550: One business, one martial art, one culture, we are invincible
Chu Shuo then said: "Brother Cao, Aunt Li, the house is not big, just three in and three out. Don't be too small. Stay here first. If you are still not used to it after winter, I will change it to a bigger one for you."
.”
When Mr. Cao Ge heard this, he immediately quit.
He said earnestly: "Chu Er, if you have this money, you might as well use it to help the people! They are suffering from cold and hunger now, how miserable it is!"
Chu Shuo rolled her eyes at him: "Master Cao, you are no different from a bandit."
"How do I look like a bandit?!"
"The bandits use knives and you use your mouth, both to steal money." Chu Shuo raised her chin towards him, "The people are suffering from cold and starvation. Sixth Sister and I have our own countermeasures. You don't need to be here blabbing.
I don’t even take care of my own family, so I only care about the common people.”
When it comes to being venomous, he's no slouch either.
Cao Ge is old and angry.
"Leave him alone." Cao Bin, no, now Li Bin, he stopped the two of them in a hurry and said: "No, you just saved our mother and son, we are already very grateful, how can we keep you busy?
We can just stay at the inn."
"Why are you so polite to me?" Chu Shuo waved her hand, "The house in Wutong Lane is not that good. If you can live comfortably, you can buy it from me when the time comes."
"But..." Li Bin hesitated.
Because they only had a little over a thousand taels, and after paying the bride price, they didn't have much left to buy a house.
But Li Shi smiled and responded: "Then thank you Second Young Master for your kindness."
Li Bin frowned, "Auntie!"
"Don't be like others, it's normal for friends to help each other. Second Young Master and Mr. Xie must be helping you because you have strengths. Don't underestimate yourself. Now we remember Second Young Master's
It’s the same thing to be a favor, to get through the difficulties, and to repay it in the future.” Li said.
Li Bin suddenly became enlightened.
He hates Mr. Cao Ge, but unknowingly, he will become the person he hates.
He smiled at Chu Shuo and said, "Erlang, I won't bother you this time."
Chu Shuo waved her hand, "Don't bother me, your mother-in-law is right, we have business and martial arts, plus you, we are invincible at the banquet!"
Nan Li didn't quite understand, "How to be invincible?"
Xie Beihan explained: "Because the two of us have little talent and little knowledge, some people will embarrass us with poems and the like at the banquet. At this time... Brother Li has to step forward and regain the place for us!"
Li Bin was a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's only a few times."
He couldn't stand those people who had a little talent and made things difficult for Chu Shuo and Xie Beihan.
So what if I read well?
His character is ruined!
Nan Li was happy, "My second brother has always remembered it once, let alone how many times you have. Come on, Mr. Li, don't be burdened. You will have to take care of them both at the banquet in the future."
"
Although my third brother is also very knowledgeable, he never likes to attend banquets, so he cannot protect his second brother.
Li Bin smiled and said, "Of course."
Seeing how happy they were, Mr. Cao Ge suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He wanted to say something to save her, but when the words reached his lips, he stopped again.
It's her loss if Li wants to reconcile!
When she is laughed at in the future, she will naturally come back.
Chu Shuo went to decorate the house, and Nan Li also went back to Xuanzhengsi to draw talismans.
Xie Beihan returned to his mansion and brought more than twenty maidservants to help him pack and move the boxes into the car.
Li Shi and Li Bin also helped each other to go out.
When the servants of the Cao Mansion heard that their master was leaving and his wife was about to leave, they gathered over and knelt down when they saw the person.
"Please Madam, please take us away too!"
They begged.
Mrs. Li took her grandmother and maids from her courtyard.
Seeing those servants, she was slightly moved, but she still said helplessly: "The young master and I are going out to set up another business. We have a lot of money to spend, and we don't have the ability to support so many servants at the moment."
But those people said: "But once Madam leaves, Mr. Cao can't afford to hire us. Madam, you don't have to give us any money yet, just give us a bite to eat. We just want to follow Madam and Young Master!"
The house is so big, they already know who Mr. Cao Ge is.
Previously, in order to save money, Mr. Cao Ge said that he would reduce their monthly salary, but his wife said that their work was already difficult, so she would privately replenish them with the reduced monthly salary.
Mr. Li also did not want to part with these servants.
Although they did not sign a deed of sale, they are all old people who have been with him for many years.
Li Bin made the decision: "Mom, just take them with you. The house with three entrances and three exits is not small, and it must be taken care of by servants. Now that we have money at our disposal, hiring a few servants will not be a problem."
Mrs. Li also thought of this and nodded with a smile.
Because they had previously signed a contract with the Li family, they would not be involved in a lawsuit if they left with the Li family.
In the blink of an eye, Cao's mansion was empty, with not a single person in sight.
It's dark.
After taking a rest, Mr. Cao Ge went to deal with the official documents. He didn't know that almost all the servants in the mansion had left.
It was so cold in the room that he shivered and felt hungry, so he left the study.
The whole house was pitch black.
He was about to curse, but he remembered that he and Mrs. Li had reconciled, and she had just left with her son.
He endured it and walked around in a circle, but he didn't see any servants, which was even more strange.
Finally seeing the boy who usually accompanied him, he lowered his face and asked, "Where are the people? Where have they gone? No matter how frugal they are, the place where the lamp should be held should be brightened. Why are they so unruly?"
The boy hunched his shoulders and said, "Sir, everyone has followed Madam."
"What!?" Mr. Cao Ge was shocked, "Where is the cook?!"
Is there still his dinner?!
The boy said: "He's leaving too."
Mr. Cao Ge waved his sleeves angrily: "Well, Mr. Li! I will sue you for taking away my people!"
But as soon as he turned around, he remembered why they were so arrogant.
Those servants didn't sign the contract with him, so what could he sue for?
He gritted his teeth and looked at the young man: "You are loyal, that's great!"
The boy wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was not that he was loyal, but that Mr. Cao Ge felt that those who followed him must be restrained, so he signed a death contract with him in the first place.
There was a growling sound in Cao Ge's stomach.
He took out his money bag, rummaged through it, and took out ten copper coins: "Since the cook has left, you can go out and buy some food."
The boy looked at the ten copper coins in the palm of his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Master, before the snowstorm, ten copper coins could still buy a bowl of noodles, but now... I can only buy two steamed buns."
Cao Ge Laowei opened his eyes and thought: "What? Ten cents can only buy one bowl of noodles? In the past, ten cents could buy two bowls, then... then I will eat two steamed buns, and you will eat two.
…It’s just twenty cents…”
The boy was speechless.
He could already imagine what kind of life he would live in the future.
Madam, why didn’t you sign the death contract with me back then?
