The third daughter-in-law, Su Shi, looked at An Manyue with teary eyes, her lips slightly open, and she was so excited that she couldn't say a word.

Su Shi was even more excited when he thought that his mother would hand over the money for buying vegetables to himself......

An Manyue looked at Su Shi indifferently.

It's no wonder that Su Shi was surprised, although the original body was not capable of being a good housewife, but when it came to copper plates and silver, she was a clear man, and she did it single-handedly, without pretending to be the hands of others.

Seeing that she was standing stupidly and not speaking, An Manyue wondered, "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood, understood." Su stammered in response, and his excitement was difficult to calm down.

The old (second) daughter-in-law Xu Shi who was standing on the side was a little unhappy in her heart, the corners of her mouth twitched, she touched her stomach, and pondered, her mother has now given up power, if the job of buying meat can fall on her, she can still pull out a little copper plate from the meat money every time, and it is also excellent to buy some sweet mouths for the child at that time, how can such a good job be handed over to the third daughter-in-law?

Xu Shi stretched out his hand to hold An Manyue's arm, and said happily: "Mother, the third brother and sister are illiterate, and they have never touched the money in their hands, and they don't know if they have been cheated of money, so it's better to leave this job of buying meat to me, although I can't cook in the stove room with a big belly, I can still do the little thing of buying meat, and I can help the third brother and sister share it, so that the third brother and sister can't be busy!" ”

An Manyue had a shallow smile on her face, and glanced at the old (second) daughter-in-law Xu lightly, and then looked at the third daughter-in-law Su, and saw that the light in Su's eyes gradually disappeared.

Thinking about it with her toes, she knew that Su must be thinking that she would hand over the work of buying meat to Xu.

"The old (second) daughter-in-law, you are still pregnant, this job is still handed over to the third daughter-in-law, you can concentrate on raising the baby, this is the first child in your second room, you have to be careful," An Manyue handed Xu a concerned look, and coaxed in a good voice, "You have nothing to do on weekdays, and the birth is smoother." ”

However, the old (second) daughter-in-law Xu was not comforted at all, and looked at An Manyue crying, looking very aggrieved.

An Manyue said with a dark face: "What, I don't let you work and wronged you, or do you cook?" ”

Xu was even more aggrieved.

Ning Xueyu looked at the back of her mother leaving with some puzzlement, in her impression, her mother loved her second sister-in-law the most, and her mother should let her second sister-in-law buy meat.

But Ning Xueyu didn't have time to think about these things at this time, she didn't know if Su Wan'er would pay her back the silver, she thought about embroidering more handkerchiefs and selling them in the town, so she went back to the house silently.

As for An Manyue, she sat happily on the edge of the bed at this time, and couldn't wait to tell Ning Xueyu and Su Wan'er about the quarrel.

Although Ning Yongchuan was happy, he didn't show it on his face.

"By the way, why did your brother pass on his three sons to you in the first place, when the owner of your body was only twelve years old." The original body was also very curious about this, but how the original body asked Ning Yongchuan, Ning Yongchuan was reluctant to say, and An Manyue was even more curious.

Ning Yongchuan pondered for a long time and said: "I don't know the specific situation, the eldest brother and sister-in-law seem to have offended someone, and the eldest brother is worried that those people will do something to the children, so he will record the three of them in my name." ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone." Ning Yongchuan's expression was faint, and he continued, "Big brother said that he was afraid that if I knew too much, those people would also attack me, so I only asked me to take care of the three of them." ”

She was a little disappointed that she didn't hear the gossip An Manyue, but she didn't keep dwelling on this issue, and discussed: "I want to slowly release the power in my hand in the future." ”

"It's up to you to decide what happens at home." Ning Yongchuan had no opinion on this matter.

"Mother, get up and eat!"

It was the eldest daughter-in-law of the original body, Li, who was the daughter of the Xiucai family, who was nineteen years old this year, two years younger than the eldest Ning Zeren, and her eyes were above the top on weekdays, and she looked down on the mother-in-law of the original body, so the original body was very afraid of the Li family.

When a mother-in-law is afraid of her daughter-in-law, so the eldest daughter-in-law Li is at ease in the Ning family, plus Li is very good at doing superficial work, look, the person who cooks does not have her, and the person who comes to call her in-laws to eat is her, this kind of face-revealing work, no one dares to rob her.

"Got it." An Manyue didn't bother to imitate the cowering tone of the original body, and said indifferently.

Li Shi heard An Manyue answer like this, but left without saying anything.

An Manyue and Ning Yongchuan entered the dining table of the hall together after cleaning up, there were two empty seats on the north side of the table, and everyone else was already sitting on the stool in an orderly manner.

Ning Yongchuan sat on the vacant seat on the left, the male left and the female right, in this era, the left is respected, he sat down with An Manyue, then picked up the chopsticks and said to everyone: "Okay, sit down and eat." ”

Ning Yongchuan now has four sons and one daughter in name, the eldest Ning Zeren, the eldest (two) Ning Zeyi, the third Ning Zeli, and the fourth Ning Zezhi, and the sons are arranged according to the five permanent "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith", and as for the name of the daughter, Ning Yongchuan gave it casually.

As soon as everyone took a few sips, Ning Zeren, the boss sitting on the left side of Ning Yongchuan, spoke, "Daddy, I have something I want the second elder to say." ”

Boss Ning Zeren's words attracted everyone's attention, and the old (2) Ning Zeyi's eyes slipped with a trace of disdain, and he said angrily: "Big brother, you want to ask your father and mother for money again, they all say that the eldest son is like a father, you have studied for so many years, and the children are two, why do you still ask your father and mother for money at every turn, is it possible that you still expect your father and mother to support your big house for a lifetime!" ”

Lao (2) Ning Zeyi is eighteen this year, he has studied in the clan school for a few years, and he doesn't want to take the imperial examination, so he goes to school to help with the work in the town's grain shop, and goes out early and returns late every day, and the monthly money is only 300 yuan.

If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, the old (two) does this work, only to know that silver is not easy to come by, and his daughter-in-law is now pregnant again, and his heart is a little uneven.

The Ning family's grain shop is the main income of the Ning family, and it is only fifty or sixty taels of silver all year round, plus ten or so taels of silver from the crops in the field, the Ning family's annual income can be sixty or seventy taels of silver.

Don't look at the Ning family's income all year round, but it is about thirty taels a year spent on the eldest Ning Zeren, and the third Ning Zeli is not in good health, and the medicine money alone can spend twenty taels of silver a year, and the rest of the silver still needs to be taken out to help the Ning family, so it is good that the Ning family can save ten taels of silver all year round.

He had heard that readers could make money by copying books, but his eldest brother looked down on those money, saying that it was a waste of time to copy books, and he was unwilling to earn those copper plates.

The boss Ning Zeren's face was blue and white for a while, but it was his daughter-in-law Li who stood up and spoke.

"Second brother, what is this talking about, if your eldest brother is promoted to become an official in the examination, won't you also enjoy happiness together, you can see what you say, as if we are not a family, do you want to split up?"

The Li family has long wanted to split up, anyway, the big house follows her in-laws, and her mother-in-law is easy to control, she can casually fool her in-laws' coffin, saving more than ten taels of silver every year on the third child.

Ning Yongchuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes swept around, for a while, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise their eyes, his eyes finally fell on the boss Ning Zeren, and said, "Boss, you say!" ”

An Manyue sat aside, her eyes suddenly sank, she remembered, the book said that Ning Zeren spent five hundred taels of silver to buy exam questions in order to show off talent in the exam.

"Dad, that's the case, Master Chen of our academy is the most powerful at guessing the question, if you want to buy the books he sorted out, you need five hundred taels of silver, but you will definitely be able to pass the exam after reading it," Ning Zeren sat up straight and said with a serious face, "I know that my family doesn't have so much money, and I don't want to buy it, but I have several classmates who have spent money to buy it, if I don't buy it, this show will definitely be hopeless, and my father and mother don't have hope for me." ”

The boss said this, in fact, he wanted the Ning family to buy books for him, and the books he said were actually exam questions in the hands of Master Chen.

The boss didn't sleep all night last night, just thinking about this, and when he got the exam questions, he asked his father to help write the article, as long as he memorized them all, he would be able to get nine out of ten when the show was ready.

An Manyue wanted to give Ning Yongchuan a hint, but she never expected that Ning Yongchuan had already spoken.

"Then don't take the test."

The corners of An Manyue's mouth twitched, a smile flashed in her eyes, she turned her head to look at Ning Yongchuan, who was sitting beside her calmly, and then looked at Ning Zeren, the boss who looked like she had eaten, and silently praised Ning Yongchuan in her heart.

With a smart and witty teammate, she can save a lot of trouble.

Li Shi looked at Ning Yongchuan with a surprised expression, and finally his eyes fell on his mother-in-law, who was as timid as a mouse, and screamed: "Mother, Xianggong is a child of our family, and this time I can be a showman if I buy Master Chen's book!" ”

With a smart and witty teammate, she can save a lot of trouble.

Li Shi looked at Ning Yongchuan with a look of surprise, and finally his eyes fell on his mother-in-law, who was as timid as a mouse, and said sharply: "Mother, Xianggong is a child of our family, and this time I can be a showman if I buy Master Chen's book!" ”

Ning Zeren, who was sitting next to Li, frowned and did not speak.

An Manyue coughed, raised her eyes to meet the threatening eyes of the Li family, and then said: "I don't understand those things outside, I don't know about them, and I listen to your father." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law, Li, looked stunned, her mother-in-law has always listened to her, how dare she go against her this time?

Li shut up, in front of her father-in-law, she still didn't dare to quarrel with her mother-in-law.

An Manyue was in a good mood to bow her head to eat, and as for what others thought, she didn't care at all.

The eldest Ning Zeren really couldn't eat, so he dropped the dishes and chopsticks and left, if it weren't for the Li family taking care of the two children, he might have gone out with him.

There was a strange smell all over the table.
