Although Miao Rencui is a woman, she has a lot of eyes, and she has a lot of eyes, and she has figured out the relationship in a blink of an eye. A little brother is half a gentleman, if he is a diligent person, he can use it at home and abroad. His family is the eldest laborer, the old man can at most do no heavy work, and if there is more Chen Qing in the future, the family can share a few more acres of land and save some dowry for Xiuli, so as not to be disliked by her in-laws if she does not accompany her.

Abi, this girl, can also take some embroidery work in a few years to come back to supplement the family's income, Chen Qing A-Niang is a skillful hand, although her daughter is not careful □□, but the root is not far behind. Besides, Chen Qing agreed to give two acres of dry land to his family, and when he was too old to get married, and he had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be the same as hiring a long-term worker?

After summing up, Miao Rencui rolled her eyes and pretended to be embarrassed. kept saying that he wanted to take care of brotherhood and give face to the elders of the clan, so he naturally got Chen Qing's assurance that he would help the family in this matter.

After the village chief and the others left, Miao Rencui confiscated the title deed of Chen Qing's two acres of dry land on the spot, because when the house was built, the two families were next to each other, Chen Qing and Chen Bi went back to sleep next door after having dinner at the uncle's house.

Two people have died in three years, the house is unlucky, his uncle's family didn't think much about it, and they are still lived by the brother and sister, but after Chen Bi gets married, the house will also be taken back, and it can save money to build a new house for his son.

After the quarrel and dispute between Boss Chen's family, the husband and wife made a good plan for their future livelihood at night, no matter how they counted, they took advantage of their own family, but it was a pity that the two acres of good paddy fields were wasted on Chen Qing's mother.

"Okay, don't scold a few words, no matter how you say it, it's all your own brother's seed, pay attention on weekdays, lest the people in the village say that we are mean to our nephews!"

"Hmph~ Just your benevolence and righteousness, if it wasn't for the father and mother who split up the family to the second child, how could our family give up so much land for nothing, and now it is still lost by the little cub in vain. You are the eldest son in the family, and your father and mother are supported by us, so it should be ours, and now that the field is gone, there are two debt collectors pasted on it, I don't starve to death, they are all considered good-hearted" Miao Rencui immediately pushed him hard, shouting dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, don't shout, it's not good for your father and mother to hear it" Boss Chen immediately went to cover his daughter-in-law's mouth.

"What can't I say, it was they who were biased ...... the beginning" Miao Rencui slapped Boss Chen's hand away and widened her eyes.

"I know that you were wronged at the beginning, haven't you found it all back, and besides, why do you care so much when there are no people?" Boss Chen immediately lowered his eyebrows and comforted his daughter-in-law.

According to the rules of the clan, the father and mother are in charge of the separation. They are big houses, and they should have more land to support the elderly, but at that time, the second child had just gotten married, and he was the youngest son, so his father and mother gave an extra acre of paddy field and two acres of dry land to the second child, for which Miao Rencui complained behind her back, but at the beginning, she did not give birth to a son and did not dare to openly argue with her father, but only dared to talk to Chen Boss behind her back.

Five years have passed, Chen Qing has grown into a half-sized guy, and after so much time since the day he left the family, the eldest aunt's complaints about him have not decreased, but they have become more and more unpleasant to his brothers and sisters. Most of the work in the field at home is taken care of by the brothers and sisters, not to mention, you have to look at the face of the eldest aunt when you go to the table to eat, and you will be blinded if you add more bowls of rice, and you will be nasty about "half the size eats the poor man, loses money and goods" and other unpleasant words.

The 10-year-old girl has been able to undertake most of the housework, not to mention feeding chickens and pigs, and the eldest aunt seems to see herself as the housewife, so she almost didn't move a stool to sit in the yard to supervise the work.

Although Chen Qing couldn't get used to seeing her aunt instructing her sister to work, she had no choice but to send someone under the fence, so she had to grab more work on weekdays, and then give her sister an embroidery job, so as to free herself from the heavy housework.

"Abi, this embroidery is still the old rule, one is embroidered on the bright side for the eldest aunt, and the other is embroidered behind the back, don't embroider too quickly and carefully look at the eyes" Chen Qing routinely instructed the good girl to hide the copper coins she had secretly saved, and then turned around and carried the basket on her back to send the items bought back from the town to the eldest uncle.

"Squeak~"

"Ah Qing is back," Grandpa Chen was sitting in the courtyard weaving a basket, and greeted Chen Qing who pushed open the courtyard door.

"Grandpa, I brought you a plaster, didn't you shout about back pain two days ago" Chen Qing took off the back basket, took out two plasters from it and handed them to Grandpa Chen.

"Waste of money, this is an old problem, people always have a sore back and leg pain when they are old, the crops are used to it, don't bother next time, lest your aunt talk about you again" Grandpa Chen took the plaster with a smile, and did not forget to tell Chen Qing a few words.

"With the money I earned myself, it's not good to buy medicine for my grandfather" The corners of Chen Qing's hooked mouth immediately tightened, and he squinted at his cousin who saw him come back, and after a few sneaky glances, he quickly rushed into the house.

Sure enough, after a while, the eldest aunt walked out of the house with her waist crossed.

"Yo, come back, how many copper plates have you sold, dare to waste money like this?, do you have all the things you bought" Miao Rencui learned that Chen Qing spent money to buy medicine for Grandpa Chen, and stepped out of the hall in a strange way, snatched the back basket, turned out the purchased things, and saw that he didn't turn over the money bag, and stretched out his palm towards Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glared at Chen Ping, who was hiding on the side, triumphantly, and took out the money bag from his arms and poured out 10 copper plates.

"Why is it so little? Isn't it that you have saved up medicinal materials for several days?" Seeing that there were only 10 copper plates, Miao Rencui's face was half dark, and she once again suspected that this kid was hiding private money, but she went to his house several times in secret and couldn't find a place to hide the money, so she had to grit her teeth secretly and hold a grudge.

Chen Qing rolled his eyes and said in a cold voice, "You don't need money to buy meat and salt, you just give me 20 copper plates, and I can't even buy half a jar of salt, if I don't sell herbs, I probably won't be able to buy what Qi Boniang ordered."

"You are still reasonable! Those 20 copper plates may buy a lot of things, knowing that the family has no money and dare to spend it indiscriminately, next time let Chen Ping go with you, who knows where you spent all the money" Miao Rencui took the ten copper plates into his arms, and clearly instructed his son to supervise Chen Qing.

"Don't get involved with me, I still have homework to write, how can I have time to wander around, I want you to go with him" Chen Ping immediately collapsed the corners of his mouth and shrank into the door.

Just kidding, he didn't want to follow the twenty-mile mountain road to the town, he had to pretend not to know Chen Qing when he walked around with his classmates in the school on weekdays, such a poor cousin could only lose his face, and he didn't dare to go to the town with him, if he was seen by the students who didn't often sneak to the town to play, then he would be a loser.

500 meters = one mile, half an hour = one hour, and one hour can walk twenty miles.

"Hey, you don't listen to you on weekdays when you read well, and now you don't have time to wander around. Have you finished your homework? If I hear my master say that you are not diligent in studying on weekdays, I don't think you should study in this school, and marry a daughter-in-law early to farm the land, so that the old lady can live a good life for two days......" Miao Rencui yelled at her son.

"Come here again, you had to force me to study, saying that only if you have merit and fame can you glorify your ancestors, and now you want to mistake my studies and marry a peasant woman to farm and live" Chen Ping pouted and complained.

On weekdays, he has more contact with some students with good family conditions, and Chen Ping is also dyed with a trace of the arrogance of a scholar, who looks down on the vulgarity of the township, and yearns for the day when he will be named on the gold list and gain fame and fortune.

"Hmph~ I want you to read more books on weekdays, but you don't listen, do you know how hard it is to send you to the school......!

"Hey~ eldest daughter-in-law, our old Chen family is such a single seedling, he has been a smart since he was a child, since he was sent at the beginning, let him study for a few more years, that knowledge is not to say that you can learn it, it is easier than not planting crops" Grandpa Chen sighed and comforted.

He loves this grandson from the bottom of his heart, although Chen Qing is also a grandson, he is a little brother after all, the second eldest grandson is gone, I am afraid that he can only be a brother to marry, and the whole family is counting on Chen Ping to be able to make a difference in the future, so as to give them this eyebrow.

"It's still Grandpa's most sensible, how can that knowledge be so light and can be learned? I've only been studying for 4 years, don't talk about the children's exam in a few years, I'll take the exam to show you a long face! At that time, who else dares to look down on our family?" Chen Ping said to A-Niang with a proud face.

"That is, my son is smart, and when he is in the exam, he is afraid that the door of the family will be broken by those poor relatives, and then there will be a court subsidy and tax exemption, and the family will be able to live a better life" As soon as Miao Rencui heard her son talk about fame, she immediately glared at Chen Qing, who was eating white food, with a proud face, and stepped forward to sort out and wash the somewhat whitish kaftan for her son.

"Auntie, when the time comes, my son will buy you a big house in the town, and you will enjoy the blessings" Chen Ping's face was disgusted with a disgusting posture, even if he was a talent in the exam, he couldn't afford to buy a house in the town. Xiucai's annual subsidy can't even supply paper and ink, and he still expects to support his family?

Chen Qing slandered, Miao Rencui didn't know, in her cognition, the Xiucai master was a great character, and she didn't even have to kneel down when she saw the county master, she was full of imagination that her son would be able to live a better life at home if he got Xiucai.
