Xia Shouping also knew that his cowardice had wronged his wife, but he grew up in the majesty of his mother since he was a child.

His wife is a good wife, giving birth to children for him, and he doesn't think he has no ability, so many years of hard work with him, he also feels sorry for his wife, especially when his mother wronged his wife, he wanted to stand up and protect his wife many times, but his mother glared at him, and he immediately lowered his head spinelessly.

Now, Huang Liuniang is angry and ignores him, and Xia Shouping is completely panicked.

He accompanies him every day and treats Huang Liuniang thoughtfully, only asking his wife to forgive him.

As the saying goes, "before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans", Qingming and spring ploughing always come at about the same time.

A few days after planting the land, Mrs. Xia asked the big tiger to call Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang, saying that she would discuss the matter of sweeping the tomb and worshiping the ancestors on the Qingming Festival.

Xia Shouping went to sell candy and was not at home, Dahu shouted Huang Liuniang a few times, and Huang Liuniang pretended to be asleep and ignored him.

Qingbao hurriedly said that her mother was sick, and her father would come back in the evening, and she would go back in the evening, and send the big tiger away.

When Xia Shouping came back in the evening, he didn't even have time to eat, so he hurried to Mrs. Xia's.

After coming back, Xia Shouping said to Huang Liuniang in a sneering manner: "My mother said that this year's ancestor worship and tomb sweeping will be handed over to the three of us, and she doesn't care about it." This year, the ancestor was worshipped, and the ancestral hall was still opened by the patriarch, and each family pooled money to do the big three animals. Our family should pay 780 yuan, and our three families should pay 260 yuan. The sister-in-law said that she would pay 200 yuan for a chicken to sweep the tomb this year, and the fourth brother and sister said that she would buy a fish and also pay 200 yuan. My mother said that she bought a duck and made up a small three animals, and it was complete to worship our ancestors. ”

As soon as Qingbao calculated this account, he knew that he had suffered a loss again.

Seven hundred and eighty wen, remove four hundred, and his family will produce three hundred and eighty wen. It was supposed to be 260 Wen, but now it is 120 Wen more, although the Yang family has a chicken, but this chicken is domestic, even if it is caught and sold, it is only 20 or 30 Wen, which is worth 60 Wen? Fish is even cheaper, three or four catties of fish is not even twenty wen.

Sure enough, after listening to Xia Shouping's words, Huang Liuniang sat up and pointed at Xia Shouping with her finger and was about to speak, but her hand trembled for a long time, and she didn't say a word.

Qingbao was afraid that Huang Liuniang would have a heart attack or something, so she just wanted to step forward and touch her chest to smooth her breath, but she saw Huang Liuniang swooping down the kang, and lifted the cabinet lid away with a bang, and then took out a cloth bag from the cabinet, lifted it up and threw it to the ground.

Wow......

The ground was sprinkled with copper coins and a few pieces of silver.

Huang Liuniang shouted in a hoarse voice: "Here you go, there is so much money at home, all for you, you take it, all for your mother, I can't live this day, you scumbag, I've had enough with you......" After that, with tears on his face, he ran out like that.

Xia Shouping was taken aback by Huang Liuniang's violent reaction, and stayed in place in a daze, as if he was a little overwhelmed.

was half angry at him like this, Qing Bao yelled at him: "What are you doing, go chase it!" ”

Xia Shouping woke up like a dream, and Deng Deng Deng ran out.

Huang Liuniang's crying and running away obviously frightened the four pillars, and they all shrank on the kang, and no one dared to squeak.

Qingbao sighed, picked up the cloth bag, squatted down to pick up the copper coins that were rolling, and the four pillars saw Qingbao picking up copper coins, and they all spontaneously got off the kang and helped pick up copper coins together.

Picking it up, Sizhu suddenly whispered: "Second brother, Liuya, you say, will my mother not want us?" ”

At the mention of the word "don't", the four pillars all showed frightened expressions on their faces, and in their opinion, being abandoned by their mother was the most miserable thing in the world.

Jiaqiang's mother in the village left Jiaqiang and his sister and ran away, Jiaqiang's father didn't care about them, the two children were dressed like beggars, they hadn't eaten a full meal, and their hungry eyes were sunken.

Seeing that Wuzhu was about to wipe away his tears in fright, Qingbao had to comfort them and said, "It's okay, as long as we hide all the money and don't let my father find it, my father won't suffer." You can remember, you don't allow your father to take a penny in the future. ”

Erzhu asked: "Dad goes to sell sugar every day, and he has money in his hands." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, we will count how much sugar there is every day, and when we come back, we will ask Dad to take out the money, and it will not be enough to have a penny. Second brother, you always go to sell candy with your father, you must count the money, don't let your father hide his private money anymore. ”

Erzhu nodded in agreement.

Qingbao counted out two hundred dollars, wrapped the rest, and asked Erzhu to dig a pit in the corner of the hall and bury the money in it.

Afraid that someone would find out that they had touched the soil, Qingbao and Erzhu also hugged a bunch of messy things and piled them there.

Huang Liuniang has nowhere else to go, she must want to run back to her parents' house, which can be thought of with her eyes closed.

Since Xia Shouping chased after him, there was nothing to worry about.

Qingbao asked Erzhu to give her a hand, made the candy, and then washed and slept with confidence.

Until early the next morning, Huang Liuniang did not come back, and Xia Shouping did not come back.

Qingbao got up and made some porridge, and the five brothers and sisters made do with it.

After eating, Qingbao personally went to Mrs. Xia, threw one hundred and ninety-three copper coins on the kang, and said to Mrs. Xia who was full of surprise: "My mother is sick, and my father took my mother to the city to see a doctor." There was only this money left in the family, and my father asked my grandmother to take it to worship my ancestors. That's all, no more. Qingbao deliberately took less, so that there were bits and pieces, and it looked like they were barely put together.

Mrs. Xia said unhappily: "How can this money be enough, it's far away, go back and tell your mother, let her send me the rest as soon as possible." ”

Qingbao shook his head and said: "There is no money in the family, my father let me bring it, my mother doesn't even have money for treatment, and I went back to my grandmother's house to see a doctor." ”

Mrs. Xia also knew that her son's family was in difficulty, and it would be good to come up with some money, so she quickly put the money away, and still instructed Qingbao: "Tell your mother, I will help her with this money first, and let her pay me back when I have money in the future." ”

"Got it." Qingbao promised on his lips, but said in his heart, you should wait and pay it back......

Back at home, Qingbao asked Erzhu and Sanzhu to carry sugar, and he and Sizhu and Wuzhu followed behind, and the five brothers and sisters went into the city to sell sugar.

When they arrived in the city, the second pillar took four or five pillars, Qingbao and three pillars, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, and they were sold from the north and south cities at the same time.

The more people there are, the more power there is, and by noon, the candy will be sold out.

After selling the sugar, Qingbao took the four pillars to his grandmother's house to see Huang Liuniang.

When I arrived at Huang's house, as soon as I entered the door, Qingbao saw my eldest aunt Li standing outside my grandmother's window, listening carefully to the movements in the house, and listening to the concentration, I didn't even notice that Qingbao and the four pillars were coming.

With this look, she knew at a glance that she was listening, and Qingbao shouted loudly: "Auntie, why don't you stand under the window and not enter the house, how cold is this?" ”

Li Shi was startled, turned around and forced a smile: "Erzhu Liuya is here?" I've just gotten out of breath, and I'm here to rest against the wall. ”

The window opened with a snap, revealing Huang Liuniang's haggard face.

"Sister-in-law, you have to walk slower in the future, this weather is cold, and you really love to be angry when you walk fast......"

Li Shi knew that he was at a loss, and said with a sneer: "Yu'er is saying that she misses her younger brothers and sisters, but it just so happens that Erzhu and they are coming, so I will call her to go." Then he turned and hurried away.

Huang Liuniang looked at the direction she walked away and sighed, and then said to Qingbao and them: "Come in." ”

After entering the house, Qingbao was surprised to find that there were only Huang Grandma and Huang Liuniang's mother and daughter in the house, and Xia Shouping was not in the house.

The brothers and sisters called their grandmother a salute, and Qingbao asked, "Where is my father?" ”

Huang Liuniang said angrily: "Go home." ”

Qingbao didn't ask any further, it could be seen that hahahaha and his mother were very angry this time, and they would definitely not leave Xia Shouping to live in his mother's house.

got that her niece and niece hadn't eaten yet, and Grandma Huang went to the kitchen to explain the food herself, and the four pillars were already hungry, so they went to the kitchen to eat.

Qingbao took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house and told Huang Liuniang about sending money to Mrs. Xia today.

Hearing her daughter say that she didn't give more money and gave less, Huang Liuniang's grievance came out.

She smiled and nodded on Qingbao's head: "You kid is a ghost." ”

Qingbao looked left and right at no one, and asked Huang Liuniang: "Mother, how many days do you plan to live here?" ”

Probably because of her daughter's mature performance these days, Huang Liuniang felt that Qingbao could discuss things like an adult, and she said sadly: "How many days can you stay?" Didn't you see your aunt staring at me like a thief? ”

Qingbao came to her side and said: "Mother, when I was selling sugar today, I was catching up with a few grandmothers who often buy candy chatting together, so I went over and told them about the situation of our family, and they gave our family an idea." ”

Huang Liuniang glanced at Qingbao first and taught her a lesson: "You are not allowed to talk to others casually about things at home, if you are heard by someone with a heart, you must have an accident." Seeing that Qingbao nodded, he asked in a low voice, "What idea did they come up with?" ”

"They said that since grandma and aunt are not easy to get along with, our family still has to go to the city every day to sell sugar, so it is better to move to the city to live." In fact, this idea was thought up by Qingbao herself, and she was afraid of arousing Huang Liuniang's suspicion, so she lied that she was asking someone else.

As soon as Huang Liuniang heard that she was going to move to the city, her head shook like a rattle: "No, I don't even have a place to live when I move to the city, so let's sleep on the street as a family?" Besides, we still have land, move to the city, and the land will not be planted? It's not good that the house is always empty, and the house that no one lives in will collapse in a few years。。。。。。。。 ”
