After hanging the hoes, most of the men in the village went to the city to work part-time in the homes of large families.

Father-in-law and Wen Tao found a job to move goods, including food and housing, and they could earn about ten copper plates a day.

Wen Xiaolou's illness became more and more serious, he closed the door all day, and occasionally went out of the house only squatting on the ground and poking the ant's nest.

There were six people left in the family, two small and one fool, and three women who could only eat idle meals, and they had nothing to do all day.

When people are idle, it is easy to think about what they have.

Seeing this big family having a leisurely meal, the Zhang family moved the idea of splitting up the family again.

Wen Tao is now in the prime of life, and his physical fitness is not good, if he is more diligent, how can he earn two or three taels of silver this summer, plus the grain sold after deducting taxes, he will be able to buy a ploughing cow in less than three years.

With ploughing cattle, there is also hope, and such days are called days.

People live for a lifetime, who is not for themselves.

Although she has this idea, she will not agree to the separation of the family if she coldly proposes to divide the family.

What should be done to achieve the goal of separation, Zhang fell into deep thought.

Also upset is Shen Ni.

When she was not married, she could still play with those half-grown children, and now that she is married, she has nothing to do except listen to those women talk about their wives all day long.

She is an idle person, especially when Shen Bao has just recovered from a serious illness, Wen Xiaolou is seriously ill and difficult to treat, and she needs money everywhere, her heart is even more chaotic, and she always thinks about where to get some money to supplement the family.

After thinking about it, Shen Ni made a decision, that is, to go to the city to work and find a job that he could do.

I thought that my mother-in-law would support me, but I didn't expect that as soon as she said this idea, her mother-in-law vetoed it, and told her very clearly that this matter was not discussed.

In addition to being disappointed, she couldn't figure it out, why would she disagree with such a good thing, obviously she couldn't even eat the food? Why not find a way to make money?

Shen Ni is not deeply involved in the world, and it is normal not to know the key to it.

Don't look at this ravine, the place is not big, but there are a lot of things inside.

As long as there is a little wind and grass, this small village can give you a one, two, three, as soon as you enter the city with your front foot, someone will immediately say how you are not treated at home, or there are people in the city or something, this group of old ladies who are full of food and have nothing to do, the ability to catch wind and shadow is very strong.

I can't blame others, even my mother-in-law herself can't help but wonder if Shen Ni would be abducted if she entered the city.

Even his own family thinks so, let alone others.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it is also due to considerations within the family.

Wen Xiaolou is seriously ill, and she can't do without Shen Ni's care everywhere, if she leaves, Xiaolou's life will be sad.

What's more, she needs Shen Ni to stay at home to work now, so as not to give Zhang a chance to say that she wants to split up, she knows very well, and Zhang's recent careful thinking is also alive again.

Washing clothes, cooking, carrying water and chopping firewood don't seem to be much, but in fact it's not easy, Zhang's person is a little lazy, if Shen Ni leaves, and puts these burdens on Zhang's shoulders, doesn't that force her to say that she will split up? So, this matter is definitely not negotiable.

The idea was stillborn, Shen Ni was full of unhappiness, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that the family was poor, just such a way of living, it was strange if he was not poor.
