husband and wife

Chapter 196

It's just that when the in-laws came over, the bonus they sent was nearly three times more than their usual, which was a full 1000 taels!Song's mother used to be full of money. This year, she produced a lot of wine, which is enough to sell. She can get four to five hundred taels. Of course, she can maintain the usual income of about 500 taels. She is also satisfied, but she dare not even dream about it. Half a year of red wine bonus, I got 300 taels!No wonder Song's mother blurted out on the spot whether her in-laws had robbed the money. Song's mother really didn't expect this business to bring in so much money.

Even Papa Su, who thinks he is old and intends to provide for his life, has rekindled his blood for this business, and one can imagine its future.

Song's mother held the money in her hand, no matter how she calculated the accounts, she found that she couldn't use up the 1000 taels, not to mention the dividends every six months. Then she realized that her family was really rich. There is confidence in going out and speaking.The money in her family is too much to spend, and Song's mother looks down on the two eldest daughters-in-law carefully thinking about the family background of Ziheng's daughter-in-law, and she is not born to pick. Drinking and eating meat every day, silk and satin every day?In the past, my family had no choice, and Ziheng's wife was not a perceptive person, so she would help if she could. Affluent, it doesn't matter if it leaks from the nails to her family, but it doesn't make sense to her. She has a lot of money, and the dowry from her in-laws is generous, and she doesn't owe them anything. She can't see it as a favor to help her family. Even if she can see it, she spends her dowry to buy meat and fish every day, and when she opens her eyes and sees that they can't even eat white rice, they don't say anything about her.

After thinking about it like this, Mother Song felt that the eyes of the two eldest daughters-in-law were a bit shallow. When giving lucky money to the grandchildren on New Year's Eve, she gave one to each of the three daughters-in-law, all of which were 20 taels of silver ingots. Mrs. Li's hands were shaking when she was holding the money, and she looked at Mother Song in disbelief, who sat on top and smiled and said, "We don't have a separate family, we live and eat together, and there is nowhere to spend money." , so I will take care of your bonuses for the time being. This rule is correct, but we have worked hard for a year, and now that we have made money, we will also give you some money for pocket expenses. I don’t care how you want to spend pocket money. little thing."

Touching the silver ingot, Mrs. Li was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Mother, let's eat it at home..."

"Of course I will pay for the food. You keep the money for yourself. Our family's conditions are good, and we won't treat our daughters-in-law badly. Ziheng's daughter-in-law will also take it safely. Everyone should have it, and you will not miss it." .”

Su Wan smiled and said: "Mother must have made a fortune this year, I will not be polite to you, I will take whatever you give me."

Mother Song made a gesture to protect the purse: "That's all, don't think about me anymore!"

Su Wan even smiled and said: "It seems that mother's family is still rich, little girl remember to set up a table of cards to play later, let's make a good profit from mother today."

Song Xiaomei nodded while pinching a few scraps of silver in her sleeve pocket. Her money was not given in front of everyone, but her mother subsidized her in private. She said that although it doesn't cost money to eat at home, she still has money now. When I grow up, I should learn how to dress up, like the third sister-in-law, dressed carefully and delicately, although I don't often use rouge and water powder, I know how to use it and when it is best, so that I can look like a lady At the beginning of the outfit, her mother wanted her to study hard before going out, so that she would go out with her son-in-law in the future, so as not to embarrass her son-in-law.

Here, Song's mother and Zhang's family were asking Su Wan what cards to play, so Su Wan explained the rules of fighting landlords, and finally said: "The wives in the city love this game. Just lose a copper coin, you can't make much money in a day, and you can't lose a lot of money, but it's perfect for killing time, otherwise, mother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will also learn to play, and our family will play some in the future. Do you need to work on your own? We have invited long-term workers and maids, and even the meals are prepared and served to eat. Wouldn’t it be good to have some fun when you have nothing to do? Let’s not mention the future for the time being. Things, playing with this is also a way to pass the time."

I said before that no matter how the family is, I know that I have silver at home, but Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li looked at the silver by themselves, and couldn’t touch it at a glance. The feeling is actually different. Now it’s really in my hands, 20 taels of silver They are all so heavy, and the mother-in-law also said that it is for her own pocket money. After the dividends are distributed every six months, she will give them some pocket money according to the dividends. It is estimated that it will not be less than this time. Eyes are red, 20 taels of silver for half a year, 40 taels a year, this money is completely their own, and they can use it as they like, and their parents-in-law will pay for the food at home. They didn't dare to think of such a good thing before think.

At that time, when doing this business, it was agreed that every brother would have a [-]% bonus, but the money was not in his own hands, so what he said was false. Now that Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li have taken so much money all at once, they know how to live a good life. It's really here, it's the benefits brought by the in-laws, Mrs. Li would wake up laughing at night with the money in her arms, wishing to confess Mrs. Su's father and Mrs. Su as the God of Wealth. My wife likes Liangyu, so if I stay with him for a few more days, I will only wish for it!
Song Ziheng's brothers took their children to their respective Yue's homes to pay New Year's greetings, and the house immediately became empty. The Song family's yard was already big, but now it looks even more empty. The Song family raised a stove, and the fire was burning brightly. Dozing off in the chair, Su Wan and Song Xiaomei brought Song's mother to play Doudizhu together. The cards were brought back from the county. Song's mother would not recognize them. After a few times of playing cards, she finally got the meaning out of it. Aunt Caifu next door called her and refused to go out, so she stayed at home while warming up by the fire while playing Landlord with Su Wan and the others. Seeing the novelty, Aunt Caifu refused to leave. Just sit and watch them play.

Aunt Caifu didn't know the way at first, and she would talk to Song's mother a few words, and inquired about planting grapes next time, "Mother Yougen, we have been friends for decades, or you can tell me the truth, you How many grapes does the in-laws harvest every year? Ever since the village chief called all the men in our village to talk, everyone has been talking about it these days. , why is it not enough?"
