It is said that Shen saw Qiu Yu coming in crying with the child in her arms, thinking that something big had happened in the old house, so she hurriedly dropped the things in her hand and greeted them, and when she asked, she realized that it was because of the separation of Qiu Yu's mother-in-law's family, and Shen was relieved.

It turned out that Qiuyu's in-laws quarreled between her brothers and sisters to split up, and her mother-in-law also said that her sons would split up after they got married, no, it didn't take half a year to make a fuss, mainly because Qiuyu didn't have the appearance of an eldest sister-in-law, she was lazy to do it, and she couldn't go back to her parents' house at every turn, and she didn't do any work in the field, and the work at home was also done, and now she has a son, and she is the eldest grandson, and the housework is not touched.

Shen had a headache when he heard this, in fact, a long time ago, Shen saw that her personality was not suitable for getting along with her in-laws, she loved to be careful in everything, and she didn't like to work hard, but she didn't do it as obvious as Chunyu. But when I came to the door, I couldn't push it out, so I had to persuade: "Haven't you been looking forward to separating the family?" Now that your wish has been granted, why don't you like it? ”

"How can there be such a hurry to separate the family, the children are not more than 100 days old, the child's father is not at home, I am a woman, I can't help but knead them, give us half of the old house and send us away, a few of them occupy the new house, how can there be such a cheap thing? We're still the eldest sons and grandchildren. Second sister-in-law, you and your second brother should go to their house, talk about it well, don't let them think that there is no one in my mother's house? ”

"How many rooms are there in the old house? The three of them are crammed into one house, each family only has two rooms, you also have an unmarried sister-in-law, why do you bother to make do with it, isn't it better to live alone by yourself? No one cares what you want to eat, so you don't want to eat it. You didn't look at Xia Yu, although the family was separated, how much idleness was born when they lived together, and several times they got sick because they were angry with their mother-in-law. You see how appropriate you are. You don't have to make excuses to divide it, and I gave you half a house, and my brother-in-law's money can be carried by myself in the future. After a few years of hard work, if my brother-in-law comes back, he will build a new house. Isn't it better to live comfortably on the ground than you huddle together now? ”

Qiu Yu lowered her head and thought for a while. said: "The second sister-in-law said this, but it is also true, I don't like to do it anymore, and I can go to my father's side to make peace." There were three rooms in my half of the house, which belonged to the children and his grandfather and brothers, and that family has now moved away, leaving me alone. But I didn't dare to live alone. Besides, I don't think the house is too dilapidated. ”

"You don't dare to live alone, you can go back to your parents' house to live, and when your brother-in-law comes back, you can go back to live, it's not cheap. There is no one else around Hengzhi Daddy and Mother except Simao, and you are their most beloved little daughter, and Daddy and Niang only have the truth of joy when they see it. As for the broken house, when my brother-in-law comes back, I can repair it if I want to, and if I don't want to, I will clean it up a little. It's the same to live together first, and wait a few years to build a new house, how much is it worth when you cry like this? ”

"Listening to the second sister-in-law say this, it makes some sense. However, most of the silver that the child's father used to earn was handed over to his mother, and he only gave me two taels of silver a year, how many pieces can I have in my hand, who knows when I will have to build a house, I still expect him to save some silver to buy a shop, when will I go? ”

"No, you still have two taels in your hand, I think at the beginning, your second brother never gave us a son. You also saw when the family was separated, except for that little field, it was almost considered a clean house, and there was not even a place to live, if it wasn't for the help of my mother's family, I don't know where to endure the cold and starve? Now that you have split up, there is only one sister left in your brother-in-law's family, and one of them will not be sent for a year or two, there are many brothers in the family, and your father and mother will share less, so that your brother-in-law's silver can be left with a large head, why can't you understand such a good thing? ”

Shen mentioned that he broke up the family back then, which reminded Qiu Yu of the scene at that time, the second brother and sister-in-law slowly moved away with a bunch of children, and the feeling at that time was like two adults running away with a bunch of children, and he seemed to have laughed in his heart for a long time, but he never thought of helping them do something, but he was used to finding the second brother as soon as there was something at home.

Qiu Yu was a little uncomfortable when she thought of this, and said: "Although what the second sister-in-law said is reasonable, it's just that I don't have the ability of the second sister-in-law, I can build a new house in less than a year after separating the family, and my mother's family can help me, I bought such a big piece of land, how good this garden is, I don't have to worry about others if I plant some watermelons or anything, you see the eldest sister, I also planted watermelons as soon as they opened, and none of them came up, so that the ** in the village was harmed, I want to have such a big garden, and I will wake up with a smile when I sleep." ”

Shen guessed that she also wanted to help her buy land and build a house or something, but her situation was different from Xia Yu, not to mention that when she was a girl, she didn't do a lot of embroidery work to save money in her private house, and her husband could give two taels a year when she got married, and she should have a lot of silver taels in her hands, so why bother only thinking about others.

Thinking of this, Shen's heart was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "My sister's words are biased, how can the second sister-in-law be capable?" After the separation, most of your second brother's silver for a year was left to my parents, so I took a few children to plant something, otherwise what would I do with the food and drink of a large family? It is better to rely on yourself when you ask for others. How can you be like you, don't do anything, you can still have a brother-in-law to support you, plus you also have a good embroidery job, you now have fewer children, you don't have much money, and your father and mother can rely on, and you haven't turned over for a year or two? ”

Qiu Yu is a smart person, after listening to Shen's words, she also understood what she meant, she didn't want to block the road in the future, her mother's family is now left with this one is still reliable and can be relied on, and depending on the situation of this family, it will only get better and better, so Qiu Yu let go of the idea of asking for silver taels, and she can go back to her mother's house to eat and live, and it doesn't cost money, thinking of this, Qiu Yufu became happy again, and pulled Shen to say something else.

Ziqing saw that Qiuyu had gone home happily with the child after Shen's explanation, so she came out and pulled Shen's shirt and said: "Mother, a few of us bet in the house, saying that the sister-in-law will definitely borrow silver from the mother to build a house, I and the eldest brother and the fourth are in a group, saying that the sister-in-law will speak, the second brother and the junior group, saying that the sister-in-law did not speak, mother, tell me, who won in the end?" ”

After Ziqing finished speaking, Zifu and a few others also came out of the house, surrounding Shen to ask for results, Shen looked at these children with a smile, poked Ziqing's head, and said: "You have so many tricks, what kind of bet, if you want me to say, none of you have lost or won, your sister-in-law didn't mention it explicitly, just hinted at it, and when she saw that I blocked the words, she didn't speak." ”

"Even if she is smart and knows that she can't go all the way to the dark, my sister-in-law will always leave a way back for herself." Zifu said.

"It's a pity, I thought I could let the third brother carve a seal for free, and the pocket money was also lost." Zixi lamented.

Seeing that Zishou was smiling awkwardly, Ziqing hurriedly stepped forward and pressed him, and asked, "Little San, you didn't win either, what are you laughing at?" Hurry up and recruit from the truth, otherwise, I won't give you any good jade in the future. ”

Zishou was scared when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Where am I laughing at something?" I just feel that our family has saved a lot of money today, and I am a little happy. Fortunately, Daddy is not at home and goes to collect rent, guess if Daddy wants to give money to my sister-in-law at home? Why don't we gamble again? ”

"Okay, okay, I'm okay." Zixi called out first.

"Okay, you're big, can Daddy bet on it? This is called great disrespect, and you are still studying. Zifu gave Zixi a brain jump, Zixi touched his head and jumped up, looked at Zifu aggrievedly, wanted to say but didn't dare to say, just pouted.

Everyone leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, Zixi rubbed next to Shen, Shen laughed enough before touching Zixi's head, rubbing it helpfully, and said: "Don't worry, your father won't give her silver, and it's not that there is no way to live a life, your father also wants to open it now, and your father and aunt have also been heartbroken by your father and aunt these times, and you don't mention these troubles in front of him." ”

"That mother, I saved money today, can I add a few dishes? It's time to start school in a few days, and the food in the school is not as good as at home, and I want to eat braised pork trotters. Zishou asked.

"Mother, then I want to eat eel." Ziqing added, in exchange for a few pairs of white eyes, Zifu and Zilu pouted and smiled: "Every day loach field chicken, what kind of yellow eel do you want?" We're not going to catch that. ”

Shen smiled and agreed, and at dinner, Zeng Ruixiang looked at the table full of good dishes and asked, "What day is it today, so rich?" ”

"It's a day to collect rent." Ziqing replied seriously, and everyone laughed.

The Zhou family quickly broke up, Qiu Yu wanted to give two acres of paddy fields to others to plant, but was scolded by the old man, saying that it was really impossible to hire a short-term worker and do the work. Qiu Yu had no choice but to give up, and this season's late rice had been planted.

Here, send away Zifu, and two days later, sent away Zilu and Zishou, Zixi, Zeng Ruixiang didn't want Zixi to enter the county school so early, but he found that Zixi's understanding is very high, no less than Zifu, Zeng Ruixiang loves talent, and doesn't want to delay the child, so he asked Zixi's opinion, and Zixi is also willing to go. There were also two grandsons of the third mother-in-law's family, one was named Zeng Zijun, thirteen years old, and the other was Zeng Zixin, twelve years old, and the third mother-in-law also brought two children to the house to kowtow to Zeng Ruixiang and Shen.

So, the home that had been lively for a month was empty again. When parting, Zixi was in tears at Ziqing, Ziqing brought him up since he was a child, and his feelings were naturally deep, he helped him sort out the scarf and clothes, and found that he was only tall to his shoulders, I don't know if there is one meter two, and he is not yet eight years old, hugging him and instructing: "Sister is waiting for you to come back next month, work hard, remember not to be greedy and chew too much." ”

Originally, Ziqing thought that Lin Kangping would come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but who knew that he asked someone to bring a letter to Zeng Ruixiang, saying that time was tight, and he went directly to Hangzhou from Jingdezhen, and arranged things after returning to Beijing, and tried to return to Anzhou for the New Year.

Ziqing's hope was in vain, and he thought that he was running around this year, his clothes, shoes and socks were all old, and the last time he was dotted were summer clothes and spring and autumn clothes, this time he had time, so he simply made two winter clothes. (To be continued)
