"You can't hold the money in the palm of your hand, or what? Buying an iron plough doesn't have a blast with the family?! ”

Liu angrily yelled at Li Houzhong, and Zhang's Jiang was busy persuading, "Mother-in-law, father-in-law is also for the good ...... of our family."

"He's for his poor brother!"

Liu slapped it on the table with a "snap", and saw his man shrinking his head and not daring to argue, and felt a little weak in his heart. In the past, when men loved to gamble, they were still a little manly, and those who made a lot of noise also had a manly character. In the past few years, she has become more and more afraid to breathe in front of her. Others say that she is spicy, if it weren't for her man's cowardice, she wouldn't still be that kind of character when she married a wife.

To put it nicely, what kind of relatives of his own, the price is fair, and he can't buy anything when he is late, and when he hears it, he knows that his younger brother is coaxing him. If it's really a brotherhood, why don't you leave a copy for his brother? Just let him buy it back in such a hurry, and he didn't even say hello to his family.

Liu was very angry, thinking that he had to take care of housework after pulling the children all these years, plus dealing with those relatives of the Li family, he felt wronged, and he cried while scolding.

"You don't know that your brother is going to marry his daughter? Chun'er, the eldest girl, didn't get married until she was seventeen this year, isn't it because your brother can't afford the dowry...... Now that he is blackmailing you with an iron plow, you are still happy to think that you have picked up a bargain, but you are a pig's brain...... Don't even ask the price, how can you use so much money for the iron plough now......"

Liu was clapping his legs and crying, and Shanzi and Xiaodou were carried to the West House by their second aunt. In addition to the old couple and two daughters-in-law in the family, only Li Xin is the only one who can speak. Seeing her mother like that, she also knew that a lot of things had accumulated together to reach a breakthrough, and she had to send it out, so Li Xin didn't persuade her, and poured a glass of water to moisten her mother's throat.

Fortunately, the door has long been closed, and there is a way that the ugliness of the family is not publicized. It's your own business how noisy your family is, and there's no need for others to see the jokes.

Zhang stood on the side and rubbed his hands, wanting to persuade a few words, but the sister-in-law was silent, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart. In her impression, in the past five years of marriage, except for her mother-in-law's mother-in-law who secretly wipes her tears in the house every year on her sister-in-law's birthday, she has never seen her mother-in-law cry in other situations. Everyone in the village knows that her mother-in-law has a spilled temperament, but there is always a handful of bitter tears when she is a mother, and now that she is also a mother, she naturally understands it more tightly.

Liu's voice slowly decreased as he cried. Since Li Xin came back, her emotions have been more changeable, and Li Xin can also understand that her mother's feelings that have been suppressed for five years are good if she can make a hair at this time.

I sent it to Mrs. Yang once, and I will send it again to my family now, and I will be fine in the future.

Li Houzhong sat silently on the side, and only after Liu's voice was lowered did he speak: "The third brother is not that kind of person......

"You think your brother is good, I'm just provoking your brother's feelings as a daughter-in-law, right?"

Liu raised his head and glared at him angrily, Li Houzhong didn't dare to say this anymore, and said instead: "The price of this iron plough is not high......

Liu didn't want to tell him this again, so he waved his hand to shut him up, "You just turn your elbow out, move the family's money out, and see if your good brother will turn his head to help you if something happens to you in the future!" ”

Liu's dissatisfaction with Li Houzhong's brother and brother is also due to the fact that five years ago, they did not take out the money to save Li Houzhong. She had to sell her daughter because she lacked so many taels of silver, but they stopped paying for it, and told her that their family was also in difficulty, and they still had to eat or something. Even if Li Xin's matter was known to them later, they didn't see any regret expressed by them, on the surface, she was like a nobody, what if she slowly repaired with their family, she was not uncommon! These two families were seen through by her, and they didn't want to associate with them anymore. But because of the affection of relatives and the fact that she can't break off the relationship with others, she can only have contact with them by Li Houzhong, and as for her, she is 10,000 unwilling to be involved with them.

Now that the iron plough has also been bought, she can't put aside that face and tell people to return it. But she decided to hold the family's money to death, and she didn't give any money to Li Houzhong. The ten taels of silver that Xin'er gave can be said to have been saved by Xin'er over the years, so it was easy for him to feed his white-eyed wolf brother...... When she thought about it, she felt heartbroken.

Liu stopped scolding or crying, turned around and went back to the main house, covered the door, found the money, and found a place to bury it again. Li Houzhong was quite honest, and he obediently put the rest of the money back. Looking at the remaining eight taels of silver, Liu seemed to be able to see how Xin'er was struggling in that kind of place, and his chest was immediately dull, and the joy brought by what he said to Li Taozi in the morning was gone.

When Li Dalang and Li Erlang came back and felt that the atmosphere at home was not right, they each went to ask their own daughter-in-law. Li Xin smiled and beckoned them to the table to eat, and waited for San Lang to come back at the door of the house. No one spoke at the dinner table, and everyone looked at Liu's eyes. Liu Shi had a calm face, sat at the dining table and didn't speak, his eyes were on the outside of the courtyard, where Li Xin was waiting for Li Ming to go home.

When Li Ming came back, Liu opened his mouth when everyone was eating together.

"Today your father bought an iron plough and spent more than a tael of silver. We won't talk about this in the future, but today I want to set a rule for my family. Liu said and looked around at his family, and when he saw that no one spoke, he said: "In the future, if you want to buy something, if you have a large amount of money, you must talk to your family." It's absolutely not okay to buy whatever you want on a whim, even if it might be beneficial to your family. Do you understand everything? ”

"Yes, mother."

"Got it, mother."

The three sons of the Li family replied one after another, Li Houzhong was silent, and the Liu family didn't bother to care about him, he took a few bites of the sweet potatoes in the bowl and ate them, and stopped the chopsticks after two mouthfuls of dishes. The second daughter-in-law, when it's empty, I'll catch a chicken and clean it up, and I'll get up in the morning and stew a soup. ”

The Jiang family hurriedly responded, and the chicken was still Erlang who secretly went to Yang's house to catch it and came back to fight his chicken. Liu clapped his hands and stood up, "You eat slowly, I'll go see the pig." So saying, he went to the pigpen.

Li Houzhong also stripped off the sweet potato and wheat millet rice in the bowl in a few bites, and looked at the sky outside the courtyard that was getting darker with some distraction, and sighed for a long time.

There was nothing to do in the evening, Li Houzhong took the bamboo strip and sat on the threshold at the door of the hall, thinking about making a slightly larger bamboo basket, and was chopping the bamboo skin with a knife, Li Xin came to him with a bowl of strong tea and sat down next to him on the threshold, and called softly: "Dad." ”

Li Houzhong was busy, and he put down the knife and took the tea bowl at a loss. Li Xin watched him take a sip and take the tea bowl back, but he didn't leave, just quietly next to him.

Li Houzhong said uncomfortably: "Why don't you go to sleep yet?" You don't have good bones, so you need to rest. ”

"I'm resting, my bones are falling apart, and it's not good for my body." Li Xin said softly, her eyes involuntarily looked at Li Houzhong's rough hands, and she sighed lightly and said, "Dad, don't blame your mother for losing her temper, she is also for the good of our family." ”

"Eh, dad knows, knows."

"Dad, you don't keep quiet, and you suffer the grievances in your heart, so you can't do it." Li Xin raised her hand to support her chin and said slowly: "Although I haven't been at home in the past few years, I also know that the relationship between my father and my mother is not very harmonious. For my sake, you two blame yourself for blaming yourself, blaming each other blaming each other, and the two of you are sometimes like enemies. Speaking of which, we are a family, and I don't care about things, and you don't need to hold your breath in your heart. ”

Li Houzhong didn't speak quietly, Li Xin looked at him and persuaded: "My mother has been in a lot of mood swings during this time, and her speech is not good, and she is also venting her grievances that have accumulated for many years. But the words are not rough, and there is a reason for the mother to have a grudge in her heart. The third uncle is your own brother, you have no dissatisfaction with him, and it is reasonable not to defend himself, but my mother is separated from the third uncle and their family. What my mother cares about in my heart is our family, for our family, if my father feels uncomfortable today, close the door and talk to my mother, but in my father's heart, you can't blame my mother for complaining about my mother. ”

Li Houzhong nodded slowly, sighed, and his voice was a little choked, "It's an old husband and wife, and I know what kind of character she is, I don't blame or complain, she has paid too much for our family over the years, and I don't fight ......"

"Dad was a good gambler at the time, but now he has changed. Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good things are great, and the past things are in the past. ”

Li Houzhong's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded busily. Li Xin said: "When a family lives, they always have to be discussed, and when they encounter problems, they have to let their families take ideas, so that they can live a good life." Don't be so honest in the future, as the old saying goes, brothers, settle accounts. Now that my father and uncle and uncle are separated, each family has its own affairs and cannot be mixed together. Mother doesn't like the uncle and the third uncle, but she didn't stop her father from communicating with them, did she? Brotherly affection is important, and the friendship between husband and wife is also important. In the evening, my father went back to the room and talked to my mother, ah. ”

Li Houzhong still nodded, "Girl, I have lived longer than you, but I haven't seen things through yet." ”

Li Xin just patted him lightly on the shoulder, and the broad shoulder that he had when he was a child now has only a handful of bones left. Mom and Dad are old.
