Chapter 31 The Family Story

Old Liang was so angry that he couldn't say a word, and Mrs. Tan scolded in grief: "Damn you, you have no conscience and no responsibility, so many of us can't make it, your eldest brother can do it alone? Cruel-hearted, Just watch your elder brother go to prison? No matter how muddy he is, the same blood drips from your bones!"

"Father, mother, girl Xi has already said that the disaster was picked by the eldest brother, and he collected the 200 taels of silver. He has been running the shop these years, and according to his temperament of plucking wild goose, he has more or less money in his hands. Save up some private houses. 350 taels of silver is for us, that is a big deal, but for big brother, that is not necessarily the case!" Liang Yulin cried, and said that Liang Yuju had been carrying the old Liangtou and Tan's back all these years. , The matter of embezzling the money in the shop, more than half of it was shaken out.

Old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan were startled and angry, and everyone in the room opened their eyes wide in shock. Liang Yuzhong blushed and couldn't speak, but Liang Yuzhou blushed with anger and had a thick neck. Liang Lisheng A few of them were a little bit aggrieved by their father.

"Father, my son is telling the truth. The eldest brother is the maltose. If you don't squeeze it out, you have to squeeze it to your death! Our big family is the eldest brother, who sells grain and livestock. Add 100 Going in with two taels more is just enough! I will have to tighten my trouser pockets to live in poverty in the future, and if I pay more than 300 taels of debt, your son and I will take your grandson to jump into the river!"

Liang Yulin cried sadly and desperately in front, and Yang Shi and Liang Libai followed behind, rolling all over the ground, shouting: "I can't live, I can't live..."

The canteen of Lao Liang's house suddenly exploded into a pot of porridge, and it was extremely lively!
This matter has been going on for a whole day, and it finally calmed down around noon. Old Liangtou finally made a concession and agreed to borrow the 350 taels of silver in Liang Yuju's name.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lao Liang's family soldiers were divided into several groups, and they were all sent out to find ways to raise money.

Liang Yulin often traveled to Changqiao Town to get acquainted with more people, so Old Liang Tou sent him to the town's market to inquire about the sales of grain, cotton and other crops.In view of Liang Yulin's previous poor performance, Tan ordered Liang Yuzhong and Liang Lisheng to go together to assist and supervise.

Liang Yuzhou, Liang Lizhi and his nephew are in charge of connecting cattle dealers and butchers in the town and nearby villages.

Old Liangtou was not idle either. Old Liangtou visited the houses of several old brothers who had friendship in the village one by one. Even Li Zhengna, Lao Liangtou visited with gifts.

Liang Lihui stayed in his room as usual, studying books.

Tan took Liang Yumei and turned Jin's and Yang's houses upside down.Because of Jin Xi's words and Liang Yuzhong's attitude, the Sun family was spared the confiscation for the first time this time. Jin Xi guessed that there was another point that the Tan family knew all about the possessions in the Sun family's house, and the search could not find anything valuable Come.

But Yang's house is different.

In the front room, Tan's scolding and Yang's crying never stopped.

In the backyard, Mrs. Sun and Jinxi sisters have never been idle.

In autumn, when the sun is bright, Sun takes a big dustpan to dry crops such as peanuts and mung beans, and sweeps the front and back of the house.After cleaning, Tan ordered her to water the vegetables in the backyard, and then fed the pigs and chickens.

After cooking the lunch, in the afternoon, Mrs. Yang was forcibly sent back to her natal home by Mrs. Tan.Mrs. Jin went to shovel the pigsty as usual, and Mrs. Tan asked Mrs. Sun to take sister Jinxi to break cotton stalks. The broken cotton stalks were bundled with straw into a small pile of firewood, and then stacked in the woodshed.When using it, you just need to use a fire stick to pick up the bundled straw and stuff it directly into the stove. It saves trouble, but the process of breaking and bundling is very tiring.

"Mother, I heard from Brother Liqing that grandma and my sister found some good clothes and dozens of pennies in the second mother's house last night. The grandma was taken away, saying that it was from a farmer's family, so don't worry about it." If you want to take such good clothes, Erma will cry like she has cut her flesh." In the firewood shed in the backyard, Jin Rou clumsily helped Jin Xi bind the straw, and when she was eating at noon, she heard it from Liang Liqing. Yes, take it out and share it with your mother and sister.

Mrs. Sun was not surprised by this, and did not delay her work at all, she just said: "Your grandma's eyes can't be rubbed with sand."

"Mother, grandma, why did you send Erma back to her mother's house at this time?" Jin Xi was a little puzzled: "Isn't grandma wanting Erma to go back to her mother's house to help beat the autumn wind?"

Sun's movements paused, her expression a little uncomfortable: "Your grandma's plan, how would you know!"

The in-law's family owed debts, and sent the daughter-in-law back to her natal family to fish them out. If it was rumored, Tan's backbone would also be exposed.

"Your grandma is shrewd in doing things. If you can figure it out as a child, she can do it with iron nails!" Sun went on to say, which means that Tan has grasped Yang and is sure that Yang will not Dare to chew out.

"Mother, why did grandma only send Second Mom back to her mother's house alone to enjoy the autumn breeze? Don't you still have Big Mom and you!" Jin Xi chatted to relieve the boredom and fatigue of folding cotton stalks, and Jin Rou pricked up her ears to listen.

"Your aunt's natal family is far away from here. Ever since I married into Lao Liang's family, I haven't seen her interact with her there. From what she said, there is no one close to her natal family! As for me, you guys My in-law’s house is behind that mountain, and it won’t take three or two days to go back and forth.”

When Sun's natal family was mentioned, Jin Xi simply asked a few more questions.

"Mom, you haven't been back for three or two years, right? Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Sun's movement stopped, and she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "What can I do, since your Gagong passed away, the family is not as good as before. Your Gapo is a woman's family, and you want to pull your aunt and uncle. It’s not bad if you can eat enough, how can you have the time to take care of me, a married girl? Besides, I married outside the mountain, so you don’t have to worry about it if you eat enough and dress warmly!”

Even though Sun said that, Jin Xi could clearly see the fleeting sadness on her face.

"Ga Po doesn't have the time to come and see Mother, so Mother can take Dad to see Ga Po and my aunt and uncle!" Jin Xi said.

"Sister, what you said won't work!" Jinrou interjected, "Did my sister forget that on the second day of the first lunar month of the year before last, my parents took our sisters to the mountain to pay New Year's greetings to Granny, and the ox cart was frightened on the mountain road. A wooden wheel disappeared, and we turned back halfway, so I was so scolded! Afterwards, Granny sent my uncle to the house, and my uncle ate and hung up!"

Jin Xi suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing in the memory of her predecessor.That time the wooden wheel disappeared, and Mrs. Sun stayed up all winter nights. The few new pairs of shoes she made for her natal brothers and sisters were all put in a bag, and the bag was also lost.
