Chapter 261: You put on the mat first
"Sewing machine?" Li Hongjun frowned and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, brother, I just want a sewing machine. When the eldest sister got married, our father also gave her a few boxes as a dowry, but our mother said that the family money was given to Hongqi to go to school, and there was nothing left for me. Li Xianghe said that tears fell out of her eyes.
"What are you crying about, just say no to your second brother if you want anything, you can be missing." Qiu Shuping was not happy to hear her daughter eat her. "Besides, it's a serious matter for your brother to go to college, and when your brother has a chance in the future, pull you all of a sudden, it's not better than anything else." She also said this to Li Hongjun, even if her youngest son was confused and did something wrong, but in the future, he would also be a college student, and he would be a big man who couldn't catch up with a stinky soldier.
Li Hongjun didn't speak, his own family knew his own business. They could indeed afford a sewing machine, but it was Yun Fang's own money. In addition to helping his comrades-in-arms every month and supporting his daughter-in-law and children, he can't save anything in a month.
He looked at his house again, although it was not a family with four walls, but Yun Fang was not willing to buy a large item, how could he be embarrassed to let his daughter-in-law pay for his sister to buy a sewing machine.
Li Xianghe knew it was going to be bad as soon as he saw his second brother's expression, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, our father said, it's not for you to give it to me, it's just that there is no money at home now, let you give it to the pad first, don't you have to give our father and mother a hundred yuan every year to support the elderly, our father said it, and deduct it from there, when will the deduction be finished, you are giving money to your father." ”
Li Hongjun still didn't speak, he is not a three-year-old child, what he said now is good, when the time comes, his mother's mouth is crooked, and he doesn't know what to say, he is not exaggerating at all, he can really do this.
Qiu Shuping is very unhappy about her daughter saying this, this is not from her pocket, but if she can do it, she will do it first, and when she finds an opportunity to ask her second son for money, she still doesn't believe it, the second child can still care about her father and mother because of this.
"What's the matter, your father said so, you don't want to pay for it yet, do you?" Qiu Shuping was already in a bad mood, and she was even more unhappy when she saw that her son hadn't expressed his position yet, and she was still frowning here. "Tell me, why is your heart so hard, I have pulled you up with a handful of and urine since I was a child, even if I have no credit and hard work, now I ask you, you are still not happy, you wolf-hearted thing." Qiu Shuping forgot the original intention of coming to her son's house again, she has this temperament, everything has to depend on her, or she will start making trouble as soon as she is unhappy. In fact, she only has this means, and it is still the best for the Li family. Fortunately, she still thought that she couldn't get into trouble with her second son, so she controlled it even if she was a scoundrel, and she cried and made trouble without lying on the kang.
"Mother, it's not that the Red Army doesn't pay for it, it's that we really don't have that much money." In the end, it was Shen Yunfang who spoke.
She really couldn't listen to it when she was lying on the kang, how could she damage her son's mother like this in front of her daughter-in-law. Besides, she understands Li Hongjun's temperament, in this case, he will either get angry directly, or continue to blackface, and will not solve the actual problem at all. So she had to come out and deal with her mother-in-law.
"Why don't you have any money, who are you fooling?" Qiu Shuping directed her anger at her daughter-in-law and went, just when she couldn't find someone who could get angry at will. "I don't know how much money my son earns a month? You also lied to me that I have no money, you treat me as a three-year-old child. Besides, you still eat and drink at home without money, and you still gnaw pig's trotters and eat elbows, do you have that good mouth? ”
This is naked jealousy. After seeing the food of her second son's house, she was deeply jealous and regretful, these good things have been ruined by this Shen Yunfang, if she didn't split up and her son didn't marry this woman, these things plus her son's salary would be her own.
"Mother......" Li Hongjun stood up rubbly, looking like he was about to get angry.
In front of herself, the old lady scolded her daughter-in-law like this, if the daughter-in-law was at fault, it was okay, now it was obvious that the old lady was finding fault, how could he let his daughter-in-law suffer this grievance.
Shen Yunfang didn't see things well, so he hurriedly pulled Li Hongjun back, but don't fight between the two of them in his own family, no matter who is right or wrong, it won't sound good to spread out, if Li Hongjun can't get it, he will have to be charged with unfilial piety, you must know that Li Hongjun will have to mix in the army in the future, if you really spread some rumors like this, don't care if it's true or not, it's not good for Li Hongjun's future.
"What, what, what are you shouting?" Qiu Shuping's eyes widened.
"Okay, you have a bad temper, don't stay in the house, hurry up and go out to get some bean bags for my mother, I'll put it in the tank in the backyard, you go and rummage it." Shen Yunfang drove people away.
Li Hongjun was still a little worried, but thinking of his daughter-in-law's careful eyes and cleverness, he would definitely not be able to suffer, so he went out to decorate the old lady with something.
"Mother, don't be unhappy, I don't like to listen to what you said just now, why do you make me eat and drink, don't say that I am now in confinement, I have to make up my body to breastfeed the child, just say that the current situation, what about the New Year, I should take out all the good things in the family and do it. I still don't believe it, you and my dad ate big ballast with pickle gnocchi at home for the New Year. Besides, the Red Army only comes back once a year, and I usually eat bran at home, and I have to cook something delicious for him when he comes back. Mother, do you say no? "Shen Yunfang reasoned with her mother-in-law calmly, let's not get angry, and convince people with virtue.
"Also, mother, it's not that the Red Army doesn't want to agree, it's that we really don't have that much money. A small sewing machine costs 134, where can we get so much money? You see that the Red Army seems to be paid a lot every month, and you don't see how much he spends. ”
Then Shen Yunfang looked like she was calculating, and she and her mother-in-law counted the whereabouts of Li Hongjun's salary. He had to help a few comrades-in-arms every month, which was a large part of the money, accounting for almost one-third of his salary. He himself had to be socialized in the army, so he had to keep a third for himself. The remaining one-third was the money he sent home.
As for the ten and eight pieces, Shen Yunfang didn't dare to spend them indiscriminately, so he saved them. A few months ago, Li Hongqi was going to college, and she gave fifty yuan, and then she went to the city to live in the hospital for several days to give birth, and it cost a lot. When Li Hongjun came back for the Chinese New Year, Shen Yunfang didn't want to lose him, so he bought some meat or something, thinking about making up for Li Hongjun.
After all the calculations, they have just been married for a year, how can they still have savings in their hands, and it would be good not to borrow money to get by.
Qiu Shuping listened carefully, and after listening to her daughter-in-law's words, she also thought about it in her heart, what her daughter-in-law said was right, so her son should indeed not be able to pay for the sewing machine.
