Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Ma Clan Inherits the Zhang Clan's Cheeky Skin
Li Shi thinks that this is not a problem, who to sell to is a problem, since the owner is the same as she thinks, then the price is according to the village, like their house, how can it be sold for five taels of silver, tunnel: "How about five taels of silver,"
Tang Tiezhu had no objection: "Okay, they almost have this silver in their hands, just this number!" ”
Half a month later, when it was almost time for dinner, Tang Tiefeng came over, saw that the eldest brother's family was eating, took the dishes and chopsticks and sat down and said, "What about eating?" It just so happens that I didn't eat, my daughter-in-law said that she was not hungry, and she would eat when she was hungry, and I don't like to do it myself, so I'll eat at your place today, big brother and sister-in-law, okay? ”
"Okay, I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook another dish for you," Seeing that the third brother was so enthusiastic, he hurriedly agreed.
"No, it's too troublesome, just eat it," he said, picking up the chopsticks and putting the food in his mouth, and then eating.
Li was also preparing a dish for the third brother, and he was also eating at home, but he didn't leave when he saw that he had already started eating.
Tang Qing'er's four sisters and brothers looked at the third uncle with curious eyes, is this a meal? How is it like a person who has been hungry for many days, and before he has swallowed the food in his mouth, he begins to desperately put vegetables in his mouth, seeing that he eats like this, several babies have no appetite at all.
Tang Tiefeng ate faster than anyone else at the table, and when everyone finished eating, Tang Qing'er helped Li clean up the dishes and chopsticks, wood and stone went to their house to review today's homework, Jiao'er was still ignorant and sat on the table back and forth, seeing that the people in the house were almost gone, and then said: "Big brother, I heard my father and mother say that you are going to move away and start another house,"
"There is this thing, the babies are all older, and they can't sleep in the same room all the time, so I have this thought." Knowing that the third brother had other meanings when he came to the house, Tang Tiezhu didn't dare to say anything.
"Big brother...... Where did you get so much money to build a house, just tell me while your sister-in-law is away," Before Tang Tiefeng came, Ma had already told him to come over for two purposes, one was to ask the eldest brother where the money to build the house came from, and the other was to use family affection to buy his house at the cheapest price.
Originally, she went back to the house to take the rest of the plates, but Tang Qing'er, who happened to hear this, really wanted to feed all the food that the fourth uncle had eaten just now to the dog, how could she eat her family's food and still worry about other things, she was really greedy.
After Tang Qing'er entered the house, she heard her father say: "How much silver is there in the family, I borrowed some from my mother-in-law's house, and I sold things last autumn to earn some silver, but that was not enough, thinking that if I sold this house, it would be worth a little silver." ”
After Tang Tiefeng heard this, he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, and when he saw Tang Qing'er come in, he changed the topic and said: "Qing'er, this girl is becoming more and more sensible, and she knows how to help her sister-in-law share the housework,"
Tang Qing'er smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, I don't want to, who let our family have no money, and there are many younger brothers and sisters, if you don't help my mother share some of it, my mother will be tired sooner or later." ”
"Yes, yes," Tang Tiefeng wanted to ask the eldest brother how much silver this house was going to sell, but listening to the tone of the eldest brother just now, he was embarrassed to give less silver, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw the fourth brother coming.
Tang Tiequan was stunned for a moment when he saw the third brother at the eldest brother's house, and said unhurriedly: "Third brother, why are you here?" ”
Tang Tiefeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you here, you and I should be here for the same thing,"
"Oh, I didn't think that the third brother and I would have the same opinion on the same thing," Tang Tiequan was a little ridiculous, turned his head to Tang Tiezhu and said: "Big brother, I know that you will build a new house in the spring, and you don't need this old house, I want to buy it and keep it for later use,"
"Fourth brother, I'm talking to my eldest brother about this, it's a little bad for you to come over and insert a bar!" Tang Tiefeng was a little annoyed, and the fourth child didn't take him seriously.
"Third brother, if the eldest brother sells it to you, I won't say anything, it looks like you haven't discussed it with the eldest brother yet, just take me with you, there are many people to discuss it," Tang Tiequan looked at Tang Tiefeng indifferently.
Tang Tiezhu saw that the third and fourth were about to fight, and dissuaded: "Don't quarrel, I discussed this house with your sister-in-law and decided to sell it to the third child, after all, the third daughter-in-law is pregnant and is about to give birth, how can the house on my side be bigger than his place, and the lighting can be better,"
"Big brother, I have the bottom in my heart when you say that," Tang Tiefeng said with a smile.
"Third child, don't be too happy too early, this house and your sister-in-law and I are going to sell it for five taels at the price in the village," Tang Tiezhu directly threw out the price of silver.
"Big brother, you're a little too expensive, can you be less, you said that my daughter-in-law wants to give birth to a baby, and the baby has to spend silver when she is born, you should be an uncle for the baby, and ask for less silver," I was going to give two taels of silver, but the eldest brother is really a lion.
"Third brother, if you don't buy it, then I'll buy it, and I'll have all the money ready." Tang Tiequan gave the eldest brother a look when the third brother was not paying attention.
"What are you blowing, the eldest brother said to sell the house to me, what are you still mixing with, are you saying that the eldest brother said that it can really sell so much for five taels of silver,"
"The third child, I didn't sell much of this house itself, I was saying that I was going to build a house in the spring, and I needed silver everywhere, it couldn't be lower, if you didn't buy it if it was too expensive, then I would sell it to the fourth," Tang Tiezhu instantly understood what the fourth man meant, so he followed his words.
Tang Qing'er slowly wiped the table on the side, pricked up her ears to listen to them, and saw the fourth uncle giving her father a look, and couldn't help snickering in her heart, when did the fourth uncle react so quickly, this idea must have been instructed by someone behind him, and it is not difficult to guess that this person must be the fourth aunt.
"Fourth brother, I brought all the silver, you can sell it to me directly, the third brother and the third brother have been inking for a long time, and he is still hesitant." Tang Tiequan looked down on the third brother when he looked at him.
"I'll buy it, big brother, I'll go home and get you the silver later," he thought: I won't give the silver today, and I'll cry poor tomorrow, and the big brother will definitely be able to give me cheaper.
"Oh, third brother, if you don't come back in two quarters of an hour, the eldest brother's house will be sold to me,"
"Well, third brother, I can't always favor you, if you don't come in two quarters of an hour, I'll sell this house to the fourth brother, don't blame me,"
Tang Tiefeng's face darkened, and without saying a word, he went back to discuss countermeasures with Ma.
Tang Qing'er saw the third uncle leave angrily, and quietly gave a thumbs up to the fourth uncle, Tang Tiequan was happy, hugged her and said, "The little baby's family actually knows how to laugh at your fourth uncle,"
"Where is the joke about you, I really admire you, where did you learn this trick Fourth Uncle," Tang Qing'er looked studious.
Tang Tiequan's vanity swelled instantly, and he laughed: "You don't know your fourth uncle, how do you know these bends, this is what your fourth aunt told me, she saw your third uncle coming, and guessed that your third uncle would embarrass your father because of the house, so I came to the rescue." ”
Sure enough, as Tang Qing'er expected, the fourth aunt helped a lot in this matter, in this family, the fourth aunt should be the most profound in terms of scheming, usually don't talk much, she is never lazy when she should be done, she doesn't even look at what she shouldn't do, she is not close to anyone in this family, and she does her own thing.
The fourth aunt should have guessed a long time ago that her father's house was sold to the third uncle, and the fourth uncle came to the rescue, which can be said to be once and for all, which can not only let her father step on the fourth uncle's love, but also deepen the relationship with their family.
Ma was leaning in the house, the bigger the baby in the belly, it was uncomfortable to sit or lie down, so he could only recline, and when he saw the head of the house coming back with anger, he asked puzzledly: "It's done, why are you still so angry." ”
"Don't mention it, I was talking to the eldest brother about Zhenghuan, who knew that the fourth brother came over and inserted a pole, saying that he also wanted to buy it, and the eldest brother took advantage of his words and said: The house will be sold for five taels of silver, if we don't buy it, we will buy it for the fourth brother, I will find an excuse to come back and discuss with you whether to buy it or not," Originally, he was not allowed to buy the eldest brother's house, and his mother-in-law said that his house was small and a little cloudy, and it was not good for him to be born in the future.
"What five taels of silver! So much! Ma Shi leaned on and immediately started to do it, forgetting that she was still pregnant with a baby in her belly, if the baby hadn't kicked her belly, she would have to go to the old family's theory when she put on her shoes.
"Actually, it's not expensive, the houses in the village are almost all at this price, the daughter-in-law or we don't buy it, you see that the baby has to spend a lot of silver when it is born, where do we have the silver to raise the baby after buying a house."
"Hmph, say you're stupid, you're really stupid, we don't have silver, our mother has silver, she can bear to let her eldest grandson not have enough food and clothing," what kind of person is her mother-in-law, Ma knows best, maybe she doesn't care about her, but her own grandson must be happy.
"Then don't say anything, take five taels of silver out, and I'll send it to the eldest brother," Thinking of being ridiculed by the fourth child, Tang Tiefeng felt that it was not a taste.
"Stupid, you give the silver now, in case the eldest brother's family doesn't move, what will happen then," Ma quietly said to the boss that she wanted to get the trick, and the boss nodded straight, and then he helped his waist to open the box and take the silver and hand it to him.
Tang Tiefeng went to the old family again with the silver, put the silver on the table and said: "Big brother, it's not that I, who is a younger brother, don't trust you, I see that it's not yet the beginning of spring, you just let me give five taels of silver, if you decide not to move in two months, and I give you the silver again, what if you don't have the silver to pay me back?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Tiezhu's face was not good after hearing this, and he asked with anger.
"Big brother, you see that you will charge me three taels of silver first, and the remaining two taels will wait for your house to be built and move in, and I will give you the remaining two taels, okay?" This is what Ma wants to do, let's give three taels first, and after the remaining two taels and other old people move in, we will ask for us, and we will say that we have no money, and we have to raise a baby, crying poor to him.
Tang Tiezhu and Tang Tiequan didn't expect that the third child would go home to get the silver this time, and they could think of such a shameless trick, Tang Tiezhu couldn't refute it, so he could only do what the third child said.
Tang Qing'er never thought that the third uncle would come up with such an idea, his face turned purple with anger, isn't this a lie? But what he said is also reasonable, if this house is not sold to him today, and when Kaichun is selling him, he may not even be able to get three taels of silver, this bad trick must have been thought up by the third aunt, it is really a good daughter-in-law of her grandmother, like her, shameless to a certain extent, and her grandmother can be regarded as a successor to take over her class.
She is uncomfortable and can't make the third uncle feel comfortable, even if the silver doesn't come back in the future, she has to respond to him, and joked while her father didn't speak: "Then the third uncle shouldn't write an IOU to my father, although no one in the family can owe anyone silver, but it's good to have a paperwork, dad, you say no,"
"Adults talk, how can you interject, go back to your house and stay!" Although Tang Tiezhu felt that his daughter's words were reasonable, but when an adult spoke, it was not good for her to intervene with such a little baby, and he was afraid that the third child would say that his daughter did not understand respect and humility and did not understand upbringing, so he reprimanded him.
"How could I be wrong, I went to the restaurant to eat last autumn, didn't the owner just let the bitter person who owed him money to set up a document, although the third uncle is my own uncle, but the brother still has to settle the account, what can I do if I set up a document, the third uncle is not not not giving us silver, this is just a procedure." Tang Qing'er pouted and said unhappily.
"Big brother, I think Qing'er is right, the third brother should set up a document for you," Tang Tiequan now adheres to the idea of not being afraid of big things, but not big things.
was ridiculed by the fourth child, Tang Tiefeng endured it, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by the half-big girl, he directly said angrily: "Stand up, who is afraid of whom,"
Tang Qing'er said quickly: "I'm going to call Mu Tou over and let him help with the writing,"
The document was written quickly, and Tang Tiezhu handed the receipt to Tang Qing'er and asked her to hand it over to her mother for safekeeping.
Although the process is very complicated, the result is still satisfactory, no matter whether the third uncle gives the two taels of silver or not, it is good to choke him from time to time, Tang Tiequan looked at this result and left with a smile on his face, Tang Tiefeng did not turn black this time, but returned to his house with a blue face.
Tang Qing'er quietly followed behind the third uncle, secretly lying under the window of the third uncle's house, and heard the third aunt scolding and saying that everyone in her family was not.
