Chapter 41 Countermeasures
"My mother should have been like this a long time ago, in the past, when life was bad at home, they always came to ask for things."
At this time, Han Tongtong walked over, grabbed the corner of Qin Xiang's clothes, raised his head and said crisply.
"The reason why they dare to do this is because your father has always been willing to help them. Unless your dad figured it out, we'll have to live this kind of life! ”
Qin Xiang thought of these days, and the silver that Han Yunxiao brought back was getting less and less, and he couldn't help but think of countermeasures in his heart.
She didn't think that Han Yunxiao's ability to make money had declined, it must have been his father and mother who asked him for it.
She knew that she couldn't say anything on the surface, but she was very irritable in her heart.
"Why did you get so little money back today?"
When she was depressed, she saw Han Yunxiao coming back from outside and handing over two taels of silver to Qin Xiang's hands.
"I bought a few chickens for my mother."
Han Yunxiao replied on time, he promised not to hide Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang took a deep breath and turned his head to look at him: "They came to ask me for a few chickens today, but I didn't give them them." ”
"If there is such a thing again, you just have to say let me buy it, Zhuangzi and the chicken coop are your private property, and you decide what to do with it."
Han Yunxiao's expression was as usual, sitting beside Qin Xiang, picking up a piece of cabbage, and said lightly.
"The money you earn is also our family's income, not your own ......"
Qin Xiang put down her chopsticks, feeling that if she didn't make this matter clear, she wouldn't be able to eat at all.
"Three chickens cost four hundred pieces of silver, and they are not worth a few dollars."
Without waiting for Qin Xiang to finish speaking, Han Yunxiao raised his head to look at her, obviously not understanding why Qin Xiang wanted to be more serious.
Qin Xiang now understood that Han Yunxiao was not stupid and filial, but he didn't take money seriously, and he had no concept of money.
She should have thought about it, when it first came over, this person had sold a whole deer.
Thinking of this, she was relieved, as long as he was not stupid, it would be easy to do.
After eating, Qin Xiang checked the accounts, and then called Han Yunxiao over.
"This is the silver you have given me in the past few days, a total of six taels and three hundred and forty dollars, and you will be in charge of your own silver in the future."
Qin Xiang said, and put the silver in front of Han Yunxiao and stuffed it into a money bag and stuffed it into him.
"What do you mean by that? Didn't you say it was all about letting you take care of it before? ”
Han Yunxiao was a little puzzled, it had only been a few days since this incident, and he didn't understand why Han Yunxiao suddenly changed his hexagram.
"I keep my money for my own use, your money is for our family of four, you said you would support our mother!"
Just when he was eating, Qin Xiang suddenly thought of a countermeasure, since Han Yunxiao had no concept of money, it was better to let him take care of it himself.
Let him know where every money is spent, and how much money is not spent, and he will know that he is thrifty.
Han Yunxiao thought for a while, he did say such things, although he always felt that something was wrong.
He still put away the money bag, and when he saw that it was not early, he went back to rest.
Early the next morning, Han Yunxiao got up early and saw that Qin Xiang had already prepared the meal.
He hurriedly beckoned the two little balls, and when they had finished eating, he took the two little groups to school.
They walked to the academy on weekdays, so Han Yunxiao didn't feel any difference.
However, just as they were about to reach the entrance of the village, they suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards them.
Han Yunxiao saw clearly from afar that this person was Han Yunfeng, and when he saw him looking a little drunk, he knew that he must have gone somewhere to drink yesterday.
"If you drink less, it's not good for your body."
After all, it was his own brother, and Han Yunxiao couldn't help but persuade him.
Han Yunfeng's attention was not on his eldest brother, but on the two small balls.
"Second uncle early."
The two small groups were very polite, and after seeing Han Yunfeng, they hurriedly opened their mouths to say hello.
Han Yunfeng nodded, and asked a little curiously, "Big brother, what are you taking them for so early?" ”
"I'll send them to study at the academy, it's not too early, we have to keep going, you can go back early and rest for a while."
Han Yunxiao smelled a little pungent wine smell on his body, and said coldly.
"It's a good thing to be able to go to the academy to study, big brother, I also want Da Zhuang to study, you can help me provide for it."
As soon as Han Yunfeng heard that he was going to study in the academy, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly spoke.
He usually got used to asking Han Yunxiao for things in the name of his father, and he thought that Han Yunxiao would agree.
Who knew that Han Yunxiao frowned, shook his head and said, "You can provide it yourself, the study academy also has a lot of silver, and our family doesn't have much money to spare." ”
Han Yunxiao didn't expect Han Yunfeng to say such things directly, Da Zhuang is his nephew, not his son, why did he let Da Zhuang study?
"Big brother, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, just don't go to school, anyway, she's a girl, it's useless to read so many books!"
Han Yunfeng saw that Han Tongtong was looking at him with big eyes, and said with a smile.
Han Yunxiao couldn't help but feel bored in his heart, and his face was full of displeasure.
Han Ziyan glared at Han Yunfeng even more angrily, if the other party was not his elder, he would have scolded him a long time ago.
"No, it will naturally be good for her to read more books. It's not that you can't afford to be strong on your terms, so you can provide it yourself. ”
Han Yunxiao grabbed the hands of the two small balls, and then wanted to bypass Han Yunfeng and continue to walk forward.
"Big brother, how can you be like this, although you have split up and gone out, we are still brothers. It's just that you are asked to help provide for a child to study, you are not happy, you look down on me! ”
Han Yunfeng grabbed Han Yunxiao's sleeve, and a trace of anger flashed on his face, but when he met Han Yunxiao's cold eyes, his attitude unconsciously softened.
"Let someone else help you provide for your son, one idea is enough to make people look down on it. I should have my share in supporting my father and mother, but I don't need to support you! ”
Han Yunxiao pulled the two small balls and hurriedly walked forward, leaving Han Yunfeng standing in place with a blue face and a white face.
It wasn't until after Qin Xiang went home in the evening that he heard Han Tongtong talk about it worriedly.
Xiao Tuanzi was only a few years old, but he sighed melancholy: "Mother, Tongtong likes to read very much, and Tongtong still wants to continue reading."
Han Tongtong's face was full of anticipation, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed Qin Xiang's hand, shook it slightly, and continued: "Otherwise, when my brother leaves from studying, my mother and father are busy making money, then Tongtong will be left alone in the family, and Tongtong is afraid." ”
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the dumplings, a burst of anger surged in Qin Xiang's heart.
She really wanted to rush to Han Yunfeng's house now and give him two slaps.
"Don't worry, didn't your father agree? Even if he agrees, his mother will not agree, and his mother will pay you tuition when the time comes. ”
Qin Xiang tried his best to comfort Han Tongtong, wrapped the soft little ball in his arms, and gently comforted Han Tongtong before Han Tongtong finally put his mind at ease.
Han Ziyan stood silently beside him, Qin Xiang returned his father's money to his father a few days ago, saying that he would let him support their mother, and he overheard it.
It's just that he never thought that Qin Xiang would be willing to take the money to pay his sister's tuition, and Han Ziyan's mood was a little complicated.
After pacifying the little group, he saw Han Yunxiao coming back from hunting outside, and he didn't notice that there was anything wrong with the emotions of the two little group.
As soon as he finished eating, Qin Xiang said, "There is no rice at home, tomorrow you go to the market and buy some rice and cornmeal by the way." ”
Han Yunxiao didn't take it seriously, nodded, and went to wash up and rest.
At first, Han Yunxiao didn't feel that something was wrong, but as time passed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The silver he earned was barely enough, and after buying paper and pens for the two small groups again, there was no silver left in hand.
He looked at a silver ingot pinched in his hand with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but secretly sigh, it turned out that the silver was so unscrupulous.
Sighing and sighing, he still had to spend the last silver ingot, exchange it for a bag of salt, put the rest of the silver into his pocket, and hurried home.
Qin Xiang saw that his face was not very good, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he saw that he was holding a few pieces of broken silver in his hand, so he didn't need to ask at the moment.
He must have spent almost all the money, and he also knew that he couldn't spend money lavishly, which was a good thing, Qin Xiang naturally wouldn't say anything.
Put the salt into the kitchen, she beckoned everyone to eat, Han Yunxiao looked at the meat on the table, and was stunned for a while before moving her chopsticks to eat.
Although he also hunted game to buy money before, he never really cared about the price of pork on the market, and he never thought that if he wanted to eat meat at home every day, the cost would be so large.
Qin Xiang saw Han Yunxiao's thoughtful expression, and he was happy in his heart, it wouldn't take long if it went on like this, how to use the money in his hand.
"I'll try to catch some fish tomorrow and come back, so let's improve our food."
Han Yunxiao didn't hesitate to burst out of this sentence, and the two little groups didn't understand what it meant.
Qin Xiang really understood that he wanted to let the fish he caught not cost money, so that he could save a little frugality.
"How much money is still in your hand, if it's not enough, use mine first."
"No, it's enough!"
As soon as Qin Xiang finished speaking, Han Yunxiao's face turned red and he hurriedly spoke.
Qin Xiang nodded, and then said no more, seeing that Han Yunxiao was entangled by himself.
After thinking about the silver in his hand, he felt that it was still a little less, so after Han Yunxiao entered the mountain on the second day, he didn't come back for two days.
Qin Xiang knew that Han Yunxiao wanted to hunt a little more good-looking prey, but it was too dangerous, and she couldn't help but worry.
At this moment, the old lady walked into the door of her house with the support of Han Qianqian.
"Mother, come into the back room to do it, it's windy outside, and I'm cold."
Seeing this, Qin Xiang sighed in his heart, but he still quickly greeted him.
The old lady listened to the ironing in her heart, and it was rare that she didn't find fault, but she still pulled Qin Xiang's hand that reached out to help her to the side, and let Han Qianqian help her go.
Facing Han Qianqian's provocative smile, Qin Xiang's expression was as usual, and he turned around and followed into the house.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, where has the eldest gone?"
The old lady sat on the bed, looked at the house, and pursed her lips as if she were a little disgusted.
Qin Xiang didn't miss this expression, he sneered in his heart, but said on his lips: "Hunting." ”
