Chapter 248 I swore a poisonous oath in front of my mother
This is shameless and I want to waste all my money.
Yao just wanted to take a trip and make a big difference in price, but he didn't expect that Xu Darong actually wanted to pay for it all.
Dumbfounded, she said, "But, I swore in front of my mother that I would take at least one hundred and thirty taels back..."
Xu Darong picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, "What does it mean to have made an oath? Is the oath more important or the money more important? It's more than one hundred and thirty taels, why should we use it? I only get more than twenty taels a year.
They have been paying for me to teach for several years. We have worked hard to earn the money. They make loquat ointment and loquat wine to treat people with acupuncture at home. In the future, there will be many ways to get money. We don’t think it is a violation of our conscience."
These words touched Yao's heart. Between an oath and money, she would definitely choose money.
Now that this was the case, her mind was completely aroused, "That's what I mean too. Mom still expects us to go home in autumn to help collect food. She doesn't think about us when it's good. She just thinks about this kind of menial and dirty work.
We are a family. She doesn’t even think about it. In our family, you are a scholar, a high-ranking official, a decent person, Da Lang is a scholar, and Feng’er is the eldest lady. It’s not like they are dirt-legged people from the countryside. What can we do well when we go back?
Work? When the time comes to make things worse when we go back, she is going to talk about how we can only eat and not work when we go back! Anyway, she is the one on the left, and she is the one on the right. I don’t think our mother has anything else but an objection to our big house. You see
The fourth child is her biological child. If the fourth child does something unreliable, why won't my mother wipe his butt?"
Xu Darong's originally hard-thinking expression suddenly became enlightened when he heard the words "Xu Laosi".
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mom, I treat you a little differently."
"That is, I serve my parents at home, but my mother treats me differently from Luo Shi. When Luo Shi does something wrong, my mother doesn't scold her, but just stares at me and scolds me. She feels dissatisfied with everything I do. What's the reason for this?
?Does she really dislike me? I'm not a person with dignity. My dignity is all given to you by Da Rong. If she doesn't give me the respect, she won't give it to you. Life at home is getting better now, obviously not
We were short of money, and she still didn't believe me, so she made me swear in front of everyone that I would take back all the money from selling things, for fear that we would be caught in the debt and not give us any benefit! There is also my old sister
My son, she was also on guard against us. I slept in the same room with her for several days, and when I asked her how to make loquat ointment, she just didn’t answer..."
Yao is full of complaints!
After a few months at Lao Xu's house, I felt uncomfortable for several months. Now that I have vented all my complaints, I feel relaxed all over.
After she finished complaining, she turned to Xu Darong and asked, "We keep the money, what's the explanation? Mom will definitely pursue it and won't let us go. If she goes all out, if she goes to sue the officials, you, a scholar, are afraid
There’s nothing more to do…”
Xu Darong smiled confidently and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Just turn everything into money. Let's go home in a few days."
Yao nodded, "Okay!"
Let’s talk about selling loquat wine again.
Xu Darong asked, "How many kilograms of loquat wine have you brought? How does it taste?"
"My mother didn't let me bring more, so she brought five kilograms. It was packed in bottles, one kilogram at a time. I don't know the taste. My mother never let us drink it. When we held a banquet at home, the neighbors agreed.
drink."
"Those mud-legged guys say everything tastes good. Just take out a pound and Dalang and I will try it tonight. Dalang knows wine. Several of his classmates are masters of wine tasting."
Yao responded, "Okay, boss."
While the couple was talking, Xu Chengfeng came back outside. Naturally, the mother and daughter had another affectionate talk when they met.
***
In the Empress Temple.
After Xu Zhang left with the young monk, Xu Jiaojiao was left alone.
She took the burning incense and knelt down towards the futon.
As soon as I knelt down, I suddenly felt that my whole body felt inexplicably weak, my mind was wandering, and there seemed to be some voice in my head.
Strange sound!
Like the sound of water, but also like the sound of human beings...
She seemed to have returned to the moment when she fell into the water in her previous life. Under the sea, she wanted to swim up, but suddenly her legs cramped. No matter how hard she swam, she couldn't swim up. She couldn't hold her breath for longer and longer, and she couldn't bear it anymore...
And suddenly saw the moment when the original owner Xu Jiaojiao fell into the water. Xu Jiaojiao was rowing affectionately with Wang Xiaomazi on the boat. Suddenly she glanced and saw Liao Qing staring at her coldly on the bridge. She screamed in fright.
There was a sound, and the oar in her hand fell off. She hurriedly went to fish it out, but because her body was too heavy, she just bent sideways and fell out of the boat...
The sound of gurgling, gurgling, choking water...
Xu Jiaojiao felt like she couldn't breathe, and her consciousness gradually became blurred...
Liao Qing's cold eyes stared at her like an eagle, even if she fell into the water, his eyes would still follow her...
Indifferent and heartless, I hate premeditation!
Her body sank to the bottom of the river, and the cold water made her breathless. She was about to suffocate to death!
Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao was lifted up from the futon with great force, "Get up, it's time for the next one!"
Xu Jiaojiao suddenly woke up from her trance.
She looked up and saw that the person holding her collar was a man. He was tall and slender, as straight as a javelin, and very strong. He was carrying her little fat body, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, as if he was carrying a chicken.
.
She subconsciously punched him.
"it's me!"
Liao Qing turned around, and Xu Jiaojiao's eyes were instantly blinded by the handsome man's clear facial features.
Her fist was in mid-air and she was retracted.
Didn't he go to work? Why is he here again?
Xu Jiaojiao regained consciousness, and Liao Qing stopped carrying her and let her go, instead giving her a little support.
At this time, Xu Jiaojiao's whole body was soft and limp. It wasn't Liao Qinglai just now. She didn't know if she could wake up from that illusion...
It's a nightmare!
As soon as I knelt down on the futon, I was inexplicably trapped in an illusion of chaotic consciousness.
Fortunately, Liao Qing gave her a hand.
Xu Jiaojiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
My mental strength is still not very good.
Liao Qing half-supported her, and most of her body weight was on him.
"What happened just now? The incense burned into the palm of your hand?"
He went to the backyard to find the kitchen steward and handed over the goods. He saw Xu Zhang and Xu Jiaojiao entering the temple. Xu Jiaojiao's face was not good and she looked gloomy.
Liao Qing's eyelids twitched and he felt uneasy, so he followed in and took a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Zhang walked away, Xu Jiaojiao was in trouble.
