Chapter 7: Courage

The Huang family has always been Jiang Nuan's housekeeper, and the Wang family can get more than a dozen dollars when she sells her purse, but she will hand it over to Jiang Nuan in a blink of an eye, and she has never gotten so many copper plates.

When she received so much money at once, her heart was about to jump out of her nervousness.

"Mother, all, all spent?" Wang asked tangledly.

A chicken is about 20 wen, two catties of meat are ten wen, and the rest can buy five catties of polished rice.

However, she was reluctant.

This is the salary that Boss Huang can only earn in four or five days, and it can take half a month to buckle the cord.

"Yes, it's all spent," Jiang Nuan thought about it, and felt that it was not enough, so he took out fifty copper plates, "Buy more polished rice, we have a lot of children, and you have a lot of money, so you must take care of it." ”

She still thinks too little, only thinking about the two girls who don't have teeth, and forgetting that this big family is old and young, which one doesn't need to be mended?

Jiang Nuan's words almost scared Wang's legs.

Buy food for a hundred dollars, how greedy is this? Speaking out can make the whole village laugh for three days.

But she also knew that Jiang Nuan was good for her family, although she was distressed as if she had cut meat with a knife, her heart was warm, and she looked at Jiang Nuan's eyes full of Mu Ru.

She knew that her mother-in-law had always been knife-mouthed tofu heart, and it was not greedy to hold the silver and not give it flowers in the past, but wanted to use it in key places.

Thinking that the family spent two taels of silver every year to buy forced labor, and no matter how hard the family was, they did not let the men serve the forced labor, and the Wang family strengthened his belief.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Listen to my mother, my mother will help me watch the child, and my daughter-in-law will buy it." ”

She can't not know what to do, her mother plans for them, she can't let her mother down.

It's still distressing, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred......

The villain in his heart will drown in his own tears, and Wang will pull out a smile.

"Go, I'm looking at the kids!" Jiang Nuan waved his hand and motioned for Wang to leave.

Huangjiakou is a small mountain village, and the town can buy and sell all kinds of things every single day, but there are hunters in the village, and you can buy some meat from there.

The village's hunter, surnamed Lin, settled in Huangjiakou three years ago and made a living by hunting and kneading furs.

Walking to a clean courtyard, Wang shouted, "Is Brother Lin at home?" I'm going to buy an old hen. ”

Hearing the voice, Lin Zhen walked out, opened the door and raised his eyebrows, "Daughter-in-law Chuanzi, do you want to buy chicken?" ”

Although the Huang family has some family background, they have a hard time, and they buy meat the size of a palm to make it alone for the old lady to eat, and it is the first time to buy chicken.

"Brother Wang," Wang explained with a smile, "my mother said that the family is losing a lot of money, buy an old hen to make up for the body, and if there is meat, you should also order it." ”

"There are no hens, only one rooster," Lin Zhen pointed to the chicken with a piece of his head inserted and explained, "There is meat, all of them are thin, do you want it?" ”

"This," Wang was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and spoke, "I want the chicken, by the way, cut two catties of meat." ”

"Okay, I'll cut your meat."

After a while, Wang went home with a chicken, two catties of lean meat, a few large bones with shaved meat, and half a cloth bag of polished rice.

Wang, who was carrying things, was apprehensive.

If I didn't buy an old hen or fat, would my mother be angry?

Will she think I'm too stupid to do this little thing?

Will you ever hate me again?

The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her heart became, and the smaller her steps into the yard became.

Back in the courtyard, she immediately ran over and confessed her mistake.

"Mother, it's all because my daughter-in-law is stupid, and I can't buy anything."

"What's the matter," seeing Wang's sad appearance, Jiang Nuan said tentatively, "Is the money lost?" ”

There wasn't much money in the first place, and if he threw another hundred copper plates, Jiang Nuan felt that he would be in pain and couldn't breathe.

"No," Wang shook his head, "my daughter-in-law didn't buy a hen, and the meat she bought was all lean meat." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay not to lose money, there is not much difference between roosters and hens, and she doesn't specifically go to the hens.

Lean meat is also good, rich in protein and very nutritious.

"It's okay, just buy chicken and meat, nothing else matters, what about polished rice? Did you buy it? ”

"There is no rice milled rice in the village, and Lin Lihu gave me fifteen catties of what he ate himself," Wang said, taking out a handful of copper plates from his arms, "Mother, these fifteen cents are left." ”

"You keep the rest yourself, keep the pocket flowers, you have been a child mother for several years, you don't have a copper plate in your hand, and you don't have an emergency turnover, what kind of thing is this."

Thinking of Wang's nervousness of getting fifty yuan, Jiang Nuan decided that she had to strengthen her courage, and took out another hundred copper plates, "You keep this hundred yuan as private money, and you have nothing to do to make a dress for Da Niu and buy a pastry or something." ”

Jiang Nuan's words shocked and moved Wang.

Huangjiakou's little daughter-in-law can only take her own dowry, and all the money that is not divided must be handed over, and she can't keep a private house.

Her dowry was taken away by her mother-in-law as soon as she entered the door, and she had long been accustomed to the days when she didn't carry a penny in her pocket.

Even if he is used to it, Wang still doesn't like it very much, he can't buy a better embroidery thread if he has no money, and the big cow who sells sugar gourds can only watch with a daze.

"Mother," Wang rubbed his red eyes, "how can you be so good?" I have been blessed for several lifetimes to be my mother's daughter-in-law. ”

It's not just a hundred dollars, what a big deal, and the kid starts crying again.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Jiang Nuan spoke, "Don't cry, put the money away, don't let people touch it." ”

She really couldn't understand why Wang reacted so much.

It's just a hundred yuan, and Boss Huang and his family earn a lot more for their family than one hundred and one hundred yuan, and they are moved like this when they only give one?

Silly and silly!

Jiang Nuan was a little worried, she didn't look at it herself, whether this child would be sold directly.

As the two spoke, the door creaked open, and Xie came back from outside.

As soon as she entered the yard and threw down the bamboo pole on her shoulder, she pulled her throat and shouted, "Mother, I'm back, I'm carrying a lot of bamboo." ”

"The second brother and sister are back," Wang suddenly smiled, "Mother, I'll go see if there's anything I can help with." ”

Jiang Nuan waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'll look at the child." ”

"Sister-in-law, is there any trouble?" Xie Shi saw Wang Shi and asked heartily.

"No, I fed half a bowl of paste today, and I slept when I was full, and I haven't woken up until now."

"Slimy?" Xie Shi's face changed suddenly, "You moved your mother's mush?" ”

Wang hurriedly explained, "Second brother and sister, my mother ordered me to do this, she said that the eldest girl and the second girl have a great deficit, and they must be taken care of." ”

"That can't touch my mother's mush," after listening to Wang's explanation, Xie's face softened a little, and his tone was still very tough, "My mother is not in good health, and her family has no money to give her medicine to treat her illness, so she can only use mush to raise her, forget it this time, don't do it in the future." ”
