Liu Cuihong's straightforward words made Zhang Hualian a little embarrassed to continue talking.

"Cui Hong, she is my sister, how can you talk like this. As soon as Zhang Huafeng spoke, he was glared at by Liu Cuihong, Zhang Huafeng didn't dare to say anything, he buried his head and sat aside.

"Sister, Minmin is about to go to high school, Qiangzi is also going to school, the money for Xiaoyue's hospitalization last time, after you came back, I was tossed by my child who didn't keep it, this looks like the New Year is coming soon, next year's tuition fees, and they are still counting on the money in Huafeng Forest Farm." Liu Cuihong spoke quickly, like small talk, but she expressed a sentence word by word, and the family had no money.

"Eh, you said that my body is not angry. Liu Cuihong looked self-reproachful and complained: "Everyone just takes some medicine, I have to go to the hospital." ”

"And Minmin, this dead girl, is about to anger me, I have to say that everyone has new clothes to wear, no, I bought her a coat last time, and it was white, so I couldn't bear to get dirty. Liu Cuihong asked painfully, "Sister, do you know how much the coat costs?"

"How much?" Zhang Hualian asked subconsciously.

Liu Cuihong gestured with her hand to 'ten', and she said: "Ten yuan, this dead girl, she really doesn't take money seriously." ”

"......" Zhang Hualian's lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say a word.

After Liu Cuihong finished talking about her daughter Zhang Min, she said that her son Zhang Qiang, her son Zhang Qiang is not angry, he only thinks about going to the game hall all day long, and the money he stuffs into the game hall is not less.

In the end, Zhang Hualian couldn't even say the words of borrowing money.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang secretly stuffed three yuan to her, and said with tears in her eyes: "Hua Lian, all the money in the family is held by Cuihong, and your brother Hua Feng is also an uncompetitive person, so he can't help you." ”

"Mom, you can keep this money. Zhang Hualian understands her mother's situation.

Mrs. Zhang glared at her and said, "Hua Lian, if you are not really short of money, can you still come?" You can rest assured, although my mother can't speak at home, she can still eat, I secretly hid this money, you can use it with peace of mind, and when you are free in the future, come back to see me more." ”

"Good. ”

Zhang Hualian nodded, pinching the five yuan, thinking about which time she usually came back, in the early years, it was a few cents to make up, and in the future, it was two yuan a piece, and now, every time she goes back to her parents' house, her mother has to secretly give her five yuan.

She knew that it might be the money her mother had saved up for a few months.

On weekdays, Mrs. Zhang also helps to do some odd jobs to earn a dime or two, plus, her younger brother Hua Feng, gives her some money every month, and at home, there are more eggs, and the money from selling eggs.

"Mom, I will definitely honor you well in the future. Zhang Hualian said seriously, she has said this many times, but her ability is limited, what she can do is to serve Mrs. Zhang when she is sick.

This time Zhengde opened a store, she must be diligent, earn more money, and let her mother live a good life.

"Good. Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter with a smile, her daughter was less than forty years old, her face had become dark and rough, and she didn't look like her age at all.

You must know that when she was young, Hua Lian was the most beautiful girl in the village, but in the end, because she was unmarried and pregnant, she almost lost her life, gave birth to a child at home, and suffered a lot of white eyes, especially after Cuihong's daughter-in-law entered the door, she talked a lot openly and secretly about her daughter eating and drinking with the child at home.

Otherwise, Hua Lian, who would rather die than marry, would not marry Tang Zhengde.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were full of guilt, if it wasn't for her wife who left early, she was afraid that even death would not let Hua Lian be bullied like this, she was too useless to be a mother.

After the mother and daughter talked for another time, Zhang Hualian left, and just after leaving home for a while, Zhang Huafeng secretly followed, saying, "Sister, you take this." ”

Zhang Huafeng took out ten yuan and stuffed it into Zhang Hualian's hand.

Zhang Hualian looked at Zhang Huafeng in shock.

Zhang Huafeng was not embarrassed, and said: "Sister, I earned this money by moving bricks and cement while the forest farm was fine, and Cuihong didn't know." ”

"Huafeng. Zhang Hualian pinched the money, didn't know what to say, and after a while, she said: "You gave me all the money, what if Cui Hong asks?"

Liu Cuihong's strength, she has seen it, if she knew that Zhang Huafeng secretly gave her ten yuan, she might not know how to mess with Zhang Huafeng.

"It's okay, she doesn't know about it, sister, Xiao Yue was sick last time, although you didn't say anything this time, there must be difficulties. Zhang Huafeng thinks the same as his mother, and he has a thorough understanding of Zhang Hualian.

Zhang Hualian is not a last resort, and will never embarrass him as a younger brother.

"Sister, you just accept it, don't be in a hurry to return it. Zhang Huafeng couldn't help but help her carry it into her pocket, and he asked, "Brother-in-law didn't bully you, did he?"

Zhang Huafeng looked at Zhang Hualian carefully, and this time he looked at it, and it seemed that he was in a better state than before.

"Nope. Zhang Hualian couldn't help laughing, as soon as she mentioned Tang Zhengde, she felt the warmth from the bottom of her heart, she said: "Your brother-in-law will not bully me if he bullies anyone, you can rest assured." ”

"That's right. Zhang Huafeng nodded in agreement, Tang Zhengde wanted to marry Zhang Hualian, but it made the two villages a sensation, Tang Zhengde was in the village, the conditions were good, Grandma Tang pulled the older children alone, but Tang Zhengde, among the brothers, is the most outstanding, young and strong, and he is also the most able to endure hardships when working in the forest farm.

Secretly, I don't know how many people want to marry Tang Zhengde, but who knows, Tang Zhengde wants to marry a woman with an oil bottle.

For this reason, Tang Zhengde's mother and son have quarreled a lot, and in the future, he has also been there a few times, Tang Zhengde protects his sister like a calf, as my sister said, who is bullied, you can't bully your sister.

*

Qianqian Village, Tang Zhengde has not been idle since Zhang Hualian left, even if he rents a house, but to buy a bowl and a table, he has to simply paint the white wall of the shop, which costs money.

The money for renting a house was borrowed from Mingli, but Tang Zhengde didn't have the face to ask Tang Mingli to take the money for these things.

There is not much money left in the family, plus the forest farm has not yet paid the money, and has repaid Grandma Tang ten yuan, Tang Zhengde is a little anxious, if he can't get the money, the shop will have to be empty.

What to do?

Tang Zhengde looked at the house inside and out, there are two cabinets at home, why don't you sell one of the two cabinets at home?

Tang Zhengde thought about it, and when Zhang Hualian came back, he said directly: "Hualian, you see, we have two cabinets, or sell one cabinet, or let one cabinet be changed into a few sheets to make a table, and you can save a lot of money." ”

It was the best thing he could think of.
