Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 16

The three daughters-in-law of the Chen family tidied up a little more neatly today than before, and they were waiting for everyone to chat together at night, everyone was looking forward to the future.

"Boss, you go and move a chair here. Second, carry your father out of the bed. Let's get together as a family and talk about what to do in the future, how to improve our future life, and then there is this house It’s time to fix it, it’s too crowded for so many people to live in one room.”

Chen Yunfan and Chen Yunliang acted swiftly to do what Bai Lan said well.The weather was a little cold at night, so Bai Lan went to the room and took a quilt to cover Chen Yu.

Chen Yajiao, who just woke up from a nap, also participated in the family meeting, holding a bowl of still warm white porridge alone, sitting quietly beside her.

Chen Yajiao sighed in her heart, fortunately, her character was quite good when she crossed over to this family. When she first woke up, everyone in the family expressed their enthusiasm and concern for her. Don't forget to introduce yourself first.

In fact, it's not too bad for me to travel here. The age of this body is only ten years old, which is much younger than my age in modern times.

Bai Lan cleared her throat and looked at the people in front of her who were looking at her, "I asked all of you to sit here today to tell you how we should develop in the future. You can take a look at our family. This When it rained for a few days, it rained heavily outside and lightly rained inside, and now the room still smells musty."

Chen Yunfan said, "Mother, let's sell most of the rice harvested this year and exchange it for money to build a house."

Chen Yunxuan immediately objected, "Brother, sell all the rice at home, what shall we eat? Do we have to drink rice porridge for another year?"

"Mom, I think big brother's idea is a bit unworkable. We will still only sell a small part as in previous years. When the busy farming time is over, our three brothers will repair the roof and repair all the places that need to be repaired. Make up for it. When I make money, I can build a better house, so that I can live in it for a few more years."

Bai Lan looked at Chen Yunliang who had been sitting aside and said nothing, "Second brother, what are you thinking now?"

"Mother, I don't have any thoughts in my heart. I will follow what mother says, and I will obey mother."

"I already know what the three of you are thinking. Sell the food and exchange it for money to repair the house. Now the price of food is not high, and it can't be sold for much money. All the money is used to repair the house. What should we do in the next year? Life?"

"The third brother's idea doesn't work either. This house has been repaired for more than ten years, and there is nothing left to repair if it continues like this."

"Our house still has to be completely rebuilt, and your sixth brother has to come back. After all, he is my own flesh and blood, and he is also a blood brother with you."

Chen Yunfan's daughter-in-law, Li Xiaohe, thinks that the family is in such a situation now, and she has to go out with money to get Chen Yunhong back. After returning, there will be another person in the family.

"Mother, we don't have any extra houses. Where will the sixth brother live when he comes back? Besides, the sixth brother looks so handsome. I heard that the sixth uncle has already negotiated a price. He plans to sell the sixth brother for 15 taels of silver." , how can we get so much money out, and there is only one month, now only more than 20 days, where do we go to find money? Even if our three daughters-in-law go back to their natal family to borrow money, we can't make up so much money. !"

Bai Lan knew what Li Xiaohe was thinking. In this situation, it is completely impossible to spend more than a dozen taels of silver. Even if the house is sold, it will not be able to sell that much, unless it is the land, but the land is the foundation of a farmer's livelihood. How can he sell it? Besides, do you still need to sell the land with her here?
"Money, I will find a way to earn it. If you haven't seen any real things, you won't believe me even if I say it's a hype. You should know when the money comes in the future, and what's going on today will tell you There is one more thing to discuss. The boss, the second child, and the third child, the three of you will resign from your jobs helping the landlord's house tomorrow. They read some books with your father at home, at least they have a little foundation when they go to school in the town."

Chen Yunfan felt a little heartbroken at the thought of giving up the ten or so Wen that he could earn every day, "Mother, my second and third younger brothers, I, and I work in the landlord's house together, and we can get fifteen Wen every day. It is 45 Wen, which is enough for us to buy some daily necessities, and the landlord has so much land, at least there are still several days to work. These days add up to one or two hundred Wen. We do it at home, then Not even a penny."

"Boss, you don't have to worry too much about the ten or so coins. There are still things to be done by the three of you in the future. Your father is not in good health yet, and he needs to rest in bed for a while."

All the adults in the yard turned their gazes to Bai Lan, looking him up and down.Everyone was very puzzled, my mother and father fell from the mountain at the same time, now my mother is alive and kicking, but my father can't get out of bed and walk around.This is a stark contrast.

Everyone suppressed this doubt in their hearts, and they all thought that as long as they were fine, it would be fine.

"Mother, if there is anything to do, you can wait until we get back from work to do it."

"I'm telling you something now, and you are not allowed to leak it after listening."

"Mother, what do you want to say? It's so mysterious and scary." Chen Yunxuan touched his swollen arm and said.

"The matter I told you is very important. You all remember, even if your daughters-in-law have returned to their natal homes, you are not allowed to talk nonsense."

Bai Lan looked at the children on the side again, "You little ones, after hearing this, go out to play with those little ones outside, and you can't talk nonsense about what you heard today, do you hear that?"

Seeing Bai Lan's stern expression, the little fellows nodded their heads honestly to indicate that they would not speak out.
