Chapter 61: The Strange Liu Wanli
"What! Ten runs! ”
Grandma Liu and Wang, the most incompatible mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, exclaimed in unison at this time.
Grandma Liu is purely distressed about money.
The Wang family is different, she regards the entire Liu family as their big house, and she is not willing to spend a penny more on the second and third rooms, let alone a full ten yuan.
Ten dollars, in fact, it is not too much, but it is really a lot to say less, just look at whom.
Nowadays, the price of handicrafts is generally high, like a copper mirror costs two dollars.
Therefore, in the eyes of the rich and powerful, Shiguan is really nothing.
But for ordinary farmers, ten times is a huge amount of money.
For example, peasant households with moderate conditions generally have about 40 acres of land, most of which grow grain, and a small part is used as mulberry fields, and trees are planted in front of and behind the house, and the trees can also be sold for money.
In a year, 54 stone millet and 4 silk horses can be harvested, and the trees can not be sold for a lot of money every year, but they can also have 800 yuan a year.
If these are converted into money, the output value of agriculture alone will be about seven or eight yuan.
In addition, men do some short-term work during the slack time, and women raise some poultry and livestock, and the annual income of an ordinary medium-sized peasant household can still reach nearly 10 yuan.
The Liu family has sixty acres of land, as well as Liu Qianli's income as a carpenter, Liu Baili's income as a wine doctor, and an annual income of twenty yuan is absolutely no problem.
But Liu Wanli has to study, pay taxes, and consume food and clothing for the whole family, but they all have to spend from these twenty yuan.
Therefore, the Liu family is busy all year round, and it is already very good to be able to save two or three times.
Now Liu Baili owes ten times of money for trouble outside, and Grandma Liu is the most partial to her third son, if she is willing to give the money out, how can her son go to school?
At this time, the Wang family became extremely shrewd, estimated the approximate family background, and preemptively said: "Third uncle, when you were out earning black money from selling news, you didn't hand over a single child to your family!" Now that something has happened, don't think about the family paying for you! ”
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that!?"
Ten times the money, their husband and wife can't take it out even if they take it out!
If you don't rely on your family to pay it back, isn't this going to force them to death?
Xiao An's no longer cared about expecting Dafang to pull her son to study, and tolerated the Wang family everywhere.
If the men are gone, their family will be scattered, then what book are they going to read!?
Xiao An's replied immediately: "The widow yesterday, outsiders don't know, but our own family knows that it was caused by the uncle!" Ah Weng's family also lost a whole amount of money for this! ”
"Something happened to the eldest brother, and the family is responsible for it! Something happened to our Saburo, why shouldn't the family care!? ”
"And the uncle is in his thirties, have you ever earned a penny at home? Not only do you rely on your parents and brothers to support you, but your family depends on us! ”
"Over the years, the flowers have only been ten times! I'm afraid there are hundreds of them! ”
She Xiao An's is not a vegetarian, if she wants to find something to say, she can say that it is not the same for a day and a night, and if she has the ability, they will come to turn over the old accounts.
In this matter, the Wang family is indeed not straight, but she is not stupid, she will not use this to quarrel with Xiao An's family, and only said to the old couple of the Liu family: "Ah Weng, Ah Jia, don't forget, whether the husband can pass the exam next year, it will depend on the qualifications of the official school after the autumn, and this gift will be indispensable at that time." ”
The Wang family can indeed speak, and his words immediately hit the nail on the head and strangled the lifeblood of the old couple of the Liu family.
Uncle Liu was the first to lose his breath and asked: "Boss, the third child has no gambling debts, and now they have beaten people, and they are angry." If you don't give this ten times of money, it should be fine, right? ”
It's really "everything is inferior, only reading is high".
Even if Liu Wanli has never earned anything at home, and he has caused such disgraceful things as a pretty widow, once there is something at home, the first person to ask is him, a scholar.
When Liu Wanli saw his words, he first said that everyone was stunned, and at this time he was even more expected to think of a way, and he couldn't help but feel proud, but he still sighed on his face, and said: "Aya, I also hope so, but the people in the gambling house have said that if they don't pay it back within three days, they will come to the door." ”
"What then? Ten times the money, where can we get it together for a while! Grandma Liu knew her family's background, so she sat on the ground and cried.
Liu Wanli glanced at his wife.
Heart, the old lady really loves the third child.
Looking at Aye's meaning, it is obvious that she is not going to pay money, but A-Niang is still thinking about raising money.
If this matter is changed to the second child, A-Niang will definitely have the same attitude as A-ye.
Fortunately, this matter is spread on the third child.
Liu Wanli was a little proud again, so he continued to threaten without thinking: "If you can't make it, you have to make it, and when they come to the door, it's not just the third child's business, I'm afraid that all of us will suffer." ”
"That's not going to work!"
Wang thought of Liu Baili's half-crippled appearance, and thought of the second room yesterday to break up, so she hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said: "Ah Weng, hurry up and divide the third room, don't let them burden everyone!" ”
Liu Chenxing was also curious.
In the past, with her Aya on top, it was not the turn of the third uncle to do unfair things.
Now that the matter has fallen directly to the third uncle, how will the old couple of the Liu family choose?
But without waiting for the old couple to express their opinions, Liu Wanli unexpectedly scolded: "Wang, stop it!" ”
"The third siblings are right, thanks to the support of my parents and brothers for so many years, I have been able to continue my studies. Now that the third brother has suffered a disaster, how can we stand idly by? ”
What the?
What is Uncle talking about?
Liu Chenxing was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't react a little.
As a pillow person, Wang was more direct and said, "Husband, what are you talking about!?" ”
Liu Wanli didn't seem to notice the strangeness of everyone, and still looked like he was affectionate and righteous, and said: "Aya, I was deceived by that widow for a while, and I have already caused my second brother to suffer such a stigma for this, I am sorry for my second brother, and I can't let my third brother chill anymore." Therefore, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will also raise this ten yuan for the third brother! ”
Liu Baili is a shrewd person, and he is also surprised that Liu Wanli did not stand idly by, but when he heard Liu Wanli want to raise money for him, although he was still strange in his heart, but in the end, affected by today's catastrophe, people are more impulsive and susceptible, and he was unconsciously moved: "Brother......"
Liu Wanli stopped and said, "You and my brother, no need to be polite." ”
In order to drag down the whole family by one person, Uncle Liu still hesitated.
Grandma Liu knew Uncle Liu best, and as soon as she got up from the ground, she hurriedly said, "The boss is willing, what are you hesitating about!?" It's a big deal to take out my grandma's coffin too! ”
knew that his wife was reluctant to suffer the third child, so Liu Wanli echoed: "My brother has suffered a disaster, but I, as a brother, have stood by and watched. ”
It turns out that I still think about myself, which is like an uncle.
Liu Chenxing nodded thoughtfully, temporarily suppressing the strangeness in his heart.
What Uncle Liu cares about most is that his eldest son is studying and becoming an official, and when he heard it, he finally nodded and said: "The third child has resold the news over the years, and he should have saved a lot of private houses, and now I won't pursue it, you will find a way to raise it first, and I will look at the rest of it." ”
