Chapter 423: A Strange Reason
really responds to the old saying, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and there must be a few birds when the forest is big. Lan Yi was in the Yang family's house, and after listening to her words, she was a little speechless to the Zhang family.
"Fourth brother and sister, thanks to you telling me this, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there are so many things!" Lan Yi first thanked Yang for his kindness.
Yang smiled, "It's not a useful matter, it's just a reminder to the second sister-in-law, so that you don't suffer a loss in a daze." However, with the temperament of the second sister-in-law, the fourth aunt dared to say a few words behind her back. ”
Lan Yi smiled bitterly, "Look at what the fourth brother and sister said, where do I have any temperament!"
Yang covered his mouth and smiled. Although Lan Yi was the latest and youngest of the five of them, she was also the most powerful. This kind of awesome is not the kind of sloppy jokes of ordinary daughters-in-law, who are loud and ignore the three points, on the contrary, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is the first to talk about reason, if she encounters unreasonable, she also dares to shave her ears and fan it.
Looking at her eyes, don't say much, we all understand, Lan Yi didn't have any overseas Chinese affection, and then asked, "I don't go out much, and I haven't dealt with Aunt Si'er a few times, does she treat others like this, or is it just for me?" ”
"How can I say it, the fourth aunt has a good temperament and is strong, and she loves to take advantage of it. After the second sister-in-law married in, you and the second brother had the best life in our family, but she couldn't get any benefits from you, so it was inevitable that she would be angry. Yang thought about it again, "There is another point, that is, the fourth aunt treats the seventh brother as a pain in the eyeballs, and the second sister-in-law said that the seventh brother is equivalent to poking her eyeballs." ”
Lan Yi nodded, "I also thought of this." Why is the seventh brother studying at home alone? What if you don't go to the county school in the county? "In the Great Zhou school system, the Yixue in each village is a Mongolian school, and children over the age of eight are admitted to school. Children study for four or five years in the volunteer school, and if they read well and have a decent family condition, they will be sent to the county school or state school by their families to continue studying. In addition to Mongolian studies, the county school also has doctors and assistant professors to teach more orthodox learning. Since he wanted Zhou Weijiang to go to the scientific examination on Thursday, he should be sent to the county school.
Speaking of this, Yang's eyes became subtle. "I sent it, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt raised money to send him to the county school when the seventh brother was twelve years old, but I didn't expect that he would come back by himself within three months and say that he would not go. Grandpa asked him why. You know what? ”
Lan Yi thought for a while, "Could it be that the seventh brother has a conflict with his classmates in the county school?"
Yang shook his head slowly, "No, Seventh Brother said." The food in the county school is too unpalatable. After eating it, he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't sleep well at night, so he couldn't study at all......"
Lan Yi was dumbfounded when she heard this, is this okay?!
"Then let him go?"
"Grandpa was so angry that he beat him, and the seventh brother just didn't go." Yang pouted, "The fourth aunt saw that the seventh brother had really lost weight, and she felt sorry for her son, so she stopped sending it." The seventh brother did not go to the county school. Under the door of a gentleman who runs a private school in the county, he will go to the private school for a few days every month to study and then come back. According to the fourth aunt, the gentleman praised the seventh brother for his clear heart and eyes, and he was born to read a book. ”
Zhou Weijiang's heart was clear, she really didn't see it, "It's not too early, the fourth brother and sister still have to go to the stream to wash clothes, I should go back too." ”
Yang nodded, "Second sister-in-law, there is something I want to ask you." Do you know how much money the second brother spent to build a house? ”
At the end of the year, after the youngest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Weiyu, the sixth of the Zhou family, got married, it is said that he can divide the family for several sons. After the separation, Zhou Weipeng and his wife want to move out with their children to live their own small life, and the Yang family has been looking forward to this day for a long time, but they don't dare to say it openly.
"Fourth brother and sister, you also know your second brother's temper, he won't tell me these things." Lan Yi was telling the truth, she really didn't know how much money Zhou Weiji used to build the house, "However, I know that soon after building the house, he took care of his family affairs and emptied your second brother's money box." ”
Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, Yang still smiled and said, "The second sister-in-law is really capable, how long has it been since she got married, and the second brother of the family's money box has been handed over to you." ”
In fact, he handed it over to himself as soon as he got married.
Lan Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Fourth brother and sister, although I don't know how much money was spent, I also know that it was a lot of money. You might as well let the fourth brother ask him directly, we don't know what the materials used to build the house are. ”
Yang nodded, in fact, she had urged Zhou Weipeng to ask Zhou Weiji several times, but Zhou Weipeng refused, saying that it couldn't be covered with the money in their hands.
Yang didn't give up, so he thought about asking his second sister-in-law. Moreover, although Zhou Weiyu can be separated after getting married, his father-in-law mentioned before that if he wants to divide the family, he has to wait for the yard to build a new house.
According to the rules of ordinary people in the village, the total cost of the common three halls, east and west wings, and circle yards should be around ten times, and two sets of courtyards are twenty times, which is already a considerable amount of money. And to build a house, you also need to prepare a lot of things, such as buying rice for cooking, etc., which adds up to a lot of expenses. If there are two sets of courtyards like Zhou Weiji, it is absolutely impossible.
The couple on Tuesday are already considered enlightened, although they have not yet been separated, but if the two married sons do some small business or go to the city to work, they don't have to pay kilometers to earn money. The Yang family has saved a few dollars in the past few years, but it was all spent on buying peonies on the hillside and owed Lan Yi more than seven dollars. If it weren't for the fact that they went into the mountains to pick wild fruits last year, plus the money they earned from selling cold skins, they would not have been able to plug this hole until now.
Now I just hope that the peonies on the hillside will bear seeds soon, and then they can be sold at a good price.
"What the second sister-in-law said is," Yang stood up, "Second Uncle Wang's family will build a house next spring, and the big yard must be no worse than the yard of you and the second brother, and the life of the Wang family has become more and more prosperous in the past two years." The big courtyard came together, and compared the old Wang's family in the south of the village. Second sister-in-law, you said that Widow Zheng is so decent, how can she do something like stealing people. ”
Lan Yi didn't answer, took Wenxuan out with the Yang family, and said goodbye and went home. Widow Zheng's matter, she didn't think about it, after Widow Zheng's husband died, she wanted to find a new home, which was not wrong, and the people around her had no intention of stopping her from remarrying. However, the fault was that she didn't love herself, so she easily handed over her body to someone who was not worthy of trust, and finally ended up like this.
She is a poor person after all, but there must be something hateful about poor people.
Thinking of the source of Widow Zheng's inability to get along with herself, she also fell in love with Zhou Weiji.
Lan Yi couldn't help but be a little curious, how did Zhou Weiji, who had not shaved his beard at that time, and his broken yard fall in love with Widow Zheng? (To be continued.) )
