"Old man, why are you so angry?" Old Mrs. Sun felt that the third son was right. Why could he agree to let his daughter be a concubine, but not the eldest son's daughter?
"You don't understand. I did it for my boss' ex-wife, not because my family couldn't afford so much money. Would I agree? He needs money to study, and I want to risk my reputation for my boss' ex-wife.
You know what Xiaoyu is like. It's a shame for her to be a concubine. The third brother and his wife have no son, so it doesn't matter.
Ru Xin is really different. She is the daughter of a scholar. How can she face people after becoming the eldest concubine? His future was over. How could a big shot in the county associate with a man who sold his daughter as a concubine? Not to mention himself, it had a huge impact on his two sons who were studying. Doesn’t he think about what scholars care about most?
Do you know what he is doing? Picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon. He trained Ruxin for so many years, just for this? Just over two hundred taels, look how happy he is. ”
Old man Zhao pounded his chest and said, "Old lady, I feel bad here. If this gets out, no one in the village will associate with the boss anymore.
There is no one left in the county town, the villagers despise him, his brothers turn against each other, the eldest brother has been deserted by everyone, but he is still unaware of it. ”
After listening to her husband's analysis, Mrs. Sun understood the whole thing. Xiaoyu becoming a concubine would affect the third brother's reputation, and at most it would affect their own reputation a little, but it would be over after a while. The third child used to be of little consequence, and no one in the village cared about him. Boss 䀴 is different, he has implicated himself now.
"what to do?"
"What can I do? I can't stop him from committing suicide even if I want to. What can I do?" said Old Man Zhao in pain.
The eldest son is stupid and doesn't even know it.
"Forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We have done what we can do. The rest is up to them."
Old man Xiao is not as tolerant as old lady Sun. He cannot bear to think about it. The thought of his decades of hard work being wasted makes him feel uncomfortable and painful.
"I've wasted a good festival. I might as well not come back."
"What festival are you thinking about? You may not be able to see your eldest son if you want to see him recently. He dare not come back before the winter solstice."
"Just don't see each other, it's so sad! Old man, Ru Xin..."
"Forget about it. If their parents don't care, what can we do?"
Old Mrs. Sun was silent. She just listened to whatever the old man said. Anyway, there was one thing she would never offend the third brother.
If the old man passed away one day, she would go to the third brother and discuss with him whether he could build a small courtyard for her and arrange someone to serve her. She could give him all the land.
As for the others, forget it. She doesn't trust any of them.
She didn't tell anyone about this plan, including the old man.
In the evening, Zhao Dashu and his family gathered together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. After dinner, the family sat in the yard to admire the moon.
The moon was above the treetops. A family went on a long journey in a mule cart. On the way, they met several other families who had sneaked out. They smiled at each other knowingly.
"Let's go!"
"Walk!"
When we arrived at the county town, there was no curfew yet. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the curfew will not be in effect until midnight. The streets are bustling with people, just as lively as during the day.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to go shopping?"
"No, let's go home and have some rest." My mother and my younger sister kept yawning. What were they shopping for?
Have a good sleep and continue your hard work tomorrow.
"Shunzi, the tree is really smart. No one is chasing us tonight."
"Yeah, we ran away again when everyone came to their senses. We got away again this year. Heizi, you've made so much money, what are you going to do with it?"
"Hey, I haven't thought about it yet. What are your plans?"
"I plan to buy an apartment in the county town."
Heizi didn't expect Liu Shunzi to have such an idea. "You don't plan to buy land but a house? Why should we buy a house if we don't live in the county town?"
"When we are almost ready to catch river gourds next year, the whole family will move to the county town. We won't be back for the Mid-Autumn Festival by then, and we can rent out the fields to save trouble."
"I wonder how you are so smart? Yes, rent out all the land. Let's buy it together and become neighbors. After delivering the goods, we can go home and sleep."
"That's what I mean. After we pick up the river gourds, we'll look around to see if there's a suitable piece of land. I guess if we tell the village chief and his men, they'll buy it."
"Shit, let's buy one together." Heizi couldn't help but giggle. He never thought that one day he would be able to buy a house in the city.
The days are becoming more and more promising.
On the next day, Zhao Xiaoyu took out the crabs that had been steamed in advance, and the whole family peeled them together. In the morning, the villagers discovered that several families had disappeared again, running away right under their noses. They slapped their thighs in frustration.
Look at other people, they can even skip festivals in order to make money. But they are poor guys who still drink and their parents don’t know about it. When they wake up, they don’t know how much money others have earned.
The gap is really a gap.
He deserves to make a lot of money.
