The Landlord And His Wife

When Liu Xuer and Shicheng returned home in the evening, Liu Xuer told Liu Sen's outlook on life and said with a smile: "Others may be busy and work hard for a lifetime to understand the truth. understand."

Shi Cheng smiled and said: "Senzi is quite understanding, but he is too smart at a young age, which is good or bad... It depends on how he grasps it."

Liu Xuer nodded: "Of course we have to look at it, anyway, we have experienced things that others have not experienced."

Shicheng laughed and put her arms around her and went to bed: "So, life is too short, so be happy!"

It's New Year's Eve.

I went back to Hanzhong in the twelfth lunar month a year ago and stayed there until the first day of the first lunar month. Shicheng accompanied Liu Xuer back to her mother's house on the second day of the first lunar month. The Liu family had prepared a rich table for them. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate Shicheng, he was pulled away by Liu Lin with a smile: "Let's go, let's raise your brother-in-law! Let's discuss the merger of the shops!"

Shicheng was taken aback: "What? Which merger?"

Liu Lin sneered: "Don't worry! I don't want to merge with you, I have discussed with my eldest brother, it's time to reorganize a few shops, open a few big ones, and close the smaller ones. At the workshop, someone from Hanzhong Palace has come to ask for the goods, let's discuss whether to give it or not, and how will Xu'er's shop develop in the future."

Shicheng suddenly followed with a smile.

Liu Xuer smiled and entered the wing room here. Now it has become an unwritten rule. The wing room here is where the women stay, just like when they were in Taohua Village.

Liu Xuer entered the room when she saw Mrs He holding the hand of the aunt and saying something. Seeing Liu Xu'er coming in, Mrs He hurriedly said, "Xu'er, go and find Xiuxiu."

Liu Xuer guessed a little, smiled and nodded in agreement, came out for a walk, was about to ask Moriko, saw Xiuxiu, but heard someone calling her at the corner door next to her.

Liu Xuer turned to look, saw Liu Tao, stood there scratching her head, she hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Third brother?"

Liu Tao scratched his head and stammered: "Xiuxiu is here... We'll ask you to discuss something..."

Liu Xuer hurriedly nodded: "Okay!" Followed to the house in the side yard, I was already guessing, maybe the aunt didn't want it? Was your mother persuading just now?

Entering the room here, and seeing Xiuxiu really sitting in the room, she saw her hurriedly stood up, her face was blushing before she spoke, she murmured, "Cousin."

Liu Xuer smiled and pulled her to sit down: "Well, what are you looking for?" Looking up at Liu Tao, Liu Tao also entered the room and sat on the chair, a little embarrassed and temporarily lowered his head head.

Xiu Xiu also lowered her head.

Liu Xuer thought for a while, and was about to try to ask first, Liu Tao had raised his head and said embarrassingly: "Xuer, I want to ask you for help... I think... I want to marry Xiu. Xiu..." After saying this, he paused, not knowing what to say next.

Liu Xuer laughed 'puchi': "If you want to marry, ask your uncle and aunt to tell me... Is there any difficulty?" At the end, she asked a question that she understood.

Liu Tao was embarrassed by her smile, but he let go, nodding his head and saying: "Xiuxiu's mother is not willing, the matchmaker has gone a few times, but she doesn't. When she spoke, Xiu Xiu's grandparents nodded, but Xiu Xiu Niang didn't say anything."

Liu Xuer paused and asked, "Third brother, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Tao hurriedly said: "I want to ask you to help me talk about it, I know why Xiu Xiu Niang is, maybe I know that my mother is still looking for me..."

"What?" Liu Xuer was surprised, she didn't know about it: "Your mother... is still looking for you?" But after asking this sentence, she already answered it herself. After all, Mrs. Ma is Liu Tao's biological mother! Not to mention Ma's behavior, with a rich son like Liu Tao, he will definitely not let go, and as Liu Tao, he can't really let go, that would be a bit too unfilial.

Liu Tao nodded and said embarrassingly: "I have been looking for me for a long time, I promised to give a hundred wen every month... Then it is my mother, I can't look at her..."

Liu Xuer has waved her hand and said: "Third brother, this really doesn't need to be explained! We are all about the same age, and this idea is similar. If you want to change my position in your position, I will also take care of it. , after all, she is her own mother, so how could she just ignore it." After she finished speaking, seeing that Liu Tao nodded in relief, she smiled and said, "But third brother, you are very thoughtful! Every month Give a hundred wen, that's the best! There are some things I can't say, but if you give more at one time, you may want more and more..."

Liu Tao smiled bitterly, glanced at Xiuxiu and said, "What is thoughtful, what I worry about is actually what has already happened, and I have learned a lesson, I can't harden my heart very much. Give."

Liu Xuer was surprised for a while, then sighed and nodded.

Liu Tao continued: "For a while, my mother always came to the shop to ask me for money, I think she was seen by the delivery person from the workshop, and went back and told my aunt... I think my aunt is worried It should be this, I am afraid that I will be held in the palm of my mother's hand... In fact, how can I be! I am already so old, and I am not stupid!"

Liu Xuer thought about it and asked: "Third brother, are you sure that the aunt is because of this?"

Liu Tao hadn't spoken yet when Xiuxiu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head, blushing and said, "It's because of this that I once quietly heard my mother tell my father. I've..." She saw Liu Xuer pursed her lips and smiled, knowing what she was smiling, she blushed and turned away, but she still finished: "My father originally said yes, he said that Brother Tao is a good boy... But my mother is muttering..."

At a young age, she is a little resentful towards her mother.

Liu Xuer nodded, looked at them both and said with a smile: "Third brother, Xiuxiu, don't worry, I saw my mother talking to my aunt over there when I first came here. , I think it is also persuading, wait for me to listen, if I can get in, I will definitely help you."

Speaking, she stood up, and smiled and tapped Xiuxiu's forehead: "Don't have grievances with auntie! That child's marriage, the mother is the most worrying and thinking. Yes, your mother is all for you! My eldest brother and the second brother's marriage, my mother is also sighing and sighing all day long."

Xiuxiu's face turned even redder, she pouted and looked up at Liu Tao, seeing that Liu Tao was only looking at her, although she didn't speak, Xiuxiu immediately stopped pouting, lowered her head and hummed Humming and agreeing: "I see, cousin...not in the future."

Liu Xuer is really funny, this Xiuxiu was completely eaten by the third brother! Fortunately, I can believe that the third brother will definitely not bully Xiuxiu in the future.

She smiled and gestured to the two and came out. As soon as I came out, I really scratched my head a little, the big aunt didn't really talk about it, it's not my mother! Besides, I was able to persuade my mother when I was at her mother's house, but it was also because I always liked to make up my mind when I was young, and I was willing to talk a little bit about everything, but my aunt didn't necessarily like this.

If you think about it, come and listen.

So he came to the door of the wing, coughed, and came in with a smile.

He and Xiu Xiu Niang were still in the room. When they saw her coming in, they stopped. He said, "You didn't find Xiu Xiu?"

Liu Xuer nodded quickly: "I found it! I'm here to find something, a book of Moriko... It's in this room, it seems to be there, I'll look for it." Said Pretending to be rummaging around in the house.

He's and Xiu Xiuniang were waiting for her to find out at first, but seeing her poking around in the house, she even had to drag out the corners of the box to find it. He couldn't find it for a while. He was in a hurry and couldn't wait any longer, and continued to Xiu Xiu Niang: "It's mainly the child's own intentions, you are not Xiu Xiu... Think about it, if you really want to be unhappy , forced to break it up, and in the future, if the person you are looking for is a little unhappy, you will complain that you didn't agree to her?

When Liu Xuer heard this sentence, she was sure that her mother was helping to make peace. It was about moving out what her father had persuaded her to say. Look at the dry mouth that mother said over there. With a dry tongue, the aunt still has a hesitant expression on her face, frowning very worried. Liu Xuer knows in her heart that if the aunt's worries are not explained clearly, she will definitely hesitate and will not agree.

So he came over, sat by the kang with a smile and asked, "Mother, auntie, what about Xiuxiu's marriage?"

He was about to wave her away, when Liu Xuer was busy smiling and said, "Mother! I just found Xiuxiu! I know a little..."

Xiu Xiu Niang raised her head to look at her: "Xiu Xiu... is she talking to your third brother... what are you talking about?"

Liu Xuer smiled and said: "Auntie, let me be honest, the third brother really asked me to ask me to help talk, I promised, but I did. When I think about it, I am also a junior, how can this matter have any weight in front of the elders?"

He hurriedly said: "Then you still..."

Liu Xuer was busy again: "But auntie, I know what you are worried about, even if the third brother doesn't say it, I want to say... You are Xiuxiu's mother, Naturally, it is from Xiuxiu's standpoint, but if you can think about it from the standpoint of the third brother, you will know that he can only do this. After all, that woman is the mother of the third brother. Those are the people who are ruthless, ruthless and unfilial! Such a person, you really don't worry about giving Xiuxiu to him."

Xiu Xiu Niang sighed and said: "Of course, the aunt is not unreasonable, I don't think he is in charge of his mother, it's just... Who doesn't know who his mother is? You want to peel off a layer of skin! Liu Tao has such a mother, and he will have to be exploited by her for the rest of his life. Also, if Xiuxiu gave you the third brother, then the woman would be Xiuxiu's mother-in-law. If she finds Xiuxiu in the future Show..." He shook his head at this point.

He said anxiously: "What are you worried about? That Liu Tao is stupid? Does he know how to protect his daughter-in-law? Besides, how can that woman be so easy..." She was in a hurry Persuade, but not to the point of persuasion.

Liu Xuer hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie is really relieved about this. The third brother explained to me just now that when the woman first looked for him, she was deceived because she was soft-hearted. It's been a few times... Speaking of which, there's nothing I can do about it. When my mother comes to seek death, she can only give in! But my mother is right, the third brother is really not stupid! He will not be blackmailed by this woman all his life, and he himself will not be blackmailed. I'll think about it!"

"What can he do if he thinks?" said the aunt.

Liu Xuer laughed: "Auntie, don't underestimate the third brother, the third brother has been in business for as long as my eldest and second brothers, and has been in business for so many years, is this Don't you have any flexibility? The third brother has already said it, and I have agreed with the woman that I will give you a hundred wen every month, and if I don't give more, don't think about anything else. "
