After the family of four ate, to be more accurate, Li Jun and Wenxiu had eaten. Li Jun diligently took care of washing the dishes, washing the pans, and cleaning up the kitchen, letting Wenxiu take the two kids for an afternoon nap.
How could she sleep when there was a strange man hanging around her house?
Wenxiu rejected him immediately!
Most importantly, he didn't know how many days it had been since she had asked Madame Li to make him clothes. Then there was the cotton he asked for, and was it done yet? Since she had nothing to do this afternoon, she quickly went to ask.
Therefore, Wenxiu left Li Jun to clean up the kitchen and took the child to Liu Chungen's house.
When Wenxiu arrived at Liu Chungen's house, she ran into the Zhang family who went to visit her. Mrs Zhang and Mrs Li were talking animatedly about the matter of the Li family's daughter-in-law disgracing herself.
Although Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law weren't related to Wenxiu and Wenxiu didn't care about what was right and wrong, her "identity" was that of a Li family's daughter-in-law, and she hadn't succeeded in breaking off their relationship with the Li family.
"Yo, Xiuniang is here!"
Madame Li suddenly raised her head and saw the awkward face of Wen Xiu in the courtyard. She cried out in alarm, but her face didn't have the embarrassment of having someone to gossip behind it. Instead, she had a magnanimous expression.
Zhang Shi heard this and turned her head to look at Wenxiu and the two children. She smiled and said, "Daylight Mo is speaking behind my back. It's true. He was just talking about the matter with the Li family when you came. Come in and take a seat! "
When Wen Xiu saw that her two sister-in-law did not have the slightest bit of embarrassment, embarrassment was written all over her face as she silently cursed herself for being hypocritical. He was talking about Li family's nieces and wives. What did it have to do with him?
I really think too much!
Hearing the commotion, Liu Fang stuck his head out of the house and saw the tree and the Tong. He happily took the two children away.
The children are not easy to talk to, just in time to leave!
The moment Wenxiu sat down, Mrs Zhang began to slurp beans and repeated what she had said to Mrs Li, "Mrs Xiuniang, you don't know how many times Li Fu beat up Li Lu today. It was really fierce, and lastly, Li Lu was beaten black and blue, and the old woman was crying and making a ruckus as she threw four taels of silver to Li Fu. "Tsk tsk tsk, four silver taels, this old woman will probably die of heartache!"
Wen Xiu wasn't interested in Li Fu beating up Li Lu, but was curious about Old Lady Li giving Li Fu four taels of silver. "What's my mother giving Big Brother four taels of silver for?" Didn't she only accept two taels of silver? " Outside, Wenxiu still gritted her teeth and called the old lady "mother". It was truly a terrifying thing to say. She did not want to ruin her reputation because of the old granny.
Old Mrs. Li was so stingy that the entire Xitang Village knew. She was like a Pixiu, unable to enter. Today, she had actually taken out four taels of silver. Was this not taking her life?
Before Wenxiu came, Zhang also happened to talk about the four taels of silver. When Madame Li heard the first half, she was also curious about the latter half. "That's right, I heard about it too. It's two taels of silver!"
Mrs Zhang smiled and shook her head. "What you know is indeed two taels of silver. But what you don't know is that after Old Lady Li received the tael of silver, she actually gave it to Li Lu. Li Lu spent it all." At noon, Lady Wang and Madam Zhou went crazy over the two taels of silver. They went to Widow Zhao's house to make a scene and even beat him up. "
When Madame Li and Wenxiu heard this, their eyes widened. This was all true?
"My in-laws have taken our children to visit relatives, and Daniu has gone to the town to help out. The Li family members thought that there was no one in our family, so they made a ruckus in the courtyard without hiding anything." The more Mrs. Zhang spoke, the more her mouth slurred, completely at odds with her previous honest image. "But, they don't know that I was too tired from selling my potato flour today and didn't go for lunch. I was lying at home!"
It was precisely because of this that the Zhang Clan had heard about the Li Clan's matter to the end.
Not only that, the silver that Liu Da He gave to Old Madam Li was something Li Lu had taken from him. Moreover, it was not that Old Lady Li had received Liu Da He's silver, but rather that Li Lu had borrowed Old Lady Li's name to ask for Liu Da He's silver.
Li Lu asked for the money and spent it all in the blink of an eye. Old Madam Li, as a woman, had no other choice and didn't want to pay for her son's debt. It was because he had accepted Liu Da He's silver that he was scared to death when he met Liu Da He in Wen Xiu's house.
With the whole bunch of things linked together, Wenxiu immediately understood a lot of things.
Although old lady Li was like a Pi Xiu, she didn't really keep the money firmly in her pocket in the end.
How ironic!
"Li Lu spent two taels of silver, so of course Li Fu, this eldest son, has to get two taels of silver. Otherwise, they would dare to count on the Li Fu family to send them to the endowment of their family." Madame Li thought for a moment and understood. Old Madame Li had no choice but to take it, unless she didn't want anyone to serve her in the future.
Wenxiu did not want to care too much about the Li Family's matters. It was best for that family to disappear from her sight. She changed the topic and said, "Sister-in-law, let me ask you, how is the progress of the clothes I asked you to make? The weather is getting colder and colder, and I'm afraid of my child … "I've caught a chill." When she said the word "cold," she swallowed it back down and almost exposed her face.
Madame Li didn't sense anything amiss and repeatedly nodded. "It was done yesterday, and I was still thinking that if you didn't come today, I would send it to you tomorrow!"
Wenxiu was overjoyed. "That fast? "Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"
Madame Li stood up and entered the house to get her clothes. As she walked, she said, "Look at how courteous you are." "It's just that I didn't make that sheet of yours. I don't know the size of your blanket yet, so I didn't dare rashly cut it off."
The quilt was made by multiplying the size of two meters with the size of two meters. It weighed about eight pounds of cotton. It wasn't thick, but it wasn't thin either. The quilt was wide, so it was difficult for children to get cold.
Wenxiu quickly reported the size to Mrs Li and said, "Sister-in-law, if I want to make a quilt, I can just put it on. If it's dirty, I can just take it off and wash it before putting it back."
When Madame Li and Madame Zhang heard this, their eyes lit up. "You can do this?"
Wenxiu did not dare to say that she had always been like this in her previous life. She vaguely said, "That's right, I've already thought about it. It's so convenient. If I did not have to trouble you with a wash, how bad would that be?"
"It's not troublesome at all, but the blanket you said is really that good. At least it's a lot more convenient."
"Un, it's like this!"
"Xiu Niang, hurry up and tell us what to do!"
Three women for a play. Wenxiu had yet to try on a new set of clothes when she was pulled by Mrs. Zhang to make a new set of quilts.
A blanket, that's simple, cut off two pieces of the same size cloth, and then close it? As for the opening, without the zipper, one could use a rope to tie it up. It was simply too easy!
The blanket was simple, and Madame Li's hands and feet were nimble. It was only around five o'clock, but she had already made the modern style of the blanket according to the requirements of the scholar.
