Chapter 118: Borrowing Money
It turned out that I had been to the meat case, and I didn't borrow it before I came to the house!
Although Aunt Ding didn't speak, she snorted coldly in her heart, if it weren't for her repeated orders not to allow the old man to lend money to his brothers and nephews, maybe they wouldn't have found the family to ask her at all, but borrowed the money in the meat case.
When Aunt Ding married Uncle Ding, the Ding family was really poor. Because Uncle Ding set up a meat case in the town after getting married, life is slowly getting better. The brothers of the Ding family became leeches, eager to bite the two of them and suck their flesh and blood clean.
They found excuses to borrow money and take meat, but they were all carrying their sisters-in-law behind their backs. Uncle Ding didn't feel inappropriate, his life was better, and there was nothing wrong with borrowing some for his own brother.
And they don't borrow much, but it's just ten cents.
Later, as the Ding family's meat case business got better and better, the appetite of the Ding brothers became bigger and bigger. If you borrow more money, it will change from a few cents to a dozen or fifty cents, and then to a tael of silver.
It was because Uncle Ding opened his mouth to borrow a tael of silver that Aunt Ding realized that something was wrong with the family's money, and inquired about the brothers in the family who didn't know how much money they lent out in the past few years.
That's it, Uncle Ding also kept saying that his family was having a good life, so he borrowed some for his brother.
Aunt Ding was so angry that she was separated from Uncle Ding, if she wasn't pregnant with Xiao Wu at that time, she might have really had a quarrel with Uncle Ding.
Because of this incident, Aunt Ding and Uncle Ding had a big quarrel, and even alarmed her uncle, who was the pavilion chief.
In the end, Uncle Ding promised not to lend money to his brother again, and if they wanted to borrow money, it had to be agreed by Aunt Ding.
It was also from that day that Aunt Ding began to be in charge of the family's money, and it has been until now.
"Sister-in-law."
Aunt Ding carefully peeked at Aunt Ding's face and asked softly, "Look." Isn't it going to be harvested in the autumn soon, and if there is no sickle at home, the rice will not be harvested. It's not, it's not really ......."
"How much to borrow?" Aunt Ding unceremoniously interrupted Aunt Ding's words.
"That's it...... Just ......" Aunt Ding's small eyes were spinning, and she didn't speak for a long time, so she could only raise her arm and smash Uncle Ding, "Old man, you say." ”
Uncle Ding's old face was black and red, and he didn't know if he was sunburned or ashamed, he was pounded by the old woman, and he was not angry, he only said in a rough voice: "Borrow, just borrow two taels." ”
Lu Yangge sat in the hall, slowly drank the last sip of sugar water, and squirted out a mouthful of sugar water when he heard the words.
This brother of the Ding family really dares to speak!
Borrow two taels of silver to buy a sickle, is this the gold-plated sickle that you bought?
His family had just bought the land, so they ordered three sickles at the blacksmith's shop.
One sickle is sixty-eight wen, three scythes are only more than two hundred, borrow two taels back, this is how many sickles to buy!
The relatives in the countryside are really big-hearted, and I am afraid that this silver will only be borrowed and not repaid, and it will not be enough to take advantage of it.
Hearing that Uncle Ding said that he wanted to borrow two taels of silver, not to mention Aunt Ding, even the three daughters-in-law of the Ding family changed their faces.
Ding's second sister-in-law directly threw the sack containing wild beans in her hand on the ground: "Third uncle, our family is not a gold shop, you always open your mouth for two taels of silver, is it true that our family's money is washed by flood?" ”
Third Uncle Ding only smiled and didn't speak, and Aunt Ding immediately screamed at a sharp voice: "Sister-in-law, look at your second daughter-in-law, there are no rules at all." You mother-in-law haven't spoken yet, when will it be the daughter-in-law's turn to be in charge. ”
Although Aunt Ding doesn't like to see her second daughter-in-law, compared to her own concubine, her elbow has to be turned in.
"What are you talking about, my second daughter-in-law is not bad, but that mouth is like a knife, his third aunt, don't worry about a child."
Aunt Ding said as she grabbed her concubine with one hand, raised it with the other hand and patted the head of the child brought by Aunt Ding, and asked softly, "Baozhu, why don't you call it grandma?" ”
Six-year-old Baozhu is the eldest grandson of Uncle Ding's family, and he is very favored by the old couple, and he eats, drinks and sleeps with his grandmother on weekdays.
Every time my grandmother came up to town, he would follow.
Grandpa's family kills pigs and sells meat, as long as he comes, every time grandpa gives him meat.
Before leaving, I can take a lot of things back from my grandfather's house.
Ding Baozhu's favorite thing is to come to his grandfather's house, and he also likes this gentle and beautiful grandmother very much.
Only this time, he stood behind his grandmother like a strange child, and he didn't want to get close to Aunt Ding at all, which aroused Aunt Ding's idea.
This time he was touched by the eldest grandmother, but he didn't feel happy, but threw it away dissatisfied, hiding behind his grandmother, and a pair of mouse eyes were round: "My grandmother said that the eldest grandmother is the worst, and the family doesn't give ......me so much money for killing pigs and selling meat."
"Smack......
Before he finished speaking, Ding Baozhu was slapped on the head by his grandfather: "Put your mother's stinky fart, when did your milk say it?" ”
With a slap, the pillar of Hu spun around on the spot and almost fell.
When did Ding Baozhu be beaten by his grandmother, this slap, where did he dare to speak ill of his big, and he just cried out in shock.
"Wow Wow Wow Wow ......"
"I didn't say that."
Aunt Ding Sanjiao watched her grandson being beaten, and she twitched in distress, but she also knew that what her grandson said was not good. I had to explain to Aunt Ding: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to a child's nonsense, this is not what I said." ”
It wasn't her, who would have said that?
Aunt Ding's eyes rolled, and she immediately thought of the two younger daughters-in-law who were the most disagreeable with her, and opened her mouth to come: "I remember, this was said by Baozhu's fifth grandmother and his sixth grandmother, and I have never said anything bad about my sister-in-law." ”
The Ding family has eight brothers and eight concubines, and the most greedy is Aunt Ding, who is the third in line, and then Aunt Ding Fifth and Aunt Ding.
Although the other brothers and brothers' daughters-in-law have also benefited from the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family, they are not as greedy as these three.
There is only Aunt Ding, she not only wants to be greedy for the things of the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family, but also because Aunt Ding and Aunt Ding Sixth have the same mind as her, and they don't deal with the two of them.
She only thinks that if others get it, she will get less. If these two brothers don't come to the eldest brother and sister-in-law's house to get things, aren't these things hers.
Aunt Ding's eyes flashed when she saw the intention of people outside the door, and she immediately smiled in her eyes: "No, the fifth brother and sister and the sixth brother and sister are not like that." ”
"Why aren't they like that?"
Aunt Ding saw that her sister-in-law didn't believe her, and immediately became anxious, and crackled and learned what Aunt Ding and Aunt Ding Sixth said about the eldest brother and sister-in-law on weekdays.
Of course, some of them were not said by Aunt Ding and Aunt Ding Liu, but by Aunt Ding San's own thoughts.
But because everyone has the same thoughts, she said it like this, and it turned out to be the same as the truth.
"Niu Dahua, you don't want a B-faced ......"
At the open gate, a woman rushed in like a whirlwind, rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Aunt Ding San.
