My mother was wearing a tattered military coat, which was still worn by my father when he was alive, the position of the sleeves was worn out, and there were patches in several places, the pants should not be wanted by the second brother, the hems of the trousers were sewn indiscriminately, her neck was tied with a purple scarf, and her messy gray hair, I couldn't help but count it in my heart when I saw it.

She should have some money in her hand, but she only knows that she is reluctant to spend a penny if she leaves it to her second brother.

She was screaming and laughing with people: "It's not! It is much easier for people in the village to enter the city than before, in the past, we could come once and it was the same as the Chinese New Year, but now my daughters live directly in the city! ”

The eldest sister of the stall said: "Wang Qiaozhen is the most profitable in our street, your daughter is promising, so naturally she will not forget you!" ”

I am angry in my heart, these vegetable sellers are the most observant, what does my mother want to do, it is estimated that she will know it early on, but deliberately said so, it is to give me eye medicine, it is estimated that I am jealous that I sold potatoes to make money and deliberately provoked.

As soon as my mother looked up and saw me coming, she hurriedly laughed loudly: "Not really! My girl is not the kind of person who forgets her roots, she has been helping the family, no matter how much money I want, I don't blink my eyelids! ”

Everyone praised me one after another, my aunt and Liang Yan frowned slightly, and gave me a look, Liang Yan shook her head quietly, which means don't tell your mother to make money.

My sister-in-law also looked at me nervously, but I didn't react much. I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, this is to put a high hat on me in advance?

Mom grabbed me at this time and said, "Qiao'er, you're here!" I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"It's cold, isn't it?"

"It's okay, I came in the carriage of the old Zhang family."

I smiled and said, "Come in and warm up, I'll make a stove." ”

Mom smiled and nodded. I opened the door of the stall and let my mother in, and then I started to dig out the ashes of the stove and make a fire, and my mother took off her scarf and looked around, and then she started nagging.

"Since your business has been good, you still don't let your second brother come? I don't think it's better to let him come over in the past two days, he has been saying that his work is not going well, he has been injured, and he broke his wrist a few days ago, and he is resting at home, I think, you are not bad for money now, I will call the shots, let your second brother sit here! Mom smiled and slapped her shoulders as she spoke, with a smug look.

"What else do you want to do?" I laughed.

Mom smiled and said, "You're smart!" Now that people in the village are building houses, I want you to ask for money to go back and get a good house. I don't want much, it's almost enough to have a thousand yuan, and now we can live a small life! ”

I immediately scoffed, gave her a thousand yuan, plus send that dead slacker second brother to me, do you want me to live!

My sister-in-law didn't dare to help me speak, so she went to the noodle box and brought her an orange to eat.

Mom hurriedly held her hand and said a few words to her sister-in-law: "Cailian, I see that your complexion has been much better recently, and the city is a good place to raise people!" When you left like that before, I was still not at ease, for fear that you would have any ideas and think that I was biased towards my daughter-in-law, but you know, your younger brother and sister are pregnant with two, and it is uncomfortable, and I really can't take care of you two. ”

The sister-in-law smiled: "I'm fine, I care about me here, I eat well and sleep well." You don't have to worry anymore. ”

"Then rest assured." Mom laughed.

I started the fire with an old paper shell and put the briquettes in one by one.

Hearing his mother's words, he looked up with a smile: "Mom, are you just talking about caring about your sister-in-law?" Come and see her, you didn't even bring a piece of candy to my sister-in-law, you are really stingy. ”

Mom hurriedly said: "You kid, don't sow discord here, aren't you short of money over there, just help me buy it for your sister-in-law, why is the family in such a hurry!" ”

"Who the hell are you listening to when I say I'm rich? I can't even get the money for the goods here, and I even say that I'm not bad for money? ”

To deal with my mother, you have to block it directly, and there can't be any room for manoeuvre.

Mom smiled and said, "What? You have money and you still hide it with me? Now who in this village doesn't know that you have the ability! Now that your reputation is out, Mom is also proud of you! Now it's a little fun to help you with the second brother. ”

I said, "You let the second brother come, where do you live?" Our little bungalow lives in my sister-in-law, both of whom are reluctant, do you let him sleep in the coal bunker? ”

"You can just rent a house for your second brother, I inquired just now, and there are renters in the neighborhood here."

I stood up suddenly: "Mom, you don't understand me, do you?" I repeat, I don't have any money at all! If you have money, you won't make a few cents here, my sister-in-law and I are struggling to do a small business, and I am about to make ends meet, let alone a thousand yuan, even if it is a hundred yuan, I can't take it out at this time! ”

Mom's brows furrowed, and she said anxiously: "It's time for you to say that you don't have any money!" Liu Ye has said it, if you give that Zhang Yutong a look, it will be three hundred yuan! Are you still here to deceive me? I don't know what's going on, can you hide it from me? ”

I smiled and said, "Mom, you let me lie." That's not my money at all, okay? Think about it, our family loves money so much, can we show it to others casually? The money belonged to the white sister-in-law, because I was fighting with her, and I was not convinced, so I shook it in the hospital, and then returned it to her, I don't believe you ask the white sister-in-law! ”

This matter was really said by Liu Ye, although it was my mother who came out of this matter, but I know that the people behind it are the second brother and the second sister-in-law. Eighty percent is thinking that since I take out 300 in one go, maybe I can take out 3,000 yuan in my hand.

Naturally, my mother didn't believe it, and she began to cry again: "I said Qiao'er, you have to talk about your conscience!" It's not easy for your mother to raise you, you didn't want to marry Yu Hongcai before, and the family owed a famine, so you didn't force you to marry, right? Mom is not the one who took her daughter for a bride price, now that you have a chance, you can't save yourself if you can see death! ”

I said, "I don't even bother to talk about the past!" You really don't want to trade me for money? That's if I don't want to die, it's okay! If it weren't for the fact that I went to cut rice to pay off my second brother's debt, and my sister-in-law asked me to come here to sell vegetables, would you let me go? ”

When my mother heard this, she was immediately angry: "Why is it so hard to talk to you!" In a word, do you give money or not? ”

"I don't have any money! If you don't believe you, if you can find more than fifty on me, I'll give it all to you! "I turned my clothes out and showed them to my mother, anyway, I had deposited the big ones in the bank and treasury bills, and the remaining twenty or so change was for money. It doesn't matter if she snatches them all.

Mom was so angry that she nodded my forehead directly: "Why is your heart so black?" Other people's children know that they have money to help the family, and nothing will work on your side! People say that you have at least three or five thousand in your hand, and letting you take out a thousand yuan is like killing you! ”

I walked to the door and opened it: "Mom! You go and ask the people on this street, can these grocery buyers earn hundreds of dollars a month? I've only been in town for a few days, huh? I didn't go to rob the road, how could I make so much money? Others still say that I have 10,000 a month, do you believe it? ”

Mom didn't move, according to her character, she must have asked before, and generally the vegetable vendors here can earn two hundred yuan after removing the cost.

Mom sneered: "Didn't you make money on potatoes?" Now when potatoes are still two dollars a pound! What don't I know? ”

She also investigated very carefully, and even knew about my potato sales?

I wasn't in a hurry, and said indifferently: "Because my potatoes are expensive, I sell them expensive, I want to sell eight pieces for a piece, isn't it normal for me to sell two pieces?" Otherwise, do you think I'll buy two dollars for a penny? If you don't believe me, go to the vegetable station with me tomorrow and ask how much a pound of potatoes are now. You'll know I'm not lying. ”

Of course I'm lying, but no one knew in advance that I had stored so many potatoes, and that my aunt and Liang Yan were wholesale from me at a cheap price, and I wouldn't say it in front of this person, and my mother naturally wouldn't know.
