Chapter 9: Working for Father-in-law This chapter is free
When it rains, I don’t go out. I just stay upstairs and write, and I also teach Yu’er how to write. While we were chatting, I also took Yu’er to play poker. Yu’er has now learned a new way of playing, called Doudizhu.
. He is very playful every day, always leading his servants to fight around.
He is not very interested in Landlords, because the men in Landlords are unreliable. Obviously, he is a reliable man, so he doesn't like Landlords.
He still spends the most time reading and practicing calligraphy. His temperament is inherently quiet, and he often sits down without moving for several hours. Even though there are many parts of the words that require guessing to read, it can't be wasted.
His patience made him feel that even if he continued to live like this, it wouldn't be enough.
Of course, there are always miscellaneous things.
What Mr. Su means is: Since the Su family and the Li family are now related by marriage, and he is also a married person, he should keep his wife by his side.
Although Mr. Su didn't force him to take the woman back, he always asked him to deliver something to Li's house from time to time.
According to his wishes, this kind of love between a man and a woman can be just let it take its course. What else can you ask for... But the old man insists on doing this, so he doesn't want to be too disobedient. Su San was too naughty before, so
Words spoken out naturally have no weight.
Therefore, every month, he always has a few troubled days.
The Li family is a big family, and the situation is quite complicated. Mr. Li is the patriarch, and several of his brothers also live together and are not separated.
The previous generation had three houses, but in Li Yue'er's generation, there were many brothers and sisters. Li Yue'er's eldest brother went into business with Mr. Li and supported the facade of the big house. People in other houses had to rely on the big house.
The property of the house is spent below.
When there are more people, some people are dissatisfied with the big family monopolizing power, and there are always rumors of splitting up the family. This becomes the main reason for the complicated relationship.
Of course, Su San would not participate in these family affairs of the Li family. She was really dissuaded by Mr. Su, so she went to the Li family. During the family banquet, she always sat far away and rarely talked to him.
On the other hand, her cousins came up and talked a lot, most of them gloating about his misfortune and hoping that he would take Li Yuer back to the Su family to suffer.
He always had a smile on his face and did not agree to their words. He just kept his head down and ate. He did not mention the matter of taking her back. As soon as he finished eating, he stood up and left to avoid having to talk with his father-in-law and mother-in-law after the meal.
, in fact, neither party knows what to say, so it will definitely be very embarrassing.
Every time, it was his uncle who was extremely displeased and resentfully sent him out the door at the instruction of his father-in-law.
Naturally, he doesn't care about everyone's likes and dislikes. What kind of experiences in the previous life are there? What kind of human conditions, world conditions, and conditions have he not experienced?
Instead of trying every means to please others, it is better to put these things aside and live his own life happily. Of course, if possible, he still hopes that someone will be more enthusiastic about him. After all, he is also a common person, and being cold-eyed is not something that common people will like.
.
He now likes fishing, and several old men who often fish by the lake always exchange fishing experiences with him. After returning from fishing, he and Yu'er hid in the small courtyard and grilled fish. There was no such thing in this era.
This way of eating it still has a different flavor, but there are fewer condiments that can be paired with it, which makes it a bit unsatisfactory.
The key point is that these old men have a rather calm temperament, and they are even more taboo when talking and laughing. The feeling of speaking freely without having to think about it is actually what really attracts him to the lake for fishing.
.
However, Mr. Su didn't want him to be so leisurely. Thinking that his injuries were healed and he wouldn't go to the brothels and gambling stalls anymore, he thought about whether he should find something for him to do.
In fact, this question is a very troublesome one. What can a non-academic person be expected to do? Be a shopkeeper? Accountant? Or a clerk? It would be strange if he could do it.
Mr. Su is worthy of being a person who has been in the business world all his life. He has a good brain and can come up with an idea in the blink of an eye.
"Go to your father-in-law's place and find something to do!"
Ah...this old fox! He actually didn't suffer any losses. He served as a shield for the Li family, and he must make up for it before he is happy.
Isn’t this putting the blame on others?
Mr. Su posed a difficult problem for Mr. Li.
But is Old Man Li the kind of person who lets others take advantage of him? Old Man Li is even more ruthless... Therefore, as soon as Mr. Su said this, seeing that this 'disaster' could not be left, he readily agreed. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Su agreed.
, he proposed to let Su San become a teacher in the Li family’s school.
"How can I be sir?" Mr. Su's jaw dropped to the ground.
"Why can't you be sir?" Old Man Li, God is here.
Mr. Su rolled his eyes and stopped talking. When he returned home, he waved his hand and said, "Three, in a few days, you will be a teacher at the Li Family School."
