In the Days of Being a Maid In Ancient Times

Chapter 13: Zhou Wen wants money

The old lady took her son and asked her to sit next to her, "Boss, go to the one next to you, and let the fourth sit here." After the old lady finished speaking, her sister-in-law's face darkened.

Zhou Wen saw that the sister-in-law looked bad and quickly shied away: "Mother, let eldest brother sit here, it's the same wherever I sit."

At this time, Big Brother Zhou had already got up to give himself a good seat, "Mother, I will let you sit down. It's been a long time since I came back. Mother misses you too." Zhou Wen saw that Big Brother gave himself a good seat, so he didn't give up any more.

"Father, mother, isn't this the autumn harvest? The academy gave us a holiday, let us go home and help. Look, you two are tired and thin, and you blame your son for being unfilial." He bowed and sat down. This Zhou Wen is also good-looking, gentle, and bookish.

Zhou Wen: "Mother, is there any wine at home? Here, I want to have a drink with my father and my brother. During the time I'm not at home, my brother and sister-in-law will serve you. I haven't fulfilled my obligation. I must respect my brother and sister-in-law. a cup."

Yang Yu thought to himself: Look at how well people say this.

Zhou Wen sat there and looked around before asking, "Brother Third, what's the matter with you? I'm a little unhappy looking at you! What about Sister-in-law? Did you quarrel with Sister-in-law?"

The old lady took the wine and handed it to Zhou Wen: "That prodigal woman wants to be lazy and work hard today. I taught her a lesson, and she dared to fight back and pushed me on the table, my waist twisted."

Zhou Wen said anxiously: "Mother, are you alright! Do you want to ask Uncle Wang to show you."

The old lady waved her hand indifferently, "It's no big deal, just rest for a few days." Then she said proudly, "Your third sister-in-law was beaten away by your third brother and went back to her parents' house."

Zhou Wen poured wine for the second old man, and then poured it on his brother and sister-in-law in turn, "Third brother, it's not me who said that it is really wrong for this sister-in-law to dare to do something with her mother, third brother, don't be depressed, my brother will accompany you to drink one." Take a sip.

The third child picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then lowered his head and said nothing. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The old lady: "Thirdest, who do you want to show to? If you run away, run away. It's better if you don't come back. Mother will find you a better one."

"Mother, I don't want anyone else, Cuihua is pretty good, besides we have two sons!" The third child objected in a sullen voice.

The old lady stared at Zhou Laosan, wishing to stare him out of a hole.

"Mother, eat a chicken drumstick to relieve your anger. The third brother and the third sister-in-law must have feelings after so many years." Zhou Wen gave Old Man Zhou another drumstick, "Dad, you can eat it too."

The old man Zhou looked at the chicken legs in front of him, then glanced at the old lady Zhou again, and then began to speak: "Okay, the whole family is here, let's have a meal together, what else is going on, the children are hungry, hurry up and eat Let's go!" After speaking, he started to move his chopsticks and took a bite of the chicken thigh.

Zhou Li, the eldest son of the third family, saw that his grandfather had eaten it, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the chicken, but was beaten down by the old lady with chopsticks: "You are greedy, just like your mother." Zhou Li rubbed the beaten hands, grinning at the old lady.

The old lady took the bowl and began to divide the chicken. She gave the liver of the chicken to Old Man Zhou, and the good meat to Zhou Wen and Jin Feng. Finally, it was Yang Yu's turn. There were only two pieces of chicken left, and they were all bones. Yang Yu took it and gave Ozawa Xiaorui a piece, took the chicken soup for Xixi to eat, and ate a little green vegetables himself.

After eating, the sky was already dark, Yang Yu looked up at the sky, it was so beautiful! The stars in the sky can clearly distinguish the Big Dipper.

"Mother, what are you looking at?" Xixi also imitated Yang Yu's appearance, raising her head to look up at the sky.

"Look at the stars! Do you look at the stars?" Xixi nodded, "It's beautiful."

Here, Zhou Wen saw that everyone had left after eating, so he followed the old man back to the house. "Father, mother, I actually have one important thing to tell you when I come back this time. My teacher said that he wants me to take the test next year, saying that I have a good chance of passing the exam."

The old lady hurriedly asked, "Is it a move to be a candidate for the exam? Oh, then I'm a motherfucker. Did you hear that, old man?" After that, she went to pat the old man Zhou.

The old man Zhou showed a rare smile on his wrinkled face, holding the cigarette stick and saying ok. "Father, mother, don't be in a hurry to be happy. The master just said that he was sure, but he didn't say that he would definitely pass the test. But he also said that he has a way to make me pass the test in one go."

Old Man Zhou: "You can still be admitted directly. Is this going to happen? If you do, you can thank him."

Zhou Wen: "It's all right, but I need some money to move around."

Old Man Zhou took a cigarette and asked, "How much does it cost? We just bought food today and we have about 10 taels of silver in our hands. I'll give you 8 taels, and we'll keep 20 taels of silver for the New Year."

When Zhou Wen heard that he only had eight taels of silver, he said impatiently, "Where can I get eight taels, you can give me all ten taels! This way the chances are higher."

Old Man Zhou: "Old lady, go and bring him the money."

"Ten taels of silver will be given, then how will we live in the future?" Mrs. Zhou was a little reluctant.

The old man Zhou knocked on the leg of the stool with a cigarette stick, "Isn't there still food? When it's empty, let the old and the second family find some wild vegetables to deal with, and when the fourth is admitted to the juren, do you want to eat it? Nothing."

The old lady handed the silver to Zhou Wen: "I spent all the 20 taels last time, so there's nothing left?"

"That little money is enough to spend, buy some books, and make me some clothes. I'll be gone. I'm too sleepy. I'm going back to bed. Mom and Dad, you all go to bed earlier. I'll leave early tomorrow. I'm afraid that What happened?" After saying that, he left without looking back with the silver in his hand.

Lying on the bed, the old lady was so excited that she couldn't sleep, "If the fourth child becomes a juren, then I will be the juren's mother, and I will be able to live in a big house, and there will be maids to serve... the old man."

Hu~hu~huhu~~~~~~

The old lady pushed the old man Zhou and saw that he didn't respond. This dead old man fell asleep so fast.

Early the next morning, Yang Yu woke up and stretched, seeing that the weather was good enough to go out for a walk.

"Sister-in-law, what are you going to eat today?" Then she went to the kitchen to help cook.

When it was time to eat, I found out that Zhou Wen was not there.

Sister-in-law: "Mother! Why didn't Zhou Wen come to eat?"

The old lady gave herself a pocket head: "It is said that there is an activity in the academy and I will go back first."

Yang Yu thought to himself: Didn't you say that the academy is on holiday? It just went away without doing anything.

The work at home is over for the past few days, and there is nothing to do, so Yang Yu is going to go to the mountains to see if he can find any business opportunities. After all, she should also save some money. Apart from the original owner's one or two silver coin, she has no income at all.

The child will be handed over to Mrs. Zhou for help. She can go deeper into the mountains by herself, and it is also convenient to go back and forth. She only dares to go around with her children, and she does not dare to go too deep.

Yang Yu walked very easily along the way, and finally had time to be alone, and his mood became better. When entering the mountain, Yang Yu walked very fast. Afraid that someone will ask her what to do? If you don't want to talk more, you have to leave quickly. The result is that the deeper you go, the better Yang Yu finds a branch for himself and whips him along the way to prevent reptiles from approaching.
