The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 81 I Won't Coax People
Li Shengwang thought to himself: "Hmph, let me be stubborn again, isn't it my turn to do it for a while now?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Maimai closed the door with a bang, moved a stool from the room, crossed Erlang's legs, and began to settle accounts with a piece of paper.

"Look, from the moment you came into our house, the food, housing, and things you use are free of charge. Even the quilts you cover are all new ones that I spent money on. Also, I The two daughters-in-laws are waiting for you, what's wrong with it, it can't make my two daughters-in-law busy for nothing."

Li Shengwang frowned slightly: "What's the matter, even the salary of the daughter-in-law has to be paid, you woman, are you really not ordinary cruel?"

Li Shengwang thought that there was no more to say, but Yu Maimai squinted his eyes and said again: "As for me, a word is worth two yuan, a meal is ten yuan, and washing clothes is twenty yuan." Money, innocent to please my grandson, was found to be 50 Wen once, followed me secretly, 80 Wen money"

Qiao Mai yelled loudly, and immediately stood by Li Shengwang's side: "No way, the two of us cut firewood and went up the mountain. We also did a lot of work in your house, so how could it not be counted?"

"Then, you mean to repay the debt?"

Qiao Mai nodded: "That's right, otherwise, we are not idle, how can we not settle the score?"

Yu Maimai thought for a while, looked at Ning and said: "The second family, take out the bills and see, how many hours of work they have done respectively, let me tell you first, if it is less than an hour, Neither can be counted."

Qiao Shan groaned, and rubbed his hands vigorously: "Then, so the matter of going to Chenjiawan can't be forgotten?"

"That's right, didn't you go to Zhang's natal family voluntarily? This can't pay off the debt anyway."

Hearing what Yu Maimai said, Li Shengwang's legs became weak immediately, and he fell to the ground. Zhou Baopi, who was so careful and careful, wanted to leave, how could he?Clearing the account and leaving is the only way, but Li Shengwang is penniless now, where can he get such a large sum of money?

Mrs. Zhang knelt in the mourning hall, sobbing uncontrollably: "Why? Mom, I'm still late. Why can't you figure it out?"

Zhang Wanshuang came over, handed Mrs. Zhang a handkerchief, patted Mrs. Zhang on the shoulder lightly and said, "Sister, this kind of thing has already happened, so what if anyone cries to death? You should take your mother to our home."

Zhang Wanshuang's words are just out of face, she is also a henpeck, if she can be the master of her daughter-in-law, why should things go like this?

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Zhang Wanshuang, and shook her head: "Forget it, why don't I know about your situation, or I've been busy with family affairs and didn't care about my mother."

Lizheng came and handed some pieces of silver to Zhang Wanshuang.

"This is a little money from your brother. They are involved in your mother's death, and they won't be able to come back for a while. Your mother's funeral depends on you."

Zhang Wanshuang handed the money to Mrs. Zhang, and then said: "Sister, you are at home during this time, you take the money, and I will tell you if there is anything needed at home."

At first, Mrs. Zhang didn't think too much about it. She thought that since she was at home anyway, it would be the same for whoever holds the money, and just bury her mother when the time comes.

At noon, Yin Yang came, holding a yellow paper talisman in his hand, and placed it on the table.

"Next, we need to prepare some things for the grave. Go and buy some items. These items are all written on paper. Zhang Wanshuang took the note from Yin Yang and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Why are there so many? Do these things need to be bought? Isn't this paper already available? Why are there so many?"

Yin Yang said without raising his eyes: "I told you to buy it, so you go and buy it. Your mother didn't see how you spent the money when she was alive. Now that your mother is dead, I asked you to spend two silvers. You can deduct it." What does it look like? Let me tell you, if you don’t want to buy it now, I can also bury your mother, but how your mother will live in that life will directly affect your son. Think about it yourself. "

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to embarrass herself here in front of the whole village, so she hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Yin Yang: "I'm sorry, Yin Yang, I'll go to the market with my brother to buy."

Just as Mrs. Zhang pulled Zhang Wanshuang to the door, Mrs. Jiao, Zhang Wanshuang's woman, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Wanshuang.

"You worthless, you actually gave your sister money from the family, what's the matter, now Yin Yang wants something, so what if your sister buys it?"

Mrs. Zhang grinned her teeth angrily, she never thought that Mrs. Jiao would say such a thing, and she regretted that she should not have taken the money in the first place.

Zhang Wanqiu found that so many people were looking at her, and angrily pulled her woman aside: "What are you talking about, this is the money that the boss, Tori, is bringing back for the burial of his mother. Where can I give the money to my sister?" Woolen cloth?"

Mrs. Zhang took the list given by Yin Yang, bought all the things and handed them over to Yin Yang.

Zhang Wanshuang was very depressed, why did this good thing become so embarrassing all of a sudden, but that yin and yang said a lot: "I see your mother, you have really been wronged in this life, why did you just happen to be wronged?" What about you two useless sons?"

Lizheng saw Jiao's aggressive face, which made Zhang very ugly, so he simply walked over, saw Jiao and said, "You woman, why do you see everything in your eyes? Your mother used to be alive. At any rate, I was serving you during the confinement period, but now you say such things for such a little money, isn't it hurting the harmony between the sisters? Besides, your sister doesn't come here often, so don't do things. unacceptable."

When Lizheng said that, Mrs. Zhang shook her head and walked over: "Lizheng, thank you, my mother is gone this time, thanks to you."

In this way, the funeral was done in a hurry, but Mrs. Zhang owed a debt. She didn't know how to come back and tell her mother-in-law about it.

When Zhang Wanshuang learned of Zhang's embarrassment, she took the 50 taels of silver from her family and handed it to Zhang.

"Sister, you take this little money. How can you say that you are also a daughter, so it's not up to you to spend the money. You take this little money. Mother's funeral, how much money is spent, has nothing to do with you Relationship, I will discuss it with him when the elder brother comes back."

But Ms. Zhang shook her head: "No need, the elder brother has already given that little money, and I still think about what money I can get from the elder brother. The money on my body is also saved by me, and I don't have a good maid on weekdays. Pointing out money is considered a filial piety to your mother, you can take it."

Although Mrs. Zhang didn't know how to explain this matter to her mother-in-law when she returned home, but in the face of the situation of the two brothers of the Zhang family, she was determined to give up the money so that the people in the village could not laugh at her.
