Chapter 23 For the sake of money, there is a fight
The words of the second daughter-in-law, Zhang Qiuju, were unanimously recognized by the people of the Lao Xia family.
Everyone thinks that letting Xia Qiqi work non-stop can make her be punished!
However, as an elder in the family, such a big decision has to be made, and Old Man Xia still has to say a few symbolic words to show his fairness-
"The fourth child has also been bitter in this life, and he gave birth to three babies in a row, all of whom are girls. Although there is another one in this belly at the moment, no one knows if it is a handle or not!
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great! The fourth child can't have no one to inherit the incense in this life, so when he was born, he is the head, and none of us knows!
Nowadays, every family is having a hard time, and it is difficult to eat enough! The fourth family is even more sad.
So when the time came, I sold the seven girls, and the money I got was all given to the fourth child and Guixiang, except for the father-in-law.
The fourth child wanted to make up for Guixiang, so he made up for it. If you want to keep and continue to fight for your son, continue to fight for your son, let's not care about it, and don't ask for it! After all, this money is obtained by selling girls! ”
As soon as I heard that Old Man Xia said that after selling Xia Qiqi's money, the fourth family would take a part of it alone.
These people couldn't sit still.
Yu Duoshou snorted twice and said to everyone: "Dad, although this money was obtained by the fourth child selling his daughter, we have also made efforts after all!"
There are so many money-losing goods in the old four families who eat white rice, unlike our family, all of whom have sons, and when they eat, their waists are straight!
If there weren't those few money-losing goods, each of us would have been able to eat an extra bite of food! Counting it up, it means that we are a big family and are supporting the four families, so the rest of the money can't just be distributed to the four families, we also have to get it! ”
"Second brother is right, Dad, didn't you always say that you have to be fair, we can't take advantage of the money-losing goods that we provide for the four families of the elderly, right!?"
Xia Duobao interjected in a timely manner, he is the third child of the Xia family, an authentic crop man.
The whole body is black from head to toe, no different from a briquette.
On weekdays, she is no different from those good women in the village, and she is the most broken-mouthed!
He is also the master of selfishness!
The meaning of what he said was also obvious, the public family got a share, and the rest belonged to the fourth room, and the brothers shared it equally!
Xia Duoshou and Xia Duobao spoke, and the mother-in-law of the two of them naturally wanted to follow along.
The second daughter-in-law, Zhang Qiuju, said: "Dad, since the second and third children have the same meaning, you might as well comply with the will of the people and sell the money of your daughter, you and my mother will get a share, and the rest of our men will be divided!" ”
"Eun! Forget it! The third daughter-in-law, Ji Liu'er, nodded busily, completely supporting her man.
Old Man Xia's face is not good-looking!
Especially these people, when they talk like this, they are undoubtedly questioning his decision!
Can he endure it?
"Shut up! The seven girls haven't been sold yet, and the money hasn't been returned yet!
You guys are just arguing to death, can money fall from the world? Second, it's not me talking about you, it's all money when you open and close your mouth, and you lost your money?
And the third child, you said that you did your best, the whole family, who doesn't know, except for the old sow at home, you are the laziest? ”
The old man was furious, and everyone was at ease.
But in the bottom of my heart, I still think about that money!
Ma Fenglan looked at the people of the old Xia family, arguing like this for some money, knowing that Xia Qiqi's next days would definitely be difficult.
So, she said: "Uncle Mu, there are still some things at home in my family, so I'll go back and deal with them first!"
If you are willing to sell that girl's film, and she beats me, I will not pursue it, otherwise I will make trouble with the village chief, and your family will have to pay me some medical expenses! ”
Old Man Xia changed his face and smiled at Ma Fenglan, "Don't worry, Fenglan, Uncle will help you handle this matter!" You and the eldest daughter-in-law are cousins, and they are also relatives of our Lao Xia family, and we won't let others suffer! ”
"Cheng, then I'll go first!"
Ma Fenglan left, the old man was angry again, and everyone didn't dare to mention the matter of sharing money for the time being.
I just hope that the day of selling Xia Qiqi's dead girl will come soon, and when the time comes, they will have to drink a mouthful of broth!
"Dad, mother, let's not mention this matter for the time being, but let the seven girls do the work, and we can't delay it! Or, when Guixiang and the fourth child come back, let's talk to them about this and let the seven girls come to work in the yard during the day? ”
Zhang Qiuju reminded Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia.
Because of the previous matter of sharing the money, Old Man Xia did not have a good attitude towards her.
He said coldly, "We will deal with this matter, and you don't need to take care of it!" ”
"What Dad said, what Dad said, my daughter-in-law remembered!" Zhang Qiuju hurriedly smiled, but in her eyes, the restless look was enough to prove that she was reluctant!
……
On the other hand, Xia Qiqi is busy at home.
not only took out the cotton wool in the room, which had already been darkened, to bask in the sun, but also moved out the floor where she and her two sisters slept to dry it.
She thought, with such a sun exposure, when she slept at night, it shouldn't be so cold!
This family is so poor that they don't even have extra space, and if they had, they wouldn't sleep in the same room as a family.
Xia Qiqi thought that when she saved some money, she would definitely have to build a new house.
When the time comes, one person in one room, I will never let the two sisters suffer this kind of hardship together!
Looking at the yard, the mattress and hay that he was drying in the sun, and the mustard greens on the long bamboo poles, Xia Qiqi felt that he saw hope.
Soon, there will be more and more things in this home, more and more......
"Eldest sister, what do you want to eat? Is it okay for me to give it apples? ”
Xia Xiaoduo poked her head out of the room and rushed to Xia Qiqidao.
"Apple...... By the way, I can make you sugar gourds! ”
Being reminded by his sister like this, Xia Qiqi thought of the work he could do.
If she made the sugar gourds now and left them to dry for the night, she would be able to go to the town to sell them in the morning.
And after she finishes it, her two younger sisters can also eat some.
"Duo'er, don't give the little fox apples, it's not a vegetarian!"
"Ah, what does it eat? Eat meat? Xia Xiaoduo muttered.
"Yes! You don't care what it eats, just feed it some water, and at night, I'll send it up the mountain! ”
The little animals in the forest should live in the forest.
What's more, she doesn't have a chicken to raise a fox, so it's better to let it go back to the mountain and find food for herself!
"Okay!"
Xia Xiaoduo pouted and entered the house.
Xia Qiqi also entered the stove room, ready to make a pot of delicious sugar gourds.
