When Shen Qingqing returned home, the first thing he did was to count how many silver taels were left in the house.

She took out the silver taels wrapped in a white embroidered handkerchief and put them on the table very solemnly.

Shen Qingqing took the copper plates one by one in his hand: "One hundred and seven, one hundred and eight ......"

In the end, there are a total of seven taels of silver, which may not be much for a large family, but it is not a minority for a farmer like Shen Qingqing.

Xiao Douding opened his mouth and asked, "Mother, what are you going to do with these silver taels?" ”

Shen Qingqing just wanted to speak, Xiao Douding's arm was forced, and suddenly there was a hula sound, and the strength of the two people was light, and they saw that the table that had broken a leg was completely scrapped.

Shen Qingqing touched her forehead, very helpless: "Yes, I have found a use for these silver taels." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Not only this table, but the stool in the house is wobbly missing steel bars, the enamel bowl is missing, and the cabinet has long been bitten out of large and small holes by mice, and urine stains have been soaked in it for many years, and as soon as it is opened, there is a commotion. Taste.

Most of the guys should be changed, and Shen Qingqing didn't ink, and directly pulled Xiaodouding to the building materials market above the market.

Since it is not a bazaar, there are not many people in the building materials market, so two people can walk slowly.

This guy is a delicate job, and it takes a long time to spend a sum of money, and Shen Qingqing is not in a hurry, and he makes up his mind after asking all the things.

The boss is an honest-looking man who has always been accompanied by a smile.

"Boss, how much do you have to do all this?" Two hours later, Shen Qingqing picked out a black lacquered elm table, four carved stools, and a red lacquered double phoenix cabinet, and the dishes and chopsticks in the house were all changed by the way.

The boss was holding an abacus in the back, which was a big business, and he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled: "Sister, I see that you are also a real person, so I won't pull with you, these are a total of four or five dollars." ”

"Four, two, five?" Shen Qingqing's mouth was chattering, her eyes looked left and right, she didn't think it was expensive, but she always felt that there was something less.

The boss thought she was going to bargain: "Sister, don't look at my small shop, but the quality is very good, especially the guys you picked, ten or twenty years only work, and come to me if they are broken." ”

"Boss, how did you sell this thing?"

Shen Qingqing pointed to a dressing cabinet, the dressing mirror was brownish-red, the small cabinet and small drawers below were neat, and the back of the mirror above was gilded, which was very exquisite.

Shen Qingqing has always felt that there is a lack of something in the house, and after thinking about it, isn't it just a lack of a guy who can hold up the façade!

The boss patted his thigh: "Oh girl, your vision is really good, this mirror is very delicate, and it can be used as a family heirloom." ”

"How much does this mirror cost?"

"This mirror will give you one tael, a total of five taels and five dollars."

Shen Qingqing touched the mirror, and it felt really good: "It's cheaper, five taels and two dollars." ”

In the end, Shen Qingqing bought these guys for five taels or three dollars, and this boss was also real, and he sent them directly to his home, and Shen Qingqing of the province tossed trouble back and forth.

Forget it, in addition to the turnover in the last two or three months, there is still money in his hand, this money is not spent or earned, and it is also dead money in his hand, Shen Qingqing watched Xiaodou Ding write better and better, plus he is also smart, and he is ready to send him to the school in some time.

Thinking about it, I went to the four treasures store of the study last time to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Xiao Douding held it in his arms, not to mention how precious it was.

There was still a meat dish in the house, and after walking around the market, the two of them got on the ox cart and prepared to go home.

This guy can be regarded as half a housewarming, and Shen Qingqing can't help but feel proud in his heart.

As long as you are willing to work, you will always have a good life.

However, about going to the school, you still need to ask Xiaodouding's own opinion: "Haohao, will my mother send you to the school in a while?" ”

"Academy?" Little Bean Ding bit his mouth. "Is this where the second uncle of the Lin family is?"

There are very few children in the village who go to school, and Lin Nan is the only one who knows to read in the village.

"Yes." Shen Qingqing touched Xiao Douding's hairy head. "Do you want to go?"

"Yes!" If it weren't for the two of them on the ox cart, Xiao Douding would probably have jumped off.

"This is the school, Haohao is an adult." Shen Qingqing instructed. "I can ...... later"

Who knows, Xiao Douding's mind is not here at all, his eyes are just looking at one place.

Following Xiao Douding's gaze, I saw a woman on the side of the road who was particularly attention-grabbing, the woman was squatting on the ground, her head buried in her body, her head trembling, as if she was crying.

Shen Qingqing wondered, how could anyone cry on the side of the road in broad daylight.

Xiao Douding's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Mother, this is Aunt Zhang." ”

Shen Qingqing took a closer look, this was really her daughter-in-law Zhang.

This Zhang is the most hard-working daughter-in-law in the village, she is soft and glutinous and does not like to fight with others.

In addition to this layer of relationship, Shen Qingqing, the neighbor of this neighborhood, categorically can't look at her like this.

Just as the ox cart stopped on the path at the entrance of the village, Shen Qingqing took Xiao Douding's hand, walked in and asked, "Zhang's?" Why are you here alone? ”

When Zhang saw someone coming, he hurriedly stood up and patted the soil on his body: "It's Qingqing, it's okay, I'm ...... When you're tired of walking, sit down and rest. ”

"Sit down and rest?"

Zhang's head was lowered, although he deliberately avoided it, but Shen Qingqing could see it clearly, and Zhang's eyes were already crying like walnuts!

Zhang's is white and his eyes are big, and when he cries like this, he looks like a door painting.

Shen Qingqing looked at it in his eyes, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "This person always has a difficult time that he can't overcome, and he will pass it in a lifetime." ”

"You ......" Zhang held a handkerchief, and had heard a lot of rumors about her before, but when I saw her today, I realized that she was so easy-going.

Shen Qingqing looked at people and didn't want to say anything, she was not a person who took the initiative to provoke right and wrong: "Zhang, it's hot here, if there is anything you can do when you get home, you will ...... it when you get home."

"Home?" Who knew that before the sentence was finished, Zhang didn't know which word he heard, and he actually cried again.

Zhang sat directly on the ground, crying just now was still extremely quiet, but now he was crying loudly, as if he had been restrained for a long time.

Whoever hears the cry can't help but feel pity.

Shen Qingqing squatted on the ground and patted Zhang's shoulder: "What's wrong?" What are the difficulties in this house? ”

"Qingqing, you don't know how hard I've lived, I can't wait to jump off the river."

"Zhang, you ......" Shen Qingqing didn't know how to comfort him.

Zhang lay on Shen Qingqing's shoulder, crying silently, and Shen Qingqing vaguely listened to the matter.

Since this Zhang family got married, he has abided by his duties, honored his in-laws, and has been a female celebrity day and night in order to subsidize the family, and in order to give the family more silver taels, this eye is almost blind.

But who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances, and when the mother's family is out of the father's house, something happens to the father and needs to be seen by the silver two.

Shen Qingqing also sighed when he heard this: "Since this is a disease, of course you have to take money to treat the disease." ”

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to move an inch without a single piece of silver." Zhang's mood has eased a lot, and when he saw someone coming, he also told the bitterness in his stomach. "My mother-in-law brother has just married his daughter-in-law, and the family doesn't even have the money to buy rice, how can I look at it?"

This is a problem, when Shen Qingqing was thinking about it, Zhang said again: "I have been in my mother-in-law's house for many years, and I have earned a lot of silver taels just by being a female celebrity, but this silver tael is held by my mother-in-law, today I went home to ask for money, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to ...... I didn't expect my mother-in-law to kick me out! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang was in pain again, and tears fell down like rain.

Her mother-in-law, Shen Qingqing, also knows that she is very tough when she is caught in the field, but no matter how much she talks about human life, she can't be so lazy.

Presumably, there are too many grievances in this Zhang family's heart, so he cried on the side of the road.

Zhang looked at Shen Qingqing, and pulled his hands tightly: "I have been making cattle and horses for my mother-in-law all these years, I will hurry up to do what she says, I can't do it a quarter of an hour late, I have never complained about being a female celebrity, no matter how tired and bitter I am, my mother-in-law is in trouble today, but my mother-in-law treats me like this, how do I want to live!" What the hell am I supposed to do? ”

In this rural area, the mother-in-law has always had a great right to speak, and the daughter-in-law has no status, so it seems that the Zhang family has also been forced to a dead end.

"Auntie, don't cry, it's not good to cry again." Although Xiao Douding didn't understand what happened, he was comforted to see Zhang's crying like this.

"Hao Hao is so good." Zhang touched Xiao Douding's head, and there was indescribable emotion in his eyes. "My aunt feels uncomfortable in my heart."

Shen Qingqing looked at a few people coming over from time to time on the road, and it would be bad to recruit the gossiping mother-in-law over after a while, so he thought about it and said, "Zhang, why don't you come to my house first, you see that this day is so hot, it will not be good to have heat stroke after a while." ”

The Zhang family couldn't get money and couldn't go back to their parents' house, and their in-laws didn't dare to go back, so they had to nod.

After returning home, Shen Qingqing poured a glass of water for Zhang's family: "Zhang's, although I shouldn't say this, I still can't help but mention you, you have suffered so much for being a female celebrity in the family, the silver taels should not be given to your mother-in-law, and the next time your mother-in-law shows you a face, you have to resist." ”

This horse is good at being ridden by others, and people are good at being bullied, and if you don't provoke things, you can't be afraid of things.

Zhang wiped his tears and nodded: "After this incident, I also understand, no matter what, I have to rely on myself." ”

"That's right."

Shen Qingqing said and walked to the inner room, took out a white silk cloth wrapped in something and handed it to Zhang: "Here are a few taels of silver, although it is not much, but you can also take it to your father to see a doctor first." ”

"This ......" Zhang was stunned for a moment.

Anyone can put the icing on the cake, but there are not many people who send carbon in the snow.

Shen Qingqing smiled: "You go first and collect it, and then give it to me when you have two silver taels." ”

Zhang's was also polite, his eyes were full of gratitude: "Qingqing, you put it in the west, and I will definitely return it to you when I have the silver." ”

"It doesn't matter." Shen Qingqing patted her hand. "You can come to my house more when you have time."

This Zhang family thanked him for everything, took the silver and left.
