Chapter 517: Anxiety

"It's a long story."

"Now your nephew from Aunt Liu's family has also come to Ping'an City, and he settled in the rotten nest in the west of the city, where the rent is cheap. Aunt Liu went to give her nephew some rice the other day, and when she was walking around, she met Zhaodi."

"It is said that Zhaodi had sunken eyes and looked like a ghost. When he saw her, he pulled her clothes and knelt down to beg her, saying that she couldn't live anymore, and asked her to take a message to Tieniu to redeem her."

Gu Fei asked curiously: "Whose family was she sold to? Don't they give her food?"

Chen pouted, "It's not a family, it's just a secret door!"

"I heard that they receive many guests every day!"

Chen suddenly realized that she had spoken out of turn. How could she say these things to Xiaofei, a girl, and dirty her ears.

She glanced at Gu Fei, who was chewing happily, and seemed to have not heard anything at all.

Chen was relieved.

Gu Fei asked again, "What did Tie Niu say?"

Chen smiled and approached Gu Fei mysteriously, "Your Aunt Liu didn't tell Tie Niu at all."

Gu Fei nodded, "That's right. If Tie Niu knew, it would be wrong not to redeem his mother. If he redeemed her, I'm afraid Zhao Di would still ask her parents to sell her."

When Zhao Di said that day that she sold her two sisters as a matter of course, Gu Fei knew that Zhao Di was a completely brainwashed brother-supporting demon, and she was afraid that she would never wake up until her death.

Li Chunhua buried her head in her meal. Now her uncle's family brought her brother to Ping'an City. They came with Aunt Liu's two nephews and lived in Mr. Su's yard.

Her parents died halfway during the journey, leaving only a younger brother.

Her aunt was gone. Although her cousin and sister-in-law survived, her nephew was gone too.

When they came the other day, Chen gave them a lot of rice and told Liu Zhuangtou to vacate two rooms in the manor for them to settle down.

However, she saw that her brother didn't even have a complete set of clothes or a pair of shoes, and she couldn't make them in time, so she secretly gave the few taels of silver that Dalang gave her to her brother to buy clothes and shoes.

Now she heard that Chen and Gu Fei seemed to be very dissatisfied with the married daughter Gu's family, and she felt very uneasy.

Chen happened to glance at Li Chunhua at this time. Seeing that Li Chunhua looked uneasy, she hurriedly said, "Chunhua, mother didn't mean anything by saying these things. Don't take it to heart."

"I think your brother is a good person. He has only been here for a few days, but he knows how to go to the city to work for others to earn money."

"I'm not saying that you can't take care of your mother's family, but you are too much for your brother. It's obvious that your brother is not ambitious, but you indulge him blindly. Now he hurts yourself."

Li Chunhua forced a smile, "Mother, I know."

Gu Fei quickly brought up another topic.

After finishing the meal, Gu Fei took her mother back to the house, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

"Now the family is not like before. The servants all get monthly wages, but my brother and sister-in-law don't have any income. If they want to buy something, it's not convenient."

"I think it's better to give everyone in the family a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver from now on, and everyone can use it as they want."

Although Chen is not a stingy person, she is used to being poor after all, and hesitated: "There are so many people in the family, even if each person only has one or two taels of silver, it will cost dozens of taels a year, which is another expense-"

Gu Fei shook her mother's arm, "Mom, it's okay, it's just a few dozen taels of silver, it's nothing."

"In the future, I will give you all the silver earned in the inn, more than a thousand taels a month!"
