Chapter 66: The panic of burning too much money

At night, everyone in the family was washed and ready to go to bed, Tang Tiezhu closed the door, dimmed the light of the oil lamp in the house, for selling jujube wine today and sold ten taels of silver, to say that there is disappointment, although she has great hopes, but it is better to sell it than no one buys, holding ten taels of silver in her hand is still a little disappointed, looking at the sneaky appearance of the master, she can't help but smile and say: "What are you doing, like a thief,"

Tang Tiezhu, who carried a hundred taels of silver tickets and forty taels of broken silver in the afternoon, finally handed over the silver money to his mother-in-law peacefully, and Li did not pay attention to the silver ticket, and thought it was an ordinary rice paper, but he was startled when he saw the forty taels of broken silver on the kang, and when Tang Tiezhu told Li what happened in the restaurant during the day, Li looked at the silver ticket and said: "This is one hundred taels of silver, it is really one hundred taels of silver." ”

Tang Tiezhu grinned and said, "Then it's fake, what am I lying to you about," he had long forgotten that he was nervous when he saw the silver ticket in the carriage.

Li Shi took the silver ticket and silver and said: "I didn't expect to sell it for so much money, I can't believe it when I get it, where we hide this money, I don't worry about where to hide it, I'm always worried that someone will steal it." He bit the silver on the kang with his mouth, and found that he could bite it, but he was even more excited.

Tang Tiezhu thought about it, the house is such a big place, where to put it is not safe, sitting on the kang with the Li family, thinking together, where to hide this money, in the end, Li went to the kitchen to get a jar back, put the silver ticket and the silver in the jar, and asked the head of the house to dig a pit under the stool in the house, seal the jar, and put it inside.

After the silver was hidden, Tang Tiezhu gradually came up to sleep, but Li was still sober and not sleepy at all, Tang Tiezhu cheered up and said to Li: "Tomorrow, I will send fifty taels of silver to my second brother's family, and the remaining one hundred taels of silver will be kept for my own use."

Li Shi did not object, suddenly remembered that this was inappropriate, so he said to the owner: "I don't think this is in a hurry, wait for the limelight to pass, after two days, while everyone is not paying attention, you take the silver ticket to the money village to try, to see if it is true, if you can exchange the silver taels, we are sending the silver at home to the second brother, if not, we will divide the fifty taels of silver and half of the family, what do you think?" ”

"Well, you're right, it's better to be steady, but the second brother and second brother and sister both saw that Sanshun gave us ten taels of silver, and you still send five taels to your younger brother and sister tomorrow morning, she thought about it a lot," Tang Tiezhu was very in favor of Li's decision.

The husband and wife talked for a while, and Tang Tiezhu said, "Let's go to bed early, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow?" ”

Tang Tiezhu went down to the ground to completely extinguish the lamp oil, hugged his mother-in-law and fell asleep thinking about things, on the other hand, the Li family, always tossed and turned in the arms of the master, with so much silver at home, her heart was like a cat's claw, and she was uncomfortable, in the old saying, it was a panic that burned too much money.

The next day, Li got up early, his face was a little bad, and he made a meal to wake up the villain in the family, Tang Qinger woke up, and unexpectedly found that her father, who had always gotten up early, had not gotten up yet, guessing that it must be because he was too excited last night and didn't sleep for half a night, but only Li knew that the reason for being in charge was that he was earning money, and he was seriously ill in his heart, and he slept very peacefully.

Tang Tiezhu, the head of the family, rarely got up later than the babies, and when he got up and went out of the kitchen to eat, he didn't see a baby, so he asked his mother-in-law, Li Shi gave him a blank look and said: "What time is this, the sons have already gone to the school, and Qing'er is playing in the house with her sister?" You eat here, I'll go talk to my second brother and sister, and when you're done eating, put the bowl on the table, and I'll come back and clean it up in a while. ”

Tang Tiezhu knew what the Li family was looking for his second sibling for, so he didn't say anything anymore and began to concentrate on eating.

Li came to Sun's house and saw that she was embroidering a mandarin duck purse on the kang, so he smiled and said: "The craftsmanship of the second brother and sister is getting more and more refined, and this mandarin duck embroidery is the same as a real living thing."

Sun raised his head to speak, but the needle and thread in his hand did not stop and said: "The sixth aunt at the entrance of the village in front of me took over the work of an embroidery building in the town, and just found someone to embroider a purse, I don't have anything to do now, so I took some, and there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, and I am about to sell it to her to earn some money to keep for the New Year,"

"That's good, you can make money without delaying the family's work," Li praised Sun's embroidered purse.

"Sister-in-law, do you have something to do with me?" Sun thought that there was something wrong with Li's coming, so he stopped what he was doing.

Li took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Sun and said, "This is the money earned from selling jujube wine yesterday, take half of it and come to you,"

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, we didn't help at all, although we helped pick some dates and brew them, the rest didn't help at all, even the eldest brother went to the town alone and found a buyer to sell it," Sun was very moved to see the money that Li took him, but in order to make the relationship between the two families better in the future, he couldn't ask for this money.

"At the beginning, we said that in the future, the jujube wine will be sold for money, and the two families will be divided equally, which is what you deserve, if you don't want it, it will seem that the relationship between the brothers in charge and between our concubines is unfamiliar," Li knew Sun's stubborn temper, so he said ruthlessly.

The two pushed and pushed, but Sun still didn't resist Li's soft and hard means, accepted the money, and saw that the goal had been achieved, Li got up and said, "Your eldest brother was tired yesterday, got up late this morning, and is eating?" I'll go see if I'm done eating, you can get busy with yours first,"

Li Shi returned to the kitchen, saw that the dishes and chopsticks next to the pot were cleaned up, and then returned to the house, and saw the head of the house squatting in the place where the silver was hidden yesterday, and walked forward and said: "I sent the money to the second brother and sister, I didn't say that the jujube wine was sold for one hundred and fifty taels of silver, I want to wait for the limelight to pass, and exchange the silver ticket for cash in the second brother and sister."

"You did the right thing, alas, we really don't have a rich life, the family now sells jujube wine to make some money, so I don't worry about it at home, I always feel that someone is worried about it, so I have to stay here like this dog." Obviously, Tang Tiezhu still remembered that yesterday Zhang saw Sanshun handing him ten taels of silver, and he was surprised that he didn't close his mouth.

"We still have to do what we should do, just let others not see it," last night's excitement has passed, Li doesn't have so many ideas, anyway, the money is in his own hands, can he fly or not, after the New Year, start another house, away from here, life can be peaceful.

Tang Qing'er took Jiao'er into the house, and saw her father's bitter and hateful look, but her mother was radiant, and she couldn't understand why the difference between the faces of the two people was so big this night.

Sending Jiao'er into her mother's arms, Tang Qing'er sat on the edge of the kang, covered her mouth and snickered, "Dad, why is your face so bad?"

Her father hung his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little worried," ...... worried that the hidden money would be stolen.

Li Shi put his arm around Jiao'er and raised his head at Tang Qing'er and said, "Your father is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves," and said to Tang Qing'er: "Listen to your father, yesterday you accidentally wanted to eat noodles in the restaurant, and secretly packed the jujube wine into a bamboo tube and brought it to the town, taking the opportunity to taste it for others, so that your father sold the wine, and my mother knew that my daughter was smart,"

She's a mother, and she knows to praise her at this time! Yesterday, she was not allowed to follow her father to the town, but now she has credited her with the wheat date wine, which is not considered to be suppressed first and then promoted.

Tang Qing'er lowered her head and didn't squeak, she can't say too much at this time, what she sometimes does is not like what an eight-year-old girl does or thinks at all, Li thinks that her daughter is shy, and praises and says: "Half of the credit for our family's good things this year is earned by my daughter, and when you get married, my mother will definitely prepare something for you to add makeup,"

"Mother, look what you're talking about, I'm only a few years old now, and you're thinking about the long term," every time Tang Qing'er did something to make money, her mother would always say this.

Li put Jiao'er on the kang, and then walked around the house, Tang Qing'er looked at her mother just now, why couldn't she sit still now, and couldn't help asking, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Shi hurriedly said: "The family has money now, her father, you hurry up and go to Lizheng to have a look, buy a vacant land for us to build a house,"

Tang Tiezhu shook his head and said, "It's a bit too ostentatious to go now, let's wait a little longer,"

Tang Qing'er felt that what her father said was right, it was best to wait for the end of the New Year, and comforted her mother and said: "Mother, Dad is right, and when the New Year comes, Dad will go to the town to buy things for the New Year, and then the mother will quietly give the silver ticket to Daddy, and let Dad go to the money village to see if it is true, if it is true, let Dad exchange it for ten taels of silver, and send it to the second uncle's house, so that no one will be suspicious,"

Li thought about it, and then stabilized his mind: "Just do what the girl said,"

Maybe it's her father who has earned money in the past few months, and the Zhang family is especially enthusiastic about their family, seeing Tang Qing'er's sister and brother will always take out a few pieces of candy from their pockets and give them to them, Tang Qing'er doesn't care about these, just take it, if grandma asks them something, they don't know anything, the angry Zhang can't wait to slap them a few times, but they have to endure it, who makes the hometown feel better now.

Tang Qing'er told her mother about this, and her mother said very calmly: "Your grandmother must have asked for something, otherwise she will boo us like this." ”

Tang Qing'er also thought so, but her grandmother also saw that the family earned ten taels of silver by selling jujube wine last time, and gave five taels to the second uncle's family, how could she still worry about this?

Li's mother and daughter didn't know that Zhang's had a good calculation and wanted everyone to make jujube wine tomorrow with the third and fourth children, and everyone had money to earn together, which was the way to make money.

Anyway, Tang Qing'er doesn't care about those, there are delicious things to eat, and good things to eat, but she doesn't take anything that her milk wants to put out of her mouth.
