"Mother is right, the marriage of the fourth brother is a big deal, this grain should be sold, and let the head of the family take it to the town tomorrow and sell it at a good price." Zhang echoed.

"Sister-in-law, this is not good, how can the eldest brother take so much food alone, let Li Gui also go and help the eldest brother, and when the time comes, you can sell it at a good price if you run a few more." The Zhao family is not to be outdone, how can the benefits be accounted for by the big house, how can she share some.

"Brother and sister, your eldest brother is enough alone, I will go when the time comes, I will definitely finish it, and the second brother has been working hard these days or resting at home." Zhang gritted his teeth and said.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, my body can hold on, I'll go with my eldest brother tomorrow, how bad it is that you go out with a woman when you go out." Li Gui smiled maliciously at Zhang.

"Isn't that still your big brother?"

Lin Xue watched coldly, she knew very well what these people had to do, but she didn't look down on the money, as long as they didn't hit her with their ideas.

"Okay, don't make any noise, tomorrow all four of you brothers will go, ask a few more to see if the price is high, and then sell it." Old Man Li knocked his pipe on the edge of the kang and put it aside.

Wang waved his hand and said impatiently, "Okay, let's all go out, so many people are upset when they look at it," and instructed Zhang, "Go and cook the rice, remember to put less rice, and if it's not enough, get more wild vegetables." ”

Lin Xue went back to her room, Yunyun was already asleep, Feng'er was guarding on the side, Lin Xue walked over and hugged Feng'er to bed, "Feng'er, you also go up to sleep, I'm tired today, I'll have dinner for a day, and my mother will call you." ”

"Mother, I'm not tired, I'm not too busy today." Li Feng shook his head stubbornly.

Lin Xue hugged Li Feng distressedly, the six-year-old child was about to work in the field, "Feng'er, do you want to go to school?" ”

Li Feng nodded and shook his head, "Yes, but the family doesn't have so much money, and grandpa said that he can only provide for the eldest brother to study alone." The more he talked, the lower his head became, and finally he lay in Lin Xue's arms.

Li Cheng is the son of Li Fu, sixteen years old this year, going to school in the town's school, the old man of the Li family gritted his teeth and sold two acres of land to send Li Cheng to study, just hoping to be an official and glorify his ancestors, but in Lin Xue's memory, this Li Cheng did not study seriously, and she saw Li Cheng skipping school to play several times, but the people of the Li family did not know.

Lin Xue never intended to let Old Man Li pay for it, so she turned around and walked out of the house to find Li Qidao, who was chopping firewood, "Boss, I want Feng'er to go to school, he is six years old and will not accept it if he delays his master." "The school has a rule that children over the age of seven will not be admitted unless they are highly talented.

Li Qi threw away the axe in his hand, "Mother won't agree, and neither will Dad...... And the family doesn't have extra money to let Feng'er go to school, or wait, anyway, there is still a year to go. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Feng's eyes that followed him, and he silently returned to the house. Lin Xue felt pantothenic acid in her heart, why did such a sensible child have to suffer like this, "We can't earn our own money for Feng'er to study." ”

"Xiaoxue, all the money we earn now has to be handed over to our mother, how to spend it is my father's final say, we get five taels of silver a year to go to school, and our family can't afford two students at all." Li Qi told the truth, he also wanted to send Feng'er to study, but his father didn't agree at all, even if he made money, he would subsidize Li Cheng.

"Yo, brother and sister, you don't go to work, you come here to be lazy, why did you bump into your body and become expensive." Zhang's mocking voice sounded from behind.

Lin Xue turned around, "No, I just talked to the head of the house about something, sister-in-law, didn't my mother let you cook, why didn't you run out." ”

"Hmph, it's not your turn to instruct me, go wash the dishes, I don't have to do any work at home and still want to eat, I want to be beautiful." Zhang turned into the kitchen, took out the vegetable basin and threw it in front of Lin Xue.

"Sister-in-law, don't drop the pot if you're not happy, my mother will let you cook, if you don't want me to cook for you." Zhao shouted at the top of his voice.

The old lady Wang in the upper room heard the voice, opened the window and looked at it, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you mean to have a temper at me, what are you doing with the beatings?" ”

Zhao squeezed out a smile, "Mother, it's not like I didn't hold it steady, you keep resting on me, this meal will be ready immediately." He glared at Lin Xue and Zhao again, picked up the vegetable basin and washed it himself.

"Let's go brother and sister, go to my house and let's chat." Zhao took Lin Xue to the West House, and as soon as she entered the house, Lin Xue smelled a strange smell, the quilt on the bed was not folded, dirty clothes and smelly socks were piled up in a corner of the room, and several children were also dirty.

"Third aunt, I want to eat sugar." When several children saw Lin Xue coming in, they pounced up, Lin Xue blocked it with her hand, and took out a few maltose from her arms, which was given to Yunyun by her sister-in-law when she went back to her parents' house last time.

"Brother and sister, how embarrassing this is, it's just that your family is rich and can afford candy." Zhao Shi was polite, and there was a sour feeling in his words.

Lin Xue smiled and changed the topic, "Second sister-in-law, what are you looking for me!" ”

"It's nothing, you don't have any idea about selling grain tomorrow for your brother and sister." Zhao looked out the window and said in a low voice.

Lin Xue understood a little, pretending to be stupid and said, "What's there to think about, just sell it." ”

"Why are you so honest." Zhao hated iron and steel, "This grain is shared by everyone, just because of the marriage of the fourth child, the grain will be sold, and the family will not be able to eat enough in the future, so you have to think about the two children if you don't think about yourself!" ”

"Second sister-in-law, this is my father's decision, what can we do." Lin Xue asked tentatively, not knowing what idea this Zhao clan wanted to fight.

"Brother and sister, when we sell grain tomorrow, we can sell it separately, and when the time comes, we can sell more and sell less, but we will depend on our ability."

This Zhao family really has a lot of eyes, and even if it is sold less, no one will know, "Second sister-in-law, this is not good, after all, it is used by the fourth brother to get married." ”

"He has the ability, marrying a daughter-in-law requires so much dowry, and he has the ability to earn it himself, so he wants the family to follow him to drink the northwest wind." Zhao didn't care, and it wasn't her son marrying a daughter-in-law, "Brother and sister, if you think it's okay, you will let the third brother follow us tomorrow, but half of the money will be shared with you." ”

"Second sister-in-law, I'd better go back and discuss with the child's father, I can't be the master of this matter." Lin Xue snorted haha.

"That's okay, you go back to discuss, but you can't let others know about your brother and sister, otherwise you'll ......" Zhao stared at Lin Xue stunned.

"No, no." Lin Xue promised that even if she said that the old lady would not be grateful to her, maybe she would be scolded, and she would not do thankless work.
