Li Xianglan thinks buying the Enlightenment Book is enough.
For example, copybooks that practice calligraphy, there is no need to buy paper, ink, pen and inkstones. Women cannot take the exam for the science, so no matter how well they write, it is useless.
But Niu Dali disagreed and said that he would finally come to the town and buy all the things he wanted to buy.
What's more, their family is not short of that little money.
Li Xianglan was a little angry.
Their family has so much spare money, why didn’t Brother Dali save some money?
"Don't worry Xianglan! I'm very strong and won't be hungry for you." Niu Dali raised his thick arms and said honestly.
Li Xianglan was both angry and funny, with her eyes wide open and she glared at him.
But when she saw Da Ya holding the copybook happily, she felt a little disappointed when she saw her eldest daughter's disappointed look. The eldest daughter has been suffering with her since she was a child, and her eldest daughter is also sensible and never complains.
She sighed in her heart, bit her teeth, and chose some copybooks for Da Ya and Er Ya to practice calligraphy, as well as paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and asked the bookstore servants for the price.
"Customer, a total of 8 taels and 500 cents." The bookstore servant calculated.
Li Xianglan knew that these things were not cheap, but it was beyond her expectations that more than eight liang was. Even ordinary people would not spend so much in half a year.
"Please wrap the things up!" Niu Dali paid the silver first without thinking.
"Okay, okay!" The bookstore servant took the silver and smiled immediately. He quickly picked up the paper, ink, pen and inkstone they bought and packed it in the back room.
"I don't agree not to buy it. Why are you so anxious to pay? There is no bargaining!" Li Xianglan said coquettishly.
Niu Dali scratched his head and showed a honest and simple smile.
As long as he shows this honest and charming look, Li Xianglan will be angry no matter how angry she is. It is because his smile is too contagious.
"Isn't this the second brother?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came.
A luxuriously dressed woman led Niu Yunru into the bookstore, and two maids were followed behind them.
Niu Dali didn't expect to meet Niu Jinyu when he came to the town. In his impression, this little girl especially liked to stick to him when she was very young, and always called her second brother and second brother behind him, but when she grew up, she was very alienated from him.
Of course he knew the reason why this rich woman instigated her.
"My sister-in-law!" Da Ya and Er Ya shouted.
"It's a little sister!" Li Xianglan greeted.
Niu Jinyu glanced at Li Xianglan and her daughter with disgust. In her eyes, Li Xianglan was just a servant, and her daughter was also a servant. She was not worthy of talking to her at all, let alone being her daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the Niu family.
Niu Yunru, beside Niu Jinyu, looked at Niu Dali's family of four with resentment.
It was all this stupid second uncle who caused her to be discussed by the village's mud legs, so she could only run to the town to avoid the limelight.
However, this also allowed her to see the prosperous life in the town.
Every day, I saw my sister-in-law wearing gold and silver. Not only were there many maids serving her, but she also wore precious and beautiful dresses and jewelry. She was so envious of her.
Although my sister-in-law always brings her beautiful clothes and jewelry, compared with her aunt, her things are no different from those of beggars.
This made her more determined to marry a rich young man like her aunt.
"Second brother, I heard you were separated from your family? It's not that my little sister underestimates you. If you leave your parents, you are afraid you can't even support yourself!" Niu Jinyu said in a lesson: "I was already three or four years old, so you should stay in the Niu family! What should I do with the Fate Family? I really want to suffer!"
People who are not sure about the situation may think that Niu Jinyu is for Niu Dali's good, but Niu Dali knows that this is clearly sarcastic.
"Did this bitch instigate you to leave your parents?" Niu Jinyu looked at Li Xianglan with a bad look, "It turns out that he is a lowly embryo!"
Li Xianglan lowered her head and did not dare to speak. Da Ya and Er Ya were also afraid of this little sister-in-law.
"Little sister, are you talking to your second sister-in-law like that?" Niu Dali scolded angrily.
"You dare to talk to me like this?" Niu Jinyu looked at him in surprise.
"I am your second brother, why can't I talk to you like this? When you were a child, I would have changed your crotch pants, but I would have changed them with you. Could it be that I can't say anything to you?" Niu Dali said with a simple tone.
Niu Jinyu was so angry that her face was blushing because Niu Dali dared to talk about her embarrassing things in public.
The two maids behind him immediately lowered their heads and smiled secretly.
"My sister-in-law, don't get angry. My second uncle has been like this since he got sick that time. He always angered his grandparents, and once he fainted!" Niu Yunru did not forget to splash dirty water.
Passers-by around pointed at Niu Dali, "I didn't expect this man to look honest, I didn't expect that he was so unfilial, and even his parents were angry!"
The coldness in Niu Dali's eyes flashed in an instant, and he suddenly looked very anxious and said, "Big niece, last time it was you who framed your two sisters for stealing eggs, which made them almost beat your breasts. I just said that you can't frame your sister as a sister, otherwise you won't get married in the future, and your breasts will almost dizzy!"
At this moment, Niu Dali's honest and simple face was so anxious that he could not help but speculate on passers-by around him.
"So it turns out that the old lady is so angry that her granddaughter frames her own sister?"
"I really didn't expect that the little girl looked gentle and even framed her sisters!"
For a moment, discussions came one after another.
"No, he lies!" Niu Yunru said anxiously.
"Enough! Second brother, is it the behavior that an elder should have when you say your niece's fault in front of so many people?" Niu Jinyu asked loudly.
Niu Dali wants to laugh very much.
Just now, Niu Yunru, a junior, said to the elders in front of so many people, why don’t you say it anymore?
Now he dares to teach him a lesson.
"I don't, I just want to explain!" Niu Dali looked anxious and shook his hand.
"Hmph! I originally wanted to persuade you to return to the Niu family, but it seems that there is no need. Without the help of the family, do you think you can support the family? Don't cry and beg for your parents." Niu Jinyu said sarcastically.
"And what are you, a farmer who is not familiar with literature, come to the bookstore for work? This is also where you can come? Don't dirty things here, how expensive things here? Even if you sell your two girls, you can't afford to pay!"
At this moment, the bookstore servant came out of the back room, smiling and shouted: "Customer, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone you bought are here."
But when he saw that there were many people around the bookstore, he was a little confused.
What's going on?
Why are there so many people?
Niu Dali wanted to laugh a little.
This bookstore servant came out too on time.
Just now, Niu Jinyu said that he couldn't afford to buy things in the bookstore, but the servant shouted loudly, worried that others wouldn't hear it?
Chapter completed!
