Chapter 96 Zhang Xiu
The moonlight was covered tonight, and it was dark everywhere. Thanks to Lin Yubei and Lin Yuxi following behind, Mrs. Lin and Zhang dared to walk this night.

"It's here!"

She reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, rubbed her face again to make her smile more natural, and then knocked on the door of Lin Xin's house.

"Xiu'er, it's your mother!"

She shouted, maybe thinking that she could finally help her daughter, even her voice was full of joy.

-

Zhang Xiu quarreled with Lin Xin again today.

She is twenty now.

When I was married to Lin Xin for half a month, the expected menstruation did not come.

But she is a bride, and Lin Zhang is also ashamed to teach, so she doesn't know what a delayed menstruation means.

And Lin Xin's mother was not easy to get along with, because Lin Xin's great-grandfather was a scholar, and the family set a rule of morning and evening.

In addition, she has to prepare the family's breakfast and go to the field to work on the crops.

This led to the fact that when she knew she was pregnant, the child was gone.

Lin Xin, who was a helper in the county, came back and broke up immediately.

It has been two or three years now, but there is no movement in this stomach.

She was really in a hurry today, so she told Lin Xin to see a doctor.

That's how he knew that Lin Xin had been drinking Bizitang behind her back all these years.

She was very angry, but Lin Xin pointed to the bag of beans and told her that he didn't dare to give birth, and he was afraid that her mother would ask him to help him for free.

She was even more angry, but more helpless.

Every time her stepfather opened her mouth, she would come over anxiously and say, Lin Xin and her couldn't refuse, this is her own mother!

It's just that the two of them were busy, but they couldn't catch anything. It's a lie in their hearts to say that they are not annoyed!
She let out a long sigh, and when she thought of her mother, a trace of despair arose in her heart.

Lin Xin on the side also fell asleep. Hearing Zhang Xiu's sigh, he subconsciously reached out to hug her and comfort her.

But the only trace of sobriety left made him restrain himself.

He and Zhang Xiucai just had a fight!

The two were lying like this, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a sound of joy.

"Xiu'er, it's your mother!"

The two immediately sat up, taking in the look in each other's eyes.

Why is mother here at this time?Could it be something else?
The two of them felt a sudden thump in their hearts, and immediately ignored the quarrel, they threw off the quilt, put on their shoes, put on their coats, and strode out.

Lin Xin's house is different from other houses, because there is not enough money, and there are only two husbands and wives, so there are not many rooms, and the layout is a bit like a modern house.

The overall plan is a rectangle, the entrance is the living room, the bedroom is on the left, a kitchen and a storage room are on the right.

This also leads to their extremely fast time to the door.

"Squeak", the door opened.

Lin Xin and Zhang Xiu burst out laughing and shouted, "Mom!"

Mrs. Lin Zhang didn't notice the strangeness of her daughter and son-in-law. She would be very happy now, and said "hey" casually, and said the business.

"Xiu'er, don't you have beans? Xizi and Beizi are just about to collect beans, and they can earn two cents a catty!"

Lin Yubei and Lin Yuxi also shouted: "Sister-in-law, little uncle!"

Only then did Zhang Xiu notice that there were two men standing behind Mrs. Lin and Zhang.

When she heard the two addressing herself and Lin Xin, she frowned slightly, thinking that the two looked familiar, but she couldn't remember.

There's no way, she doesn't get along well with the relatives of her stepfather's family.

Besides, her stepfather's family didn't like her, so every new year and festival, she would give her a gift, drink a glass of water and leave.

That family is too lazy to be hypocritical, and they don't even know how to politely call for dinner.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Lin Zhang knew what she was thinking when she saw her daughter frowning. She quickly introduced:

"This is the grandson of your father's youngest brother. You met their mother, the one who added makeup to you when you married."

Having said that, Zhang Xiu remembered that back then, her family, the relatives on the stepfather's side, except for the stepfather's own family to save face, there was only one left!

Thinking of this, the doubts in her heart were reduced by half. The sister-in-law is very kind, and she thinks this child is not bad.

She quickly avoided her body and led him in.

"Come in and talk, it's cold outside!"

Lin Xin also came to his senses at this moment, when he thought that the hundreds of catties of beans piled up in the storage room could be exchanged for money, he looked at Lin Yubei and Lin Yuxi as if he were looking at the God of Wealth.

Zhang Xiu led the people in, and he ran to the kitchen, poured two bowls of hot water and put them on the table.

"Drink some water!"

He laughed, then went in and poured out a bowl for Lin Zhang and Zhang Xiu.

Lin Yubei and Lin Yuxi were not polite either, they took a sip from their bowls, and then went straight to the point.

"Sister-in-law, where are your beans? Let's take a look. If there is no problem, let's weigh the beans now!"

This is exactly what they want!
The two hurried into the storage room. The beans were packed in two burlap sacks with something under them to keep them from getting damp.

"Axiu, come and help me!"

At this moment, Lin Xin didn't remember that the two were still arguing. After all, earning money was much more important than arguing.

Zhang Xiu also put the quarrel behind her.

She let out an "hey" and helped Lin Xin carry the beans.

Then he found the large scale and shoulder pole at home and went out.

Naturally, one must be careful when doing business, so Lin Yubei directly asked Lin Xin for another sack.

Then use a dry scoop to scoop the beans, and pour them into a new sack after confirming that there is no problem.

Lin Xin, Zhang Xiu, and Lin Zhang watched from the sidelines, their nervous hearts felt like they were going to jump out, for fear that if Lin Yubei said no, the beans would not be sold!
And Lin Yuxi was also very nervous, if the beans were not good, then the tofu recipe would have to be sold!

The eyes of the four of them fixed on Lin Yubei until he nodded in satisfaction after finishing the whole bag of beans.

Then he said, "Uncle, weigh yourself!"

All four breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xin took a step forward and sealed the sack with a rope. After confirming that it was tied tightly, he tied the sack with a rope to form a net and put it on the sack.

Then the rope was hung on the hook, and he and Lin Yuxi each held one end of the pole and stood up straight.

The sack rose into the air, Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to fiddle with the weight, and when the beam was balanced, he shouted, "120 five catties and four liang, Beizi, take a look too!"

Lin Yubei looked over after hearing the sound, nodded after confirming that it was correct: "That's the number!"

After the words were finished, Lin Xin and Lin Yuxi squatted down together. After confirming that the sack had landed smoothly, they held the shoulder pole in their hands and stood up sideways. Then Lin Yuxi let go, and Lin Xin pulled out the pole.

120 five catties and four taels, but the price is two cents per catty.

He made a quick calculation in his mind and decided to give Lin Xin 250 pennies.

After counting the money, he didn't hesitate, and directly took out the three strings of copper plates from his pocket.

The copper plates were all strung by Li Yushu, a string of one hundred, Lin Yubei untied one string, counted 51, tied the rope and put it back in his arms.

"250 pennies, sister-in-law, please count them, so as not to make a mistake!"
