"I know, I said it at the beginning, the affairs of the family are in the hands of Tuan Tuan, and Tuan Tuan really did not disappoint me, much better than her mother." Shen Zhong was both happy and disappointed. But it's not that I don't understand my daughter's hard work.

Shen Zhong walked to the side of the bed and pulled out a small box from under the bed.

"Big brother, what are you going to do, I'll help you!" As soon as Shen Chunyun spoke, he was rejected by Shen Zhong.

Shen Zhong blew the ash on it and opened the box, "This is the box where I put the money." ”

Since the business of his own dried tofu was started, Shen Zhong has never lacked silver, and every time, Shen Tuantuan gets the account of the restaurant, he will give him the silver with a smile, saying that he wants him to keep the wine and drink. The girl is filial, Shen Zhong does not refuse, occasionally has a small drink, and the life passes quickly.

Later, Shen Zhong had already saved a lot of silver, just making a small drink, it was enough to drink for a year, and Shen Zhong was not happy to ask for silver. Shen Tuantuan still smiled and gave it to him, and said with a smile, "If my father can't use it up, he will save it for me as a dowry in the future." ”

Shen Zhong thought about it, and he must save a big dowry for Tuan Tuan. Later, he simply stopped drinking.

Single-mindedly saving a dowry for Shen Tuantuan.

Of course, Shen Chunyun knew that this was the box where Shen Zhong put the money.

Her eldest brother grew up with a penchant for keeping silver under his bed.

Shen Zhong opened the box, looked at the fragmented copper plates and broken silver in the box, and couldn't help but touch it. "This is what I promised Tuan Tuan to save a dowry for Tuan Tuan......"

"Big brother-" Shen Chunyun didn't feel good in his heart. But she really can't come up with the money now.

When she took out fifty taels of silver, Yang Pingshun was a little unhappy.

Because her family is really poor now, most of the fifty taels of silver are Yang Ankang's, Shen Chunyun said, and he saved for his daughter-in-law.

Hearing Shen Zhong's emotion, Shen Chunyun couldn't help wiping his tears. "Big brother, you don't know, I can't help it. The fifty taels of silver I brought were all earned by the boy from Ankang himself, and he said that he would keep them for him to marry his daughter-in-law. But the second brother is my own brother, and I can't ignore it, so his father just resented me in his heart, and I secretly borrowed another silver and took it out for fifty taels. Now, I really can't take out a copper plate! ”

Shen Zhong sighed. "No wonder my brother-in-law left early this morning."

These days, except for the beginning, Yang Pingshun helped Zhang Luo Shen Xiao, and in the following days, Yang Pingshun has not come back. It was only yesterday that I heard that Tuan Tuan was gone, so I hurried back and helped to find Tuan Tuan together. Waiting for this morning, Yang Pingshun left without saying hello.

"You asked your brother-in-law to give out the money last night?" Shen Zhong didn't have to think about it to know Shen Chunyun's temperament.

Shen Chunyun had a quarrel with Yang Pingshun yesterday, Yang Pingshun asked Shen Chunyun to leave things alone, the silver had already been sent inside, and he could only obey the fate of heaven if he didn't do it. Shen Chunyun didn't like Yang Pingshun like this, and said noisily that they could have today, also because of the help of her mother's family. Let Yang Pingshun not forget Ben!

Yang Pingshun was annoyed, the affairs of the Yang family were enough to make him upset, but Shen Chunyun was still making trouble, Yang Pingshun put down the words, it was the eldest brother's family who helped their family at the beginning, not the second brother! Now that fifty taels of silver have been taken out, is it not enough? Do you have to be accompanied by your own family?

Yang Pingshun was annoyed, so he scolded. What a big face Shen Xiao and Liu are faces!

Shen Chunyun was not convinced, and the two quarreled, so before dawn, Yang Pingshun left.

Shen Zhong looked at Shen Chunyun's ugly face and knew that it was probably a quarrel. "You just have to be strong, your brother-in-law's temperament is soft, you can make him annoyed, I guess it's you who are wrong. Don't stay at home anymore, hurry back to the city and live a good life with your brother-in-law. How can you stay at your mother's house every day?

If the second brother's family doesn't make it, is it possible that your family doesn't want it? ”

Shen Zhong is a doorman at this time, and these words are all said by Shen Tuantuan in Shen Zhong's ear recently, intentionally or unintentionally. Originally, he wanted to persuade Shen Zhong that he would not ignore Shen Xiao, but he would not go bankrupt to manage Shen Xiao. After all, this is a great crime to kill the head, and it can't be done with money. You can't just fill in a big family because of Shen Xiao alone.

didn't think about it, but today Shen Zhong used it to persuade Shen Chunyun.

Shen Chunyun's tears couldn't help but fall, "Is the eldest brother driving me away!" ”

"Hey, you, hey, you can stay if you want." Shen Zhong couldn't see Shen Chunyun crying.

Shen Zhong couldn't speak, and he couldn't persuade Shen Chunyun. gave Shen Chunyun a dozen taels of silver in the box. "You can take it and see what else you can use. I heard that in the next few days, there will probably be a decision in the yamen. ”

Shen Chunyun didn't push the silver away, and let Shen Zhong stuff the silver into her hand.

"Okay, hurry up and take Shen Wan away, they will come back in a while, and it's hard to clean up again!"

Shen Chunyun took a dozen taels of silver, thought about it, and walked out. Shen Wan outside the door was crying, and when she heard the voice coming out, she looked up in surprise, and when she saw Shen Chunyun, her eyes couldn't stop being disappointed. "Auntie, doesn't my uncle want to see me?"

"Let's go." Shen Chunyun had already put the silver in the money bag, planning that from tomorrow, she would lead Shen Changgui to the yamen and wait for someone.

Shen Wan refused to get up, she knew better than Shen Chunyun that it was impossible for their family to earn back more than a hundred taels of silver in this life. If Shen Zhong is unwilling to take care of her family's affairs anymore, if his father and mother can't come back, what will happen to her two younger brothers? Could it be that this has become a fatherless mother? Either the more than 100 taels of silver you owe, do you want to pay it back?

Shen Changzhi is a careful person, and he remembers the silver he uses every day very clearly. is also in front of Shen Changgui, just to pay a lot of money for the yamen every day. Shen Wan had already heard his younger brother Shen Changgui talk about these things.

Shen Wan didn't even dare to think about what their family's life would be like if Shen Zhong's family didn't care about her family......

"Get up, don't embarrass your uncle!"

In Shen Chunyun's eyes, the younger generation is naturally inferior to his brothers. Although Shen Wan was called by her to compensate for it, Shen Zhong didn't want to see it, and Shen Chunyun was naturally reluctant to embarrass his brother. So, when I saw Shen Wan in the yard, I asked her to go back.

Shen Wan bit her lip, now, there is only Shen Chunyun, she must not offend Shen Chunyun!

Gritting his teeth, he still stood up from the ground and followed Shen Chunyun step by step.

When Shen Tuantuan and his party arrived at Miaojiazhai, they received the attention of the people in the village, and the children ran after the carriage. Aunt Wang watched the children run fast one by one, chasing the carriage, and Aunt Wang hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, run slowly, don't knock." ”

The village road in the village was difficult, so I simply got out of the carriage and walked slowly.

According to the memory, they walked all the way to the end of the village, looking at the thatched hut falling down, the Shen family couldn't help but sigh, this day is really ......

Old man Ning spoke more directly, "This thatched house, last year's winter snow didn't crush this house, and it can be regarded as luck." ”

"Xiao Miaozi, you're a guest at home—"

Shen Tuantuan and his party were standing outside the courtyard talking, and the boys in the village had already run to call the door.

The eldest lady came out of the house, holding a dustpan in her hand, picking beans. "Are you looking for little seedlings to play?"

"No, someone is looking for you! We've brought people here! ”

The eldest lady followed the direction pointed by the boys, and then saw Shen Tuantuan and his party.

The eldest lady's heart jumped when she saw such a group of people at first glance, and when she saw the familiar Shen Tuantuan and Ning Nanxing, she realized, "You-you are two brothers and sisters last night?" ”

Shen Tuantuan hurriedly responded, "Auntie, because it was too late yesterday, I didn't have time to come over to thank you, no, early this morning, our family has to come to see you." ”

"It's not a big deal, I don't do anything, it's just a bowl of water." When the eldest lady saw this group of people who came to thank her, she didn't know how to put her hands, hugged the dustpan, and hurriedly welcomed the people in.

When Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was at home yesterday, she heard from her old man that she might come over today from Taohuazhuang, so she paid a little attention to help entertain the hospitality.

So as soon as I heard that there was a carriage entering the village, it was still heading towards the end of the village, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law brought her daughter-in-law over to help greet her.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law took half a basket of eggs from her house, and she also knew that the Miao family had any good things, and she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to take out the things to greet guests. Her family also raised a few more chickens, and originally this half basket of eggs was kept for sale, but when she heard that a guest was coming, she gritted her teeth and took it out.

"Come in and sit down, we don't have anything to say hello to, you can sit down for a while."

Lizheng's daughter-in-law is a neat one, beckoning her daughter-in-law to move the stool to the yard, and the Miao family has a few thatched houses, where there is a decent place to sit. It's also a big yard.

The eldest lady was embarrassed, and she was relieved to see Lizheng's daughter-in-law come over with half a basket of eggs.

Shen Changzhi and Ning Nanxing led the carriage to the corner of the wall under the big tree and tied it, and moved Xie Yi from the carriage.

For the eldest mother's family, the cloth for each body, ten catties of pork, and twenty catties of rice noodles. In addition, five taels of silver were given privately.

There is less cloth for the Li Zheng family, but there is more pork, 30 catties of pork, 30 catties of rice noodles.

When the Miao family saw the things in the basket, their eyes widened in fear, even Lizheng's daughter-in-law also stammered, "This-how does this make -"

The eldest mother refused to accept it, which was much better than their family's New Year. "It's just a few bowls of water, it's not worth it—it's not worth it—"

The two families were afraid and refused to accept it.

Aunt Wang took the eldest lady's hand and sat down, "Don't be afraid of lack of things, our family almost went crazy yesterday." If it weren't for the help of the eldest mother and Li Zheng, if the two brothers and sisters were walking by themselves, maybe it would be possible to go farther and farther. At that time, there was no place for us to cry. It's also a good thing to help our family send back the two of us overnight, otherwise we really don't dare to think about it at night. ”

The two families still refused to accept it, and Aunt Wang lowered her face and pretended to be unhappy, "If you still refuse to accept it, do you think our Xie Yi is thin?" That's it, let's go back and buy some more, and come back again! With that, he was about to leave.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law has seen a few scenes, and yesterday she knew from Li Zheng's mouth that the Shen family was the first to make dried tofu in Jiangxia City. Li Zheng's daughter-in-law figured out that the Shen family really didn't take these Xie Yi to heart, so they accepted it with a thousand thanks.
