Chapter 325: Don’t be stupid
After selling a few portions of rice cakes, Lan Niang picked up the cotton jacket that was worn on the blind woman.
"Mom, it's getting colder and colder the day after tomorrow. You're at home, so I'll come out alone." As she said that, Lan Niang coughed a few more times, her face very haggard.
She only cared about the blind woman, but she was still wearing thin clothes when she was sick.
"When it's cold, you'll be sick and you'll be delayed in your work again."
"I'm fine."
"You will work harder today and make two more pots of rice cakes, so that you can sell more money. If you have enough, you can give Hou'er."
Lan Niang sighed, "It's not that I'm afraid of hard work, but that I can't sell it even if I do it too much."
"You still want to be lazy!"
Liu Yunxiang could buy some rice cakes, but the guys from Jingchuanyuan and Nanmozhai had eaten enough, and said that they would never want to eat rice cakes again. Although Lan Niang was poor, she was very strong and did not accept charity.
At this time, a little girl came to Lan Niang's rice cake stall. She was wearing a crimson cotton skirt. She had a bit of whiteness, but she was clean and neat, with a pair of combed buns, and she looked white and cute. She had big eyes, staring at the rice cake in the basket.
This little girl is Yue'er.
When Lan Niang saw Yue'er, she seemed to know her. She picked up a piece of rice cake from the basket, half got up and stuffed it into Yue'er's hand.
“Eat.”
Yue'er held it in her hands and ate it, and her nose was covered with scum. Lan Niang got up and wiped it with a handkerchief.
"Every time I see you alone, where is your adult?"
Yue'er whined and said a word: "Home."
"Who do you have in your family?"
"Home...many...many people."
Lan Niang rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Eat slowly."
The blind woman listened and asked reluctantly: "Does she have money? Just give it to her?"
"Mom, just a child."
"The child doesn't want money? Why are you so relaxed? If you do this, you will miss your wealth!"
"mother!"
"Don't let her go, wait for her family to get the money!"
The blind woman was afraid that Lan Niang would let her go, so she quickly got up, shook her hand a few times, grabbed Yue'er, and pulled her in front of her, "I want to eat for nothing, there is no way!"
"Mom, this kid is crazy, you will scare her!" Lan Niang hurriedly stopped her.
"No fool can't help but give money!"
Yue'er was already scared when she saw that the blind woman was so fierce, and her body was trembling.
Seeing this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly walked up and shouted: "Let go!"
The blind woman pulled Yue'er forward and pushed her forward, "This is your child?"
"yes."
The blind woman hummed and then let go, "This kid has eaten my rice cake, so give it money."
Yue'er hugged Liu Yunxiang and hugged her head straight into her arms.
Liu Yunxiang patted her on the back, "Yue'er is not afraid, my sister is here."
She comforted Yue'er for a while, and the little girl was no longer afraid, but she still hid behind her and did not dare to look at the blind woman.
Lan Niang looked apologized, "Boss, I didn't expect this child to belong to yours. I'm sorry, I'll apologize to you for my mother."
"What's wrong with me? Are your bones born soft?" cried the blind woman.
"Mom, stop talking. This boss is a good person and has helped me!"
"Where is the boss?"
"The study."
The blind woman thought for a moment, then changed into a smile, "It turns out that I know each other, blame me!"
Liu Yunxiang shook her head at Lan Niang and signaled that she didn't care. She saw Yue'er ate another piece, obviously not full yet, and she was still staring at the rice cake in the basket and swallowing saliva.
"Lan Niang, I want all these rice cakes, you can wrap them up."
"Ah, but there are so many things that you can't finish eating, so you'd better ask for less." Lan Niang reminded.
"You are so stupid. You can take as much as you want. Why do you talk so much?" The blind woman shouted.
Lan Niang still looked at Liu Yunxiang, "If the boss wants to help me, I will thank you, but I can't waste it."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I won't waste it, I have many family members."
Lan Niang was at ease, "That's good."
She wrapped the rice cakes in the basket in packs of oil paper, tied them up with hemp rope, and brought them to Liu Yunxiang. After Liu Yunxiang took them, she gave her a piece of silver.
"Is it enough?"
"Enough is enough, there are more, I'll look for you."
"No, you can take it to see yourself for illness. It's not okay to keep coughing."
Lan Niang was about to refuse, but the blind woman intercepted her words and looked towards Liu Yunxiang, "Mrs. I heard that you said it seems to know my Lan Niang. If that's the case, you should help her."
Liu Yunxiang didn't like this blind woman, so she was a little lonely in her voice, "How did you say this?"
"Her husband is going to participate in the autumn examination, but he is still missing the registration fee of ten taels. Can the boss lend her? After her husband is in high school, she will become the official wife. You can also benefit from the boss."
"Mom!" Lan Niang was so embarrassed.
The blind woman pushed her, "Please beg this lady, Hou'er's future depends on you."
"Mom, I can't, I..."
"For your husband, what can you do not have? Even if you kill your life, you should be willing to do so!"
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she couldn't listen. She looked at the blind woman and said, "Did she owe you or something in her previous life? Why would she be willing to serve you mother and son? It was said that she was a daughter-in-law and wife, but in your eyes, did you really treat her as a family? In your eyes, she is clearly a tool for making money. If you can make money, you will be useful. Once you can't make money and cannot satisfy you, you will become useless waste! Your family is barely barely, a man who needs to be raised by his wife. Not only is he shameless, he also acts as an official all day long, and you really treat yourself as an official? And you, a blind mother-in-law, knowing that you are useless and relying on your daughter-in-law to raise him, don't say thank you, at least you should say something nice? If you two mother-in-law were like this, if I were Lan Niang, I would have left you alone, and if I lacked two burdens, life would only be better!"
When the woman who set up a stall selling vegetables heard this, she probably couldn't stand the blind woman's attitude towards Lan Niang, and couldn't help but shout: "Good words!"
The blind woman blushed and turned into a pig's liver, "You... this is my family's business, what are you, you..."
"Let's see what you two are. Just your son's virtue and want to have high school. It's just a dream! I'll give you another sentence, there's no registration fee for the imperial examination. He wants these ten taels of silver, so what he might do!"
After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, he nodded to Lan Niang, and then pulled Yue'er away.
The blind woman's face turned red and white, so angry that she pushed Lan Niang hard.
"If you have resentment in your heart, just say it, and you have to borrow someone else's mouth. I don't know that you are so scheming! When Hou'er high school, my Chen family will never tolerate you!"
"Mom!" Lan Niang widened her eyes, almost unable to believe what she heard, "Mom, it turns out that you really never thought I was a family!"
The blind woman buried her heart and said it accidentally, and she immediately felt a little regretful.
"I'm so angry."
