Chapter Seventy-Nine: You Have the Final Say
Dangdang's two front hooves were on Xia Li's legs, and Xia Ju was pressed against his head.
Xia Li smiled, "Look, Dangdang is comforting you." ”
The two were intimate, and there was a curse from Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia's crying outside the door. I can still hear the persuasion of Zhu Er and his wife, "...... The old lady of the in-laws, you can't throw it away...... Ouch, can't smash ......"
After a while, Xia Zhu hurriedly came, it was Xia Erhu who saw the old lady arguing fiercely, and secretly ran to the meat stall to call him.
Xia Zhu was so angry, his sister had already married, how could the money earned by others be divided into half of his mother's family, where to find this reason. The old lady is confused, and she has to be cheap to get used to it, but the father still has to make trouble with her.
He said in a loud voice, "Dad, mother is confused, why are you old people making trouble with you?" If you do this, you will hurt my sister and my detached heart. Let's go, let's go home. ”
Mrs. Xia scolded, "." The mother's daughter, and there is no son to inherit the family business, and she earns money, so why can't she be filial to her father and mother. He slapped him twice and scolded, "It's all your fault, if you had made up your mind to pass on the second tiger earlier, so much money would not be cheap for a wild boy......"
Xia Zhu's big voice, "Why didn't my sister honor you, my sister's good life today is all given by my sister." She already has a son, so don't worry about her family's inheritance. And said, "Mother, you are so clear that you are going to be laughed at and poked in the backbone for grabbing the property of your daughter." There are still two daughters in our family who are not married, which good family will dare to marry them in the future? You old man has to think about future generations. Also, I heard Erhu say that Shanzi has become an official, and if you make trouble like this, it will affect his official reputation. ”
Old Man Xia's eyes widened, his face flushed, and he asked, "Tell me clearly, Shanzi has become an official?" How do the two tigers know? ”
Xia Zhu said, "Of course it's from the girl." Let's go, let's go home, and wait for Shanzi to come back and ask clearly. ”
Old man Xia was very excited, and shouted, "Wait for a fart, I'll ask the girl." He limped to Xia Li's door, slapped the door hard, and asked in a voice like Hong Zhong, "Xia girl, what's going on, tell your grandfather clearly." Ouch, I'm dying, why didn't you say such a big thing earlier? ”
There was no movement in the house.
The old man didn't have a problem, and he didn't dare to provoke Xia Li anymore, so he slowed down and said, "Leave the girl, my grandfather was anxious just now." Okay, okay, no division, no division. The dead old woman is greedy, and I'll clean her up when I get home. Quick, let's talk about it, Shanzi is really an official? ”
There was still no movement in the house.
Xia Zhu persuaded, "The third brother may have gone home yet, let's go home and ask him." ”
Xia Laohan took a few deep breaths, pressed down the air, and was helped out by Xia Zhu. With a new pipe in one hand and a new crutch in the other, he crossed the threshold, then stood down and pointed to the tobacco on the table, saying, "Take the tobacco, that's a good thing, and take my old pipe and old crutch as well." ”
Mrs. Xia took the things in her hand, and then remembered that the silver earrings that Xia Li had given her earlier were angry and confiscated, as if they had been put into the package by the girl and taken away.
She pointed to the small door and asked, "Leaving the girl, where are the silver earrings you gave me?" ”
There was no movement in the house.
She slammed on the door again, shouting, "Where's my silver earrings?" Give it to me! ”
There was still no movement in the room.
Xia Laohan was so anxious that he shouted, "Let's go, I'll talk about those little things later." ”
Mrs. Xia walked into the courtyard, she was still angry, she turned around and said loudly, "Leave the girl, don't be ignorant." My son became an official, and I don't believe that you orphans and widows are being bullied and can't ask for my house. ”
When they went out of the door, Zhu Er slammed the door, and the room finally fell silent.
Xia Li took Xia Ju and Dangdang to the hall together, and said to Xia's door, "Mother, it's all over." This family, we will have the final say in the future. ”
Xia Shi walked out, his eyes were red from crying, and he said, "Leaving is very ashamed, my mother's family is really, really...... Before, my mother felt that we orphans and widows were helpless, so I thought about giving my mother's family some silver, and they could help us not be bullied. But they were not satisfied. ”
In the past, I used to take so much money out to help my mother's family, did I do something wrong, so that their appetite became bigger and bigger?
She was so ashamed that she was at a loss and embarrassed to look at Xia Li.
Xia Li went over and put his arm around her and said, "Mother, they did something wrong, why should you be ashamed." If you shouldn't give it, you just don't give it, there's no need to affect our own mood because of their mistakes......"
The family of four sat together on the couch and comforted Xia, Xia Li talked more about the trip to the provincial capital.
When Xia heard that Xia had left the provincial capital to cook and saw the master of his family, his face turned white with fright. Holding her hand tightly and shouting, "God, how can you go to those people's ......" I felt that I was out of shape, and said with a slow breath, "Lili, remember, stay away from those nobles in the future, those people, those people sometimes make no sense at all, you look so handsome...... If someone beats us up for a bad idea, we can't do anything about it. ”
Speaking of the back, tears came out.
Xia Lijian frightened the old lady, so she had to promise, "Okay, pay attention next time, stay away from those nobles......"
coaxed the old lady and began to discuss the future again.
Leave one acre of twelve acres of paddy fields for two kinds, and the grain produced will be eaten by themselves, and then ask the mother and son of the Yellow Widow to see how many acres they are willing to rent. They work hard and can be trusted.
For the time being, I will give Zhu 280 Wen a month, and I wish the two families 50 Wen a month.
In the evening, I went to Zhoulizheng's house, bought the land to the east of my house, and planted potatoes in the future......
Tomorrow, when the Xia family goes to Yali to apply for the land deed, they will go to the house of the fourth old man Xia again, and bring the gifts to them, and the silver earrings that were prepared for Mrs. Xia before will also be given to the fourth old lady.
There are also gifts for the Xia family, except for the gifts of the Xia Zhu family quietly given to them, only two packs of candy and snacks were given to the Xia family, and nothing else was given, so it was time for some people to see the situation clearly......
In fact, Xia Li really wanted to buy cattle and carts to facilitate his own use and farming. But if her family has a cow, Mrs. Xia will definitely use it and quarrel with the old lady in the countryside every day for a cow, and Xia Li is unwilling. If you want to become a car owner, you have to wait.
Counting that the family now has a house, a field, and a deposit of 1,000 taels of silver, Xia smiled and narrowed his eyes. said, "Don't touch the silver, and don't say it, and you will be married as a box of silver in the future." This house and land will be left to me and your brother, and we will not have to worry about it in the future, and your brother will have the money to study and marry his daughter-in-law. ”
