Chapter 193 Asking about money
"Hiss, one hundred silver coins?!"
Hearing the amount of one hundred silver coins, Sima Lianhe couldn't help but gasped. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Didn't she just take one hundred silver coins not long ago?! Why are you asking again!"
"That's right!" The old housekeeper said with an ugly expression on his lips, "This old lady has to go out of the city every day to give out porridge. The whole family..."
Not only Huang Chunhua wanted money, Chu Qiutao's family also wanted money now, and they had no source of income themselves, so they naturally wanted to get it from the Chu Mansion!
This has never been less than one hundred silver coins. It has only been less than half a month since they came here, and they have taken the money three times. At this rate, the entire Chu Mansion will be paid by them. empty.
"It's unreasonable! They really think that the Chu family belongs to them!"
Sima Lianhe patted the table vigorously, finally he couldn't help but get angry.
If Songsong only raised Huang Chunhua and Chu Qiutao's family, she wouldn't be so angry.
But what Huang Chunhua and the others wanted was too much, how could Sima Lianhe bear it.
"This money can never be given to them again!" Sima Lianhe looked at the housekeeper and said coldly.
"But ma'am, if you don't give it, it's hard for the master to explain!" The housekeeper couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This housekeeper belongs to Sima Lianhe, but the problem is that the head of this family is Chu Lianqing, even Sima Lianhe has to obey Chu Lianqing, let alone him as the housekeeper.
This Huang Chunhua is Chu Lianqing's mother, and she got Chu Lianqing's permission to take the money. If they don't give it, they will make a fuss in front of Chu Lianqing, let alone him as a housekeeper, even Sima Lianhe Gotta be implicated.
When Sima Lianhe thought of Chu Lianqing, his face became even uglier. Chu Lianqing no longer had the freshness of his youth towards her. After the incident with Huang Chunhua last time, the relationship between Chu Lianqing and her became even more Freezing point has been reached.
In the past, he would come to her room for a symbolic visit every month, but now he is unwilling to even do this superficial effort, and sleeps in Aunt Xue's room every day, slapping her in the face.
"hateful!"
Sima Lian patted the table heavily, venting her anger. After a while, she calmed down and said, "Give it to her! If she wants it, then give it to her!"
If there was another quarrel with Huang Chunhua over money matters, Chu Lianqing would probably hate her even more.
The housekeeper wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Sima Lianhe had no choice, he sighed slightly and swallowed the words in his mouth, nodded his head in response and said: "Yes, the old slave knows."
"Don't worry, she won't be able to hold this money for long!" Sima Lianhe said with a cold gleam in his eyes.
Since she was able to drive Huang Chunhua out of the mansion back then, she can naturally do it now!
Let Huang Chunhua and the others be proud for a while now!
The butler received Sima Lianhe's orders, so he took a hundred silver coins and handed them to Chu Qiutao.
"Why so slow?" Chu Qiutao looked dissatisfied at the silver coin in her hand, and couldn't help complaining.
Meng San took the silver coins over, counted them carefully, and confirmed that the amount was correct, then said to Huang Chunhua who was beside him: "Mother, it's a hundred silver coins, that's right."
"Well, hurry up and buy food, the food outside the city will run out soon." Huang Chunhua nodded and urged.
Chu Qiutao and Meng Shan looked at each other, smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, the food will definitely arrive outside the city tomorrow, and I promise not to delay your donation!"
The couple are responsible for buying food, and naturally part of the money needs to go into their pockets, which is their main source of income today.
The butler glanced at them, pursed his lips, and left with a dark face.
"Hmph, mother, look at this butler's attitude towards us!" Chu Qiutao looked at the back of the butler leaving, and hugged dissatisfiedly.
Complain.
Chu Qiutao asked herself that she was the magistrate's younger sister, and the housekeeper was just a servant but didn't treat her well, how could she bear this anger.
"This housekeeper belongs to Sima Lianhe, so he won't treat us well!" Meng Shan glanced at Huang Chunhua, and fanned the flames.
For the couple, it is best to let Huang Chunhua run the house, so that they have more chances to get money.
So they always look for opportunities to have Huang Chunhua and Sima Lianhe confront each other.
Anyway, Huang Chunhua is Chu Lianqing's mother, with this identity, is she afraid that she will not succeed like Sima Lianhe? !
Huang Chunhua frowned. Although she was dissatisfied with Sima Lianhe, the thing she cared most about right now was to undo the karma in her body, so she didn't want to waste time on Sima Lianhe.
"Leave her alone, this is my son's mansion, and she dares not refuse to give me the money!" Huang Chunhua shook her head and said.
As long as Sima Lianhe gave money, Huang Chunhua didn't care much about other things.
"Hmph, this Sima Lianhe used to talk about how to be filial to your mother, but look at how she treats you now!" Chu Qiutao did not give up so easily and continued to provoke.
"Also, mother, you lived well in the mansion back then, but suddenly fell ill, and a Taoist priest came and said that you should go home to live! I think this is Sima Lianhe's conspiracy, otherwise, mother You see, you haven't lived for so long now, aren't you all well, why don't you look a little sick?!"
Chu Qiutao complained all the way behind Huang Chunhua, regardless of whether there was evidence or not, it was Sima Lianhe's fault anyway.However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions, Huang Chunhua frowned, feeling doubts about what happened back then.
"Brother Zhanfei! You are back!"
As soon as Bai Xuan went out, he ran into Yun Zhanfei who had just gone upstairs, and immediately walked up on his short legs and hugged his thigh, looking at him cutely with blinking eyes.
Yun Zhanfei had absolutely no resistance against this kind of harmless little dumpling, so he directly reached out to hug him up, and asked, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Bai Xuan blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Zhanfei, I'm sorry, Xuanxuan shouldn't have sneaked out to cause trouble for everyone, Xuanxuan knew it was wrong, brother Zhanfei, please forgive Xuanxuan!"
Last night, Bai Xuan and the rest of the inn had already apologized, and now only Yun Zhanfei was left.
So seeing Yun Zhanfei at this meeting, Bai Xuan couldn't wait to come over and apologize.
Yun Zhanfei has always liked such a well-behaved little dumpling like Bai Xuan, and Yun Mengxi was so cute and obedient when he was young, but it's a pity that the older he grows, the more disobedient he becomes.
Hearing Bai Xuan's apology right now, Yun Zhanfei felt his heart soften, and immediately pinched Bai Xuan's cheek and said: "It's okay, brother Zhanfei is not angry with you, I forgive you."
"Really?!" Bai Xuan looked at Yun Zhanfei in surprise and asked happily.
"But you can't just run out casually in the future! Everyone will be worried." Yun Zhanfei added, thinking about how he would see Bai Jingting and the others someday.
"Yeah!" Bai Xuan repeatedly nodded in agreement.
"Brother, you're back." Yun Mengxi came out of the room, saw Yun Zhanfei and asked, "How are uncle and the others?"
Yun Zhanfei put Bai Xuan down, and then said: "Fortunately, they probably searched for this little guy all day yesterday, and when I went back, they searched all over the city with torches!"
"Xuanxuan did something wrong..." Hearing that so many people were worried because of him alone, Bai Xuan pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.
He would really know that he was wrong.
Guo Wen and Guo Wu heard the movement outside the door a long time ago, got dressed in a hurry and came out of the room.
"It's my fault, I brought Xuanxuan out!" Guo Wen said immediately.
He was the only one who planned all this matter, so of course he would not let Xuanxuan bear the whole mistake alone.
"Come down, you three little ones!"
Chu Zhuang looked at the three people upstairs and said.
Since they have done something wrong, it is not enough to simply apologize, but also to accept punishment.
The three of Guo Wen looked at each other and went downstairs holding hands.
Yun Zhanfei scratched his head, there was no more Xiaotuanzi to pinch, so he could only go back to his room to catch up on sleep, while Yunmengxi followed the three of them down.
Three little radish heads stood in a row in front of Chu Zhuang according to their height.
"Have you finished apologizing?" Chu Zhuang looked at the three of them and asked.
"Yeah." The three nodded in unison.
"There are also uncles and those uncles who are looking for Xuanxuan, you haven't apologized yet." Chu Zhuang reminded.
"But, but they're not here..." Guo Wen mustered up his courage and whispered.
It's not that they don't want to apologize, but that they can't apologize without people here.
"Then write a letter to apologize. If you did something wrong and caused trouble to others, how could you not even have an apology?" Chu Zhuang
asked.
"We can't write..." Guo Wen said with some shame.
Guo Wen did know a few words, but asking him to write a letter of apology was not at that level.
Even the biggest Guo Wen couldn't do it, let alone Guo Wu and Bai Xuan, the latter two didn't even know a word.
"Since you can't, then learn!"
Chu Zhuang looked at them and said: "From today onwards, the three of you will follow me to learn how to read and write every day. When can you write a letter of apology and send it back to get their forgiveness, this matter will be completely over. .”
This was the first lesson Chu Zhuang taught them.
"Learning to read..." Guo Wen and the three looked at each other, then nodded and agreed.
"In addition, since you have done something wrong, of course you must be punished. From now on, every morning, the three of you will get up a quarter of an hour earlier and follow me to run until this matter is over."
Chu Zhuang looked at the three of them and asked, "Do you accept this punishment?"
It is not without pressure for Chu Zhuang to take the three children on the road. Running is not so much a punishment as an exercise for them.Only when the body is strong, the resistance will come up, and it will not be easy to get sick.
"We accept!" The three said dejectedly.
But as long as they can stay, let alone running, even running behind the carriage, they are all willing!
Only then did Chu Zhuang nodded in satisfaction, and asked Bai Dali to take the three little radish heads to wash.
"Literacy, running, Chu Zhuang, are you planning to have three more students?" Yun Mengxi waited until they left before looking at Chu Zhuang and asking.
Chu Zhuang smiled and said: "It's time for them to be enlightened, since they are by my side, they can't be illiterate, right?"
"and……"
Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, and said thoughtfully: "It's time to put a little pressure on big brother, will there be competition to be motivated?"
