Xie Huiniang was really disappointed in Li Changping, and went back to the west room and began to pack up her things.

Li Changping saw that the Hun family had returned to the room, thinking that she would be fine after thinking about it, so he went to the hall to eat.

Because of the large population of the Li family, men and women have always eaten at separate tables. Turning his head to see that his mother Li Zhang's family sent the Sun family to eat all the rice, thinking of Fang Cai Huiniang's appearance with a cloak, he was a little distressed after all, so he asked his mother: "Mother, why did you eat all the rice?" Don't leave a few for Hui Niang? ”

It's good that Li Zhangshi didn't listen, but when he heard it, it exploded like an artillery battle.

"You still think about your mother-in-law and those two who lost money, why don't you want to think about your mother-in-law and I are angry with her? The clay man down - there is also a spiritual child, why did I give birth to your elm pimple, married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother? Her mother's family is rich because of her lack of morality, and she looks down on us as a poor family, so what kind of sorghum and millet soup do you eat? Keep her mouth to eat chicken, duck and fish, I can't afford to raise that young lady and delicate mouth! Li Zhangshi smashed his chopsticks and scolded him cracklingly.

Li Changping shrank his head and didn't dare to speak again.

Sun diligently took another pair of clean chopsticks and handed them to Li Zhang, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be angry, you are angry for her, she may not be able to give you money to see your illness!" ”

"She won't, will you?" Li Zhangshi sat down to eat and glanced at her, "I see that you were hiding from me yesterday to buy things at the merchant's stall, where did you get the money?" ”

"Oh, my mother, our family's money is in the hands of you and my father, where is the money in my hands!"

Sun's Hu Tian called out for grievances, "I want to make clothes for Sheng Wensheng Wu Shengbin to pull fabrics, their skin monkeys are growing bigger day by day, their clothes are torn and small, and the cotton wool is exposed, how can they wear it?" Even the second child of your family, he doesn't have a good pair of shoes, and he walks in the village every day with the broken shoes with his toes exposed, and loses his family! Mother, you have to feel sorry for your son and your grandson, how about you give me a few pennies......"

"Money! Money! Money! As soon as you open your mouth, it's money! If you don't know how to be a family, it's hard to be a family, and it's a dog to be a family for three years! There are many people in our family, and they all ask me for money for food and clothing all day long. Our family goes to the toilet to eat melon seeds - less in and more out, where can I get some money for you? The money I earned from selling grain was not enough to eat, so I asked me to give you money all day long! ”

As soon as Li Zhang's heard that Sun's request for money, his triangular eyes widened, and he glared at Sun's, "People's mother-in-law still knows how to spin and weave cloth, pick up some clothes, cover and wash, and earn a few dollars, you will kick the West Gate and the East Gate to wander around, you look all over the village, which threshold has not been stepped on by you?" ”

Sun's words were so boring, but she never felt that her family was wrong, and said with a smile:

"Mother, I also feel sorry for your son and your grandson! I also want to earn a few bucks, but there is not much pulp and laundry work in the county, and it is cold in winter, and it costs firewood to boil hot water! I want to embroider and embroider purses, but I can't compare to the three brothers and sisters, ghosts, elves, I am a hundred-year-old pine tree, a plantain in May-a person with thick branches and big leaves, where do I do that fine work? I can make some money by weaving a few pieces of cloth! ”

As he spoke, Sun glanced at his sister-in-law Qian, and said with a smile: "Just like the sister-in-law, she sits in the house every day and weaves cloth, and she can't earn one or two silver a month?" If you want to give me that loom, I won't say much every month, and I have to honor my mother as much as I earn! ”

Qian, who was picking vegetables for his youngest son Shengtai, listened to these words to sow discord, and knew that Sun's idea of beating his own loom, not to be outdone:

"If the second brother and sister have no reason, you can inquire all over the county, who can earn one or two silver a month for weaving cloth? If the weaving silk and yarn are about the same mile, you must also have a loom and capital for weaving silk yarn. My mother and daughter got up early in the morning to spin black threads and weave coarse cloth, and at night they lit oil lamps and weaved in the shadows, and their eyes were smoky! In addition to the cost of buying thread and lamp oil, I only earn two dollars of silver every month, all of which are hard-earned money, and I am filial to my mother. ”

Qian stole a glance at her mother-in-law, and when she saw that she was expressionless, she secretly screamed in her heart, I am afraid that her mother-in-law really took care of Sun's provocation.

She hurriedly said to the Sun family again: "You are the only mother-in-law in the second room, is it better than my mother and daughter combined?" What's more, this loom is a dowry given by my mother's family, do you still want to be greedy for my dowry? ”

She turned her head and smiled at Li Zhang's family: "Mother, you are well-informed, and you know that the most popular ones in the county are the three-shuttle cloth and muslin cloth in Songjiang Prefecture, and the coarse cloth woven locally cannot be sold at a price!" The next time we go to sell cloth, my mother will go with me, and I will know that I am a sincere person who says one, not the one who is neat and simple......"

"Got it, you don't need to say much, just weave your cloth well, no one can snatch your loom!"

Li Zhangshi waved his hand, interrupted her, and turned to Sun again: "Don't pick and choose all day long, carpenter's saw—there are many sharp ideas!" I'm tired here and too far there, I think about other people's things every day, and I keep purring all day long, I'm actually a lazy thing! ”

Seeing that the goal was not achieved, Sun Shi suffered a number of failures, and his heart was so boring.

Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Sun coldly, and stopped talking.

The women and children at this table didn't mention anything because of money, and the men of the Li family over there were also talking about making money, and they talked about the Xie family.

"Speaking of the Xie family asking someone to work, I think you can go!" Li Yongcai was eating, clicked his mouth, and said suddenly.

"What? Dad, didn't you want to see the Xie family, why did you suddenly say that you asked us to give them a short-term job? Boss Li Changhe wondered.

"That's it, Dad, it's a cold day, how good is it to be at home in winter, what kind of short-term work are you going to give his Xie family?" Li Changwei held the bowl and said with a hippie smile: "His family is also worthy of miles!" ”

Li Yongcai didn't answer, pointed his chopsticks at the third Li Changping, and asked, "Third child, come on, would you like to help your Yue's family?" ”

Li Changping looked at his father's face, and saw that his father was not unhappy, so he said a little expectantly: "I think, it's okay!" Being idle at home is also idle, and Hui Niang said that her brother-in-law and his brother are also helping out at his house...... However, of course, my father has the final say, and my father will let me go, and if my father doesn't let me go, I won't go......"

Li Yongcai knew that it was useless to ask the third child, he was an honest pimple, and he didn't have any ideas of his own.

"One of you is short-sighted, one is a slacker, and the other is a wreck!"

Li Yongcai put down the bowl and pointed out it one by one with chopsticks, "His Xie family is a tofu seller-set up a big shelf, so the money can be distributed to others, not to his relatives?" ”

"Besides, if you go to his family to work for a short time, does his family dare to call you as workers? Let's do it for an overseer in front of my relatives! When the time comes, you don't have to exert any strength to die, just shout and shout. You can't sit down with those mud-legged people and eat casually every day, you have to have wine and meat every day! ”

Li Yongcai looked at the eldest son who suddenly realized and the second son who was getting more and more excited, only the third child was stunned, ignored him, and continued:

"Other workers pay 40 yuan a day, and their relatives go to help his family, do they only give 40 yuan? Anyway, you have to pay one penny a day, and after doing this, one person has three taels of silver a month, isn't it nine taels for your brothers? ”

"Dad, you can still do it!" Li Changwei was overjoyed, and when he saw his father glaring at him, he quickly changed his words: "I mean Dad, you have a long-term vision, and we can't think of it for a while!" ”

"Third child, didn't my daughter-in-law say that she wanted you to help her Xie family? Then hurry up and say to your daughter-in-law, saying that the brothers are all gone, it is enough to give him the Xie family face! Li Yongcai said to Li Changping, who was stunned there.

Looking at his father's serious face, Li Changping didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly got off the table and went back to the West Ear Room.

Li Yongcai saw the third child walking away, glanced at the two sons, and whispered: "The third child has no idea, and the lamp grass is a crutch—he can't be decisive!" I'll say it, and you two will listen. I heard that the Xie family planted the shed vegetables and sold them to the county restaurant, and they sold for more than one or two miles in one basket, and he sold hundreds of baskets, didn't he get it for a few hundred taels of silver? You went to his house to help, and secretly learned, can't we grow that shed vegetables when we come back? A good deal to make money is much better than working part-time jobs for others! ”

The brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were eager to leave immediately to learn the way to cook in the shed.

said that Li Changping rushed back to the room, but saw that the room was empty, it turned out that Xie Huiniang had taken advantage of their family's breakfast in the hall to secretly return to her parents' house with Li Ying, Li Lian and Sheng Lin'er.

He went back to the hall in a panic and said that Hui Niang was missing, which caused Li Zhang's to scold angrily.

Li Yongcai's face was also pale, saying that Xie Huiniang was with three children, and they were women and children, and they must be walking slowly, and asked the Li brothers to catch up immediately, and Xie Huiniang of the province went home to complain, and it was a big deal.

So it happened that Hui Niang returned to her parents' house, and the three brothers of the Li family all followed.

After listening to what his daughter and son-in-law said, Xie Wang's brows furrowed, if it weren't for the Li family brothers who were still here, they would definitely scold and drench the blood of the dog scolded by Li Zhang.

Seeing that the Li brothers kept saying that they were here to help them, Xie Wang's family couldn't drive them out, so they had to welcome the three of them into the hall and slowly ask for their intentions.

Xie Wang's heart was puzzled, where did the Li family have such good intentions? I'm afraid that the white bone spirit sent food to Tang Seng - not well-intentioned! But he can't kick out the people who come to his door to help, but let the neighbors gossip about their own family, which is the time to attract people's attention.

The three brothers of the Li family sat down at the table of the eight immortals in the hall, Li Changwei crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a big grin: "Auntie, my father heard that the Zhuangzi of the Kai family asked for a short-term job, and everyone was a relative, saying that even if we are busy, we have to help our in-laws." No, I came with my three brothers? ”

As he spoke, he clicked his lips, "I've been driving such a long way, and I'm really a little." Auntie, don't go through any pork and chicken, give our brothers some ends, we are busy on the way, and we are also a little thirsty, no matter whether it is good wine or bad wine, bring two altars! Just remember to help the family, we didn't have a good breakfast! ”
