Chapter 277: Incomprehensible

Zhang Li had no other way, but he couldn't bear not to see Yan'er, so there was no other way but to take the silver once to see her, but this silver could only be given by Mianniang.

Zhang Li naturally only told Mianniang about this matter, and Mianniang only buried it in her heart, and didn't dare to tell Jin'er at all, lest she know that she was going to make trouble again.

After that sadness, Zhang Li's reason slowly returned, and he seemed to be a little ashamed, he went to see Yan'er but asked Mianniang for silver, which seemed to be unbearable.

"Mianniang, I have already planned it, I will do the housework in the future, and I will also prepare the meals, you just need to embroider the handkerchief with peace of mind." Zhang Li said flatteringly.

Mianniang's hand holding the needle and thread paused, and then nodded and said okay.

She didn't think about what she wanted him to do at all, but now that he took the initiative to do housework, was it because he felt guilty about himself?

Mianniang didn't know what to say, but he was up to himself. On the first day, Zhang Li cleaned up the house and washed his clothes again, but his face was flushed, he himself felt that this should not be something that a man should do, he has given in to this extent now, he is always worthy of Mianniang!

At noon, Zhang Li was about to cook, Mianniang wanted to say something, but she still opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Zhang Li was also protected by his father and mother before, and then he married Mianniang, where did he cook. In the past, when he was in a good mood, he also accompanied Mianniang in the back kitchen.

That's just washing the vegetables and adding to the fire, he thinks that cooking is just like that, where is the difficulty?

But now he knows it as soon as he gets started, and what he thinks and does is completely different. He can't chop vegetables, he barely chopped them, and he can't say anything about knife work.

Cooking is even more difficult, he doesn't even know the steps, and almost burns the back kitchen.

In the end, Mianniang came over and cleaned up the mess.

"Mian, Mianniang, I, I thought I would do it...... That's how it ......," Zhang Li said aggrievedly.

"It's okay, you haven't cooked, so I'll do it!" Mianniang said lightly.

"Not only that, but the clothes you washed in the morning were not cleaned, and the oil spots on the clothes yesterday are still on them now, I have to wash them again, and I will do it myself in the future!" Jin'er said politely.

How did she know what her father was crazy about, he actually got up early in the morning to wash his clothes and clean up the house.

She's not the kind of person who messes around, and since her father has the heart to learn well, how can she stop it.

Even when she went to see the clothes, there was no difference from the unwashed ones, she accidentally dripped soup on the clothes yesterday, and now they are still on them.

She had no choice but to wash her clothes again, and she could only secretly say that her father had only wasted water and soap in vain when he washed his clothes.

It's not over yet, he still wants to cook today? She herself has studied with her mother for a long time, and she has only learned the fur, and the food she cooks is only edible.

He, a man who has never been in the kitchen, actually wants to cook, and the result is predictable.

"I also want to do something for the family, how can you talk about this girl!" Zhang Li said angrily.

He was already a little annoyed and angry, but this girl still spoke disrespectfully, didn't this force him to be angry!

Jin'er didn't say anything more, she just snorted, and then cleaned up the mess with Mianniang, it's not early, if they don't clean up, they won't even be able to eat lunch today.

It's the first and last day. Zhang Li felt that he couldn't do it well anyway, so he still wouldn't do those useless things.

He was still holding the book, and he couldn't read the article, just thinking about Yan'er in his head, and then composing some sour poems. He thought that the next time they met, he would definitely show this poem to Yan'er.

He only waited at home every day, waiting for Mianniang to sell the embroidery and then come back with the silver.

Even he wanted to directly take the handkerchief embroidered by Mianniang and sell it himself, and he didn't have to take the silver from Mianniang.

But he has seen it, this is not good, the people who buy the handkerchief already know Mianniang, and sometimes he will ask some things about the embroidered handkerchief, those patterns or something, how can he understand.

In desperation, he could only wait at home, and once Mianniang came back from selling the handkerchief, he would take the silver, and then go to Yan'er.

It's just that everything is always difficult for the first time, and the first time Zhang Li asked Mianniang for silver, he was not very easy to speak. In the end, he still missed Yan'er and had the upper hand, so he took the initiative to open this mouth.

"Mianniang, how much silver did you sell this time? I look at the handkerchief! Zhang Li asked.

Mianniang knew it in her heart, she no longer stupidly thought that he was caring about herself, he was obviously caring about silver.

"A total of twenty-two taels of silver were sold, but this was embroidered in three months." Mianniang said.

As soon as he heard that he had sold twenty-two taels of silver, Zhang Li's eyes lit up, this silver was enough for him to go once!

"That, I, I haven't been out for a long time, so Mianniang, can you give me some silver......" Zhang Li said a little embarrassed.

Mianniang lowered her head, she felt very uncomfortable, she saw that he hadn't gone out for several days, thinking that he had given up on the girl.

Now it seems that she was wrong, he didn't go out to see the girl, just because he didn't have any money, and the place where the girl was, I'm afraid that he needed silver to get in!

Mianniang has never refused him, such a request, and she has no way to say not to give it.

If she doesn't give it, she is afraid that her husband will never come back! She couldn't live without him......

"How much do you want?" Mianniang raised her head and asked.

"Fifteen taels of silver." Zhang Li replied.

His eyes were very bright, but he didn't expect Mianniang to ask anything, so she wanted to give it to him directly. He is not the kind of person who has no conscience, he only takes fifteen taels of silver, and the rest is still for his family and kept for his family.

Mianniang didn't know how she felt at the moment, obviously, obviously she had already said that this was the weight of three months, so he took fifteen taels, and the rest was only seven taels of silver, how could their family use it for three months......

"I can't give you so much, seven taels of silver is not enough for three months of food and drink at home, at least twelve taels of silver, so I will give you ten taels of silver." Mianniang said.

"No! Ten taels of silver is not enough, you give me another two taels of silver, save some flowers at home, I don't need to add anything, just eat, it should be enough. Zhang Li said with a frown.

Ten taels of silver can't even see Yan'er's face, so just twelve taels! He didn't leave any other silver, just twelve taels of silver, and he could see Yan'er once.

Twelve taels of silver is already the lowest, even if they don't buy anything, their family of three needs so much silver.

Mianniang didn't speak, just fought silently.

"What are you doing? Why is it deadlocked here? Jin'er asked.

She was in the house when she heard a voice in the courtyard outside, as if she heard her father say something about silver, and when she heard it, she felt that something was wrong, and hurried out to take a look.

Her mother worked hard for three months to sell embroidered handkerchiefs once, and if the money was taken away by her father before it was reached at home, how would they live in the future? I don't even have any money left at home.

"It's nothing, you're a girl, what kind of adult do you come out to mix? Go into the house, I have something to say to your mother. Zhang Li said with a frown.

"What is there to say, you have to say it in the courtyard? Go into the house and say no? Jin'er asked.

The two of them stopped talking, and Jin'er saw the silver bag in Mianniang's hand.

"Mother, I'll help you get the silver back, if you want to say it, just say it here! lest outsiders see our family's silver, and it will not be good if they steal it again. Jin'er said.

Zhang Li only felt a burst of anger, he now dislikes this family more and more, his wife is disobedient, and now even this girl is not filial at all!

"What to take, I'm still here, who else can take the silver? You go in! Zhang Li said angrily.

Jin'er didn't listen to him either, just looked at her mother, who was silent now, obviously knowing that if she gave all the money to her father, their family would only be able to drink the northwest wind.

"Jin'er, let's go in! Mother and your father have something to say. Mianniang said softly.

"No, I just heard it, Dad is going to take the silver, right? How? You don't want me and my mother to live? Drinking the Northwest Wind at home? Jin'er said sarcastically.

"Nonsense! When did I not want you to live? As the head of the family, I can't even take the money in my house now? So what kind of man am I! Zhang Li roared angrily.

"You're the head of the family? The money in the family is all earned by my mother, and if I count on you, our family will starve to death! Why do you want to take money now? The money is for us to buy food!" And the mother's embroidered handkerchief also has to buy brocade, to buy good needlework, then there is no silver, what to buy! Jin'er said loudly.

If you are disobedient and unfilial, you will be disobedient and unfilial! She really endured enough today, as long as she was there, she would never allow his father to take the money away!

"Smack!"

Zhang Li slapped Jin'er in the face. His face was pale, and he was obviously angry.

What he hates most is that some people will say that he has not done anything, that he has not made money, that he has to live on women!

He is the head of the family, Mianniang is his wife, he should have made money, and this silver should be the head of the family!

"Jin'er......" Mianniang hugged Jin'er and cried.

Her daughter has grown so big, she has never scolded her, and now Zhang Li actually beat her!

Jin'er didn't cry, just looked at Zhang Li coldly, hating him in her heart.

What else would a cowardly and incompetent man do besides venting his anger on his wife and children? Obviously, what she said was right, and it was because she was right that he became angry when he talked about his scars.

"What to cry about! If she is disobedient and unfilial, she should be beaten! It should have been cleaned up a long time ago, and let her know that I am his father, and she has to be obedient! Zhang Li said angrily.

He didn't feel distressed at all, he just felt that his anger hadn't dissipated, don't think he didn't see it, this stinky girl, looking at him with such eyes.

"The silver is for you, and you go! Don't hit my Jin'er......," Mianniang cried.

"No way!" Jin'er shouted.

Where is her strength greater than that of a man, Zhang Li was originally very angry, and when she heard that she was going to give him silver, she immediately eased her face.

Anyway, he has already fallen out, and he doesn't have to worry about any courtesy, righteousness and shame, it's only serious to get the silver to see Yan'er!

He took the silver bag and smiled, but he didn't go too far, took twelve taels of silver, and then returned the bag to Mianniang.

Then he turned around and ran out without even looking back.

"Mother! Why should you give it to him! Jin'er cried.

"Jin'er, he can't stop it, he wants silver with all his heart, how can we be a woman...... And he didn't take it all, let's save it, and we can do it......" Mianniang said in a low voice.

She had no choice, and she had never seen Zhang Li go crazy like that. She was afraid, she was afraid of provoking him and making him have some terrible face.

"Will? He only left ten taels of silver for us, where can we live for three months! Jin'er cried.

"Enough, there are people who are even poorer than our family, how people live, let's live!" Mianniang said softly.

What else can be done? Life always has to go on, and you have to live without money......

"Mother, tell me honestly, what is he doing with so much silver? Even if he goes to drink, he doesn't need so much silver, so he has to go to the gambling house? Jin'er shouted loudly.

She just guessed, but she couldn't guess anything else besides this, he could need so much silver, most of it was a gambling house, otherwise it wouldn't be like a demon.

"No, your father didn't go to the gambling house, he, he just has something to do, so he needs silver, my mother knows, don't ask, my mother begs you to ......" Mianniang looked at Jin'er pleadingly.

Jin'er only had a line of tears flowing down, her mother looked at her like that, pleading eyes, what else could she do, she could only stop asking.

But she can not ask her mother, but she must figure it out, she can't let her father take away so much money from the family in vain!

As soon as Zhang Li went out, he didn't come back until the afternoon of the next day, as if he had some kind of treasure, and came back with a red face.

"What are you doing back? Isn't it just this day, the silver will be spent! Jin'er said angrily.

"I don't want to talk to you about this now, you are disobedient and unfilial, I am in a good mood now, I don't want to worry about you, you better avoid me quickly, so as not to be beaten again." Zhang Li said with a frown.

He is rarely in a good mood now, and he doesn't want to be angry with this girl anymore. He was going to starve to death, and Chunfeng Lou didn't have anything to eat.

"Do you have anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death. Zhang Li asked.

"No, the family has no money to buy food. Why did you not even eat after you took so much silver? Jin'er said sarcastically.

Seeing that Zhang Li was about to get angry, Mianniang hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, there's food in the stove, I'll go and heat it up for you, come and eat!" Mianniang hurriedly said.

Zhang Li was very hungry, and when he heard that there was food, he didn't care about beating and scolding Jin'er.

Jin'er smelled the smell of fat powder from Zhang Li again, and she had a conjecture in her mind, isn't it, he went to the land of fireworks?

Zhang Li was eating over there, and Mianniang came back, she had to talk to Jin'er, lest she be stupid again.

"You don't have to face your father anymore, he will really beat you, my mother can't take care of you here, your reputation is important, you can't be said by others that you are disobedient and unfilial!" Mianniang persuaded.

"Mother, I'm not afraid of this, I just have to do myself, and this is our housework, how can others manage it." Jin'er said casually.

She really loves freedom and doesn't want to be swayed by others at all, since he dares to come against her father, she is not afraid of being beaten.

If he had the ability, he would have killed her! He didn't dare! That person will only bully the soft and afraid of the hard, and will only bully her mother.

"Mother, we've all come to this point, what are you still enduring? Don't you really smell the fat powder on him? I smelled it last time, so he didn't go to the gambling house, but he took the money to the brothel! Jin'er looked at Mianniang and said.

Mianniang has always been unable to hide any thoughts on her face, her face turned white when she brushed it, she never thought of this, she thought that if she didn't say it, Zhang Li would definitely not tell Jin'er, then she would not know about it as a child.

As a result, she still knew. Yes, he didn't hide it when it was so obvious, how could they not smell it!

Mianniang didn't answer, but it was already obvious that she acquiesced, Jin'er was sure, and she was even more angry.

"He really went to that kind of place! Take your hard-earned silver to the land of fireworks? Why didn't he die! Jin'er scolded angrily.

"Jin'er! No matter how you say it, he's your father, don't you say that......" Mianniang cried.

"What a father he is! What did he bring to me? It's because of him that I think men are ruthless and unrighteous, and I don't want to marry at all, and I don't believe in the so-called love! "

When she was a child, she still felt that she was very happy, her mother was capable and virtuous, and she was very good to her and her father. Although my father didn't do anything, he was studying, in order to gain fame and give them a better life in the future.

She used to see her mother being shy and timid to her father, and her father was also soft-spoken, she really felt very good at the time, and she would find someone who liked each other in the future.

But it's only been a few years? Her mind has been turned upside down! What kind of concubine, what kind of love, it's all fake!

Her mother really loves her father, but so what, her father is ruthless and unrighteous, and gradually becomes a person, which is more and more shameful.

"Mother, you already knew that he was going to the land of fireworks, so why did you give him silver? Don't you care about him the most? Why do you actually watch him go to such a place now, and give him the money back! Jin'er looked at Mianniang puzzled.

Mianniang looked at Jin'er with painful eyes.

"Your father said he loved that woman, so what can I do? He said let me fulfill him, and I had never seen him so affectionate. Everyone else got what I couldn't get, but I was still reluctant. If I don't give him the money. He's going to leave us. I have lived for him for half of my life, and if I didn't have him, I wouldn't know how to live the rest of my life. Mianniang's eyes were full of affection but her face was confused.

Jin'er only thinks it's funny, she thinks her mother is sad and ridiculous, how can anyone leave who can't live?

Her mother can earn money, she is also older, and if it were not for her so-called father, they would definitely be better off.

"Mother, you can live the rest of your life without him, you still have me, I will accompany you at home, we can also save some silver, and then go to other places to play, you can eat delicious food, wear beautiful clothes, why bother to be wronged here for him!" Jin'er persuaded.

"It's different, I like your father, to the point where I can't do without, as long as he's still here, as long as he doesn't leave us, I can do anything, he likes that woman, that's okay, I will never see that woman in my life, and I won't see them get along, then I won't be sad." Mianniang comforted herself.

"Mother! You are deceiving yourself! How can you not be sad, you still have so much time in the rest of your life, do you really want to spend it like this? Desperately make money every day, and then watch the money you earn be taken away by him, and go to meet other women! Jin'er roared angrily.

"I'd rather deceive myself than endure the pain of not having your father by my side now, Jin'er forgive my mother, you don't have to endure it for a long time, I will secretly save a dowry for you, and then after two years, let you marry a good family, you won't have to be wronged here in the future......" Mianniang said gently.

"I don't want it! I don't want to get married, if I marry a man like my father, then what's the point of marrying me? And I'm gone, so what do you do? A person who is struggling and waiting to live the rest of his life? Jin'er's face was full of disbelief.

She really can't understand her mother, why can she endure it to this point? In the future, she will be desperately trying to make money, so why bother......

What does she get? The beloved likes someone else, and she can't get company, and as long as the man has money, he will definitely go to the woman, and her mother can only wait alone.

So why bother......
