Tong Chuxue understood Li Zheng's concerns, "Uncle Li Zheng, I know that there are some things that you don't want to interfere with, I just want to ask you to comment today, I didn't ask for milk for ten taels of silver for no reason." ”

"Since my father went to the army three years ago, my mother asked my mother to pay 400 yuan a month for food, otherwise we would not be allowed to continue to live in Tong's house.

"Four hundred wen a month, and a dozen taels of silver in a year, I just want to ask everyone, now that grandma wants to divide our three rooms, do I want ten taels of silver too much?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a handful of stones thrown into the pond, causing a wave of waves, and the eyes of the lively villagers looking at Mrs. Tong became complicated, how could there be a grandmother looking for her granddaughter to ask for food expenses, it was ridiculous to say it, four hundred wen a month, almost five taels of silver a year, even if a large family had enough to eat.

Li Zheng didn't expect that there was such a secret inside, and asked with a cold face, "Mrs. Tong, what the snow girl said is the truth?" ”

Mrs. Tong saw that Li Zheng looked serious, and her original arrogance was also a lot lower, "The third child is not at home, and there is one less person to work at home, shouldn't the third room pay some money to the family?" ”

"Okay," Tong Shan's face turned pale, if this trend spread, how would outsiders think of Qingshan Village, and who would be willing to associate with the people of Qingshan Village, "I haven't heard of anyone's daughter-in-law and granddaughter still have to pay for food at home." ”

Mrs. Tong looked at Li Zheng's appearance, and she had the posture of standing on Tong Chuxue's side, and she was a little panicked. Although it is inconvenient for Li Zheng to directly intervene in family affairs, if Li Zheng feels that the Tong family is unfair, then the reputation of the Tong family in the entire Qingshan Village will be ruined.

Mrs. Tong's eyes rolled, she thought about it, and shouted at the top of her voice, "My wife has a hard life, I have lived a handful of years, and now I am being calculated by my own granddaughter, I, I might as well be hit to death!" As he spoke, he was about to hit the door panel of Tong's house.

If this really bumps into it and spreads out, others will not say that Mrs. Tong treats the third room harshly, but will only say that Tong Chuxue forced her grandmother to death and was disobedient and unfilial.

How could Tong Chuxue let her get her wish, taking advantage of Mrs. Tong's just about to move, she hugged the person.

She attached herself to Mrs. Tong's ear and whispered, "It doesn't matter if grandma hates me, but I also have to think about Xiaofei." ”

The daughters-in-law of the Tong family are not lucky, and now there is a grandson in the family, who is regarded as the root of life by Mrs. Tong.

At the mention of Xiaofei, Mrs. Tong suddenly became vigilant, "What do you mean?" ”

Tong Chuxue explained, "I heard that the family is going to send Xiaofei to study, you said, if the news of grandma's mistreatment of granddaughter spreads today, will the gentleman of the private school think that Xiaofei has a good way to learn and misbehave, and refuses to accept him." After all, if a child has a bad character and causes a storm, it will affect the reputation of the entire private school. ”

Mrs. Tong grabbed Tong Chuxue's hand tightly, her strength was so great that she wanted to crush her bones, "You dare!" ”

Tong Chuxue smiled contemptuously, "The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, do you think I dare." ”

Tong Chuxue's fierce momentum was not concealed in the slightest, and Mrs. Tong felt frightened for no reason, no matter how much she loved silver, she didn't dare to gamble with the only grandson of the Tong family.

"Don't say it, I'll give you ten taels of silver, get out immediately after taking the money!"

Tong Shan saw that Mrs. Tong was relieved, so he didn't say much, so he took a pen and paper, and wrote down the document on the spot, Xu Jinniang and Mrs. Tong pressed their fingerprints respectively, which was officially effective.

Mrs. Tong went back to the house and took out ten taels of silver, and her hand shook deliberately and spilled it all on the ground.

Tong Chuxue didn't care, Mrs. Tong was definitely not happy in her heart, as long as the silver was in hand.

Xu Jinniang was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, and looked at Tong Chuxue with teary eyes, "Chuxue, we have nothing to do with the Tong family?" ”

"It's okay, mother, the two of us will live together from now on."

In fact, rather than staying in Tong's house, Tong Chuxue hopes to be independent and live alone with Xu Jinniang.

The two simply packed a few packages and were kicked out by Mrs. Tong.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Jinniang was worried, "Where are we staying tonight?" ”

Tong Chuxue thought about it and remembered that Xu Jinniang had a very good relationship with Lin Chunyan, the third-room daughter-in-law of the Luo family, the Luo family was a wealthy family in the village, and the new house that was just started last year, the old house has been empty, maybe you can borrow it.

Xu Jinniang had no other way, so she listened to Tong Chuxue's suggestion and went to find the Luo family.

The Tong family's affairs have been tossed back and forth for almost a day, and the movement is so loud that almost the entire Qingshan Village knows about it, and the Luo family is naturally no exception.

When Xu Jinniang and Tong Chuxue arrived, the Luo family had just had dinner. Lin Chunyan was very happy when she saw Xu Jinniang coming, and hurriedly took her to her room and sat down, "I'm hungry all day, I'll go and order some noodles for you." ”

Xu Jinniang was embarrassed to eat at Luo's house, but Tong Chuxue knew that now was not the time to save face, so she preemptively said, "Then it will trouble Aunt Lin." ”

Lin Chunyan smiled, "What's the trouble, don't be polite to your aunt." ”

Lin Chunyan quickly cooked two bowls of noodles and served them on the table, and there was a big poached egg lying inside.

For ordinary farmers, they are often reluctant to eat their eggs, so they have to keep them to go to the town to exchange money, and they will only be generous once during the New Year's holidays. This Luo family entertains guests, just one egg per person, in the countryside, it can indeed be called "wealthy".

After Xu Jinniang finished eating noodles, she was in a hurry for a long time, Lin Chunyan was a little anxious when she heard it, and she didn't understand what Xu Jinniang meant, but Luo Hui'an, who passed by the door, said in one sentence, "Mother, Aunt Xu just wants to ask you if you can lend the old house to them to live in." ”

Tong Chuxue looked out from the door, an emaciated figure stood in the courtyard, the sky was dark, she couldn't see the other party's appearance, she only knew that the other party spoke gently and elegantly, and had the feeling of a scholar.

Lin Chunyan suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's the case, just just say it directly, and go around in circles with me." Okay, I'll help you ask what your father and mother mean, the old house has been empty anyway, and my father won't refuse. ”

With that, Lin Chunyan went to the main house.

Xu Jinniang was worried about whether she could borrow the old mansion, "Chu Xue, did you say that our request is a bit embarrassing for you Aunt Lin." ”

Tong Chuxue was much more optimistic, "Mother, let's borrow a few old houses to live in, and it's not for nothing, we can give some rent." ”

"Yes, what you said makes sense, we can't live in vain." Lin Chunyan nodded again and again.

About half an hour, there was a lot of quarrel in the main house of the Luo family, and the voices of several people were mixed together, and Tong Chuxue couldn't tell what was going on inside.

Xu Jinniang stood up suddenly, hesitating, wanting to step forward to see what was going on, but she felt that it was really inconvenient for an outsider to get involved in other people's affairs.

Tong Chuxue dragged Xu Jinniang back to the chair and sat down, "Mother, you have a good rest, I'll go see what's going on." ”
