20. Unjustly died
After eating a bowl of rice, for Gu Manniang, there was no goods in her stomach at all, and she didn't even have enough stuff between her teeth. But now there is no rice in the pot, Gu Manniang can't cook it anymore at this time, if she cooks it again, she will have to swallow her alive. It's not that she's afraid of Mrs. Tang, it's just that she's too lazy to bother with her. I had no choice but to continue to be hungry. However, it won't be long before I think about it, as long as Tang Tiezhu's gambling debts are paid off, the matter of the separation of the family will be sorted out. After that, she can be the master of her own house, eat as much as she wants, eat as much as she wants, and no one else can control her.
After eating, Gu Manniang didn't say a word, and directly drove Tang Tiezhu out to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Tang Erzhu, who went to his sister's house to borrow money, didn't borrow any money. When I came back, I went to the town to hire a butcher. Ask this butcher to go home, for nothing else, but for a few pigs in the seller's house.
There are only two meat sellers in this town, and if the village wants to sell pigs, they will find these two. And the one who often came to Tang Erzhu's village was a butcher surnamed Li.
And this Li butcher, usually kills pigs in the morning and sells meat, if it is not sold in the afternoon, he leaves his mother-in-law and children to keep the stall and continue to sell, and he goes to the nearby villages to go around and buy pigs.
"Your pig seems to be relatively small, last time I heard your mother say that it would take a few more months to feed it before it was sold, why is it going to be sold so soon." When Butcher Li heard Tang Erzhu say that his family was going to sell pigs, it was a general doubt. He is a man who eats on pigs, and how big is his pig, when can he kill and sell it, he is clear.
Tang Erzhu is also very painful, if he is fed for a few months, the pig will have to grow dozens of catties of meat, and if he grows dozens of catties of meat, he will have to sell it for hundreds of dollars less. For people who can break a penny into a few pennies to spend in this era, it is a strange thing if it doesn't hurt.
But what can I do if the flesh hurts? This younger brother has caused a big disaster, and those of them who are older brothers have to wipe their butts for him, no matter how painful it is, they have to grit their teeth and endure it.
Fortunately, this time I took some opportunity to divide the family, if I was dragged down by such a younger brother again, then eighty percent of their family would be so poor.
"There have been some things in the family recently, and I am waiting for the money to be used...... "The ugliness of the family can't be outside, no matter how the younger brother is not a thing, Tang Erzhu is not easy to publicize everywhere, so Tang Erzhu can only vaguely return to Butcher Li."
Butcher Li nodded to show that he understood, and this was quite normal when the family had not made up their hands. "Okay, I'll go to your house this afternoon."
Here, Tang Erzhu invited Butcher Li. Over there, Tang Dazhu found a tooth shop, Tang Erzhu was unlucky and failed to borrow money, but Tang Dazhu's side made no progress at all.
This field is sold in a hurry, and it is not something that can be sold in a short time. Tang Dazhu saw several tooth people in the town, but he couldn't find a buyer for this place for a while. There was no way, he just went home first and waited for news.
The two brothers returned home one after the other. When I came back, the Tang family had just finished lunch.
"Boss, has the land been sold?" As soon as Liu saw that the master was back, he quickly pulled Tang Dazhu aside and asked in a low voice.
Tang Dazhu sighed silently, shook his head and said, "I have already told the people over there in the tooth shop that if there is a buyer, they will immediately bring them over to see the fields." ”
After speaking, Tang Dazhu sighed again, and the tooth man also told him that a land of one or two acres like him is actually quite easy to sell. However, it is really difficult to sell it in a day or two.
Alas! If this land can't be sold, where should the thirty or so taels of silver be scraped from? As soon as he thought that if he couldn't make up the money, the group of vicious debtors came to the door, and I didn't know if he would be lenient for a few days this time.
However, this is a bit impossible. Last time, I gave them a few days of grace, and it has been lenient. I'm afraid there won't be a next time. When the time comes......
Alas! Now I can only take one step at a time, and when it comes, let's talk about it at that time. Tang Dazhu thought helplessly.
Hearing Tang Dazhu's words, Liu was relieved. As long as this difficulty is passed, they can be the masters of their own houses in the future, thinking about it, the whole Liu family feels much more comfortable.
Lunch was made by Liu's, and during the meal, Gu Manniang took Niuniu out of the room, as for Tang Xiaobao's bear child, because his butt was not good, he was directly left in the room by Gu Manniang.
"Third brother and sister, you can go to the ground. Oh my God, third brother and sister, how did you become like this? Who cut your hair? Zhang saw Gu Manniang come out with Niuniu and looked at her in surprise.
In the morning, Tang Dazhu and his brothers went to collect money for Tang Tiezhu, but Liu and Zhang's concubines had to work in the field. When they came back from work, they were busy making lunch in a hurry, so they didn't know anything about the morning.
"Well, I'm already able to go to the ground." Gu Manniang only smiled at Zhang, but didn't say much else.
As soon as Zhang saw her like this, he knew whose masterpiece she was, so he snorted coldly, "I said third brother, you are becoming more and more disagreeable now, don't you even know this from your parents?" ”
"Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about, her hair was cut by herself, not ......" Before Tang Tiezhu could speak, he saw Gu Manniang's eyes glaring, and he was so frightened that he quickly swallowed the unfinished words back into his stomach.
Regarding Gu Manniang's hairstyle, Tang Tiezhu was not blind, so he naturally discovered it a long time ago, but he didn't dare to ask more. Now that the second sister-in-law has wronged him and said that he cut the hair, Tang Tiezhu really feels that he is about to die of wrong, even more wronged than the Dou E in the opera. But no matter how much he explained, others didn't believe him, and it was the first time he really tasted bitterness.
"If it's not you, who else could it be?" Zhang glared at Tang Tiezhu angrily. And secretly rejoiced, fortunately they divided this family this time, otherwise they don't know how long they will be harmed by this scourge. glanced at Gu Manniang sympathetically again, with such a man, she has not had a good life in her life!
However, Zhang's sympathy is sympathy, if she were to be asked to take something out to help Gu Manniang, she would definitely not do it. She herself still can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, so she has something to help others.
Before eating, Tang Erzhu handed over the fifty wen money he had borrowed from Tang Qiuhua to Tang Pozi, and explained who borrowed the fifty wen.
"Eldest sister, why is she like an iron rooster, why don't you lend me a penny. There is also a second sister, why does she borrow such a little......" Tang Tiezhu saw that the two sisters only lent him fifty yuan, and the eldest sister didn't pay a penny, and he felt that these two sisters were too much, and they couldn't save him as his own brother.
Tang Dazhu roared, "You have it." He was originally on fire in his belly, but when he heard Tang Tiezhu's dissatisfied words at this time, the anger bubbled out, "You are crooked and crooked, your eldest sister and second sister are not separated, what do they take to lend you." Then he continued angrily, "As for you, even if you have money that has been lent to you, you have to think about it, and you still have to pay it back." ”
"Big brother, how can you say that about me?"
"Say you, I say you're still fine. Tang Tiezhu, I sue you, if there is a next time, I don't care if you are dead or alive. ”
……
Tang Dazhu and Tang Tiezhu quarreled non-stop, but Gu Manniang stood there as if she hadn't heard it. Anyway, she knew that Tang Tiezhu was a superlative, so she was not surprised at all by what he said and what he did. How can a person like Tang Tiezhu, who only has himself, think about the situation of others?
If a person like him doesn't make him suffer well, he's afraid that he will never be able to change it. However, don't be afraid, with her, this guy will definitely have a wonderful time in the future.
Tang Tiezhu, who had been arguing with Tang Dazhu non-stop, suddenly felt a chill behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Gu Manniang looking at him with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Tang Tiezhu's heart couldn't help but tighten. Next, no matter what Tang Dazhu said about him, he didn't dare to say a word again. Seeing this, Tang Dazhu thought that the third brother had learned to be obedient, and he didn't dare to talk back to him, so he stopped with satisfaction.
