The girl who wears fast

Chapter 766 The Unlucky Sister Who Was Swapped (11)

Liu Shichu put the woodcarvings in Gewu for consignment, the shopkeeper liked her style very much, and asked her to carve a few more according to this style, Liu Shichu naturally did so, and took some of the ones she had made before. , Xide shopkeeper even said that she would introduce her works to Kigel's distinguished guests who like woodcarving.

After the work was consigned to a good place, Liu Shichu was not so anxious, and the speed of woodcarving slowed down. She originally planned to take the route of treasures, and rare things are more expensive, and her woodcarvings are going to become rare and fine products.

After more than eight months, the shopkeeper told her pleasantly that her "Three Visits Thatched Cottage" woodcarving was sold for more than 100 taels of silver. After all, she is not well-known, so she only sold at this price. The shopkeeper said that after she became famous, the price of her future works would be multiplied several times, so she should not worry and continue to study the woodcarving industry patiently. The better the work, the greater the reputation.

Liu Shichu naturally understood this truth, so he agreed with the shopkeeper's words, and she sold a wood carving for more than 100 taels of silver, which was enough for her to use for a long time alone. The wood carving art business is similar to antiques, all Not open for three years, open for three years.

With the ability to settle down on the bright side, Liu Shichu lived a very leisurely life. She only needs to spend two hours a day on carving, and the rest of the time is free. Therefore, when outsiders see her, they will inevitably feel that she is a little idle. When a man came to her, the neighbors would think she was doing something shameful.

But those good people watched her secretly for a long time, and they didn't see any man coming to her door, and every time she went out, she just went to buy some daily necessities, so even if outsiders wanted to make arrangements for her, she had no excuse, but she was so leisurely. , It attracted the red eyes of others.

"Miss Liu, are you the only one left in your family? I don't know what your family used to do? They left you a lot of property, right? Let me tell you, the girl's family still has to be thrifty. If you don’t do anything all day long, you’ll just sit and eat, and you’ll be miserable after spending all your family inheritance...” Aunt Zhou, a neighbor, saw Liu Shichu playing with a strange piece of wood in the yard, and she couldn’t help talking said.

Liu Shichu raised his head and glanced at her, remembering that Mrs. Zhou was very speechless. When she first moved here, she said that she was a little girl who lived alone at a young age. No excuses, so I won't say this anymore.

It's just that she herself is busy all day long, but Liu Shichu is leisurely and romantic. When she comes out, there are several hours a day when no one is seen. The rest of the time is spent in the yard tending flowers and plants, or drinking tea and reading books. Aunt Zhou is jealous and envious.

"Ma'am, I don't need you to worry about this. Although my family didn't leave me any property, I can make some wood carvings and sell them for money. It's no problem to support myself." Liu Shichu glanced at Aunt Zhou, who couldn't hide the sourness in her eyes, said with a good temper, "I just don't know if you have earned enough money for the bride price for your youngest son? I heard your family quarrel about it yesterday. Oh, aunt People in your family are so capable, surely they can't even marry their youngest son a wife, right?"

Although Liu Shichu's tone was gentle and polite, the meaning in his words almost made Aunt Zhou poke out in anger. Didn't Liu Shichu mean to mock her for having no money to marry her youngest son?

"You...you should still worry about your own affairs! It's none of your business whether my son marries a wife or not? I think you're doing some shady business if you do woodcarving!" Aunt Zhou was so angry that Liu Shichu poked her sore foot. Jumped up and cursed.

"Auntie, if you slander me and damage my reputation, then I will take you to the government for evaluation. I am an orphan girl, and I am not afraid of wearing shoes when I have bare feet, but I don't know if you are afraid of being full of children and grandchildren... ..." Liu Shichu said, a pair of dark eyes stared at Aunt Zhou deeply, without blinking. When Aunt Zhou saw those eyes, she suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing from her back, making her feel as if she was being stared at by an evil spirit. Feeling the fear in his body, he shivered suddenly, and didn't dare to say anything to Liu Shichu.

Liu Shichu was not someone to mess with. When she first moved here, there were some hooligans who thought she was a helpless orphan and wanted to take advantage of her. As a result, these hooligans were beaten up. Yes, stealing chickens won't cost you money, and you don't dare to provoke her as a thorn again.

Mrs. Zhou made a lot of rumors about Liu Shichu with her bad mouth. Liu Shichu specially found a time to put sacks on her two sons and beat them up. He also warned them to go home and let his old mother clean her mouth.

Where did her two sons not know that they committed this crime because of their mother?So after being beaten back home with a bruised nose and swollen face, she complained again and again that Aunt Zhou offended others but made them suffer and beat them as sons. I have no confidence in arguing with my daughter-in-law.

"That little bastard! I'm just waiting to see how miserable she will be on the streets after spending all her family property! Bah..." Aunt Zhou returned home cursing in a low voice, only to see her youngest son sitting in the main room with a straight face while the old man was smoking dry tobacco, sighing from time to time.

"Old man, what's the matter?" Aunt Zhou asked her husband.

"The dowry money that Yao'er wants to marry a daughter-in-law is still short of five taels of silver. Where can I find it for him? It's not worth the money if I sell my old bones." Old man Zhou said with a sigh.

Aunt Zhou looked at her youngest son, thinking that no wonder he was downcast, but she felt sorry for her son and the old man, so she wanted to discuss with her youngest son: "Yaoer, why don't we get rid of that Miss Wang?" ? Her family wants so many betrothal gifts, we have no money. You are obedient, and we will ask the matchmaker to find you a submissive and obedient one who doesn’t need so many betrothal gifts..."

"Mom! I just like Miss Wang, and I won't marry anyone but her! If you can't help me marry her back, then I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life!" Zhou Xiaoer yelled at his parents with his eyes wide open. road.

"Son! Are you going to break the bones of your parents? Where are we going to find you so much gift money? Isn't there nothing you can do about your parents? Your elder brother can't make much money by going to the pier to fight the bag, you My sister-in-law is going to have a baby again, and I can't earn five cents a day for washing clothes for others, you are killing my parents..." Aunt Zhou said sadly, the family is so difficult, doesn't she want to marry a wife for her son? ?This is not money!
