After Chen's trouble, the original 20% also became a hundred yuan, so the Zhang family was secretly happy, looking at his son who was eating his hands on the bed, and his face showed love: "Don't worry!

Mother will not let those people take advantage of our family, mother wants to save more money for you to go to school, but you can't be like your father who can't read half of the big words. My mother is still waiting for you to become a big official in high school and win glory for your mother and father? can also protect your two sisters from being bullied by your in-laws. ”

I don't know if Liu Cheng on the bed understands Zhang's words, but he actually listens to Zhang's words carefully, and he is not noisy. Zhang's kissed his son's little face, with a proud face: "Sure enough, he is a good son of his mother, and he is sensible." ”

Liu Zhu came back from work in the evening, and learned about today's events from the two daughters, Liu Zhu looked at the two daughters with a happy face, and felt even more guilty. The two daughters must have endured a lot of Chen's family, and now they breathe a sigh of relief, and they are actually happy to be like this, it is really embarrassing for Zhang's family. Chen's spilling kung fu has been taught by himself, and he doesn't dare to provoke her, but Zhang's is even more amazing than Chen's.

The family happily had dinner, and Zhang and Liu Yue even dreamed at night with a smile? Because the New Year is about to end, it stands to reason that Zhang's family has to send New Year's gifts to his mother's family, and in previous years, he could only send some eggs and chickens, which are also the eggs that Zhang's has saved for several months.

Because the family really can't come up with money to buy New Year's gifts, they can only give things they have. But thinking of the two sisters-in-law of the mother's family, they don't even want to give eggs to Zhang's family, and every year when they go to give New Year's gifts, the two sisters-in-law will excuse themselves and the two children to show their faces. Isn't it just that the New Year's gifts you give are too few and are not worth it?

People say that their mother is close to their daughter, but their own mother will also count down their own unproductiveness, and they have never added anything to their mother's family, and they have sent a few eggs to take out. It's really a waste of time, and sure enough, the daughter is losing money, and Zhang's was so counted by his own mother, so he naturally shed tears, and pulled the two children without even drinking saliva, so he went home.

It can be said that the Zhang family has been married for so long, and he has never eaten a mouthful of food from his mother's family and drank a mouthful of water from his mother's family. I gave birth to Liu Fang and Liu Yue's mother's family, and I never sent a piece of clothing or an egg. finally looked forward to Liu Cheng, but his mother's family didn't know, Liu Zhu went to report the good news, but half of his mother's family didn't come, let alone look at himself, and he didn't even bring back a message.

Thinking of these, the Zhang family shed tears again, if it wasn't for the fact that her mother was too ruthless and didn't give herself a dowry at all, she had to marry Liu Zhu. Think about the sisters in the same village, but if the family gives a little dowry, which one is not married with a beautiful scenery and dignity, and will not suffer so much as himself.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable Zhang's heart became, but if I didn't give a gift this year, I had to give it, otherwise my sister-in-law would only say something even more ugly.

But there were no eggs saved this year, and Zhang was persuaded by Yue'er to eat one every day, for fear that there would be no milk to feed Liu Cheng, and the chickens would have fewer eggs in winter.

So it's impossible to send eggs as a New Year's gift, Zhang thought that Liu Zhu's wages had been saved in the past two months, whether he was going to buy some fabrics or something, which would be better. But thinking that the two sisters Liu Yue and Liu Fang didn't add half a piece of clothing, this was somewhat unbearable, but when they thought of their mother's two sisters-in-law, they could only grit their teeth.

Early in the morning, Zhang tried to say to Liu Zhu: "His father, seeing that he has to give a New Year's gift to my mother's family, Liu Cheng didn't save eggs this year." Or if you buy a few catties of meat at night and come back, and then buy a few fish back, you can take it and give it away. Look at it! ”

Zhang was still a little afraid that Liu Zhu would not agree, to say that his mother's family had never given Liu Zhu a good face, since he got married, he has not left Liu Zhu to eat a mouthful of food, and he always has a cold face on Liu Zhu, although Liu Zhu never said it, but he saw that Liu Zhu was despised, and he still couldn't help it. So I'm afraid that Liu Zhu is unwilling to spend money on this New Year's gift, and his heart is furious.

Liu Zhu nodded, looked at Zhang honestly and said, "Don't add another piece of cloth!" You can also make a dress for the family, you have followed me all these years, and have never sent anything valuable to my mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law, this year it is rare for us to have some in our hands, so it is better to send a piece of cloth! ”

Zhang looked at Liu Zhu, and suddenly there were tears in his eyes, his own man is good-hearted, understands his suffering, although he didn't live a good life with him, but he also knows cold and hot, and he didn't live in vain!

Liu Zhu was a little anxious when he saw Zhang's tears, but the villagers didn't know how to coax people, so they could only help Zhang's wipe away their tears and said: "Don't cry, our family's life will be better, don't worry!" Zhang nodded, feeling much more comfortable.

In addition to taking care of his son during the day, Zhang was busy with the two sisters Liu Fang and Liu Yue in the wasteland in the backyard, and after renovating these days, he finally had some appearance, and then turned over a few times and then applied some fertilizer, and when the spring was just right, he could plant, and then the family would have vegetables to eat, and he didn't just need to point to the grain of those few acres of land, but also had more other income.

Liu Yue is busy picking up fertilizer everywhere every day, and this rural person can see that he is fat, so if he wants to be more fertile in the field, he has to pick up fertilizer everywhere. Liu Fang was a little reluctant to see her sister actively being her sister, but Liu Yue said that she didn't know how to do other work, and picking up fat was the most suitable for herself.

This is to take a basket and a stick, pick up the pig manure that has fallen on the ground and put it in the basket. Many people don't want to do this work, first of all, it's too dirty, but it's actually too humiliating. But Liu Yue didn't care what others thought, she was wholeheartedly and seriously picking up fat, and people in the village said that Liu Yue was sensible and would help the family do things at such a young age, and the Zhang family was really blessed.

In the evening, Liu Zhu brought back three catties of pork and two big fish, as well as a cyan cloth, this color cloth can be made into clothes for the whole family, regardless of men, women and young and old, Zhang glanced at Liu Zhu with satisfaction. Liu Fang saw that the family had bought so many things, so she wanted to ask, so Zhang said with an embarrassed face: "It was sent to your grandmother's house, this is a New Year's gift, and when the family has surplus money next year, my mother will definitely help you and Yue'er tear the cloth to make new clothes." ”

Liu Fang knew that it was definitely not for her own family, and then she thought about her grandmother being a little colder. Liu Fang is older, and how her grandmother and two uncles and mothers are treating her own family, Liu Fang can see it clearly.

I always followed Zhang's family back to my parents' house happily, but I always saw my aunts and uncles with contempt, and my grandmother's cold face and contempt. Liu Fang didn't like her grandmother and two aunts from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't want to give them away. But it's a New Year's gift, every year, everybody. Besides, my father bought it back, so he must send it over.

Zhang looked at Liu Fang's unhappy face, he understood what the child was thinking, and he didn't blame the child for being unhappy, and he was not happy to look at these things. But no matter what, this gift is exhausted, and there is no such thing as a married daughter not giving gifts to her mother's family, so she has to give it if she doesn't want to.

Liu Yue took Zhang's hand and looked at the things on the table: "Mother, will you deliver it tomorrow?" Yue'er doesn't want to go, Yue'er has no food to eat every time she goes, and she has to come back hungry, don't take Yue'er with her, Yue'er is at home with her little brother! ”

Zhang touched Yue'er's head helplessly: "Don't worry! This time, let the people from the same village go over a little, your Aunt Li's mother's house and your grandmother's house are not far away, just let Aunt Li go a little tomorrow! Mother can't leave Yue'er and Cheng'er at home. ”

Zhang looked at Yue'er and the eldest daughter, and felt a little colder towards his mother's family, he originally wanted Liu Zhu to send it, but Liu Zhu still had to go to work tomorrow, and he didn't bother to send it. dragged the two children back hungry again, and the thought of this made my heart feel cold. What kind of mother's house is this!

At night, Liu Zhu slept on the bed full of distress and comforted Zhang: "Mother, don't think too much, let's just live our own life." Yue'er and Fang'er are not sensible, don't take it to heart, I understand your suffering. ”

Zhang held back tears and hoarse: "His father, I understand, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable." Thinking about letting my two children go with me every year, they all come back hungry, and I feel distressed to death. It's better to let Aunt Li send it, which will save a lot of trouble. ”

Liu Zhu sighed, understood what Zhang said angrily, and only blamed himself for not having the strength over the years, not only did he not let Zhang and his two daughters live a good life, but it became more and more difficult year by year. In the future, we must not let the Zhang family be so aggrieved.

In the morning, watching Aunt Li with her two sons, riding in an ox cart, with the New Year's gift prepared for her mother's family, Zhang's heart was even more uncomfortable. Don't look at Aunt Li's preparations, but they are all home-grown things, but the mother's family doesn't dislike them at all. It must be Zhang Luo who left Aunt Li and the child for three days before coming back, every year.

And when Aunt Li came back from her parents' house, she would bring a return gift from her mother's family, which was also full of a large car. I also send it every year, although it is not much, but my mother's family has not even returned a leaf, fortunately Liu Zhu does not care, otherwise this day will be even more sad.

In the past, Zhang's mother talked to his mother once, and his mother scolded Zhang's black heart, wanting to eat the two poor big brothers, how much rice does it cost to eat for three days! Zhang Shichao thought that the cooler his heart was, how could he meet such a mother-in-law, and then meet such a mother-in-law?

Seeing Zhang's uncomfortable look, Liu Fang and Liu Yue were also uncomfortable, and when Zhang's returned, Liu Yue took Zhang's hand, and her little face was all serious: "Mother, let's live a good life as a family in the future, don't care about anything else, just care about our own life." "Zhang's pulled two daughters, and his eyes were full of three children, forget it, three children are so sensible, better than anything else.

Sure enough, when Aunt Li came back from her parents' house with the child and a large cart of things, Zhang's mother's family didn't return half a gift. However, she brought a sentence, and although Aunt Li sympathized with Zhang's for a long time, she couldn't bring it or not, so she still pulled Zhang's and said: "Your mother said that she wants to celebrate her sixtieth birthday next year, and she wants you to give her a pair of gold earrings." Make a new life clothes, and there will be nothing else for you to do. ”

Zhang stayed for a while, and immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, but this laugh was more uncomfortable than crying. Aunt Li understands Zhang's difficulties, not to mention the gold, she can't even take out the silver, how can this make Zhang's good?

But at this time, he couldn't comfort the Zhang family by saying anything, because this mother's family was cold, and it was not something that he could comfort with a few words. Zhang's family is really pitiful, his mother's family is ruthless, and his mother-in-law is even more shameless when he encounters Chen's family, so it's no wonder that Zhang's life is difficult, and people can't stand it.
