Seeking Happiness

Chapter 101: Not a single copper plate

Views:

After all, Mrs. Xu is a person who often plays tricks in the market, not a lady like Zhang Hanfang who has not left the boudoir. She has already cultivated her face and does not need others to pass her any steps. After finding that crying is useless, she fell. He was also refreshing, put on his shoes as if nothing had happened, got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from crying with a handkerchief, and said, "I'm thirsty, bring me some tea."

The speed of this face-changing was so fast that people couldn't get used to it, and Meimei's eyeballs almost fell out from the sidelines.

Shu Huan smiled slightly: "Beautiful scenery, pour tea."

Meimei was a little hesitant, fearing that she would not be able to deal with such a rascal Xu's mother here alone, but seeing her calm and undisturbed appearance, and thinking that this was the Gu family's other courtyard, no matter how rascal Xu was, she wouldn't make a move. Only then agreed to go in a panic.

Seeing the little maid left, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, sneered while fanning the wind with her handkerchief: "This Gu family really knows how to take care of people. You've only been here for a long time, and you dare not even listen to my words."

"That's right." Shu Huan replied flatly: "Who the hell can't hit me now?"

Xu choked, and realized that he could not gain the upper hand when talking to her, and the expression on his face was even more resentful, so he simply threatened her directly: "Unfilial piety is a felony, are you not afraid that I will sue you in the yamen?"

Shu Huan lifted his sleeves, revealing the faint scars on his arms, and said, "Mother, are you willing to tell me?"

These injuries were left by the original owner when she was beaten by Xu. She found that the anti-scar medicine that Ji Danqing gave last time was very useful, so she asked for more and rubbed it frequently. It is very difficult to get rid of it, it will be exposed to the sun, and it can still be seen clearly.

Mrs. Xu glanced at it with a guilty conscience, and said firmly: "If you don't fight, you can't become a talent. I'm doing this for your own good. Whoever told you to fight when you were young will not be obedient..."

Shu Huan unbuttoned his sleeves and said, "Who taught the child such heavy hands? I have injuries like this all over my body. Some things are clear to my mother, and I know them too, so I don't need to say them clearly."

Mrs. Xu muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, beating a child is justified and you will be reported to the yamen. The magistrate of the county only asks about your crime of disobedience, and has no control over me teaching the child."

Shu Huan said nothing, but nodded slowly.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xu became complacent again, and said with a flattering smile: "I don't have the heart to hurt you by raising you, but you just said it casually because you got angry, don't take it to heart, you'd better rush Let’s see if there is any money, no matter how much, borrow a few taels, teach my family first, and let the famine survive.”

Shu Huan couldn't help laughing, and looked her up and down.

Xu's heart was a little terrified by her laughter, and he said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"

"Xiaoniang is not old yet, why is it easy to forget things." Shu Huan said: "Didn't I just say that it is not difficult to borrow and repay, and when will my mother return the money I borrowed last time, I will borrow it again." you"

Seeing Xu's face suddenly changed, she smiled again: "As for whether mother wants to sue me in the yamen, then I don't care, but does mother know where the gate of the yamen opens? Have you ever heard of 'Don't come in if you have a reason? 'This sentence? Do I need to send someone to review the old man and teach him to hand over a name sticker to the county magistrate, saying that you are going to sue his daughter-in-law for being unfilial, and ask the magistrate to take care of you?"

This series of questions left Xu shi speechless.

she doesn't make sense

Not to mention that Shu Huan is already married, there is no reason to use money from her husband's family to subsidize her mother's family, even if she is not married, she still has a husband and biological children in her family, so it is not Shu Huan's turn to bear the burden of supporting and filial piety.

What's more, the common people's legs tremble when they hear the official word. Someone dragged her outside the yamen and pushed her in to sue. Who knew that Shu Huan, who seemed to have a different personality from the past, actually had a different soul in his bones, and this would also be bluffing to scare her

After being silent for a long while, Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back, and said softly, "I'm coaxing you to play, why are you serious."

Shu Huan saw through her sternness: "I don't have that much flirtatiousness, and I can take everything seriously, so mother should refrain from making jokes like this in the future."

Mrs. Xu let her taunt without saying a word. Seeing her calm down, she tentatively bargained and said: "The family really ate and never stopped. I don't want much money, just two liang of silver. how?"

Shu Huan flatly refused: "I'm also suffering from a famine here. There are servants all over the house, and those who pass messages to and from each other have to be rewarded. I didn't bring in the dowry, and my mother borrowed the monthly money last time. I will pay it back now." Isn’t it poor enough to live on? Not to mention two taels of silver, I can’t even find a single copper plate.”

Xu said bitterly: "Then you should give me the money to hire the car."

To give her the money to hire a car, she didn't see this opportunity, and came here every day to ask for the car money

Shu Huan didn't look at her in a blink of an eye, and said: "There is a car in another courtyard, let the driver take you back later."

Xu still wanted to say more, Meimei came with tea, and Huiyun was behind her, and the two servant girls stopped beside Shu Huan, one behind the other, protecting her.

Seeing this posture, if the trouble continues, Shu Huan should speak up and call the two servants to fork her out.

Angrily, Xu snatched the tea bowl from Mei Jing's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and finally poured out all the remaining tea leaves, without even returning the tea bowl, she put it in her arms, turned around and left.

The two servant girls were dumbfounded, and hesitated to speak.

If you can't ask for it, you can grab it clearly

What was stolen was Gu's stuff

With such a mother, even if she is a stepmother, she would be ashamed and thrown at home

Shu Huan sneered and called out: "Hui Yun"

At this time, Huiyun became more cautious, and quickly responded: "My maidservant is here."

"I lost something in my room last time, who stole it, did you find it out?"

Huiyun was taken aback for a moment, and then took advantage of the situation and said, "Go back to Second Grandma, I haven't found out yet."

Shu Huan raised his eyebrows and said: "Then go ahead and search for lost things. It's not a big deal. You can't get used to this thief's problem. You can go to the porter and tell the concierge. If you find out who is going out with the stolen goods, you don't need to ask, and you will be tied up immediately." In order to meet an official, you can hit as many boards as you need, no matter who he is, he is not allowed to intercede."

When Mrs. Xu heard her say that she had lost something, she stopped and listened attentively. After she finished speaking, she looked down at the teacup in her bosom, shivered for a moment, as if holding a hot potato, and immediately took the teacup away. After coming out, he turned back and put it on the tea tray held by Meijing, then turned around and left.

"Beautiful scenery." Shu Huan called the names again: "My mother doesn't know the way, don't go around the wrong place while walking, you can see it off."

"Hey," Meimei responded, and hurriedly followed.

It's impossible not to send this kind of person, who knows where she wandered along the road and what she put in her arms

Xu's heart was full of hatred, but Shu Huan refused to accept the soft and hard, she had no choice but to follow the beautiful scenery in despair, angrily.

Seeing the two walking farther and farther, Shu Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly to Huiyun: "Turn around and tell the concierge that my mother will come to the door again next time, there is no need to inform her, and she is not allowed to come in."

Huiyun had known for a long time that she looked good, but she was just too lazy to care about it. If she really offended her, she would not be the one to let others bully her, so she was not surprised at all, and immediately responded obediently with a low eyebrow.
