"Mother, why don't you hurt me for two sentences, and you can't be energetic?"

Li Huai complained quietly.

Qiao Ximei glared at him:

"What? I'm a mother, it's not okay to say two sentences to you? Are you embarrassed to leave here and hug me? ”

Li Huai hurriedly denied it and didn't dare to say anything more.

Cao's face was pale, and she felt her stomach twitching and her face was pale and cold sweat was dripping in pain.

Seeing her man retreating in front of her mother-in-law, she couldn't wait to beat him.

But such a cowardly thing, promised well at home, and he won't pay a penny if he bites it to death.

turned out to be in front of Qiao Ximei, just like a mouse seeing a cat, three sentences or two, and let the old lady hold it.

Not only promised to pay for it, but also for a big head!

Cao Shi was almost fainting.

But she still had to hold on, not only could she not faint, but she couldn't even reveal her distress.

Da Chu rules the world with filial piety.

If this reputation of "unfilial piety" is confirmed, not to mention that Li Huai's errand will be lost, even his son's admission to school will be affected, and his daughter will not be able to say anything good.

But the throbbing pain in my stomach didn't listen to her, and I couldn't stop it.

Qiao Ximei noticed Cao's strangeness.

also guessed that she was most likely angry because she was distressed about the money and in a hurry.

In addition, when eating dinner, Cao's was picky, picky, and disgusted, so he didn't eat well at all.

This son, I'm afraid that his stomach is burning and turning over the river and the sea.

But the stomach pain of the daughter-in-law is obviously not worth mentioning compared to the lives of several sons.

Qiao Ximei felt that she was already very kind and generous if she didn't clean up the Cao family.

At the critical moment, although she was pressed by herself, Li Huai still chose to give up the money and help her brother, and Qiao Ximei was still a little relieved.

As soon as she was in a good mood, Qiao Ximei's face also smiled:

"The second, third, fourth, fifth, how many of your brothers, the income on weekdays is collected by your mother.

But the private money you have saved, your mother has always turned a blind eye and closed one eye.

I have never opened my mouth or stretched out my hand with you.

This time, our family is in trouble.

This difficulty is related to the lives of our family, and it is not anyone's private matter.

Although the boss promised to take on the big head.

Even Sister Tao and Sister Mei will think from their in-laws.

But you brothers, too, have to pay a little.

If you can exert ten points, you can't just make nine points. You can't be that unstoppable iron rooster. ”

"Hey!" "How can that!" "Mother, don't worry!" "We're not that kind of people."

Several sons responded one after another. For a while, the atmosphere in the room was extremely harmonious.

Li Jingfu finally understood.

It seems that the daughter-in-law and herself are actually the same idea. would rather break the fortune and eliminate disasters than let his sons fight for their lives.

Li Jingfu is not very clear about the details of his family.

He never worries about accounts.

and when he had money, he gave it to his daughter-in-law and kept it. If you have expenses, you will reach out to your daughter-in-law and ask for it.

In addition to farming, he listens to his daughter-in-law everything, and he is almost a hands-off shopkeeper.

At this moment, seeing that his daughter-in-law had gathered all the children together, he also relieved his heart and sighed leisurely.

Actually, Qiao Ximei didn't intend to squeeze the children too hard.

asked Li Huai, Li Tao and Li Mei to pay for it, in fact, they just wanted them to cover up and give them a foundation.

asked the rest of the sons to pay for it, because they didn't want to get used to them not understanding everything, and they were counting on others for everything, let alone thinking that others should help them.

But she wouldn't say it directly.

Otherwise, if the children knew that she had money in her hands, they would verbally promise to do well, but in fact they would not take it seriously.

When they need to see the real chapter and go up, they should be blinded.

Except for Qiao Ximei herself, no one knew that the family background of the old Li family was actually much richer than it looked on the surface.

The income of a family (except for the long house) farming, pig raising, chicken raising, and part-time work is all received by Qiao Ximei.

Including the family foundation brought by Li Jingfu when he fled the famine, and Qiao Ximei's "dowry", all of which are in her hands.

Over the years, it has indeed cost a lot of money to buy a field, build a house, and start a family for the children.

But Qiao Ximei is used to careful calculations, and she can't wait to break a copper plate into an eight-petal flower. But where you can save it, you will never waste a cent.

Even the rations for the family are counted. It's just right, no more, no less.

It will not overeat, waste food, or starve people out of disease.

Although Lao Li's family is lean and lean, their ribs are as distinct as firewood sticks.

But if you compare it with most of the people in the backers, this physical foundation is not bad.

Therefore, although the past few decades have passed, the expenses are not small, but Qiao Ximei still has some valuable things in her hands.

Now she has two pairs of red gold and gemstone rings, three pairs of red gold shrimp whisker bracelets, eight lotus seed rice-sized pearls, and a box of small fancy silver ingots the size of a finger's belly.

It's just that the origin of these things is a little innocent. Rings, bracelets, and small silver ingots are all more distinctive.

As a last resort, she didn't dare to take it out casually and use it.

She's already planned:

This time for the conscription, she had to sell a few pieces of land on the surface, and let the children have some blood.

In private, she planned to secretly go to the county and sell the eight Dongzhu pearls for cash.

This money should be enough to cope with this wave of conscription orders.

Maybe there's a little bit of surplus.

Alas, in the end, the key lies in the conscription, which is a bottomless pit.

No one knows how much silver they need to put in it.

Those officials went to the countryside, where did they not fly?

……

Lao Li's family was already loud, and when they were talking in their own house, no one thought of guarding against anyone.

Li Yunxin had eaten dinner and found an opportunity to get out of everyone's sight.

At this moment, she was taking advantage of the cover of the night, and the birds were quietly hiding under the window, listening to the wall with relish.

Since discovering the memory of the original owner, his cognition of many things is a little unreliable, and Li Yunxin has been collecting as much information as possible.

However, at this time, the disadvantage of being a "child" is obvious.

There are many things that children ask, but adults don't say.

When talking about business, adults will also be afraid that children will not have a door to their mouths, or be naughty.

It is often like a chicken and a dog, driving children far away.

Of course, Li Yunxin was unwilling to be treated like this.

So, she snuck back. Listen to the root of the wall, and there is no burden of thought.

Listening to the movement in the house, it seems to be about to disperse.

Li Yunxin hurriedly got up, wanting to avoid before being discovered.

Unexpectedly, she had been listening attentively before, and she had been squatting under the window for too long.

When I lifted my legs, I found that her legs were numb.
