Chapter 339 Is it a conflict with my mother-in-law's five elements?
Chen Yu was surrounded by people, who asked all kinds of questions.
Someone asked: "Xiangjun, can we be house slaves?"
The one asked: "Can we go to Sujiazhuang to farm?"
More people talked about their sons or daughters.
The most outrageous thing is that a woman actually led a five or six-year-old girl and asked: "Xiang Jun, can you choose a maid for the ladies at home? Can my Nier do it?"
Chen Yu raised her voice: "Fellow fellow villagers, our family has selected people. We don't need nursing homes or long-term workers, and we don't choose maids or reading companions for our children. Let's go."
These people still refused to disperse, and five or six people from the Yahang ran out. They were finally separated, giving Chen Yu a way to enter the Yahang.
Zheng Yue'e took a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. She was frightened by this battle. In her heart, selling children and daughters was forced to do so. Looking at the excited looks of these people, how could there be any trace of sadness?
After entering the dental shop, the person in charge of the dental shop kept asking Chen Yu to sit down, and ordered the boy to quickly call out the people Chen Yu selected.
Chen Yu and Zheng Yuee asked each other one by one, and they all signed the death contract willingly.
The next two people began to choose one by one. After the nineteen people were decided, Chen Yu met with the families of the nineteen people, signed death certificates and went to the Yamen to cross the road. From then on, these nineteen people were slaves of the Su family.
membership.
After selecting these people, Chen Yu and Zheng Yue'e went to pick up Cui Liangxiu and rented two mule carts to take these people back to Sujiazhuang.
The people at the entrance of the dental shop left reluctantly, as if they had missed the opportunity to rise to prominence.
After arriving home, Zheng Yue'e directed these people to clean up two rooms in the back room and let them rest for a while. Then she went back to each yard and asked them to come and pick people.
Li Xiuying was still in her confinement. When she heard that there was going to be a waiter at home, she pulled Zheng Yuee's hand and said: "Second sister-in-law, I don't need a waiter in this house. Now my life is good, but the expenses are also high, so I can save some money."
Just save some money."
"My dear Xiuying, don't you think your second sister-in-law doesn't think so? But my mother doesn't agree. She comes from a poor family since she was a child. I can control myself, but I don't know how to control others. What my mother means is you.
Sooner or later, the third sister-in-law must have servants to take care of her. After all, she is about to take the scientific examination. Your fourth sister-in-law should really have someone to help her. The fourth sister-in-law is an official, and I am afraid that your fourth sister-in-law will not know how to do it.
When you are an official wife, you should learn it as soon as possible."
Li Xiuying couldn't laugh or cry: "Lao Wu and I don't have to work together. We just have a workshop. I'm young and capable, and Lao Wu doesn't have any official status."
"Your second brother and I are the same. The sixth and sixth brothers are more hands-on. Our mother said that all wives are the same. If you want one, you have to have one. She won't tolerate any one of them being distinguished in their own hearts.
This matter." Zheng Yuee patted Li Xiuying's hand: "Xiuying, do you understand our mother's painstaking efforts?"
Li Xiuying sighed: "But we wives are enjoying it so much, how can we have the shame to look back?"
"I will take good care of the house, you and Yuling will make good money, mother will support us, and we will make mother proud." Zheng Yue'e looked at Li Xiuying with a smile: "You are smart, let's just stop here, you don't have to go later, I will
Someone will bring it to you."
Li Xiuying could only nod. After Zheng Yue'e left, she looked at the window and murmured to herself: "After all, the third sister-in-law broke my mother's heart."
Among the daughters-in-law of the Su family, only Cui Liangxiu thought this was a normal thing and chose a mother-in-law and a maid to keep beside her. Zheng Yue'e understood this in her heart, so she sat calmly below Chen Yu.
But she didn't pick it. She didn't want to pick it.
Qiao Chunhua was startled when she came in. She turned around and sat down below Zheng Yuee without saying a word.
Li Xiuying was unable to come during her confinement period, so her youngest daughter-in-law Pan Yuling refused with a very good reason: "Mom, before I married into the Su family, I was a poor person like them and couldn't do anything."
At this time, Cui Liangxiu, who was chosen first, was dumbfounded. She even wondered if she and her mother-in-law were in conflict with each other, and every time she did something, she would be disgusted by her mother-in-law?
She lowered her eyebrows anxiously, not knowing what to say, so she simply shut up and stopped talking.
Chen Yu was very calm. The poor days of her family were still vivid in her mind. Now that these daughters-in-law were asked to choose a successor, it was understandable that they could not accept it for a while. At least in the future, the evil brought about by the poor and the sudden wealth would not be exposed, and
It can be said that I am very lucky, and all my daughters-in-law have simple qualities.
Of course, she does not hate Cui Liangxiu, because under the rules, it is understandable for Cui Liangxiu to keep pace with the times.
At this time, the people waiting to be selected were all in a panic. Several women lowered their eyebrows and said nothing, and several young girls, all fourteen or fifteen years old, showed timidity.
Chen Yu said calmly: "You two are not willing to choose, so we can't let our Su family make a joke of slaves choosing masters, right?"
"Mother, you choose first." Zheng Yue'e quickly smoothed things over. The Su family cannot afford to lose face at all, let alone make people laugh at them behind their backs.
Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zou from the kitchen are standing over here."
As he spoke, he pointed to the empty seat next to him, and the woman whose name was called quickly came over.
Chen Yu continued: "Quanzao Madam Leng and Madam Dong are also standing over."
"Yes." Two women in their thirties stood next to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zou.
Chen Yu picked up the tea and took a sip: "The four of you are in charge of the kitchen. Our Su family is not very particular about food and drink, but since we have specially arranged people, you four will follow the instructions of the wife in charge and then put together the recipes.
When the boss’s wife agreed, we followed the recipe.”
The four people responded in unison.
Looking at these people again, Chen Yu's eyes fell on the faces of the two little girls: "You two, come here."
Two little girls came over and knelt in front of Chen Yu.
Chen Yu asked the round-faced girl on the left: "Are you Lady Leng's daughter?"
"Yes." The little girl replied tremblingly.
Chen Yu nodded: "From now on, when you are by my side, your name will be Leng Xiang."
"Lengxiang thanks the master for giving me the name." Lengxiang kowtowed quickly.
Chen Yu asked her to get up and stand beside him, and said to the other little girl with an oval face: "Your name is Xunmei, and you will stay with me from now on."
Xunmei also knelt down and kowtowed, standing next to Lengxiang, secretly looking at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu took a sip of tea and said: "Our family is not a wealthy family, and everyone who deserves it has their own duties. The mother-in-law is responsible for sweeping, sweeping, and washing the yard, and the maids follow the daughter-in-law to wait on them. Chunhua and Xiuying
We all have children to take care of, and both the mother-in-law and the maid can help, freeing you up to do the things at hand, so don’t refuse, just take your pick."
"Mom, I've selected the person from Xiuying's side and sent them over." Zheng Yuee said in a low voice.
Chen Yu nodded: "Just add these people to the roster and send them here for me to take a look at."
"Yes." After Zheng Yue'e responded, she straightened her body and said, "If you don't choose me, I will make the appointment. If you don't like it then, don't come over and cry with me. If you want someone who meets your eye, just choose it quickly."
Chen Yu lowered his eyebrows and didn't care at all, but when he heard Zheng Yue'e's behavior, the corners of his mouth curled up a little uncontrollably. Look at Yue'e, she looks like the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, so that's it
