peasant shrew

Chapter 49

"I'm not deaf. If you have nothing to do, go and boil water with sister-in-law." Lin Chengcai was in a mess, and he spoke angrily.This woman, it's true that which pot can't be opened and which pot can't be lifted, why can't things happen so well.Now we have a good relationship with the eldest brother's family, but we only get rich and don't suffer.

Seeing the foolishness of her man, Mrs. Zhang wished to kick him twice.

"I said you are stupid. Our family still has a daughter and a boy. If we raise another one who is paralyzed on the kang, we can't live well? Besides, if Mingzi said to marry, who would marry the daughter into a paralyzed old man?" Isn’t this an obvious thing.” Zhang’s small thoughts moved quickly, she asked the doctor just now, and they said that in this case, it would cost more than ten taels of silver to drink the medicine until he could talk less.If you are unlucky, it is estimated that drinking medicine for a lifetime will be like that.

This is a bottomless pit, even if the mother-in-law has a few coins in her hands, how many days can she last?If this continues, the family will be ruined sooner or later.

"In my opinion, it's time for us to separate. My mother-in-law has held the family's money for so many years. I guess it must be at least a hundred taels. Besides, the yard of this house and the fields are also worth some money... ..." Mrs. Zhang was full of calculations, but she didn't know that the fifth aunt, the famous gossip of the Lin family, was pricking her ears through the low wall.

"What? Break up!" Lin Chengcai was startled, and his voice rose several degrees in an instant.

"You idiot, keep your voice down." Mrs. Zhang was also bluffed by her own man for a while, looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so she was relieved.While she was aggrieved and began to wipe her tears, she still said, "Don't say I have no conscience, it's just that our family is a family that wants to support scholars, so who can't spend money on this bunch of repairing pens, ink, paper and inkstones? With Xuezi’s marriage, if it is said to be a wealthy family, we must prepare a dowry. Then there is Hammer and Niudan, these two little ones, maybe they will have the fate of studying in the future, we have to calculate it Point. What does the elder brother's house have? Three girls, just digging wild vegetables can make up for the family."

"The family can be separated. If we want a house and land, we have to take care of our parents. If we don't want to support our parents, we have to let the elder brother take the big pick..." Lin Chengcai was a little moved, seeing his father just now Drooling and peeing on the kang, he also felt a little dirty in his heart.If you really want to take care of yourself, wouldn't you be shitting and peeing every day?Maybe, I have to be sprayed with foam all over my face.

"You idiot." Mrs. Zhang approached Lin Chengcai and began to mutter, "Let father follow elder brother and mother follow us, and let elder brother and them pay rations and filial piety every month. Besides, our mother has money in hand. And even if Follow us, you are afraid of losing money, when did mother go to the eldest brother's house empty-handed, and come back with meat and eggs?"

This is true. In the past few years, even his family did not keep meat when they slaughtered pigs.Because the mother-in-law can always get a lot of good things from the elder brother's house, she doesn't even have to prepare her own New Year's greetings when she returns to her mother's house.

"But father won't agree..." At the time when mother made such a fuss, father didn't let go of the separation, and even asked the eldest brother and his family to go out alone, and didn't mention the separation.Up to now, the names of the whole family are still on one post.

Mrs. Zhang snorted, and said nonchalantly, "As long as mother agrees to this matter, our father can't be the head of this family now."

As soon as these words fell into his ears, Lin Chengcai's mind was completely moved. His father couldn't make the decision. After the separation, the family became his decision.At that time, let alone being lazy, no one can care about bragging with those old men in the village every day, or playing a few cards.

Thinking of the good days at that time, Lin Chengcai couldn't help grinning.

"Why are you smirking, you got that idea." Seeing that her man was talking but not talking, Zhang felt a little impatient, and slapped the man's arm, "I tell you Ang, you can figure it out Well, every month the elder brother has to pay the filial piety of one hundred Wen to the mother."

"Yeah? One hundred Wen? Even a well-to-do family can't use it." One hundred Wen can buy seven or eight catties of fat meat alone. If you buy fat and thin pork belly or lean meat, it can cost about ten catties. amount.This old man is crazy to agree to this matter.

Although Lin Chengcai is a bastard, he still has some heart. If the eldest brother supports his paralyzed father, he will also honor his mother.Can you live on this day?Even if it is non-stop work, it is estimated that it will not be enough for the expenses of both sides.

Seeing that her man's heart softened, Mrs. Zhang said bitterly, "The three maids of the elder brother's family, who are not allowed to receive dowry money when they go out? Besides, just talking about making connections, as long as they don't stop every day, the three girls will be married for a month. You can also earn three or four hundred Wen."

She said it lightly, and she didn't even think about it, why didn't she do the job to earn money?At this moment, she is still cheeky to count the little hand money of the young Yuejiao.
