Chapter 15 Reign of the Family
Zhao Yunlan went to the upper room to find Wang: "Mother, I have borrowed the money back, this is a thousand yuan, you can put it away." ”
Wang looked at this string of good copper coins, a little unpleasant, "Let's put the money first, you go and see if your father has finished their work, if they are done, call them back." ”
"Hey, okay, mother, I'll go to the field."
Zhao Yunlan arrived in the field here, and looked at Old Man Li with a few of his two younger brothers and some villagers around and didn't know what they were discussing, "Dad, are you busy?" ”
"Sister-in-law, the work in the field is almost over today, I'll go back later." Li Mingli walked over and said, and as he was talking, he saw Li Mingming coming down from the mountain in the distance.
"What are they talking about, daddy, talking for so long." Zhao Yunlan
"Dad, they talk about this year's wheat, worried that the harvest will be bad, a few days ago there was a lot of rain, the ground is too wet, fortunately the weather is good in the past two days, Dad, they are worried that there will be more rain in the future, hey." Li Mingli said.
Zhao Yunlan looked at the sky, and couldn't tell if it would rain later, and there was no weather forecast in ancient times.
Zhao Yunlan said, "Look at the sun in the past two days, I hope the rain won't come too densely, just go and call my father home first, my mother has something to do." ”
Li Mingzhi hurriedly ran to Zhao Yunlan's side, "Sister-in-law, I picked a little fungus and a little mountain fungus, hey, I just didn't have the luck to pick up pheasants." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "These things are not bad, how can there be so many pheasants waiting for our old Li family to pick them up." ”
Li Mingzhi smiled: "I saw Uncle Zhang and Uncle Erzhu looking for wild boars in the mountains, but I didn't dare to join in the fun." ”
"Well, it's good to know, we don't know how to hunt, so don't go to make trouble for others, let's go back." Zhao Yunlan walked home as she spoke.
When the Li family and his party returned home, Li Mingren came out of the house and went to the upper room together. Xiaomei poured a bowl of water for everyone and waited for Wang to speak.
Wang took out the original 1,100 yuan, and took out the 1,000 yuan borrowed by Zhao Yunlan from his arms and put it on the table.
The eyes of the family were focused on the copper coin, and Zhao Yunlan looked at the Wang family: "Does my mother have any arrangements?" ”
Wang looked at the size of the Li family, and said with a firm gaze at Zhao Yunlan: "Lan Niang From today onwards, the money will be handed over to you, and I really don't have the energy to take care of this family, otherwise this family would not have come to this point." It's all my mother's bones. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Mother, the body will be well raised, and it is not appropriate to put the money here for me, so I still have to keep it by myself." ”
"I won't change it if I leave it to you, and if others have any opinions, they can say it now." Wang looked at Old Man Li and the Li family brothers and sisters.
Old man Li was silent, and there was no dissatisfaction, and the Li brothers and sisters had no opinion, Li Mingmei "Mother, we all agree, my mother will take care of her body with peace of mind, and we all listen to my mother and sister-in-law." ”
Li Mingren showed that he didn't listen to what was going on outside the window at this time, and for him, this kind of problem of who cares about money is just a family trivia that delays him from making a fuss.
Zhao Yunlan looked at the Wang family, and the Wang family glanced at the eldest son and said: "After all, our Li family can't stand you, and you have to take care of these things if you get married, but now the Li family can't stand the toss, I will hand over the money to you, that is, I will hand over this family to you, and in the future, the harvest in the field, your younger siblings and the money earned by their helpers will be handed over to you, but in the future, you will have to help your younger siblings get married." ”
When Li Mingmei heard that she was married, she lowered her head shyly.
Li Mingyi said: "Mother, I have no plans to get married for the time being, so I don't have to worry about my affairs this year." ”
"It's up to you to decide the matter of getting married, you have to delay, and your brothers and sisters will delay it with you."
Li Mingyi: "Mother, I got married by myself, and I can't be the master anymore." ”
Old man Li slapped the table: "Lao Tzu is still there, who do you want to be the master?" ”
Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingyi and wanted to say something: "Second brother, don't say a word." He turned his head and looked at Li's complexion again, and then continued without any change, "Mother, the second brother is also dedicated to this family, hey, let's not talk about marriage for the time being, no matter whether I take care of the family or not, as long as the second brother has a family that can be seen, I, as a sister-in-law, will definitely help." ”
Wang sighed a sigh of relief: "My mother will hand over this family to you, and I, the mother, am not completely abandoned, if you are not sure about anything, you can consult with me." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Mother, since this is the case, I will no longer shirk it." I'll take over this family for the time being, mother, I won't be polite to you, and don't say anything to me anymore, since I have become the daughter-in-law of the Li family, I will not live up to your trust and our Li family. ”
"With your words, my mother will be content, you can arrange this money!"
Zhao Yunlan took the two large strings of copper coins, and some loose copper coins, gave Li Mingren 1,200 wen, and then divided the remaining 900 wen into nine parts, "Little sister, go get some shorter ropes, I won't need to put away this long rope." ”
Li Mingmei found a rope, Zhao Yunlan stringed it according to each hundred Wen, and then arranged it, "I will first set aside my mother's medicine money, and some urgent needs at home, I said two hundred and fifty Wen before, I want to keep three hundred Wen, keep a little more, this is another six hundred Wen, I set aside two hundred Wen for meat money, this family should raise a body, mother's illness is also, eat more nutritious, conducive to recovery." ”
Li Zhizhi scratched his head: "Sister-in-law, what is nutrition." ”
Zhao Yunlan sighed in her heart, well, it's wrong to say more: "It's probably something delicious, I don't know very well, but I also heard it." ”
Li Mingzhi still scratched his head, and Zhao Yunlan forked away, "Okay, I'll keep the rest of the money first, and then make arrangements when I go to the town to have a look." ”
The Wang family didn't ask Zhao Yunlan what to do in the town, since he handed over the housekeeping rights, he had to do it without stretching out his hand.
"Ming'er, the eldest goes back to the town, you go with you, there is a care on the way, the second and third Ming'er also go to the town to see if there is any work, there is not much work in the field during this time, and the fourth is almost at home with your father."
Zhao Yunlan thought that she would be able to enjoy the big bed alone tomorrow, she was so happy that she couldn't help but smile on her face.
Li Mingmei looked at Zhao Yunlan and smiled, "Sister-in-law, have you thought of any good ideas?" ”
Zhao Yunlan knew that Li Mingmei had misunderstood: "Hehe, I won't tell you, let's go, let's make dinner." ”
Everyone went out of the upper room, and the Li brothers followed their father to the back mountain to cut bamboo and came back, planning to make some baskets, and Li Mingren went back to the room to review his homework.
Wang himself sat on the edge of the bed and watched Xiaobao grinning, as if he saw hope.
After eating in the evening, Zhao Yunlan fell into a panic again, and kept comforting herself in her heart, Li Mingren only stayed for the last night, insisted on insisting, and Li Mingren would not mess around, but she was still panicked in her heart. I think that I haven't even been in love for more than 20 years, and it's too painful to come here and sleep with my so-called father-in-law.
Li Mingren was reading at the end of the bed as usual, and Zhao Yunlan took the washed Xiaobao to lie on the bed, and could only sigh in her heart: Sleep, sleep, if you fall asleep, you don't know anything.
After a while, Li Mingren heard the sound of a large and a small breathing, and Li Mingren lowered the sound of flipping through the book, as if he wanted to be filled with something.
Another good night's sleep, Zhao Yunlan was once again annoyed that she could sleep in this situation, hey...
