Mrs. Wang could understand Mrs. Liu's worries, so she picked up the bowl and drank the wine here as a drink with a bit of alcohol flavor, remembering the good life in the past.
While telling him his plan, he dispelled Mr. Liu's worries.
"Over the years, my family has saved a little bit of money, and we were living a stable life in my hometown. But last year there was a severe drought. My family member and I thought that the elders in the family had passed away and had nothing to worry about, so we decided to come here.
.”
"I'm with my cousin, and the whole family is together. If anything happens to my aunt, she can call us."
Wang's lies were half-truths and half-lies, and it was impossible to tell. She said slowly:
"Both my brother and Dayou are skilled in their crafts, so it won't be a problem to support our family. It's just that we have just arrived here and are not familiar with the place. I'm afraid I have to trouble you to help with things like buying land and houses."
When Mrs. Liu heard that the Xu family was still in trouble and had no intention of relying on her own family, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and promised in authentic dialect with a mouthful of dirt:
"It's nothing to ask around. Cousin-in-law, don't worry, my husband-in-law can handle this for you!"
Saying that, he stood up in a hurry and wanted to call Gongsun An over to talk about the matter. Unfortunately, he was already drunk with Xu Da and couldn't move at all.
Xu Dachong smiled apologetically at his cousin-in-law. It was hard for Mrs. Liu to call him a guest, so she had to quickly call Gongsun An's entourage to help Gongsun An down.
Gongsun Yu was also a little dizzy. He waved his hands and stood up, asking his servants to help him back.
Wang Dayou looked at Xu Da, and wisely took Junmei and Wang Youliang down to rest.
In the end, only Xu Yue's family of five remained in the entire hall, as well as Mr. Xu, who gradually woke up from the chaos and confusion.
She was wearing a jade-colored dark dress and was sitting on her knees on a soft cushion made of colorful silk. A large red lacquered long desk separated her from Xu Yue's family of five, and they faced each other across the desk.
Tall copper crane lamps stand on both sides of the desk. The grease is burned inside. Unlike ordinary oil lamps, this kind of fuel does not emit black smoke when burned and is brighter.
Previously, Xu Yue didn't have time to observe what this big house with three entrances looked like. Now that the idlers and others have dispersed, various details have been revealed, which also shows that the cousin's grandmother's family is different from the landowners.
With the Gongsun family as a local prominent family, how could my cousin and grandma's family be just simple landowners?
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and Mrs. Xu slowly asked: "Xu Da, have you read and read?"
Xu Da glanced at the forty-something old woman in front of him, and nodded half-truthfully, "The mysterious traveling doctor I met on the road taught me a few words, and I know how to do simple writing and arithmetic."
The old woman nodded in agreement, "If you are literate, you can do more things with literacy."
Xu Dayi was quite flattered when he heard his cousin's tone of preparing to arrange errands for him.
"You know how to do calculations. My second brother's house happens to be short of an accounting clerk. After we settle down in a few days, I'll ask the master to take you over and have a look."
Mrs. Xu said to herself: "Our third brother has been working hard and diligently over the years, and we have never asked the second brother to give you a job as an accountant. The second brother will not refuse to give you this face."
As he said this, he glanced at Xu Da and saw that he had no reaction. He thought he was dissatisfied with the arrangement and patiently explained:
"Don't be offended. Although someone in our family is an official in the city, it would not be difficult to arrange for you to find a serious job in the county government. But when you just came here, it's a bit too conspicuous for me to ask the master to help you.
"
"In the final analysis, I am just a step-in-law. Since your cousin's uncle passed away, my mother's family has lost its influence. Now our Xu family only has your lineage. For the sake of my cousin's uncle, I will not ignore it.
you."
"You just do it now. After two years, when you have established a firm foothold here and show your skills, I will ask the master to find a serious job for you."
Mrs. Xu said the words that broke her heart. She had been alone in this big family for so many years, and when she was in the most difficult time, she was looking forward to having a helper.
Now, although the most difficult period has been overcome, the third house has been separated, and I have become the mistress of the house, but there are two completely different situations between having someone in charge and having no one in charge.
Moreover, when used by people who are not related by blood, I always feel a little uneasy. Even if I have to spend energy to cultivate, I always feel that I am cultivating an outsider, which is a shame.
Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Dagang was quite smart in what she said and did at the table, and she really wanted to support her mother-in-law's family.
Looking at the old woman's sincere eyes, Xu Datong's family looked at each other, and all five of them nodded in agreement.
This aunt is very capable, and she can really get into trouble!
If you don't agree anymore, it will look like you are ungrateful. Xu Dacheng gratefully agreed.
At night, a family of five was lying on a bunk on the ground. Xu Da couldn't help but sigh: "In this world, you need a relative to help you make this journey easier."
"Da Lang, Er Niang, and Young Niang, you three must remember to be filial to your aunt in the future. We must not forget the kindness of taking you in." Xu Da warned seriously.
Mrs. Wang nodded in rare agreement and asked the children to remember their father's words and be grateful people.
However, he did not forget to warn Xu Da that there should be a limit to chewing on the elderly.
Xu Da replied hurriedly: "I know, I know. I just came here and haven't figured out the situation yet. When I get up early tomorrow morning, I will find a place for us to stay."
He always lives in his aunt's house. He is too embarrassed for a grown man, okay? Do you really think that he, Xu Da, is a poor relative with no ability?
Seeing Xu Da's unconvinced look, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but smile, pulled up the quilts for her two daughters, and the three of them closed their eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Xu Da was a bit unreliable at first, but now after half a year of encouragement from the mother and son, he has grown into a qualified old father.
The next day, mother and son took a good rest at their cousin's aunt's house, and left the matter of buying a house and land to Xu Da with peace of mind.
Xu Da used to be a real person with connections. Before, he had no relatives and could not use his talents in this area.
But now a powerful landowner's mother-in-law is right in front of him. If he doesn't make good use of it, he will be sorry for the hardships he has suffered all the way north to find his relatives.
Xu Da was very embarrassed and went directly to his aunt and uncle to tell him about his current difficulties and asked them to help him make some decisions.
And he especially emphasized that he has the money and they don’t need to pay for it, and he won’t gnaw at his old age!
Mrs. Xu glanced at him suspiciously, looked at each other with her husband Gongsun Yu, waved to Xu Da to follow, and led him to her village.
Five hundred acres of fertile land were exposed in front of Xu Da. Surrounding the fields were the houses where tenants lived. Due to the large number of people, the scale seemed larger than that of an ordinary village.
Moreover, there are mountains and rivers here, just southwest of Uburg, very close to the center of Uburg.
