Chapter 158 Take a piece of the pie

Ms. Liu didn't look like it, and she was also afraid that Xia Dalang would think that he had abused his daughter-in-law. If he separated from her again, there would be no place for her in the family...

So I found a tooth shop again and bought a woman who could cook the stove.

Because Mrs. Liu was hired last time, and her son had an accident, so she was thinking about home all day long and was absent-minded about her work. Mrs. Liu fired her, feeling that she had suffered enough from the hired labor.

I might as well buy one this time, it will save me more trouble than hiring one.

The woman who bought it was surnamed Fei, and she was about forty years old. She was actually younger than Mr. Liu, but with the wrinkles on her face, she looked older than Ms. Zhou.

Mrs. Fei has been doing the kitchen work. She used to be a hired worker who signed a contract every five years. She moved around in different families and had a good reputation.

But later, something happened to the family and they needed a lot of money urgently. After selling the land, they were still short of money, so they had to sign a death deed with the tooth bank.

All of the above were told by the dentist at the dental shop to Mr. Liu.

However, Mrs. Liu had dealt with this Yaman several times before and knew that his reputation was pretty good, so she bought Mrs. Fei.

The two argued for a long time about Mrs. Fei's worth, and finally settled the deal for fifteen taels of silver.

This amount, judging from the mother-in-law on the stove, is quite cheap.

Mrs. Liu took Granny Fei back home with a bit of suspicion and a bit of secret joy that she had taken advantage.

Mrs. Fei got on the stove and cooked a few vegetables. Her cooking skills were indeed pretty good.

The whole family of the Xia family seemed to have suddenly come to life. Is this how people live their lives eating such food? Even Xia Youcai, who at first felt that Mrs. Liu was spending too much money, couldn't bear it.

I think the money is well spent.

Mrs. Liu kept her thoughts in mind and secretly observed Mrs. Fei for a while.

Seeing that her hands and feet were clean, she worked neatly, and she was proactive in doing things. She didn't need any help from her master, and I became more and more puzzled: Why is the price of this fee so much cheaper than others?

Mrs. Fei's prices are cheap, of course not without reason.

It’s just that the dental shop will never disclose this flaw to the buyer.

Mrs. Fei has a son who is a bad gambler.

Mrs. Fei worked as a kitchen lady in many houses. The owner saw that she was meticulous in her work and saved materials. Sometimes, there were few people, or out of trust, she would also be asked to take on the role of purchasing.

Mrs. Fei actually gained a lot of benefits by withholding materials and collecting kickbacks.

With these private benefits, coupled with her good craftsmanship and frugal life, she saved a lot of money and bought many fields.

It's just that Mrs. Fei's man was a lazy man, so he passed away too early.

Mrs. Fei went out to work all year round and could not take care of her family. Her only son was so pampered by her husband's family that he wanted the stars but not the moon.

The family had some money, and when it was revealed, they were targeted by the idle kids in the county. They teamed up with people from the casino to set up a trap, and they colluded with Mrs. Fei's son.

Mrs. Fei's son became a bad gambler. At first, he only used his own money to gamble.

Later, it gradually progressed to selling land, but he did not have access to the land deeds at home, so what he sold was only in his own name and the names of his grandparents.

Later, Mrs. Fei's son owed a large gambling debt.

People from the casino detained Granny Fei's son and came to demand debts. Granny Fei was hit by this and suddenly aged twenty years. But her only son had to be saved...

The most important thing is that Mrs. Fei has been working outside, and she always feels that she has not grown up with her son, and she feels guilty for her son.

Mrs. Fei cried a lot, then sold all her family's land, sold herself, and redeemed her son.

Mrs. Fei didn't say anything to her son, but said to the people in the casino:

"Our family can no longer extract any profit or water.

Please let him go!

If he comes to the casino again, you'd better kick him out directly, or at least don't lend him any more money.

Otherwise, no one will be able to redeem him.

Your money will be wasted."

After Mrs. Fei finished speaking, she said to her son:

"If you go gambling again, just die in the casino. Anyway, your mother has no ability to come to save you. Your family fortune has been ruined by you. You can take care of yourself."

After that, Mrs. Fei resold several houses, and her son miraculously came to ask for money. Every time Mrs. Fei's son made a fuss, the buyer would angrily send Mrs. Fei back to the dental shop.

Ya Xing was worried about this matter for a long time, and he really wanted to sell Mrs. Fei to the salt farm. Unfortunately, there were plenty of slaves in the salt farm, so he couldn't go to Ya Xing to buy someone.

This time, catching up with Liu's buyer, Yahang hurriedly got rid of Mrs. Fei's trouble, and sold it to Liu for only fifteen taels of silver.

It was just an agreement that no matter whether Liu used it smoothly or not in the future, he could not back out.

Mrs. Liu only observed Granny Fei, so naturally she couldn't see anything wrong with her.

After a period of time, Ms. Liu also gave up her thoughts on Mrs. Fei.

Gradually, she was also willing to let Mrs. Fei go and buy some things for the kitchen.

Mrs. Fei is quite capable in this regard. The things she buys are cheap and fresh. Her cooking is delicious and she saves on materials. The most important thing is that she changes her recipes every day and her hands and feet are very nimble.

The more Liu looked at it, the more she felt that her money was well spent.

However, there was also some money that Ms. Liu felt was not worth spending.

As Xia Youcai's health improved day by day, but the medicinal materials he used were always so expensive, and occasionally the price would increase by a few cents, Ms. Liu felt very resentful.

This complaint was not directed at Xia Youcai, but at the doctor in Puji Hall who dared to prescribe the most expensive medicine.

But in order to prevent Xia Youcai from misunderstanding, Mrs. Liu had resentment in her heart but did not dare to speak out.

Moreover, because there has been no income for a long time, the family's expenses have not been reduced much. Xia Youcai has to continue to treat diseases, acupuncture, and take medicine. Liu's private money is almost unsustainable.

Mrs. Liu was naturally unwilling to give up, so she thought of getting some extra money from the old couple.

She brought Jinhua back to her old house, nominally to take Jinhua to relax, but in fact she wanted to persuade the old couple to help the elder family more.

It was only on this trip back to the village that Ms. Liu discovered the changes in her family.

After the fourth family broke off their relationship with the first family, they actually bought land from the village and built a new house from Li Zheng!

After learning the news, Ms. Liu began to regret her original impulse.

Although the new house is built next to Nanhu Lake, even if the land is not valuable, the new house itself still requires a lot of money. Since the fourth house dares to do this, it means that they are still making money!

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu asked around.

Mrs. Sun could see Mrs. Liu's thoughts, but she didn't mind telling Mrs. Liu the details - anyway, the more sour Mrs. Liu's face was, the more comfortable Mrs. Sun felt.

As a result, Sifang's booming business once again attracted Mr. Liu's attention.

Ms. Liu pondered for a long time, then hurried back to her room to discuss with Jinhua, and finally made up her mind. Dafang must get a share of the fourth-fang's business!

Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
