Shen Cuini and Xiao Wan were sitting in the house, and when they heard the noise in the yard, the former ran to listen to the corner of the wall, and stuck out her head to peek, and after a while, she turned her head and gossiped, "Mother, that fat pig quarreled with the lotus flower of the third aunt's mother's house, and the milk was also scolding her." ”

Xiao Wanshi was still lying on the kang after eating at this time, except for her blue nose and swollen face, but she was just stuffy, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart.

Hearing her daughter's words, Xiao Wan's face was disdainful, and she said hatefully, "Your grandmother treats your third uncle's children as eyeballs all day long, and she definitely doesn't want others to bully them, even if it's that fat pig." ”

Shen Trini pursed her lips, jealous in her heart, and her tone was sour, "Mother, my milk used to hurt me the most." ”

In the past, when Shen Shuisheng's family did not come home, the Wan family valued Shen Cuini the most, and what they talked about all day long was that they hoped that she could marry and enjoy happiness in the town.

Looking at the present, I don't know when it became like this, and she no longer cares about any good things, and even takes her mother to start working, Shen Cuini feels more and more unbalanced in her heart.

When Xiao Wanshi heard Shen Cuini's words, he turned his head to look at her, got up and reached out to poke her forehead, and scolded aggressively, "You said that I Wan Hongxing has been smart all my life, why did I give birth to such a fool as you?" If it weren't for you being so unproductive, would your milk not treat you as an eye ache? See, right? If that fat pig can still earn some money for the family, it is estimated that her status in your milk heart will be higher than yours. ”

Shen Cuini covered her forehead, pouting unconvinced, but she was dissatisfied with her words, and Xiao Wanshi saw that she was getting more and more angry, but she didn't have the strength to scold her and beat her, so she had to sigh.

"Alas, I've been learning to embroider cloth with the embroidery girl for so long, why haven't you grown at all? That Xiaoyun can sell handkerchiefs in the silk village, and then look at yourself, embroider a mandarin duck like a wild duck, and no one wants to take it out and give it to others. ”

Shen Cuini retorted unconvinced, "Mother, where is the veil so easy to embroider?" That was the proprietress of the Silk Village that Xiaoyun's family knew, otherwise she wouldn't have the ability to sell handkerchiefs there. ”

Xiao Wan didn't bother to listen to her defense, "Anyway, Xiaoyun has the ability, even if she looks like a tiger, I see that her craftsmanship is excellent, and she may not be able to marry in the town when the time comes." Your grandmother is now paying more and more attention to the fat pig, and it is peach gum and pepper, so that your grandmother has sold a lot of silver, but looking at the silver in our hands, it must be a little. You are the same as your mother and me, but the lowly grass has no weight. ”

Thinking like this, Xiao Wanshi wiped away his tears aggrievedly and said bitterly, "I don't know when your father will be able to take our mother and daughter to the town." I can't count on your brother Shi anymore, see the sky behind the fat pig and the little mute, your brother is the most filial to your grandmother, I guess I don't have to worry about his marriage in the future. ”

Shen Cuini glanced at her mother, she clearly saw the stone coming home with firewood on her back today, why couldn't she expect it? She pursed her lips, thinking that she would listen honestly, or she would definitely be scolded.

Xiao Wan nagged a lot again, and Shen Trini was annoyed, so she didn't pay attention to it at all.

The man of the Shen family came back outside, there was a sound in the yard, Shen Shuang had not slept in the house, he had just written a two-page story, and at this time he was leaning on the kang to read the book, and he could hear the voice of her father calling her father and the third uncle, and it seemed that the group had entered the hall.

Shen Shuang remembered that she had sold a lot of peach gum during the day today, hundreds of taels of silver, and thought that her grandmother should be planning to let the third uncle come home and divide the silver together.

As Shen Shuang expected, Old Man Shen did have such a plan, especially while the third child was at home, so that the younger son could get the silver, the Shen family did not divide the family, and the silver obtained from working together was shared by the whole family, and he didn't care whether he worked together or not.

"Today, the eldest is here, although the second is not there, the pillar will replace your father, the third is also there, Chun Tao will marry in the future, her share, you will give it to you again in a while."

Shen Shuisheng was a little confused, but he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, and squeezed out a calm smile on his face, "Dad, what is this to discuss?" The second brother is not here, I think it is better to wait for him to come back, right? ”

Shen Shuisheng felt that this situation was not appropriate, this battle seemed to be about to split up, but he didn't want to split up, otherwise it would not be his father and mother who would give him silver flowers from time to time, but that he would support his father and mother.

Although Shen Shuisheng is very filial to the two elders of Shen and Wan, it is also based on a certain foundation, he lives in the town, and sometimes he will conflict with the Wang family.

He has a high spirit, and the Wang family has always been unwilling to bow his head and admit defeat, so although the two of them have lived happily for more than ten years, if they are really separated, he has to study every day, and it is estimated that he will not be able to earn money to subsidize the two elders in the family, so there will definitely be more conflicts.

Wan Shi sat aside, and when he heard Shen Shuisheng's words, he didn't know what he was thinking, but felt that the younger son was thoughtful, "Third brother, your second brother won't come home during this time, he has food and shelter in the town, and he doesn't have to worry about it, the pillar is bigger, and he can replace your second brother." ”

Wan's words made Shen Shuisheng feel more and more uncomfortable when he heard it, but he also smiled and didn't say anything more, which made his heart more and more unreasonable.

Shen Musheng didn't know what was going on, and Shen Zhuzi was even less clear, he worked in the fields every morning and evening, and others didn't think so much, so naturally they wouldn't think much about it.

Shen Musheng felt that he was the elder brother, and when he saw that the third brother and nephew were confused, he spoke, "Dad, mother, what are you two going to say?" ”

Old man Shen and Wan Shi glanced at each other, and then the latter got up, opened the bulging baggage on the table, revealing the silver ingots inside, a total of sixty taels, except for the twenty taels of silver specially exchanged from Jiang Zipei's hand today, the rest of the forty taels were taken out from the small treasury that Wan kept in his hand.

Old man Shen didn't plan to divide all the hundreds of taels of silver equally, although the eldest son Shen Musheng knew how much silver he sold peach gum, but he also knew that this eldest son was honest and didn't care about it.

Seeing that his second son was not there, he felt more and more that it was best to divide the silver tonight, and the eldest grandson didn't have so many eyes, and as for the daughter-in-law, it was best not to be there.

"You also know that selling peach gum these days, our family still makes a lot of silver, today, while the third child comes home, let's divide this silver."

Shen Musheng and Shen Zhuzi didn't speak, but Shen Shuisheng was very surprised, he only knew that his family was doing business with Yunlailou, thinking that he could only earn a few hundred yuan, no matter how much it was, it was only a few taels of silver, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't plan to ask more, how much his family could earn by digging in the ground, in fact, Shen Shuisheng knew it in his heart.

As for the Wang family, it is not a family that lacks those few taels of silver, as far as the long gown worn by the literati on his body is now worn, it was specially ordered by the Wang family in the tailor shop, and it can cost several taels of silver.

But Shen Shuisheng saw that his father and mother who were picky about the door were silent, and directly took out sixty taels of silver, proving that the peach gum was sold for more than sixty taels, at least twice the amount of silver.

Shen Shuisheng suppressed the surprise in his heart, "Dad, what is that peach gum?" How can it be sold for so much silver? ”

When Wan Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little complacent, "Look at what you said, it's just sixty taels of silver, in the future, our family will continue to do business with that Yunlailou, next time you come home, maybe we can build a new house next to our house, your father and I are thinking about a few new houses, when the time comes, if you are admitted to Xiucai, who is in it, you can also be decent." ”

Wan Shi said happily, Shen Musheng on the side didn't feel anything wrong, he always knew that his mother loved the third brother the most, and hoped that he could have a good future, and Shen Zhuzi didn't react anymore, his temperament was not as smooth as Shen Tusheng, but he was somewhat similar to Shen Musheng.

New house? Shen Shuisheng subconsciously looked at his father, Old Man Shen was smoking slowly, but that expression showed that he also thought the same way, as for Shen Musheng, he didn't know about the house, but there was money in the house, and there were many people, so it was nothing strange to start a new house.

Shen Shuisheng felt that he was the one who made the most fuss, so he put his mind down, and he said seriously, "Since this is the case, there is no need to divide this silver, right?" Daddy and mother still put away the silver and start the house when the time comes, I don't lack silver flowers in the town, big brother, what do you think of the pillars? ”

Shen Zhuzi was the first to nod, "I listen to grandma." ”

Shen Musheng also agreed, "Look at what my father and mother mean." ”

There are hundreds of taels of silver for selling peach gum, and these sixty taels don't seem to be nothing, if it was estimated that his reaction was also big before, but now he feels that it is nothing, and his father and mother will give it if they want to, and they will not worry if they don't give it to him.

Old man Shen nodded with a look of relief, "I'm also happy that a few of you say this, but the family is not short of this bit of silver now, and our family will definitely be better in the future, and the silver for the house will be still there for your mother, and you don't have to worry, the sixty taels will be divided equally between the three of you." The old woman gave the money to the three children. ”

When Old Man Shen said this, he was very arrogant, but he worked hard in the field all his life, and he really didn't make much money, although because of the competition of several sons, and the grandsons were also obedient, he finally earned the family business and built such a few big tile houses, which can be regarded as having some face in the village.

Although Wan felt sorry for the silver, she originally wanted to give the family ten taels of silver, which could be regarded as a bargain for them, but she couldn't resist Old Man Shen, saying that she was afraid of chilling the hearts of the eldest and second families, so she had to reluctantly agree that the family would divide twenty taels, and the rest would be saved, and she would use it to build a new house when the time came.
