I became the villain's deceased wife
Chapter 21 The power of taking charge of the family
Xie Yunzhe came back a little late today and still looked tired, but he did not mention that he would take a day off tomorrow. He happily handed Liu fifty cents.
It is said that as long as you do a good job in the foot trade, your wages will gradually increase depending on the work you do, and the highest can reach two hundred coins.
Song Tian looked at him handing over the bill respectfully and touched his pocket.
The remaining money from shopping and the money earned from today's stall are still with her. Should they also be given to Liu?
But this was all the money she had worked so hard to earn, and there was only this little left. She felt bad about giving it away for nothing!
And if I pay the bill, won’t I have to ask Liu for money when I buy anything in the future?
It's always trouble.
Otherwise, pay half first?
Just as she was struggling with her conscience, she saw Liu handing her fifty coins that her eldest son had handed over.
"A Tian, you will need to make ends meet when you run your business, and you will be in charge of the family's money from now on."
Song Tian: "..."
This...is not so good.
Although she is already a wife of the Xie family, Song Tian is used to being independent and has no sense of belonging to the Xie family. She always feels that she is just an employee of the Xie family and has to do her job accordingly.
But if you have money, the feeling will be different.
Besides, although Liu has a good impression of her, Xie Yunzhe, the sinister villain, is always on guard against her. Can he agree?
As he thought about it, his eyes unconsciously turned to Xie Yunzhe.
But he was sitting upright at the dinner table, with no unusual expression on his face.
"You are Yunzhe's wife, the eldest wife of our Xie family. You are the most suitable person to be the head of the family."
Seeing that she didn't answer, Liu persuaded her gently.
"Mother, I..."
Song Tian instinctively wanted to refuse.
In the past, she was the only one who could feed the whole family. She really didn’t know how to manage the family.
"Just do it if your mother asks you to."
Xie Yunzhe spoke.
Song Tian made fried tofu and stewed braised pork today. He had been doing physical work all day and was already hungry, so he just wanted to eat quickly.
"Besides, given the current situation of the Xie family, there aren't many silver coins in the family. Are you still afraid that you can't figure it out?"
Seeing Song Tian's embarrassed expression, Xie Yunzhe couldn't help but sneer at him.
Song Tian's face turned dark, feeling offended!
"Of course I know!"
She took the copper coin angrily and turned to Xie Yunzhe.
"But you also know that money is in short supply now. In order to keep our family afloat, you must hand in your daily wages on time. If you want to withdraw money from me, it will not be allowed unless you have a legitimate and sufficient reason!"
Liu looked at her angry expression and laughed in silence, and quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Okay, let's eat."
……
In the evening, after washing up and returning to the east room, Song Tian poured all the silver and money on the bed and counted them carefully twice.
Of the one hundred taels of silver he asked for from the Song family, he gave ten taels to Xie Yunzhe, spent eighty-five taels on buying medicine for Liu, and more than three taels on miscellaneous items.
The money from selling the fried tofu plus Xie Yunzhe’s fifty cents wages.
Now there is only less than two taels of silver and more than a hundred copper coins.
Song Tian was a little discouraged.
It's too little, not even enough to buy a dose of medicine for Mrs. Liu.
She thought about it and realized that she had given Xie Yunzhe ten taels of silver to pay off his debt in a fit of rage. Even though she asked him to bring some gifts to Uncle Nine, she couldn't spend all two taels.
Should I come back?
Xie Yunzhe, who was sitting opposite and washing his feet, watched Song Tian counting the change over and over again, sometimes smiling and sometimes looking worried, which was quite interesting.
"Why, you don't understand?"
He teased.
Song Tian rolled her eyes at him and took the opportunity to say:
"I was wondering, what thank-you gift did you buy for Uncle Nine when you paid him back? Although it is said that too much gift is not a bad thing, if it is too expensive, it will add burden to the person, and make him feel that he has accepted too many favors..."
Xie Yunzhe sneered, it turned out that he wanted to ask him for money!
"I bought two fresh fish for Uncle Jiu and spent three hundred coins..."
Song Tian looked expectant:
"And the rest...?"
"I treated the foremen of the foot trade to a meal. They promised to assign me lighter tasks in the future. If there is a chance, they will also help me find a clerk position. The salary is three taels of silver or more."
Song Tian was deflated. It turned out that he had done a favor for others and it seemed that he would never come back.
"Does my wife think I'm wasting money?"
Xie Yunzhe wiped his feet and asked seriously.
Can Song Tian say yes?
"It's natural for my husband to think about his future livelihood. But if you have such expenses in the future, you should inform me first."
That's her money, her money!
When I gave him the silver, he acted as if he would not accept it out of pity, but I didn't expect that he would spend it all in the blink of an eye!
"That's what the lady said."
Xie Yunzhe responded in a good mood.
The next day, Xie Yunzhe went to work early in the morning. Song Tian went to set up a stall to sell fried tofu as usual. Liu went to Uncle Jiu's house to grind beans. Hao'er's injury had not healed yet, so he had to stay at home.
"Hao'er, be good. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. I'll buy you some candy when I get back."
Thinking about how she was almost bullied by kids from the same village yesterday, Song Tian always felt a little worried.
"I understand. Hao'er won't go out today. Just stay at home. Sister-in-law, you don't have to buy me candy. Hao'er doesn't like it. Sister-in-law, please save the money to buy medicine for mother."
Haoer said with a stern face like a little adult.
Song Tian touched his head distressedly:
"Our Hao'er is so sensible!
Sister-in-law will find a way to get the money for mother's medicine, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Today is the big market day in Xiangyang Town. The vegetable market is bustling with people and is twice as lively as yesterday.
As soon as Song Tian set up the stall, an old customer who had eaten fried tofu yesterday came forward to buy it. Many passers-by were attracted by the rich aroma of the sauce and came over to ask what was being sold.
Song Tian was quick and efficient and quickly sold out most of the goods prepared for the day.
Uncle Tieshan looked envious:
"I haven't even opened yet and you're almost sold out!"
He looked at the few pieces of tofu left behind Song Tian.
Song Tian was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and said with a smile:
"We opened the stall early today, just in time for everyone to have breakfast, so there aren't many people here right now."
Then he handed a few pieces of tofu to Uncle Tieshan:
"Uncle, you haven't had breakfast yet, come and eat something first!"
Uncle Tieshan waved his hands quickly:
"Your stuff is so good to sell, keep it and sell it for money."
Song Tian stuffed it into his hands:
"It's just a few pieces. I don't plan to sell it anymore. I'll take a break and then close the stall. I'll have to trouble Uncle Tieshan to reserve the stall for me every day. A few pieces of tofu are not worth much."
Uncle Tieshan didn't refuse anymore. He took the tofu and took a bite. It was fragrant and delicious.
She hadn't had breakfast yet, so she served herself a few pieces and ate them with a bamboo stick.
"Little girl, do you have any more fried tofu? Give me one."
While she was eating, a middle-aged man dressed very respectably in a silk gown came to her stall.
When Song Tian saw that business was coming, he quickly put down the tofu he was eating and said with a smile:
"There are some, but not much. Give me ten coppers and I'll sell them all to you."
There were still seven or eight whole pieces left in the pot, and five or six that were accidentally broken into pieces. Song Tian had originally not planned to sell them, but since someone bought them, he just packed them up and sold them together.
But this man looks like a wealthy man just by looking at his clothes, and I don’t know if he would find it disgusting or not.
"Oh, you are quite good at business, okay, then you can help me pack it all."
The man stroked his beard happily and said with a smile.
