Chapter 183 I dont know how high the sky is and how high it is
When Mrs. Wang came to Mrs. Qin's house, she was teasing her two brothers, Ping An, whom Mr. Gu had brought over, with a happy smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law." Mrs. Gu came up to greet her, bowed and bowed.
Wang smiled and said, "You're here too."
"The weather is nice today, so I brought Brother Ping and Brother An to pay my respects to my mother." Mrs. Gu took her hand and came to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Wang bowed first and then looked at the two little guys. She saw that their faces were rosy and they were full of energy. She no longer looked at the frailty of premature babies and said, "We haven't seen you for a while. Brother Ping and Brother An are actually gaining weight."
Now, you are in good spirits. Third brother and sister, you have worked hard."
Mrs. Gu said: "Wherever I take the credit, it's all because the family spent their money, and Xi'er also prescribed a medicinal bath to strengthen the bones, which made her strong."
There was a hint of gratitude and joy in her words.
Mr. Xie, who was cracking melon seeds at the side, said: "No, my third brother and sister, your house is the most comfortable, you have plenty of money, and there are people to take care of you. Third brother and sister, you are a lucky person."
Gu's smile was a little awkward, and she looked at Mrs. Qin and said, "It's all thanks to my mother's blessing."
Ms. Xie wanted to say more, but Mr. Wang was the first to say: "Although you have been raised well, you were born prematurely and with difficulty in childbirth. You have suffered a serious crime before death. You must not take it lightly and you have to raise it carefully. Brother, still
Xiao, I can only count on you now."
Mrs. Gu looked at her two sons with pity and said, "I can do it. But I am already well now. Sister-in-law, if there is anything I can do to help you at home, just ask me."
Mrs. Wang patted her hand: "There are not many servants in the family, so you have done a great job by taking good care of your two brothers."
Mrs. Gu was still a little hesitant. After she gave birth, although her use was not as good as when the Qin family was still in ruins, she still had two servants helping her. She also had a peaceful confinement, eating and drinking even more exquisitely, and everything was tight.
Her body is recovering well.
Because of this, just listening to Mr. Xie's sour words now makes her a little short of breath. She is afraid that the second sister-in-law will take advantage of other things, so she still wants to do something to help the family? Their third bedroom is also a little bit
Confidence.
"Third brother and sister, that's not what you are saying. You are taking care of the two brothers, so please send back that girl Ju'er. Look at my hands, the inner clothes have become rough after washing." Ms. Xie stretched out her hand.
Hands, face with resentment.
Mrs. Wang said: "Second brother and sister, aren't your clothes all washed by Aunt Pan for you?"
Mr. Xie was a little frustrated.
How come my sister-in-law knows this?
The family hired some capable servants, and there were also washers, but the girls and their underwear did not dare to be washed together by the washers, so they washed them themselves.
It's a pity that Mrs. Xie is used to being waited on. Now that the weather is cold again, there is nowhere to wash their inner clothes, so they ask Aunt Pan to wash them for them, but they don't want Mrs. Wang to expose them.
But Mrs. Xie didn't panic, and said: "That's because Aunt Pan is sensible and knows that she can't eat hard work, so she rushes for this job. I can't stop her, right?"
Mrs. Wang smiled meaningfully, didn’t she?
When Mrs. Qin saw this, she coughed, looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Have all the guests in your mother's family been settled?"
Mrs. Wang sat down and said, "I was about to tell my mother this. Everything has been settled. I will stay here for a few days before going back."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she sat up straight. Someone from Mrs. Wang's natal family must have brought something.
As expected, Mrs. Wang continued: "My mother sent someone to send some silver taels for emergency use, not much, even a thousand taels. I was thinking about doing something to make a living for the family. What does mother think? After all, the family has a lot of money.
The expenses have also increased. The children have to go to school, and we have to take care of things in the northwest. Money is needed everywhere. We only rely on the interest from the land to feed our family. It is enough to save food, but we have to worry about other things.
It was not enough. So I thought about doing something else to earn money, and having food in hand would give me some confidence."
Mrs. Qin nodded: "You are very thoughtful."
"Sister-in-law, how can we make a living with these thousand taels?" asked Xie, "We don't have a man of the right age to go out to take care of things. How can we make a living?"
In the past, when the Qin family was undefeated, the family affairs were taken care of by Qin Boqing, who had no official position. Now all the men in the Qin family who have reached the age of twelve have been exiled. Among the men, only Qin Mingqi, the second wife, was born in late winter.
If you are born, you will be twelve this year.
Mrs. Wang took the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What do you think the second brother and sister would like to propose?"
Xie immediately became energetic and said: "Father and others are all in the northwest. Now the eldest son in the family is our brother Qi. How about finding a reliable shopkeeper and accountant and letting him follow us to carry the flag? Otherwise
If so, we can’t let our female relatives show up, right?”
Mrs. Wang almost laughed. Although children from poor families have long been in charge of their own affairs, and children who encounter changes in the family should also grow up and be sensible, but they did not say what kind of business they would do, how to do it, how much money they would spend, and what the regulations were.
Mr. Xie pushed his son to take over the job first, and was not afraid of losing more than a thousand taels of silver in vain.
In the past, more than a thousand taels of silver would have been used to give the children some experience. It would have been fine if it was gone. The money could be used to buy lessons. However, the situation of the Qin family now means that they cannot spend money to buy lessons like this.
Mr. Xie, you are somewhat ignorant of the heights of the world.
Mrs. Gu also felt that it was outrageous. How could the second sister-in-law dare to speak so harshly? The money was sent by the eldest sister-in-law's family.
Mrs. Wang put down her teacup and said, "Brother, now that I'm older, I should help take care of the household chores. Xi'er said, Zhao Tongzhi can't sit in this position anymore. Someone must be replaced, so I don't think so."
It’s the New Year, and I’ll find a school in a few days, and send Brother Qi and Brother Chun to the school to study. Since the second brother and sister think that Brother Qi is better at taking care of the housework than studying, then let him follow me.
You can work as an errand any way you want."
What, go to school?
Xie's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
Just kidding, if you can study and test for fame, who would be willing to take care of general affairs and do menial things? How can you be outstanding?
"Nonsense!"
Just when Ms. Xie was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, Mrs. Qin finally spoke, staring at Mr. Xie dissatisfied and scolding: "Brother Qi is so old, it's time for him to get involved in making a living when he is studying. He knows how to
How do you deal with businessmen when you're socializing? I just let people cheat me without saying anything. It's his duty to give me a good education."
Xie said sarcastically: "Mom, I didn't push Brother Qi out just because there was no man of the right age in the family, nor did I really want him to do business."
Mrs. Qin said to Mr. Wang: "If you have any ideas and regulations, just tell them."
