Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 55
Xie Xiuwen and Liu Shen went into the room alone to talk, first they talked about their studies, and then they abducted Liu Ruolan's mother and daughter.

"At that time, thanks to Guaibao's cleverness, she also knew to ask your cousin to call us over. I heard that it was her idea to make your nephew pretend to be a woman."

Xie Xiuwen was very happy, nothing made him happier than hearing a compliment about his daughter.

"Baby is indeed smart, but my son-in-law is also a little bit worried."

Liu Shen glanced at him: "But worried that Huiji will be hurt?"

Xie Xiuwen's face was stained with worry again: "It's a good thing to be smart. But she's just a child now, and I'm not at home to take care of her, but she still has to think about how to protect her mother. Every time I think of it, I always think about it." I feel ashamed of their mother and daughter."

No matter who Liu Shen is, he probably understood what he meant.

"You can study at ease. I will let your mother-in-law and several sister-in-laws talk to her more. Ruolan's temperament is indeed too soft. She is your wife. When it is time to preach, you don't have to hide too much. .”

"Yes, my son-in-law already has some ideas in his mind, but it just takes time."

Liu Shen nodded. This son-in-law has his own ideas, so he can feel at ease.

"Is there a chance for success in the township examination next year?"

Xie Xiuwen's eyes flashed, knowing that what his father-in-law was asking must not only be about his knowledge.

"The beans around me are trustworthy. There is still a year left for the home test. I went to the patriarch a few days ago. I heard what the old man said. He hopes that I can help the younger generation of the clan more."

Liu Shen understood that he wanted him to bring a few clansmen by his side, so that he could not only help him with errands and chores, but also get some advice from him in his spare time.

"That's good. After all, the Douzi next to you is young, and he is the only one. He usually doesn't show much, but when it comes to critical moments, he is a little weak by himself."

"You said so."

"Let's see at that time. If the Xie family can't find a suitable one, the younger generations of my Liu family can also do it. The second child said before that he will protect you to go to the scientific examination next year."

Xie Xiuwen smiled slightly, he knew how the uncles treated him.

After chatting for a few more words, the topic turned to restaurants.

"Father-in-law, I think it's a good thing that the restaurant's business is booming. It's just that a few brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews don't work there for nothing every day. What my son-in-law means is that everyone can get some monthly money, one hundred cash Not too little, one tael of silver is not too much. What do you think?"

In fact, Liu Shen is also thinking about this these days.

Right now, the harmony among the brothers does not mean that the harmony will last for a long time.

Especially when the elder one works in the yamen, he receives a monthly salary, while the second and third children help out in their own shop, and they usually don't have a monthly salary. This is really treating them badly.

"Well, then everyone who works in the restaurant will be given ten copper coins per day, what do you think?"

This month's money is just a formality, and the real big money has to be dividends.

There are people working in the restaurant in the three houses, and it is not good if the monthly fee is too high. After all, the grandchildren all take turns to do odd jobs in the restaurant.

"Yes, it's good for the father-in-law to be the master."

Weng and son-in-law agreed on this matter, and Xie Xiuwen took out a few more bank notes.

"Father-in-law Rong, this 100 tael silver note was given by Liu Xueyi as an apology on behalf of the Song family. If I don't accept it, I'm afraid Liu Xueyi and the Song family will feel uneasy, and they promised to marry Song Tingting far away. It’s a conclusion.”

Liu Shen nodded, "It's up to you to decide."

"There are a total of 200 taels of silver notes here, and my son-in-law would like to ask his father-in-law for help."

Liu Shen raised his hand to stop him, and then called the old wife and several sons in.

"Okay, tell me now."

Xie Xiuwen laughed, knowing that he didn't want to make the brothers worry, so he had no choice but to express his thoughts.

"I have already inquired about a shop, which is bigger than our current restaurant. I want to buy it, but it is not easy to put it in my name, so I want to ask my father-in-law for help, just say It's because your life is getting better, and you can replenish Ruolan's dowry, so this shop will be in her name, and my parents won't make things difficult for her in the future."

The Dazhi Dynasty clearly stipulated that a woman's dowry can be taken care of by herself, and whether it is reconciliation or divorce, it must be taken away by the woman.

In other words, this dowry is equivalent to a woman's private property, and even the elders of her in-law's family cannot deprive her of it at will.

And Grandpa Xie's is a man of reputation, so naturally he would not allow rumors that the elders in the family forcibly robbed the dowry of his daughter-in-law.

Boss Liu thinks it's feasible, so that this store is under the name of her sister, and it will be convenient for her to save some money in her hand.

"But the 200 taels, I'm afraid it's not enough?"

Liu Laoer raised doubts. After all, the restaurant they rented would cost 200 taels for a slightly smaller restaurant. Since he said that the location is better and the house is bigger, it would cost more than 200 taels. OK.

Xie Xiuwen smiled and said, "That's enough. The store was in a hurry to change hands. I heard that there was a disaster at home. I wanted to sell the store and return to my hometown to make a living. Because the sale was urgent, the price was naturally suppressed."

Boss Liu laughed and said, "Have you found out all about it?"

"That's right. I'll have to trouble my brother-in-law then."

Boss Liu waved his hand, but it was just a little effort, not troublesome.

"Brother-in-law, if you buy this shop, what are your plans for the future? It can't be left empty all the time, right? Are you planning to rent it out, or do you want to make a living by yourself?"

Before Liu Laosan finished speaking, he was elbowed by Liu Laoer: "Are you stupid? My brother-in-law still has to study! How does he make a living? However, you can consider letting others do it."

Xie Xiuwen nodded, he did have this idea.

"I won't rent it out. My studies cost money, so I can't just sit and eat. I'm thinking about opening a restaurant, but it's different from yours. At that time, I have to ask my brothers to help me take care of it."

Liu Shen understood a little at this time: "You mean, just take this shop and the business as our dowry for Ruolan?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

The eyes of the brothers and sisters widened, didn't they expect the brother-in-law to play with such a big one?
This is completely guarding against his family.

"You can consider this step for their mother and daughter, which shows that you have put your heart into it."

Xie Xiuwen smiled wryly, so what if he didn't pay attention?

The family is obviously not a poor family, but Guaibao has to look at other people's faces if he wants to eat a bowl of custard, and his wife is restrained everywhere. In the end, he is a man who has not been able to support their mother and daughter. .

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Since our Liu family made up the dowry for Ruolan, there is no need to worry about other things. Let the boss handle everything."
