Chapter 157 There must be a hole in the brain!
Mr. Yao really couldn't understand that Old Xu's family was so poor. He was obviously just a poor family with mud legs, and he was not from a wealthy family. Xu Laoer was a country man. To put it bluntly, he was just like an ant.
It seems that if you are disabled, you will be disabled. Old Xu's family not only has one son, Xu Lao's second son, but also has an eldest son who is a scholar. Why do we have to devote all the efforts of the whole family to save him?
Isn't this obvious, making everyone suffer and live a bad life?
There must be something wrong with Xu Youde and Xu Zhang's minds!
However, she could only think about it in her heart and talk to Xu Darong in private, but did not dare to say it in front of the juniors.
Otherwise, if the children are young and cannot hide their words, it will be a serious problem.
Xu Chengfeng couldn't bear to part with the new clothes. He raised his nose and said, "Mom, it's all your fault. Why do you say that the material of this dress is worth so much? You just said that it was just a tael of silver to buy it? And this is obviously yours.
I don’t want to pick up the new clothes made for me. I don’t want any of your ladies’ old clothes. I am the eldest daughter of the Xu family, why should I pick up other people’s old clothes?”
Yao poked her finger, "I told you before you came here, don't bring this, don't wear this, you have to show off, what kind of material is this, how much is it worth, can I make it up?"
This kind of shiny satin material, this kind of color, you think it’s your breast, your old lady and the others don’t have a mouth to go out and ask? Maybe this kind of material is sold in the town, you can’t deceive it.
It can only be said that it was a gift from someone, and it was indeed a gift from someone. It was a gift from your father's family. We couldn't afford it originally, but to put it another way, your grandma feels better. You want to say it is
I guess your first thought about the fabric I gave you was, why don’t you take it back and make clothes for your old aunt? This unfilial piety has been placed on your father again, making it difficult for your father to be a good person..."
"Mom, wuwuwuwu, I've told you many times, I just don't like the countryside. I don't like going back to the countryside. My father is a scholar, an official, a tutor, and a learned man. That's what I am.
What kind of behavior would it be for a young lady from a scholarly family to often go to the countryside? Those matchmakers would never tell me the right family background for someone to marry me. Especially I hate them calling me Da Ya! If outsiders find out, I still have
My nickname is Daya, and my best friends are afraid they will make me laugh to death..." Xu Chengfeng's pretty little face was filled with tears of grievance.
Yao looked at this innocent daughter and sighed, "When can you learn from your brother? Your brother will make your father happy. Your brother is better than others in life, work, and in looking at others."
More than a hundred times, it is your mother who raised you to be too squeamish, too simple, and unaware of the hardships and dangers of the world. You can't stand it when someone calls you "Da Ya"? Your nickname was originally "Da Ya", just in case in the future,
If someone says something even more unpleasant, wouldn’t you be pissed off to death?”
Xu Chengfeng shed tears when she was taught by Yao.
She is delicate and biting her lips, and her pitiful little appearance is heart-breaking and cute at the same time.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Yao loves her so much. It's because Xu Chengfeng was born so well. Many people from well-to-do families in the county have taken a fancy to her. She is only thirteen this year, and there are matchmakers who keep getting her.
When she came to visit, Yao made a lot of connections easily because of this girl's brilliance.
And Xu Chengfeng is also literate.
Before the age of ten, when Xu Darong worked as a tutor for others, as long as the host family did not object, he would take her with him and teach her by the way.
Therefore, Xu Chengfeng also got to know many ladies of the same age from famous families in the county, and his reputation spread in this way.
"Okay, it's just a new dress. You've worn it for quite a while. Just take it for granted. When we go back, Mom will make another one for you. Next time, I'll make it a different color.
Better looking."
This time, Xu Chengfeng was satisfied.
Reluctantly, he handed the clothes he took off to Yao.
"Also, regarding food, who only eats two meals? It's so late to have lunch, it's so unpalatable, there's no dinner yet, there's nothing for snacks and fruits, you have to do everything by yourself, and your mother has to go there.
Doing it, that’s all our mother’s job..."
"Shh! What did mom tell you? Besides, mom is going to slap you in the mouth!"
Xu Chengfeng rolled his eyes, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Okay, mother, let's tell dad to go home early."
"Why are you so anxious? Your father doesn't take money, and he doesn't pick big bucks. There's no point in staying with our family. After two days, when a letter of urging from the master comes from the county, your father will naturally let us go.
Already."
"Oh fine."
After completing the ideological work, Mrs. Yao took the clothes and went out to hand them over to Mrs. Xu Zhang.
Before leaving the house, I remembered something.
Turning to Xu Chengfeng, he said, "You should be more strict with your mouth. You don't need to teach me anything. Anyway, your family is having a hard time and there is no money. Don't brag about what you eat and drink at home in front of Erya and Sanya. I understand."
What? And you are the eldest sister. You should learn from your brother and try to be like an eldest sister. Even if you just verbally care about your brothers and sisters, you should do it, you know? Also, if you can, ask Erya San.
Ah, how does your old lady make the loquat ointment and loquat dew..."
This was something that Yao had explained to Xu Chengfeng on the way here.
Now I just want to remind you again that this girl is too naive and has a pampered temper that cannot bear to be wronged.
I am always afraid that she will be unreliable and do bad things.
Xu Chengfeng responded, "I know, mother."
***
Luo Shi had just put away half of the dishes when Xiao Liuzi peed his pants and cried uncontrollably.
She took advantage of the situation and carried Xiao Liuzi back to her room, leaving all the rest to Erya, Sanya and the others.
Xu Laosi lay dead on the bed and took a nap.
While Luo Shi was changing Xiao Liuzi's trousers, he whispered, "Head of the family, eldest brother really doesn't have a penny to pay? Didn't you tell them about the difficulties at home before? Is it this difficult for eldest brother and the others? They even rented a carriage.
You can’t afford to rent it, so you’re getting it as stuff?”
Xu Laosi didn't fall asleep at all. Who wouldn't be depressed after eating this meal?
He rushed all the way to the county town to invite his eldest brother and his family, but when he was not at home, there was only a little girl named Xu Chengfeng.
I waited for two days before someone came back.
Seeing his eldest brother and sister-in-law packing their things, he thought they would bring back some money.
Because he stayed at his eldest brother's house for two days and saw food, drinks, supplies, etc., and they didn't look like people living without money.
I know that my eldest brother will be conservative and won’t take too much!
As a result, there was not a penny left.
