Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great House
With Xianglan's big mouth, many people in the village now have Erlang and his wife going to the city to sell food. Li wanted to think more about whether they were making money, so he started talking when Dong Xiaoman went to your sister-in-law's house to learn to make clothes and went home.
"Xiaoman, I heard that you and Erlang went to the city to sell?" Li has an expression of "I'm all right, don't lie to me".
"yes?" Dong Xiaoman's clothes love to ignore it.
"It's back, you don't say you are filial to your father and mother when you make money. The donkey was given to you, but the cart was not given to you! If you want me to say, if you make money, you should have your father's share, and when you split up, you didn't say who the car was for. Li was in a hurry, forgetting what he had thought about to tell her properly.
"What does sister-in-law mean, we still have to give you money?" Dong Xiaoman laughed angrily and glared at Li.
"Don't you have to give it? What you did was sold at a good price, and you don't plan to honor your in-laws, don't you skip words if you don't want others to point at your backbone. Li Zhenzhen has words and feels that what he said is very right.
"If sister-in-law really thinks that she should share your share, then go to Erlang. Our family is Erlang's family, and I don't care. Dong Xiaoman felt that there was no need to continue, and he was too lazy to follow the species.
"That's right, can you still control Erlang with that nest? Hmph, I'm going to talk to Erlang. As soon as he heard Dong Xiaoman's words, Li suddenly felt that it was much more powerful, and he completely disdained to do nothing with someone who was not in the right family.
When Erlang entered the old mansion, he saw such a situation: Dong Xiaoman sat there with a puff of anger, the eldest brother smirked with a shameful face, the father and mother also frowned and did not say anything, and the sister-in-law was there to make a handful of snot and a handful of tears without howling.
Dong Xiaoman saw Erlang coming, and immediately stepped forward to pull Erlang's arm. Erlang glanced down at Dong Xiaoman, the little hand on his arm grabbed him tightly, and it seemed that he was angry again.
Erlang gently patted Dong Xiaoman's hand on his arm, and Dong Xiaoman, who was appeased, suddenly felt better. After the two of them sat down, Li Shi said Erlang, I heard that you went to the city to sell. If you make money, don't you honor your father? You can't let the old people eat well and wear good clothes every day, and let the old people suffer and suffer, right? No less words"
Erlang glanced at Da Lang, did not answer Li's question, and said I think the same way, since the family is divided, it will be given to the family every month. No, if the eldest brother wants to give his father and mother, I will give as much as you give. ”
Li was stunned for a moment, and brought up the matter for the family. I said in a hurry, I mean, you used the donkey cart at home because the family made a contribution. Naturally, you have to share the money, but you can tell me how much money you make? ”
Erlang looked directly at the Li family, how much do you want? ”
Li Shi looked at Erlang's terrifying expression, began to drum in his heart, lowered his head and whispered I am for the good of my in-laws, you said as if I wanted it. ”
Erlang turned his head to look at Old Man Zhang, frowning, what does his father mean? ”
Old man Zhang said give it, you just lent the car to outsiders and didn't say anything about the money. Are you crazy and thinking about those useless all day long! ”
Li didn't dare to speak, lowered his head and continued to pretend to be transparent.
Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth and said, Erlang, are you going to tell me what you are doing in the city? Sell it well? ”
Erlang looked at his mother and said softly, It's the Jiang rice noodles that I gave you the day before yesterday, let's sell a few pennies to subsidize the family. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately turned blue, pointed at Dong Xiaoman's nose and scolded, I am your non-stop troublemaker, but you have a good life, sell? You kidnapped me to hunt and I didn't care about you, but you said that you would suffer that sin? How much money can you make from that thing? ”
Without waiting for Dong Xiaoman to explain, Mrs. Zhang continued to scold you for being a woman, and you also learned from others to shout and buy and sell on the street. Are you looking ugly for me, do you still know how to keep women's morality? Your mother is also a maid from a good family, and she taught you to be such an ignorant evil spirit? ”
Dong Xiaoman is not a bun, you can scold me, but you can't say that my mother is not. You obviously don't have anything to do, but you want to refute it at the moment, but you are pulled by Erlang.
Dong Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to throw his face and leave, he suddenly understood. Mother-in-law admonished, if you have a head-on conflict, it is justified and unreasonable. At this time, it is best to come forward to solve it, anyway, the mother-in-law in this era is right, as long as you are not convinced, it is not filial.
Erlang frowned and said, Niang, who are you listening to chew on the root of your tongue? ”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Li Shi and said angrily, who said it, is this true? You still protect this without a lot of words? It's really married and forgotten your mother, do you still have me in your heart? ”
Erlang lowered his head and said in a muffled voice I have liked hunting since I was a child, and I learned from my father-in-law, do you have any skills? Besides, it was my idea to do business, and I asked her to cook food and we went to the city to sell it. ”
Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it, and pouted and said, "Are you short of money?" If you don't sell the food at home, what do you want money for? ”
After speaking, he glared at Dong Xiaoman and said, You are newly married and have just broken up, and you don't know how to live, so it is better for you to give me the money in your hand. I saved it for you, and you all of you in the province can't praise it, and you have to go outside to beg for a living. ”
As soon as these words came out, let alone Erlang and Dong Xiaoman, everyone else was stunned. Old man Zhang reprimanded him for talking nonsense? is all separated, and this one is the same, can you let the children live a good life? ”
Mrs. Zhang was yelled at like this, and she was immediately aggrieved, I am not for their good, I have big fish and meat every day. Look at us, is there no shortage of money? ”
Erlang was anxious, stared at his neck and said We won't be able to live well, if you don't find trouble every day, we can live better. ”
Li sharpened his voice and added fuel and vinegar to the vinegar and said, listen, listen, this is polite. "After speaking, I glanced at Dong Xiaoman Erlang who was not like this before, but now he is dead?"
Erlang snorted coldly? Hmph, although our fields are all medium, who can guarantee a good harvest next year? Our small family can't compare to you, and next year's harvest is not good, and the grain is sold again, so you let us eat tree bark? ”
After speaking, he said to Mrs. Zhang, we just want to rebuild a house to make money, and you will buy such a broken house with that little silver, and use up the money of the family. Now the house is leaking rain in the east and wind in the west, what can you imagine? Can we still spend Xiaoman's dowry every day? "After speaking, looking at Li Xiaoman's dowry, it also cost seventy-seven eighty-eight, but the sister-in-law's dowry was used by the family?"
Li blurted out what to do, that's my money. After finishing speaking, he was stunned, looked at the contemptuous eyes of everyone, and muttered, Where do I have money, I married in so many years to subsidize my family."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhang was not happy to fart, when did I let you spend money? ”
Li once again shrunk his neck and remained silent, continuing to be an invisible man.
Erlang looked at his parents and said, We don't want to owe more to our parents, I don't complain if you give as much as you want. It's just that Xiaoman has never suffered hardship, and now that she has to show up to make money with me, I'm enough to be sorry for her. Please let her go, if you want to do it, just look for me, she doesn't care. ”
Dong Xiaoman was very moved to listen to it, and Erlang stood in front of him at a critical time to shield him from the wind and rain. When there is a conflict in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, standing on this side is very good.
"You want to build a house?" Old Man Zhang asked the point, frowned and calculated, this house is not good without five or six taels. If you want to build something better, you can't do it without seven or eight taels, I think the village chief's house cost eight taels of silver the year before last. ”
Mrs. Zhang was also distressed and said that the house should not be in a hurry, if it really doesn't work, make up for it first. When the harvest is good next year, it will be enough to save for two or three years. ”
At this time, Li Shi came up with another sentence: How much money have you saved now? When Da Lang heard this, he immediately reprimanded: What do you care about so many people's lives? Why, do you still want to pay for it? ”
Li pursed his lips and said in a loud voice that he couldn't ask yet, I'll just help them do the math. Well, I'll do the math. When the family was separated, it was six taels of silver, and it only cost two taels of silver to buy a house, and if you clean up the house, you will have three taels of silver left. You only sold three taels of grain last time, so it's only six taels. Oh, I really didn't see that you could build a house too! ”
Dong Xiaoman snorted coldly and said that my sister-in-law calculated very clearly, and she didn't calculate the things we wanted to buy when we split up, and the money we would spend. There is no need to calculate the chewing for the next year? If you continue to calculate it like this, the sister-in-law will need ten taels in her pocket. He's still a rich man. ”
Li immediately covered his mouth and shouted, where is the money, the grain was only sold for five taels of silver. When the family was divided, there was no money, and they all said that they would give their uncle a fame test. ”
Dong Xiaoman didn't say anything, and glanced at Erlang. Erlang said at the moment, Daddy, we earn money when the two of us build a house. You don't have to worry about it, I'll send the donkey cart in a moment. ”
Without waiting for Old Man Zhang to speak, Da Lang jumped up and waved his hand and said, Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, she is so virtuous. If you use it, we can use it, and how can we use a car as a family. ”
Li muttered that I still want to go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and I still want to use the car. ”
Da Lang glared back at her, and Li shut up. Erlang smiled and patted Da Lang's shoulder, and said, Big brother, we don't need it, and we don't go to the city every day. Besides, I also asked someone to get me a car, which will be convenient for use in the future. ”
Mrs. Zhang was surprised, what? Taxi? Not to mention the wood, even the craftsmanship costs at least one or two silver. ”
Erlang nodded Yes, a car cost us three taels of silver. When it comes to building a house, you really have to find a way to make money. ”
On the way, Erlang persuaded Dong Xiaomandao Now we have five taels in our hands, don't worry, I want to find a way. Strive to open a village and build you a house. ”
It doesn't matter if Dong Xiaoman holds Erlang's hand, I'm not in a hurry. If we want to build a house, we will build a big house in one go. ”
Erlang held Dong Xiaoman's hand and said softly, Okay, I promise you a big house. ”
