Skillful Wife of Military - C13

Weaving cloth was the most likely way for him to make money at the moment. Naturally, Xu Hui would not give up so easily.

Xu Hui told Xiao Da Yong about his plan to build a cellar room. He dug out a square hole from the ground, built a pillar in the hole, and then along the hole walls, the eaves were more than two feet above the ground. He opened the windows to let in sunlight, weaved yarn inside, and made use of the humidity in the cellar to reduce the loss of yarn due to the dry weather in the north.

“My wife, how did you come up with such a plan?”

Xu Hui pursed her lips and smiled, “Everyone weaves cloth in Jiang Prefecture. As silk and silk are everywhere in the world, naturally there are many northern merchants. I heard that it is very far to the north, and this is how people weave cloth. Can you help me build a cellar room? It does not need to be very big, as long as we can put down the loom. There is an open space beside our house, and we can build it next to each other! ”

Xiao Da Yong laughed, “Since you really want to weave cloth, I’ll go and tell grandma that cellar room won’t be able to spend much money, so grandma will definitely agree!” Xiao Dazong excitedly walked towards the room. The Xiao family was the steward of Xiao Li’s disease, and she controlled the family’s money and food. Although Xiao Pao was the master of the family, he only cared about farming and socializing with the people outside.

Xiao Dazong’s words were relaxed, but Xu Hui was not optimistic. Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, Xu Hui already felt that this family might really be like the rumors outside, and did not see Xiao Dazong as a living person.

The greatest use of Xiao Da Yong in this family was to continue the Military, to prevent the remaining two houses, especially the Third Son’s Family, from becoming Military and to protect the peaceful days of the Xiao family. Being a soldier and getting married and having children was good for the Xiao family, but they would not allow cellar room to do this. How could a dead man need to spend any money?

There was also Xiao Da Yong’s little sister Niu Niu. If their family had a snack, they wouldn’t be able to raise a child who was almost six years old to be so petite. They wouldn’t even be able to speak properly.

Xiao Da Yong was young and joined the army very rarely. He was afraid that the situation at home was not as clear as she was seeing it from an outsider’s perspective.

Xu Hui touched Niu Niu’s face and picked up the leftover cake from the plate for her to eat. This child actually knew how to eat. It was probably because he had never eaten his fill before that he had become so skinny.

Niuniu did not understand what Xu Hui and Xiao Dayong had said. She only knew that this new sister-in-law treated her well and ate with her sister. Some people felt sorry for her and cared for her, so she stuck close to Xu Hui. The adults all thought that the children didn’t understand, but the children’s instincts were the most sensitive. She knew who was truly being nice to her.

Soon, Xiao Dayong came back, looking dejected. He did not dare to look at Xu Hui.

He never thought that his grandparents would have such a huge reaction the moment they heard that they were going to build a cellar room, especially when his grandma actually said, with tears in her eyes, that he was going to waste all the money in his family, that he had spent so much on a wife, that he was still building a useless cellar room, that his family would starve to death!

It made Xiao Da Yong’s face turn red. He did not understand, he had clearly given his monthly salary to his family, the last time he killed many barbarians, Camp had also given him 10 taels of silver, and he did not move an inch to his family. These few years had been smooth sailing, and his family’s harvest was all very good. Furthermore, with just his current salary of silver and silver, he had enough money to get a wife. How could he build a cellar room that would not even cost a few coins and cause his entire family to starve to death?

Xiao Da Yong never asked for money from his family, because he didn’t have much money before, so he never thought about saving some for himself. Xiao Da Yong never opened his mouth to ask for money from his family, because he didn’t have much money before, so he never thought about saving some money for himself. Who would have thought that the first time he would ask for money would be so embarrassing!

Xiao Da Yong even thought that since he previously said that he wouldn’t let his wife earn money, it would be enough for him to spend. But now, he couldn’t even afford to buy money from his grandma, much less his daughter-in-law. Xiao Da Yong really regretted giving all his money to his grandma, and he didn’t want to leave anything behind.

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Da Yong’s expression and did not ask anything. She opened the box on the brick bed, took out a small bag from the bottom, and handed it to Xiao Da Yong saying, “This is the money that my family gave me before we were married. It should be enough to save a bit of money for the cellar room.

“That won’t do. I can’t use your dowry. I’ll think of another way, don’t worry about me!” Xiao Da Yong felt extremely embarrassed. His wife had opened the box on her first day and used the dowry to buy money. People always said that when a man marries a man, he will eat with his clothes on. Yet, he himself was actually so vile that he couldn’t even find a cellar room for his wife.

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Dazong’s awkward expression and wanted to laugh. In ancient times, filial piety was the rule of the family members. Having grown up in this family, it was not easy for Xiao Dazong to ask for money for her. Of course, according to what Xu Hui thought, if the couple married, they would have a better relationship, but Xu Hui also knew that since it was ancient times, even if they were separated, as long as you were still a family, others would see you as a family. Just like Qiao Jieer, the whole family’s actions were always recorded in everyone’s mind, and like Qiao Jieer, he had never taken any of the family’s direct descendants, but was directly implicated in their exile.

It was a must for her to live a good life as long as the old man was alive. From the beginning, Xu Hui had never wanted the Xiao family to pay for her to build a cellar room because she had never intended to share the benefits of weaving with the Xiao family.

Therefore, it would be best if she created this cellar room herself. This way, even if she earned money from weaving, the Xiao family wouldn’t be able to directly take it from her.

Xu Hui had thought about everything but Xiao Dayong’s feelings. Now that he saw the dark expression on Xiao Dayong’s face, she felt uncomfortable. She pretended to be angry and snorted, “I don’t think you’re treating me as your wife!”

Xiao Dayong was startled and quickly raised his head to wave his hand, “No, no, I’m not!” How could he dare? Such a good wife, she came to his side as if she was in a dream. He didn’t even have the time to feel pain, how could he not treat her as his own wife?

“Since you take me as your wife, then are we family? Since we’re family, why should we share it with each other? My weaving is our own affair, so what’s wrong with using my dowry? If you don’t want me to be your wife, then what does it mean? ” Xu Hui turned around and did not look at Xiao Dayong, but an awkward and angry wife.

Xiao Dazong was extremely anxious. He walked to Xu Hui, walked around him, raised his arm and lowered it. He opened and closed his mouth, but did not know what to say. He wished he could pull out his heart and show it to Xu Hui.

Niuniu hugged Xiao Dayong’s leg and tugged on Xu Hui’s sleeve, shouting, “No, no!”

Xu Hui was amused. She picked up Niu Niu and hooked her nose, “You don’t want me to get angry with your brother?” “You little girl, you know it a lot better than your brother. Fine, sister-in-law won’t be angry, let your brother quickly take the silver and go work for your sister-in-law!”

Niu Niu really turned her head and waved at Xiao Dayong, “Go! “Go!”

“I’ll give you half of my salary from now on, I’ll give you all the silver. I’ll give you all the time when I’m not at home, how much can you and Niu Niu use for food and drinks, we’ll give you enough. I’ll get someone to build you a cellar room, and I’ll definitely give you a proper cover.

Since Xiao Da Yong insisted, Xu Hui did not say anything else. He did not know what the Xiao family would think, but it had nothing to do with her. Since the Xiao family did not see Xiao Da Yong as a living person, how could Xu Hui ever see them as human beings?

Xiao Da Yong’s vacation ended after he returned three days later. Naturally, he had to make the best use of his time. After greeting the Xiao Pao and the others, Xiao Da Yong busied himself with going out.

After dinner, Xiao Da Yong had his men pull a cart full of bricks and found a few youths from the village to help build the cellar room together.

Although Xiao Dayong was not at home, he was still quite well-known in the Iron Armor Guard. Furthermore, he was an outspoken, loyal, and warm-hearted person. Thus, he was quite popular among the village’s younger generation.

The Xiao Pao and the Xiao Li’s disease were naturally dissatisfied with Xiao Da Yong and Xu Hui insisting on building the cellar room, but since Xu Hui had offered his dowry silver, they could not say anything about it. Seeing that her elders did not say a word, the He’s was not satisfied, but continued to mock Xu Hui and the rest. In order to not cause trouble, Xiao He and Zhang family hid in his own house and did not reveal themselves, but no one from his family came to help Xiao Da Yong and the rest.

Xiao Da Yong felt even more uncomfortable and was even more determined to cover up cellar room. He suddenly realized that he was at home, as was everyone else in his family, but how hard it must have been for his wife and Niu Niu when he was not at home. He hadn’t felt anything was wrong with her before, but now that he thought about it, could it be that he hadn’t properly taken care of her before, and he had earned so much money, but his sister still hadn’t eaten her fill?

Xiao Da Yong felt extremely upset. He felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. He couldn’t help but want to question his family, but after thinking about his wife’s words, it would be difficult for her to stay at home and cause too much trouble. Xiao Dazong could only suppress his anger, venting all his frustration on the tassels in his hands.

A group of youngsters worked hard and hard until the middle of the night. The hole had already been dug, and they only had to wait until the next day to build the wall. Xiao Dazong looked at the juniors who were helping and rubbed his hands in embarrassment. According to the customs of the village, those who came to help would not pay, but the main family would treat them with food and drinks. However, Xiao Dazong looked at his family members who had yet to appear, and the locked kitchen. He couldn’t find anything to eat to entertain the helpers, so he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

At that moment, a soft and melodious voice suddenly rang out, “Husband, you’ve finished your work. Why don’t you come wash up and eat something?”

Xiao Da Yong turned his head and saw Xu Hui standing at the door smiling and waving at them.

When everyone came to work, Xu Hui only said hello before taking Niu Niu to hide in her room and let Xiao Da Yong take care of what was happening outside. Xiao Dazong was naturally very satisfied with his wife taking the initiative to avoid him. His wife was so good-looking, he did not want to be looked down upon by the others at all.

Now that Xu Hui had suddenly appeared at the door of the room, standing there under the dim moonlight, her plain clothes looked as beautiful as a painting, stunning all of the students.
