Chapter 69 The mother's family sends New Year's goods, Zhang's eyes are angry

Li Shi told the two of them about the matter, and said to them: "These are seventy taels of silver, your eldest brother asked me to hand them over to you, we know this matter, don't tell others." ”

After Tang Tiexiong and Sun knew the cause and effect, they said bluntly: "Qing'er is really smart, why do you have so many ghost ideas." ”

His daughter was praised, of course Li was very happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't suppress a smile: "I'll play some clever,"

After returning to the topic, Tang Tiexiong and his wife refused to accept it, saying that they were very content with the five taels of silver they gave them last time, and they couldn't accept the seventy taels of silver sent by their sister-in-law today.

Although Tang Tiexiong didn't say anything big, but the words he said were more sincere and simple, Sun put down the needlework in his hand, and also shook his head and said that the money can't be wanted, Li saw that they were determined not to accept it, so he said: "That's it, I'll take twenty taels, and you keep the remaining fifty taels of silver, when the spring comes, let's start another house and move out of Lu to live, you don't have to postpone it anymore, it's really not good, I'll let your eldest brother come over, and see what you say when the time comes." Li took twenty taels of silver and put it in the sewing frame, and went back to his house.

Tang Tiexiong and his wife looked at the fifty taels on the kang, and they didn't know what to do.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Tang Qing'er's uncle and brother-in-law came over in an ox cart, pulling a lot of things on the cart, Tang Tiezhu helped unload things, and wood and stones circled around the uncles.

When Li came out to see it, he sent some meat, as well as a big rooster that had been killed and cleaned up, a large basket of cabbage and radishes, and a few mushrooms, which were the greens to eat later.

Such a big movement had already alarmed the Zhang family, who was lying in the upper room, and hurriedly put on a cotton coat and came out, staring at the things Tang Tiezhu was carrying in his hand.

The Li brothers, who were holding wood and stones, saw the Zhang family coming out and hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, have a good New Year!" ”

Zhang sorted out his clothes, coughed and said, "Hello family, it's going to be the New Year, come and send something to the old family,"

Before the eldest brother spoke, the second brother of the Li family interjected: "Yes, when you didn't split up before, you were embarrassed to send it here, after all, some things can't be taken out of your hands, since you have been separated and eaten separately, this is why you dare to send them here, these things are what my little sister loved to eat before,"

Hearing this, Zhang said sarcastically: "My family, how can I say that my mother-in-law has brought a lot of things, and the old family's house is small, so it is better to put my house, the place is big and spacious,"

The second brother of the Li family said casually: "It's not good to trouble my mother-in-law, I'm saying that my mother doesn't have many things to send to my little sister, if you can't fit it in the house as you said, her sisters-in-law should be unhappy," while talking, he prevaricated about this matter.

Zhang still wanted to say nothing, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only watch those things move into the old family's house like this, and said bitterly: "It should be!" You're welcome! ”

The eldest brother of the Li family saw that the second brother said about the same, so he made a look, and the two brothers moved everything into the house together with Tang Tiezhu, the Li family had already prepared chrysanthemum tea, and brewed it cold for the eldest brother and the second brother to drink, the Li family drove the ox cart all the way, and moved a lot of things, and was thirsty, so he drank all the tea in one go, and when he came back to the taste, he licked his mouth and said: "What kind of tea is this, so delicious,"

Li refilled some water in the tea and said: "This is Qing'er playing in the field in the summer, I saw the field full of wild chrysanthemums, I thought it was fragrant and picked it back, and I basked them in a cool place, who knew that the road had not broken after such a long time, some time ago, while we were not paying attention, I was shocked to soak in water to drink, I was afraid that this child would be poisoned,"

Brother Li hugged Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, this is not good, if you have an accident, your mother will not die of sadness,"

Tang Qing'er hugged her uncle's neck and said with a smile: "It's nothing to do, it's my mother who is making a big fuss,"

Li pretended to be angry and said: "Big brother, look at this child, I don't know who Lu Dao looks like, he is very bold, that day I was scared and the head of the family turned pale, she was the same as a person, and said straight in her mouth: No trouble, no matter, the more she said that there was no matter, the more scared I was with the family, her father hurriedly took her to the barefoot doctor in the village to see, the barefoot doctor said that there was no big problem, and said that this chrysanthemum soaked in water has many effects, what clears heat and defeats fire, clears the liver and brightens the eyes, and detoxifies and reduces inflammation, in short, the doctor said too much, I didn't rememberοΌŒβ€

Tang Qing'er was like a child, raised her chin and said, "It's okay,"

After hearing this, the Li brothers laughed and said: "Little sister, you are a good girl, if you and your brother-in-law have such a character, you must not be bullied to death, your family must have a powerful person who is not afraid of things,"

Li originally wanted to use the eldest brother's mouth to teach his daughter a lesson, but he didn't expect the eldest brother to praise his daughter fiercely, and his tense face couldn't hold back a smile anymore, and sighed and said, "It's really a little devil who came out,"

The second brother of the Li family and Tang Tiezhu also laughed when they heard this, and the second brother of the Li family even drank the taste of this chrysanthemum tea, so he said: "You still have this chrysanthemum tea, if you have it, decorate it for us, just in time for the Chinese New Year, keep it for people to drink," the eldest brother of the Li family also nodded and said yes.

Li saw that the eldest brother and the second brother had drunk this tea, so he got up and took a small cloth bag to the outside room, and waited for Li to come in with a small half bag of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to the eldest brother and said: "In the summer, Qing'er went to pick it without doing anything, and picked a lot, as if he didn't want money, and dried them again, and when they were dried, it was only as many as two small bags,"

Tang Qing'er pouted, pretending to be serious and said, "Mother, these don't need money in the first place!" ”

This expression and these words made everyone in the room laugh, even the Li family couldn't help laughing, and wanted to beat her, but he was reluctant, so he could only stare at her with his eyes, Tang Qing'er pretended to be afraid, and lay on his uncle's neck and said: "Uncle, if you leave, my mother will definitely beat me, otherwise I will go with you, I will spend the New Year at my grandmother's house,"

The eldest brother of the Li family, Ha Luha, said with a smile: "Okay, I will go back to my grandmother's house with my uncle today and celebrate the New Year at my mother's house,"

Li squinted at the eldest brother: "Qing'er is used to being like this now, you see that she is like this now, where is she still like a girl's family,"

Tang Qing'er pouted at her mother and didn't squeak.

Zhang's heart was aggrieved, and he went to Ma's house with his feet, Ma was embroidering a belly pocket for the baby in the house, seeing his mother-in-law come in with an unkind face, he tried to swallow the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mother is here, something?" ”

"What? If you don't have something, you can't come," Zhang sprinkled the fire on Ma's body, and tunneled: "The mother-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law sent so many things, either chicken or vegetables, why didn't you see what your mother-in-law sent you." ”

Ma guessed that her mother-in-law was not good, and she wanted to envy the things sent by her sister-in-law's mother's family, but she didn't catch anything, so she sprinkled the fire on herself, which was really funny, because she had no baby for several years since she was married, she didn't want to see her, and now she is pregnant, she has a baby by her side, what are you afraid of, and she whispered slowly: "My mother asked me two days ago, it's going to be the New Year, what to send to her, isn't it worrying?" When we split up, we didn't get much money, and now that we have a baby in our belly, we are even more reluctant to spend money, or else, mother, you can borrow some from us, and return it to you when we have money."

Originally, I wanted to let Ma take out some money to honor her, who knew that Ma Dao relied on the baby in her belly to ask her for money, the last time Jing'er got married, Ma didn't fill in the dowry, and she couldn't look past it, and made up for it with her own money, this time she couldn't say anything about Ma's mind, and said sarcastically: "The last time your sister got married, I added money for you, and you want to take money from me to supplement your mother's family, what do you think,"

"Mother, look at what you said, if we are rich, can we not honor you and our father, the family will soon have more mouths to eat, and life will be even more difficult," Ma Shi said with his head bowed and wiped his tears.

"Hmph, I've always heard that the little ones are filial to the old, but I haven't heard of the old giving the little money, since the third family is pregnant, it's harder to get something from you than to ascend to the sky." Zhang looked at Ma's unhurried attitude and said sarcastically angrily.

"Mother, you can't say that, you don't only have the son who is in charge, isn't there also the fourth family, or you go to the fourth family to see what the fourth brother and sister's family send her," and not only one son, why do you always find trouble with your own family.

"I'll go now, if the fourth daughter-in-law gives me something, you have to give me the same thing, so that it will be fair," Zhang's wishful thinking, Huang has been married for a year, and his stomach has not moved, he can use this to point at her, she is weak-hearted, and she must not honor herself, thinking about it, she immediately went to Huang's house.

Even after eating two closed-door soups, Zhang's face was as black as iron, and he didn't look at it when he entered the house, and said directly to Huang: "Fourth daughter-in-law, your sister-in-law's mother-in-law sent her something, what did your mother-in-law send you?"

Although Huang is the daughter-in-law hand-picked by the Zhang family, the little abacus in her heart is also jingling, and she asks rhetorically: "It's the New Year, shouldn't it be the head of the family and me to honor my mother's family?" Mother, are you right? ”

Zhang's face pulled down, and his voice was very rushed: "I don't care who you honor, I know that the New Year is over, what do you and the fourth child do to honor me and your father,"

Huang sighed, picked up the embroidered handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Mother, this year's New Year is really not filial to you and your father, sister-in-law out, it cost a lot of money in the family, and there is no money left, and when I go back to my parents' house on the second day of the New Year, my sister and brother-in-law will return to my parents' house with things, and I and the head of the house will not be able to go back empty-handed, otherwise the head of the house will not let my mother's family laugh." ”

Zhang's anger endured and endured, but he couldn't help but say: "My two sons, when they marry a daughter-in-law, they know how to save money in their own pockets, and they don't want to think about their father and mother who pulled them up, it's so unconscionable,"

Huang listened to his mother-in-law's roar without saying a word, bowed his head and sobbed, Zhang saw that he had scolded for most of the day, and Huang didn't say a word, and walked away angrily.

Ma saw his mother-in-law scolding back to his house in the house, and thought with a snicker: I still want to take out things from my four brothers and sisters, it's really a daydream.
