peasant shrew

Chapter 141

"If you are short of money to buy land, your mother and I can help you." Thinking of Liu's daughter's dozens of taels of silver, Lin Dayong said hastily, "Solid farming and selling food are more secure than showing up in public. too much."

"Father, you have been farming all your life, and four or five acres of fine land cost at least thirty taels of silver. But based on your experience, in addition to paying taxes to the public, the little we produce in the field is enough to feed a family. ? Encountering a big flower item, is the little food at home enough to deal with it?"

Now Lin Dayong is completely silent, and he has a solid foundation in his heart.One mu of fertile land can harvest at most two stones of crops in one year, which will be enough to feed and drink for the whole family after taxes are removed.So when they are free on weekdays, both men and women in the family will find some work to subsidize the family.

Lin Dayong was very reluctant to ask his daughter to wash clothes and make groceries for others to earn money.

"With your man, is it possible that he can make you and the baby hungry?" Although he also felt that what the girl said made sense in his heart, Lin Dayong still couldn't turn the corner.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Lin Dayong, how could she not see that he was twisting his temper and accepting death?In his heart, he is afraid that he is more anxious about the life of Yue Niang's family than himself.There is no half of the land, and no load of food.If the son-in-law doesn't go to the mountains and doesn't have a separate livelihood, I'm afraid this winter will be difficult.

"Okay, Yueniang has a family by herself, why are you so worried about being a father? Let me see, Yueniang and Tieniu are kind-hearted, as long as the two are down-to-earth and willing to work, farming and doing business How much difference can it make?" Mrs. Liu cast a sideways glance at Lin Dayong, then turned to look at her daughter and asked, "If you are short on money, tell mother that she still has some money."

After all, it's the matter of the daughter-in-law's family, even if she wants to help, it's not easy to say so.What's more, it's unreasonable for a mother to meddle in the affairs of her daughter-in-law's family.

The whole family chatted lively again, although Lin Dayong was still a little nervous, but in the end he felt that it was good for his daughter to do what she wanted.

Seeing the sun set to the west, Lin Yueniang thought that Mrs. Zhou was at home alone, so she couldn't afford to leave her for lunch.So I didn't bother anymore, took the cloth ruler that Mrs. Liu was looking for and left.

But when he was about to get into the bullock cart, Lin Dayong patted Zhao Tieniu's arm with an expression of "my daughter is the best", and said earnestly: "Tie Niu, Yueniang has a straight temper and is used to being unreasonable and unforgiving. Yes, if you do something wrong, you should be more patient."

This shot directly caused Zhao Tieniu's arm to hurt, let alone his father-in-law's hands are really strong.But when he thought of his daughter-in-law getting angry at his fourth aunt's house, he thought it was pretty, so he nodded immediately.

When I got home, it was already blackened.Zhou Shi, who heard the noise, just finished cooking.Hearing that her son and daughter-in-law had closed down the shop and set up their belongings, she could only let go of her heart.

The three of them gathered a few mouthfuls of food around the table, and then discussed what to carry.According to Yueniang's wishes, what the family has is taken from the house. Although there is still some money in hand, it is not possible to save as much as possible in the life of the farmer.

Early the next morning, Yueniang got up to pack the pots and buckets, prepared a few pieces of dry food and pickles, and asked Zhao Tieniu to tie a lot of firewood to the ox cart.But when she was ready to go with her, Zhao Tieniu put his arm in front of her.

"Daughter-in-law, you can rest at home for a while today. I'll go and clean the shop first." Zhao Tieniu wiped his face, "I'll come back later to pick you up and take a look with your mother after cleaning up. Just in time, let's Also move two beds over there, in case the business closes late one day, you can make do with it there.”

Lin Yueniang knew that he was afraid that he would be tired.But she slept late last night, and she is indeed not in a good mood today.And if you go to clean up, it will inevitably be dusty, and I'm afraid it's not good for the baby in your stomach.

Thinking of this, Lin Yueniang didn't say anything else, she just instructed him a few words carefully, and she reluctantly returned to the house until she sent him out of the gate.Zhou Shi also lit the lamp at first, but looking through the window at the young couple who were very close outside, she silently extinguished the candle.

With her body, even if she tried her best to help with the work, it would still be a burden.It's better to watch the door at home and cook a quick meal for the children by the way.

In the first noon, Zhao Tieniu came back with his car, pulled some quilts and the small cabinet where sundries were kept, and hurried away again.It was not until the sun was about to set that people came back.

This time, he was a bit ashamed, and his body was covered with dust.But looking at the appearance, he was so happy that he could hardly find Bei.
