Chapter 70

But Meng Changdong was honest by nature and didn't say anything.

Meng Hai regarded Zhang's small movements as invisible, and said to himself, "This time, Xi'er has contributed the most and worked the hardest. Give Xi'er two or two."

While talking, Meng Hai took out two small silver ingots from the purse and handed them to Xi'er.

Xi'er stretched out her hand to take the money, she deserved it, she didn't refuse, she just smiled and said, "Thank you dad."

"Well, put it away." The smile on Meng Hai's face became even heavier. As a young girl, she was really a blessing in disguise.

Meng Hai took out another silver ingot, handed it to Meng Yuaner, and then said, "Yuaner has worked hard too."

"Father, this is what I should do." Meng Yuan'er was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing that Xi'er followed up generously, she naturally followed suit.

Meng Hai nodded, took out the money bag, took out another silver ingot and handed it to Meng Changdong, then said, "Changdong, this is for you, keep it."

When Mrs. Zhang saw that her own house was actually a silver ingot, she felt a little unhappy.

"Father, Changdong is the eldest son of the Meng family anyway. Why, why doesn't he share more than Xi'er." Mrs. Zhang thought that her words were reserved, but except for her and Xi'er, everyone present had expressions on their faces. Everything has changed.

Meng Changdong didn't take the money, but pushed it back, saying, "Father, I didn't do much work on this matter, and logging is also paid by my father, so I absolutely can't take this money."

At first, Mrs. Zhang thought that the money was not enough, so why don't you want it as a husband!

Meng Hai didn't talk to Mrs. Zhang, just looked at Meng Changdong and said, "You can take this money, I said it will be shared among you three brothers and sisters, naturally everyone has it, and Xi'er deserves her share." Yes, anyone who is not convinced can earn it himself."

Although these words were addressed to Meng Changdong, they were addressed to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, never expecting that her father-in-law would treat her like this. Although she was unhappy, she knew it was her fault, so she immediately said with a shy smile, "Yes, what father said is right, take it quickly, Mr. Zhang." .”

She was afraid that if Meng Changdong declined again, the money would really be forfeited.

Seeing that her eldest brother still didn't move, Xi'er also knew that he was afraid that he felt sorry for not being able to get the money, so she immediately said, "Brother, we are all brothers and sisters, so we shouldn't care about these things, but when I had an accident before, it was because of my elder brother's help." Take care, take this money quickly."

"That's right, brother, take it quickly." Meng Yuan'er also chimed in.

Hearing what the two younger sisters said, Meng Changdong finally reached out and collected the money.

Meng Hai took out another two taels of silver and put it on the table, and then said to everyone, "I will save these two taels of silver for the New Year, and I will put it with your mother, and wait for the first month of the twelfth lunar month to buy new year's goods."

"All according to father." Xi'er nodded without any objection.

She really didn't expect that her father would give everyone "pocket money", and two taels of silver was considered a huge sum of money.

Xi'er doesn't know about other places, but in Lianzhen, two taels of silver can buy a lot of things. Last time I bought so many things by myself, I still had two hundred Wen left.

Seeing that it was winter, there was no work to do in the fields. Not only Meng Hai and Meng Changdong were idle at home, but also the people in the village were idle.

Except for some who need to go up the mountain to log, everyone ushered in the annual holiday.

There are more and more people in this series.

Because of Xi'er's fraudulent corpse, many people felt that it was bad luck, so they stopped visiting Meng's house, but they saw people like Chu Zigui coming to Meng's house a few times ago, and they also went to Meng's house every other time in a month. Family, everyone is very curious, could it be that the Meng family has made a fortune?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family who live in the east of the village are logically regarded as distant relatives of the Liu family. went.

"Aunt Zhou, why are you here?" Mrs. Liu opened the door, saw Mrs. Zhou and her youngest daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang standing at the gate of the courtyard, and rushed to greet her.

The old lady Zhou is the cousin of Mrs. Liu's mother. Although they both married in the same village, this old lady Zhou doesn't like to associate with Mrs. Liu. The Meng family is really too poor.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhou immediately smiled and said, "Hey, girl Lanhua, I thought it was almost Chinese New Year, so I came to see you."

Liu still remembered that the last time she came was before Xi'er's accident, but the Zhou family's house was built halfway up the mountain, and it was in the village, so it was a bit far away.

"Thank you, Auntie, for thinking about it. Come into the house quickly." Mrs. Liu smiled and led the two of them into the yard.

Xi'er and Meng Yuaner were basking in the sun in the yard, sewing and mending with their hands. Because the weather was cold, the quilts at home were not too warm. Mrs. Liu liked the bedding that Xi'er made before. , and started to do it for everyone.

"Yuan'er, Xi'er, come and call someone." Mrs. Liu entered the yard and hurriedly called her two daughters to come forward. She helped the old lady Zhou who was almost 70 years old and said, "This is your aunt Zhou." After that, he pointed to the woman next to Mrs. Zhou and said, "This is your cousin."

"Hello, auntie, hello cousin." The two girls put down their work and ran forward to shout sweetly.

The old lady Zhou looked at the two children's appearance, and then she smiled and said, "Well, well, it's really good, I have followed your mother's appearance, if your grandma is still here!"

"Auntie, come in quickly." When Mrs. Zhou mentioned her mother, Liu felt uncomfortable and interrupted hurriedly.

The old lady already had a bad memory, so she forgot about it after such an interruption, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's go into the house."

Helping the old lady into the house, Xi'er and Meng Yuan'er were still standing in the yard. Xi'er didn't have a deep impression of this old lady, but only remembered the shadow of such a person in her mind.

"Second Sister, why do you think this old lady looks so mean?" Xi'er believed in the matter of her eyesight. She was like this with Aokiji before. Full of savvy.

When Meng Yuaner heard this, she hurriedly whispered, "What do you think! This old lady is not simple. I heard that our grandma was seriously ill at the time, and my mother cried and knelt to borrow money, but she didn't borrow it. In the end, grandma was gone. Mother hasn't been with them for many years."

"Then, then why are you dating again?" Xi'er was really puzzled, this is almost catching up with the bloody feud, is mother such a bun?

Meng Yuan'er sighed, and then said, "You don't know, when our family first arrived in Baimiao Village, there was no land to grow, and this old lady took the initiative to sell their family's land to Dad cheaply. Is there any other way?"
