After a few laps around the house, he still didn't stabilize, and ran to the patriarch's house, which is a major matter related to future generations, and in his own hands, he can provide a talented son, and leave a few more acres of good land for future generations, and he can look up and see his ancestors when he dies.

As soon as Mei Zhongzhong left, Mrs. Li stuffed the wrench in her hand to Mei Xiaotong, "Girl, touch it, this is a good thing that the county order rewards your third brother, and only the rich and noble people in the city can afford to wear it!" I've heard people say, what gold is priceless and jade is priceless, and it is estimated that it is worth at least five taels of silver, right? We can't buy such a good thing with money! You touch it, it's slippery and cool, and it's really a precious thing. ”

Mei Xiaotong touched it like a stream, and returned it to Mrs. Li, "Mother, you can keep this good thing." ”

Mrs. Li carefully took out a handkerchief from her arms to wrap the wrench, and said happily, "Mother will naturally take it well and give you a dowry in the future." With such a good thing, who would dare to underestimate you? ”

Mei Xiaotong was completely speechless, anyway, no matter what good things she had at home, Mrs. Li was planning to save for herself as a dowry.

This love for her daughter, she really can't resist, she can only force herself not to indulge in it too much, so that she can become the former Mei Xiaotong.

Moreover, in the current situation at home, she really has no intention of getting married, not to mention that the love task given to her by the cheating father's system is a headache when she thinks about it.

So she had to divert the topic, and when it came to the skill of diverting the topic, she estimated that she was already full.

"Mother, I don't want to get married yet, I want to accompany you more! Besides, now our family, this mess, I don't have this mind, wait for the situation at home to improve! Keep these good things for yourself! This is Mei Xiaotong's heartfelt words.

Now that he has become Mei Xiaotong and a member of the Mei family, even if it is for the sake of a sincere Mrs. Li, she has to make the Mei family's life better.

Mrs. Li is only shy as a daughter, but what the girl said is also true, the current situation in the family, even if she gets compensation from the Li family, but the boss is such a strong laborer is useless.

If you want to have a good life, you have to have more men and more strong laborers to feed your family.

The boss is gone, and I am afraid that the life of the family will not be as good as it is now.

The family is old and small, and there is no manpower to work in the fields in the future, and it will definitely cost money to hire people.

This mother's family is not powerful, how to find a good family for her daughter? ¥ Aichi Literature ...! Fastest update

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Li is in a hurry! Now she looks at her daughters wherever she is, and she can't wait for the emperor to be worthy, if it is because of family reasons, she delays her daughter's marriage, see which one she can spare?

I cried out in my heart for such a good girl, but I was delayed by my family, why should my precious daughter be affected by those white-eyed wolves?

Mrs. Li turned countless thoughts in her heart,

His face was not obvious, and he comforted Mei Xiaotong, "Xiaotong, don't worry, everything is here, don't worry-" said and leaned into Mei Xiaotong's ear, and quietly said the idea of buying land for her as a dowry.

Looking at the shocked face of the old girl, Mrs. Li thought that the girl was happy and stupid, and patted her head, "We both know about this, don't even say your father, do you know?" Take out the money I gave you first, and I'll go back to the house to sum it up, how can I buy you two more acres of land. ”

After speaking, he took the copper coin that Mei Xiaotong turned out, and went back to the house in a hurry.

The rest of Mei Xiaotong held her forehead and sighed for a long time before she cheered up and went to the firewood room to see the jade mushrooms.

All this is because the family has no money in front of her, if she has money, why does Mrs. Li have to pick on her other sons to make up for her daughter?

As long as she can earn money and make a lot of money, Mrs. Li naturally doesn't look down on other sons' three melons and two dates.

So, in the end, you have to stand up and earn money on your own.

Now the only hope is the jade mushroom.

Entered the firewood room, uncovered the cloth on the cultivation bed and looked, sure enough, it lived up to expectations, the jade mushroom had been last night, quietly, all out of the soil, at a glance, dozens of mushroom heads crowded together, very spectacular.

Mei Xiaotong was overjoyed, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she went back to the house to find Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was in the house, cross-legged on the kang, counting her belongings, calculating how much she could pick out and buy a few acres of land for her daughter.

Hearing the sound of the door, he hurriedly scooped up all the silver into his arms, lifted his skirt to wrap it, looked up and was about to scold, and when he saw that it was an old girl, he relaxed "What's wrong?" So flustered? ”

Mei Xiaotong didn't say anything, and pulled Mrs. Li and walked out.

Mrs. Li didn't have time to wear her shoes, and her skirt was still carrying silver, where was she willing to go out, "Little ancestor, alas, slow down!" Don't tear up a handful of old bones. You stop, I'll pack up this pile and go out with you? ”

said that he quickly locked the silver in the box with his hands and feet, put on his shoes again, and then followed Mei Xiaotong to the firewood room.

When I saw the unearthed mushroom head, I was speechless for a while.

It took a long time before he squeezed out his voice, "Girl, you...... You've really planted it......"

Mei Xiaotong nodded excitedly, she didn't expect that she would succeed in the first test of the water, and sure enough, she still has talent! Scholars are scholars everywhere!

Mrs. Li rubbed her hands excitedly, "Oh, Mom, how much silver is this worth?" I guess it's two or three pounds, right? Last time, those gave five taels of silver, so old, can't you give a dozen taels? ”

Speaking of silver, Mrs. Li realized something, turned around and closed the door of the firewood room, and then said nervously, "When are you going to sell these?" ”

Mei Xiaotong thought about it, this jade mushroom is squeamish, and if she keeps raising it, I'm afraid that if she is infected with a germ or something, wouldn't it be bad. It's better to pick it now

went to sell it to the shopkeeper Zheng, and only the silver in hand was insured!

Thinking about it like this, "Mother, of course the sooner the better, this thing is expensive, put it on the risk of one more day, it's getting late today, I'll go to town early tomorrow morning-"

Mrs. Li slapped her thigh, "I'll see it!" In this way, don't make a noise, I'll go to town with you early tomorrow morning, and I'll say I'm going to see your eldest brother, and we'll do it quietly. Don't think that your mother is hiding it from them, your mother will tell you that in this situation at home now, no amount of money can be spent. If everyone knows that your mushroom was sold for silver, not to mention anything else, that slut of the Zhou family, God knows how many ways to come up with to coax your silver out and use it. ”

Mei Xiaotong opened her mouth to say something, but Mrs. Li didn't give her a chance to speak, "Don't be stupid and say everything, otherwise when the time comes, Tianlong and they will kneel in front of you and ask you for silver, and treat the boss, will you give it or not?" The people in our family, except for you and the fourth child, who have no brains, who don't have seventeen or eighteen hearts, if they know that you have earned so much silver, don't they all have to hit your head with the idea? You give this, do you want to give that? Obey my brother's affection, go against my sister-in-law's wishes, they don't get tired of giving as much as they want, and they don't have a head! This matter is settled, you listen to your mother, your mother will not harm you! ”

What can Mei Xiaotong say, it's not good to say anything at this time.

In this family, it is said that there are no distractions and returns that are good to her, and it is Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li's heart is planning for herself, if she really hurts her heart for others, it will be too bad.

What's more, what Mrs. Li said is also reasonable, how to spend this silver, you have to think about it carefully, otherwise you will make up for the eldest brother's family, and the third brother's family will be pitiful, you can't watch it, right? If you don't give it, what does the third sister-in-law think? I can't get over it in my heart?

And the fourth brother, you can't forget him, right?

If it's not good, the silver subsidy is out, and it doesn't get a good one, so the gain outweighs the loss.

Thinking about it like this, Mei Xiaotong nodded very simply, "I know, mother, I listen to you!" ”

Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, the old girl is just obedient, and she listens to everything she says.

A few more words of advice to Mei Xiaotong not to leak the news, hurry up and take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the yard to pick the jade mushrooms and put them in her house, so as not to go to pick them early in the morning.

Wen was relieved to see that Mrs. Li was happy, and released a few children who were detained in the house, let them go out to play, and hid in the room to embroider, not daring to show up.

Tianlong and Tianhu drank for the first time in their lives, although it was only a small glass, but after all, they were young and couldn't stand the strength of the wine, and the brothers, who had long been groggy, climbed on the kang and lay down, snoring loudly.

Tianbao felt aggrieved, and saw that the two brothers were drunk to death again, and Xiaojuan and Xiaoque in the third room were detained in the room by the third aunt and did not come out.

Mei Changgui drank two more glasses because of the guests, and in the past two days, because of the eldest brother's affairs, he didn't sleep well, he didn't eat well, and he was drunk for a while, and he also went back to the house to sleep and die.

Mei Xiaotong saw that there was no one in the yard, so she found a small bamboo basket and first went to the vegetable garden to find a few large vegetable leaves, and then went to the firewood room, carefully took out the jade mushrooms and put them neatly, sprayed them with diluted gene solution, and covered them with vegetable leaves on the top.

Checking the fungus bed again, the beginner mushroom cultivation book said that if the weather is hot and there is no ventilation, the mycelium will die.

Now it is the beginning of summer in May and June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

But if she can earn the first pot of gold in her life, she can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

Mei Xiaotong comforted herself like this, quietly returned to her house with the basket on her back, and put the jade mushrooms against the corner of the wall, without alarming anyone.

Rare silence in the yard.

Mei Zhongzhong went home with a stomach full of anger, and when she saw the silence in the courtyard, her mood became more and more depressed.

When I entered the house, I saw that Mrs. Li was putting something in the box and locking it, so she couldn't help but complain, "What baby, the blue sky is still locked in the box?" You are asking the second child for something in front of everyone today, and it is really too faceless to give him. Originally, the second child was far away from us, and after such a fuss, it became more and more centrifuged, how could we expect it in the future? ”

The meaning of these words is faintly to accuse Mrs. Li of being biased and letting her son leave his heart.

Where is Mrs. Li willing to admit it?

Locked the box tightly, turned his head and said that his nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not eyes, and he sneered, "I don't expect the second child, the goods crawling out of my intestines, can I not know?" As far as the second child's temperament is concerned, even if the old lady gives him all the furniture, he is afraid that he still dislikes the lack of silver, and we who are the old man did not cut the meat for him to eat! People have high eyes, and they have long looked down on us, the mud-legged old man who is eating in the field, and you still dream that he is developed and honors you? I don't know where I'm angry, so I'm back and pick up the old lady—"

Mei Zhongzhong was choked, sighed, sat on the edge of the kang, smoked, and said for a long time, "Now in this situation at home, the boss has become like that, we are old, how many years can we still do?" Now the second child in the family is a little promising, and he can be relied on, you also know that the second child has a lot of thoughts, and he slapped him in the face in front of others, how can he not hate us in his heart? In the future, when we are too old to do anything, we will always have to count on him, and we will have to take a step back-"
