Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sixty Peasant Mother-in-law (5)
Wang Tao also thought very clearly.
She now has a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, and she doesn't have to do many things by herself, even if she takes the old lady over, it is to let her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law help take care of it, and the most important point is that now she eats public food, and the old lady doesn't waste rations or anything when she lives at home.
Take it and take it.
You can also earn an old lady a suite.
It's really good and harmless.
Qiao Yong's face changed, he raised his hand and slapped Wang Tao's face, and said angrily:
"I knew you weren't so kind!
You even have to worry about my mother's last house, can't you get married in the family house?
Don't you know that the house is guarded by my mother for my third brother, my mother has been thinking about this all her life, you are going to dig her heart!
I don't have the ability to be a son, I can't let her spend her old age in peace, how can I still ......"
As he spoke, tears oozed from the corners of the arbor's dark and wrinkled eyes.
"How dare you hit me!
Your third brother has been missing for more than 40 years, and he doesn't know where the bones are rotten, what is worth keeping, and you don't look at what the crowding in the family looks like, your grandchildren have been married for seventeen or eighteen years, and they have given birth to several children, and now they can only sleep in one bed, and there can only be a curtain in between!
Sometimes it's hard to turn around at home!
You haven't thought about that!
Your mother lives in three or four rooms alone, and she can't live in it at all, not to mention, what's wrong with the house for her great-grandson to marry, you think I want to calculate your mother's house, but your great-grandson Gouzi's favorite cuckoo family wants to get married in a brick house, and he doesn't want to stay in that mud house!
So what, I moved to a mud house with you, and gave them the house they live in now for marriage, but now I let it, what should I do if I get married to the second dog, what if the second grandson and the third grandson are unwilling, what can I do? ”
Talking and talking, Wang Tao couldn't help crying loudly, poor and lowly couples mourned, that's probably what they said, there are too many things to worry about in daily life, many things seem to be very easy to solve, as long as you have money, but the key is that you can't come up with money, a penny can stump heroes, not to mention them.
They have two sons in the family, and the two sons each have three grandchildren, and they are all married, which is ten couples, and the eldest grandson's son is also sixteen this year.
However, there are only five tiled houses and five mud huts in the house, so you can imagine how crowded it is.
That's really married, and there is no way to live in a separate room with your parents, or two brothers and two couples, you can only live in one room, and the children have to live with two couples, it's difficult!
"Yes...... But that can't be calculated!
The three sons of the second family also lived! ”
Qiao Yong was also calmed by his daughter-in-law's crying, and couldn't help but slow down his voice and said cowardly.
"Although the second family has three sons, they only have four grandchildren, and their families have been separated......"
Wang Tao didn't stop crying, crying and talking.
"We're separated, or are we going to split up?"
"You...... I'm mad at you!
The second family is divided, it is because their family got a windfall in the town, and they can build a house for their three sons, if our family is separated, where do you let the children live?
Do you live in the fields?
How much can you give them a house?
Here, look at it, I've saved so much money here after saving all my life, look at it, look at how many dollars one person can share! ”
Wang Tao laughed angrily, doesn't she want to split the family, but if she has money to divide the family, if she doesn't have money, will she drive her son out and starve to death?
As he spoke, he angrily threw a wooden box next to the bedside to Qiao Yong's side, and the wooden box cracked the moment it touched the ground, and a large number of gross tickets fell out of it, mostly a few cents and a few corners.
The largest is ten pieces, and there is only one.
Qiao Yong couldn't understand Wang Tao's anger now, so he quickly squatted down and began to pick up the money that fell out, and counted it by the way.
It took a while to count:
"Less than fifty?
How can it be so little? ”
"Why so little?
Could it be that I am corrupt, do you think that getting married and having children, you don't need to spend money on daily life, and when the dog gets married, I still have to take twenty yuan out as a gift, plus organizing a wedding or something, it would be good to have twenty yuan left in the end, even if there is twenty left in the end, what house can they build by dividing ten yuan for the two families?
You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!
Now that there is no income at home, and everything is in public ownership, I really can't live this day! ”
Thinking of this, Wang Tao became even more sad.
She has been her housekeeper all these years, and she can't wait to break a penny into ten petals, marry a daughter-in-law to her two sons and six grandchildren, and she didn't say that she starved to death during the great famine, is it so easy?
Who knows her bitterness over the years?
"You...... Don't cry, I'll talk to my mother at night, I'll tell you, if my mother doesn't want to, forget about it, don't mention it again! ”
Qiao Yong saw his daughter-in-law sitting there slumped and crying, and he was helpless, so he could only promise.
However, at this time, Wang Tao was completely immersed in his difficult days over the years, and on the door that was not understood by others all these years, so he only cared about crying, and didn't hear what Qiao Yong said at all.
That night, or in the evening, before the sun had set, their village had already finished work, and there was no dinner at the end of the day, only two meals a day, anyway, they had to go to bed at night, and it was the same to stay up until the morning.
Qiao Yong went home and drank a sip of water, then hurried out again and went to the arbor house.
Qiao Mu had just drunk a bowl of gruel here, and was about to continue to light the lamp and write, when he heard a rapid knock on the door outside the house, hurriedly put away all the things on the table, and then walked quickly to the door and pulled the wooden pin behind the door:
"Boss, what are you doing here?"
"Mother, I ......"
Qiao Yong said, unconsciously rubbing his hands, and his dark face was also embarrassed.
Qiao Mu immediately understood that there was something to say that was not easy to say, so he immediately said:
"Come on in!
If there is anything, just say it directly, if it is awkward and pinched, if you can agree to it, my side will naturally agree, and if you can't agree, it is useless to twist it again!
Go ahead! ”
With that, Qiao Mu walked in.
Qiao Yong followed, not too embarrassed to say:
"Mother, the dog is getting married, and he said he was going to get married in a brick house, and the family was too crowded......"
Qiao Mu was stunned after hearing two sentences, he originally wanted to refuse immediately, or even scold, but when he thought of the nearly thirty people in their family crammed into ten rooms, he also sighed:
"Wait for me!"
