The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 10 Zhao Family (2)
Zhao Shihua smiled faintly. He had never expected to borrow some money from his sister-in-law, so naturally there was no disappointment, but his heart was a little cold, but it also strengthened his will to get ahead.Didn't he already know?If you want your wife and children to live a good life, you can't count on anyone but yourself.

Zhao Shihua doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that his eldest brother Zhao Shirong and his parents don't care.Hearing that Mrs. Wang had lent all the family money to her natal family privately, Zhao Shirong immediately turned dark and said, "What? Brother Nan and his uncle borrowed all the family money? When? How do you deal with such a big matter?" Won't you discuss it with me?" It's not that you can't lend money to your natal family, but you should tell him, the head of the family!

Anran's grandfather, Zhao Maosheng, also looked at the eldest daughter-in-law dissatisfied, but saw that his son had already opened his mouth to reprimand him, so he didn't speak for the time being.But An Ran's grandmother, Rong, couldn't help cursing: "Well, you Wang Zhaodi, do you really think of yourself as the Zhao family? You even secretly took the money back to your natal family without even saying a word to the boss. Tell me, do you have any?" Didn't you take the boss seriously? Do you still have our Zhao family in your heart?"

Mrs. Wang immediately called Qu and said, "Mother, it's not that I didn't discuss it with the child's father. Didn't he go to Mr. Yao's house to do a part-time job in those few days? I made my own decision and lent it to Brother Nan's uncle, saying It took two years to pay off..."

"You... really lent Brother Nan to his uncle?" Zhao Shirong still knew his mother-in-law a little bit, so he asked again for confirmation.

Wang nodded again and again: "I really lent the child to his uncle."

"Then I came back yesterday, why didn't you tell me?" Zhao Shirong still didn't believe it.

"I'm glad you came back, but I forgot to say..." Wang said with her head bowed in shame.

Zhao Shirong glared at Wang, actually he still had some doubts in his heart whether she hid the money because she didn't want to lend it to her second child to take the exam, but he also knew that if the woman refused to admit it, he couldn't help it.

"Borrowed everything? Didn't keep anything?" Zhao Shirong asked unwillingly.

Mrs. Wang stammered, "I, I still left 150 big money...I, I'll go and get it..."

What can 150 coins do?Well, after all, it's not a dime a dozen.Zhao Shihua smiled immediately and said: "No need, sister-in-law. The county lord will send someone to escort me to the state capital this time, and the county will pay for the board and lodging along the way. In addition, there is still a lot of money left by Uncle Qi's last time. Not much, enough."

When Wang heard this, she immediately turned around, smiled dryly and said, "Since the second uncle doesn't need it, I'll keep it for the family." Then, she slipped back to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Afterwards, He Shi, the third daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, took the two coins and 350 Wen that had been saved at home.Zhao Shifu handed the money to Zhao Shihua and said, "Second brother, take extra money with you when you are going out, so that you don't get caught in case you need it urgently."

Zhao Shihua was moved, but he didn't accept it.He is really not short of money to go to the state capital for the exam.An Ran's maternal grandfather's family is a merchant, although the status is low, but the family is well-off.When I married Gu Shi to him, I also heard that he had some talent and fame when he was young. I hope that if he gets a good reputation in the future, the Gu family's business can also grow bigger.Therefore, the three brothers of the Zhao family separated, and Zhao Shihua got the least share, and the Gu family didn't complain.

After breakfast, Zhao Shifu went to the home of Zhao Yuhe, the eldest sister in the neighboring village, to announce the good news. At noon, Zhao Yuhe's family caught a chicken and came over, saying that it would give Zhao Shihua a good boost.At noon, the whole family got together to have a reunion dinner. Although the meal was still very simple, there was only one piece of bacon, a few salted duck eggs, and the rest was radish, cabbage, wild vegetables and dried pickles, but everyone ate very happily.Even An Ran got half of a salted duck egg, but brother An Qi loved him so much that he gave her half of his own duck egg yolk.

After the meal, the men sat and talked in the main room, and the women cleaned up the kitchen, washed the dishes and fed the animals, then sat around the yard with small stools doing needlework, and watched the children by the way.

Zhao Yuhe saw that Gu Wanniang's embroidered pattern was very unique, and asked, "Where did you get this pattern, Wanniang? Is it a new pattern that is popular in the state capital now?"

Gu Wanniang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law drew this for fun when she was free. I thought it was novel and unique, so I used it as a flower."

"Did Sister Ran draw it?" Zhao Yuhe couldn't believe it, "How old is Sister Ran?"

"She just likes to write and draw." Gu Wanniang said with a bit of complacency, "His father often said that although our daughter is young, she can read and write better than her brother!"

Thinking of her two daughters who had no chance to read and write, Mrs. Wang deliberately sighed and said, "It's a pity that she is a girl. If she were a son, she might be a scholar like Second Uncle! Didn't win the show!"

Gu Wanniang heard the sarcasm in the sister-in-law's words and hated secretly, but she had nothing to refute.It's true that Nannan is a girl, her husband just passed the county examination, and it's also true that she didn't pass the prefectural examination.

The He family of the third family couldn't help but give Wang a secret look.This elder sister-in-law seems to think that her brothers are better than her family, and she wants to overwhelm them in everything, and if she can't, she will say some hurtful words to make people feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Yuhe didn't care so much, and immediately lowered his face and said: "What's wrong with the girl? Doesn't the sister-in-law also have two girls? Wanniang, a son and a daughter, just make up a good character, but it's a blessing that others can't envy. I think so My sister is smart and sensible, so she is very cute." After saying that, Zhao Yuhe smiled and waved to An Ran, "But sister, come to Auntie!"

Before An Ran appeared to be playing with the children with her back to the adults, but in fact she was listening to the adults with her ears up all the time. After listening to what Wang said, she had already hated this eldest aunt.She was just a little strange. The eldest aunt didn't seem to be so kind to their family before. What's the matter?It seems that the eldest aunt has been helping their family to speak today!Well, it should be because my father passed the county case chief examination and is about to stand out. She, as a sister, can take advantage of it in the future, right?

An Ran ran to Zhao Yuhe with a sweet smile, blinked and said, "Auntie's name is Nannan?"
