"Bang!"
As soon as Li Afu left, Patriarch Shen was so angry that he grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground. His old face was twisted with anger: "Promotion! What a promotion! Shen Li, that son of a bitch, actually dared to show off his official status in front of me."
He spoke nicely last time, but now that he's got the official position, he doesn't look down on me as the clan leader anymore! !
Chen Shi also happened to arrive and heard what had just been said. She walked into the room and said, "Master, from what Chen Li meant, he wants us to be humble and subservient to him in the future and flatter him obediently!"
Patriarch Shen's face was gloomy: "You should hurry up and get an official position."
"Don't worry, the old house in the western suburbs has already been sold, and this time it will definitely work..."
Li Afu returned to Linzhuyuan.
"Master, I have conveyed your intention to the clan leader, but..."
Li Afu hesitated for a moment. "But I saw that the clan leader didn't seem very satisfied after hearing what I said, and he sent me back without saying a word."
Shen Li frowned slightly, “But did you tell me my exact words?”
"Yes, I said it word for word."
Thinking of the threat the clan leader had made to him before, Shen Li smiled coldly: “Then don’t pay attention to it.”
"That old man is so greedy!"
Then Shen Li took out a letter and said, "Ah Fu, go to Wanglai Pawnshop again and give this letter to the shopkeeper."
He needs to confirm the official position first.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Three days later.
Li Afu secretly brought back a letter.
After seeing this, Shen Li couldn't help but show a look of joy: "The official position thing is really done." It seems that Yang Zhao is still useful.
"Master, should we tell the old lady about this news?"
"I heard from my mother these days that the old lady has been feeling unwell and has no energy. If she knew this good news, her mood would definitely improve." Li Afu suggested.
Shen Li thought about it and said, "Then you go and tell grandma, but don't publicize this matter."
"I understand."
When Li Afu arrived at Muzhaiyuan, Shen Sulan was serving soup to the old lady.
"Afu, what is it that the master asked you to come over for?" The old lady looked at Li Afu's hesitant expression and asked.
Li Afu glanced at Shen Sulan: "Old Madam, I just...just asked me to come and ask you if you are well."
This is a really poor excuse.
Shen Sulan's face darkened immediately; "Li'er, is there something you can't say in front of me?"
Li Afu lowered his head.
"Dog slave!"
"Mom, look at him. I am Li'er's biological aunt, but I am being guarded against like a thief. What does it mean?" Shen Sulan looked at Old Madam Shen.
The old lady sighed, looked at Li Afu and said, "Afu, just tell me, I am not a stranger." Let a servant come over and tell me, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Li Afu then spoke up, "Master wanted me to come and tell the old lady that the official position she had arranged for him has been confirmed. It's a sixth-rank position, Deputy Director of the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department."
"What!"
Shen Sulan's sharp voice rang out from under the veil.
"A sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel?"
Shen Sulan turned her head to look at the old lady. Her crooked mouth was already slurring her words, and now she was so excited that her words became slurred: "Mother, Yang Zhao got the job so quickly? Why didn't you tell me about this? Since Yang Zhao is so capable, you should ask her to help my husband..."
"alright."
Old Madam Shen frowned and interrupted Shen Sulan: "Let's talk about the son-in-law later. Go and tidy up your veil first. Look at your saliva. It has wet the veil." The crooked mouth was revealed.
Shen Sulan quickly covered her mouth.
But she still didn't give up: "Mother, I've already secured Li'er's official position. You must also pay attention to your son-in-law's wish to join the Ministry of Personnel, otherwise I won't agree."
Old Madam Shen felt a little regretful that she had let Ah Fu speak.
Is it so easy to get a job?
That costs money!!
But in the end, Shen Sulan made such a fuss that the old lady had no choice but to compromise and said with a headache: "Now this family really has no money. If you really want to find a job for your husband, then you can ask your Chen family to raise the money. I will ask A Zhao to help your Chen family when the time comes."
"Mom, you know the situation of my husband's family. How can we have any money?" Shen Sulan obviously didn't want to pay.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
"mother!"
"Lan'er, if you continue to make trouble, just go back to your Chen family. My body can't stand your noise now." Old Lady Shen said with a gloomy face.
Shen Sulan's face was dark, knowing that it was unlikely to ask the old lady to pay the money. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Then I will go back and get some money. Mother will have to ask Ah Zhao to help my husband more."
"Um!"
Shen Sulan hurried back to Chen's house.
When the old lady of the Chen family heard about her nephew's success in seeking an official position, she was tempted. However, when she saw the several thousand taels of silver that the old man took out, Shen Sulan's face turned black.
"That's all?"
"You know how wealthy our Chen family is. These several thousand taels are the money for my coffin that an old woman like me has saved over the years," said the old lady of the Chen family.
Coffin book?
Although the Chen family is not rich, they are not so shabby!
This old guy is obviously deliberately not paying, wanting her to pay for it! !
But Shen Sulan couldn't do anything to her, because she was the old lady in the family and the mother respected by her husband.
