Chapter Seventy-One: Silver in the Sleeve

"It's okay, your eldest brother lives in Mr.'s house, they don't know." Chen Qiao'e wasn't worried about Tian Qingyang, "What did your grandmother say about this?" ”

"I haven't said it yet." Glancing at the father who pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, Tian Qingan said, "But I think the separation is certain, anyway, my father has no use value!" ”

Tian Dazhuang glared at the little girl resentfully, did you say that about your father?

"I'm telling the truth!"

Pea suddenly jumped out of bed, threw herself into Chen Qiao'e's arms and cried, "Mother, split the family, they are all bad people, they want Pea to die, they want the second sister to die, and they have to-"

Secretly gave Pea a look, didn't you see that Daddy's face was white?

Pea couldn't see it in his mother's arms, Tian Qingan had to interrupt him, "The second uncle's brain is not very good, she may want to help the second uncle, and deliberately make the matter serious, what a killing, Zhulian Nine Clans, Peach Blossom was frightened, so why don't we die, I don't want to be implicated, I have no brains, listen to the wind and rain." ”

"Don't be afraid, peas are not afraid, my mother is here, no one can bully peas......" Pea was really frightened, her tears couldn't stop, her little body trembled like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, Chen Qiao'e comforted her for a long time before she was tired of crying and fell asleep in a daze.

Tian Dazhuang carried the pea into the inner room to sleep.

"Okay, what should you do, no matter if you are separated, it doesn't matter if you don't split up, your father and mother won't let you sleep on the streets." Chen Qiao'e glanced at her daughters with worried faces.

……

"Where are you going? Come back! The second uncle, Li Shi, grabbed Tian Lao Er, who pushed open the fence door.

"What are you doing this mother-in-law, I went out to buy a piece of tofu, my mother said to stew tofu at noon!" Tian Lao Er said and secretly tightened his sleeves.

"What's the hurry, there's a lot of tofu, it's not in the way if you go late for a while!" Li dragged Tian Lao Er into the east wing room.

The door closed, and Li Shi approached Tian Laoer, "How much is left?" ”

"How much is left?" Tian Lao Er looked at her puzzled.

Li slapped Tian Er's back, Tian Lao Er's teeth grinned in pain, "Stinky mother-in-law, you want to kill your man as a widow?" ”

"Don't assume that I don't know, my mother gave five taels of silver, what about the rest?"

"It's gone!"

"Fart!" Li's hand holding the handkerchief tapped Tian Laoer's head fiercely, "Hurry up and take it out for the old lady, no one is allowed to be less, otherwise the old lady will make you look good!" ”

Tian Lao Er took out a silver longevity lock, Li snatched it, and saw that the front of the longevity lock was two words 'wealthy', and the back was a cute little tiger.

"How much does this cost?"

"Three or two!"

Li Shi twisted his eyebrows, "Three taels, why do you take it?" ”

Nonsense, can the hollow one not be light?

"I bought it in the capital, everything is expensive, it is said that it is carved by the master, it is much more expensive than the side one, and this is for our eldest grandson, of course, it is the best, our grandson is promising!"

Li pouted, you know it before it was born?

"What about the rest?"

"It's gone!" Tian Lao Er's face was sincere, "Daughter-in-law, do you know how expensive things are in the capital, a big meat bun costs four copper plates, a white-flour steamed bun costs two copper plates, I and my eldest brother are reluctant to eat, so I bought a meat bun and tasted it, the next day all day I and my eldest brother ate a night of somen noodles, all twenty copper plates, stay in the store at night, we sleep in a big shop, good guys, fifty people sleep together, almost crazy, just this one person has thirty copper plates, plus we can't give some money to inquire about the news, I brought some good tobacco for my father, bought some candy and snacks for those children, and one copper plate was gone, and I also pasted two copper plates upside down! ”

"And what's in your sleeve?"

"Sleeves? What's the sleeve? Tian Lao Er flicked his sleeves, "Nothing." ”

When there was a bang, something fell to the ground, and Li quickly rushed over to pick it up, a palm-long peach wood hairpin, "Hairpin?" Where are you from? ”

was stared at viciously by his daughter-in-law, Tian Lao Er rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Daughter-in-law, you found out...... Don't, don't, you listen to me first, I bought it for you on purpose, I don't believe you asked the boss to go, he also bought a similar one for my sister-in-lawβ€”β€”"

"I bought it, so you still hide it and don't give it?" Li Shi took his hand away, and Tian Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, "Daughter-in-law, isn't this trying to surprise you?" I was going to give it in the evening, so we two ...... Like it, I specially picked the osmanthus for you. ”

"Okay, how much?"

"Ten copper plates!"

"What's so expensive? Don't know how to buy a cheap one? ”

"What's cheap to buy, this is for my daughter-in-law, if I don't have no money, I'm going to buy you a silver to wear, my daughter-in-law is so good-looking, you have to wear silver!"

"Count you as acquaintances!" Li Shi glanced at Tian Er, "Okay, hurry up and hand over the rest of the money, I'm going to cook later, I don't have time to grind with you." ”

Tian Lao Er complained bitterly, "Daughter-in-law, I really have no money!" You've also seen it, how can there be anything left of such a young and old thing? ”

Li snorted, "If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, right?" ”

Scooped up Tian Laoer's sleeve and took out a silver ingot from it, "Finished spent?" What is this? ”

Li Shi stuffed the silver ingot into his mouth and took a bite, locked it into the cabinet, and Ming'er and Xiaofang went to the town to buy the osmanthus paste that they were optimistic about last time.

Tian Lao Er looked confused, what, how did he find it?

……

Today, it is the Li family who cooks, and the atmosphere at home is not very good, so this lunch is uncomfortable.

Only Tian Qingan and Tian Dazhuang came out to eat, and Pea was frightened by the peach blossoms, and after waking up, he had a fever and was left at home.

After eating, Tian Dazhuang was called to the hall by Old Man Tian, Tian Qingan went to Aunt Chen's house to get rice, waited a little longer, and made more egg custard and white porridge for peas.

After crossing the river, I went to the small grocery store in the village and weighed half a catty of soju.

When I got home, I didn't care about eating, so I wiped the peas with soju first, and fed the rice again, don't look at the wilting people, the appetite is as good as ever, a bowl of egg custard and a night of white porridge, and I fell asleep again under the quilt after eating.

When I woke up in the afternoon, I was alive again.

Dad came back before dinner, "It's decided, split up, but I don't think there will be much to divide." ”

Chen Qiao'e asked, "Do you give the land a share?" ”

"Points, the house can be choked."

Chen Qiao'e nodded and didn't say much, no matter how bad Old Man Tian and Mrs. Tian are to them, they are also Tian Dazhuang's mother-in-law, it is impossible to calculate so clearly, and the other is that the family's money is in addition to the ten taels given every year, Tian Dazhuang's remaining wages, the rewards from above, the usual rewards, including the money for opening a shop at home, are all in her hands, and she really doesn't look at the more than 100 taels that add up.

"Daughter-in-law, I've wronged you."

"I'm not wronged, you just don't grieve the children."

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I have already looked at a house in the afternoon, and when the family is divided, we will move over, it is not as good as a brick house, but it is also clean."
