Mei Zhizhong looked embarrassed, "Do you think I want to?" Isn't it your sister-in-law who came together and found that there was nothing to eat at home! ”

"What?" Mei Zhijun thought he had heard it wrong, "Didn't Yali take half a bag of millet for you?" ”

Although he had always thought in his heart that Zhao Huiying only took half a bag of millet down, it was really okay, but Mei Zhizhong himself didn't say anything, and Mei Zhijun naturally wouldn't quarrel with Zhao Huiying in Mei Zhizhong's good days.

"The rice is gone." Mei Zhizhong smiled bitterly and dropped this sentence, and then followed the landlord's son to move noodles.

Mei Zhijun hurriedly followed over to help, and She Yufen, who came out of the house when she heard the sound, also carried Mei Yali and followed her to the small warehouse where the noodles were placed.

Declined the help of the landlord's son, Mei Zhizhong and Mei Zhijun each moved a bag of white noodles and walked to the house where Mei Zhizhong lived.

On the way, Mei Zhizhong lowered his voice and said to Mei Zhijun: "Yali's grandmother is leaving early in the morning, and your sister-in-law will leave her for dinner, and she refuses to stay, so I should have thought of it at that time." ”

Mei Zhijun's face was black, "Then you didn't see her carrying the rice bag away?" ”

Mei Zhizhong smiled bitterly, "How do I know that it is the rice bag in my stove room?" I've been so busy these days that I haven't even entered the stove room. If it weren't for your sister-in-law saying, I would have always thought that the bag she took away with Zhifeng was the rations she prepared for Xiao San'er (Mei Zhiming). ”

After a pause, he smiled bitterly again, "Isn't it the rations she prepared for Xiao San'er, don't you see that this is taken away directly, for fear that I will have a bite with your sister-in-law." ”

In order not to give food to the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, she would rather not eat breakfast and walk with a food bag on her back, and Zhao Huiying has no one who is "shrewd" about her blood relatives.

The brothers carried the noodle bag into the kitchen, and Zheng Juan was busy making pimple soup for everyone to eat for breakfast.

She Yufen put down the child and went to help, while Mei Zhizhong and Mei Zhijun stood in the courtyard talking with bitter faces.

"Thanks to you bringing me two bags of noodles, otherwise your sister-in-law and I would have to drink the northwest wind today." Mei Zhizhong sighed again and again, "How can you say that the old lady can be like this? Isn't this my face in front of your sister-in-law? ”

Mei Zhijun also sighed with him, "I said before that I didn't want to live with her, and the province quarreled, you still think I think about it too much, now you know, right?" If you marry a daughter-in-law, you will not be her son. ”

Mei Zhizhong looked at him with a smile and a smile, "Later, didn't I listen to you and let your family of three live at the landlord's house next door?" Why do you remember this? ”

Mei Zhijun squinted at him, "Can I not remember?" I was scolded by you! What kind of parents are everywhere in the world, what kind of mother and son have an overnight feud, what is she just a powerful mouth, what ......"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault, do I know I'm wrong?" Mei Zhizhong hurriedly raised the white flag and recognized it.

He now regrets his cheapness immensely.

He shouldn't have helped Zhao Huiying speak, and he shouldn't have given Mei Zhijun a political lesson when there were only the two of them.

The problem is that he didn't expect that Zhao Huiying could really go too far.

Mei Zhijun has been inseparable from Mei Zhizhong since he was a child, how could he not see what Mei Zhizhong was thinking, he snorted coldly, "This is who the knife does not cut, and no one knows the pain." ”

Mei Zhizhong's face turned red, "Zhijun, my brother really knows it's wrong, don't run me." ”

Mei Zhijun gave up.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, did her grandmother give you money for clothes and bedding?"

Mei Zhizhong looked confused, "Money for clothes and bedding?" What does it mean? ”

Mei Zhijun had a bottom in his heart, he stared at Mei Zhizhong and said slowly, "She told people all over the village that she had converted all the clothes and bedding you needed for marriage into money for you." ”

Mei Zhizhong's face was black, "Do you believe it?" ”

Mei Zhijun shrugged, "Don't you believe this!" ”

Mei Zhizhong covered his face.

He hated it for eternity...... No, what a broken metaphor this is.

He coughed dryly, "Do you think if she gives me money, I can get married in this dress?" There are also pillows and futons in my house, except for your sister-in-law's pillow, which is new, and I have just changed my face, and what should be in it? ”

Mei Zhijun patted him on the shoulder, "Don't you have money in your hands now, pull a few feet of cloth, buy a few catties of cotton, and let my sister-in-law make two new sets when she is fine." ”

Mei Zhizhong slumped his shoulders, "I've already spent more than half of the two hundred yuan." I borrowed the 30 yuan for the wine and the 100 yuan for the bride price. You gave me the 200 yuan, and I immediately took it and returned it to others. ”

Although there are still seventy dollars left, don't you need money to live?

With his little salary every month, if he doesn't save money, it's no wonder that he can live this life!

Mei Zhijun listened with a black line on his face, "Then do a set." You can't get married, you don't even prepare a new bedding. ”

Mei Zhizhong wiped his face, "Come on, I'll let your sister-in-law make a new set when the time comes." ”

Mei Zhijun hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't help but ask Mei Zhizhong, "My sister-in-law's mother's house, didn't prepare anything for her daughter?" ”

Mei Zhizhong looked around and saw that Zheng Juan was still in the stove room, so he relieved his heart and whispered to Mei Zhijun to bite his ear, "Your sister-in-law has four maiden brothers, and now all three of them are married to daughters-in-law, and they have long been squeezed into the poor and poor in the family, where is there any money to accompany their daughters." ”

Mei Zhijun's eyebrows were raised, "Aren't all the people in their place quite rich, how can they marry a daughter-in-law and be poor?" ”

"Hey! Don't you know, their families here have a lot of dishonorable gifts for marrying their daughters, and they also require the young man's family to give a large courtyard with a brick structure. Three main rooms, six wing rooms, and two façade rooms, you can calculate how much it adds up! ”

Mei Zhizhong shook his head as he spoke, "Your sister-in-law, her sister, and herself, all the bride price money of these two daughters in her family was used by her father to build a house for her youngest son." ”

What he didn't say was that the woman didn't have any accompanying property, which he had agreed with Zheng Juan's family a long time ago.

If it weren't for this, Zheng Juan would not let the locals not marry, but would marry him, a poor boy from other places who has nothing.

In particular, his family still has Zhao Huiying, a thief and an unconscious mother-in-law, who is pressed on his head.

Mei Zhijun frowned when he heard this.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Zheng Juan's parents - in their place, patriarchy is traditional, although the daughter is not without status at all at home, but the status depends entirely on what kind of parents she has.

Like She Yufen, her brother and brother can all study, but she is the only one who must stay at home to do housework.

is like Zheng Juan again, in order to marry her son a diligent daughter-in-law who can see the eye, her father even did not hesitate to marry his daughter low, just begging not to accompany the dowry to the daughter-in-law's house.
