Chapter 214
Li Qingyou was so frightened that she was at a loss as she watched the mistress's tears falling one by one.
What's going on here?
"Auntie, don't get excited. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk slowly." Li Qingyou hurriedly poured her a cup of herbal tea and pushed it to her, then looked at the wild duck eggs and wild vegetables she brought, "How about... these are yours.
Take it back and eat it yourself?"
"No, no, no, how can I do that? This is what I brought to you." The mistress waved her hands repeatedly and began to wipe her tears again, "I just feel so shameless that I can't even give this thing as a gift.
Go, but what’s the use of this? It’s not a waste of time…”
Li Qingyou looked at the mistress blankly, not understanding what she meant. She wanted to ask, but she couldn't get a word in, so she could only listen.
"I said there was smoke coming out of our ancestral graves, so my mistress met my boss's aunt, sir..." The mistress looked at Li Qingyou mixing garlic in her mouth, and didn't know whether to call her a girl or a young master. Li Qingyou looked at it.
He burst out laughing all of a sudden.
"You don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name." Li Qingyou said with a smile.
That being said, the mistress is still addressed as her boss. If she doesn't know whether to call her a girl or a young master, she just stops calling her.
"Alas, this man has a poor ambition, a short horse, a thin body and long hair, and it is difficult to live without money. The old man and I are still weak, and we take medicine every three days..." The mistress said a lot of miscellaneous words, but the central idea was just one word:
poverty.
In addition to being poor, he also boasts that his daughters and sons are capable of doing things, and each of them is as good as Liu Xiaosan.
At this point, Li Qingyou almost understood what Xiao Sanniang meant. She wanted people from their family to do the work. In fact, Adi had told her about this before, but he didn't say that Li Qingyou also had this plan.
The reason why there was no arrangement was because Manager Cao was "tyrannical" before, and he personally made all personnel arrangements. Li Qingyou didn't want to confront him, so she didn't mention it.
Besides, even if they were arranged to go in at that time, Manager Cao's behavior would probably make it difficult for them, which would be bad.
"Auntie, you..." Li Qingyou was just about to give her some reassurance when suddenly the wooden door was knocked open from the outside. Liu Xiaosan ran in sweating profusely. He saw his mother at first sight and the table at second glance.
The things on it.
Suddenly there was a buzz in his head, and Liu Xiaosan's face turned red.
He knew it.
These days, his mother has been nagging in his ears, asking him to find a job for everyone in the family, and he has taken it to heart, but he knows Li Qingyou's situation better, so he has never been embarrassed to say this.
Unexpectedly, his mother came up to kill herself, and brought these people with her...
Liu Xiaosan simply couldn't see it. Their family was poor, but they were not that poor. Wasn't this just a matter of embarrassment?
How will he behave from now on?
"Mom, why are you here?" Liu Xiaosan stepped forward and pulled his mother to leave, but his mother suddenly threw her away.
"Why can't I come?" The mistress's eyes stood up and she gave her son a hard look. He is a useless thing and follows his employer back and forth all day long. He can't handle such a small thing, so she has to go there herself.
If Li Qingyou hadn't been right next to him, she would have pinched him hard several times.
"I'm here to take a look at my boss. They take such good care of you and our family. Shouldn't I come and take a look at them?" Xiao San Niang was snapping like she was eating jumping beans. Liu Xiaosan was speechless and couldn't say a word. "How about you?"
, you have no conscience, I told you to give the things to my employer for a taste, but you just said it’s embarrassing, what’s the shame in that?”
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Li Qingyou quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "It's not shameful, this is good, I've never seen this before..."
"Listen, are you listening?" The mistress pinched her son's arm hard, "You are an incompetent coward, you are not as good as Li Er scoundrel, Li Er scoundrel will follow the clan leader until he sees the sky..."
The mistress suddenly saw Li Qingyou beside her and stopped mid-sentence.
I want to say that Li Er, the scoundrel, hangs around with Patriarch Li every day, and can get some things from home every now and then. Her son follows his boss all the time, but gets nothing out of it, and is incompetent.
Since their surname was not Li, they could not climb up to the heights of Patriarch Li, so they managed to get on the boss's tree. As a result, their own sons failed to live up to expectations, and the mistress almost went crazy with anger.
"That's not the same thing." Liu Xiaosan couldn't tell his mother, and he didn't dare to take the blame. He squatted on the ground and muttered, holding his head.
Li Qingyou had a headache from the quarrel between the two of them. Moreover, this was a ranch after all, and such a simple cabin was not soundproof, so it wouldn't be a big deal if they continued to quarrel.
"Auntie, please go back first. I know this well." Li Qingyou looked back at the things on the table, "I'll keep the things and you can take the basket back. Thank you for your kindness."
The mistress was a sensible person, and she did not hesitate to fight when her goal was achieved. She said a few more New Year greetings and left carrying a bamboo basket.
"Brother Liu San will see off my aunt for me." Li Qingyou glanced at Manager Cao who was walking outside the door, and waved to the two of them.
Liu Xiaosan took his mother out and walked a long way. His mother pinched her arm so hard that Liu Xiaosan almost jumped up with a cry of pain.
"You worthless thing, what's so shameful about this? If you don't cry about being poor, can she give you a job?" The mistress glared at her son with hatred, "She has to rush up to talk about this matter, so that we don't have to talk.
If you ask her to answer it again, it would be embarrassing if you don't tell her that the matter has not been done. You should learn from her, you will never grow so tall."
Liu Xiaosan curled his lips, thinking that just because his mother's belly was so twisted and twisted, she couldn't escape the girl's eyes, so her mother was still pretty. Ba'er felt that she had plotted against her, but she didn't know that she knew what she was thinking.
Similar.
In terms of shrewdness, which one of Guanshi Cao and Patriarch Li is not a smart person? Why don't they both ask the girl to scheme against them?
But it's useless to say this to his mother.
His father doesn't care about things at home, and his mother loves to be petty and greedy for money. His eldest brother follows his father and is obsessed with things all day long. His second brother follows his mother. If he doesn't care about this anymore, he will be embarrassed in front of the girl.
As a child, sooner or later you will cause trouble for your family.
"Mom, I just want to say something." Liu Xiaosan looked at his mother seriously for the first time since he was a child. "If anything happens at home in the future, tell me. This matter cannot happen again, or else...
…”
"What's going on?" The mistress arrived immediately.
"Otherwise, I'll tell the girl that I quit, and tell her not to use our family." Liu Xiaosan gritted his teeth and said these words. He didn't dare to look at his mother anymore, turned around and ran back, and kept running.
Even when he was out, he could hear his mother scolding him.
Li Qingyou flicked the banknotes in his hand with his fingers. They totaled three hundred and thirty taels of silver, which was half of the "profit" that Manager Cao had just sent.
Does this count as sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils, and settling the accounts at 28?
