Allure of a Country Maiden

"If there are twelve months in a year...that's twenty-five taels, five hundred and fifty cents."

Halfway through Xiaoer's words, Mrs. Tan laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight! Many people also laughed.

Aunt Wang was dizzy because of how many articles Xiaoer wrote in a day, in a month, and in a year! It took a while to react.

"You get more than twenty taels of silver a year, don't you go and rob it! This road was built by your family for free for the people in the village! It belongs to the people in the village, why do you charge my family the toll!"

"This road was built by our family! It belongs to our family, but you said this! How come you are now a member of the village?" Xiaoer asked in surprise.

"Your family built it for the whole village. This road belongs to the whole village. Everyone in the village has contributed!"

"Aunt Wang said that people from the village are from the village! Then this road does not belong to my family. Even if your grandson breaks his head, don't ask for money from my family! You have to ask the people in the village for this money. Look at the village Are you willing to give it to me?" After Xiaoer said this, she turned around and asked the villagers who were watching.

"Uncles and aunts, should I pay this money to Aunt Wang?"

The crowd immediately burst into attacks: "What are you going to pay for? If you fall on the road, you should ask the road builder to pay for it. There is no such absurd reason in this world!"

"Compensate! This is our road. If you knock Goudan's head off, of course you will have to pay for it. Let's all pay for it together. Aunt Wang, please pay the money too! Remember to pay the money when you walk in the future, and the money will be distributed to each household There may not be many on the body, but no matter how few mosquitoes there are, they are still meat.”

"Yes, why don't we take Goudan to Dr. Luo's place quickly? I think Goudan just scratched his skin. Doctor Luo probably won't even charge us for the medicine! Then we don't have to pay for it! Folks , let’s go quickly! Twenty-five taels more per year, and in a few decades each of our families will be able to get more than twenty-five taels. Why don’t you do such a lucrative thing?”

Aunt Wang was so frightened by the attack from the villagers that she almost peed her pants, so she quickly picked up Goudan and ran away.

"My dog ​​Dan has nothing wrong with him, so there's no need to apologize!" After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

The villagers made a sound and dispersed. Those who had previously thought about extorting some money also gave up. More than twenty taels per year? sky! You don’t even earn that much! Where is the compensation enough!

Several people returned to the backyard of Xiaoer's house, and Mrs. Lu also followed.

"Xiao'er, it turns out that this is your idea. You worried me to death at first, but then you almost laughed me to death! It's more than twenty-five taels a year, oh! You can't think of this method!"

"You have to use this method to deal with this kind of person!"

"I just thought, Xiao'er must have some tricks up her sleeve!" Lu said with a smile. She had seen Xiao'er's power, at least she hadn't suffered a loss yet.

"Xiaoer, you are so amazing! I admire you!" Liu Jingshu came over and took Xiaoer's hand, with stars in her eyes and admiration on her face!

"Sister, is this called treating others with their own medicine!"

"Yes, Hao'er is awesome!" Xiaoer gave Jing Hao an appreciative look.

"Hao'er's knowledge is so good! Zhiwen, Zhiwu, look at Hao'er going to school on the same day as you. He can say such profound things. You are still able to read. I wonder if you will still have the face in the future. Have fun!"

"Hao'er has been studying for a long time before going to school, and Zhiwen and Zhiwu have just started to learn. They can't be compared!" Seeing her nephew being criticized, Mrs. Liu hurriedly opened her mouth to protect her.

"Sister, I realize that you speak very profoundly!"

"Now I study with the children every night." Mrs. Liu said sheepishly.

"If you can't take the imperial examination, why study for it?" Tan's face was filled with emotion.

Don't understand!

"Auntie, a housekeeper also needs knowledge in keeping accounts. You should also learn it. When the family business grows in the future, it will be easier to check the accounts."

After hearing this, Ms. Tan thought about it and felt that it was right. Moreover, she could learn from her children without having to pay any money. That means she had to pay the money of two people, and three people could learn from it and still make money! wrong! She had to get her child's father and Shu'er to learn together! Earn more!

"Grandma, aunt, you can stay at my house for a few more days. My cousin and my brother will go to school tomorrow."

After hearing this, Mrs. Tan hurriedly shook her head, "I can't, mother, stay here, there are a lot of things going on in the shop, I have to help look after it sometimes, and I also have to cook for your uncle and the others."

"I'll stay here for a few days and you'll be busy on your own. Let the kids play here for a few days!"

Mrs. Liu also knew that her mother and sister-in-law were busy, so she did not persuade her again: "You can come back later when you are free. You can eat early later and go back after eating. It gets dark now, so I'm not afraid."

In this era, probably due to traffic conditions, banquets were always eaten at noon. Dinner is usually with people we know each other, and people who are close to home can continue the fun together.

The two of them naturally agreed.

"Fourth brother and sister, you and Jing Jie should come over to eat too. Fourth brother has been busy working on the bicycle and threshing machine these days, so he probably won't go home for dinner."

"I just came here to have some food. I've been feeling sleepy lately and don't want to move much."

"Isn't it because you are suffering from the cold? Go and see Dr. Luo when you have time."

"If you can eat and sleep, you should be fine." Mrs. Lu didn't care. She always lost her appetite every time she got sick. Now her appetite is particularly good, so she must be fine.

The food for dinner was certainly sumptuous. The leftovers from the lunch banquet were distributed among the villagers, but there were still a lot of ingredients left. Manager Xie’s wife had a specialty dish, fried duck with perilla, which Xiaoer’s family loved to eat. It feels very gamey. I specially recommended it to Liu Lin and others. Everyone felt good after eating it.

Mrs. Lu usually loved the special fragrance of perilla, so she took a piece of duck meat to try. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she felt nauseated and nauseated when she smelled the unique fragrance of perilla. She covered her mouth and ran to Vomiting occurred in the toilet.

Xiaoer felt that Mr. Lu was happy.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly followed and helped her carry it.

"Why did you vomit? Did you eat something wrong?"

Lu almost vomited out bile, but now she feels better after vomiting. She shook her head, "No, everyone eats what I eat."

"Isn't Fourth Sister-in-law happy?" Mrs. Liu Lin remembered what she said before. She was always sleepy, didn't want to move, and was able to eat and sleep. These were all signs of happiness!

This was also the case when she was pregnant with Mrs. Liu.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was stunned. Her menstrual period seemed to have been absent for a long time, and she hadn't paid much attention to it recently. Maybe it was really...

But it hasn’t happened in so many years, so it won’t be an error this time.

"Let's go see Dr. Luo and check his pulse and we'll know."

"Doctor Luo must be eating in the front yard. Just go to the front yard to find him later." Doctor Luo now has three meals a day, and at least one meal a day.

One meal was eaten here, "Let's forget it, how embarrassing it would be if it wasn't!"

"What's the matter? Everyone has been there. I'll tell you later that I just vomited and I feel uncomfortable. Just let Dr. Luo take a look."

After taking her pulse, Dr. Luo determined that Mrs. Lu was two months pregnant.

This news made Mrs. Lu so happy that she burst into tears in front of everyone. She couldn't stop crying!
