Chapter Ninety-Eight: Pooling Money
"Dad, mother." Zhao pulled Chen Xuemiao and knelt in front of Mrs. Chen, "This bracelet was dropped by Xue Yao at home, I am making a mistake with vanity, so I will take it and wear it first." The next time Xue Yao comes back, she will wear it away, this is rewarded by Dingfu, there is a record, and you can't give it away casually. ”
Zhao cried bitterly, and tears also appeared in the corners of Chen Xuemiao's eyes.
"Milk, I just have such a hairpin, which my sister brought to me from Dingfu, and this is the only one." Chen Xuemiao stared at the hairpin in Zhang's hand with teary eyes.
"Every time Xue Yao comes home from Dingfu, she wears a good one, and she carries a big bag of things to her home, and we haven't seen it, so it's all filled into the stomach of your second room. You said that this bracelet fell from Xueyao, who would believe it. Zhang Shimo rubbed the bracelet in his hand and looked at Zhao's eyes like a snake and scorpion, "There is such a big thing at home, and my sister-in-law still hides the bracelet, what is her heart?" You keep saying that Qi Lin is doing the future of the glorious ancestors, and the second brother can't have a stain on him and can't involve him, so let all the houses work together to raise money to pay off the debts of the eldest brother, why don't you take out the furniture on your body, is it possible that you have to keep it to supplement your mother's family. ”
Zhang's words are very absolute, and they make Mrs. Chen's thoughts come alive, but no, Zhao used to keep saying that what she eats and wears is subsidized by the Zhao family.
"Who subsidized the mother's family." Zhao hurriedly defended, "I am more anxious than anyone else about what happened to our house, I forgot that I still have a bracelet on my wrist when I am in a hurry, you just say that your second brother is in debt, and the fourth brother is also in debt, you say this It seems that it is all Xue Yao's father's fault, and the fourth brother is not at fault at all." Zhao seized the loopholes in Zhang's words and broke them one by one.
"No, the fourth brother of our family is not the second brother who seduces the scourge." Zhang's waist was crossed proudly.
Mrs. Chen's eyes swept sharply from the faces of Zhao and Zhang like knives,
"Second daughter-in-law, the bracelet in your hand is more important than your eyeballs. If such a big thing happened to the second child, you don't even say that you will take it out, whether you are the daughter-in-law of the Chen family or not. No wonder every time your mother comes to our house, you pull her to mutter, is it possible that your furniture has been looted by the Zhao family. Old Mrs. Chen's anger rose in her heart, and she spoke urgently. A mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in his throat, not up or down, shortness of breath and can't help coughing.
"Mother, that's not what I said. Even if this bracelet is exchanged for silver, it will not be exchanged for a few dollars. "Zhao is in a hurry, and the more he paints, the darker it becomes.
"If you come out for one tael of silver, you will lose one tael of debt." Mrs. Chen was aggressive, and her cough became more rapid, "You just want my son to eat in prison so much, I know your thoughts." You are not virtuous, forcing my son to raise a fan, you want my son to go to prison. ”
"Mother, I didn't!" Zhao fell to the ground and cried.
"Milk," Xue Miao got up, and cried while beating Mrs. Chen's back, "Milk, that hairpin is my favorite one." You ask the fourth aunt to return it to me. ”
This dead girl, your father is going to go to jail. You're still thinking about this Rausch.
"Oh, Xue Miao is pretty, when is it, and I'm still thinking about this thing." Zhang played with the hairpin in his hand, and the sunlight spilled in and fell on the hairpin, flashing with a little wave. Zhang's eyes were dazzled, "Tut, this hairpin can be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver, second sister-in-law, it is difficult for you to dress up Xue Miao so pretty, just to earn her a good future." No wonder he pulled Gu Gongzi's sleeve hard last time and rushed to be a maid for others. ”
Xue Miaojiao was crying with shame, and Zhao also blushed.
"Second sister-in-law, I think Ding Mansion is interesting to Xue Yao's girl, or you send Xue Miao in, the sisters are all small for others, and they can exchange a lot of silver back." Zhang also mentioned the exchange of Xue Yao and Xue Miao for silver.
Zhao hated Zhang's teeth, but it was irrefutable. Zhao's usual speech has always been reasonable to suppress Zhang's head, but Zhang's is not a vegetarian, usually does not involve her own interests, she doesn't care if she makes fun of her or anything, once it comes to interests, she will hang herself and do everything.
Old Man Chen's cigarette pouch was refilled with tobacco leaves, lit it, and took a hard puff, spewing out a spicy taste, and his expression could not be seen in the smoke fan. According to Chen Xuejiao's speculation, it is estimated that the old man Chen has lost his square inch at this time, and the two daughters-in-law are making a fuss in front of him.
After a long time, Old Man Chen spoke: "We didn't give the silver to the big house, and the boss is injured again, how can I have the face to ask the eldest daughter-in-law's mother's family to borrow money." ”
In the end, there was disappointment in the voice that could not be concealed.
Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qi'an glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Zhao and Zhang closed their mouths, no matter how the two of them fought each other, but in their hearts they calculated that the big house was the same.
Zhao glanced at Chen Xuemiao.
Chen Xuemiao became smarter, and quickly understood what Zhao meant, and pushed Mrs. Chen and said: "Milk, you and your grandfather have encountered troubles, everyone is pooling money, why did you eliminate the uncle, how much money did he spend on his family, why is the family in trouble now, he pretended to be confused." ”
Old Mrs. Chen's face changed, and she really wanted to take the big house out of debt.
"His father, they are all the same sons, there is something at home, why doesn't the boss come out, how much money did it cost our family to study Xiucai, and now it's time to pay back." Old Mrs. Chen turned over the old accounts and stared straight at Li.
Li lowered his head and remained silent.
"What Sister Xue Miao said, something happened to your father, and the hairpin on your head was reluctant, but accused my father of not coming forward. I have only heard that children are filial to their parents, but I have never heard of the eldest brother being filial to his younger brother. If the grandfather and grandmother encounter something, you don't need to say it, the father is the first to come out, but now it is the second uncle who encounters the matter, and it should be the second uncle's children. Xue Jiao stared at Xue Miao with a smile and reasoned.
"Dad, mother" Chen Zichang and Chen Zigui formed an alliance again, and the two knelt on the ground together.
Xue Miao's face was pale, and she couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
Zhao cried: "Mother, what should I do." ”
Zhang blew his nose vigorously, wiped the table leg and said: "If you can't get the money, the house and the land will not be able to be saved, and your big house is the same, you all live in the same yard, the land and the house are connected, and everyone will be unlucky together." Oh, my God. Just take a rope and tie me up with the big egg, the second egg, and the third egg and sell it. ”
Zhang burst into tears.
Why, the idea of hitting the big house whenever you encounter something is not as good as you want.
"The fourth aunt said something wrong, and the paperwork for the separation of the family was well placed there. The upper house is the upper house, the big house is the big house, and the debts of the second and fourth uncles have nothing to do with our big house. You will not be able to pay our debts with land and houses. Chen Xuejiao felt funny in her heart, threatening the big house with the house and land, the idea was good, but she hit the wrong person.
Chen Xuejiao felt annoyed, what happened in the second and fourth rooms, but she wanted to pull the big room in, and at this time, she didn't say how to remedy the mistakes made by the second and fourth children, but rushed to calculate the big house.
In an instant, there was indescribable anger and countless hurtful words in my heart. It's going to gush out. As soon as he turned his head and saw the corners of Chen Qi'an's calm mouth, the anger subsided as quickly as he came.
Old Man Chen's eyebrows tightened together.
Chen Xuejiao reminded loudly: "Now we are discussing how to repay the money, not a quarrel, let alone a big house." If you wait for the big house to get the money, the second and fourth uncles will really have to go to prison. ”
Chen Xuejiao's words made Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen fight a spirit.
But no, the second and fourth rooms bite the big house and don't do them any good, in the end, the big house just doesn't take the money, they don't have a problem, but it delays the time to make money.
"Daddy. Mother" Chen Zichang and Chen Zigui's faces turned pale and kowtowed.
Chen Xuejiao looked at them with disdain. She didn't believe that after this incident, they would change their faces. Wait and see, with Mrs. Chen and Old Man Chen here, they can only keep tossing.
In the past, Chen Zigui didn't have much trouble except for being lazy and gluttonous, but now he went with Chen Zichang to drink flower wine and raise powder, borrowing usury. It is easy for people to learn bad, but it is difficult to become good.
With these two sons here, the second elder is behind when he is worried.
"The third. How much money can you get out. Old Man Chen asked Chen Zifu.
Chen Zifu still said the same sentence: "...... The money is in the hands of my parents, where do I have money. ”
Mrs. Chen's eyes were not good, and she stared at Cai's stubbornly: "When you pass the door, your mother's family will accompany you to send a lot of money at the bottom of the box, and you have eaten and drunk public middle school all these years, what about that money?" ”
Cai's heart chilled. Even the daughter-in-law's dowry was in mind.
"When I gave birth to Xuewa, my mother also knew that I didn't spend the money in the public to ask for medicine, and I made up for it myself. At that time, Lang Zhong let me eat ginseng, where did I have the money to eat that thing, or the eldest sister bought two taels of hairpins on her head, but unfortunately the eldest sister left early, if the eldest sister is here, we still have a backbone. Cai pulled and wiped his eyes.
Phew, miss my dowry, no way. Cai's heart scolded that she had hidden the money at the bottom of the box given by her mother, in order to have a talent to buy land or do small business to rely on.
"Hmph, even if your eldest sister is alive, Wang Baozhu, a black-hearted seed, can borrow money from us, and his conscience has been eaten by a dog, if he hadn't instigated it, how could your second brother borrow usury. When this matter is over, see why I go to Wang Shanwo to scold. Cai's mention of Wenxiu made Mrs. Chen have to think of Wang Baozhu.
"Now that the family is in trouble, you haven't split up, why don't you go to Da Caizhuang to borrow some money......" Old man Chen gave up his old face.
Cai's maiden family is in Da Cai Village, and there is a sesame oil mill at home, and his life is very prosperous.
"I'm afraid not, my grandfather gave it to my uncle in the sesame oil mill, and I want to borrow money to pass my concubine's level first." Xuewa came smartly.
Cai snickered in his heart. Mrs. Chen was afraid of the Cai family's sister-in-law, when the Cai family gave birth to Xuewa, she lost her body, and Mrs. Chen did not give money to see a doctor, and was severely humiliated by the Cai family's sister-in-law.
Sure enough, when it came to the sister-in-law of the Cai family, Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen were silent.
Chen Xuejiao smiled at Xuewa, Xuewa replied with a grimace, this girl is a clever girl.
Cai looked at Li, and Li pursed his lips silently. Cai's heart is envious of the big house, in the end, life is better, it is better to take this opportunity to share the family.
Chen Xuejiao felt strange in her heart, the old man Chen asked the big room to make money and then asked the third room to make money, but he left the second and fourth rooms alone.
"Grandpa, grandma, why don't you just ask the eldest aunt and my mother how much money they can make, why don't you ask the second aunt and the fourth aunt, I think the second aunt is rich, and the clothes she wears are all satin, didn't my grandmother find a lot of good things from the second aunt's house last time?" Chen Xuewa said innocently with big eyes.
Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but look at Xuewa a few more times, she really underestimated her before.
Zhao shuddered.
Cai's eyes were full of laughter as he looked at Xuewa. Although it is said that the second room will have a feud with the third room, it is much better than letting the third room force to make money.
Zhang was the first to react, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, I just said that the things that my mother searched for from the second sister-in-law's house last time were open, and I don't know how many good things there are in secret." ”
Chen Zichang raised his eyes and looked at the Zhao family, and suddenly reacted, this damn mother-in-law, she is reluctant to get rich, it must be because she hates herself for raising Qingbi, and she can't wait to let herself go to prison. If he hadn't accidentally turned out her box last time, he would probably have been deceived by this mother-in-law's daily crying.
Old Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, as if a person who was swimming in the water had grasped a straw.
"Second daughter-in-law, tell you the truth, how much money do you have there?" Old Mrs. Chen asked coldly. (To be continued......)
