Stingy Husband Farming

Chapter 9 32 Silver

"Did you go to Renshi in the county by yourself this afternoon?"

Mrs. Liu's face turned black again, three taels of silver, what kind of a good person is worth three taels?She was only 11 years old at the time, and she sold it for four taels of silver! The adult man for three taels of silver was probably either a little disabled or an old man who was too old to do manual labor.

Mrs. Liu looked at Shen Mu very ironically.My brother is good at everything, but he doesn't care much about the marriage, and I blame her family for raising him as a boy since he was a child, so that this child doesn't know how important a man is to a brother exists.

My little brother knows how to dress up pretty when he is fifteen or sixteen years old, and he knows how to blush when he sees a handsome man. My little brother is fifteen or sixteen years old and follows a group of boys to climb trees and fish, he is skinnier than boys!

"You actually went to the people's market by yourself? What do you mean when you don't go out and go to see people by yourself? Besides, if you want to buy it, you have to buy a good one, well-educated, handsome, and well-behaved, um... …It’s okay to be younger, we will raise ourselves when we come back, and after three years of filial piety, we will get married..." Mrs. Liu fell into fantasy.

Shen Mu saw one of that kind of white and clean boy in the morning today, and he was going to sell it to a scholar to be a book boy. It would cost tens of taels, Shen Mu couldn't bear it, would he be able to work when he bought it? waste?So he argued: "How can it be such a coincidence to meet someone with all four corners? Besides, how can our family have so much money? Let me say that it is best to choose a cheap and affordable one..."

Shen Mu's stingy temper broke out again.He wants to buy a husband, but in the final analysis, is it to save money and protect the family property?Spend the least amount of money to achieve the maximum benefit!

If he gets married, all the dowry will go to his husband's house, which is too bad; if he finds an ordinary husband-in-law, wouldn't it be even worse if that person wants to subsidize his family later?

It's better to buy a person who has nothing to worry about and come back. With the deed of sale, this person is his property in itself, and he can work for a bite of food. If he makes himself unhappy, he can sell it and get another one!

For Shen Mu, buying someone back is just to keep the family property, and the husband-in-law is just a title.He didn't understand what happened between husband and wife at all, and he didn't have the consciousness to spend his life with each other at all.

What is love and what is like, Shen Mu has lived for 17 years and has not yet experienced it.

Mrs. Liu hated iron for being weak, and poked his finger on his head: "What do you know? There is a reason why you are expensive, and that is the person you have to spend your whole life with! Don't worry about money, no matter how bad it is, you still have your father." Those 30 taels of silver..."

Shen Mu knew that his mother would put her mind on that sum of money, and she was very unhappy in her heart, "That was paid for by my father's life, so don't move."

"Why can't you move? You need to use it! Even if your father is alive in heaven, he would like you to spend the rest of his life with a good man." Thinking of her man, Liu felt uncomfortable again. "Okay, go and clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Let's go to town together tomorrow morning to have a look. You can't be sloppy in picking people..."

Mrs. Liu was thinking about the family's money in her heart, thinking about going to the town tomorrow to buy Shen Mu a good husband.But she knew that if some officials committed crimes, the young masters in the family who were under fourteen would also be sold.I met her in Renshi when she was sold back then, and I heard that they were both well-educated and literate, and they all looked very good.Although he is a little young, fortunately Shen Mu is not very old, besides, Shen Mu still has 27 months of filial piety to be filial piety, wouldn't it be good to get the household registration first, and then consummate the house after the filial piety period is over?In the past few years, he can still develop a relationship with Shen Mu.

Alas, people say that when this girl and brother reach their age, they should think and have sex. Even when she met Boss Shen at her master's house, she was in love with him. Like wood?

People are afraid that their children will learn badly, but she hates her children for not being enlightened... Mrs. Liu has a headache.

Shen Mu was also thinking about it in his heart. "Mother, you haven't been feeling well for the past few days. I'll go by myself tomorrow." He has a problem since he was a child. He is very fussy about money, to the point of being stingy, and he doesn’t spend money if he doesn’t spend it, and he especially likes saving and counting money.

If he didn't bring a son-in-law back, his house might be taken away by the old house, so he was reluctant to spend money to buy a husband-in-law back.Now that his mother said that he wanted to buy an expensive one, Shen Mu felt that his heart was bleeding.

Mrs. Liu glared at him: "Go by yourself, shall I wait for you to buy a disabled one or one older than me? Then our family will just wait to be laughed at by the villagers."

Shen Mu didn't take it seriously, one can't always live for the eyes of others, but ignore one's own life.The one with three taels of silver is not very smart, and he lost some weight due to hunger. It is enough to be a man who can work...

It's a pity that Mrs. Liu didn't listen to him at all, and kept driving him to wash the dishes.Shen Mu is a filial child, and he doesn't want to disobey his mother's wishes, so he can only persuade him tomorrow, buy a cost-effective one, and then seek compensation from other places.

Alas, it's a pity, Shen Mu still thinks that the two-and-a-half is the best deal...

But they didn't expect that the next day, before the two of them had time to go to the county, people from the Shen family's old house came to the door again.The person who came was old man Shen, he purposely woke up early in the morning, just not wanting others to see him going to Shen Mu's house again.It's not that he didn't know how to lose face because of the disturbance yesterday. Although his parents insisted that everything in the world was wrong, his old face would turn red when the villagers stared and talked about it.

In the house, Mrs. Liu hid the family's large sum of money close to her body, and packed a small basket with some scattered copper coins, and covered it with a piece of coarse cloth, so that others could not see what was in the basket, and could still buy it. Block ash.

Liu's spirit is much better today.Since her husband's sudden death, Liu has been hit physically and mentally, and has been very weak.Talking with Shen Mu for a long time yesterday gave her new hope for life.

Those who have gone have already gone, but life has to go on.She also has a son, who is only 17 years old.If she fell too, what would her son do?

Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong.After Mrs. Liu figured it out, her health was mostly healed.Early in the morning, before dawn, I hurriedly packed my things and went to the Renshi in the county.It's just that the mother and son had just packed up and hadn't gone out when there was a knock on the door first.

Liu frowned.

Recently, it's really no good to come to the door, and good things don't come to the door.She frowned subconsciously when she heard the knock on the door.

Mrs. Liu turned around and locked the small basket containing the scattered money back into the cabinet beside the bed, "Mu Geer, go and see who it is?"

Going to the door of a widow like her early in the morning before dawn is also very sightless.Miss Liu was in a very bad mood because she missed going to the city to buy a husband-in-law for her son.

She had just locked the cabinet at this end when she heard Shen Mu's voice greeting someone in the yard: "Master, why are you here?"

Old man Shen didn't get angry when he heard this. So, this is his son's home, so he can't come? !She didn't pay attention to Shen Mu, let out a heavy snort, put on the airs of an elder and walked into the house sullenly.

When Mrs. Liu heard that Old Man Shen had come to the door, she felt even more irritable.She and Old Man Shen had a feud, and the festivities were not small.So Mrs. Liu has never had a good look at this couple, and she is not afraid of them.

Mrs. Liu didn't want to waste time on Old Man Shen, so she didn't want to delay the two of them from going to town.Then he directly raised the curtain on the door, blocking the door and even preventing Old Shen from entering the room. "Dad came here before dawn. Now that brother Wen is gone, it's hard for me, a widow, to let dad in."

The implication is that it's still dark, why do you, a husband, sneak into your daughter-in-law's house?

"What are you talking about!" Not to mention Old Man Shen was so angry that he jumped, even Shen Mu was startled.Did this, these words come out of the mouth of his well-educated, gentle and virtuous mother?

Seeing Shen Mu's surprised expression, Mrs. Liu blushed a little.It is indeed not her usual style to say such things... But for a shameless person like Old Man Shen, you can only restrain him if you are more shameless than him. If you are a little weaker, he will kick your nose in the face .

Mrs. Liu coughed lowly: "I just want to remind dad that it's inconvenient to be in the house, so you better not come in."

When old man Shen came, he brought his long pipe and pot with him in order to put on airs of his elder.Originally, he wanted to sit in the main room, take a few puffs of cigarettes quietly, and then talk to these two people who had no elders in their eyes, but now they didn't even enter the door, and the yard was cleaned up. Where to sit?

If you don't sit, you won't be so imposing smoking while standing, and if you don't smoke while holding a pipe, it's even more ridiculous...

Old man Shen rolled his eyes, walked to the edge of the well, and sat down on the edge of the well.

Shen Mu's eyelids twitched: "Master, be careful, it's dangerous." Don't fall.

Old man Shen became even angrier.By the time he lighted his cigarette pipe and pot slowly, Shen Mu and Liu Shi were already very impatient.Changing her old habit of closing her door, Mrs. Liu went directly to open her own door.When it is daylight, if someone gets up early to work in the field, he can see the situation in the yard clearly when he passes by his house.

Old man Shen held his breath, and said to Mrs. Liu: "The boss is gone, and you brought me the 30 taels of silver that the gambling house paid."

Shen Mu retorted subconsciously: "Why?"

She was slapped on the head by Mrs. Liu: "What are you calling out in front of your father? Do you want to be called a rascal?" Even though he plans to buy someone back to be his brother-in-law, Mrs. Liu still doesn't want Shen Mu's reputation to be damaged. It's not good to talk back to his grandfather and spread the word.She opened the door wide on purpose to let everyone see how shameless Old Man Shen is, not to let people see how "prestige" her son is.

Shen Mu was pressed down by Mrs. Liu, and he scratched his head in aggrieved manner and dared not make a sound.Old man Shen was a little satisfied, this is what an elder should be like to him!

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu held Shen Mu down, but she turned around and said to old man Shen, "Father, why?"

The author has something to say: Mrs. Liu is generally a relatively gentle and even cowardly person, but for an old couple from Shangshen, her combat effectiveness is beyond the charts. There is a reason, which will be mentioned later
