Chapter 1014: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (3)
At the beginning, Xiao Gencai found it fresh, but after a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little bored.
After all, the first wife was very capable and he didn't have to worry about anything, but Yue Niang was not like that.
"What on earth do you want to say?" Xiao Gencai said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it quickly. I've worked all day and I'm tired and hungry!"
Hearing the word "hungry," Yue Niang's shoulders shuddered. But she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "There's no food at home. Do you have any money?"
"There's no rice or flour left at home?" Xiao Gencai said in disbelief, "But didn't I just buy some food a few days ago?"
Yue Niang pursed her lips and said nothing, just lowered her head in silence.
Faced with his timid and taciturn wife, Xiao Gencai really had no choice but to take out a bunch of money from his pocket and said, "Go buy some noodles and make steamed bread.
Take the dried meat off the beam and cut it into small pieces.
First, make the soup, and when the oil comes out, take out the meat and stir-fry it with some green vegetables!"
After explaining everything, Xiao Gencai felt physically tired and even more mentally tired, so he wanted to go back to his room to rest. However, when he turned around, he saw Yue Niang still standing in the yard, motionless.
"You are going to..." Xiao Gencai, who was furious, turned around immediately and wanted to teach his wife a lesson, but he met Yue Niang's tearful eyes and could only say awkwardly, "What are you doing? I didn't hit you."
Yue Niang didn't say anything, she just threw herself into her husband's arms and cried.
At this moment, the neighbor who had been listening to the whole thing from his room leaned out the window and said, "Still looking for jerky! Why don't you go check if there's any left?"
"Aunt Wu, what do you mean?" Xiao Gencai didn't understand why the other party said that. "I bought that dried meat for emergency use. I usually don't want to eat it. How could it be gone?"
After saying this, he looked at Aunt Wu suspiciously.
"Are you sick? Are you trying to say I took it?" Aunt Wu sneered. "Please, I'm your landlord after all. Even though I'm not doing as well as before, I still need a piece of your meat."
Aunt Wu has two houses in Yanzhou Prefecture. One of them is bigger than this yard and has a good location.
This house is where the Wu family lived before they became rich. It can accommodate the whole family even if they squeeze together.
In the past two years, Aunt Wu's husband has been in poor health and can no longer do business. In order to increase income and reduce expenditure, the Wu family simply rented out the big house they originally lived in.
My husband and I moved back here.
Originally, the Xiao family was going to be kicked out when they moved back, but Xiao Gencai said that he only needed two and a half rooms - the other half was a half-built house that was later used as a kitchen.
Aunt Wu later thought about it and agreed. Since her daughter was married and her son had not yet started a family, their family only needed two rooms, so she let the Xiao family stay.
Yue Niang is not a bold person, and neither is Xiao Gencai. Knowing that he had just offended the landlord, he almost instantly said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Wu, I'm not angry with you, I'm just angry.
You know, money is hard to come by these days, and with all my money, those dried meat strips are very important to me."
Since they were all short of money, Aunt Wu did not continue the topic and even told Xiao Gencai the whole story of the dried meat incident.
It turned out that when the Xiao family was sending holiday gifts to the private school teacher today, since they were not well-off at the moment, they really couldn't come up with anything decent.
Xiao Jianlu was so worried that he could only pace back and forth at home.
Although the teacher is not picky, I gave him something worthless last time and my classmates laughed at me for a long time.
After learning from his mistakes, Xiao Jianlu ran into the kitchen while his mother was out washing clothes, took the dried meat from the beam and ran away.
Fortunately, what he did was seen by Aunt Wu. Otherwise, when Xiao Gencai came to investigate, Yue Niang would not be able to explain herself even if she had mouths all over her body.
"Mr. Xiao, if you can't afford to send your son to school, forget it. He can still make a living by learning a craft from you." Aunt Wu actually felt that Xiao Gencai was too obsessed with certain things. "Look at the Ning family,
Although they rented my house before, they now have their own house. My son and daughter can both read and write. My son is already a beginner craftsman, and my daughter’s embroidery skills are also excellent. But your Xiao Jianlu... "
First of all, it’s important to know whether one is knowledgeable or not, and then one can put on an air of superiority.
"It's okay. For the sake of my child's future, I don't care what happens to me!" Xiao Gencai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go buy some noodles first! We can make some noodle soup to fill our stomachs."
Yue Niang wiped away her tears, wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, and went out to buy rice and flour.
Aunt Wu glanced at Yue Niang's back and said nothing more.
Others can save her temporarily, but not forever. If she can't stand up on her own, no matter how many times you help her, the result will be the same.
But no one expected that Yue Niang seemed like a different person as soon as she went out. She first bought herself a vegetarian bun, then wandered around half the market before buying rice and flour.
