Madam Qian had indeed been pampered for a long time. Even with Madam Yang's guidance, she was still not quick enough to do things.
Madam Yang, who was used to being diligent, almost had obsessive-compulsive disorder from watching from the side.
In the end, she really couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but go forward to help.
In the end, the one who did the most work was still Madam Yang, although Madam Qian's face was also covered in dust.
"First Aunt is really clever. She learns quickly. Next time, she will be able to cook for Grandpa and Grandma.”Fang Yun said deliberately.
Next time? There's a next time?
Madam Qian roared in her heart. Next time my ass!
When Fang De returned with the money, she would follow him back to town.
Just as breakfast was ready, Old Master Fang, Fang De, and his brothers came back from outside one after another.
Wang Jinya came over early in the morning. After signing the deed for the loan, the brothers followed him to the town to exchange for silver.
At this moment, he had returned with silver. Ten packets of Snowflake Silver were placed there, taking up half of the kang.
Old Master Fang, Fang Yu, and Fang Cheng did not look too good. Only Fang De and Fang Qin's eyes flickered with excitement.
He borrowed 600 taels of silver from Wang Jinya, but he only got 540 taels.
"Yan 'Er's dowry has to be prepared. There are also places where we can use money at home.”Fang De said.
Since he had brought the silver home, Old Master Fang had nothing more to say.
"Let's eat."
Old Master Fang said," After dinner, go to town again and pay back the money you owe Boss's friend.”
"Hey!" Fang De replied with a smile.
While they were serving the dishes, Madam Qian found an excuse to pull Fang De out. The two of them whispered something and returned in a short while.
Breakfast was relatively simple and she ate quickly. When it was almost time to collect the bowls, Mrs. Qian saw that Fang De had not said what she had instructed, so she immediately gave him a few fierce looks.
Fang De hesitated for a moment." Father, Mother, I'll go to town to pay the money later. I'll also buy some dowry for Yan 'Er. Yan' Er's mother will go with me to do it."”
Old Master Fang felt that it didn't matter. He was about to nod when Luo coughed.
Old Master Fang usually didn't care much about the matters of the Inner Residence. Now that Luo Shi was going to personally participate, he didn't say anything.
"Boss, go to town to pay the money. Your wife and the others will stay at home.”
Luo Shi glanced at Madam Qian and continued,"I've already thought about the dowry that Yan 'Er wants to buy. Your elder sister has everything. The things are good and even cheaper. At that time, if there was anything missing, he could just make up for it.”
"Let's just write a note for the things we need to buy at home and get someone to send it over along with the silver. We don't have to mess around by ourselves.”
Luo Shi's words caused Madam Qian's heart to turn cold.
However, she was still unwilling to give up. She quickly winked at Fang De, asking him to think of a way to bring them back to town.
" Mother, the Lu family is a wealthy family. If the dowry is too shabby, Yan 'Er will be looked down upon if she marries over…" Fang De still wanted to find an excuse to shirk.
"You've only lived in town for a few years.”
Luo interrupted Fang De's words and looked at Madam Qian with a sneer." Your elder sister's shop in the county has been open for more than a year or two. Every year and every month, she has to do business with many wealthy families. She knows more about buying things than you.”
"Yan 'Er was able to meet the young master of the Lu Family because of her eldest aunt. Otherwise, the good thing of choosing an official wouldn't have fallen on your head. Leave the dowry to her aunt. Don't talk to me about that.”
Luo Shi's words made Fang De unable to refute. Madam Qian did not dare to provoke Luo Shi at this time, so she could only be anxious and angry at the side.
"When you are elected as an official, Yan 'Er will also be getting married. As a nanny, I have to teach her some rules so that people won't say that our family has no upbringing.”Luo said.
Could it be that I, as a mother, don't know how to teach, or that I'm not as good as you, an old woman?
Madam Qian was furious, but she could only swallow her anger.
"Boss, your mother is right. Yan 'Er lives in town with you all year round and rarely comes to the old mansion. If she got married in the future, she would have even less of a chance. Therefore, she would stay at home until the new year.”
Old Master Fang said," The house in town is rented after all. It's not as good as our own house. When the time comes, Yan 'Er will also be getting married at home.”
"That's right, Yan 'Er. You can stay at home until the new year. We can have a good talk.”Fang Jiao Er said happily.
Since Old Master Fang had already spoken, even if Madam Qian and Fang Yan 'er were unwilling, they could only agree.
At this moment, the anger in their hearts could not be described with words.
"The autumn harvest is coming soon. Let Dalang and the others come back.”Old Master Fang instructed Fang De, who was about to leave.
Fang De responded and went to town with Fang Qin and Fang Yu.
…………
After breakfast, she cleaned up the dishes.
Luo moved a stool and sat under the roof of the upper room.
She called Fang Ru, Fang Yun, and the other children over.
"Ru 'er, go open the chicken coop and catch the chickens one by one.”
Why did he catch a chicken? Was he going to eat chicken today? Fang Yun subconsciously looked at Fang Ru.
"Milk needs to be touched to see how many eggs there are today, so we don't have to worry about the rooster. Just catch the hen and let them dig for food after touching it.”
Fang Ru saw that Fang Yun was in a daze. She remembered that he had been asking some strange questions recently, so she explained.
If he wanted to touch the eggs, he really didn't need to catch a rooster.
Fang Yun recalled a cartoon called " Peppa Pig." The rooster in Peppa Pig's grandmother's house actually laid eggs!
He really misled the students!
Yes, so everyone must remember that roosters don't lay eggs!
"Oh." Fang Yun nodded and followed Fang Ru and Fang Xiner into the chicken coop to catch the chickens.
The Fang family raised more than ten chickens. Only three of them were roosters, and the rest were hens laying eggs.
In the eyes of children, catching chickens was actually a game.
With her brothers and sisters around, Xiner was playful. She held a Luhua chicken's wing and laughed.
Luo Shi didn't care about her and only let Fang Yun and Fang Ru catch the other chickens.
Usually, Fang Ru was in charge of feeding the chickens, and Fang Yun would also help, so she was not afraid of them.
Fang Yun quickly grabbed a hen and handed it to Luo Shi.
Luo Shi took the hen and held it in his arms. He held the hen with one hand and extended the other hand to the hen's…uh, it seemed to be where it pooped.
Fang Yun looked at Luo Shi's unusually skilled movements with some embarrassment.
Was this touching an egg?
Luo quickly retracted his finger and released the hen.
"This one doesn't have any eggs today."
As Luo Shi spoke, he let go of the chicken in his hand and took another hen from Fang Ru. He did the same thing.
"There is only one egg."
"This one also has an egg."
"This one doesn't have any eggs today…There are five eggs today.”After touching all the hens, Luo Shi finally announced.
"Is this accurate?" Fang Yun mumbled.
"Your touch is very accurate.”Fang Ru said softly.
It turned out that one could confirm whether or not a hen would lay eggs that day by touching its thing. It was really…direct.
"You're really capable.”
In Fang Yun's opinion, this was definitely a unique skill. In any case, he would never be able to do it.
"There are five eggs today." Luo Shi shouted at Madam Xu, who had just come out," One less person, and I'm not done with you."”
"How many eggs there are today is none of my business.”Madam Xu pursed her lips and went back into the house.
"I have to touch the eggs every day to prevent anyone from stealing them.”Fang Ru whispered into Fang Yun's ear.
"Second Aunt, do you steal eggs often?" Fang Yun reacted quickly.
Fang Ru pursed her lips and smiled.
It turned out that Luo Shi did not mind the trouble of touching the chickens every day. Not only did he want to know the egg production in advance, but he also wanted to prevent his daughters-in-law from stealing eggs.
