Although Mrs. Qin knew the conditions of her neighbors very well, she didn't know them personally.
Because that information was told to her by Shu.
She has been suppressed by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law for many years. She lives like a walking zombie all day long. She only knows how to work and work. She has almost lost her social function. It is good if she does not hide when she sees outsiders. How can she take the initiative to interact with others.
However, after staying in the county town for these days, she gained a lot of knowledge and was much better than before. However, she still couldn't let go when she was asked to go out and socialize by herself.
So she took Chu Jing with her, then carried the basket and went out excitedly and nervously.
After walking around for a while, both mother and daughter didn't look very good.
Mrs. Qin originally felt guilty because she revealed the incident about Red Wolf, and did not dare to face Chu Shouli and Xu Ning. Even when she went out to socialize, she thought of going back quickly, and then found an excuse to continue hiding.
But now she can't stay alone.
There were meat and vegetables at home, but when she wanted to go to a restaurant to order a table, Chu Jing didn't cook and only steamed the buns. It was getting late, and Chu Ning didn't let her bother anymore, so the family just kept it simple.
Just have a simple meal of steamed buns and be done with it.
Chu Shouli said to Mrs. Qin, "I'll cook a few more dishes in the evening. I'll move back home anyway. It's such a nice house. I feel bad if I don't celebrate it properly."
Mrs. Qin nodded.
He added, "Pack those two rabbits out early and prepare them for Red Wolf and Little Gray Hui. I'll pick them up as soon as it gets dark."
Qin's face stiffened slightly when she mentioned the Red Wolf, but when she saw that Chu Shouli didn't say anything else, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help it, "Two rabbits cost fifty or sixty cents, and this is still just one rabbit.
One meal, the little one is better, and can be fed with some grain, while the older one only eats meat, and eats more, four or five meals a day..."
Chu Jing was washing the pots and dishes. Hearing these words, he paused and glanced at her quickly. Then he lowered his head and continued working without even daring to look at Chu Ning.
Mrs. Qin originally thought about it but didn't let it go too much, but when it came to money, she couldn't stop, "... Even if you work hard, you can't earn a hundred cents a day, which is not enough to support them.
!”
Chu Shouli looked at her in surprise, "You don't want them anymore?"
He simply couldn't understand his wife's thoughts. You must know that they can live in such a good house now, but it is all thanks to the red wolf. It is a great contributor to their family. How can he dislike it just because it has had nothing to eat for two days?
Already.
Mrs. Qin choked.
She used to hate Red Wolf, but now she sees Red Wolf as the God of Wealth, so how can she still dislike him.
Even more impossible to abandon.
Besides, that wolf is spiritual and cannot be abandoned even if he wants to.
"I, I didn't mean that..."
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but secretly went to see Chu Ning.
Chu Ning sneered, "Then what do you mean? You want me to continue hunting with the Red Wolf and make money for you, right?"
Hearing what she said, Chu Shouli became serious. He said to Mrs. Qin, "My daughter will be a scholar soon. How can she do those menial jobs anymore..."
Those who can go to the academy are the children of wealthy families. The status of a daughter is inherently inferior to them. If people find out that she runs to the mountains every day with a wild boy, they don't know how to laugh at her.
Besides, this family can't always count on the daughter, he is the one who should take the responsibility of supporting the family.
Chu Shouli wanted to talk these thoughts over to Mrs. Qin so that she would not be dissatisfied with Chu Ning. These days, he could see that the two of them couldn't talk to each other and always got angry over trivial things.
It would be bad to be stiff over this matter.
"...We still have some savings, don't we? We have enough food and drink now, so why are you anxious? Well, I don't have any skills and I don't know how to do business. It's not easy to make money. Fortunately, I still have some strength.
As long as you are willing to endure hardship, you can always make money..."
Chu Shouli thought for a moment and then said, "Now that you have time, you can find a long-term job. Well, if you don't want to wash clothes for others, just change your job. It's quite easy to find a job in the county. Qian'er
I also heard that the Tao family’s bun shop wants a woman who is quick with her hands and feet, and the salary is quite good. Why don’t you give it a try..."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Qin couldn't bear it anymore. She screamed in a high voice, "We are all from the same street. Why should I be inferior to others and work for others when I am the boss's wife?!"
Chu Ning had already seen that she was restless, so he was not surprised to see her like this.
But Chu Shouli couldn't accept it, "How can you think so? It's their ability to open a shop. We don't have the ability, so we can only work hard..."
Chu Jing was very sad when she heard the two arguing, but she didn't know how to persuade her. She could only lower her head and work silently. She thought to herself that it was lucky that Tiantian and Ranran had returned to the house, otherwise she would have been much upset when she saw her parents so noisy.
Scared.
I don't know what kind of stimulation this woman received, but she actually dared to quarrel with her father.
Chu Ning intuitively found it interesting.
Enjoyed watching it.
"There is obviously a way to make money quickly and save effort, but you have to use it, so you just drag me to do the work!"
Mrs. Qin was so wronged that she loudly accused her, "Go and ask around. How can any woman on this street go out to serve people? If I really go, I won't be laughed at. There are other men who are not here."
When you work in the yamen, you just open a shop and make a lot of money, but you are the one carrying the big bag..."
After hearing this, Chu Shouli was really stupid if he still didn't understand why she suddenly made trouble unreasonably.
However, it was not easy to think about the Qin family all these years, so he patiently explained, "My ancestors have lived in the city for generations, and the wealth accumulated by several generations cannot be compared to ours. I can live in such a big house, but I have to rely on it."
Let us be content with our daughter's blessings and don't compare ourselves with others..."
Mrs. Qin couldn't listen at all, "But it's not like we can't make a lot of money, why do we have to endure hardship?"
If she hadn't known that Red Wolf only listened to Chu Ning, she would have already encouraged Chu Shouli to go hunting. Not only did she not have to look at Chu Ning's face, but she could also hold the money in her own hands. It was really comfortable just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, Chu Shouli couldn't instruct Red Wolf, so she could only make decisions from Chu Ning.
Chu Shouli frowned, "Didn't I say that my daughter wants to study?"
"What is she reading?!"
Seeing that Chu Shouli was making excuses about Chu Ning's studying, Mrs. Qin couldn't hold it in any longer, "Just study for a few children. If you know a few words, you can find a good husband, but she is already with the boy from the Fang family."
, why are you wasting that money? If you have that time, you might as well earn more money and buy more dowry, so as not to be looked down upon by others after marrying into the Fang family..."
Chu Jing shook and the rag in his hand fell to the ground.
Chu Shouli was so shocked that he almost knocked over the tea cup next to him, "You, what are you talking about? My daughter is still young..."
"Humph! She is young, and she is not as young and old as she is young..."
"Yeah?"
Chu Ning said coldly, "Why didn't I know? I have a lot of ambitions?"
Mrs. Qin was so noisy that she almost forgot that she was still here.
Now I suddenly heard her voice, and I shivered subconsciously.
