Chapter 17: Trade-offs

Suddenly, the hen behind the yard clucked, and Qian Manxia stood up and said, "Lao Ma has laid eggs." Then he ran madly to the backyard to pick up the eggs and give them to Wu.

Wu took the eggs with a smile and said to Cheng Yue, "Our eggs are not sold, keep them for Yue'er to replenish her body, and you will be able to give birth to a fat boy next year." ”

Cheng Yue said doggedly, "Also make up for my father." ”

Qian Sangui raised his head when he heard this, and smiled silently. Qian Manxia has rarely seen her father smile since she was born, so when she saw this, she said to Cheng Yue, "Sister-in-law, you are so good at talking, you have made your father laugh." ”

Wu said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law has filial piety and a sweet mouth, learn some in the future, everyone loves to listen to good words." ”

Cheng Yue licked her lips and said with deep sympathy, "Yes, Brother Jiang also said that Yue'er's mouth is sweet." ”

Wu was angry and funny, said "silly girl", and went to the kitchen to put eggs.

When Wu came back after putting the eggs, he saw Cheng Yue sewing with a small dress, with a beautiful posture and a focused expression, the key is that the stitches are dense and even, and he is familiar with it at a glance. Wu was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect his daughter-in-law, who couldn't do any work, to do a good job of needlework. After that, she was finally able to help herself share some of the work.

Several people were happy, and when they heard the courtyard door ringing, Cheng Yue instinctively got up and ran to the hut.

"Ouch, slow down." Wu said in a low voice.

Seeing Cheng enter the hut, Qian Manxia went to open the door, and Qian's second daughter-in-law, Tang, walked in with a basket. It was extremely difficult for the Tang family to appear at their house, and when they saw her suddenly coming, several people were quite puzzled.

Tang sat on a small stool, lifted the coarse cloth covering the basket and said, "I heard that Manjiang's daughter-in-law has a body, so I specially sent ten eggs to make up for her." ”

In fact, Qian Ergui had already asked her to buy twenty eggs and send them to the third room, and she kept dragging them. I really couldn't hide today, so I counted 20 yuan in front of Qian Ergui and said to buy 20 eggs, but I only bought 10 eggs with 10 yuan.

The Qian family that the Tang family and the Wu family entered before and after the foot were the most unaccustomed to the Wu family's style. is also a talented girl who grew up in the countryside, soft and weak every day, relying on men to make money, relying on the fact that she gave birth to a son earlier than herself, not going to the field to do farm work, and is used to pleasing and selling well. The most annoying thing is that her in-laws are partial to her. Later, the man had an accident, and the son left, and her family's land had to rely on the help of her father-in-law and brothers. What is it!

"The second sister-in-law is not rich, why don't you give us eggs." Wu said that she knew that the eggs in the second room were not so delicious.

Tang said with a smile, "I'm not as sweet as others, and I don't pretend to be weak, so life at home is naturally not as good as other houses." We are honest in charge, busy with our own land, but also busy with other people's land, he is so tired that he can't eat an egg for a few days. Man He is small, he is growing his body, and he can only eat an egg in three or five days. But as I said, no matter how bad our family is, we have to buy ten eggs to make up for Manjiang's daughter-in-law. ”

When Qian Sangui heard this, he put down his work and went back to the room. Wu blushed with anger, and pushed the basket back with a dry smile, "The second sister-in-law took the eggs back to the second uncle and Manhe to make up for their bodies, and we still have them at home." ”

Qian Manxia was afraid that Tang would really bring the eggs back, so she hurriedly went to the eaves and took a straw basket that Qian Sangui had just knitted, and put the ten eggs into the straw basket. After loading it, he said, "Thank you, second uncle." Later, Brother Manhe's daughter-in-law was pregnant with a baby, and my mother sent her twenty eggs to eat. ”

Tang really thought that if the Wu family didn't want it, he would take it back again. But when she saw Qian Manxia take out the eggs, she was so angry that she ignored her. said to Wu, "How can you take it back?" Let us know that we are in charge, and I want to say that I don't miss brotherhood. ”

Saying that, Tang's eyes glanced at the left wing room twice and said, "Manjiang's daughter-in-law's small body can still get pregnant, ouch, it's really unexpected." Ugly, stupid, let's not talk about it first, she is too thin, and that small body will suffer from old sins when she gives birth to a child. Three years ago, wasn't the second daughter-in-law of the old Feng family too weak to give birth to a child and die? One corpse and two lives. ”

Wu couldn't help it, and raised his voice and said, "What did the second sister-in-law say?" My daughter-in-law is in good health, and she will give birth to a fat boy smoothly. ”

Tang "hummed", and only believed it in his heart. He also said, "Manjiang's daughter-in-law is stupid, what if she has a child like her in the future?" ”

Qian Manxia was angry and rushed out, "My sister-in-law is not stupid, only a fool will say that others are stupid in front of others." ”

Tang was unhappy, "I really don't have a tutor, where is there such a baby who talks to the elders?" She's a fool, and she doesn't want people to talk about it. ”

Wu said, "My daughter has a tutor. If you want the younger generation to respect herself as an elder, she has to be like an elder. Okay, I'm still busy, so I won't leave my second sister-in-law. ”

Wu stood up, picked up Qian Manxia and walked to the room. When Qian Manxia left, she didn't forget to carry the straw basket containing eggs.

In an instant, there was only one Tang family left in the courtyard, and he felt very shameless. scolded, "What kind of person, the old lady is here to give gifts, not to be angry." She got up with her basket and walked out of the courtyard in a rage.

Qian Yixiu, who was hiding in the corner, only heard his voice and did not see his person. This person is really a rare superlative, and his speech is too unpleasant.

Seeing that Tang was gone, Wu said to Qian Manxia, "You baby, what's the point of her eggs." ”

Qian Manxia said, "Why not?" Ten eggs can still make my father and sister-in-law eat for several days. Besides, just don't, the second uncle will say to the second uncle when she goes back that she gave our eggs, and then secretly cooked them at home, and our family also took a love for nothing. ”

Wu glared at her with a smile.

Qian Yixiu looked at the cute little aunt and gave her a flying kiss. Good boy, when my sister crosses over, she will definitely treat you well.

The sky was ashamed to be cold, and the flowers in front of the door were also grateful.

Cheng Yue will wander at the door when she has nothing to do, looking forward to the flowers outside the door blooming again through the crack in the door. In anticipation, she plumped up a little more, and her belly gradually grew bigger, but the growth of her belly was obviously not as good as that of other pregnant women in the village.

As soon as winter came, Qian Sangui lay in bed again and couldn't move. The only strong laborer is gone, and he has an extra mouth, and the few dollars in the family are not spent at all. Except for buying some cheap herbs for him to eat, there is no extra money to buy ginseng slices at all.

Wu wanted to sell another acre of land.

Qian Sangui didn't allow her to sell. The family was already overwhelmed, and he couldn't help much, and he couldn't be a drag anymore. He said, "Land is what our family depends on, try not to sell it." When the grandson is born in the future and the family can't get by, let's talk about selling the land. It's not worth selling land for a waster like me. ”

Wu cried and said, "As long as there are people, I can buy them back later." Besides, after a few years when Manjiang comes back, life will be better. ”

Qian Sangui sighed, "Buy it back? Easier said than done. Don't pin your hopes on Manjiang, if you fight for ten years, Manjiang won't be able to come back for ten years. Listen to me, let my daughter-in-law give birth to a grandson safely, and make the grandson healthy and healthy, and the grandson is the hope of our family. It's a good thing that a wasted person like me can live if I can, and I can't live with you. ”

Wu's tears flowed even more fiercely, looking at her weak husband, without taking tonics, how many days can this dilapidated body live? But the husband is right, he must take care of his grandson first.

Life is so helpless, and you always have to choose between the people you are most reluctant to.
