Chapter Forty-Eight
The Chen family was in a good mood because Liu Zhen had cleaned up the two daughters-in-law for himself, and he saw that the two daughters-in-law were also picking their noses and eyes, which made the Ma family and the Huang family very unhappy, but Liu Zhen, who was sitting in the God of Wealth, was here to weigh it, and he had to weigh it first.
Chen's rare mood is very good, and he is finally freed from cooking and laundry all day long, and only hopes that Liu Zhen can come back often to see it, so that he can help him take the two daughters-in-law to death. And the Ma family and the Huang family could only hope that Liu Zhen would return to her mother-in-law's house soon, but after Liu Zhen got into trouble with her mother-in-law again and again, no matter how she could live for five or six days, her uncle asked her to bring a letter over and take Liu Zhen home.
Liu Zhen put on a picture of an overcomer, and took the two children into the carriage and returned to the city. Ma and Huang look down on Liu Zhen in their hearts, Liu Zhen is so proud that he is not pointing to the two children, Liu Zhen's mother-in-law doesn't miss her grandson, so she won't let her uncle take Liu Zhen home?
Liu Zhen understands it in his heart, but in front of his mother's family, he will not show half of this affection, but a picture of the momentum of knocking his mother-in-law down.
The Chen family often praised Liu Zhenduo's ability, and pinched the mother-in-law in the city to death, which was much stronger than himself. When Liu Zhen came back this time, the Chen family had to put the shelf in front of the daughters-in-law.
Liu Mei and Liu Mei are envious of their aunt in their hearts, not only can they marry into a rich family in the city, but they can also gain a firm foothold in their mother-in-law's house, and their mother-in-law has to give her three points of courtesy, and if she marries into the city by relying on her aunt in the future, she will also have a good life. Therefore, Liu Mei and Liu Mei, who have always been arrogant, tried their best to tie up with Liu Zhen's aunt.
When the second and third rooms returned to their homes in the evening, Liu Zhen and Chen pulled Father Liu to discuss things. Chen's face was aggrieved, and his eyes were red: "Old man, seeing that we are all old, we are two old people with ten acres of land at home, and it is really laborious to plant."
I'm not worried about anything else, I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear it, and when the time comes, there will be a headache and brain fever, and I don't know who of the three sons wants to take care of us. Dafang and I don't deal with each other, so I can't count on it.
Today I have been talking to Zhen'er for a long time, and my heart is even more bottomless, the son in the second and third rooms is good, but you have also seen the two daughters-in-law, and they don't care if we live or die.
At most, it's just a face-saving affair, and now I regret it, regretting why I fell in love with these two women. In addition to the dowry, the others are not good at all, and the farm work is not as good as other people's daughters-in-law, and the mouth is at stake, so she will pinch me as a mother-in-law. ”
When Daddy Liu heard this, he also felt that what the old woman said was indeed reasonable, and his heart was also cold, he gave birth to three sons, but when it came to being old, he could take care of his own food and drink, and he really didn't take any of them.
The eldest side must not care about himself because of the second room and the third room and the Chen family, and the daughter-in-law of the second and third children is out of tune at first glance, and they don't know if they serve themselves or serve them themselves when they are old?
In the past, Chen rarely said that the two rooms and three rooms were not, but today it is rare to tell the truth, it seems that as soon as Liu Zhen came back, Chen immediately had a reliance in his heart, and he could see clearly who was good to her and who was not good to her.
Everyone is pitiful when they are old, and they don't blame Chen for worrying, in fact, he has thought about this matter in private, but this matter is not what you want to do, it depends on your life!
"Old woman, what you said is, so let's take care of ourselves now, don't always make up for the second and third children, we have to save some pension money, otherwise we won't be able to move when we are old, and it is estimated that we will have to wait for death." Don't be too upset, it's good that my body is still stiff now, and it's no problem to do it for a few more years. ”
Chen and Liu Zhen looked at each other, the heat was almost over, and it was time to order: "Old man, this big house has been in the past few years, it is getting better and better year by year, the eldest girl has also booked a good family, and the little girl is a capable person, the third child is studying in the village school, and I heard that he is very talented."
This big house will be better than the second and third rooms in the future, but I will be a burden to you, otherwise the big house may be better for you. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Father Liu, and saw that he frowned and said nothing, Bacheng himself said that he was in his heart, this old man Liu really thinks so, he can still affect his people in the end, thinking about Chen's toothache, but today is not the time to fight for this short time.
Chen then said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I heard from the people in the village that Dafang wanted to buy a few pieces of land, so I thought that we have seven acres of land in our hands, and we are also old, so we may not be able to plant it in two years."
Why don't you take out four acres and sell them to the big house! I don't point to how much money the big house has, but to the food they will provide for us every year in the future, so that when we are old, we will have a guarantee, and we can sell it for some other people's things when we can't finish eating.
Besides, the land we sold to Dafang is also good land, don't think I won't sell it? I also thought that when the family was divided, the big house was divided into three pieces of land, and now they have the potential, and they can have the money to buy the land, I want to sell our five acres of good land to the big house, so it can be regarded as a favor for the big house! ”
It was rare for Daddy Liu to hear Chen talk about the big house, and he didn't have any scolding words, he just listened to the words that were pleasing to his ears. However, Chen's idea is really good, and he doesn't know the bottom line when he sells the land, and if he buys a bad land, he won't lose anything.
Some of the land looks good, but if the terrain is not good, it will be flooded if it rains heavily, so that the harvest of the year is not all gone, but half of it is lost. The acres and acres of your own land are all good land, don't you blow these acres of land by yourself are really priceless? I don't know how many people in the village are red-eyed?
Since the Chen family is willing to sell the big house well, he is naturally happy, if the big house really sells his land, the big house will definitely be grateful to himself in the future. The boss is still soft-hearted, more real than the second and third children, and when he is really old, he can let the big house take care of it, at least there is a bowl of rice to eat.
The more Daddy Liu thought about it, the more he felt that Chen's idea this time was really good, and he was in a hurry, so he wanted to tell Dafang about it immediately, so that it could be settled, so that Dafang could buy someone else's land.
Liu Zhen sat on the side and saw his father's happy look, and knew that his father must have been moved, so he added fire to the side: "Dad, let me tell you, if this thing is really done, the eldest brother will have to respect you more in the future, and you will be able to speak in the big room in the future, and you don't have to let the Zhang family come back again and again."
Such a good thing can't be found with a lantern, and the eldest brother is not happy to hear it, and the Zhang family is also a grandson to tie up with you. ”
As soon as Liu Zhen said this, Father Liu was even more adamant that this matter was indeed good, and he hurriedly got up and said: "I'm just talking to Dafang about this, if I save Dafang, if I buy someone else's land, won't I suffer in vain?" ”
Chen and Liu Zhen nodded hurriedly, and Father Liu happily took the dry tobacco to Dafang's house. Liu Zhen and Chen in the back both looked at each other and smiled, what should I do if I look at Zhang's now? Chen listens to Liu Zhen's words now, the daughter is sincerely for her own good, not like the two daughters-in-law who deliberately let themselves be tired to death, so as soon as Liu Zhen mentioned this matter, Chen immediately agreed.
On the surface, it seems that the big house took advantage of it, but it is impossible for the big house to buy his own land with a tael of silver, and it is not up to him to decide how much rations he will provide each year.
If the Zhang family doesn't want to give it at that time, the saliva of the people in the village will not drown her, and the second and third rooms will also get into trouble with her, so the Zhang family will have to be in a dilemma, and he has to pay food to himself every year, and he will be a rent collector.
Daddy Liu's late-night visit surprised Liu Zhu's family, but Liu Yue felt that it must be no good thing, and it was a good thing that Daddy Liu would not find his home, let alone come over in the middle of the night. The Chen family wishes that their family is not doing well, and what is Daddy Liu going to do, will the Chen family not know?
It just so happened that my best aunt had returned to her parents' house again, and it would be good if Chen and Liu Zhen were together without wanting to harm their own family, so it was definitely not a good thing for Daddy Liu to come.
Liu Zhu lightly asked Daddy Liu to sit on the kang, Zhang was busy asking Liu Yue to pour tea, and he took out the melon seeds at home and let Daddy Liu eat them. Daddy Liu also knows that the big house is doing well now, but these two or three plates of dry goods and the two bright lights in the house still make Daddy Liu feel uncomfortable.
The big house is too unfilial, the life is so good, I don't know how to be more filial to myself, and help more with the second and third rooms, I know that I live a good life for my family, and I am too selfish, and I don't talk about brotherhood at all.
The unhappiness on Daddy Liu's face naturally fell into the eyes of the two sisters Zhang and Liu Yue, because Liu Fang had to do embroidery work every day, so Zhang asked the two daughters to light the lamp in the main room at night to do embroidery work, one room to light a lamp is too dark, and the lights on both sides can be brighter www.biquge.info a fun pavilion.
Liu Fang was still sitting on the side embroidering the work in her hands, she didn't bother to look at Daddy Liu, and she didn't see any grandfather like this, and she didn't even come to see her granddaughter's engagement, didn't she deliberately make herself embarrassed?
Since you made me faceless, I don't need to give you face, so from the time Daddy Liu entered the door to the present, Liu Fang didn't raise his head.
Father Liu also saw that the big house was not waiting to see him, and when he thought of Chen's suggestion, his heart was much more relaxed, and you should know how to thank me for being a grandfather.
Daddy Liu took a puff of dry tobacco, and then said slowly: "Boss, I heard that your family is looking for someone to buy land?" "Liu Zhu didn't expect Daddy Liu to come over to ask about this, everyone in the village knows that Daddy Liu doesn't know, so it's strange?
nodded: "Dad, yes, you also know that our children are all older, and the original three acres of land to grow grain is not enough for the family to eat, and the harvest has to be halved if it is a good year, and the family has to rely on buying food for half a year."
I thought it would be better to buy a few acres of land, how to solve the family's rations, and also a little more, this Cheng'er will go to school in the town tomorrow, this cost is scary to think about, Fang'er will get married in a few months, and the cost of this family is too big. ”
