Struggle in Ancient Times
Chapter 112.2
After the family vented their joy, Mother Deng invited a large group of people to go shopping.
Passing by the list, people hadn’t finished reading yet, and the crowd hadn’t dispersed yet.
In the restaurant next to it, there were many gers and women standing around, as well as many wealthy businessmen and officials.
Mother Deng looked around and saw that there were indeed many people coming to rob people.
Some people looked at the list and cried bitterly, some were secretly sad, some were happily shouting and there were all kinds of emotions. They were happily stuffed with sachets. The young and handsome ones were pulled by the servants who stayed outside and asked if they were married and if they had wives and children at home.
Mother Deng quickly pulled Liao Tingyu, like a hen protecting her cubs.
Liao Shi and Liao Ming were on the left and right, Xiao Qiu was behind, and the others were wrapped in the middle, resolutely protecting the innocence of their son, little brother, and young master.
After walking out of that street, Mother Deng saw that there were still vegetable sellers on the other street. It was not as lively as before, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Let’s go back and buy some meat. What do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat a big rooster,” Liao Shi said.
“Let me ask your brother! What kind of nonsense are you talking about? The bump on your head is bigger than a rooster’s comb.” Mother Deng laughed as she spoke.
At this time, the vegetables and meat were more expensive than usual, but Mother Deng was happy today. Now that her status was different from before, she didn’t care about the sudden change of the price at all.
The whole family kept talking and laughing along the way.
They were not in a hurry. Liao Shi looked around and saw that everything was good.
Mother Deng was alone in the front shopping for groceries and negotiating prices, while others followed behind to carry things.
“Would you like to buy a duck?” Mother Deng asked, looking at the plump duck.@@novelbin@@
“No, I don’t like the smell of duck. And there’s already a rooster,” Liao Tingyu shook his head. He didn’t like things with a strong fishy smell. Even duck eggs felt disgusting.
“Dad, do you want some duck soup?” Liao Ming shook his head: “Forget it, not many people in our family like this thing, let’s find another one.”
Mother Deng’s taste was different from theirs, and none of these two unlucky children were like hers: “This duck is much more expensive than chicken. The taste of this duck is a bit weird. But it wasn’t so bad.”
Seeing how big and fat the duck was, Mother Deng felt it was a pity.
Liao Ming just listened and didn’t say anything. In fact, Mother Deng didn’t like eating it before. She just heard other people say that this duck soup was good for children and nutritious. She got used to eating it when she was pregnant with her youngest child.
Mother Deng made some calculations, weighed a few kilograms of fruit, bought a turtle to make soup, and killed a fish just for Huang Zilan.
Liao Ming went to the restaurant to buy a pound of wine and also bought a lot of candies, which he took back in large and small bags.
.
When they got home, Wen Xiuer, who was relaxed, was the first to open the door and put things on the table.
Mother Deng waved his hand: “Help your brother-in-law get it. I don’t need it.”
Liao Tingyu brought the least and lightest things.
Wen Xiuer happily brought the ingredients back to the kitchen and used her superb skills to prepare a table full of dishes.
Originally, Liao Tingyu lived in seclusion and was not very famous when he took the exam, but it was different after he passed the exam. Even the neighbors greeted the family with smiles when they saw him. Before, their eyes were high in the sky and didn’t even spare them a glance.
Mother Deng often complained from behind, and Liao Ming didn’t like their attitude either.
When Mother Deng was unhappy, he comforted her: “Don’t get angry with people like this. Our family has several shops. And your son is a scholar, and he will be promoted later. Just ignore them, don’t belittle yourself with them.”
Mother Deng felt that this was the reason, how great she was!
Every time she looked at the arrogant demeanor of the family next to her, she despised them in my heart.
Now, seeing how cautious the family was towards them, she was extremely happy.
In the past few days, Huang Zilan and Liao Tingyu had exchanged invitations at home. Some blatantly indicated the intention of marriage, some implicitly expressed the intention of admiring flowers, and some were gatherings of young talents. The two of them couldn’t decide how to choose, and many things were unclear on how to refuse.
Mother Deng looked at the piles of posts in front of her, still stamped with gold seals.
She touched and looked at them, sighing, “Such good paper, this flower is so beautiful, it must be gold! Oh my God! Our son is really popular. I heard that many families are asking if our son is getting married.” Mother Deng sat on the chair, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed to slits.
“Then return them, he not only has a wife but also having a child!” Liao Ming said while sipping his wine.
“It’s so easy for you to say that. Those people are not someone I, an old woman, can dismiss. And look at the big landowners in our village; none of them are like our sons, they have three wives and four concubines…” Mother Deng’s eyes rolled, and after all, a ger was not easy to give birth like a woman; at the most they could give birth to three children.
“Don’t entertain such ideas. Our Liao family practices one husband and one wife. This is ancestral teaching. Give these posts to Tingyu and let him decide whether to go or not.” Liao Ming was not pleased. The descendants of those with three wives and four concubines couldn’t have a peaceful courtyard.
If the backyard was not peaceful, there would be trouble in the home.
When Mother Deng heard what Liao Ming said, she knew that this matter was not something she could interfere with.
She pursed her lips in displeasure. Was she so serious just because she was thinking about it?
As soon as the things were thrown away, she said, “Then I’ll go out to get food. You can see for yourself.”
Liao Ming sighed and handed the things to Liao Tingyu in the room. “These are new posts. You two should take a good look!”
Liao Tingyu took the posts and said, “It’s so thick! We’re not familiar with them. We’ve read so much, but we don’t know them at all.”
“People are looking for ways to get such a post, but you don’t think about it at all,” Liao Ming smiled.
