Chapter 611 An Old Hen

Cheng Haiwen's articles were published in several newspapers and periodicals one after another. Everyone was very popular for his ironic novels. His anti-feudal superstition ideas were supported by newspaper editors, and the royalties were sent one after another. This month alone, there are A total of 60 yuan is almost equivalent to Cheng Haiyi's monthly allowance.

The second eldest son of the family was very happy and went to visit relatives early in the morning. After the New Year, the fifth eldest son of the family would be 21 years old. According to rural customs, he should also make a marriage arrangement. Taking advantage of his high income now, he can find a good family. girl.

The elder sister-in-law was also preparing lunch at home. The two elders of the married family said that they were happy today and wanted to kill an old hen in the family to celebrate. When the children heard that there were chicken legs to eat, they all stared at the kitchen and wanted to stuff the chicken into their mouths immediately.

The whole yard was lively, except for the village-wide publicity with gongs and drums. This sound also reached Wu Qin's room. She was already dissatisfied with Cheng Haiwen, but now that she saw his life rising steadily, she became even more dissatisfied. I'm so angry.

She saw the second elder of the Cheng family going out and sitting directly in the main room, watching Cheng Haiwen making sarcastic remarks in an angry manner.

"Fifth brother, you make money really easily. You can make so much money just by writing at home. It's much better than your second brother digging wild vegetables in the mountains every day. Where is the remittance slip? Give it to your sister-in-law quickly and ask her to deposit it in On the public account.”

When Wu Qin heard that Cheng Haiwen's article was published, she was so angry that her teeth itched. She had already read the content. Although the names used were pseudonyms, she and Cheng Haiwen were scolded both inside and outside.

Naturally, she couldn't directly accuse Cheng Haiwen in front of the adult family. She could only use the money in his hand to vent her anger. Since he made money so easily, he should take the money and put it in the public account for everyone to spend it together.

"I have already withdrawn the money. I applied for a certificate at the bank in town. From now on, my royalties will be deposited there and I will keep them for myself."

Cheng Haiwen had been wary of Wu Qin for a long time. If the money continued to be placed in the public account, she would only misappropriate it bit by bit. It was safer to keep it in his own hands.

Moreover, he had already given the passbook to Bai Meixi, so even if Wu Qin turned over his room, he would not be able to find it.

"Lao Wu, what do you mean? You eat and live at home, but you hide private money so blatantly. Since we are not separated, we should naturally use all the money together. Your second brother and I will get married. Not a penny of the gift money was kept, it was all handed over to the public account, why did you withhold the money!"

Wu Qin became anxious when she heard that Cheng Haiwen had withheld the money. She accused Cheng Haiwen of being selfish and asked him to hand over the money immediately, otherwise he would not eat at home.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm afraid you have forgotten how the money for your wedding came from. It was a banquet with my royalties. Those gifts were originally given by the big guy for the sake of my parents, and they were also paid back by my parents. , you didn’t pay a penny, you’re not qualified to take those things in the first place, if you’re not satisfied, just go out with your second brother.”

Cheng Haiwen's eloquence was directly proportional to the growth of his writing skills. He grasped Wu Qin's pain point, which was that she did not dare to separate the family, not to mention that she absolutely did not dare to admit that the heroine in his article was her, otherwise she would She would once again become the laughing stock of the whole village and be discussed by everyone after dinner. Maybe the second elder would find her too embarrassing and let her go back to her previous house.

"You...you wait!" Wu Qin was no match for him at all. She was defeated in just a few words. Her only weapon was her stomach. When she saw Cheng Haiqiang coming in from the door, she immediately covered her stomach. She kept oozing in his arms.

"Hai Qiang, I have no status at all in your family. Even your brother bullies me. We might as well leave together. I don't want to have this child anymore. Ouch, my stomach hurts. Ouch!" Wu Qin screamed very miserably, and Cheng Haiqiang naturally protected her. He helped Wu Qin to the chair next to him, and picked up the feather duster at home to beat her into Haiwen.

"Hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law. If anything happens to her and the child, neither my parents nor I will spare you."

Cheng Haiqiang didn't dare to be cruel to Cheng Haiwen. Now Cheng Haiwen was the glory of the entire Cheng Haiwen family. His parents doted on Cheng Haiwen. If he was really scarred by him, maybe the two elders of the Cheng Haiwen family would directly drive him to the yard. Sleep inside.

He knocked on the table in front of him hard, trying to use this as a threat to make Cheng Haiwen apologize to Wu Qin.

"Second brother, when my parents come back, I will tell them that you sleep in the second sister-in-law's room every night. When the child is gone, you will see who the parents will punish!"

Cheng Haiwen left a sentence unhurriedly, making Cheng Haiqiang and Wu Qin immediately dumbfounded. The two of them had criminal records. If Cheng Haiwen really went to complain to the two elders of the Cheng family, the two of them would definitely suffer. No need to walk around.

"Did that kid take magic medicine recently? Why is he so powerful?" Cheng Haiqiang looked at Cheng Haiwen's leaving back and couldn't believe it. In the past, his younger brother had always been a boring gourd and couldn't say a word for a day. Now he is quarreling with others. There was no room left, and he didn't even have a chance to talk back.

"There is a miracle medicine there. Didn't you see him running to the attic every day? Bai Meixi must have taught him these words!" Wu Qin was so angry that she was half-dead. She had heard about Bai Meixi's power before, and she thought She was forced to live in the attic, far away from the main house of her family, so she had no control over the affairs at home. Unexpectedly, she found Cheng Haiwen, a puppet, who had trouble with her in everything.

Wu Qin and Cheng Haiqiang were sulking in the room, and soon the smell of mushroom stewed chicken came in. The sister-in-law specially added a few red dates to the chicken soup, which was definitely a tonic soup.

In order to comfort Wu Qin, Cheng Haiqiang offered to go to the kitchen to get chicken legs to replenish her health. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his sister-in-law filling a small jar. It was specially used to deliver food to Bai Meixi. Cheng Haiqiang looked at it. The sister-in-law stuffed a whole chicken leg inside, and also put a lot of chicken soup and red dates.

He felt a little unhappy. He always felt that his family treated Bai Meixi better than Wu Qin. He opened the pot and took out another chicken drumstick, intending to give it to Wu Qin.

"My parents said that this chicken leg is a special reward for the fifth child. You can get some chicken breast. The chicken breast is tender." When the sister-in-law saw Cheng Hai Qiang taking the chicken leg, she quickly stopped her. How to divide the chicken? It's early for the two of us to get married. There are instructions not to move.

"My parents are too partial." Cheng Haiqiang wanted to get angry, but he knew that his sister-in-law couldn't make the decision. Since his parents had spoken, no one could do anything about it. He hurriedly put chicken breasts and even chicken soup into the bowl. A lot of them splashed out.

"Hai Qiang, why are you losing your temper again? Didn't I tell you everything? The main money-makers in the family now are the third brother and the fifth brother. They should have something good to eat. If we have some, it will be good."

When Wu Qin heard Cheng Haiqiang losing his temper, she pretended to be weak and dragged him back into the house. When passing by Bai Meixi's earthen jar, she quietly opened her hand and put two black mushrooms in, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. It's a sneer.
