Chapter 10: Grandma Comes Again
In the afternoon, Du Yue practiced needlework in the room with Yuan Ping, and slowly became more proficient in his hands, and it was not so easy to pierce his hands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yuanping saw that Du Yue was a little more hands-on, and finally she didn't have to teach her hand in hand, she began to sew clothes wholeheartedly, and let Du Yue continue to practice on the side.
I don't know who is knocking on the door outside the "tuk tuk", Liu Yuanqing, who was sitting in the hall, heard it and hurriedly opened the door.
"Grandma, you're here." Liu Yuanqing saw that it was grandma, and hurriedly let grandma in.
"Well, your parents are here, right?" Grandma Liu Li asked.
"It's all there." Liu Yuanqing replied.
Liu Tianming and his wife were sitting in the hall, and Lin was sewing a piece of clothing, and when he saw his mother-in-law coming, he hurriedly put down his work and moved a chair for his mother-in-law to sit on. Li sat down directly.
"Second brother, I heard that you went to the county seat today to sell a big wild boar, how much silver did you sell?" When Li heard the villagers say that they saw Liu Tianming go to the county seat to sell wild boars in the morning, he came directly to ask.
"Well, yes, yesterday I went hunting with Qing'er or Yue'er, and I happened to catch a wild boar, and I sold it for some money this morning." Although Liu Tianming is simple, he is not stupid, and he didn't say how much money he sold, because every time he made some money, his mother always wanted to go, and he didn't care how poor he was.
"Such a big wild boar should be able to sell a lot, at least a few taels, right?" The Lee family is not so easy to fool.
"It's not much, it's sold whole, it's been a long time to sell, I'm afraid that it will be bad if I put it for a long time, and if someone wants to buy it, I'll sell it quickly." Liu Tianming still avoided the important and said lightly, but he didn't want to tell his mother how much, because he knew that this mother would say that he would ask for money again, and if he didn't give it, he would have to go around saying that he was unfilial, and if he wore such a big hat, his reputation would be bad, but his mother didn't care if his reputation was bad at all, she only thought about the eldest brother's family, as if she was picked up from outside, and after many times, Liu Tianming was also resentful, but he could only talk to his daughter-in-law.
"How many are there, I'm going to kiss Jian'er recently, and I'm short of money in my hand." Jian'er is the son of Liu Tianming's eldest brother.
"Mother, this should be arranged by my sister-in-law, and you are still worried about it." Liu Tianming said dissatisfied.
"I live in your eldest brother's house, and I don't want you to raise it anymore, just rely on your eldest brother, can't I help my grandson say goodbye." Li Shi was dissatisfied, and his voice became louder.
"Mother, how can I say no."
"Okay, you give me the money from selling pigs this morning, I don't want more, you can give two taels, you can keep the rest for yourself, this is your filial piety to me and your father." Li opened his mouth is two taels, although the pig and hare pheasant in the morning is sold for more than five taels, but they are given two taels of Du Yue, and then take two taels over, they can only have one or two left, their own house is so broken, I have been trying to repair it and can't overhaul it, I can only make up where the leakage is, but my mother just can't see these, always thinking about asking for money. Liu Tianming had the heart not to give it, but every time he said that he was filial to his father, and if he didn't give it, he shouted that the whole village knew about it.
"Mother, the pig in the morning was only sold for more than two taels, you look at my house, when it rains, it rains heavily outside the house, and it rains lightly in the house, and I am thinking of using this money to repair it, you see I will give one or two lines." Liu Tianming didn't want to give so much, no matter how much he gave, he was posted to his eldest brother, thinking about his mother's partiality, he felt very uncomfortable.
"How can such a big pig only get more than two or two." Lee didn't believe it.
"Mother, didn't I tell you, because no one bought it after a long time, and I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to sell at a price if it was broken, and it wouldn't be worth it to bring back to eat, so it was sold cheaply." The more Liu Tianming spoke, the more he felt wronged, but his mother didn't understand it at all, and always thought that he could hunt and make more money.
"Okay, don't talk to me about these things that you don't have, it's enough for you to keep a half or two taels of silver to cultivate, and give me one or two halves now." Li didn't want to listen to this son anymore, he just wanted to take the money and leave.
Liu Tianming couldn't, so he had to ask his daughter-in-law Lin to go back to the room and take out the money to his mother, and Li left happily when he got the money, leaving Liu Tianming's family sad.
"I'm sorry, but I can't make a good living." Liu Tianming said to his daughter-in-law very guiltily.
"A lifelong husband and wife, what are you talking about now?" Lin saw that his son was also on the side, and he was embarrassed to say this, his voice was small.
"Grandma is finally gone." Yuan Ping couldn't listen to it anymore in the room. Du Yue and Yuan Ping knew that Grandma Li was coming, Du Yue originally wanted to come out, but Yuan Ping pulled it and didn't let it out, Yuan Ping knew that Grandma was a person, if Du Yue came out and knew that Du Yue was also rich, he would definitely want it. It's not that Yuan Ping is not filial, but grandma is always too much, every time Yuan Ping says, her father always wants to discipline her, but Yuan Ping can't hold it back, so sometimes he simply hides in the room and doesn't come out, and this time he doesn't come out.
Liu Tianming didn't answer Yuan Ping's words, no matter how he said it, it was also his mother, the parents who were all in the world. The family stopped talking about it and moved on to other topics. But the atmosphere at home was not as good as when Liu Tianming and they came back at noon.
"Ping'er, you take me to that Lu Langzhong, I'll go and give the medicine money I owe." Du Yue wanted to go out to breathe, and she practiced needlework all afternoon, but she was quite bored.
"Okay, I'll take you." Yuan Ping said.
Du Yue entered the room and took the money, greeted Liu Tianming and followed Yuan Ping.
Yuan Ping took Du Yue all the way to Lu Langzhong's house in the east of the village. Lu Langzhong was not originally from this village, but only settled in this Liujiazhuang with his family more than ten years ago, and the people in the village saw that it was a Langzhong, and they were very happy to live in Lu Langzhong, after all, there was no need to run to the town's hospital for a headache and fever, so Li Zheng also set aside a piece of land in the east of the village to build a house for Lu Langzhong.
Yuan Ping talked to Du Yue all the way about Lu Langzhong, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at Lu Langzhong's house.
"Is Lu Langzhong at home?" Yuan Ping knocked on the courtyard door and shouted.
"It's coming, it's coming." After a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties came over and opened the door, and the woman who opened the door was none other than Lu Langzhong's daughter-in-law, Cui Shi. "Yuanping, what's wrong?" Seeing that it was Yuan Ping, Cui Shi asked.
"Last time, I owed Lu Langzhong more than a dozen yuan for medicine, and now I have a little money in my hand, so I will pay it back first." Yuan Ping said.
"Come in, he's at home." Cui's heard this, so she hurriedly let people in first, and asked Du Yue and the two to come in and wait, and she went to call Lu Langzhong to come out.
Du Yue looked at the courtyard, and there were a bunch of herbs drying in the courtyard, which was probably picked by Lu Langzhong himself.
After a while, Lu Langzhong came out.
"Lu Langzhong, this is the sixteen Wen owed, you count." As soon as Du Yue saw Lu Langzhong coming out, she handed over the prepared money.
"Okay." Lu Langzhong didn't count the money when he took it, and put it away directly.
Du Yue returned the money, and came out with Yuan Ping, thinking that it was still early, so he walked around the village and then went home.
