Skillful Wife of Military - C16

Xiao Da’s temple throbbed with pain. Listening to how the Xiao Li’s disease’s scolding got worse, he couldn’t help but yell, “Milk!”

Xiao Li’s disease was shocked. When he saw Xiao Da Yong’s eyes turn red and his face filled with killing intent, he could not help but shrink back. After a while, he forced himself to berate: “Why are you shouting so loudly?”

He pursed his lips and said with a deep voice: “I’m married now, and Niu Niu will be taken care of by my wife. From now on, half of my salary will be paid to grandpa as gifts, half will be used for our own expenses, my family will not work, and I will not eat anything that comes from the land. We will live our own lives like this!”

Xiao Li’s disease opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiao Da Yong in disbelief. Just as he was about to berate him, Xiao Pao knocked on his pipe and suddenly opened his mouth: “Da Yong, are you splitting up your family?”

Xiao Dazong thought about what Xu Hui had told him before he came and shook his head, “No, I did not split up, and I did not dare to split up. Since I entered the camp at the age of sixteen, all the money I made was given to my father’s milk, and yesterday my wife said that she wanted to weave cloth to help me share my household expenses, and I told her that I wanted to build a cellar room, and she scolded me for spending all my family money. But Master, the money I earned all these years is more than twenty liang. “Since it’s troublesome, I don’t dare to trouble myself anymore. In the future, we can take care of our own affairs. Also, I just found out now that Niuniu actually likes cakes and meat!”

Xiao Pao looked at Xiao Da Yong. He was acutely aware that his grandson, who had always been honest, had changed, and although these words sounded soft, they were actually strong, and even made a lot of sense. Even if other people heard this, they would only say that the Da Yong family was being harsh on them.

When she heard Xiao Da Yong’s last sentence, which was as flat as a popped balloon, she did feel a little guilty, but in the blink of an eye, she felt that she did not do anything wrong. With so many people in the family, and so many grandchildren, and Niu Niu a little girl, she had already stuttered pretty well.

Xiao Li’s disease moved his lips and was about to open his mouth, when Xiao Pao knocked on his pipe again and said: “Da Yong, you must know, your Third Uncle is going to participate in the hometown examination right now, and is spending a lot of money. This is a big matter for our family, and only your Third Uncle has a future, so we can live a good life, and you don’t have to go to war and suffer, and you don’t have to pay money for it.

Although the food and drinks in the family were under Xiao Li’s disease’s control, he was still the head of the family, so he could only listen. Xiao Da Yong did not succeed in his goal, but after thinking about Xu Hui’s words, he did not say anything else. Since neither side had any objections, it was settled.

There were bricks and mud on the floor, and it was easy to build a small stove. The broken furniture in the house was torn down to make windows, some thatch was added to the ceiling, and at dusk, the cellar room and stove that Xu Hui was yearning for were all set up.

The secret door to the cellar room that Xiao Dazong had made from his room was also prepared. This way, Xu Hui could directly go to the cellar room from his room at night. It was very convenient for Dong Tianleng. With his own stove, as well as the cellar room that could be used to weave cloth, Xu Hui Xin suddenly felt much more at ease.

This morning, Xu Hui brought Niu Niu to the neighbor who bought food yesterday.

She had asked Xiao Da Yong for his surname. It was also Zhao. It was the hometown of the village. Xiao Jia Village was a large village. There were almost two hundred households in the village, which were jointly managed by Li Chang and a few village elders. From Xu Hui’s point of view, this village elder was probably like the current leader of the administrative village. The entire village was managed by the village chief, who divided the village into several teams.

Although they could not be considered officials, the village elders had a high degree of authority over ordinary villagers. Whether it was the work assigned to them or the building of houses, all of it was decided by the village elders. The two families were clearly neighbors, but they kept very little contact with each other. It seemed that the Xiao Pao thought his son was child student, and as he was old, this village elder should be him, but he did not expect that the last person chosen for the village would be Old Master Zhao, and since the Xiao Pao and the Xiao Li’s disease felt that they had lost face, they did not want their family members to interact more with the Zhao Family.

Xu Hui found it extremely funny. It was the first time she went to a neighbor’s house yesterday, and everyone in the house seemed to be getting along well. As for the Xiao family, Xiao Li’s disease would never forgive her mouth and she was also a sarcastic person. It was only natural that she knew which family the villagers would be more willing to interact with. Xiao Pao did not choose a village elder and did not interact with others.

Since Xu Hui was going to live in the Xiao Jia Village, she naturally needed to build a good relationship with the people around him. She did not expect the Xiao family to be like this, but she could not live her life by herself without seeing anything.

Therefore, Xu Hui decided to walk around the Zhao Family and talk to them at least for a bit. However, she didn’t expect that Zhao family’s boss’s daughter-in-law would be extremely happy when she heard that she wanted to weave cloth.

It turned out that the Zhao family’s old lady had passed away a year ago. Now, the daughter-in-law in charge was the Zhao family’s eldest daughter-in-law. Her surname was Wei, so Xu Hui called her Aunt Wei. Aunt Wei’s brother was a peddler. He usually went to the houses to sell some yarn and also bought some yarn to the cloth shops in the town. If Xu Hui could weave cloth, not only would they have buyers, but they could also sell some yarn for their brother.

Hearing this, Xu Hui promised that as long as the yarn in Aunt Wei’s house was good, she would use her own yarn in the future.

Aunt Wei was even more happy when she heard Xu Hui say that the family had already agreed to open fire and needed to buy some daily necessities. She quickly changed her clothes, put on the oxcart and took Xu Hui to the town to buy some things.

The Xiao Jia Village was only two hours away from the Stone Bridge Town. Xu Hui had not bought anything since they arrived, and at the Xu Family, Xu Jingan had been sick to the ground and did not dare to leave her body easily.

Therefore, this was Xu Hui’s first time out shopping. She was curious about everything along the way. Niuniu, who had never been out before, stared with her eyes wide open as she sat on the oxcart and looked around curiously.

Aunt Wei took Xu Hui to a familiar grocery store in town. Her brother always bought from here, so she was very familiar with the shopkeeper.

Xu Hui saw that although this grocery store was not big, there were pots, pans, needles, knobs, seasonings and other things. These were all what she needed right now and were all recommended by Aunt Wei.

When they were getting married, Xu Jingan asked Xu Hui to bring ten silver for their dowry. Naturally, Xu Hui refused to take it. At that time, the Feng’s disease secretly engaged Xu Hui’s marriage and ran away after taking the betrothal money. Unknowingly, she found the Third Son’s Family of the Xu family and spent some silver to buy a gift for him. When she saw the old lady of the Third Son’s Family of the Xu family, she heard that Xu Hui was betrothed to her and gave him some jewelry as a gift.

Ann’s and Zhou’s saw that although the jewelry was not very exquisite, it was still better than the coarse jewelry at the market. Thus, they decided to use Xu Hui as a dowry without him knowing.

The cellar room and the stove cost two or seven taels of silver, and Xu Hui still had three taels of silver with him. She was afraid that it was not enough, so she wore a pair of bracelets on her way out to find a jewelry store to exchange for money.

Luckily, the prices in the town were cheap. It only cost two silver coins to buy pots, pans, and seasonings. Xu Hui could not help but feel relieved. It seemed like she still had enough money on her.

Due to the large amount of purchases, the grocery store had even sent employees to help Xu Hui deliver the goods to the ox-cart. Xu Hui sighed with emotion. No matter which dynasty it was, the business people all had their own ways of getting customers.

After buying all these, Xu Hui still had to buy some oil. Although the Xiao Li’s disease didn’t dare to go against his wishes and gave his some food, she didn’t give his anything else. Xu Hui was too lazy to ask her for more, so she just bought some food for herself.

Xu Hui looked at the list in her hands. In addition to the oil, she also wanted to buy eggs, vegetables, meat, as well as some cotton and cloth. The sky here was cold, so she had to prepare Niu Niu’s cotton clothes.

Aunt Wei looked at the purchase order in Xu Hui’s hand and sighed with a smile, “It’s better if you can read. We went out to buy things just by thinking about it. We forgot about them when we bought them. We only remembered to buy them when we got home!” Pirat, local dialect, means rummaging through things.)

Xu Hui smiled and said, “When I’m not busy at home, ask little sister Yun’er to come and learn some words from me. If Aunt Wei buys anything in the future, someone will help her to write a list!” Aunt Wei naturally doted on her very much. Although a woman without talent was a virtue, Aunt Wei was a very clear person. No matter where a woman wanted to live a good life, she still needed to learn a lot of things, so she really liked having her daughter learn to read from Xu Hui.

Aunt Wei smiled and said, “That’s great. I’ll thank you on behalf of your little sister Yun’er!”

“I dare not thank you for such a small matter!” Xu Hui liked Auntie Wei’s straightforward and generous attitude and was happy to hang out with her. Suddenly, he saw a jewelry store on the roadside and quickly stopped the car.

Aunt Wei followed Xu Hui into the jewelry store. However, when Xu Hui told the doorman that Xu Hui wanted to sell bracelets, she could not help but advise, “You’re a daughter-in-law who just passed the door, where are you going to sell your dowry? Since you don’t have enough money, why don’t you go ask your grandmother for it?”

Xu Hui smiled bitterly. “How would I dare?” Because of the matter with cellar room, Grandmother has already scolded me a few times. I also wanted to make more fabric to let my family live a good life. I wonder why Grandmother and the rest don’t like it? If I were to ask for more money, Grandma would probably hit me! “
