Chapter 39 Learn to fight
Wang Yaozu finally lost fifty taels of silver.
He took out almost all the money he had, and even asked the landlord Mrs. Qian to refund most of the rent for this time, and finally managed to scrape together fifty taels of silver.
"Ms. Liu, do you really want so much money? You have emptied all my money, and my mother and I have to live on the streets. We have been married for three years. Why don't you care about our friendship at all?" Wang Yaozu couldn't help but ask.
Liu Xiaoru frowned slightly.
Zhang Yunniang was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, so she hurriedly said to the side: "He also said that he had no money before and coaxed you to sell embroidery to support the family, but can't he still make up so much money now? It can be seen that there is no truth in his mouth."
Liu Xiaoru nodded vigorously, looked at Zhang Yunniang with admiration in her eyes, and said, "Sister, you are right, I will listen to you."
Wang Yaozu became anxious and said: "You listen to outsiders about everything. Do you really think that after you reconcile with me, you can marry a good man again? You might have been betrayed without even knowing it!"
Although Liu Xiaoru only knew Zhang Yuniang, she believed that someone who could raise a child as good as Niu Niu would definitely be a particularly kind person.
She also had an inexplicable trust in Zhang Yunniang, as if the two of them were sisters in the previous life. At this time, she could not tolerate Wang Yaozu slandering Zhang Yunniang, and said: "My sister will not betray me! If you say that again, I will ask for a hundred Two silver coins!”
When Wang Yaozu heard this, he was so angry that his nose almost crooked, but he did not dare to provoke anymore, so he could only reluctantly hand the fifty taels of silver to Liu Xiaoru.
When he was writing the letter of heli, he originally wanted to play some tricks, but Gu Mingda was watching from the side, so he could only reluctantly write in the letter of heli: "The relationship is not in harmony, everyone has resentment, and the two have different minds. It’s hard to get one idea.”
The revised book of Heli stated that the reason for Heli was that the couple was not destined to be together, instead of the unfilial mother-in-law that Wang Yaozu originally wanted to write about.
After signing the book with Li, Liu Xiaoru finally settled down. At least she didn't have to worry about her life.
Wang Yaozu took Mrs. Wang and was forced to leave the house with their luggage on their backs. Before leaving, he did not forget to speak harshly to Liu Xiaoru, saying: "I want to see if you, a spent flower and a willow, can find a good husband if you remarry!"
Liu Xiaoru said directly: "Don't worry, no matter how blind I am when I get married for the second time, I will never find a mother and son to sleep with me!"
Wang Yaozu was so angry again that he was about to refute, but Liu Xiaoru closed the door of the house forcefully.
Wang Yaozu had not yet exited the door with one foot. Seeing her action, he could only run out in a hurry. Not only was he upset, but also received a blow on his back, which made him cry out in pain.
Liu Xiaoru in the house was also talking to Zhang Yunniang about her plans at this time: "Sister, I want to find Granny Qian and rent the previous room back."
Zhang Yunniang shook her head and said: "The world has many demands on women. I'm afraid the room that the Wang family rented before was not suitable. On the one hand, there are many scholars living in the backyard. You are alone and it is easy to attract gossip. On the other hand, the courtyard Many people here know that you have money, and they are afraid that they will become thief."
Many of the scholars who came to Fucheng to take exams were accompanied by their own brothers or servants. It was obviously not appropriate for Liu Xiaoru to live in that courtyard anymore.
"Then where do I live?" Liu Xiaoru couldn't help but ask.
She originally thought that by getting rid of the Wang family, she would be able to regain her life, but she did not expect that she would face various problems in this first step. The money was too much, and it turned out to be a hot potato.
Zhang Yunniang said: "You can live with Granny Qian during this period."
Granny Qian's son passed away last year, and she now lives in the northwest corner of the house with her adopted children and grandchildren.
Her little grandson is only four years old. At this age, even if they live together, it will not affect Liu Xiaoru's reputation.
"Sister, I still have a way!" Liu Xiaoru looked at Zhang Yunniang with bright eyes. Zhang Yunniang added: "In order to prevent Xiao Xiaoxiao from coveting this money, the best use is to spend it openly. There is no rush in advance. You can think about it slowly. We will be in Fucheng this month and can protect it." Your security."
Liu Xiaoru nodded vigorously. She was actually a little hesitant about whether she wanted to go back to her parents' home.
When she thought of the virtues of her brother and sister-in-law, she was also afraid that the money would get into their eyes and they would never get it back.
Although Mrs. Qian was not used to having many outsiders around her, she was grateful for Gu Mingda's help in the past and agreed to Liu Xiaoru living in her house for only a small amount of money.
Liu Xiaoru was always diligent and tidied up everything inside and outside the house before Mrs. Qian could say anything. The last trace of dissatisfaction in Mrs. Qian's heart was gone.
Zhang Yuniang returned to her house and said to Gu Mingda with some guilt: "Mr. sir, am I too nosy? I have been making trouble for so long and it has delayed your studies."
Gu Mingda chuckled lightly and said: "This is kindness, not nosy. Besides, studying is a long-term hard work, not a temporary fix. Even if I do it now, it probably won't affect the results of the college exam, so why should you?" So I blame myself.”
Zhang Yuniang sighed softly. It seemed that all her shortcomings were all advantages in her husband's eyes. She seemed to be able to get his support and understanding in whatever she did.
Niu Niu on the side listened to her parents talking, her little eyes rolled, and then she threw herself into Zhang Yun's arms and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you, Mom, for minding your own business, otherwise there might not be Niu Niu in this world. Mom is so amazing. It’s like the reincarnation of a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and saves another life.”
Zhang Yunniang raised her hand and gently tapped her daughter's small nose, and said: "Little clever devil, you come to join in the fun!"
Niu Niu smiled sweetly at her.
Zhang Yun's mother's heart almost melted, and she felt that all the fatigue of the whole day was gone.
But she still explained it to Gu Mingda carefully and said, "I don't know why, but when I heard Lady Liu crying, I couldn't help but want to help her."
Gu Mingda said: "Maybe she fell in love with you, or maybe you were sisters in your previous life."
Zhang Yunniang nodded and said, "I look forward to having such a well-behaved and obedient sister."
Gu Mingda suddenly fell silent when he thought of Zhang Yun's biological sister.
Niu Niu suddenly said: "I like Aunt Liu very much!"
The couple nodded. Niuniu had been helping Liu Xiaoru all the time. Even if the child liked to join in the fun, she seemed a little too caring. They asked: "You know that you like her even though you are such an older person. What do you like about her?"
Niu Niu tilted her head and said, "I like her tallness!"
The couple laughed even harder.
Niu Niu continued: "Aunt Liu will listen to me carefully. She is different from others."
Zhang Yunniang didn't expect that Niuniu actually gave a decent reason. She nodded and said, "She is patient."
After all, it is hard enough for ordinary adults to be responsible for their own three meals a day, and no one can bear to listen to a five-year-old child.
Niu Niu said something surprising again: "I also like that she can fight. She is as powerful as my mother. She is so majestic when holding a broom. She can also pull hair and scratch people's faces. Niu Niu will learn to fight from her in the future!"
