Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"Why are you making peace?" Shen Yu asked meddlingly.

A country peddler who can make a fortune in just a few years must have some skills, but looking at her uncle is not like that.

"Who knows?" Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "Yingru hasn't returned to her mother's house for two or three years, and she didn't mention it in detail in the letter, but after all, it's not because of a woman that a man's double-mindedness is?'
While talking, a younger brother ran in holding a small snow ball, "Master, Grandma~~ The second aunt and second uncle are back." After hearing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and greeted them outside the courtyard.

I saw an ox cart coming, the driver was a farmer with a dark face, and a simple country woman was sitting in the cart, this is Jiang Yinghong, the second daughter of the Jiang family, and He Da, the man.

Jiang Yinghong married not far away, in the next village.

When they got out of the car at the door of the house, the couple greeted each other one by one: "Father, mother, elder brother and second brother, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law~~"

When she saw Shen Yuan and Ji Xun, Jiang Yinghong said happily: "This is my eldest niece Jiang Yuan? Look how beautiful she is!"

"Second aunt, second uncle." Shen Yuan called out with a smile.

"Hey~" Jiang Yinghong and He Da happily agreed, and looked at Ji Xun, "Is this our wishful husband? It's really good."

"Ji Xun met the second aunt, met the second uncle." Ji Xun also greeted respectfully.

Jiang Yinghong and He Da hurriedly agreed, and the other brothers and sisters also came to see the elders, and then the couple got things from the ox cart.

Apologizing to Shen Yu'an, "We don't have any good things in the countryside, they are all grown and raised at home, and we caught two chickens and two ducks." I am ashamed that I can't produce any good things when I go back to my mother's house.

Two chickens and two ducks, in the countryside where there is not enough food, maybe they are all the family's property, which really moved Shen Yu'an a little.

After carrying the chickens and ducks down, Jiang Yinghong took out another bag of dried river fish weighing seven or eight catties, "This bag of dried fish was caught by your uncle in the river when it rained and the water swelled a few days ago.'

After finishing speaking, he looked at He Da distressedly, "It's a life-threatening attempt to catch fish. I fell into the river and was almost pushed away by the flood~"

"This woman, why are you saying these words?" He Da scratched the back of his head and laughed.

Looking at this down-to-earth couple in the country, Shen Yuan felt very cordial, quickly took the bag in his hands, and said with a smile: "Dried river fish is my favorite, thank you, aunt and uncle."

The old lady Jiang had a distressed face, "Did you die for that? Don't do such stupid things in the future."

The old couple gave birth to three daughters. The eldest daughter, Jiang Yingxue, passed away a long time ago. The second daughter stayed in Jizhou for several years and did not return to her natal family. Only the third daughter was by her side to be filial.

"Third sister and third brother-in-law, why didn't you bring the child?" Gu asked strangely.

"Oh, Yaoyao's child's illness has suddenly worsened in the past few days, and we have to hurry back when we come back for dinner." Jiang Yinghong's expression darkened for a moment.

After speaking, he looked at Ding Shi and said with concern, "I heard that Lian girl's leg is injured and she may be paralyzed? I'll go and see her." He heard Yao Shi say it when he entered the village.

"Mother, what's wrong with Cousin Yaoyao?" After Jiang Yinghong left, Shen Yuan asked in a low voice in Gu's ear.

Mrs. Gu shook her head helplessly: "The doctor said there was something growing in the belly, I'm afraid it's a god who can't cure it~~ Is that your aunt's carriage?"

Shen Xiaomang raised his head and saw three carriages approaching, so he said "yes".

Seeing that He Da's bullock cart was blocking the way, the carriage in front stopped. Jiang Ying got out of the cart and kicked the bullock cart with disgust.

"Hey, third brother-in-law, can't your broken ox cart stop on one side? It's really~~" She insisted on yelling when she was able to pass.

"Hey, I'll move away now." He Da hurriedly drove the ox cart aside, and the three carriages stopped under the peach tree and the pear tree respectively after passing by.

Du Anbang got out of the car, as if he didn't see so many people standing at the gate of the courtyard, he went to the carriage next to him and said to Du Ruotong.

"It's poor or poor in this corner of the mountain, but the scenery is pretty good. Daughter, you can't see such a beautiful scenery in the city. Get out of the car."

Du Ruotong was reluctant to come at first, but after meeting Ji Xun, her cousin, she didn't regret coming this time. She got out of the car with her skirt in her hand, and looked around for the scenery after getting out of the car.

Over there, Jiang Yingru instructed the maid who accompanied her: "Xiaoxi, take the meat I bought out of the car."

"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Xi hurriedly ran to the car, and brought over the piece of meat that she snatched from Shen Yu'an in the morning.

Jiang Yingru walked in front of everyone with a sense of superiority, "Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, this is the pork I bought specially in the county. It weighs [-] catties." It looked like giving alms to the poor.

"How much did it cost?" Mrs. Jiang's face turned cold.

I didn't expect that this daughter didn't come back for a few years, and when she came back, she became like this. Look at this posture~~ Do you treat your relatives as beggars?
"It's not much, maybe a tael of silver." Jiang Yingru twitched the corners of her mouth triumphantly, and didn't forget to add, "You probably won't be willing to buy so much meat all year round, right? Cook more at night, and serve meat to everyone.'

It's not that she didn't see the chickens, ducks and geese on Shen Yu'an's horse this morning, but she mistakenly thought that they were sold in the county, but she didn't sell them, and came home again.

So I wholeheartedly believe that everyone sees such a big piece of meat, and I don’t know how slanderous it is.

What she said made Mrs. Jiang so angry that her nose almost smoked.

Their Jiang family has many children and little land. In the past, it was indeed poor, but after Shen Yuan and Ji Xun came, the red envelopes given to Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang by filial piety were 200 taels of silver notes each.

What kind of food can't be eaten at home? I really don't want to slander her for a few catties.

Mrs. Jiang's face was terribly gloomy, and she raised her chin to Mrs. Gu: "Eldest daughter-in-law, give her the money for the meat."

"Yes." Mrs. Gu agreed, took out a silver coin worth at least two taels, and handed it to Jiang Yingru, "Please trouble the second sister."

Jiang Yingru was stunned. She really didn't expect that her natal family, who was so poor that they couldn't even eat, would pay two taels of silver?
He hurriedly laughed a few times, "Although it's not reasonable to ask a daughter who has returned to her natal family to buy vegetables, it's not that we can't afford them, so we don't need to pay for them."

Mrs. Gu stuffed the money into her hand, "Take it, our family can still afford the meat." Then she returned it.

After hearing this, Jiang Yingru turned her gaze to Ji Xun, and twitched the corners of her mouth in jealousy.

"It seems that Jiang Yu's eldest niece is lucky. Not only was she able to come back after being kidnapped by Ren Yazi, but she also caught a golden tortoise son-in-law, haha."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Gu touched Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun, and led them back to the courtyard. Jiang Ming picked up the hoe outside the courtyard and went to work.

If you don't come back for several years, once you come back, it's like a grandma going to the countryside to bring warmth to poor households. The thief makes people worry.Jiang Liang and Ding Shi also said something casually and went back to the West Courtyard.

When Du Anbang came over with his daughter, Du Ruotong, only the Jiang family's old couple and a few younger brothers and sisters were left at the door.

Du Anbang was empty-handed, he didn't buy anything, only three or two carriages came, and the only thing he bought for his natal family was the few dozen catties of meat that Mrs. Jiang had given.

"Where are people? Why are they all gone? Don't you welcome us?" Du Anbang's sharp thin face was full of displeasure, "It seems that this pork was bought for nothing."

"My good son-in-law, you bought this meat for one tael of silver, and we gave you two taels of silver. You don't lose money, huh." Putting these words down heavily, even Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang walked away. .
