Reborn Peasant Girl: I Rely on Carpentry as Minister of Industry

Chapter 31
The main room of the Jiang family is quite large, divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. There is an altar in the inside, and incense is offered to the ancestors of the family every New Year's Eve or during festivals.

And the outside room is where the family's daily activities are. There is an old portrait hanging in the middle of the front wall. In the painting, the old man is holding carpentry tools. Is this the Luban Patriarch?

On both sides of the portrait, there are long couplets, "The sages are respected for thousands of years, and the teacher is the world-honored one." '

It's really a portrait of the carpenter's ancestor. Mr. Jiang said that he is the [-]th generation successor of Luban, which may be true, but the inheritance and transmission began to shrink.

From some of the furniture in the hall, which were sewn and mended and made by poor carpentry, it can be seen that Mr. Jiang's carpentry only has half a bucket of water.

There is a set of tall tables and chairs, the table is square, and there are some crooked carvings on the side.

The chair is a high-backed armchair, barely flat, but even so ugly, such furniture is still very precious in the farmhouse.

In the upright position, there are usually two elderly people sitting at home.

There are rows of chairs and stools on the left and right sides of the lower head, but many of the chairs have uneven legs, and the important thing is to meet people who can sit on them; there are two large round tables in the middle, and some of the table legs are padded with stones, which are used for daily meals. .

There are chaise longues and other small furniture or tools on the side, some are made of wood, some are made of bamboo and wicker, but almost all of them are incomplete.

No wonder no one in the third room of the family is willing to learn carpentry from Old Jiang.

But this kind of craftsmanship is enough for farmers. There is no place to sit in other people's homes, and the shadow of the table is even less visible.

After He entered the room, he spontaneously sat down on the right side of her seat, with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

Old Jiang came in and sat on the left side of the front, and pulled a chair beside him for Old Man Niu to sit with.

Then the second room, Jiang Chang'an, and the others consciously sat down at the left door.

After a while, the Dafang family arrived. The 32-year-old uncle Jiang Shimu had a serious face, and he brought his wife Li Shi. Even the 12-year-old eldest son Jiang Jiawen did not go to the Jiangjia private school in the town today.

Dafang also has two daughters, the third and sixth among the three. They are ten and seven years old respectively. Their names are Jiang Xing and Jiang Tao, but neither of them have gone to school.

Sanfang was late, and Jiang Shisen followed his wife, Jiang Shisen, dejectedly. There were a few clear scratches on his face, which should have been scratched by Jiang Shisen.

The three sons of Sanfang also came. They were eight-year-old Jiang Jiaxing who was studying in the Jiangjia private school, seven-year-old Jiang Jiawang who was studying in the town school like Erfang Jiang Jiabao, and four-year-old Jiang Jiarong.

They are ranked four, five and eight, while Jiang Jiabao and Jiang Chang are arranged in rows two and seven.

Except for the married Fourth Aunt Jiang Xiu, all members of the Jiang family are here.

There are a total of sixteen people, except for Jiang Changan who was stupid before, everyone in the Jiang family is neat and neat, and no one has any defects. It can be regarded as a prosperous and blessed family. Rong.

Unlike other households in the village, there are many missing arms and legs, large birthmarks on the face, fools, and lunatics
But, what's the use of being good-looking, and being out of sync is also a mess, and it won't do anything.

Moreover, there is already a gap between them, and if they continue to mix up, they will die due to internal friction.

Then, let's separate and live according to our own ability, and we can't blame others for the result.

After the people in the third room sat down, the old man Jiang took out the list issued by the medical clinic and handed it to the boss Jiang Shimu. There were five sheets of paper in total, one for each person who had seen the doctor.

"This is the pulse case and medication prescribed by the medical center. The second child is 30 taels and the follow-up medication has not been prescribed. The old man is 20 taels, and the other three are one tael, a total of 51 taels."

"Why do you spend money when you have nothing to do? And why should they?" Mrs. Jiang interrupted without waiting for Old Man Jiang to finish speaking.

"Shut up! You don't need to spend money if you don't beat the three of them? If you didn't get used to Jiang Laosan's fault, would my second child and I be beaten to death by others? How dare you talk nonsense? You don't know how to repent." !"

I have never beaten this old woman in my life, and I can bear her, old man Jiang blows his beard and stares.

"Then why don't you tell me why I beat them? It's all the second son of that bitch. I said at the beginning that I couldn't marry such a woman with a wicked look, but you father and son didn't listen. Now it's all right, they robbed them Come to the door, you deserve to be killed!"

In the beginning, Mrs. Jiang actually didn't stop her very strongly. After all, the Yao family didn't need a dowry to marry back. She is usually hardworking and gave birth to a son in the first year.

Until the little idiot Jiang Changan was born later, Mrs. Jiang saw that Yao shi was not pleasing to the eye everywhere, but Jiang's second child protected her tightly. Usually, she could only beat and scold Yao shi and the little idiot in private, but this kind of opportunity Very little.

Because Yao shi worked in the field with Jiang Lao Er, and Jiang Changan went to school when he was three years old.

"What's wrong with the Yao family? He is honest and responsible, has children for the second child, and An Sheng has been fine for many years. If it wasn't for Jiang Lao San to provoke the bully's wife, would he have called him?
You foolish old woman, you still hope that my son and I deserve to die?Really capable. "The old woman was not like this when she was young, but, people will always change, become the kind of person who doesn't listen to what he says, and can't control it if he wants to, and finally leads to a catastrophe.

"It was the third child who provoked her. Why didn't they ask the third daughter-in-law to pay off the debt, and they insisted on the second wife. It's not because she is alluring. Who's to blame?" Mrs. Jiang was still blushing.

Sanfang Jiang's face darkened, she acted ugly, right?It's so ugly that you don't even want to give it to others.

"You don't understand the reason and are messing around. I don't want to listen to you anymore. If you say one more word, I will divorce you and return you to your natal family today." Old man Jiang made the final decision.

Only then did Mrs. Jiang look at Old Man Jiang awkwardly. This old man had never said anything harsh to her in his life, but now he wanted to divorce her and go back to her mother's house?
The old man turned his eyebrows coldly at her just to say goodbye, and Mrs. Jiang was sad, as if she had lost her soul, and finally calmed down.

Only then did Old Man Jiang turn to the juniors, and continued: "We brought 26 taels from home, of which 25 taels were borrowed, and we owed 35 taels to the hospital, so the total debt is [-] taels.

Boss, you first talk about your views. "

Boss Jiang held five medical case sheets, and never left his eyes. Hearing his father's question, he opened and closed his mouth, closed it and opened it again, and finally didn't say a word.

What can he say?What can he say if he has no skills in farming alone?Is it not enough to have raised those two people for many years?
Seeing this, Old Man Jiang became disappointed in his elder son again, "Boss, you only see money spent, right?

But he doesn't care at all about how his father and younger brother, who spent so much money on medical treatment, are in good health now?Are you cured?Even if we are dead now, don't you even blink?

Why are you so indifferent and selfish?It is true that the main force of the family work is your first wife, but didn't the second wife do it?He is your own brother, you must distinguish clearly?
You all blame the second room for sending a daughter in Chang'an to study, but why didn't you think that the second child didn't spend money when he married his wife?

You blame your mother for doting on the third child, and usually the third wife does less work, but half of the dowry brought by the third wife is handed over to the public.

At that time, the three of you brothers were getting married one after another, and your family had no money, so you used the dowry of the third wife to get through those difficult days. Even the opening expenses of the big family's family were paid by the third wife.

There are not many three brothers, and they can overcome many difficulties if they work together. The villagers in the village will look up to you, and no one will dare to bully you easily when you go out of the mountain village.

Your mother and I worked hard to give birth to so many brothers for you, just hoping that you can unite and help each other to reach the peak, and don't suffer the pain of being an only child and letting others bully you.

Like me, I have no one to help me when I have something to do, and I don’t even get the family land. "The old man Jiang was in tears, and he didn't understand why these children didn't understand his good intentions?
