Ning Youzhi didn't notice the anger in Zhou and Cui's eyes when he did this.
As an outsider, Aunt Tan could see everything clearly.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite.
It seems that the Li Zheng family is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface!
When Aunt Tan came back from delivering the things, she saw that Ning Laosi, who had been kneeling and watching her go out, was no longer at the door.
Thinking about it, I must have been invited home by my fourth grandma.
Aunt Tan breathed a sigh of relief. When she came out with the gift just now, she felt uncomfortable when she saw the Fourth Master kneeling like this.
After all, no matter what, he is the master and he is the slave.
It's better if you leave now so that everyone won't be embarrassed.
Ning Youcai returned home in despair. No matter how Zhao Juan talked to him, he did not respond.
Zhao Juan, who was holding her stomach, had no choice but to cook first.
No matter what, Ning Youcai was willing to listen to her advice and come home instead of kneeling at her mother-in-law's door. She felt that she had won.
When Ning Pengpeng woke up, feeling refreshed, Aunt Tan was already waiting outside with hot water for washing her face.
After washing her face and applying the moisturizing cream she bought in Mingzhoufu, Ning Pengpeng felt that the wrinkles on her face seemed to be reduced.
By the time it was time to have dinner, Ning Youfu had already driven the carriage back.
Although it is almost thirty miles to go to Shiqiao Village, driving a horse-drawn carriage is naturally much faster than walking or ox-cart.
In addition, Ning Youfu was anxious, so his speed was naturally fast.
In just two hours, we arrived at Shiqiao Village.
Shi Xianglan took her husband and Ning Youfu back home first, thinking about asking her parents to tell the people in the village about taking the place of corvee service.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Xianglan said it, Father Shi and Mother Shi opened their eyes wide and replied with surprise on their faces.
"You have eight brothers, and now there are seven left at home!
Since you have to pay money instead of doing corvee work, it is better to earn the money yourself."
Shi Xianglan then remembered that she did have many brothers. If her father hadn't learned how to hunt, he probably wouldn't have been able to feed these brothers.
Moreover, in order to find the person quickly, Ning Youfu promised to give each person three taels of silver.
The four brothers of the Ning family need four people, so twelve taels of silver.
With these twelve taels of silver, the family will be much richer.
Most importantly, with five less mouths in the family, a lot of food can be saved.
Not only Shi's father and mother were surprised, but several of Shi Xianglan's brothers were also excited.
It is estimated that such a large amount of money may only come once in this life, and it is not easy to earn.
Ning Youfu never expected that he would find someone so quickly.
Seeing that everyone in the Shi family was willing, he quickly paid a deposit of six taels of silver to Shi's father, and made an appointment to go to the Anzhen Yamen early tomorrow morning to sign and sign, indicating that he was willing to serve as a corvee on behalf of the four brothers of the Ning family.
thing.
Although the county magistrate had promised not to use money in lieu of corvee service, he was not so unreasonable as not to allow others to perform corvée service in his place.
As long as it is voluntary, the county magistrate will not interfere with the private transactions between the two parties.
Originally, Ning Youfu thought that he would go to Shiqiao Village to find the village manager and discuss it for a long time. He didn't expect that it would be done so quickly. Naturally, he wouldn't stay long. After agreeing on the time to go to Anzhen tomorrow morning, he hurriedly
Returned with Shi Xianglan and his wife.
Before coming back, Shi Xianglan hesitated for a long time and finally did not tell her parents about weaving straw curtains.
She felt that even if she wanted to talk about it, it would be better to report it to her father-in-law first and let her father-in-law discuss it with her aunt, and then tell her parents about it.
If she said it now, neither her father-in-law nor her aunt would agree, and her husband's family would probably blame her if they didn't say anything about her objections to her. She would make random promises to them when she was not sure of them, leaving them with hopes and disappointments.
At that time, she was really two-faced.
When Ning Youfu returned the carriage, he told Ning Pengpeng that the four brothers of the Shi family had been asked to serve as corvees instead, and six taels of silver had been paid in advance.
Ning Pengpeng nodded and asked him to find Ning Laoer and the others and ask them for the remaining silver.
"Mom, where is the fourth child?"
Ning Youfu was a little unsure, so he glanced at Ning Pengpeng secretly, and then asked hesitantly.
"What's wrong with him? If he doesn't want to pay, then he can do corvee work himself.
As a mother, I have treated him with all my kindness and righteousness."
Ning Pengpeng replied with wide eyes.
"And you, the shop is closed as soon as you say it is closed, do you know how serious the loss is?
It's just a matter of spending more money to find someone to do corvee work. Does it mean that you have to close your own shop?
Since you are still the shopkeeper, don’t you know how to calculate the incoming and outgoing accounts?”
Ning Youfu was so scolded by Ning Pengpeng that he lowered his head and did not dare to speak out.
He was also panicked at that time, and that's why he took the action of closing the shop.
After my mother came back and everything was settled, she finally came to her senses. In fact, she didn't need to be so panicked.
"Mom, my son is wrong!"
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, take your mother-in-law back to town as soon as possible.
No matter how big a deal it is, if you encounter anything again in the future, think it through with your brain first."
Ning Pengpeng waved his hand and did not leave him to eat.
"Yes, mother."
Ning Youfu bowed his head and exited. When he returned to his old house, he saw Mrs. Liu happily counting the gifts Ning Pengpeng had sent.
These were all bought in Mingzhou Prefecture, and they are all good things!
Especially those few pieces of fabric can make two sets of clothes for myself and my men.
There are also children who can also get two new clothes.
It's the fourth child who has no discernment and dares to cause trouble when the mother-in-law is not around.
I guess there will definitely be nothing in the fourth room this time.
"Pack your things and let's go back."
As soon as he entered the door, Ning Youfu gave instructions to Mrs. Liu.
"Ah? Why don't we stay a few more days?"
When I think of my mother-in-law being so generous, I don’t know how many good things she has in her hands!
For the first time, Ms. Liu felt that there was nothing wrong with serving her mother-in-law.
Moreover, my son and daughter are both here, and they have only been kissing each other for two days. Why did they go back?
"If we don't go back, you will be scolded by your mother!"
Ning Youfu glared at Mr. Liu, who looked troubled, and then went out to fetch a newly purchased donkey cart.
The ox-cart is too slow and the horse-drawn carriage is too expensive, so this donkey-cart is better!
It can pull things and people, and it's not expensive.
Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Liu suddenly trembled and remembered that the door of the shop was still closed!
Before, my mother-in-law probably only remembered scolding the fourth child and had forgotten about it!
If my mother-in-law remembers it, I will be taught a lesson by her if I am in front of her again.
Compared with the benefits that have not yet been obtained and the possibility of being scolded, Ms. Liu feels that it is better to go back to the town first.
After figuring this out, she hurriedly packed her things and loaded them all into the donkey cart.
After tidying up, I took the children to say goodbye to my mother-in-law, who was always beating a drum in her heart.
