If Dong Si doesn't tell the truth, it seems that he is really guarding against the villagers, and when it is spread, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to hear. For example, their Dong family wore a pair of pants with the Zhang family, and they wanted to please the Zhang family and make a fortune together. You don't have to think about it to guess a lot of these words.

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law usually mixes with women, and she knows these things best, for fear that her own man will provoke her for other people's affairs, so she hurriedly persuaded, "You are really stupid, and it is not a bad thing for Pucao girl to make a fortune." Since she can tell you, I'm afraid she didn't want to hide it from everyone, what kind of hero do you want to be if you grit your teeth. ”

Dong Si smiled bitterly and pondered for a while, feeling that his daughter-in-law's words were also reasonable, so he said in a low voice, "Sister Pucao did go to the city today to sell vegetables, and she was sent to the restaurant of the young man Fang who came to visit last time." Fang Gongzi is very generous, four baskets of vegetables... Well, ten taels of silver were given! ”

Ten taels! Everyone gasped in unison, and their eyes were about to pop out.

There were also families in the village who went to the city to sell vegetables, and naturally it was summer. A large basket full of one person was only sold for 20 yuan, but the Zhang family only built an adobe house, and sold a few baskets of vegetables for the income of six acres of land.

It's amazing, too... It's so eye-popping!

Aunt Li was the first to shout, "The Zhang family is really rich, it is ten taels to sell vegetables once, and I don't know how many vegetables will be produced in the adobe house in the future, so wouldn't it be at least a hundred taels!" ”

"yes, yes, that's so lucrative." Everyone echoed and buzzed.

Dong Si wanted to open his mouth several times to talk about the hard work of growing vegetables and the amount of money invested, but unfortunately these women's eyes and ears were filled with white silver, where could they still listen, so he simply stopped talking.

Fortunately, when these women heard such exciting news, they were all in a hurry to go back and tell their families, and they only talked about tea and then took their leave.

Dong Si's daughter-in-law sent the guests back, and when she saw Dong Si's brows furrowed into an iron bump, she said, "What are you worried about for the Zhang family?" People don't give you a few taels of money when they make money, you are really idle. ”

Dong Si rarely scolded his daughter-in-law with a cold face, "You old ladies know how to look at the steps in front of you!" You don't want to think about it, I got along well with my son, and the two of them followed the Zhang family to grow vegetables. I didn't help me build an adobe house at the beginning, and everyone knows it, and if there are really good things, I won't forget our family.

You remember to go out and walk around again, but you have to say more good things, don't learn from those heartless old ladies, and tomorrow the Pucao girl said that she wants to set up a banquet, and you will go to help after a while. ”

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law thought that this was also reasonable, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time." ”

Don't mention the Dong family husband and wife, just say that the few old ladies who got the first-hand news went out of the Dong family, and ran home to report the news like flying, and some ran around to find the man when they saw him going out to sit idle and was not at home.

So in just an hour, the entire Nangouer knew the news of the Zhang family's fortune, and everyone couldn't sit still as if a piece of red carbon was stuffed under their buttocks.

Those who usually have a good relationship with the Liu family and the Zhang family are happy for the two of them, and at the same time, they are secretly envious.

And those women who have no way to talk and say a lot of bad things about Pucao behind their backs are troubled. For a while, I was afraid that Pucao would hold a grudge, and for a while, I racked my brains to think about how to repair it. But the men in their family are rare gentlemen, and under the pretext that they blocked their own financial routes, they reprimanded their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

Of course, everyone pondered for a long time, and finally they were a little afraid that the news was wrong, so the threshold of the Dong family was beaten, and relatives and neighbors came batch after batch, and it was not until the third watch in the middle of the night that their family was finally quiet.

The old couple of the Liu family disliked the cold, for fear that they would have to spend money on medicine if they got the cold, so they didn't go out a few times after winter.

If it was such a big news on weekdays, they were afraid that they would be the last to know, but this time Chunni and his wife made a fortune with the Zhang family, and the person who had the fast eyes immediately hit them with the idea. As a result, the snow in front of Liu's house was flattened almost instantly.

Originally, the old couple lay down as soon as it was dark, and when they heard someone slamming the door and shouting, they hurriedly put on their cotton jackets and got up to open the door.

When the neighbors and villagers came in, they drank water and gossiped, and the conversation gradually led to Chunni and his wife.

The old couple thought that the eldest couple had caused some trouble, and hurriedly cleared it up one after another, "The two of them have already separated from each other and gone out to live alone, and they have nothing to do with our family if they have anything, don't expect our two old bones to be afraid for them." ”

Liu Shuisheng, the youngest son of the Liu family, saw that everyone had a look of contempt in their eyes when they heard this, and hurriedly spoke up to cover it up, "My father and mother are ruthless, but in fact, I don't know how much I love my eldest brother and sister-in-law." This year, my eldest brother and sister-in-law just separated from the family and went out to live, and my father and mother didn't even ask for more than half a grain of pension food. ”

Everyone smiled and echoed a few words, then took the pottery bowl and drank water, taking the opportunity to hide the disdain and disdain on their faces. No one in this village knows that the hearts of the old couple of the Liu family are on the edge of the sky, and in order to keep more belongings for the younger son, they almost let the eldest couple go out of the house. Now he still talks about love like this, and even the old dog at the head of the village will scoff at it.

Of course, they didn't come to the door today to complain about Liu Housheng's grievances, and even the more the Liu family disagreed, the more opportunities they had to follow and get some benefits.

Chen Laosi, who was next door to Liu's house, put down the water bowl and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu has been bored at home these days, I'm afraid I haven't heard of the major events in the village." Your eldest brother didn't get into any trouble, but he was lucky. ”

"Luck?" The three members of the Liu family, young and old, were stunned when they heard it, Liu Housheng went to the mountain to hunt and broke his leg and was already half-disabled, it would be good to be able to eat three meals a day and drink enough cereal porridge in the future, what good thing could he do?

In the end, Liu Shuisheng was young and had a lively brain, and when his eyes rolled, he remembered the trivial things that his father and mother had said, so he blurted out, "Could it be that my eldest brother's vegetables have been grown?" ”

Chen Laosi saw that their family finally had someone who understood and guessed the prob, so he quickly answered with a smile, "That's it, I heard that the Zhang family went into the city to sell vegetables today and got back ten taels of snowflake silver." Who in this village doesn't know that the adobe house is almost taken care of by your eldest brother, and now the Zhang family has made a fortune and has entered the silver, so why should they share half of the eldest brother. That's why the two of them are lucky. ”

How much is half of ten taels of silver? Five taels! The old couple of the Liu family immediately opened their mouths in shock, and the two pairs of cloudy eyes turned around for a long time, and the old man Liu patted his thigh and said happily, "Oh, I usually say that Pucao's girl is blessed at first glance, and Shengzi and Chunni can make money by planting vegetables and keeping them with her, and this is not less than two months before seeing silver." ”

Mrs. Liu was not far behind, and followed up without saying anything, "That's it, that's it, I said that I wanted to give birth to a child..."

"Mother!" Liu Shuisheng interrupted Mrs. Liu's words in time, half reminding and half covering up, "The adobe shed belongs to Pucao's sister-in-law Zhang Luo, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are just helping to do some small work, it would be good to get a little salary, and I am afraid that the matter of making a fortune has nothing to do with them." ”

Everyone smiled dryly and glanced at the second child of the Liu family, who was obviously much more shrewd, and felt that the gossip was almost enough, so they excused themselves to leave one after another every night.

As soon as everyone walked away, Old Man Liu immediately jumped up and cursed in a low voice, "I'll just say that the boss and his wife have a bad heart!" No, I made a fortune with others, and I didn't even tell my father and mother, it was really thundering. ”

"They were going to split up before, and they pretended to be so aggrieved, they had already made up their minds to follow the little widow to get rich." Mrs. Liu was also so angry that she wanted to drop the pottery bowl, but unfortunately she felt reluctant to lift it, so she had to turn to slap the table empty-handed, but she grinned in pain.

Old man Liu took out his dogskin hat and buckled it on his head, and said, "No, I have to go and see first, and I have to take the silver back and hide it, otherwise it will be too late if it is borrowed by the villagers tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Liu also hurriedly went to find the headscarf and shouted, "I'll go too, Chunni's dead girl is fine, I'm afraid she doesn't want us to help manage the money." “

Liu Shuisheng was a little hesitant and stopped, "Dad, mother, it's been two months since the eldest brother went out of the house, and even if he earns money, he can't get it back." ”

When the old man and the old lady heard this, their subordinates were all stunned, but the next moment they were busy again, and said with a nonchalant face, "Don't say it's a separation, he just walked to the edge of the sky, and he also crawled out of my belly." He should give everything to his father, and if he doesn't give it, he is unfilial. ”

"That is, now is the time when the family is short of silver, he should also make some effort as an elder brother, let's go!" Old man Liu pushed the door and rushed into the snow with his wife.

Liu Shuisheng walked around the house, feeling that he was a little sorry for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but he had taken a fancy to a girl in Poplar Village behind Dongshan in the past few days, and he also found an acquaintance to find out. People really didn't say that they didn't think about him as a person, but only that it was not easy for a girl to raise her, and if she wanted to marry a girl, she had to ask for a big appointment of ten taels of silver.

The Liu family's family background for many years is only a dozen taels, and if they buy this dowry and money, and then hold a banquet and other things, they will be completely hollowed out. Such a bankrupt thing was naturally shelved by the old couple.

But how can young people put it down so easily when they first taste the taste of their hearts? Liu Shuisheng is dreaming every night, and he can't wait to marry that girl back immediately. Now I suddenly heard that my eldest brother and sister-in-law have made a fortune, and if my father and mother want to return the silver, he will have a dream come true.

Thinking like this, Liu Shuisheng quietly snuffed out the little guilt in his heart, comforted himself and said that after getting married, he would earn money to compensate his eldest brother, so he turned to lie at the door and anxiously waited for his parents to come back with the silver tael.

Chen Laosi squatted at the door of his yard, and saw the old man and the old lady of the Liu family hurriedly passing by in front of the door, so he straightened up, stomped on his frozen feet and sang a little song back to the house. He pondered that these two old guys who saw money and opened their eyes would not let go of the big boy who was easy to bully.

Wait, if this dish can be planted by the old Liu family, then the whole village can follow it and make a fortune.
