Chapter 17
"In that case, mother, why don't you ask for more silver, but the eldest brother took a few hundred taels from our family." Although he felt a little better, Tian Laosi still felt that it was too cheap for Tian Laosi.
"A few hundred taels of silver is the total, after so many years, how much do you think he can have left." I want a lot, in case Boss Tian doesn't want to break up, wouldn't Jiang Wanbai regret it. Of course, she wouldn't tell Tian Laosi and others what it meant.
Tian Laosi and Zhao showed their original appearance.
"By the way, mother, with these sixty taels, plus the twenty taels given by the Ma family, will we be able to buy the yard of the Liangdong family?" Zhao wanted to have a place for her more than anyone else, so she hurriedly asked.
"Almost!" Jiang Wanbai responded with a smile. She felt that the past two days were like a war, although the process was very tortuous, but on the whole she was victorious, removed two tumors, and changed to a more developed house, she believes that the future will be better and better.
In the afternoon, the third child came back with Zhang's family, Zhang's eyes were a little swollen, and he cried when he saw it, and when he saw Jiang Wanbai, Zhang's face was full of gratitude, saying that his father asked her to ask Jiang Wanbai on his behalf, and thank Jiang Wanbai.
Zhao happened to see it, and he didn't know what he muttered sourly, so he went back to his room.
Jiang Wanbai ignored her, and asked how Zhang's family was doing, whether her father's illness was better, and her brother's situation.
Zhang's only promise is good, Jiang Wanbai almost believed it, if she didn't happen to see Tian Chengyu with an unhappy face.
Knowing that he couldn't ask the Zhang family for a reason, Jiang Wanbai left Tian Chengyu and asked the Zhang family and Tian Laosan to go back to rest.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wanbai pulled Tian Chengyu to sit next to her.
"It's not a mother yet, it's okay to do anything, she's talking nonsense at all." Tian Chengyu said with an angry face.
"What nonsense?" Jiang Wanbai asked.
"Milk, you don't know, when we went, my uncle's house didn't even have a decent grain of grain, it was just some sweet potato seedlings and coarse rice husks for pigs. In order to entertain us, my uncle went out for more than half an hour before borrowing a little rice, which is estimated to be enough for one person to eat.
In the end, we made a meal with the rice we brought, and we ate it.
My uncle's house was already like this, but when we left, he said that my mother had taken so many things to my mother's house, and I was afraid that outsiders would gossip, so I left a little rice and asked my mother to take back all the other things.
Milk, guess how my mother did it? Tian Chengyu asked excitedly, and without waiting for Jiang Wanbai to answer, he continued, "My mother really took it, she really wanted to get the things back."
Why do you think my mother can do this, she doesn't want to think about it, grandpa has been sick, and she needs these fine grains to nourish her body, doesn't she want grandpa's life. The more Tian Chengyu spoke, the more angry he became, and suddenly thought of his own body, so he added countless grievances, and even his voice became hoarse, "Milk, what do you say my mother thinks."
Every time I quarrel with someone, no matter how right I am, she blames me, and then she always finds a reason why I did wrong and asks me to apologize to others. Whether she knows it or not, I know all the truths she said, but I don't want to hear it at all, I just want her to help me like the fourth aunt. ”
Before he finished speaking, Tian Chengyu's tears flowed down suddenly, wiped his tears with his hand, and continued, "Last time the fifth uncle wanted to sell me, I hated him, but I hated my mother even more, I wished she could save me, but she didn't have it at all."
At that time, I thought, sell it, but if I am really sold, I must make a lot of money in the future, and then come back and take the money and smash it in front of her, and ask her if I am her own child, and see if she will spend the money I earned. ”
Tian Chengyu pursed his lips tightly, and said as if he was ruthless, while his face was stubbornly shedding tears, and that appearance made Jiang Wanbai's eyes sour.
Hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Tian Chengyu's tears, and she comforted: "Good, don't cry." I know you feel sorry for your uncle and grandfather, wait a few days, I'll prepare some more things, and you can send them to your uncle. ”
"It's not just my uncle's business." Tian Chengyu said the words in his heart, and he calmed down a lot, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice.
Jiang Wanbai didn't expect Tian Chengyu to have so much resentment towards the Zhang family in her heart, and she couldn't help but worry and feel distressed. After thinking about it, she explained: "Actually, your mother also loves you very much, you may not know, on the day I woke up, she begged me not to sell you, if you want to sell her." ”
"I don't believe it." Tian Chengyu bit his lip with his teeth and did not look up.
"Really, how could I lie to you! Your mother's intentions are good, she wants to do her best in everything and satisfy everyone, but she has a soft temperament and will inevitably be bullied. You're grown up now, you're a little man, and you're supposed to protect your mother, the people you want to protect, aren't you? After Jiang Wanbai finished speaking, she felt so tired.
The kind of person that Zhang wants to do, I'm afraid no one in the whole world can do it, it is estimated that there is a fight with the Holy Mother and the White Lotus, she really can't understand Zhang's thoughts, and at this time, she can only try to say it.
Tian Chengyu listened to Jiang Wanbai's words, didn't know what to think, looked up at her, and his eyes slowly became firm and shining. This made Jiang Wanbai breathe a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Tian Chengyu would drill the tip of the horns and go on a crooked path.
That night, the third uncle was invited to the house by Jiang Wanbai again, and not long after he came, a carriage stopped at the door of Tian's house, and after a while, a person got off the carriage, it was Tian Boss.
At this time, Boss Tian completely lost the panic of the morning, and when he saw the third uncle, he showed a very sad look, "The family has suffered, I originally wanted to take my mother to live in the town, but my mother was unwilling to leave the township, and she was afraid of disturbing my study, so she thought of splitting the family, which is really embarrassing for my mother."
Ay! For the sake of my mother, I will also study hard in the future, and I will shine on the lintel in the future. Boss Tian said pretendly.
I want to be a, and I want to set up an archway, and I'm talking about Boss Tian. Looking at his terrified appearance, those who don't know the truth may have been deceived by him, and when the time comes, he will praise a good filial son and a wise old lady, maybe he can really fulfill his reputation.
However, obviously, the third uncle was not the one who didn't know the truth, he glanced at Boss Tian with disgust, and wrote down the matter of the separation on paper, and asked Jiang Wanbai if he had any objections to Boss Tian.
When the two of them saw it, they both said that they had no objections, so they both pressed their handprints, and then the third uncle also pressed their fingerprints, and this agreement on the separation of the family was considered effective.
The agreement is in triplicate, one copy for Jiang Wanbai, one copy for Boss Tian, and the remaining copy for the third uncle and ancestor to be put into the ancestral hall. In the future, Boss Tian will be the only branch of the Tian family.
Boss Tian was a little excited to get the agreement, with this agreement, he no longer had anything to do with this poor family, he didn't have to worry about the people in the family coming to the door, and he didn't have to worry about how to get rid of Mrs. Jiang day and night.
But just when his hand was about to touch the agreement, Jiang Wanbai snapped on the agreement.
"Mother?" Boss Tian's first reaction was that Jiang Wanbai regretted it, so he couldn't help shouting.
"Where's the silver?" Jiang Wanbai is more concerned about this.
It turned out to be silver, Tian Boss's heart fell back into his stomach, and he took out three ingots of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Wanbai, he said: "Mother, this is the child, his mother heard that the family was in trouble, and she was afraid that you would suffer, so she specially borrowed it from her mother's family to honor you."
For this, she was not less wronged at home, but she said that as long as you are happy, it will be worth it for her to do this. ”
At this time, Boss Tian did not forget to hold himself and even his daughter-in-law high, and pulled the fig leaf for himself.
Jiang Wanbai saw that he was so shameless, and really wanted to make Xiang paste him, but she didn't have Xiang in her hand, so she snapped and hit Boss Tian in the face, "There is no truth in your mouth, your mother is better to raise a son like you, it is better to raise a dog, at least the dog will not dislike the family, and will be loyal to the family." ”
Boss Tian covered his face and looked at Jiang Wanbai in disbelief. At the same time, everyone else in the room was also stunned, obviously, they didn't expect Jiang Wanbai to beat someone, and it was Boss Tian who she and Old Man Tian had always valued the most.
Because they were so shocked, these people didn't even notice Jiang Wan's language in the vernacular, isn't Tian Lao's mother her, but she said it as if it wasn't her.
Of course, whether Boss Tian's mother is Jiang Wanbai or not, only Jiang Wanbai knows in her heart.
After beating Boss Tian, Jiang Wanbai felt very relieved. If it weren't for the fact that she was afraid that what she had done would be too shocking, she really wanted to give Boss Tian two more blows and teach this ungrateful thing for Mrs. Jiang.
Reaching out to take the silver, Jiang Wanbai threw the agreement on Boss Tian's face, "Get out, I don't want to see you again in the future." ”
Boss Tian caught the agreement, looked at Jiang Wanbai suspiciously, and then glanced at the third uncle in the house, and then barely squeezed out a smile, "Then mother, you have a good rest, I'll leave first." With that, he turned around and got into the carriage without looking back.
"Hey! This kid ...... "The third uncle and ancestor wanted to say something and stopped.
Jiang Wanbai felt that she finally threw off a big bomb, which was really gratifying.
With a smile on her face, as if it wasn't her who was very angry just now, Jiang Wanbai said to the third uncle: "The matter of buying a house that I told you yesterday, the third uncle has to worry more." ”
The third uncle saw that Jiang Wanbai was so happy, and he also felt that he was a little too nosy. Nodding in agreement with her words, he said that he hadn't had time to give Liangdong the rent that Jiang Wanbai gave him yesterday, and now it was just right, so he directly told Liangdong about buying a house and asked Jiang Wanbai to wait for news.
Jiang Wanbai was naturally grateful, and wanted to leave the third uncle to eat at their house, but the third uncle refused, and finally she had to send the third uncle out of the door.
Moving is on the agenda, breaking the house is worth a lot, although the Tian family is poor, but after all, they have lived here for decades, and there are not a lot of sundries such as jars and jars. This one also felt useful, and that one was reluctant to throw away, and everyone in the Tian family was busy for two days before moving everything to their new home.
The last time I went back to see if there was anything left, Tian Lao Er and the others were full of reluctance. They grew up here, and all the memories carry the color of this place, and to suddenly let them go is tantamount to breaking off all their roots.
Tian Chengyu and a few other children are not so sad, in their opinion, the place where their relatives are is their home, and there are many mysterious places waiting for them to explore in their new home, which is much more interesting than here.
As for Jiang Wanbai, she almost couldn't wait to get out of here. There are too many memories belonging to Mrs. Jiang here, which makes her very annoyed, she is afraid that what happened to Mrs. Jiang last time that affected her thinking will happen again, so she is very happy to change places and live a different life.
Three generations, three feelings, but whether they want it or not, they have to leave here today.
After checking and confirming that there was nothing left, a group of people were just about to go out, when they smelled a foul smell, and then, they saw Tian Laosi, who had been missing just now, walking in with a dung bucket.
"Mother, you guys hurry up, I'll give some gifts to those dogs." Tian Laosi said, put down the bucket in his hand, and then scooped up the contents of the bucket with a gourd on one side and splashed it on the wall.
Instantly, the stench became even stronger. Looking at the wall again, I saw that there was a blue and black paste thing hanging there, smelly and disgusting, and in the blue and black thing, there was a group of white flowers and flowers squirming.
At this time, those things were spilled onto the wall, lost their focus, and were crackling and falling down, making people sick to their stomachs when they saw it.
"You'll splash it when we're gone." Zhao covered his nose and said.
"Then you guys go quickly." Tian Laosi urged.
There was no need for him to urge at all, Jiang Wanbai didn't dare to look at those things, so she covered her nose and rushed out. Running out of the gate in one go, she stroked her chest and let out a sigh, and at the same time dispelled the thoughts she was still thinking about just now.
She originally thought that since Tian Lao Er and the others were so reluctant to give up this house, it would not be impossible to buy this house back when they became rich in the future. But now, whoever loves to live in this house, she won't live in it.
"The fourth child will not have any problems doing this, right?" Tian Laosan was an honest man and asked with some concern.
"It's okay, we didn't demolish the house. Besides, they are the ones who are at fault, and they don't dare to do anything if they think about it. Jiang Wanbai was disgusted, and when she thought of Ma Xiaocui and the leper man when they entered the house and saw the scene in the house, she felt very relieved, so there was a hint of approval in her tone.
"That is, if they dare to come to us, we just have to talk to them." Zhao is very supportive of a thing that hurts people, "But the fourth child's trick is not very good, it is not as good as mine." After saying that, she raised her chin slightly, looking very proudly waiting for someone to ask her.
"What did you do?" Jiang Wanbai was really curious about what the Zhao family could do that was more disgusting than Tian Laosi, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph......" Zhao Shi picked up his triangular eyes and smiled, "I nailed the new pack of needles I bought to the kang with the needle tip facing up, and as soon as they got on the kang, I pricked them to a pulp, so that they knew that robbing other people's things was to be punished, haha..."
As if seeing that scene, Zhao smiled very happily.
Also, the farmer's kang is made of earth, and it is very easy to nail needles to it, but it is quite difficult to find the needles.
It is conceivable that Ma Xiaocui or anyone who finally broke through the dung defense line was just about to sit on the kang and enjoy the fruits of victory, but suddenly he was pricked by a needle in his buttocks and screamed in pain.
It can be seen that the Zhao family is really a stage higher than Tian Laosi, especially in this kind of thing.
Jiang Wanbai felt that the chrysanthemums hurt when she thought of those needles, but these things had nothing to do with her now, and her priority now was to make money.
That night, Jiang Wanbai held the first family meeting in their new home, which was actually a meeting rather than a work arrangement.
Now that the shrimp paste is selling very well, it is natural to make more before the autumn harvest, so Tian Laoer, Tian Laosan and Tian Chengyun temporarily put the work in the field and went to catch shrimp with Tian Chengyu and Tian Chengbao.
As for the female relatives of the family, they are responsible for mashing the shrimp into shrimp paste and making shrimp paste.
Also, the jar for shrimp paste is no longer enough, Jiang Wanbai wants to buy some, by the way, she also has to customize some smaller white porcelain jars, and package the shrimp paste well to see if it can be sold at a better price.
