Mrs. Gu and her husband are very diligent, they worked day and night when they were young, and when they reached middle age, they finally married their two sons and daughters-in-law, and married two daughters in a beautiful way, and built two large tiled houses.

A larger tiled house is where Aunt Gu lives now, and the eldest son's family lives with them. The other, smaller tiled house was given to the second son's family. As an old man, it is already very generous to be able to divide a house for his son when he separates his family, many people divide their families, and the old man just gives his children a little money and a few chickens, and everything in the house is purchased by himself after the separation.

The customs of the rural areas of Yuyuan County, if there are several sons in the family, the sons will be separated after all the sons marry daughters-in-law, and there are many daughters-in-law in the province, each with their own thoughts, and the family is not at peace.

Gu Auntie's family is the same, after the two sons married daughters-in-law, Gu Auntie divided the family for them. According to the practice of Zhaojiagou's separation, it was said that the two old people would be supported by the eldest son in the future, and the savings in the hands of Aunt Gu and Zhao Mingjiang would also belong to the eldest family in the next hundred years.

In the countryside, many old people will choose to live with their eldest son's family, and Aunt Gu is actually right to choose this.

The fault is that Aunt Gu and his wife are not tight, and before they can close their eyes, they use up the savings in their hands to supplement the eldest son's family.

Aunt Gu was thinking, anyway, the money in their hands will belong to the eldest son in the future, so there is no difference between giving it when she is dying and giving it now.

Aunt Gu miscalculated people's hearts. In the countryside, the sons and daughters-in-law of the elderly are willing to bow down and be small and good for the elderly, many of them are for the little money in the hands of their fathers and mothers. The old man has money in his hand, and the eldest family is not good to the old man, and it is not for nothing that he changes his mind halfway to live in the second and third family. For the sake of the old man's family, even if he doesn't like it in his heart, the daughter-in-law will be filial to the old man.

When they split up, Aunt Gu and Zhao Mingjiang were not old, they were in their forties, and they still had all their strength. Aunt Gu chose to live with her eldest son's family, and her eldest daughter-in-law Zheng Qiulian was very happy. Zhao Mingjiang and Aunt Gu not only have money in their hands, but they can also earn centimeters, and by the way, they can also help them take care of their children.

Zheng Qiulian will give birth and raise three sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter Zhao Xiaoyue, the second son Zhao Xiaolei, the third son Zhao Xiaohui, the fourth daughter Zhao Xiaocao, the youngest son Zhao Xiaojun, and the five children were all raised with the help of Aunt Gu.

If there are more children, the cost of the family must be large. If it weren't for Aunt Gu and Zhao Mingjiang's help, Zhao Hongsheng and Zheng Qiulian would have been busy all year round, and the family would not even be able to fill their stomachs. When the child is older, the various expenses are more. Zhao Hongsheng is open-minded, and all five children have attended junior high school at least, so Zhao Hongsheng's family's expenses are much more than those in the village who do not send their children to school.

Aunt Gu couldn't bear to see the hardships of her eldest son's family. Adults can starve, but children can't, over the years, in order to fill the stomachs of several grandchildren, don't wear too shabby clothes in school, a little savings of Aunt Gu and Zhao Mingjiang have all been filled in intermittently.

In the past few years, Gu Damiang and Zhao Mingjiang have become older, and Gu Damiang's work in the field has not moved much, so she can only help with some housework at home. Zhao Mingjiang is also old and dizzy, and he can't do too meticulous work, and there are many fewer people who ask him to do work. A few years ago, Zhaojiagou's fields were also "distributed to households," and every household had to rely on labor for food. Gu Damiang and Zhao Mingjiang have no ability to make money, and basically have to rely on the eldest family to support them.

In this way, the arrogance of her daughter-in-law Zheng Qiulian is a little high.

People are like this, what they see in their eyes is always how much they have lost and how much they have lost, and they can't see how much they have gained and how much they have gained. That's the case with Zheng Qiulian.

Mrs. Gu and his wife are old, they can't do their work, and they have no savings in their hands, so the next few days are to "eat white food" every day in their long house. In this way, Zheng Qiulian felt that the old man was supporting his own home, and he was panicked.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu and her husband are not sick or in pain, they don't know how long they can live? From now on, their family will have to pay a lot for Mrs. Gu and his wife. What makes Zheng Qiulian even more unhappy is that Aunt Gu often subsidizes her mother's family. Thinking that when Tie Zhu Niang was not dead, Gu Da Niang often took rice and vegetables from home to Tie Zhu Niang, and in the years after Gu Tiezhu was imprisoned, Tie Zhu Niang took two children and relied on the relief of the village to live, Gu Da Niang did not move things to her mother's house.

At that time, Gu Da Niang still had labor, and Zhao Mingjiang could often earn more than ten yuan a month. Even if Zheng Qiulian was unhappy, there was no way to stop her.

As the eldest daughter-in-law who wants to support the elderly, Zheng Qiulian does not dare to dislike the second elder clearly, and can only wait for Aunt Gu to do something "out of tune" to show her unhappy attitude.

For example, now, Aunt Gu and Zhao Mingjiang can't make any money, and they also make Gu Tiezhu's father and son eat and drink for nothing, Zheng Qiulian can't sit still.

For Gu Tiezhu, Zheng Qiulian had an indescribable dislike in her heart. A prisoner in re-education through labor, who has been released from prison for so many years and has not earned a few dollars back, and even the funeral of Tie Zhuniang was handled by their family. As soon as she came back, she came to her house to eat and live for nothing, when their family has thousands of family wealth? Not to mention that just a few days ago, because of Gu Tiezhu, Zheng Qiulian's favored daughter-in-law flew.

Holding back the fire in her stomach, Zheng Qiulian got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and chopped the chopping board with a bang.

Today's breakfast is sweet potato porridge, a few large sweet potatoes, which Zheng Qiulian imagined as Gu Tiezhu's face, and she couldn't wait to chop it up.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zheng Qiulian showed her eldest son Zhao Xiaolei a daughter-in-law, a girl from the next village. The girl is good-looking, and Zhao Xiaolei is very satisfied. The most important thing is that the girl's buttocks are round, and at first glance she is a good birth, and Zheng Qiulian is also very satisfied.

Originally, the girl also fell in love with the tall and honest Zhao Xiaolei, but she didn't expect the girl's parents to disagree with this family when they heard that Zhao Xiaolei's family was related to the "tree thief" Gu Tiezhu's family.

When the matchmaker talked back, Zheng Qiulian blushed and almost went underground. The girl's parents said that Gu Tiezhu is a well-known "labor prisoner", and their family has been innocent for several generations, and they do not want to be relatives with the "labor prisoner".

Listen! Listen! Just because Gu Tiezhu is such a relative, she has forcibly delayed her son's good family business. I still don't know if when Xiaohui Xiaojun is looking for his daughter-in-law, will people remember that their family has Gu Tiezhu, an "evil relative"? If it comes again, can Zheng Qiulian's heart not be angry? Although her mother-in-law, Aunt Gu and Gu Tiezhu, are aunts and nephews, serious relatives who have broken their bones and are still connected to their tendons, but because Gu Tiezhu has hindered her son's family affairs, Zheng Qiulian just can't swallow this breath.
