Chapter 10 Private Money
Fang Shi was stunned by Zhiwan's question, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, he couldn't answer a word at all, he held two taels of silver in his hand, and thought in his heart according to what Zhiwan said, after these two taels were handed over, how many of them would return to her, and how many would be used on her three daughters, Xiaocao had not worn new clothes since she was born, and they were all leftovers worn by several sisters.
Xiumei wears all Si Lian's old clothes, and Si Lian, she has to make three or four sets of new clothes a year, Fang Shi thought, her heart was bitter, she was confused, she couldn't give birth to a son for the Zhao family, she felt guilty, and wanted to make up for it, she got up early every day to touch the dark, stayed up late to embroider needlework, she just wanted to get a good sentence from her mother-in-law, a compliment, she only cared about herself, but she didn't expect her daughter, the second sister-in-law didn't have more silver hairpins than her, so she pressed her everywhere, these two taels of silver can make a good silver hairpin......
Zhiwan saw her expression change, knowing that she listened, there is no mother who does not think about the child, Liu's patriarchal, she doesn't treat her daughter as a treasure, don't think about her much, that little grass is really pitiful, Fang's tightly clutched the silver, and looked up at Zhiwan, "I was confused before, I have been digging out my heart and lungs for so many years, my heart is almost cold, you are right, I can't count on her all, even if I don't think about myself, I have to think more about a few children." ”
Fang Shi touched Xiaocao's face, and tears of laughter flowed out, "Mother, from now on, I will work hard to save a dowry for you." ”
Zhiwan held his forehead, I don't know if the child can't hide the words in his mouth, Zhiwan squatted down, pinched Xiaocao's face and said, "Mother saves a dowry for Xiaocao, Xiaocao can't tell others, this is a little secret between the five of us." ”
Xiaocao was only three years old, her eyes turned around the room, and she counted, "Auntie, mother, me, and Sister Si'er and Brother Chen, the little secret between the five of us, Xiaocao remembered it, and no one told it, not even the eldest sister and the second sister." ”
Zhiwan praised her for being sensible, and went to shake the two children, Fang's first disobedience to Liu's family, a little timid, and finally hid two taels of silver in the house, when he went out, he happened to see Zhao Siping coming back, his face was excited, Fang's face was also dyed with a smile, Zhao Siping was happy like a child waiting for praise, "Daughter-in-law, many people like the shaker, the seven that were beaten before were sold out in a blink of an eye, and many people urged me to hurry up, seven sold for one or two taels of silver, you take it to your mother, there is not much wood at home, I'll go to Dagui's house to have a look. ”
Fang Shi held the money, and involuntarily remembered Zhiwan's words in his mind, and after shaking it, he took out five yuan and gave it to Zhao Siping, "Buying wood also requires capital, you take this, and I will take the rest to my mother." ”
Zhao Siping was a little puzzled, how could his daughter-in-law be confused, how could he buy wood without taking the capital, Zhao Siping looked at Fang Shi in a daze, Fang Shi didn't say a word, forced it over, and then took seven coins of silver to find Liu.
Liu was in a very bad mood, and when she saw the silver at this time, she felt much better, but the seven coins of silver were still far from three taels, but she was not dissatisfied, she was just curious, "That shaker is really so popular, can one be sold for a hundred copper coins?" ”
Fang's heart was a little settled, it turned out that seven coins of silver and one or two pieces of silver, the mother's reaction was the same, and she replied, "The drawings were drawn by Zhiwan, it should be liked by big families, our wood is not good, otherwise it can be sold more." ”
Liu thinks about it, she has raised so many children, and it is the first time she has seen a shaker, but good wood costs a lot of money, even if it is expensive, she can't earn a few, so be it, she can earn a hundred copper coins a day, and she can have three taels a month, which I couldn't think of before.
Coming out of Liu's house, Fang's palms were sweating, as if he had been a thief, and before he left, he heard Zhao Silian begging, "Mother, you can buy me a hairpin, I have been wearing this one on my head for three years, and I haven't replaced it with a new one." ”
Fang's unprecedentedly didn't move, so he listened to Liu's words, "Shaking the shaker can make money, and when your third sister-in-law brings two or two more, my mother will give you a silver hairpin, which is pure silver, and I can wear it now, and I can renovate it in the future as a dowry." ”
Zhao Silian shouted happily, Fang's tears came out, her man worked hard for a month, and finally replaced a hairpin on Zhao Silian's head, and her daughter didn't even eat a string of sugar gourds, Fang's gritted her teeth, stepped in and said, "Mother, can you give me two copper plates, Siping promised to buy a string of sugar gourds for the child, and he was busy coming back to forget." ”
Liu's face changed, "What kind of sugar gourd to eat, I ate too much sugar at a young age, I don't want my teeth, I couldn't eat enough before, but now I want to think about it after eating a few more full meals, this problem, my Zhao family is not used to it!" ”
Fang's asked for two copper plates, and went out after being reprimanded, his heart was firmer, if Liu really gave the copper plates generously, Fang's heart was still guilty, she always thought that her mother would not take her man's hard-earned money like Zhiwan said, she should always remember that the child has two points, let alone two points, I'm afraid I have never taken it to heart, Fang knows that Zhao Siping is honest and sincere, and went out directly, if she doesn't rob the money, he will be stupid to say that he will take more and return it to Liu.
Zhao Siping was really puzzled, after buying the wood, there were still five dollars of silver left, Fang looked for him to take it, and looked at Zhao Siping left and right, "I won't give this money to my mother, Xiaocao has never made new clothes since he was born, give it to his mother, and then ask for it, you and I have to be scolded, so I will take it myself, and go back to Xiaocao to make a few new clothes, your clothes are also old, after making a child, I will make it for you." ”
Zhao Siping never dreamed that he would hear his daughter-in-law say this, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Fang bit his lip, "Do you think I'm not filial to my mother?" ”
Zhao Siping hurriedly shook his head, "I don't think so, I'm thinking that what you said is very right, anyway, you have to ask for it, my mother's temperament, asking for money is like asking for her life, we can't make her angry if we are really filial." ”
Fang's heart was relieved, fortunately, he didn't think she was unfilial, compared to Liu's dislike, she was more afraid of husband and wife centrifugation, Fang said boldly, "In the future, the shaker will be sold for silver, half of it will belong to me, and the rest will be given to my mother, I will not reach out to my mother to ask for money in the future, there are two copper plates in my hand, Xiaocao doesn't have to covet Xiaobao to eat candy, my mother won't buy it for her, I'll buy it for her." ”
Zhao Siping understood that his daughter-in-law wanted to save private money, "However, if your mother finds out, she will kill you." ”
Fang's was also worried about this, last year Wang's secretly bought half a roast chicken, which was discovered by Liu's, and finally almost took a break from Wang's, Fang's thought about it and felt terrible, Fang's retreated a little, but when he thought of the two taels of silver given by Zhiwan, Fang's heart hardened, "Zhiwan gave me two taels of silver, she didn't allow me to give it to my mother, she asked me to save it for Xiumei as a dowry in the future, this is also a private collection, I have hidden two taels, no matter how much I hide, it's nothing." ”
Having said this, Zhao Siping still doesn't know if he hasn't seen him for a long time, his daughter-in-law has changed, it turned out to be taught by Miss Qin, for Zhiwan, Zhao Siping was in awe in his heart, plus he gave silver and gave his daughter a dowry, which is a good thing, so he said, "There should be no mistake in what she taught, you can learn more from her if you have nothing to do, and half of the salary I do in the future will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and save it for our daughter to do dowry in the future, and when the time comes, she will be happier to marry less from her mother." ”
As soon as Fang Shi heard this, the stones in his heart finally fell to the ground, and the whole person was relaxed, looking at the sweat in the palm of his hand, he couldn't help but laugh, Zhiwan was right, she was too soft and timid.
