Chapter 37: Finding Help
"It's just, mother, this plan is actually not difficult to practice, but in any case, you still need a person who can raise silkworms, to tell you the truth, although I plant some fruits and vegetables is still very good, but I really can't raise silkworms."
Liu Meiniang thought about it and decided to talk about it, after all, there are many people with great power, and at this time, they can't search for answers on the Internet, so they can only think about whether they can unite to think of a way to solve the first theoretical problem in front of them.
"Cough, you child, just say that you have anything difficult in your heart, this is not a difficult thing, when I was a yellow flower girl, I used to raise silkworms for a period of time in my mother's mother's family.
Zhang Li is an authentic peasant girl, so it is normal to say that she can master some things skillfully.
"Really? Mother, it turns out that you can still raise silkworms! “
When Liu Meiniang heard the news, her first reaction was surprise, it would be great if she could get rid of the people at home, but soon every thought crossed Liu Meiniang's mind, and the smile on Liu Meiniang's face gradually disappeared.
"No, you can't be asked to do this."
Liu Meiniang's heart was crossed, and she told Zhang Li about this matter first without thinking about it, which was really too careless.
"Where are you, it's not that you can't do physical work for your mother, but it's just a trivial matter like raising silkworms, why can't I do it?"
Zhang Li's face was full of joy just now, but after listening to Liu Meiniang's direct denial, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Mother, I don't mean anything else, but think about it, although the second brother can help the family take on part of the work now, but after all, he is only one person,"
"Raising silkworms, coupled with the service of fish ponds, the raising of poultry at home, and the problems of fields, no matter how you look at it, if our family has to invest too much energy in raising silkworms, it will lead to distraction in other things."
Liu Meiniang saw that Zhang Li's expression became wrong, and she thought about it too much, and now there is a lot of labor in the family because of this "mulberry fish pond" plan, so no matter what aspect it is, the laborious work of raising silkworms really can't be completed by her mother-in-law, who is already in poor health.
"Mother, your health is not good, plus you have worked hard all day during this time, it really makes us feel distressed to watch, even if it is your mother, you think it's nothing, but now that the children have grown up, no matter what it is, they have begun to go to their hearts."
"I ......"
Zhang Li was stunned when he heard Liu Meiniang say this, and fell into a long silence, indeed, even if he has a heart that does not accept old age, but because of inexplicable reasons, he still understands his physical condition, as the saying goes, he will always be the one who knows himself best.
Seeing that Zhang Li fell into silence and thoughtfully, he knew that what he had just said was emotional, and it played a role, so he hurried to continue.
"Look, mother, Dandan is still young now, and the child is the most sensible, but at such a young age, she can't always be allowed to do heavy work."
Liu Meiniang frowned, Zhang Dandan is a little girl who makes people feel cute and painful at a glance, that child is too sensible, but sensible children are more pitiful, so at the age when she is still a child, Liu Meiniang wants to give Zhang Dandan as much time as possible to live her beautiful childhood.
Seeing Zhang Li nodding thoughtfully, Liu Meiniang smiled and continued.
"Now because I proposed this matter, Tongtong also knows about it, and Tongtong is really lazy to say something unpleasant, so there should be no way to help."
Although Zhang Li's heart was still sour when he heard this about his daughter, he was helpless that Liu Meiniang was telling the truth, so naturally there was no room for refutation.
"Even if that's the case, now that it's already started, how can you give up halfway?"
Zhang Li really felt sorry for such a large mulberry tree, and he thought that this plan was feasible, but in fact, it was because he could raise silkworms, so he agreed to it, but he didn't expect that Liu Meiniang would really veto it at this time.
"Mother, you have to know that everything is not as important as your body, your body is the capital, although I don't know why people are always never satisfied with wanting more money."
"Now our family can now fully guarantee food and clothing for everyone in the family, and we are just pursuing a better life now, aren't we?"
Liu Meiniang clenched Zhang Li's hand, and the warmth was transmitted from one palm to another.
Zhang Li felt Liu Meiniang's strong concern, for so many years, she alone in the name of a widow in front of others, for this family to break her heart, facing the remaining four children, and being a father and mother, so she has never felt the warmth from the children.
Zhang Jihan was a bastard some time ago, and he was reluctant to express it, so he basically didn't take the initiative to show his concern for his mother, but after all, his son has grown up now, and boys, it's normal to have thicker lines, so Zhang Li's is not too unbalanced.
But after all, her daughter is her mother's little padded jacket, but now it seems that Zhang Dandan is really sensible, but she is still young, even if she has the heart to do something for her family and mother, but because she is too young, she is powerless.
When it comes to Zhang Tongtong's words, it goes without saying.
"The third sister is not young anymore, I went to tell her that today I have to let her know how to be a child."
Looking at Liu Meiniang and her mother who were in danger, Zhang Jihan sighed, and then, as if he had decided something, got up and bypassed the two of them to go home.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive."
"Well, I want to see what kind of incredible things my so-called good brother can do under the instigation of that bad woman, and how, teach me a lesson? Let's not talk about whether you have this qualification or not, just say what do you want? “
The three of them followed the reputation, and it turned out that Zhang Tongtong had already come to the vicinity of the fish pond, but he was curious about what kind of things these people were going to discuss when they stood together, so they approached and eavesdropped.
"This woman is right, I'm just born to be lazy and lazy, Miss's temper and maid's life, don't be in a hurry to deny that I don't see you all think so, yes, mother, I don't know and think he is your daughter, it's better for you to accept her as a goddaughter, anyway, it just so happens that people have already done enough to be daughters-in-law."
Seeing that the faces of the three people became more and more ugly, Zhang Tongtong giggled twice and walked in front of Zhang Jihan.
"I remember saying more than once, don't be self-righteous and say it's my brother, I don't have a brother like you."
Zhang Tongtong snorted coldly and bypassed Zhang Jihan.
"If this is the Zhang family's matter, as a child of the Zhang family, I naturally have no hesitation, but unfortunately the woman brought it up by the woman, so I will not accompany it."
Zhang Tongtong's words were as if he was swearing his sovereignty, he was the daughter of this family, and with such a strong attitude of resistance, he wanted to exchange for the change of heart of Zhang Li and his brothers and sisters.
"This is the Zhang family, each of us has a surname Zhang, isn't it? But this woman, her surname is Yang, why do you still want to listen to her for everything until now, did she secretly give you Gu? ”
"Bastard."
Soon, a loud slap made the scene quiet again, Zhang Li with tears in his eyes, trembling hands left Zhang Tongtong's ear, this is a lesson, a mother will be disappointed in her child.
"Mother, you ......"
Zhang Tongtong wanted to say something, but the tears in his eyes poured out, Zhang Tongtong immediately turned around, ran while crying, and ran in the direction of home.
"Daughter-in-law, my mother knows that you feel sorry for your mother, but now you have to send it when you are ready to fly, right?"
Zhang Li frowned, almost in a pleading tone, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, this family has some difficulties in life, and there is no way to deal with even the most basic family members.
"Mother, even if we don't do this, there must be another way, isn't it? Why rush? ”
Liu Meiniang comforted Zhang Li's mouth, but in fact, her heart was still very anxious, after all, everything was ready now, and only the east wind was owed, so the way still had to be thought, but it was absolutely impossible to use Zhang Li's to raise silkworms alone.
"Mother, your health is not good, even if you are resolute, I will never agree, our family is poor, in order to make money, it is true that you want to live a better life, but you can't put your body into it for money, Dandan has not grown up yet, and the second brother has not yet married a wife and had children, mother, are you willing?"
Liu Meiniang was moved by emotion and reason, and she almost moved herself when she said it.
"I, Liu Meiniang, have no way to treat my elders like this no matter what."
Liu Meiniang said this, the gaze in her eyes was very resolute and unshakable, this is the bottom line, after all, the traditional virtue of honoring your parents is something that cannot be lost.
“……”
Zhang Li saw Liu Meiniang's toughness and fell silent, what Liu Meiniang said made sense, but what about the way, where is the way?
"But we just wait, we can't fall from the sky, can we?"
Zhang Li sighed, looked at Zhang Jihan, who was also silent on the side, and fell into deep thought.
"Falling from the sky...... Yes, let's go find a helper! Since you don't have the labor force yourself, find someone to work with! “
Liu Meiniang clapped her hands, and suddenly realized that she had an idea.
