Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

This eldest brother-in-law thought he was talented, pretentious and noble, and looked down upon them. He knew that the Shi family was "full of copper odor". When his mother said that he was willing to live in his family, which was full of copper odor, Shi Fengju was shocked. I was amazed.

"Is this the eldest sister's intention or the eldest brother-in-law's intention? Is the eldest brother-in-law also willing?" Shi Fengju thought it was better to ask clearly. If it was the eldest sister's intention alone, the stubborn elder brother-in-law would still have to blame him. eventful!

"That's what we discussed!" Shi Yumei said hurriedly: "No, the house is also clean, which just allows him to study with peace of mind. Qingzhou is also close to Hangzhou. It will be convenient to go to Hangzhou to take the exam in three years' time! Moreover, Our master can also guide the third brother! Three years later, the nephew and uncle happened to end up together, and they also looked after each other on the road!"

"No!" Wang and Shi Fengju said in unison when they heard that Ren Zhixian was being asked to "coach" Shi Fenghua.

"The third brother has a teacher to guide him in the academy. The teacher said that he will start playing in two years. It is not harmful to change someone to give guidance in the middle! Besides, the eldest brother-in-law also needs to review his homework, right? He can't be influenced by the third brother. Ah!" Shi Fengju said.

"Yes, yes! Your second brother is right!" Wang quickly agreed.

Not to mention that he was worried about letting such an unreliable person tutor his younger brother. Shi Fengju had no doubts at all. If he really let him tutor him, and if he failed the exam next time, he would definitely complain that he spent all his time tutoring his brother-in-law. Oh, I didn’t study well! Moreover, if Shi Fenghua wins instead, he will definitely say that this is all due to his guidance!

After hearing Shi Fengju's explanation, Shi Yumei's face changed slightly and then she turned around. She smiled and nodded and said, "That's true! But is that gentleman reliable? Don't delay our Fenghua!"

"Reliable! That's the old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy who retired from Beijing and returned to his hometown!" Wang said quickly.

"Oh!" Shi Yumei said in a long voice and stopped talking. Obviously he didn't quite agree with what his mother said, but he didn't feel confident enough to refute it.

Although she didn't say it, Shi Fengju understood what she meant and thought to himself, no matter how unreliable he is, he is more reliable than my eldest brother-in-law!

Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Shi Fengju said, "I think, let's go to the banana garden! The house there is spacious and the environment is quiet. What do you think, eldest sister?"

"Biao Yuan? Banana Yuan... Well, okay! Then that's it!" Shi Yumei thought about it and suddenly smiled a little reluctantly.

The Jiaoyuan Garden is located in the south of the Shifu. The main entrance opens to the outer courtyard. The yard and house are located in the inner house. There is a small door leading to the inner house, which is exactly on the dividing line between the inside and outside. The women who keep watch at night can lock the corner door in the inner house to isolate the inside and outside.

There are two courtyards in the garden, with front and rear entrances. The main house and its wing rooms have a total of five rooms and two entrances, with a reverse seat, a back cover, and east and west wing rooms. There is also a small garden of one acre in the backyard, with rockeries, water diversion and ponds, and sparse flowers and trees. Although it is small, it is very delicately arranged. The front courtyard is planted with bananas, plum blossoms, and bamboos. It is very elegant and quiet, and it is perfect for reading.

It would be perfect to live with an aunt like her who got married and came back with her husband.

However, Shi Yumei couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. Because she originally wanted to propose that she still live in the embroidered building before leaving the pavilion, but now she feels that the embroidered building is no longer hers to live in! The Shi family will soon have a new eldest daughter, who is her brother's daughter. That should be where the new eldest daughter of the Shi family should live! How can I still live in the inner house with my husband?

Shi Yumei felt sad for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little restrained and timid as an "outsider". She reluctantly smiled and said, "Well, that's really troublesome for you two brothers! We will move in when the banana garden is tidied up and go there." We can just eat it ourselves afterward."

"Why are you so polite to your brother?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard her daughter say this. She thought about how strong her daughter was at home and how she always wanted to be the best. She didn't want to meet someone who was not a good person. She had been married to her father-in-law and mother-in-law for the past three years. They passed away one after another, and it has only been three or four years since then. The share of household goods has been completely lost to the unattractive husband, and even her dowry has been fully supplemented!

Seeing my daughter showing timidity was an expression that would have been impossible in the past. It shows how difficult these years have been, and even her temperament has changed. How can this not make the mother sad?

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but hold her daughter's hand, and she really told Shi Fengju, "I don't think there's any rush. I'll let your brothers and sisters clean up and decorate the banana garden after August 15th. Choose an auspicious day for you." Move in again! If you want to eat later, ask the kitchen to make something and bring it to you. You're welcome. If you miss your mother, just come over and eat with your mother! Haha, Mei'er, you will always She is the eldest lady of the Shi family. Whatever she wants, she can tell her what she wants. If anyone dares to be arrogant and disrespectful to the master, I will be the first to not forgive him!"

"Yes, eldest sister, since you are back, you can stay here with peace of mind! You are also my parents' daughter, so you should have a share of the Shi family's property!" Shi Fengju also smiled.

Shi Yumei felt relieved, and quickly thanked her mother and brother with a smile, and said angrily to Shi Fengju: "Look what you said! You are the one who works hard to take care of the family business, but I can't do anything." No. My parents gave me a grand marriage and gave me so many good things. The Shi family no longer owes me anything. This property belongs to you and Fenghua, but it has nothing to do with me! You If you say this again, I will be so ashamed!"

Mother and son all laughed for a moment.

Shi Fengju then smiled again and said: "I think so, from now on, I will give my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law twenty-two months of money from my account every month, just in case the eldest sister needs money for urgent needs and is inconvenienced. I will also arrange a banana orchard, too. Just think of me as a little brother! Forget it that my eldest sister and brother-in-law just arrived yesterday. I think I can find time to go sit with my second uncle and aunt to say hello today! Oh, I asked someone to buy the gift yesterday. It’s done, I’ll send it to my mother later!”

After all, Shi Yumei is a married daughter, so there is no reason for her to receive money from her parents' family. Of course, their eldest daughter-in-law would not say anything, but the Shi family also has a second daughter-in-law and an aunt and uncle who are third-family officials outside the house, so they must consider their feelings. . Shi Fengju thought about it, he would have to go to his second uncle and second aunt to explain to them in person, and make it clear to them that the expenses of the eldest sister and his wife would be paid by him and not by the public account.

Shi Yumei was also worried about this. She was overjoyed when she heard Shi Fengju's words. Mrs. Wang also laughed and praised her son for being thoughtful and capable of doing things.

Aunt Jiang resisted the urge to roll her eyes and thought to herself, Madam, you, the mother, should actually handle this kind of thing! Truly, the eldest young master is a rare good man! Madam, you are indeed very lucky! He has done everything, so I don’t have to remind you anymore!

"By the way, since the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law have come back to live, have your properties and fields in Meng County been arranged? If not, let me ask the housekeeper to go there!"

Counting on the eldest brother-in-law who wanted to turn into a bookworm when he got into a book, Shi Fengju felt that it was better to save his energy and not think about it, otherwise it would only add fuel to the fire.

"Yes, yes, let Fengju send someone to do it! Fengju is the safest way to do things!" Mrs. Wang also expressed concern.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yumei's face suddenly showed a somewhat unnatural look, and he hesitated: "No, no, no! Uh, we took care of everything before we came here. Really, everything was taken care of! No need. Sorry, second brother!"

"Really?" Shi Fengju glanced at her suspiciously and said, "That's good! I think I'd better let the housekeeper take a look!" He said with a slight mocking smile, "After all, The eldest brother-in-law is a scholar, so it is inevitable that he will not understand these common things. What a loss if he is deceived! It is better for me to ask the housekeeper to take a look! "

"I think this is the best!" Wang also nodded.

"No!" Shi Yumei was so anxious that she almost stood up and her voice lost control.

She was startled and hurriedly returned to calm down with a smile, "No need really! Mom, my second brother is so busy all day long. If he worries about such a trivial matter of mine, my husband and I will be very sorry! We have really taken care of it. , no need to go to such trouble."

Mrs. Wang snorted and sighed: "What kind of trouble is this! I haven't said anything about the trouble yet!"

"Mother..." Shi Yumei's expression became even more awkward, and she lowered her head in a dignified manner.

"Mom, eldest sister, are you hiding something from me? Tell me quickly!" Shi Fengju glanced at them and added: "You know my temper."

It means that even if you don't tell me, I can still find out in such a big place.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Isn't this what I was supposed to tell you! That is, your eldest brother-in-law owes Guangwenzhai 600 taels of silver, Hongtai Restaurant 380 taels of silver, and Hongtai Restaurant in Meng County. Rongji Silk and Satin Shop owes two hundred and forty taels..."

"Okay, mother!" Shi Fengju felt a headache and felt angry, and said calmly: "Do you have a bill? Give it to me!"

"Oh, it's here!" Shi Yumei smiled awkwardly and hurriedly took it out from her body and handed it to Shi Fengju.

A wave of annoyance rose from his dantian and went straight to his forehead. Although he asked this himself, Shi Fengju still felt extremely angry when he saw these bills that were originally for his eldest brother-in-law but were taken out from his sister!

That bastard!

Shi Fengju looked at it calmly and started browsing again. Hey, good guy, it’s really complete! Everything is included in the daily necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You can buy a fortune according to this list.

Even though Shi Fengju found this ridiculous, he didn't want to get angry. His eyes widened and he said with a cold face: "Eight hundred taels in Zuihualou?"

"Zuihualou?" Wang's face also changed, and she said solemnly: "What's going on? Why didn't you tell me this last night?"
