The girl who wears fast

Chapter 48 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (48)

Mrs. Li came to play with Xu Shichu, and she happily brought many beautiful and interesting gadgets for Xu Shichu to play with, then she took Xu Shichu's hand and winked and asked:

"Do you still remember what I told you about my eldest nephew?"

Xu Shichu thought about it for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Is that nephew who wants to be an ordinary couple with the Jiang Hu woman?"

"Yes! That's him!" Mrs. Li replied, "Do you want to know how he is doing now?"

"How is he?" Xu Shichu asked curiously, Mrs. Li's gossiping appearance clearly indicated that something unexpected happened to her eldest nephew.

When Mrs. Li saw Xu Shichu's flattery, she immediately said with a smile: "My sister-in-law was heartbroken and sent my nephew to a remote mountain village according to the method you said. She didn't give money or give anyone, and let him farm to support himself. Take care of yourself." Get a taste of what it's like to be an ordinary person."

Xu Shichu suddenly raised his eyebrows and became interested: "And then? Your nephew was spoiled and raised, can he endure such a hard life?"

"Of course it's impossible! When he was arguing with my sister-in-law, he kept saying that the Hou Mansion restricted and imprisoned him all his life, making him like a puppet without freedom. He was very painful, and said that if he could, he would like to get out of the oppression." His family lived in seclusion in the countryside with his beloved woman, and lived a life of idleness and wild cranes, even with simple food and drink..." Mrs. Li said with a sneer.

"As a result, when he said it, he swore that he could support himself and his wife without the splendor and wealth of the Marquis Mansion. Unfortunately, when it came to reality, his true colors were immediately revealed."

When Mrs. Li mentioned her eldest nephew, she was very contemptuous, and said: "When my sister-in-law drove him out of the house, she gave him 20 taels of silver as the principal. A small business is enough for him in the early stage, but he is lucky, he found that Jianghu woman as soon as he went out, and used the 20 taels of silver to buy wedding dresses, red candles and other things, and the two married privately!"

Xu Shichu's eyes widened, and he said in shock, "Is this going to be raw rice and cooked rice?"

Mrs. Li sneered: "My sister-in-law doesn't care at all. There is neither a matchmaker's words nor a visit from my parents. What kind of marriage is this? My sister-in-law is just a nephew and takes a house."

"Then what? Your eldest nephew and that Jianghu woman really started to live in seclusion in the mountains, farming and growing vegetables to live the ordinary life of ordinary people?" Xu Shichu asked.

"Huh, in the first day or two, they were newlyweds, they stuck together sweetly and didn't go out at all, but on the third day, when there was nothing to eat, they had to come out to look for food. Unfortunately, they spent the 20 taels of silver. Seven or eight, they have to find a way to support their families." Mrs. Li sneered,
"They thought farming was very romantic, and the two of them went down to the ground and recited poems arm in arm. Unfortunately, as soon as they moved, they began to be out of breath, their backs hurt, and they became exhausted after a few jobs. Both of them died."

"You should let him know what reality is. The young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the world must not know that living in seclusion in the mountains is not as good as he imagined. If he has no money, he can't live comfortably." Xu Shichu looked as expected. Expression, smiled.

"Haha, that's the reason! But my eldest nephew doesn't know...

You don't know, my eldest nephew boasted a lot in front of my sister-in-law, even though he was tired and painful after going to the ground, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

But that Jianghu woman is much more shrewd. Seeing how difficult it is, she immediately pretended to be weak and unable to work, and then flattered my elder nephew, saying that her husband is a big man who stands up to heaven and earth. Naturally, she is farming and supporting her family outside. Weaving, making clothes, and doing housework at home... Haha, it's just an excuse to be lazy at home, and let my big fool suffer and suffer! "

Mrs. Li gloated so much that she laughed so hard.

Xu Shichu also laughed, she liked the appearance of the innocent and arrogant boy after being beaten by reality: "How long did they last?"

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and said, "You guess?"

"Half a month?" Xu Shichu said.

"Not only." Mrs. Li said.

"Huh?" Xu Shichu was surprised, "Could it be that your eldest nephew is still a strong-willed and resilient person?"

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes: "How is that possible? He wanted to admit his weakness within half a month, admit his mistake to my sister-in-law, and go home to be his young master! It's a pity that my sister-in-law didn't seize this opportunity to ruthlessly beat him to death." Educate him once, let him have an unforgettable lesson?"

"You definitely wouldn't have thought of my sister-in-law's operation! Haha, when my sister-in-law saw that he was giving up, she immediately sent someone to the door of his thatched cottage to recite all the cruel words he let off to my sister-in-law. He was so ashamed to give up, so he had to continue to be a farmer! Hahaha..."

Mrs. Li laughed boldly, with tears in her eyes.

Xu Shichu was also amused, and said: "I didn't expect your sister-in-law to be such a wonderful person, she will be cruel enough to teach her son a lesson."

"That's not right! My eldest nephew didn't dare to say anything and went home. After all, if he forgot what he said when he was so arrogant, the people sent by my sister-in-law can always remind him."

Mrs. Li rubbed her sour face from laughing, and said with emotion:

"So we still can't raise our children too naively, too ignorant of the sufferings of the world, let them know that they can enjoy the glory and wealth not because they are born noble or talented, but because they are born well and have the legacy of their ancestors. .

As a person who has enjoyed these honors, you can't complain about being controlled by the family and not having freedom..."

Xu Shichu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, there is no free lunch in the world. You have to pay for what you get. People can't just enjoy rights without taking obligations."

Mrs. Li nodded her head: "That's right, my eldest nephew is just too naive, saying that he doesn't care about his noble status at all, he doesn't want to be a utilitarian who is in danger for fame and fortune, and he is more interested in prosperity and wealth." Sneering his nose, he even thought about the indifferent pastoral life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset every day, and being a pair of gods and gods far away from fame and fortune with his beloved wife.

In the end, after he really lived the pastoral life he had dreamed of, he woke up after being swept away by the painful reality, and regretted it endlessly. "

Xu Shichu could imagine that kind of scene, the young master with fine skin and tender flesh was so tired that his palms grew blisters after he went to the ground, his waist and back were sore, he was hungry but only had a rough meal, his delicate skin was worn to the point of bleeding by the rough linen clothes, and he slept on a bed made of straw at night. The bed was stuffy and hot, and there were annoying mosquitoes buzzing...

Tsk tsk, it's too miserable.

"By the way, my sister-in-law said that she has to come to thank you in person, thank you for giving her such a good idea." Mrs. Li said.
