Chapter 40 Trivial matters

Since Lu Xiuniang wants to find a long-term job for herself, how can she not quietly test Aunt Ma? Lv Xiuniang is a human spirit. When dealing with Aunt Ma, as long as she makes a little temptation, she can find out that Aunt Ma is actually not a big character.

So Lv Xiuniang really guessed that Aunt Ma was illiterate for a long time, but in order to successfully come to the Ma family to be an embroidery girl, she did not expose Aunt Ma on the spot. At this time, she did not panic to block the words that made Aunt Ma speechless...

"Yo, Mrs. Ma, what you said is really wrong! I have never known you before, and I have never met you before. How can I know whether you are illiterate or not when I live in the city all day long? Besides, when we made the deed, I asked you what you could read. It was you who patted your chest and said you knew..."

"Since Mrs. Ma said you know it, I didn't ask a notary to verify the contents of the deed. I thought it would be fine as long as you read it and felt that there was no problem. Mrs. Ma said it herself. Why are you blame me now?"

Lv Xiuniang's words made Aunt Ma shrink her neck on the spot and could no longer say any rebuttals. It turned out that Aunt Ma not only liked to brag, but also loved face. When she first went to the city to pick an embroidered woman for Ma Siniang, she was afraid that the embroidered woman invited by the city would look down on them as rural riches, so she deliberately showed off when she picked it. Fan.

And Lv Xiuniang is an embroidered girl who is willing to go back to the village with Aunt Ma. When dealing with her, she has to show off her face and grow her Ma family.

So when Lv Xiuniang respectfully asked the second aunt Ma, "This Ma family is the richest man in Xiaoqi Village. Presumably, Mrs. Ma must be different from other village women, but she can read a few words like the wife of a scholarly family, right?" This second aunt Ma answered "I know" without thinking about it for the sake of face. .

This "knowledge" did make Second Aunt Ma face in front of Lv Xiu Niang, but it also made her confused set up a deed with Lv Xiu Niang. At present, she has suffered a dumb loss because of the paper deed... Who made Aunt Ma love face and show off?

Lv Xiuniang has a deed in her hand, and Ma's second aunt has to lose money if she wants to drive people away. Aunt Ma is naturally unwilling to do this loss of money, so Ma's second aunt shut up on the spot and no longer mention the matter of driving Lv Xiuniang away, and she is also worried that Lv Xiuniang will not teach Ma Si's daughter Hong in the future.

So in order to spend the expensive monthly money in vain, Aunt Ma had to have the cheek to invite Lv Xiuniang back again, and continue to serve Lv Xiuniang with good food as before, and abruptly swallowed the tone that was regarded as a joke by others.

Aunt Ma endured her anger and compromised, which made the whole village laugh at her again. Until now, people often use this matter as a joke after tea and dinner. It is precisely because of this matter that Liu Shi told it to the fish today.

And Li Erniu, the hardcore friend of the fish, was crazy some days, and neglected to practice the female red and other activities, so she was tightly detained by her family these days. Therefore, what happened after Aunt Ma invited Lv Xiuniang back to Ma's house. Li Erniu couldn't find out and couldn't gossip to the fish. The fish didn't like to go out very much. After listening to Liu's words, I knew that there was such a gossip.

However, these gossips were forgotten by others, but after listening to them, Yuer took more attention and pulled Liu and asked, "Mom, although Aunt Ma didn't want to, she still left Lv Xiuniang in the Ma family?"

Liu replied with a smile, "That's right! Aunt Ma can't do this losing business. If you want to drive Lv Xiuniang away, you have to lose a lot of money. Aunt Ma won't do such a thing!"

The fish was also aroused by Liu's curiosity, so she couldn't help gossiping and asked, "How does Aunt Ma prevent Lv Xiuniang now?" You can't lock her up, can you?"

I heard that Aunt Ma specially asked someone to follow Lv Xiuniang, and she followed her every step when she ate and slept. Even Lv Xiuniang went to the hut and the person sent by Ma had to guard at the door! At present, Aunt Ma is carefully guarding against Lv Xiuniang for fear that she will steal a half of the Ma family's needle. I don't know if I can't get any benefits in the Ma family. Can Lv Xiuniang continue to work..."

"Mother guesses that Lv Xiuniang is followed by Aunt Ma's second aunt every day and is stared at, and she can't get any benefits. She will definitely be annoyed soon. Maybe she will take the initiative to leave. As soon as Lv Xiuniang left, it is uncertain whether Aunt Ma can invite Xiu Niang again. If this Xiu Niang can't invite Ma Si Niang, Ma Si Niang's redness may not be able to learn well.

It turned out that Liu had previously said that Ma Siniang's female red would not necessarily learn well, but she felt that Lv Xiuniang would stay in the Ma family for a short time, but Yuer did not agree with Liu's speculation at all. Instead, she thought that even if the Second Aunt Ma did not provide Lv Xiuniang as deliciously as before, Lv Xiuniang would never take the initiative to leave Ma. Home, after all, it's good for Lv Xiuniang to find her patron now. How dare she to follow the things of the master's house as before?

Yuer guessed that Lv Xiuniang took so much time to sign a five-year long contract with Aunt Ma. Unless she can find a better place, she will never foolishly offer to terminate the contract. However, judging from Lv Xiuniang's current reputation, it is unlikely to find a better place...

Such a conclusion made Yuer secretly feel happy. At the same time, she began to fight Xiao Jiujiu, thinking about how to "learn" and learn some embroidery skills in the Ma family. If Yuer wants to learn in Ma's family, she must first have a good relationship with Ma Siniang. Yuer is confident that she will not be able to work hard for a few years old. So the next day, he took a small dustpan with needle and thread cloth and went to Li Erniu's house, intending to pull Li Erniu as her helper.

As soon as the fish got on Li Erniu's boat, she saw Li coming from the stern with a basin of washed clothes. The fish quickly greeted Li and greeted Li sweetly: "Aunuch Li just came back from washing clothes by the stream, right? Let the fish hang it for you."

Li waved his hand with a smile and said, "At least it's just a guest. It's just a few clothes. How can Ba Niang let you dry it for me? Your aunt, I can hang it by myself. You are really sensible and sweet-mouthed. If my second girl can be as sensible as Ba Niang, I can have less trouble.

Although Li euphemistically refused the fish's kindness, the fish still put down the dustpan and helped her hang the clothes on the bamboo pole set up on the side of the bed. While drying, she said sweetly, "The second girl is also very sensible! Every time I go to my house, I rush to help my mother work. My mother said that she is more diligent than me! Don't I want the second girl to compare me, so I rushed to help Aunt Li hang your clothes? Aunt Li, please praise me more. I'll go back and talk to my mother so that she can know that I am also a diligent child..."

Fish's words made Li grin and said anly: "You ghost girl's mouth are so sweet. You can still say that you have benefited from helping me work! At this point, you are much better than my second girl! My second girl knows how to talk back to me every day!"

After saying this, Li asked, "Ba Niang is here to play with the second girl, right?"

The fish quickly explained his intention: "Well, these days, the sun has been so hot that the boat is too hot, so I want to ask the second girl to do needlework under the old locust tree at the head of the village. It's much cooler to work there than on the boat."

"That's right, it's strange that the white sun is not hot on this ship! It's really cool to have a wind outlet at the head of the village," Li said as she agreed with the fish, shaking her wet clothes, and then put her clothes on the bamboo pole. After putting them on, she continued, "I asked the second girl to go to the field to deliver food to his father. It has been there for a while, and I think she will be back soon."

As soon as Li's voice fell, Li Erniu's voice came from far away on the shore: "Is the fish coming? Wait for me for a moment, and I'll go up right away!"

After saying that, Li Erniu hurriedly supported the bamboo raft and sailed to the boat. As soon as she got under the boat, she couldn't wait to climb up, threw the basket of rice, and took the fish's arm and said, "You little conscienceless. I have been locked up by my mother for several days, and I don't see you come to see me and talk to me. Resolve your boredom! We haven't been playing together for a few days, and you have forgotten me!"

Li Erniu has loved sticking to fish since she was a child. If she hasn't seen the fish for a day, she can say that she hasn't seen her for a year. Her enthusiasm often makes the fish feel helpless. At present, Li Erniu's brainless accusations make the fish laugh and cry. Fortunately, Li is a reasonable person and speaks for the fish. A fair sentence: "You two play together when you are young. How can you split up after you don't see each other for a few days?"

"I also saw you running out and thought you were playing too wildly, so I didn't bother you when I finally closed you for a few days, so as not to make you unable to sit still!"

Hearing this relief, Yuer quickly smiled and said, "Aunuch Li is right. I'm also thinking about the second girl that you have been forced to play recently. If I come to play with you early in the morning, wouldn't Aunt Li's painstaking efforts be in vain?"

Yu'er saw Li's words and nodded repeatedly, while Li Erniu pouted dissatisfiedly and added before Li Erniu was sore: "But I didn't dare to forget you, Erni. Didn't I come to look for you? Do you want to go to the village to enjoy the cool and do needlework?"

"Go to the village to do needlework?" Yuer's words made Li Erniu's eyes suddenly light up, but soon her eyes darkened again and complained with her flat mouth, "My mother hasn't lifted my ban yet. How can she agree to let me go to the village? She is afraid that I will go crazy again as soon as I go."

Hearing this, Li stretched out her finger and poked Li Erniu's forehead and scolded, "Since she knows that she is crazy, why doesn't she know how to restrain and restrain herself? Look how good she is. I heard that recently, she not only learns needlework from her mother every day, but also knows how to earn money to support her family. She does so much every day, but she also takes time to learn to read from her brothers! It's not like you know how to play every day!"

Li Erniu was not angry when she saw her mother praising the fish, but took Li's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, since the fish is so good in your heart, you should be relieved that I will follow her to the village to do needlework, right? I promise that I will never run around obediently. If there are fish and my mother, you can let go of your heart. Fish is the least favorite to play with those wild children in the village!"

"Ba Niang comes to invite you, and I can rest assured to let you go. Ba Niang will not pull you to fool around quietly..."

Li's words made Li Erniu's words suddenly full of joy. At that moment, she got into her cabin and took out the dustpan loaded with needles and thread. Before Li's words and pulled the fish, she jumped under the boat, as if she was afraid that Aunt Li would change her mind if she took a step later.

However, Li had long thought of a way to treat Li Erniu, and did not stop Li Erniu, who was anxious. Instead, she pulled the fish on the bamboo raft, and then lazily left a sentence: "May you stay in the village until the evening and come back, but you have to give me half of the soles of your shoes this afternoon. If you can't take it out when you come back Half of Xinna's soles, carefully, I will arrest a few more days and half months.

Li's words made Li Erniu stamp her feet angrily and said angrily: "It's only been an afternoon, how can you get half the soles of your shoes!" Mother, you are deliberately embarrassing people!"

Li said again without delay: "I heard from you, Aunt Liu, that Ba Niang can pay a sole in one afternoon. I just let you pay half of it. It's already cheap for you. If you pay it out like Ba Niang, you may still have some spare time to play!"

"Well, you just don't want me to go out and relax for a while." Li Erniu puffed her cheeks and complained.

However, Li didn't like Li Erniu's set. She hung up the rest of her clothes one by one and reminded Li Erniu leisurely, "Remember to take care of the soles of your shoes, otherwise I won't go out even if I arrest you for ten days and a half months."

"Mother!!"

Li Erniu roared angrily at Li Shi. Seeing that Li Shi ignored herself, she had no choice but to hand over the pole of the bamboo raft to the fish. She turned over the needle and thread basket and took advantage of a short time to push the boat to pick out the things to use in the soles of the shoes later.

Li Erniu complained while picking up the fish and supporting the boat: "My mother will think of a way to tosss me, or Aunt Liu. If you don't learn needlework, she won't say anything, let alone keep you at home and don't let you go out, and always let you go to the village more to play with big guys."

Liu will indeed not make the fish so strict, but the problem is that even if Liu let the fish go out, the fish doesn't love it very much. She is a standard otaku herself! And needlework is what the fish asked to learn. Liu is distressed for the fish and asked her not to learn female red so early, but the fish wants to learn and study desperately. At present, she is still trying to find a way to steal a teacher from Ma Siniang...

If Li Erniu knew what Yuer really thought, would she not be angry and spit blood?

However, Yuer thought that the girl's family should learn more on the female red and would not suffer losses in the future, so she persuaded Li Erniu with kind words: "Aunuch Li is also for you. You can listen to her and learn these skills obediently. If you learn it well, are you afraid that she won't let you go out to play?"

Li Erniu is * playful and can't sit still like a boy, so as soon as she heard the fish's words, she curled her lips and said, "It's not that you don't know that I haven't been able to sit down since I was a child. When I was a child, I didn't climb a tree to dig out a bird's nest for a day or go down the river to catch fish for a day, and I felt uncomfortable! At present, you have studied needlework for so many years, and you haven't done well before you learned it late!"

"I told you earlier that I didn't learn this material, but my mother forced me to learn, and I would rather she let me help with other housework! Hey, I heard that every family's little wife has to learn this work before getting married. I'm really worried! Let me learn this, I'd rather not get married!"

"Well, don't complain. You just said, whose little wife doesn't learn these things, how can't you learn them well? I still say that. If you master these skills earlier, your mother will let you go out to play earlier.

The fish comforted Li Erniu with a smile, and the two had gone to the village in parallel. In the distance, the fish saw a circle of people surrounded by the huge old locust tree - an older daughter-in-law sitting together, chatting and doing all kinds of needlework while chatting at home; there was a younger sister-in-law My mother gathered together and chattered about all kinds of new things. Of course, she was naturally busy with all kinds of work, work and gossip;

There is also a group of half-year-old girls about the same age as fish sitting in a corner, some playing with stones together, and some jumping on the grid on the ground. Of course, there are also some quiet little women watching others play and doing some handwork.

As the saying goes, "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes". The girls in this small village are also "partial". Whoever plays well with them will form a group, and whoever is not good with them will exclude her.

At present, there are three groups of people scattered in that corner. One of the three groups is the largest group, mostly the children of fishermen living on the boat, most of whom are playful children like Li Erniu, and Li Erniu usually has the best relationship with this group of people.

There are not many other groups of people, but they are all children from those who have houses in the village. Children like Yuer and Li Erniu sometimes don't want to play with them and have a sense of class at a young age.

There are not many people left, only five or six, of which two or three are the children of relatively rich families in the village, and the remaining few are the children who like to belied by the most in the village and love to follow these children from rich families.

The fish glanced at the three groups of people. Because they were swept away with purpose, the fish saw Ma Siniang sitting among the group of people with an embroidered shed. Next to her was also a woman who was not dressed like a local. The woman made the fish's eyes quietly flash a trace of joy. .
