard.
"Isn't it all because of that wretched woman you married? What kind of life do we have now! We give her money to buy things, and she actually dares to touch the money that Young Master Ye was giving Yan Yan to buy medicine for!"
"She secretly skimmed the money I gave her, she's getting bolder and bolder!" Madam Xu spat at Madam Xu on the ground and said viciously.
Upon hearing this, Xu Dagui frowned deeply. Even the village chief took this young master Ye, who was recuperating in Xujia Village, very seriously.
If it weren't for Yan Yan's sake, the money for the ginseng wouldn't have been distributed to his village last time. Now, Xu Shi has actually used the money that Young Master Ye used to buy medicine.
He immediately snatched the fire poker from his mother's hand and started hitting Xu Shi with it: "You wretch, do you lack food or clothes? I'll beat you to death today! You dare to steal my money!"
"Da Gui, stop hitting him! If you kill him, who will do the housework?" Madam Xu's eyes darted around as she added:
“Drag her back inside and give this wretched woman a good ‘interrogation’ about where she hid the silver!”
“It’s just the right time for Yaozu to grow up and have a younger brother.” As she spoke, Madam Xu gave Xu Dagui a wink: “The two brothers can help each other out in the future.”
"Yes, Mother," Xu Dagui replied, giving Xu Shi a lewd smile before roughly dragging her back into the house.
"Mother, thank you for your hard work tonight," Xu Dagui said to Madam Xu.
Madam Xu waved to him, watched them go in and closed the door. Then the sound of tearing fabric came from inside the room, followed by Madam Xu's scream.
"Grandma, what's wrong with Auntie?"
Hearing Xu's screams from inside the house, Lin Shuyan came out with some concern and asked.
"It's alright, your uncle is taking good care of your aunt," Madam Xu replied without any hesitation.
As soon as she finished speaking, a sound that made her blush and her heart race came from inside the room. Lin Shuyan immediately understood what Madam Xu meant by "doting".
"Yan Yan, let's go inside first, don't worry about them." Madam Xu coaxed, "Grandma will give you the money that the slut spent today, but you must not let Young Master Ye know."
"Okay, I understand, Grandma." Lin Shuyan nodded obediently.
The sounds of procreation only stopped after Xu Dagui emerged from the house, looking refreshed and energetic, having finished his meal.
Tonight, for the first time ever, Madam Xu stewed chicken soup, and Xu Dagui was unusually gentle, bringing the chicken soup in for Madam Xu.
