The family was very unhappy, and the atmosphere was heavy.

It's all about money.

……

After they left, Xu Jiaojiao found Xu Zhang's, and Xu Zhang's turned over the bottom of the box in the back room.

There is also some silver at the bottom of the box, which are all saved by Xu Zhang's family, and Xu Youde's pension silver.

Seeing Xu Jiaojiao come in, Xu Zhang's expression was lonely, her two dark circles were very thick, and she hadn't slept well in the past few days, worrying about whether her second son's injuries could be treated, and worrying that she had no money to treat them.

"Jiaojiao, your second brother is miserable! Marrying such a broken daughter-in-law has caused such a ......"

He wiped his tears as he spoke.

Xu Zhang's does not shed tears easily in front of outsiders, and only in front of Xu Jiaojiao will he shed tears without defense.

Relax the tense mood for a moment.

In front of outsiders, Xu Zhang is a cruel and emotionless evil mother-in-law, and everyone is afraid of her.

"Mother, it's come to this, don't talk about this, mother, what are you doing? Looking for what? Xu Jiaojiao asked.

Xu Zhang took out a black cloth bag from the bottom of the box.

Open layer after layer, revealing some broken silver with white flowers, half a tael, one tael, and two taels......

There are about twenty taels.

Xu Zhang's face ached, "I saved the coffin book with your father, and now I can't keep it, pay back the silver owed by the Rejuvenation Hall first, and then talk about it, and then I will think of a way with your father for the follow-up treatment, your father is counting on your eldest brother to take the silver back, I think it is difficult, when the time comes, let your father pull down the old face, where to borrow it." ”

Xu Jiaojiao felt sorry for Xu Zhang's family, from beginning to end, Xu Zhang's family never said that he would not treat Xu Lao'er, this old woman is a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

As soon as Xu Lao Er woke up, she could scold Xu Lao Er for a bloody dog, but she was even willing to take out the coffin to treat the person who even the doctor said had little hope of healing and treating the injury.

In this kind of countryside where there is little food and clothing, to be honest, the old Xu family has done enough authenticity.

After all, the old Xu family not only has one son, but also the old Xu family, there are many sons, many grandchildren, and there is no worry about passing on the seeds.

But it is quite good to be able to devote the whole family to treating Xu Lao'er.

Silver, or lack of silver!

Xu Jiaojiao felt that silver was really indispensable, and as soon as there was a little silver, she would be restrained in every way.

With the silver, Xu Zhang's family would not be as anxious as if he was more than ten years old.

Xu Jiaojiao comforted her and said, "Mother, when I wait for the loquat ointment season next year, I will earn more silver and give it to my mother as a coffin for the elderly." ”

Xu Zhangshi looked at her with satisfaction, to be honest, Xu Youde just started to say that he would take the coffin book out to treat the second child, she was against it, panic!

Later, I thought that her old daughter had the ability, so she was relieved, and she agreed without letting Xu Youde bother to speak.

"I can only hope to live with my old daughter, old girl, I haven't told anyone about the five acres of land in your hand, your father doesn't know, you must not take it out. Your second brother's matter, you have already taken ten taels of silver, you are benevolent and righteous, don't mention your field, you know? If you want to sell the field, it won't be your turn to sell it......"

Again.

Xu Jiaojiao responded, and at a glance, she saw a small cloth bag in the far corner of the bottom of the box, and asked curiously, "What is in this pink bag?" ”

Xu Zhang's face rarely showed some smiles, "My mother quietly saved a dowry for you, five taels of silver." ”

Xu Jiaojiao took it out and opened it to see, what is it not five taels of silver?

It's all one or two, small ingot-shaped.

Lined up, it's particularly good-looking.

This is what Xu Zhang didn't know about planning for a long time.

"Mother, take out this silver to treat the second brother's injuries...... I don't need ......."

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao spoke, Xu Zhangshi blocked her words, "No, my coffin is gone, I have a few sons!" But the dowry money I saved for my daughter is absolutely immovable, old girl, you are the heart of my mother, and no one will cross you. Your second brother's injury is a bottomless pit, more than your five taels of silver, less than your five taels of silver, I will never take it out, my silver is spent on going to the town gold store to exchange for a small ingot, in the future waiting for you to marry, as a dowry, decent, good-looking, this is my mother's mind, no matter how much, you have to take it, you will earn money yourself is one thing, my mind is another. ”

Xu Jiaojiao saw Xu Zhang's look of protecting the calf, and she didn't allow her to say.

Dumb, dumb, forget it.

These five taels of silver really don't cover anything.

I was moved and emotional, in Xu Zhang's heart, she was really the first special.

Even beyond her own interests.

Such a great maternal love, so that she doesn't know what to repay, the original owner is really too lucky, with such an old mother who loves her.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled, "My mother is good to me, I can save it, in the future, I will definitely honor my mother!" By the way, let's not talk about silver, what did the fourth brother say before that there was something wrong with the mother's womb, what's the matter? Why don't I know? ”

When Xu Laosi was beaten, that crying made Xu Zhang's fire extinguish.

There should be a reason for it.

When Xu Zhangshi heard this, he seemed to be contemplative, "When I was pregnant with your fourth brother and was about to give birth, your grandmother had not passed away at that time, your grandmother asked me to go to the river to wash clothes in winter, the weather was cold, the road was slippery, I fell into the river when I lost my footing, I was frozen by cold water, and I fished it up, the doctor said that your fourth brother could not live, so he was born prematurely, and your fourth brother was also affected by the cold into the body, and it was less than a month, and he was born without spirit, and he was sick, and when he was many years old, he couldn't pick up his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands......

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't imagine that a pregnant woman who was about to give birth would have to go to the river to wash clothes in the winter.

When Xu Zhang was young, what kind of treatment he received was also a grind.

"Then mother, what about you, your body is out of the way! I often see you shouting about back pain......"

After Xu Zhangshi took out the pension coffin book, he returned the bottom of the pressure box to its place and locked it with a big brass lock.

"I'm not in the way, it's okay, it's just a rainy day, my back hurts badly, my legs hurt too, and it's okay if it doesn't rain."

"That's good." Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Zhang's had a little more homely work.

Xu Jiaojiao discussed, "Mother, now that the family is short of money, I want to go into the mountains to find mountain goods or something, to see if there is anything valuable, the field can't be sold, and there is no silver, I can't watch the second brother drag it like this, the recovery period of the injury is good as soon as possible......"

Xu Zhangshi objected without thinking about it, "No, no, you are a girl's family, what mountain goods can you find in the mountains?" Your second brother had an accident in the mountains, as soon as you said that I entered the mountain, my brain was numb, my brain hurt, Jiaojiao, whether your second brother can be cured or not is his life, it has nothing to do with you, you can't enter the mountain. ”
