Chapter 30: Mr. Xu, Who Was Trained Again
"What's the idea?"
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Old Mrs. Xu in confusion.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Wife, look, the county magistrate is preparing to give our family a prize of 100 taels of silver. I am afraid that the tree will attract the wind, so I asked the county to give the money to us to build the road!"
"That's right, it's pretty good!"
Old Mrs. Xu is not a person with shallow eyes, but also understands what this sudden wealth represents. It is indeed very good to spend money in a different way.
On the one hand, I made a good reputation from the county magistrate; on the other hand, the villagers also had to remember their goodness.
Although one hundred taels of silver is a lot, you can always make money in the future and it won’t be too conspicuous.
"What's good!"
Mr. Xu had a bitter face, "That's one hundred taels! How long does it take for our family to save these silver?"
"What's wrong? Do you regret it?"
When the old lady Xu saw Mr. Xu's appearance, she frowned, "Boss, you can't lose money. We have taken this money, it's really hot!"
"I know!"
Mr. Xu was still a little unwilling to accept it, "So, I was wondering if I could change my way and earn the money back!"
"You have a way?"
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Old Mrs. Xu carefully.
Mr. Xu laughed and said in a low voice: "Isn't this going into the mountain to find wood to build a house? When you came back, you didn't see it. The pheasant was like blindness and flew towards me. And the rabbit hit the tree stump one end."
"Oh, by the way, there is also the wild ginseng tree. My second brother fell and found it!"
"You said, our family is so lucky. Otherwise, from tomorrow, I will take the eldest and the second brother to see the sky enter the mountain. What do you think?"
"But you!"
Old Mrs. Xu didn't even think about it and slapped her on the edge of the bed.
"Boss, you're so confused!"
"In this life, this blessing and luck are all a mystery. If our family's good luck is squandered like you, how long can it last?"
"Besides, you three men and women will gain something when they see Tianjie Mountain. What do others think?"
"Are you stupid?"
Old Mrs. Xu did not show mercy to Mr. Xu at all, and just muttered.
"Master, I've told you that from tomorrow on, you, the eldest and second brothers, are not allowed to go to other places except to cut some firewood in the back mountain!"
"The third brother is going to end again next year. We have to save up this blessing!"
"I'm talking to you, have you heard?"
"I heard it, I heard it!"
Mr. Xu is so wronged. Didn’t he just want to take advantage of his luck and get more money? What does it mean that a person has a good lifelong blessing?
However, facing his own wife with a temper, Mr. Xu could only listen obediently.
The world is big, and the pregnant woman is the biggest.
At this moment, Mr. Xu had to do it and even choke with the old lady, for fear of making the old lady angry.
...
No words all night.
Early the next morning, Mr. Xu slept until midnight.
The old man who was scolded yesterday has decisively started his leisurely life today.
Cut wood?
Not interested.
Is it difficult for my two sons to clean up some firewood for winter?
However, it is not that simple for Mr. Xu to be idle.
When lunch was over, the old seven-seventh village of Cun Zhengguan ran to Lao Xu's house happily.
