Chapter 58 What About Me

The night has been falling quietly for a long time, and a few night stars are shining coldly in the dark sky.Shen Chengyao felt uncommonly uncomfortable, he lay on the kang and looked at the beams on the roof quietly with his eyes wide open.This is the first time he has shown face in front of his parents when he grows up to this age, so why does he need his brother to help his eldest brother's wife and children already dressed in gold and silver?My daughter-in-law doesn't even have a piece of gold or silver jewelry!His father is eager to see his son Jackie Chan, he can understand, but his eldest brother is picking up his father and mother to plot against his brother, he thinks this is too much, he can't accept it, and the matter of Yun'er is not related to the eldest brother's family ?Yamen has no news yet...

Mrs. Liu checked whether the diaper was dry for the younger sister, then covered her with a quilt, turned around and lay down, and saw that Shen Chengyao was not asleep, and urged, "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"You and the children have suffered a lot these years." Shen Chengyao held Liu Shi in his arms.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu paused, "Well, but it's all over, don't we have more and more hope now?"

"Brother's family..."

"What kind of people are they? For so many years, don't we know? What happened to Yun'er is unknown for a day, so we can do what we should do in the future!" Although she felt sorry for her children in her heart, she made her and the children suffer and suffer. It hasn't reached the point where she can't bear it, but her intuition tells her that what happened to Yun'er must have something to do with Dafang. If the sacrifices of herself and her children make people feel that it is right for her family to give everything for them, it is natural, including selling One's own flesh and blood, that's not acceptable!She doesn't care how he takes advantage of her, but she can't harm her own child!Her kindness and tolerance are based on not counting her own children.

"The eldest brother's family bought a two-entry house in the town, and bought a servant to order it around." Shen Chengyao remembered that when he went to the town to look for beams to build the house, he saw Shen Chengguang walk into a house, and the concierge respectfully called him master. , he asked the people nearby, and found out that Shen Chengguang bought the house in the town five years ago, and they didn't know anything for so many years, and they were still eating chaff and vegetables in the village to save money. The money was used for his son's education and for their family's rich clothing and jade food.

"What, it shouldn't be!"

"I bought it five years ago, and I happened to see it, so I asked someone about it."

Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment, "Well, Dafang's family is a bit overwhelmed... But now that we have separated, it's good for us to try our best to live our own lives." She was not greedy for more, she felt that money was not for There are those who fight to grab and try their best to take advantage of others, how long can the money obtained in this way be used?People should rely on themselves, do great things with as much power as their own hands, eat as much as they earn, and use as much as they use, without complaining about the sky or favoring others.

Shen Chengyao also thought so, but because he had a brotherhood since childhood, he would feel more uncomfortable than Liu Shi, but he didn't want to fight in the past, so he hugged Liu Shi tightly, the two of them didn't talk anymore, and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Doctor Luo sent someone to look for Xiao'er.

"Aunt Lin, is there anything wrong with coming here so early?" Mrs. Liu welcomed her into the room, and Mrs. Liu wanted to pour water.

"Auntie Lin is busy stopping you, Third Madam Shen, don't be too busy, I left with a message. It is the young master Shangguan who wants to find Miss Xiao'er. Let me ask if she is free to go to the county today."

"Today? When are you leaving?" Xiao'er heard this as soon as she walked in, just as she was thinking of selling pearls and ginseng in the county.

"Miss Xiao'er can leave whenever it is convenient for her, and Xiao Fuzi is in the mansion." This is already ready, and you can leave at any time.

"Let's go in half an hour, I have some things to prepare."

"Okay, the old slave will leave first."

"Aunt Lin, go slowly."

"Mother, what about father?"

"Your father went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to the bank in the town to exchange some copper coins, and the ground would be broken the day after tomorrow. Today is Xiaoji, so he also has to buy some sacrifices."

"Mother, Brother Shangguan is probably looking for me to discuss the toy store. I'll go out later and sell the pearls and ginseng."

"Okay, then let your brother accompany you?" Liu was a little worried that Xiao'er would be alone.

"No, the family needs someone right now, so I can do it myself, and I'm riding in Brother Shangguan's carriage, nothing will happen, I plan to entrust them to sell things." Of course, the latter words are to appease Liu.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was relieved. She was worried that Xiao'er would sell it by herself, but Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei had a good impression on her, so she was most relieved to ask him to help sell it.

Xiao'er went back to her room and put the pearls in the box that Shangguan Xuanyi sent the book last time, and wrapped the ginseng in cloth and put it in the box. In addition, she put one more big black pearl and dozens of small pink pearls. pearl.I also put the glass products I drew last night, the concept materials and design drawings related to the toy store, and the rubber production method I copied from the space study last night into the back basket, and then took out the bucket of latex, ready to Give it to Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei to find a way to make rubber.Seeing that Xiaoer brought a lot of things, Mrs. Liu helped her carry the bucket of latex to Dr. Luo's house.

Xiao Fuzi took Xiao'er to the private room of the restaurant last time, knocked on the door, "Master, Miss Xiao'er has arrived."

"Come in."

Xiao'er walked in, and Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei were drinking tea and chatting.Seeing Xiao'er carrying a basket on her back, and Xiao Fuzi coming in with a bucket of milky white things, Di Zhaowei pointed to the wooden bucket, "Girl, what are you doing here with a bucket of milk?"

"It's not milk, it's latex, it's inedible, it's poisonous."

"What are you using the poisonous thing for? Throw it out quickly." Di Zhaowei avoided it far away.

"This is the material for making rubber. The water pump I drew last time had a rubber sealing ring inside, so I needed this latex to make it." Xiao'er put down the pannier, then took out a stack of paper, and pulled out the rubber. , put it on the top, "Two big brothers, here are the methods of making rubber and some design drawings and materials about glass making and toy shops, please take a look first."

Shangguan Xuanyi handed Xiaoer a wooden box, "This is made by Lin Sheng." Then he picked up the documents and looked.

Xiao'er opened it and saw a glass bowl lying quietly in it. It was very simple without any pattern, but it was clear, transparent and clean.Xiao'er nodded, "That's right, this is very good, and when you become proficient in the future, you can also carve and paint."

After reading the method of making rubber, Shangguan Xuanyi handed it to Di Zhaowei, "Find someone to try it out."

Di Zhaowei took it over, looked at it, and nodded with a meticulous expression on his face.

"Brother Shangguan asked me to come to the county today, why?"

"I found the toy store, and I want to take you to see if there is any problem." Shangguan Xuanyi answered while browsing.

Xiao'er looked at him with his head bowed, his sharp-edged side profile like a knife carving, and his long eyelashes like a small fan. Fanning him, he was so handsome. She couldn't help cursing in her heart, "Monster .”

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at it quickly, and after reading it, he saw the box he gave her last time in the pannier carried by Xiaoer, "Why did you bring it here?"

Xiao'er followed his line of sight and looked over, "I temporarily used it to pack some things for sale, and there is no suitable box at home."

After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi raised his eyebrows. Is there anything that needs to be sold in the box he gave?

"Take a look."

Xiao'er picked up the box and handed it to him.

Shangguan Xuanyi opened it, even though he had seen countless rare treasures, he was also attracted by these pearls.

"How much are these beads, girl? I bought them." Di Zhaowei rushed over to snatch the box away, just as the old matriarch was about to celebrate his birthday, and he was wondering what to give.

Shangguan Xuanyi closed the box, avoiding Di Zhaowei's cat's claws, "I got it first."

"You didn't say buy it, I said it first!"

"I didn't say no to buying."

"You rascal!" Di Zhaowei didn't care about his dignity.

Xiaoer pretended to rummage through the basket, and took out two large white and black pearls from the space, "Brother Di, I still have two here."

Hearing this, Di Zhaowei hurried over, grabbed the basket and rummaged through it by himself, and sure enough there was a big black and white pearl, and he picked up one in each hand, "Haha, now the old lady has her birthday gift. "

He put the two pearls into the hands of the servant Di Gui, and then took out two thousand taels of silver bills, "How about 1000 taels, girl?"

Xiao'er originally planned to sell it to Zhenbao Pavilion for 500 taels, but Di Zhaowei had a good relationship with her, let alone accept more, so she said, "I originally planned to sell it to Zhenbao Pavilion for 500 taels, and Brother Di is not Outsiders, I buy one and get one free, and I only charge 300 taels, and if I have one, it will be my birthday gift to the old lady."

When Di Zhaowei heard Xiao'er said that he was not an outsider, his joy was indescribable, "Since you call me big brother, I can't take advantage of you anymore, okay, I'll take one for the old lady, and the other one for me." I bought it for 1000 taels, girl, don’t refuse, I know you are short of money.”

When Shangguan Xuanyi heard Xiaoer say that Di Zhaowei was not an outsider, he felt a little uncomfortable, sour and astringent, "What about me?"
