Chapter 32 Rules? You Have Nothing Better to Do!
The next morning, Qin Liuxi had breakfast in her own courtyard and went out with Chenpi. She had a consultation today.
She went out early, and she didn't know where the old lady was. Everyone waited for her but she didn't come, which made Xie Shi keep complaining to the old lady. It was impossible for a girl to behave without rules in the past, but now that the elders are here, she must be taught to behave properly, otherwise she will be laughed at when she goes out. "
Aunt Wan said: "In this Licheng, if she doesn't tell her identity when she goes out, who will know that she is a girl from the Qin family."
Xie Shi's face darkened: "Aunt Wan, mother and sister-in-law are not talking, how can you interrupt? Sister-in-law has spoiled you, and you have no rules. ”
She looked down on Gu’s mild temper, and also looked down on her eldest sister-in-law’s pretense of being virtuous, treating the aunt and other things like her own sister, which was too hypocritical.
Wang said indifferently: “Second brother’s wife is worried about the rules and education of our Qin family, but I am worried about the expenses of this family. Mother, we are living off the mountain, and even if we save the money on hand, I am afraid it will be gone next year. We don’t collect any interest, and even the sacrificial fields have been sealed. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, with panic on their faces.
Wang was afraid that they didn’t know how difficult life was, so she continued: “Let’s not talk about the money that father and others need to pay for, at home, the boys have to go to school, and there are expenses everywhere. Let’s not talk about the distant things. Now it is gradually entering autumn, and we have to buy winter clothes, and there is also charcoal to be used after winter... I am afraid we will have a cold winter this year. "
Rules? You're full and bored, so you still want to act like a big shot!
Everyone's face turned pale.
The charcoal used in winter costs a lot of money, especially the best silver frost charcoal, which is even more expensive. Even if this big family sleeps in a crowded place, it will take a lot of charcoal in a winter.
So what's burned here is silver, and without silver, wouldn't it be a cold winter?
At this moment, who still wants the rules? Everyone has to think about whether they can survive the winter!
Old Mrs. Qin has not recovered from her illness yet, and she is also trying to stay together with everyone. After hearing what Wang said, she glared at Xie first, and then said: "Silver money is urgent. Fortunately, everyone knows needlework. So, Wang, you ask someone to buy some embroidery thread and satin, and everyone can embroider some handkerchiefs and purses when they have free time and send them to the embroidery shop for consignment."
Everyone looked panicked. Has it really come to this?
"Mother, I want to go out and find a job for myself. "Qin Mei Niang suddenly spoke.
Old Lady Qin was stunned.
Wang also looked over.
Qin Mei Niang lowered her head. It was not that she was selfish and did not want to contribute. She was divorced and brought back with two daughters. Her situation was the most embarrassing and hopeless. She had to make plans for the three of them. After all, in a few years, the daughters would have to get married. Without dowries, how could her family look down on her?
She did not want to show up in public, but for the sake of her daughters, she had to do it.
Sisters Song Yuyan and Song Yuqing lowered their heads and sobbed softly.
"Mei Niang, you are also a daughter of the Qin family. There will always be food for you three, mother and daughter, and you can rest assured." Old Lady Qin suppressed her grief and said, "Even in the future, the Qin family will always find a way to get Yuyan and the others' dowries. ”
This is a promise that when the two get married, the Qin family will give the dowry.
Mrs. Xie's face changed several times and she wanted to open her mouth, but the old lady looked at her with sharp eyes, so she could not help but keep silent.
Mrs. Wang also said: "Let's have breakfast first, this matter is not urgent."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks, but just looked at the white porridge, steamed buns and pickles on the table, and thought about the future, they couldn't eat.
There is an experience that must be believed in: when I said I would not go out to buy food and things, less than an hour later, I rode my electric bike out at lightning speed, and then, the tire was punctured and flat, and it was bumpy. Later, I pushed the bike to fix the tire!!!
It's a pretense to go when you said you wouldn't go. Do you think sometimes you should believe in superstition?
