"I deliberately feigned illness to show those two brutes." Uncle Ge sighed and said.

Ge Ming didn't know why.

"Ming'er, my father was partial at that time, and he always favored the eldest and second, and he owed you too much, but I didn't expect that the two of you are the most attentive now, and I blame my father for being blind at the beginning." Uncle Ge thumped his chest.

"Dad, what are you talking about, this is what Brother Ming and I should do, you are our father, we don't support you, who will support you." Zou spoke.

"Yes, Dad, are you really okay?" Ge Ming still asked uneasily.

"It's okay, it's okay." Uncle Ge waved his hand and stopped talking.

It was almost evening, and a few people returned home, and Zou hurriedly went to cook.

After eating, it was already the willow tops of the moon.

Uncle Ge sat under the big tree in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Dad, it's so late, go back and rest, I'll wronged you to stay in Xiao Ning's room for one night tonight, and I'll let my daughter-in-law clean up the hall house when I get to it, and you will live in the hall." Ge Ming took out a cup of tea and handed it to Uncle Ge.

"Ming'er, you can get me the dress I asked you to take today." Uncle Ge took the teacup in Ge Ming's hand and said.

"Hey, Dad, wait a minute." Ge Ming turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he came out with his clothes in his hands.

Uncle Ge took the clothes and rubbed them for a long time, and finally took out a small cloth bag from somewhere in the clothes.

"Dad, what is this?" Ge Ming asked.

"This is the money that my father has saved over the years, when your eldest brother and second brother asked me to have savings, I gave them a part, they thought I had no money here." Uncle Ge carefully opened the cloth bag, and inside it turned out to be several brand-new silver tickets.

Ge Ming took a cursory glance, and there were two or three hundred taels.

"Dad, you can collect this money, and buy whatever you want to eat in the future."

"No, all this money is for you and your daughter-in-law." Uncle Ge said suddenly.

"Dad, this can't work, this is your hard-earned money, you hurry up and put it away." Ge Ming hurriedly refused.

"Ming'er, Dad owes you too much, it's useless to put this money in Daddy, Dad thinks about giving you a little two, doesn't it cost to do business?" Uncle Ge stuffed the silver ticket into Ge Ming's hand.

"Dad, we have money, you can collect this money quickly." Zou hurriedly returned the wallet to Uncle Ge.

"Ming'er, listen to Dad's words and take it." Uncle Ge pushed the money over again.

"Dad, I really can't ask for this, you take it." Ge Ming has a tough attitude.

"It's okay......" Uncle Ge saw that Ge Ming and his wife really didn't want the money, and finally put the money aside.

"A few days ago, the Zhang family boy from Liuhe Village came to me, saying that my youngest son and daughter-in-law are the real people with a heart, in fact, he didn't say it, I have also seen it in the past few years, the eldest and the second are all conscienceless, and my father regrets not being at the beginning." Uncle Ge told Zhang Jihan about finding her before and after.

"The little brother of the Zhang family also came to me, and he asked me if I would like to take my father home to live, of course I am willing, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Ge Ming said and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

I guess the older you get, the more you want to serve your parents.

In fact, all this is Liu Meiniang's plan.

Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jihan to talk to Ge Ming and Uncle Ge in advance, and asked Ge Ming if he was willing to take Uncle Ge to live at home, Ge Ming of course agreed, and said that no matter what, as long as Uncle Ge was willing to come to their house, he would be happy.

Then he asked Zhang Jihan to find Uncle Ge, and asked Uncle Ge to pretend to be sick and test the true faces of the eldest and second eldest of the Ge family.

Because Liu Meiniang had long expected that with the virtue of the eldest son, second son and two daughters-in-law of the Ge family, there were 10,000 people who were unwilling to ask for a doctor for Uncle Ge.

It doesn't matter if you go to ask for a doctor, Liu Meiniang has already agreed with the doctor in Mingchun Hall.

The doctor is benevolent, and if he sees a lot of unfilial things, the doctor will be happy to help.

"Now I can see it clearly, and I want to understand it." Uncle Ge was about to get up as he spoke, but Ge Ming quickly helped him.

"Tomorrow, you will ask someone to ask, do you want someone to start the house in Liuhe Village, although my old bones are useless, but in the early years, there are still a few close friends who went south and north, they are all craftsmen, if the Zhang family has not found someone to build a house, I will pull down the old face and shout to them. Their craft is much better than those two beasts. ”

"I know Dad, I'll ask someone tomorrow." Ge Ming said with a smile.

Although Liu Meiniang can find other craftsmen, there are more people who are more skilled than Uncle Ge, but after all, Uncle Ge has been in this industry for most of his life, even if Uncle Ge is asked to supervise the work, Liu Meiniang is very happy.

The next day, Liu Meiniang received the letter and came to Ge Ming's house with Zhang Jihan.

"Then I'll bother Uncle Ge this time, we two juniors, and there is no one in the family who can take care of things, so Uncle Ge still has to worry about it." Liu Meiniang's words are very beautiful.

"You girl is a good person, don't worry, these things are left to me, and for the sake of my old face, I guarantee that the craftsmen you find are the best."

Liu Meiniang made a look, and Zhang Jihan immediately put the things in his hand on the table.

"Then I'll bother Uncle Ge." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.

Two days later, someone sent a letter to say that all the craftsmen who built the house had been found, all of whom were familiar with Uncle Ge, or disciples of people who knew each other, a total of five people, some were good at laying foundations, some were good at architecture, and some were good at design, these people worked carefully and skillfully, Liu Meiniang was very satisfied with the craftsmen that Uncle Ge found.

As for the small workers who built the house, each craftsman brought a few people, and Liu Meiniang found a few good descendants in the same village.

After asking about the amount of materials needed to build the house, and after the deposit is paid, the new house will be built in ten days.

People in the same village were surprised when they heard that the Zhang family was going to build a house, and they came to the Zhang family one by one to inquire about the news.

A group of women sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village, eight out of ten sentences of the chat content were related to the Zhang family when they took the soles of their shoes.

"You don't know, I went to the foot of the mountain to see, that guy, how big a house he wants to build, and several acres of land have been leveled." A peasant woman said with an exaggerated expression.

"Oh my God? Such a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain, the Zhang family plans to use it to build a house? It seems that this Zhang family is indeed making money. Another peasant woman chimed in.

"That's it, I see that they can definitely make a lot of money by doing those things on the mountain, but they cover them tightly, and they don't know what is planted on the mountain, if they know, we will also plant together, maybe we can make money."

"When I saw that the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was soft and weak, I never thought that she was capable. I heard that she came up with these things. ”

"Really? That's a lot of power. The peasant women's impression of Liu Meiniang has also begun to change.

"Don't be deceived by her, just like her, she can't resist and can't lift it, and she still makes money, it's hard to say where this money came from." Zhao Guifen suddenly appeared under the tree, holding her hands, and said in a weird manner.

"Zhao Guifen, what do you mean by this? Do you know anything? Everyone became interested when they heard Zhao Guifen's words, and rural people love to listen to these rumors.

"What can I mean, don't you wonder in your hearts? How did Liu Meiniang make so much money, she is a woman, how long has it been? The houses in the family have been built, hmph, didn't you do something unseemly, aren't the women in the Hualou kiln who make the fastest money? The more Zhao Guifen spoke, the more proud she became, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that her guess was normal.

After listening to Zhao Guifen's words, the other women were silent, although they had always wanted to know how Liu Meiniang used to make so much money, but what Zhao Guifen said was really a little too much.

They all know Zhao Guifen's character, and there is no one to keep the door on her lips.

"Have you seen that?" One of the women asked questioningly.

"She runs outside every three days, but as long as she is a daughter-in-law of a white family, who goes out every day to show her face?" Zhao Guifen's words struck the hearts of most of the people present.

They are all daughters-in-law, in addition to running the house every day, they are doing farm work, Liu Meiniang's life is unimaginable in their eyes, every day they go to the county seat with an ox cart, and some of them have not been to the county seat.

"This also makes sense, but Liu Meiniang doesn't look like that kind of person."

"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts." Lotus flowers are added with oil and vinegar on the side.

"It's just, how do you know she's good? Look at her foxy energy, you know that she is not a serious person. Zhao Guifen said with disdain.

"Zhao Guifen, are you jealous that Liu Meiniang is better looking than you, so you slander people like this?" A voice came from behind the tree, and everyone turned their heads to see a girl in a blue floral dress, who looked quite delicate, but with a detached and indifferent face.

"Yo, isn't this the little widow of the Feng family? How? Did you also help Liu Meiniang speak? Zhao Guifen said with a sour face.

Zhao Guifen is also a small jasper, which is good-looking, but there are always a few people in the village who are better than her, except for Liu Meiniang, it is Liu Xiaomian, the little widow of the Feng family.

Liu Xiaomian's husband's surname is Feng, who was also a soldier, and died in battle a year earlier than Zhang Jirin, and this Liu Xiaomian is only twenty years old this year.

"Who doesn't know that your mouth can say black and white, and the dead are said to be alive, and if you don't see it, you won't spread rumors and make trouble, you are jealous of people's parents, who are better looking than you and will make money." Liu Xiaomian generally does not appear in front of people, and when her husband died, she also left a five-year-old brother-in-law, Liu Xiaomian had no children under her knees, and the old couple of the Feng family died again, and now Liu Xiaomian is guarding her own home and living with the little uncle who has not grown up.

Someone also persuaded Liu Xiaomian to remarry, but Liu Xiaomian did not agree, fortunately, Liu Xiaomian's husband was also a captain in the army, so the pension was extraordinarily more.

It is not a problem to raise the little uncle of the Feng family peacefully.

And Liu Xiaomian embroiders well, and he usually embroiders what he usually takes out to sell and sells it, and he can also earn some money to subsidize his family.

Most of the people in the village have a long tongue, and they take care of Liu Xiaomian's uncle and sister-in-law, and often help out or something.

Liu Xiaomian's words made Feng Guifen's face blue and white for a while, she was jealous of Liu Meiniang, not only jealous of Liu Meiniang's good-looking appearance, but even more jealous of Liu Meiniang's marriage to Zhang Jirin.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Hold on to your little brother-in-law, poor widow! After Zhao Guifen finished speaking, she stomped her feet and left. Liu Xiaomian saw that Zhao Guifen was gone, and he also turned around and left.

She has never been involved in these short things in the family, and today she also heard by chance, both widows, Liu Xiaomian has an inexplicable sympathy for Liu Meiniang.

She is only a drag on her brother-in-law, and Liu Meiniang not only shoulders the family, but also does not give up, Liu Xiaomian asked herself if it was her, she might not be able to do it.

Liu Meiniang's husband and her husband also died on the battlefield, and the poor people had similar experiences.

Therefore, when she heard Zhao Guifen gossiping about Liu Meiniang, she couldn't help but say two words for Liu Meiniang.
