Aunt Jin was washing dishes in the kitchen and asked loudly, "Yuanbao, who is outside?" ”

"It's me, your good sister!" He Runan said with a malicious smile.

As soon as Aunt Jin heard this, she immediately stopped what she was doing, and while wiping the water stains on her hands with her apron, she walked towards the door.

"What are you doing here? After I slapped you a few times last time, I have made it very clear to you that there is no sisterhood between you and me! How? Don't you think those slaps are enough? Do you need me to slap you a few more times? Aunt Jin asked coldly and stiffly.

Don't blame her for being ruthless!

Don't blame her for being ruthless!

Her affection and kindness had been wiped out by her in the ruthless erasure she had repeated over the years.

She thought she could talk to her sister calmly now, but when her sister came to her with bad intentions, she realized that she couldn't!

Yes, someone will take revenge, how can she be calm after being a white-eyed wolf for so many years?

Why should she be calm?

She is the one who has been wronged!

She is also the one who is bullied!

Her sister has been an out-and-out vested interest for decades!

After He Runan heard her mention of those slaps, her face suddenly became ugly, she subconsciously touched her face, gritted her teeth and said: "Those slaps you gave me, I will have to return them sooner or later!" ”

Xiao Yuan stood in front of Aunt Jin, opened his arms to protect Aunt Jin, and snorted his millet teeth at He Runan, looking fierce.

Jin Dalang heard the movement and also stood behind Jin Damiang.

Jin Erlang also stood behind Aunt Jin.

Jin Saburo also stood behind Aunt Kim.

……

In the end, even the medical immortals stood up.

There are many people on Aunt Jin's side, and she is as weak as the man's side.

He Runan took a step back and said timidly: "Okay, you have a lot of family, I don't care about you!" I'm here today to tell you something else! ”

As he spoke, He Runan stabbed Aunt Lin beside him.

Aunt Lin blushed, and she was a little embarrassed to speak.

"You say! Didn't we say it well when we came? Why are you at her doorstep and you can't open your mouth again? "How can a man hate iron but not steel.

"I, I'm ......" Aunt Lin can't pull down this old face in the end.

After all, this is not the first time that you have not believed in your words, this is the second time you have not believed in your words!

No matter how big her face is, she is embarrassed to open her mouth again!

"Say, this is about your daughter's happiness for the rest of her life!" He Runan urged.

Aunt Lin took a deep breath, as if she was on the battlefield, and said with a stalk around her neck: "That, the old sister of the Jin family, that's the case, didn't I say last time that as long as your Jin family can also come up with thirty taels of silver, I will marry our peach blossoms to your eldest man?" When I came home and thought about it, I thought it wasn't right! ”

"What's wrong?" Aunt Jin asked eagerly.

"Originally, I thought it was quite appropriate, but yesterday," Aunt Lin glanced at He Runan with a weak heart, and directly sold He Runan, "Yesterday, your sister-in-law, accompanied the old couple of the Wen family, and went to our wonton shop again!" The old couple of the Wen family said that they still like our daughters very much, and think that our daughters are beautiful, gentle, generous, and hardworking. And most importantly, most importantly, ......"

"The most important thing?" Aunt Jin then asked.

Aunt Lin pinched her hands embarrassedly and lowered her eyelids: "The most important thing is that a fortune teller knocked on the door of the Wen family early yesterday morning.

"The fortune teller gave their son Wen Qin a quick hexagram, saying that their son must marry a rabbit girl, and the rabbit girl must have wood in her name, otherwise, their son will not live for three years!

"They thought about it, isn't our girl a rabbit? Isn't there wood in our daughter's name? So here they go again.

"Think about it, isn't this saving a life better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter?

"The people of the Wen family also mentioned that as long as our family is willing to marry the peach blossom, they are willing to pay double the dowry, which is a full sixty taels of silver! They are also willing to buy a new house, two in and two out! ”

Actually, this fortune teller was found by He Yunan.

She can't see the Jin family!

I'd rather pay out of my own pocket to find a fortune teller to deceive the Wen family!

This is called harming others and not benefiting oneself!

But she's just happy!

Because of the pain of those slaps, she still remembers it!

She can't wait for all the people of the Jin family to die, not to mention just a marriage that disturbs the Jin family?

"So you're repentant?" Aunt Jin asked more eagerly.

Aunt Lin looked away and nodded: "Yes, I regret it."

"Yesterday, the old couple of the Wen family came over with your sister, and the attitude of the Wen family was very sincere, and your sister kept telling me how poor and difficult your family is.

"Aside from the dowry of sixty taels of silver that their family is willing to give, the wedding room is also a big deal!

"Your sister said that your house has three bedrooms.

"You two live in the same room with Jin Qilang;

"Jin Dalang, Jin Erlang, and Jin Saburo live in one room;

"Kinshiro, Kingoro, and Kinrokuro live in one room.

"Our peach blossom got married, and there is no extra bedroom to get married!

"When the time comes, where will you let the little couple live? You can't make a floor in the mountain temple at night, right?

"I think your sister is right, I promised your family's marriage too quickly that day, and it was indeed my inconsiderate decision.

"That's why I came out today to get out of the marriage! I have brought the dowry of thirty taels of silver, take it back! ”

After Aunt Lin said this, she lifted the thick cloth covering the basket, revealing the small box inside.

She opened the box, and the thirty taels of silver were prominently displayed.

"I won't take this money! We all said it at the beginning, how can you go back on it? Aunt Jin was angry and aggrieved.

Aunt Lin was more aggrieved than her: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, you can also pity us!"

"If it were you today, you wouldn't be willing to think that your daughter would marry and not even have a vacant wedding room!

"My daughter is not a beggar's wife, she follows men everywhere to find a place to sleep!

"Anyway, I can't agree to this marriage now!

"If you want to say that I don't believe in my word, then say that I don't believe in my word!

"Even if my reputation in the town is ruined, it won't change my decision today!"

As she spoke, Aunt Lin picked up the small box and forcibly stuffed it into Aunt Jin's hand.

Xiao Yuanbao hurriedly said: "Then can you wait?" ”

"No! The people of the Wen family hope that their son and our daughter will get married this month! Aunt Lin shook her head.

"Give Sister Lin a chance! Give my big brother a chance, too! The little ingots folded their hands together and prayed, "My father and mother once told me that if you have to become a wing, why not die, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal!" That is to say, as long as you can be with your beloved, even if you are a fairy, you will not envy it! In other words, if they can't be with their beloved, even if they are made the Jade Emperor, they won't be happy! ”

Aunt Lin was a little hesitant, but she still refused to let go.

"A month! A month is fine! Little Ingot opened his watery eyes and pleaded pitifully, "As long as you are merciful and willing to give us a month, we will definitely build you a new house!" Build a very big and good new house, so that Sister Lin will not have to worry about having no place to shelter from the wind and rain! ”

"But I've already promised the Wen family......"

"Can you drag it off?" The little ingots pulled Aunt Lin's clothes.

She looks like a jade girl sitting down with Guanyin, delicate and cute.

When she showed such a pitiful expression, the Yama of the underworld also had to be soft-hearted.

Aunt Lin nodded unconsciously.

"No! How can it be delayed for a month? What if I have a lot of dreams at night? There are more rabbit girls in this town, and there are more than one peach blossoms in your family! There is a girl with wood in her name, and she may not be able to find a second one! If you drag it any longer, beware of the cooked duck flying! He Runan immediately jumped out again and acted as a-stirring stick.

"Compassionate Aunt Lin, you must think about it, if you can't let Sister Lin marry her sweetheart, even if she becomes the Jade Emperor, she won't be happy!" Little Ingot repeated.

"Okay, then I'll take a gamble!" Aunt Lin made up her mind, "I bet that the Wen family will not regret it within a month!" I'm betting you'll be able to build a new house in a month! ”

"Thank you, Aunt Lin!" Little Ingot said crisply and sweetly, "Aunt Lin, you are so good!" We'll do it! ”

"Shut up, you dead girl!" He Runan became excited, pulled Aunt Lin violently, grabbed Aunt Lin's shoulder, and shook it vigorously, "You can't be impulsive!" I can't afford to gamble on this kind of thing! You must not be impulsive! This is the happiness of your daughter's life! ”

"It's because it's my daughter's lifelong happiness that I have to gamble once! I have to give the Jin family a chance," Speaking of this, Aunt Lin's voice became cold, and she looked at everyone in the Jin family, "But I'm going to say ugly things ahead, if you don't build a new house within a month!" Then I will definitely marry my daughter to the Wen family! ”

After Aunt Lin said this, she took back the small box containing thirty taels of silver, turned around and left.

He Runan followed her.

The people of the Jin family closed the door and sat in the courtyard.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was gloomy.

Aunt Jin gently touched the head of the little ingot, she knew that the little ingots were doing the right thing, if there was no little ingots to delay the time, I was afraid that the marriage between Jin Dalang and Lin Taohua would be completely yellow today.

Actually, it's not that you can't start with Lin Taohua.

Lin Taohua has a strong temperament, and Aunt Lin dares to come over and withdraw from the marriage, she must be hiding it from her.

I'm afraid that after this, Aunt Lin will always hide from her, and every time she secretly goes to the Wen family to discuss the matter of getting married.

Even, the dowry will be accepted behind people's backs.

When the time comes, Aunt Lin may also collude with her relatives to keep Lin Taohua in the dark, and then put a hijab on Lin Taohua, and marry her like this.

Of course, this is a more modest approach.

This practice is too cumbersome, and it needs to be concealed in every way, and nowhere can it be revealed.

Under Aunt Lin's approach, if Aunt Jin ran to Lin Taohua and said what her mother did, there might be room for all this to turn around.

If Lin Taohua is forced to die again, Aunt Lin may not be able to twist her arms and thighs.

But what if Aunt Lin used ungentle means this time?

If it is not a gentle method, it is Aunt Lin who cried, made trouble and hanged herself at Old Man Lin, and said that all this was for Lin Taohua's good.

When Old Man Lin compromised, she tied Lin Taohua with a rope, and then chose the nearest auspicious day of the zodiac to let Lin Taohua and Wen Qin get married as soon as possible.

"It has been five days since we went to the Lin family to be hired, and we sell three hundred tea eggs a day, and we can earn six hundred dollars a day, and it will be three taels of silver in five days; We sell fifteen catties of bean sprouts every day, and we can earn one tael and five dollars of silver, and it will be seven taels of silver in five days. In the past five days, we have earned a total of ten taels and five cents of silver. Aunt Jin said.

The whole family nodded.

"That's just enough to build an adobe house and a straw roof. To build an adobe house, you need glutinous rice syrup, bellflower rods, fine loess that you need to filter several times, and lime, and glutinous rice and lime have to be bought with money, and it costs a lot of money. To build a house, you have to erect pillars, put up beams, build adobe bricks, and build a roof, all of which have to be paid to the master and apprentice who built the house, and you have to take care of people's breakfast and lunch every day, and you have to have vegetables and meat, otherwise you are afraid that the master will not give you a good job. Aunt Jin continued.

"Shall we build an adobe house?" Xiao Yuan tilted his head and asked seriously.

Aunt Jin shook her head: "How can it?" The house that the Wen family wants to buy in the town must be a blue brick house, if we build an adobe house, don't say that your Aunt Lin will not agree, your aunt will be the first to jump up and oppose it! When the time comes, there will be another wave of restlessness! ”

Old man Jin shook his head and sighed: "Your mother, you have discussed with me for a while, saying that it is to replenish my body, but also to let Xiao Yuanbao grow well, in addition to fish, chicken, duck, and pork are used every day at home...... can't be broken, and the food is not a small amount of money.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and a few broken windows and doors have to be replaced, otherwise, I am afraid that my family will catch a cold at night, so why bother to get sick? I have to spend money on medical treatment, and I have to suffer a sin.

"Your mother also said that the quilt at home is too thin, the quilt core is also hard, and it feels cold when it is covered, so you can barely fall asleep by huddling together to keep warm.

"The quilt cover at home is very old, and if you use a little force, it will tear up, and the quilt cover has many patches, and it can no longer be covered.

"The family had to spend money to go to town to rip cloth and sew a few quilt covers.

"I want a quilt with your mother, Xiao Yuanbao is only five years old, and now he can build a quilt with Qilang, and the other six children can leave a quilt for each of them, and a total of eight new quilt covers must be sewn at home, so I have to go to the cloth shop and pull some cloth!" It costs a lot of money!

"When the quilt cover is sewn, let's stuff some reed catkins and catkins into it, and it will be warm this winter."

The Great Dragon Kingdom has not yet popularized cotton, nor has it popularized kapok.

At present, cotton is only grown in small quantities among ethnic minorities, and the vast majority of people in Dalong Country do not know the beauty of cotton.

In winter, the poor man's quilt is stuffed with reeds, catkins, and straw, and the rich man's quilt is stuffed with duck down and goose down.

The Jin family listened to the words of Old Man Jin and Aunt Jin, and became more and more silent.

They know that it is not only a matter of changing doors and windows, not only of getting better food, not only of sewing quilt covers, but also of the Jin family wearing tattered clothes, and it is time to change their clothes! Shoes are going to be changed too!

Several pairs of shoes in the Jin family are showing their toes.

You need money everywhere, and now you have to build a house!

Just replacing the doors and windows will cost two taels of silver.

Eight quilt covers, to tear so much cloth, at least two or three taels of silver.

The whole family changed their clothes, changed their shoes, and made the food better.

Ten taels of silver were spent, and there was really nothing left.

After that, when Mr. Chen repaired the house, the little ingots still have to study!

Studying costs more money!

Now, Jin Dalang wants to build a brick house, what can I do?

"Mother, if we want to build a blue brick and black tile house, how much money do we need?" Little Ingot asked curiously.

"In the lotus village next door, Jiaohua's uncle made a windfall before, and built a brick house last month, and when I was washing clothes in the morning, I heard from others that a room alone would cost thirty taels of silver."

"How can it be so expensive?" The little ingots were puzzled.

"Green bricks are also expensive, labor is also expensive, no matter how it is not cheap," Aunt Jin shook her head, "We still have to call those people in the village who are willing to help, go to the ownerless mountains to cut a few tall logs and come back, when the time comes, there must be a vegetable and meat to entertain people to eat a good meal, so as not to be rude." ”

"Well," Old Man Jin nodded and lowered his head, "Green bricks are expensive, and tiles are also expensive. Burning green bricks, clay weathering takes half a year, and it has to be crushed and sifted, and it has to be kneaded several times with a water wheel to knead into a clay mass, and then you have to use a mold to make bricks, and the bricks have to be dried in the shade for half a month before they can enter the brick kiln. The brick kiln will be burned for another ten days before it can be released! You say, there are so many processes, can this brick not be expensive? We have to build a big house, how many bricks do we have to buy? Tiles aren't cheap! ”

Tiles are not cheap, only the patriarch, Lizheng, Xiao Yuanbao's father, Yuan's big house and the Tai family can build tiles on the roof in the village.

Because they have money!

"That's why it's so expensive to have a room cost thirty taels of silver!" Little Ingot nodded.

"More than thirty taels of silver," Mrs. Jin shook her head, "a stepping bed, a wooden table, a wooden cabinet...... What doesn't you need money? Hit these wooden furniture, it's not cheap! ”

"How long will it take to build a house?"

"Chopping wood, laying foundations, pulling bricks...... And then put all the furniture in, it will take at least half a month! The workers' money, the brick kiln money, and the furniture money have to be given in advance! Our local area is different from other places, there is no rule for a given deposit, and it has to be given in advance. "Aunt Jin is very annoyed.

That means that in the first half of the month, you have to get the money ready.

The Jin family relied on selling tea eggs and earned eighteen taels of silver a month.

The Jin family relied on selling bean sprouts and earned forty-five taels of silver a month.

He earns sixty-three taels of silver a month.

In the past half a month, it is thirty-one taels and five pieces of silver.

If you find someone to make furniture in advance, it will be cheaper, but at that time, the Jin family couldn't afford to make furniture.

If you go directly to the store in town to buy the finished product when the house is almost finished, it will be much more expensive, but at that time, the family can barely come up with the money to buy furniture.

However, money can't be stuck too hard!

You never know when an accident will happen and you will inexplicably add a lot of money.

It is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to put the money card too dead.

Always prepare the extra money in advance so that things will go smoothly.

"My own father and mother once told me, how to make a fortune? We must open up sources and reduce expenditures! Xiao Yuanbao supported his chin with both hands, and said seriously, "Dad, mother, let's card the money too hard now, it's not reassuring after all, let's open source and reduce expenditure!" ”

"How can it be as easy as you say?" Aunt Jin sighed, "Forget it, Yuanbao, you can fight for us for a month, you are already great, don't worry about the rest of the things." ”

"Well, let me think about it," said the little ingot, holding his little head, after thinking for a while, "Oh! I have a great idea! ”
