Chapter 426: Turns out he is a poor man
Chapter 426 Turns out to be a poor man
Mrs. Ni already despised the Gu Dafu family in her heart, and it inevitably showed on her face. Her respect was gone, and she was left with only perfunctory expressions. She glanced at the gift in her hand and wished she could put away the precious books, white paper, cloth, and Huadiao wine. Take out the class.
A poor family is not worthy of such a generous gift from Wanjia.
Mrs. Chen came up with a smile on her face and said to Wanli Fang: "Brother Fang is here. He's here now. Why do you bring such a big gift? Don't stand around. Come in and sit down."
Mrs. Ni was disdainful. Wanli Fang saw that Gu Dafu's family lived in a poor condition and the look on his face was a little bad. However, he still showed some respect and bowed to Mrs. Chen: "Second Aunt, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Brother Fang." I sent some small gifts to my family, I hope my second aunt wont dislike them.
He turned back to Millet and Mrs. Ni who were holding the boxing gift and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and give the boxing gift to the second aunt."
"Yes." Maozi handed the festival gift in his hand to Chen, pointed to a wine jar and said, "This is Huadiao wine from Fucheng. My young master specially brought it to his in-laws."
"Hey, Huadiao wine, this is a good thing. I've never heard of it in the northwest." Mrs. Chen took the basket handed over by Mizi with a smile, and looked at the gifts inside, becoming more and more satisfied.
Mrs. Ni looked at Mrs. Chen staring at Jie Li and said in a neutral tone: "This Huadiao wine is a good thing only found in Jianghuai and Jiangnan. Poor places like the northwest and northeast cannot drink it even if they want to. "
After saying that, he put the congratulatory gifts on the table and retreated behind Wanli Fang.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Mrs. Chen knew that Mrs. Ni looked at the shabby house at home and had contempt for her family. Hearing this, she raised the corners of her eyes, looked at Mrs. Ni, and asked Wan Lifang with a smile: "Brother Fang, who is this eldest sister? Judging from his tone, he is probably a relative of yours."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ni hated Mrs. Chen in her heart. This person who fled from famine was indeed not a good person. If she asked this question, wouldn't she be embarrassing her young master?
Ms. Chen put her hands on her hips and looked at the back of Mrs. Ni as she hurried away. She sighed and said, "Who is a slave? You still dare to look down on my family. When you see the Lu family mansion, will you still dare to be arrogant?"
After saying that, he turned around and came to the table, flipping through the etiquette brought by Wanjia.
Gu Yumei had been hiding in her room. After learning that Wan Lifang was taking her servants to pick up her father, she came out of the room and saw the boxing gifts sent by Wanjia. She proudly said to Chen, "Sends by Wanjia." There are so many gifts for you, and I also gave you books and blank paper, so you really come from a scholarly family."
If it were the Yuan family, if I could give him books or blank paper, I would at most give her a piece of fat meat.
Mrs. Chen was happy at first when she saw the festive gifts from the Wan family, but after she was happy, she became worried: "The festive gifts from the Wan family are generous, so our family has to repay generous gifts, but now our family is borrowing money to live." , where can I find the money to buy generous gifts?"
Ms. Chen pointed at Gu Yumei's forehead and cursed: "It's all your fault, you **** girl. I made all the money in the house because of you. Ouch, my heart hurts when I think about that money."
Gu Yumei didn't care: "Just borrow money. It's not like our family can't afford to pay it back. We can just wait until the dividends are distributed at the end of the month and pay back the money."
"Ah, you said it lightly. After the money is paid back, I will buy you a dowry and buy wedding wine, one by one, so you don't have to pay for it?"
Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Yumei's wealthy appearance and wanted to beat her up: "Why are you and I pretending to be rich ladies? The dividends from the workshop and shop are not your family's, my family also has a share. You have no choice but to take my mother's share." The dividends are gone, but your father said that all the dividends for the next three months will belong to my family, which is considered as compensation for my family, and your family will have to live a hard life for a few more months."
Gu Dafu felt that his family had dragged down Gu Dagui's family, so he told Gu Dagui that after receiving the dividends at the end of August, all dividends for the next three months would be given to Gu Dagui's family, which would make up for the previous losses of Gu Dagui's family.
Gu Yumei didn't know about this, and she exploded when she heard this: "What did you say? My father said that he would give three months' dividends to your family? Why? This is not fair!"
Mrs. Chen said angrily: "Bah, why is it unfair? You did it yourself, why should my family be fined along with yours? If it weren't for the fear that you would not be able to find your husband's family because of your reputation as a widowed eldest daughter, what if it wasn't Considering how kind my sister-in-law is to me, I have long since stopped caring about you."
Mr. Chen and Gu Yumei's voices were quite loud. Mrs. Ni's man did not follow them to the new workshop to pick them up. Instead, he watched the mule cart outside the courtyard gate and roughly heard what they were saying about their quarrel.
