Chapter 32: The Greatest Regret

"Sister-in-law, don't cry poor, wait for the stupid girl in the second family to send you money. I came up with this great idea, does my sister-in-law have to thank me? I borrowed six copper plates from my sister-in-law last time I caught up with the big set, so I don't have to pay them back, as a thank you gift to me. ”

"No, one yard to one yard. If you borrow money and don't pay it back, who will dare to lend it to you again. ”

Mrs. Jiang realized that she was trying to take advantage of her, and in the future, she would inevitably grasp this matter and pester herself to borrow money.

"Sister-in-law, you are so greedy, you are reluctant to make a little money, don't want to get a lot of money, I won't accompany you in this play." Jiang Sanniang turned around and wanted to leave.

"Okay, I agreed, but not for example." Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stopped her.

Hmph, I'll talk about next time next time.

Mrs. Jiang smiled smoothly, and first asked Mrs. Jiang to find out fifty texts, and she wrapped them tightly in cloth and put them in her sleeves.

She passed by Liu's side lightly, lest the copper plate make a noise.

Liu was busy working, who would have expected that the two concubines would partner up to pit her.

Jiang Sanniang entered her room, took out fifty copper plates from the closet, and put them together with the fifty in the package, a full one hundred.

It's a big handful, and she reluctantly took it out when she touched it, looking at her greed.

Jiang Sanniang held the money for a long time, and then wrapped it loosely and went out to see how the Liu family vomited blood.

At this moment, she deliberately made a noise, walked to Liu's side, pretended to accidentally drop the package, and rolled out a pile of copper plates.

"Oops, the money I gave to Jiang Shou Hexi is out, good omen, good omen! It means that the sister-in-law's family is full of money. Jiang San Niangzi laughed.

The Liu family helped pick up the money, and was surprised, how could the third family take so much congratulatory money?

Seeing that the Liu family didn't pick up, Jiang Sanniang said again, "Second sister-in-law, you said that I gave my sister-in-law 100 Wen congratulations money, is it less?" ”

"A lot, of course a lot, weren't they all ten wen before?" Liu was puzzled.

"It used to be before, and this is the last time my sister-in-law's family will get married, so let's give more. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the sister-in-law has helped our two families over the years, if we don't know gratitude, we have no conscience and will be scolded. Jiang Sanniang performed emotionally.

Liu was silent, since she got married, she didn't think that her eldest brother and sister-in-law helped her anything, and if she did, it was also a disadvantage.

Jiang Sanniang continued, "Your Dani has made so much money selling soap, and the whole village knows that our family is so poor that we can get 100 yuan, but you can't take 200 yuan." Isn't it? ”

Liu smacked his tongue: "Two hundred Wen!" Don't scare me, auntie. My family was dug up by her father everywhere, and Orange earned a few dollars, but it was not enough to fill the holes. At present, there is no coarse grain to eat, and I am waiting for the big market to buy the office tomorrow. ”

"Second sister-in-law, you are crying with me, your family is living a good life, and we can't get wet, and we can't even smell the smell of soap." Jiang Sanniang is sour.

"It's all because I was so busy spinning that I forgot to ask Orange to send you and your sister-in-law a piece of soap." Liu smiled awkwardly.

"Second sister-in-law, I don't want soap, I'm purely for your good. The three daughters of your family, no son, the water spilled by the married daughter, when you grow old, there is no one around you to serve, and no one will throw a pot for you in a hundred years.

You might as well take this opportunity to give Jiang Shou more congratulatory money, get closer to your relationship, and let your nephew be filial to you like a son. Jiang Sanniang's tone was just right.

Liu's heart was sour when she heard it, it has always been her regret that she didn't give birth to a son, and what Jiang Sanniang said was not unreasonable.

The sister-in-law has many sons, if she can really win over Jiang Shou, let alone a pass, she is nominally half of her own son, at least for herself and for Orange's father, it is also a spiritual comfort.

Seeing that the Liu family was thoughtful, Jiang Sanniang continued to exert her eloquence and asked the Liu family to take the money outside.

Liu Shi said that she was dizzy after a while.

She hesitated: "Two hundred wen is too much, one hundred wen is barely enough." But all the money Orange earned is hidden, and I don't know where it is, so I'll talk about it when she comes back. ”

"Second sister-in-law, you are a sincere person, how can you learn to deceive people. Dani is so filial to you, how could she hide money behind your back, you must know where the money is. Dani doesn't know when she will come back, if you want to send congratulatory money, send it early, which can show sincerity. No, I'm going to send it right now. ”

"You wait for me, let's go and deliver it together in the afternoon." Liu hesitated, "After Orange comes back, I'll discuss it with her first." ”

Jiang Sanniang glanced at Liu's family: "You raised your daughter, and it is natural for your daughter to earn money for you to spend, and you have to listen to your daughter's words in turn when you are a mother, won't it make people laugh off their big teeth." When she comes back, you can just talk to her. ”

"But ......"

"You are always slimy in doing things, no wonder you are scolded by the second brother, you can't be your own master. Dani's money is not for you to spend, do you have to save it to take it to your in-law's house, cheap to your mother-in-law's house? ”

Liu Shi hurriedly shook his head: "Don't say that, Orange is a sensible child, but he is obedient." ”

"It's good to be sensible and obedient, if you take the money, she won't disagree."

Jiang Sanniang smiled, struck while the iron was hot, and agitated again.

Liu's blood was boiling with encouragement, and he immediately returned to the Westinghouse to dig out one hundred and fifty pieces from the place where Orange had hidden the money last night.

She counted fifty dollars and put it down, and when she was leaving, she turned around and picked up the money.

In order to be able to entrap Jiang Shou as half a son for herself, she let it go, so she simply sent one hundred and fifty Wen.

The Liu family was afraid of falling behind Jiang Sanniang, so they preemptively gave one hundred and fifty Wen congratulations to Jiang Da Niang.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were shining, and she glanced at Mrs. Jiang San, and they both smiled proudly.

The two expected that it would be good for the Liu family to get a hundred wen, but they didn't expect to get an extra fifty wen.

Jiang Sanniang secretly thought, it was all up to her to be able to speak, and she would have to divide the fifty wen that exceeded the budget with her sister-in-law in half.

When the money arrived, Mrs. Jiang smiled and casually comforted her, implying that Jiang Shou would definitely be filial to her second uncle and aunt.

Liu was psychologically comforted, and felt that it was worth taking out so much money, so he worked harder to help Jiang Shou with the wedding.

The two people in the room covered their mouths and laughed, and Liu's idiot was fooled a few words, rushed to send money, and lied to her next time.

In the middle of the day, Jiang Cheng'er and Tao'er came back from hoeing grass in the field, and Liu's was a little apprehensive and couldn't hide his joy, and told his daughter about sending congratulatory money.

Jiang Cheng'er chuckled in her heart, she was washing her hands, rubbing it vigorously a few times, suppressing the anger that jumped to her throat and complained about her mother.

If it was really her own mother, it is estimated that she would be unable to help but complain.

Jiang Tao'er blurted out: "Mother, you are confused, why do you take so much money to others, and you don't need one hundred and fifty Wen to congratulate you, I feel sorry for me." ”

"My mother didn't give it to others, it was your cousin, your brother, we are a family." Liu Shi disagreed, "One hundred and fifty Wenshek used to be a lot, but now it's different, your eldest sister can earn it by selling soap once." ”

"Mother, the soap didn't fall from the sky, it was made by my sister. You think it's easy for my sister to make soap, but she often chokes on caustic soda and coughs, and almost gets burned several times.

The soapy paste is not formed by itself, and it needs to be stirred vigorously constantly, sometimes for half an hour. My sister's arms are tired and swollen, she never says, and hides in the bed at night and secretly endures the pain and massages herself. ”

Jiang Tao'er said with tears in her eyes, she felt pain in her eyes and heart for her sister's suffering.

"Orange, let my mother see your arm, silly boy, why don't you call us to help you."

Liu's heart was so distressed that she threw herself on the spinning machine all day long, not knowing what her eldest daughter was suffering. Seeing that my daughter is always smiling every day, I thought that soap could be made easily.

Jiang Cheng'er turned her head and kept her voice as calm as possible: "Mother, I'll just rest." My daughter should earn money for you to spend, I don't blame you for spending money, I'm afraid that you will be cheated of money. You tell me from beginning to end, and I'll take a look at it. ”

Liu Shi spoke in detail, including the conversation between her and Jiang Sanniang.

Jiang Cheng'er bit her silver teeth: "Mother, my aunt and aunt teamed up to deceive you." The aunt is so picky, she is definitely not willing to take out a hundred Wen Hexi, she is deliberately acting and deceiving you to send money. The 100 wen in her hand is likely to be made up by the two of them, and she will take 10 wen at most according to the previous number. ”

"I've been deceived, I'm ......," Ryu muttered to himself in distraction, half-convinced.

"I can find a way to get the money back, they dare to lie to you, I can't spare them, lack of morality!" Jiang Cheng'er's cold eyes narrowed carefully.

Liu hurriedly stopped: "No! Don't ask for it! They didn't lie to their mother, they were willing to give it...... To tell the truth, my mother planned to be close to Jiang Shou, and pointed to him to give my mother a pension in the future. ”

"You have our three daughters, what do you expect others to do, and the three of us will honor you and serve you well in the future, and besides, the son-in-law will also be half a son." Jiang Cheng'er knew that her mother had been brainwashed, so she persuaded her gently.

"It's different, you have to marry out and change your husband's surname after all, and Jiang Shou is always the Jiang family, and my mother is counting on him." Liu's thoughts are unshakable.

Jiang Cheng'er bit her lip: "It's a big deal, I'll recruit you an old son-in-law, as your son." And Peach, Ping'er, as long as your daughters are excellent, don't worry about no man taking the initiative to come to the door. ”

"That's still a shadow, right now your aunt is willing to Jiang Shou to be half of my son, the money is sent out, the goal is achieved, and I will have nothing to take it back."

Liu wiped away his tears, "Orange, peach, you don't understand your mother's mind, your mother doesn't have a son, it's the biggest regret in your life." ”

Jiang Cheng'er didn't know what to say, her mother's feudal thinking was deeply rooted, and she couldn't change it.

If it takes this one hundred and fifty Wen to give my mother a psychological comfort, it will be spent. There are some things that can't measure the value, but my mother thinks it's worth it, and my heart is comfortable, so it's good.

Jiang Cheng'er sighed: "Mother, I can understand your feelings, and I am willing to fulfill it, but I don't want to suffer a dumb loss." ”
