Chapter 20: Homemade Cabbage
The husband walked away, and Wang was angry and kept scolding him for a long time.
I didn't have time to get angry with him anymore, the things were still scattered on the ground. So I took the girl and started to sort them out.
To be honest, the things my husband bought are of pretty good quality.
Although she could not read many words, she was good at accounting. She also had her own special way of remembering. After carefully counting for a while, she felt that the money was not right. It seemed that there was too much...
Could it be the benefits he gained along the way?
"Madam!" Wang Qing came outside.
"Come in!" It was time for Wang's routine.
Wang Qing was scolded by Mo Ruhai and knew what he should say. He honestly explained the situation along the way, focusing on what the master did when outsiders presented beautiful women to him.
In fact, these things are normal in the officialdom. Not to mention the chief officer who accompanied the master, even those who followed him were specially entertained. Going to "that kind of" place after drinking is a common thing.
When you are in a game, you can't be a person who only listens to high-brow music. The master is not a lecher. He only lets those women pour tea and wine and sing a little song beside him. He won't let them get close to him. This is quite good, at least better than himself...
Even so, Wang Shi also got angry and looked unhappy. Wang Qing saw it and felt helpless. Unconsciously, he reduced the words he wanted to say to his wife.
But I can't just say nothing. My wife is very smart! If she doesn't trust me anymore, it will be troublesome.
So, he mentioned that when local officials invited the adults to go for a trip to a famous lake, the master did not go with them, but instead wandered around the market for a long time.
"What are you doing in the market?" Wang was a little surprised.
"The master was browsing the book market and saw a few interesting books. Because they were too expensive to buy, he gave some silver and copied them there."
Wang curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "Tsk, just a few books, what's so good about copying them? How much tribute did you receive?"
Wang Qing roughly guessed that he would hand over the list.
She took it in her hand and looked at it. She had to check the account with her husband later. Wang turned around and asked, "Is there nothing else?"
"No more." Wang Qing lowered his head and whispered:
Seeing that the things in the room had not been cleaned up yet, Wang asked Qiuhong to give him a tip, then waved her hand and let him go.
Wang Qing came out and sighed: She wanted to accept the money from the filial piety. But the beauty of the filial piety was not allowed to touch the master. The key point is: the wife looks strong, but inside, she can't beat the master.
He can't afford to offend either side, so it's really difficult for the servants!
Wang didn't hear anything too bad, so she focused on dealing with the things her husband brought back. She thought: I have to send a copy to Mrs. Liang.
The Xu family's marriage isn't finalized yet, so there's no need to rush.
"Is my second sister-in-law in the room?" Wang frowned. Liu?
As soon as he finished speaking, the person walked in.
"I just saw my second brother go out, so I came to take a look." Liu looked at the things in the house, "Oh, I heard that my second brother came back and brought several carts of things. My eldest sister-in-law is counting them, and you are counting them too, so I am the only one who has nothing to do. I shamelessly came to ask, is there anything I can help you with?!"
She is jealous again.
"How can you be of any use to me for such a small matter? The things in my sister-in-law's place were given to me by my elder brother before he left. He made a list and gave him some money, saying that they were gifts for the New Year."
Although Mo Rushan's position was not very lucrative, he still had to send gifts to his superiors during the New Year holidays, so he had to find a way to get some good-quality and cheap things.
"Oh! Is that so! Fortunately you asked. I thought there was no third room like ours!" Liu said sourly.
Wang didn't bother to pay attention to her. She basically understood everything.
"I'm going to be busy here for a while, so please go and do your work first. I'll go to your room and talk to you later after I've made arrangements."
Liu had almost finished looking at the things.
"Is that so... Fine then, I'll go back first. Second sister-in-law, with so many things, don't forget our poor Mo Yuan!"
…
In the other room, Mo Ruhai was still asking Mo Yi, "Your mother said that Third Aunt had a quarrel with you because of the daffodils?"
Mo Yi then told the whole story.
Mo Ruhai frowned and said nothing.
"Dad, we have to be more stable in our affairs. Otherwise, we will be like this daffodil. You bought the flower head, and your daughter carved it carefully. She changed the water and exposed it to the sun every day. She moved it here and there...but when the buds formed, she couldn't keep them and they all became someone else's."
Mo Ruhai nodded: "Dad will tell your uncle about Liu's matter! Don't always treat me as a coward and bully me if you want. Here... I left two pots for you?" He saw the ones on the windowsill.
"This is my second brother. He got two pots of rice back for my daughter!" She did not mention that she was so angry that she cried.
"Well, Mo Fan is a good kid at heart."
"Yes, Dad! My second brother has helped my daughter a lot. He often brings food back for my daughter!"
"Daddy will give him some money later, and you can let him buy whatever you want to eat or use!"
Mo Yi smiled secretly in her heart. Her father was now confident in what he said. "Dad, our family is supported to a large extent by my uncle. I am willing to work for him. You don't have to worry too much about it."
"Yes, Dad knows. Although your uncle is not a very particular person, his sympathy for his brothers is not false. Otherwise, our family would have to live in that small courtyard, and our life would be worse than it is now. It is possible that your eldest sister would not get that marriage."
"Dad, it's really nothing just from the perspective of the daffodils. But what we are going to do, if it goes smoothly, it will be no small matter. It's also right to give some of the money we earn to uncle and mother. But it's best not to let them know, let alone let them control it. You also know mother... If she knew, she would definitely get angry, and then she would take it over. Then..."
Neither the father nor the son can defeat their strong mother.
Mo Ruhai smiled bitterly: "Hearing what you said, getting engaged to Liang You is a good thing."
Coincidentally, this idea just happened to appear in Mo Yi's mind: after getting married, she can go out and walk around.
I can have private property without being interfered with by my mother, and even the Liang family can’t interfere!
Liang You should be a good person to talk to. Mrs. Liang is also a good person...
At that time, you can be the master of your own house, go out to work and earn money openly, without worrying about others finding out and robbing you... This feeling is wonderful!
Thinking of this, she nodded and smiled!
But when Mo Ruhai saw his daughter's approval and happiness, he felt depressed.
A girl is no longer under the control of her father when she grows up!
I have only enjoyed her blessing for two years, and now I am going to become someone else's?
This is the only person in the world who is close to me!
Damn Liang You, he didn't even pass the imperial examination, what kind of marriage is he getting! ?
The good cabbages in my own garden are being eaten by pigs just after they have grown?
Humph! Wang actually looked down on her daughter so much. It was a blessing from his previous life that Liang You could marry Yi Yi!
