Chapter 18: Ant Moves Begins
Wang Jinlian found that she couldn't get baked rice cakes from her man, so she turned her head and began to cry and beg Wu Guifang.
"Mother! Your precious grandchildren, who haven't eaten anything yet, haven't eaten anything this day! ”
"Please, mother, be kind, let my sons eat a piece too, okay?"
Hearing her say this, she found that the big cow, the second cow, and the third cow and several male babies all showed a eager expression, Wu Guifang thought about it and spoke.
"I don't have that many rice cakes here."
After saying this, Wu Guifang began to sigh.
"There are too many people in our family. As the saying goes, a half-grown kid eats a poor man. These male babies are really hard to raise! ”
"Now they eat a lot and do things, and they can't compare to us adults. In the future, our burden will be even heavier. Because these half-year-old children will marry their daughters-in-law in a few years. When the time comes, the money for marrying a daughter-in-law will add up to at least seven or eight taels of silver, right? …… Eldest daughter-in-law, as long as I think of this in my heart, I, as a grandmother, feel sad in my heart......"
As soon as she heard this, Wang Jinlian first felt a little empty-hearted. Later, she suddenly became more rational again.
As early as a few years ago, she followed the advice of her father and mother, and has been secretly instigating her man to let him break up quickly!
A big family of more than 30 people, as long as she is divided, she can be the master of her own small family.
There is no need to hand over the money earned by your own man to your parents-in-law. Everything can come as she wants.
However, at that time, her man never agreed.
Wu Dahu didn't agree to this, Wang Jinlian had been arguing with him about this matter all this time.
Wu Dahu couldn't help it at that time.
I had to tell my inner abacus to my daughter-in-law, Wang Jinlian.
In a few years, his sons will marry daughters-in-law. If he separates from his father, what advantage can he take advantage of?
He is a man, working in the field every day, working part-time outside every day, carrying on the dock, and working as a slender man, and he can't save a few dollars in a year!
That little money, Wu Dahu once calculated carefully. He found that he was barely making ends meet with the little money he earned. He is no better than his father, full of experience and well-connected. So he doesn't earn as much money as he does!
In this way, the three sons he raised by himself, their daily food, marriage, and marriage were all carried by him alone.
He can't bear this burden.
Therefore, Wu Dahu thought about letting his own father and mother carry the affairs of his own children.
When his three sons have married daughters-in-law and have children, it will not be too late for him to separate from his father and mother and his brothers!
Hearing her man say this, Wang Jinlian thought about it for several days at the time, and felt that what he said was quite reasonable.
Therefore, Wang Jinlian has been quite entangled in her heart in the past few years.
Every time she sees that her mother-in-law is not pleasing to the eye and has a conflict with her two concubines, she will think in her heart that she will quickly split up.
However, she turned her head and thought of her sons, so she had to comfort herself and wait for her in-laws to pay for her son to marry a daughter-in-law, so wait a little longer, and then ......boil it again!
Wang Jinlian has always thought like this, so when she hears her mother-in-law say that it costs a lot of money for her sons to marry daughters-in-law, she is a little unhappy in her heart.
"Mother~, you can't say that!"
"My sons have managed to raise so big, all of them are so strong, so promising, if they marry a daughter-in-law and have children in the future, they will really become adults. When the time comes, what happens to the family, aren't they the same, contributing money and efforts? ”
"Besides, it's not just my sons in this family, I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, the second brother's family, the third brother's family, and your two younger brothers' family, haven't they raised a large group of sons?"
"They're going to marry a daughter-in-law, too!"
Wang Jinlian's meaning when she said this is obvious. That is, it is not only her sons who have made Wu Hongsheng and Wu Guifang tired all the time!
So, she doesn't like to hear such things when she says them!
Wu Guifang also understood what she meant.
So, she smiled softly.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, I have thought about all these things you said before."
"The first few children in the second family, the first few children in the third family, I have a scale in my heart. You don't have to plan for me. ”
Wu Guifang has made arrangements for them until now. It's just that at this time, it's inconvenient for her to say it directly.
Thinking of the plan in his heart, Wu Guifang suddenly took out a few more rice cakes from his chest.
Then she roasted by the fire in front of everyone.
Soon, those few pieces of white rice cakes were roasted yellow. It still emits a mouth-watering fragrance.
Although Wu Hongsheng ate two rice cakes just now, he was an adult man, and that little thing was not enough for him to stuff his teeth.
Thinking of the taste of fried rice cakes that this daughter-in-law had just described, Wu Hongsheng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Daughter-in-law, we don't have any money in hand now, so don't talk about these things. Let's arrange the things at the moment, then it's called a serious matter! ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hongsheng also showed a smile. "Daughter-in-law, I plan to leave early tomorrow morning and move the big iron pot at home, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Wu Guifang couldn't wait to nod.
"Wow!"
"Very good!"
Now that they have chosen to live in a cave, where they don't have a big iron pot, how can they do it?
Life without an iron pot would have been boring.
Chinese can't do without stir-frying.
Cooking is also inseparable from cooking, frying, frying, and frying.
Wu Guifang actually understood that in ancient society, especially in poor rural areas, there was a big iron pot at home, and that life was ,...... It's all a good time!
The big iron pot is worth a lot of money!
The altars and jars at the head of the house, and the big urns where things are stored,...... These belongings are worth a lot!
Wu Guifang thought about it and said to Wu Hongsheng, "Brother Hongsheng~, early tomorrow morning, our family will move quietly, right?" ”
"Move the things in the house at the foot of the mountain if you can!"
"And we'd better not alarm anyone......"
Hearing her say this, Wu Hongsheng didn't think about it, so he nodded heavily.
"Gui Fang, that's what I planned from the beginning."
After saying this, Wu Hongsheng turned his head and began to instruct his sons and some grandchildren.
"Big Tiger, Two Tigers, Three Tigers, from tomorrow onwards, you will follow me and quietly move all the valuable things in the house."
"Besides, let's be careful not to let others notice."
