"Mother, I asked my aunt to go to Lao Xu's house to peel fruits, but her mother-in-law didn't agree, this money-making work, I'd rather invite outsiders than our own people, and we don't want to go to their house to fight the autumn breeze, we all rely on labor to earn food, this is not allowed, and my aunt's family is too ruthless."

Both mother and son are in the same vein of opinions.

Yuan Pozi's eyes were gloomy, "Let's wait for two more days, if she hasn't moved, I will call her back, teach her a good lesson, the old lady eats bran vegetables to raise her, let her marry a good family, live a good life, don't you just want her to mention her mother's family?" Such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, what's the use of the old lady keeping her? What kind of hard life does your second aunt live every day? I will find a way to marry Xiaohai and make up for it, if your aunt doesn't take the money and delays Xiaohai's marriage, I won't be done with her......"

As he was talking, suddenly outside the fence wall, there was the sound of the old father coughing.

The patriarch was under the tree at the gate, smoking and resting.

I can still faintly hear the people in the house.

"Old woman, Dahua's son-in-law is here!"

The mother-in-law in the house was suddenly silent.

At the same time, several people in the house showed joy on their faces, and it was a good thing to come to the door at this time.

Mrs. Yuan hurriedly pulled her eldest son Yuan Qiang up from the chair, "Don't just want to be paralyzed all day long, take a walk, and go to meet your eldest brother-in-law together." ”

Here, the patriarch has already led Xu Lao Er into the house enthusiastically.

Xu Lao Er also carried a backpack on his shoulder, walking with sweat all over his head, a strong mountain man, standing in the family of the old Yuan family, standing out from the crowd, particularly prominent.

Mrs. Yuan greeted with a smile, "On this hot day, Dahua son-in-law, why are you here?" Sweat from the heat, come inside and rest. Xiaohai, you don't have the eyesight to see, don't go and help your aunt pick up the back basket! ”

Yuan Xiaohai understood, and immediately went to pick up the back basket on Xu Er's body.

The back basket was very heavy, and as soon as Yuan Xiaohai took it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Yuan Pozi also saw it, when Xiao Hai took the back basket, it sank as soon as he started it, it must have been full of things, it was too heavy, and the smile on his face became more and more full.

"Old family, there are distinguished guests at home, and you don't want to cook? What is the pestle doing here? Take out the cornmeal that we are usually reluctant to eat, and make cornmeal nest for Dahua, Dahua's son-in-law finally came to visit, don't slack off. ”

Xu Lao Er couldn't stand this enthusiasm, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, your own family don't have to be so polite, I will eat whatever you eat, don't get in the way, the main reason for coming today is that Chunhua asked me to come over for Xiaohai's marriage......"

"Hurry up, come into the house and say, come into the house and say."

After entering the house, Xu Lao Er didn't say much, and told his daughter-in-law Yuan Chunhua all the things she had confessed.

And he took out three taels of silver.

Among them, 22800 wen is the salary of loquat ointment, and there are 200 wen, which he has been lucky enough to hunt in the mountains these days, and the prey he caught went to the town to sell and kept it privately.

Yuan Pozi took the silver over, and pointed to a few new cloths in the back basket, her face sank, "So, these cloths are made up because the silver is not enough?" ”

Xu Lao Er snorted and said crampedly, "Xiaohai's marriage, I, who is an aunt, should be funded, but that's all Chunhua and I can think of, our family is not well-off, and it is not the landlord's family, the four children in the family are almost adults, and if we want to say goodbye, life is not easy." ”

Uncle Yuan muttered, "Your family is still having a good time?" It's almost time to catch up with the landlord's house, harvesting so many fruits every day, inviting so many laborers, I don't know how much money I made? My sister Chunhua married into your family, her hands and feet are diligent, serving her in-laws, a family, there is no merit and hard work, there is so much spare money to ask for labor, Xiaohai married, promised to get five taels of silver can not be made up, but also to take the cloth to arrive, I thought it was my Chunhua sister to make new clothes for me as a brother, the family is prosperous, the life and death of relatives do not care, and it is too unkind to be a man. ”

Xu Lao Er was still a little inexplicably guilty, but he heard Uncle Yuan's words so straightforwardly.

No matter how good his temper is, he is a little displeased.

"The loquat paste is made by my old sister, and she takes out the money to ask for labor, and the money she earns is not left in the public, it is her own dowry, and we will divide the salary, these three taels of silver are the wages of all the people in our family, all of them are brought, and there is nothing in their hands. Originally, Xiaohai had parents and parents, and I shouldn't be taken care of by an outsider surnamed Xu, what is unkindness? ”

It is rare for Xu Lao Er to speak so thorny, and such a sum of money is really equivalent to a huge amount of money for him.

In all these years, he had not had so much silver on hand.

Just a few days after I started, I didn't cover the heat, so I sent it to someone.

didn't say anything after sending it, a good word didn't fall, and it was said to be unkind.

No matter how honest he is, he has a bit of a temper.

When Yuan Po saw it, she hurriedly scolded Yuan Qiang, "What are you talking nonsense about?" Your brother-in-law couldn't be more kind! Dahua son-in-law, don't listen to him, just treat him as a fart! I know that Xiaohai's marriage makes it very difficult for you husband and wife, but we can't help it, seeing that Xiaohai is about to be twenty years old, such a big person, even the daughter-in-law can't say it, the girl introduced this time is diligent and hardworking, she is a girl from a good family, we all fancy it, that is, the bride price is expensive......"

In front of Xu Laoer, he cried poorly, and said good things about Xu Laoer, patting him on the back.

appeased Xu Laoer's anger.

Then, Mrs. Yuan asked curiously, "Is it true that all the money earned by your family was given to your sister?" That's a lot! So many people have been busy for so many days? ”

Xu Lao Er replied truthfully, "How much did I earn, my mother didn't say, but even if she made money, my sister should have taken it out for family use, it took a few taels to repair the cellar at home, and it took ten taels of silver to repair the house or something, and to honor my father and mother, plus ten taels of wages to my family, it is estimated that it is almost spent." ”

There are a few people in the mother-in-law, one listens to a few taels, one hears another ten taels, and then listens to a ten taels......

This saliva is about to run down.

Lord Qingtian!

A village girl, in just a few days, can earn dozens of taels of silver, what a great blessing treasure girl is this!

Mrs. Yuan regretted it, if Yuan Xiaohai had been taken by Xu Zhang's family and could marry Xu Jiaojiao, then their old Yuan family would not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future.

If you make loquat paste a year to earn twenty or thirty taels, you will do it every year...... Oops!

It's too wonderful to imagine!
