"In addition, we have to pay five taels of silver!" Madam Fu said, opening and closing her mouth.
"Fifty taels of silver? Isn't this going to cost me my life?" Mrs. An's face darkened, she began to cry loudly, and was about to lie down and roll on the ground.
How could Mrs. Fu be so easy to get along with? Her expression was flat: "Yes, then you can pay for it with your life, and we'll see you in the government!"
Mrs. An's mother-in-law found that her tricks were of no use when facing the wife of the family. She had to stand up straight and said to Su Yu with a sad face: "Master Su, your family has a great business and you don't lack this.
We, from a small family, really can’t afford to lose money!”
Su Yu looked calm and said nothing.
The wife of the Fu family put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You are a thief, you didn't raise a girl well, and you let her steal things, and now you come to plead for mercy? Besides, the young master is already merciful enough if he doesn't send your family to the government!"
"
"Yes, Mr. Su is indeed merciful in doing this." Some onlookers agreed.
"In my opinion, Mr. Su felt pity for Cuiping when he saw Cuiping suffering in the An family, and that's why he wanted to get Cuiping out. Otherwise, he would not have done this to break up the couple!"
Someone spoke up for Su Yu again.
After hearing this, Shuangxi felt a little unnatural. It seemed that if he dragged Su Yu into the water like this, it would affect Su Yu's reputation to some extent. This time, this favor was considered too big.
Mrs. An's wife finally compromised. She couldn't beat Mrs. Fu's, and she was extremely afraid that Su Yu would report to the official, so she accepted the defeat.
Five taels of silver! For the An family, it was just enough. The two taels of silver earned by Cuiping a few days ago, plus the savings from the previous family, totaled only five taels and a few copper coins.
Now when I take these out, I will only have a dozen copper coins left at home.
But there is no way, she can't get it!
Shuangxi saw Mrs. An's wife responded, with a smile on her face. Why did she want these five taels of silver? She had planned it, and Cuiping got two taels of them back in the past two days. It was definitely not possible for An's family to take advantage of it.
Yes, some of the remaining three taels of silver were earned from working in Cuiping before, and some were money from their five chickens!
She won't ask for more money from Anjia, but she will never give it away if it belongs to her!
Even though Brother Bao was reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, he signed the document of divorce and asked the head of the village to come over as a witness. The head of the village was very happy to do this. He could only wish to be able to curry favor with Mr. Su.
.As for whether he would offend the An family? He wouldn't think so much about it! Even if he didn't offend the An family, it wouldn't be good for him.
The An family was illiterate. The document of reconciliation was written by Shen Ziyan, and what was written in it was naturally biased towards Cuiping's side, such as not being able to bear the humiliation of her husband's family, and proposing reconciliation.
All Brother Bao has to do is draw and sign.
Cuiping was excited when she saw Brother Bao pressing his fingerprints! She had finally waited for this day, and she would no longer be controlled by Anjia.
In the afternoon of that day, Shuangxi and others packed up their things, loaded onto the carriage, and left Qingshi Village.
Of course, before leaving, Shuangxi went to say goodbye to the few families who had good relations with the Shen family, and also gave some small gifts such as cakes as a farewell gift.
The wife of the Zhou family sighed: "Xi'er, you have to leave now, it's so unexpected."
Shuangxi smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, although I have left Qingshi Village, we can still communicate with each other, so there is no need to feel sad."
Today is a happy day for Cuiping to leave the An family, and it is also a happy housewarming. Everyone has smiles on their faces.
In sharp contrast is Anjia!
Mother-in-law of the An family scolded Yuzhu with a dark face: "You bitch, it's you who have brought trouble to our family! Didn't you say that the young master of the Su family fell in love? I didn't see him begging you today!"
Brother Bao kicked out and knocked An Yuzhu to the ground: "It's all you who made me lose my wife!"
Mrs. An's wife quickly stopped Brother Bao: "Don't break her, our whole family is counting on her!"
An Yuzhu burst into tears. In a daze, she suddenly understood that she seemed to have been plotted by An Shuangxi and Cao Cuiping! They had clearly led her to get Dongzhu!
But it was useless for her to say this, because she had indeed taken Dongzhu, and the person who was arrested also got the stolen goods.
But in her heart, she hated Shuangxi and Cao Cuiping! They are two bitches. One day, she, An Yuzhu, must trample these two people under her feet, An Yuzhu gritted her teeth and thought.
There are a lot of things to do on this day. When you arrive at the new house, you will inevitably have to tidy up a lot.
Quanzi and Shen Yan had simply tidied up the bedroom. Shuangxi randomly chose a room close to the half-moon door leading to the backyard. The men of the Shen family, including Quanzi, were confused. Everyone wanted to live next to Shuangxi.
In that room, Shen Ziyan, who was always easy to talk to, didn't want to give in.
Quanzi curled her lips and said with a smile: "My name is written on the house deed, I choose first!"
Shen Yan's face darkened, and he chose the house opposite Shuangxi silently. Who said that the money to buy the house belonged to Quanzi?
Shen Ziyan finally had to live next to Quanzi.
Poor Shen Mo, he is still in school at this time. I don't know how he will feel when he comes back and sees that his house is the farthest away from Shuangxi.
Shuangxi could only turn a blind eye to the overt and covert fights among these men. She couldn't help anyone! This would prevent these men from saying they were partial!
Of course, despite the secret quarreling between these men at home, when they go out, if anyone bullies one of them, they will help each other without hesitation. If someone bullies Xi'er, they will unite with others.
The weeds between the bluestone bricks in the yard had grown up to their ankles, so the family began to tidy up the yard.
Including pruning the trees and minor repairs on the roof, I was busy until the third day, and then I finally felt at ease.
At this time, Cao Genzi had been picked up by Cuiping's mother.
Everything is going in a good direction.
"Is anyone at home?" Someone knocked loudly on the door.
Shuangxi, who was tending flowers and plants in the courtyard, was stunned for a moment. Who could be coming? None of the men were at home, so Shuangxi couldn't help but feel a little more defensive.
"Who is it?" Shuangxi asked through the door.
"I am Mrs. Song, and you are the wife of the Shen family, right? Mr. Su asked me to come." The voice outside the door said angrily.
Shuangxi heard that it was someone sent by Su Yu and opened the door.
I saw a woman in her forties, almost fifty, standing outside the door, followed by several young girls whose clothes had turned white from washing, all about the same age as Shuangxi.
This woman was well-dressed, with a shiny golden hairpin on her head. She had a square face and a black mark on the corner of her mouth.
"Oh, is this the Shen family's wife? She's so handsome!" Mrs. Song saw Shuangxi, looked at her, and said quickly.
Because she was tending to the flowers and plants, Shuangxi was wearing old clothes and looked a little shabby, but Mrs. Song did not look down on Shuangxi because of this.
Look at the house where they live. Although they are not from a wealthy family, they are certainly not poor. And considering the beauty of this little lady, based on this alone, she should be from a wealthy family.
For such a beautiful little lady, who wouldn’t marry into a rich and good family?
Besides, Butler Fu had ordered her to come here. The value of someone who could get in touch with Mr. Su would not be low!
Shuangxi felt a little uncomfortable being praised so suddenly. She looked at Mrs. Song and said, "I wonder what business this aunt brings to the house?"
"Come on, come on, all of you, let Mrs. Shen take a closer look." Mrs. Song was a familiar person. Before Shuangxi greeted her, she walked into the yard and called to the young girls behind her.
Shuangxi frowned slightly, because she didn't know what Mrs. Song was here for, and it was hard for her to kick her out. After all, she came with Su Yu's name. She still had to give Su Yu some face. divided.
"Ms. Shen, what do you think of these girls?" Mrs. Song said with a smile.
Shuangxi said with confusion: "I don't know..."
Mrs. Song said flatteringly: "I heard that Madam Shen has just moved to a new home and is short of help, so I got the order from Mr. Su to let Madam Shen pick some maids."
Without waiting for Shuangxi's reply, Mrs. Song raised her voice and said to those girls: "You all cheered me up! Whoever Lady Shen chooses is her blessing!"
Shuangxi frowned, not liking the way Mrs. Song acted. However, Shuangxi also had plans to find a few maids, so he didn't send Mrs. Song away.
One reason is that he lives in the county town. This house is not small, and it can't be managed without someone. The other reason is that when he goes out or is at home, he can't always let men accompany him, right? There is one It is always good to have a maid to accompany you. Thinking about it this way, it is necessary to find a maid.
Shuangxi nodded to Mrs. Song, and then began to look at these maids.
There were thirteen people in total, and everyone looked clean, and their hair was carefully combed into two buns. From this, it can be seen that Mrs. Song is still serious about her.
How could she not be interested? Unless she didn't want to hang out in Qingshan County, otherwise, who would dare to offend Mr. Su! She has been a person for so many years, but she still has this bit of foresight.
Of course, even though she said this, she still had to do business to make money. Of course, she couldn't bring all the good maids and sell them to Mrs. Shen at a low price. Among these maids, half were good and half were bad.
When the time comes, it will depend on how this lady of the Shen family chooses. No matter whether it is good or bad, she will not be blamed!
These maids all lowered their heads at this time and did not dare to look up at Shuangxi. Only one maid bravely glanced at Shuangxi. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it. Tickets, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
