Chapter 22 A chopstick is easy to break
Qian was excitedly touching the frame and cow with Wang, thinking that when he went to town in the future, he wouldn't have to walk, and he was happy in his heart!
Then I saw my daughter, who lost money, talking to her mother-in-law about saving a dowry, and suddenly her face changed, and she rushed over, first apologizing to Ning Pengpeng, and then scolding Ning Mian'er.
Hearing Qian's words of scolding Ning Mian'er for losing money and goods over and over again, Ning Pengpeng's face became darker and darker.
Seeing that her mother-in-law's face darkened, Qian was even more flustered, and couldn't help but reach out and poke Ning Mian'er's forehead.
It's just that before that finger touched Ning Mian'er, it was pushed away by Ning Pengpeng.
"Mother!?"
Qian looked at Ning Pengpeng with a panicked face, looking at a loss.
"Qian, how many times do you want me to tell you? You don't take yourself seriously, and you are willing to belittle yourself, that's your Qian family's business. No matter how others treat their daughters, my daughter of the Ning family is the treasure of the Ning family. If you dare to do it again, then go back to your money house early.
And these girls, if you really don't want it, then I'll raise it, and I'll take care of it.
However, when the time comes, don't think about letting them care about you in the future. ”
Originally, because of her mother's scolding, Ning Mian'er, who had light in her eyes, was like being poured down by a basin of water and was about to be extinguished.
Now that she is protected by her grandmother, after hearing her grandmother's words, the light in her eyes instantly lit up again like stars.
"The third daughter-in-law, go get a bag of beans for Mian'er. Mian'er, as many copper coins your aunt can get by picking up a bag of beans, you will get as many copper coins as you can. You can save this money for yourself, as long as you want to spend it, you can use it in a useful place.
As for the dowry, not only you, but also your sisters and cousins, your grandmother will also prepare a dowry for you all like your aunt.
But, in the same way, if you don't pick up the beans cleanly, if I check it out, I will deduct your dowry according to your aunt's punishment, understand? ”
When Wang heard his mother-in-law's assurance, his face was immediately happy, this is his own Hong'er's dowry!
Hurriedly brought a bag of beans over, placed it in front of Ning Mian'er, and said with a smile.
"The daughter-in-law has to thank Mian'er well, let Hong'er, who is her sister, get her light and get her mother's dowry for nothing."
"As long as you are poor, hurry up and cook, and after eating, you have to make pastries."
Ning Pengpeng glared at Wang, and then at her stomach.
"In the future, you will let the third child do the things of climbing up and squatting."
After speaking, she didn't glance at Qian from the corner of her eyes, and turned directly into her house to calculate how much silver she had spent these days.
After all, she had to harvest the sugar cane next!
Watching her mother-in-law enter the house, Qian's face was as white as a ghost.
Wang glanced at her, then turned around and went to the kitchen.
This made Qian even more angry, and he only felt that Wang was laughing at her.
It's just that now Wang is embarrassed in front of his mother-in-law, and if he quarrels with her, he will inevitably be scolded by his mother-in-law again.
looked at Ning Mian'er, the daughter who lost money, but saw that she happily took her three younger sisters around the bag of beans, lowered her head and picked up the beans seriously, and didn't look at her.
Qian couldn't help but cover his heart, he just felt that he couldn't live this day!
Originally, she thought that after the separation, she would be able to be the master of the house, but in the end, her mother-in-law still had the final say.
's husband, he can't beat a fart with three sticks.
gave birth to this group of girls, none of them were intimate, and they made her feel troubled.
This made the Qian family more and more determined, and he was determined to give birth to a son.
It's just that her grief is uncomfortable, and only she knows.
Ning Laoer's mind was all on the newly bought cow.
When Ning Lao Er returned to the house in the evening, Qian wanted to pull him to tell him about his inner distress and grievances, and all that responded to her was the snoring from time to time.
Ning Pengpeng didn't care what the Qian family thought, anyway, the words of warning had already been said.
Anyway, Xiao Wu doesn't seem to have anything else to do except pick up beans.
If the Qian family really doesn't know each other like this, it's a big deal to take over the four little ones, and then let Xiao Wu take care of them, which will also save her from being idle all day long, and go out to cause some trouble when the time comes.
Ning Pengpeng thought as he counted the accounts in his hand.
When the family was first separated, he counted the silver of the fourth and fifth families in hand, a total of fourteen taels.
These days, the amount of silver earned from making pastries is about thirty taels.
After deducting twenty taels of money for buying cattle and a frame today, there are only twenty-four taels of silver left in his hand now.
and asked the third child to make the pulp car, as well as the iron pot and tile pottery jar that the fourth child bought, and she estimated that she had to prepare at least ten taels of silver.
Then the rest will become fourteen taels of silver!
Nine taels of them are the silver that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu will spend to get married, as well as the silver of the two of them, and the other five taels are her pension silver.
Therefore, nine taels of silver must not be moved.
The only thing that can be spent next is her five taels of pension silver.
However, according to her inquiries these days, there are very few villages in their area that specialize in growing sugarcane.
On the contrary, there are many wild sugar cane forests in some wastelands.
Because no one cut it down to eat, the sugarcane forests grew more and more, and they became barren in patches.
Ning Pengpeng, who learned the news, was almost grinning to the root of her ears.
Only, even if it's a wild sugar cane forest growing on a wasteland.
I occasionally go to chop some to eat, and that's not going to be good.
But if a large number of people cut it back to squeeze the juice, if it is discovered, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary disputes.
The best way to do this is to buy up the wasteland of the wild sugar cane forest.
Eight or two acres of fertile land, two or two acres of dry land, this wasteland, to be honest, is really given to others for nothing, and others are disgusted to spend a lot of effort to dig this field full of intricate sugarcane roots.
But if someone really occupies these wastelands for nothing, they will definitely be talked about again.
Therefore, how to buy these wild sugarcane forests at the cheapest price is the top priority.
I don't know, is the five taels of silver in my hand enough?
"Enough, how not enough. It's just, aunt, are you sure you really want to buy those ten acres of wild sugarcane woodland? ”
Ning Youzhi heard Mrs. Ning's words, and agreed without hesitation.
However, after thinking about it, after all, it was the relative who broke the bones and tendons, and solemnly asked Mrs. Ning again.
Ning Pengpeng didn't expect that when she came to Lizheng's house this time, things would go so smoothly.
She glanced at Lizheng's old face, although he was older than her, he was younger than her. Thinking that since the separation, he has been standing on her side to help him speak, since the other party treats him so sincerely, he might as well help him.
After all, a chopstick is easy to break, and a chopstick cannot be bent.
