In the end, Chen Linmu still took one or two halves, although he got the money, Chen Linmu's face was not good.

It must have been because he made countless wishes to the rest of the Chen family and said countless good words before he got the money.

And the faces of the rest of the Chen family are even worse, one or two halves of silver, which is enough for the family's expenses for half a year.

At night, Chen Linying was smoking cigarettes one by one, and Huang was sulking on the side.

"Master Chen is really generous today, he took it out without blinking an eye or two, you go to the box to see, there are still a few copper plates left in the house, just that, the second family is still looking at it, if there is one less copper plate, I will have to fight with you."

Huang couldn't help but complain after all.

"What do you woman know?" Chen Linying frowned and said, he also regretted it a little at the moment, it was one or two halves.

Huang turned around and said to Chen Linying: "Master, you said that the third child can really be admitted, if you can't pass the exam, won't the money be spent in vain?" ”

Chen Linying's heart jumped, and this was also the result that he had never dared to think about: "What nonsense, the gentlemen of the academy have said that the third child's ability will be successful." ”

Huang Shi seemed to put down his snack again when he heard this, and then said: "You said that your father, you won't die sooner or later, if you wait for the third child to die before you die." ”

"What are you talking about? If this word spreads, will our family still be a man? Chen Linying knocked on the cigarette gun, and then said with a long sigh, "If the third child passes the exam before his father leaves, then he can't wait to break it off with us." ”

This is the status quo, Chen Linmu can't do without the support of the second room of the Chen family's big house, and the second room of the Chen family's big house is also reluctant to be prosperous and rich in the future.

In the second room, Chen Linwei and Li were also discussing this topic.

"If you want me to say, you shouldn't give the money to the third child today." Li muttered, "Let's eat bran at home, the third child goes to the restaurant with his classmates from time to time in the town, and the big fish and meat can be brought back to us if you can't finish eating." ”

Chen Linwei knew that her mother-in-law only had a heart for eating, so she said: "If the third child is middle, you can't eat as many big fish and meat as you want." ”

"Really?" Li Shi was pleasantly surprised.

"Dad, I want to eat meat too." Chen Mansheng didn't fall asleep, he kept listening to his father and mother, and couldn't help but say when he heard the big fish and big meat.

Chen Linwei scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, wait, when the time comes, no one will be indispensable to you." ”

"Dad, why do I always think that even if the third uncle wins, he doesn't want us to live a good life with him." Chen Manqing said softly.

When Li Shi heard this, he exploded: "He dares, and he doesn't want to think about who provided for him." ”

Chen Linwei was impatient: "After living for so many years, why don't you understand it as well as our daughter, just the slippery head of the third child, I still don't know him, don't worry, I have a way to treat him." ”

········

Two flowers bloomed, one branch each, not to mention the Chen family, just said that Chen Linmu took the silver and returned to Qingniu Town.

He was also full of unhappiness, thinking that when Chen Baosheng was still alive, when he went home, he didn't kill chickens and fish, and he gave money simply, for fear of wronging himself.

Chen Linmu, who was unhappy, decided to go to the town to eat something good to treat himself.

The Luo's mutton soup in Qingniu Town is a must, Chen Linmu ordered a bowl of mutton soup and sat down.

I just heard a person dressed like a merchant next to me talking like a river.

"The youngest son of Master Cui of Cuijiazhuang had an emergency last month, and he didn't see any good doctors in Qitong County, no, Mrs. Cui wanted to find a little girl to give her son Chongxi, and found a famous matchmaker Zhang in ten miles and eight townships to talk about it."

The person next to him listened: "If the little master of the Cui family is washed well, everything will be fine, if this is not good, this little girl will go into the soil with the little master of the Cui family, who is willing to let his daughter go to Chongxi." ”

The merchant shook his head and said, "You don't know this, the Cui family has this number." ”

As he spoke, the merchant stretched out five fingers, and the person next to him was stunned and said, "Five, fifty taels." ”

The merchant nodded slightly, and the people next to him gasped.

Fifty taels, one acre of good land is only five taels of silver, and these fifty taels are enough to buy ten acres of good land.

Chen Linmu secretly remembered the merchant's words in his heart, and left the restaurant after eating the mutton soup and leaving a few copper coins.

······

Chen Xiaoshu was sweeping in the yard, and an obese middle-aged woman came in the yard, and as soon as she came in, she looked at Chen Xiaoshu directly, and the eyes that looked at the goods made Chen Xiaoshu feel uncomfortable.

"Yo, why did Mrs. Zhang go to my house today?"

Huang was surprised when he saw the visitor.

This person is a matchmaker, Chen Xiaoshu glanced at her more, but he didn't think much about it, Chen Mancang is eleven or twelve years old this year, although it is a little earlier to discuss relatives now, but it is not without it in the Zhuang family.

"What are you looking at the dead girl, don't pour a cup of tea for Aunt Zhang."

Obviously, the Huang family also thinks so, so he is particularly attentive to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang nodded reservedly, her eyes fell on Chen Manxiu, who was making clothes, and praised Huang politely.

Chen Xiaoshu went into the upper room to bring them water, and noticed that Mrs. Zhang's eyes kept falling on her, so she quickly left the house.

Mrs. Zhang talked with the Huang family for a long time before leaving, and no one knew what they talked about, even Chen Manxiu was sent out.

At night, Huang had a smile on his face all the time, which made people even a little cautious.

Huang's eyes fell on Chen Xiaoshu, gave her a blank look and said, "Dead girl, don't pretend to be sick at home when you're well, and go up the mountain to hunt pigweed for me from tomorrow." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Chen Xiaoshu sighed in his heart, he couldn't be lazy anymore, but he still agreed with a smile on his face.

Huang saw the Li family who came back from outside holding melon seeds, and he was angry, thinking of what Zhang Matchmaker said today, he regretted in his heart how good it would be if he divided the family, he would be able to monopolize the twenty taels of silver, and now half of the twenty taels are in the second room: "Li, where are you going to chew your wife's tongue, you can't see anyone day by day, and you can't install nails under your feet." ”

Li had just finished a short time with other people's parents, and it was a happy time, and he didn't care much when he heard Huang's accusation: "Sister-in-law, it's time to eat." ”

These words made the Huang family angry, and this stupid woman had a heart-eating eye.

"Come in for me, I'll have something to say to you."

Huang Shi suppressed his anger and beckoned for the sake of twenty taels of silver.

"Man Qing, you dead girl who has no eyesight, I didn't see your mother come back, take this back, don't think about stealing it."

Li shouted into his room.

Chen Manqing came out with a gloomy face and took the melon seeds, turned around and went back to the house.

Li scolded his daughter's back a few more times, and then went to the upper room: "What's the matter, sister-in-law." ”

After listening to Huang's words, Li slapped his thigh and said, "Our Chen family has raised her for ten years, and it can be regarded as her repaying us." ”

Huang smiled, knowing that Li would definitely not object: "Then this matter is decided." ”
