Chapter 20: When Have I Ever Fooled You?

Wang Yimei frowned and looked at her puzzled.

"Why?"

"My mother's body is too weak to drink chicken soup."

Liu Dongmei couldn't say that there was a fox lying on her mother's body.

The fox's favorite food is chicken.

If you can see it but you can't eat it, it will get angry.

It's just that I can't say this, and no one will believe it, so Liu Dongmei can only make an excuse.

"You don't know how to heal, what do you know? People with weak bodies drink chicken soup, which is just right to make up for it! ”

Wang Qimei didn't believe her words, and was about to go inside with the soup.

Wang Dachuan stood up in time and took the chicken soup in her hand.

"I went to the pharmacy with your sister-in-law today, and the doctor said that my mother can't drink chicken soup." Wang Dachuan put down the chicken soup: "I'll cook something else for my mother in a while, and you don't care." ”

"Is it really the doctor?"

"Of course, when did Big Brother lie to you?"

"Okay!"

Sister Wang pursed her lips and returned to her position and sat down.

Liu Dongmei turned her head to look at Wang Dachuan.

I didn't expect this honest man to lie for her.

Wang Fugui looked at the white rice, and his face was a little unpleasant.

"Okawa, haven't we always eaten brown rice in our family, why did you suddenly change to white rice?"

"Dad, our family's land deed has been redeemed, and today I made some money. I just thought about buying some white rice and coming back to improve my life. ”

"The title deed was redeemed, but the money didn't come from the wind. A bucket of white rice is more expensive than a bucket of brown rice, but it costs 40 yuan, and no matter how rich you are, you can't waste it like this! ”

Wang Fugui shook his head, a little distressed about money.

Wang Dachuan understands Wang Fugui, but he doesn't want Liu Dongmei to be wronged, so he can only take the responsibility on himself.

"Dad, I know!"

"Big brother, I think this big white rice is not what you want to buy!" Li Sishu glanced at Liu Dongmei, and then looked at Wang Fugui: "Dad, don't you know, sister-in-law also bought an ox cart and came back today." I asked Widow Liu next door before, an ox cart will sell for at least ten taels of silver! ”

"So, I'm still expensive."

Liu Dongmei pretended not to understand that she was provoking, and deliberately pretended to be distressed.

Wang Fugui originally thought that there might be a misunderstanding here.

Hearing her admit it, a face instantly collapsed.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you doing when you have nothing to do with buying an ox cart?"

"Dad, I think about it, I want to go to town to do business. Our house was a bit far from town, so I bought an ox cart to get around. ”

"You...... The ox cart is so expensive, how can you be willing to ......"

Seeing that Wang Fugui was angry, Wang Xiaojiang hurriedly got up and helped him smooth his back.

"Dad, don't be angry. I don't think there's anything wrong with my sister-in-law buying an ox cart, after all, I have to go to the town every day, and walking will get out of the cocoon. ”

"Erlang, you didn't say that. How expensive is the ox cart, how can my sister-in-law have so much silver? I estimated that most of my sister-in-law went to the money shop to borrow money to buy it. Li Sishu pretended to be worried and said, "Dad, hurry up and go into the house to see, our family's title deed is still there!" ”

"Are you done?"

Liu Dongmei put down her chopsticks and looked at Li Sishu with a smile.

Li Sishu glanced at her and didn't speak.

"Now that you're done, it's my turn. The ox cart and the rice, I bought them. Okawa wanted to stop me, but he didn't, and he wasn't to blame for that. As for the title deed, I didn't touch it, I spent the money I earned myself. ”

As she spoke, Liu Dongmei took out one or two pieces of silver from the cloth bag and put them on the wooden table in front of Wang Fugui.

"The pheasant was hunted by Dachuan on the mountain, and the market price is 500 yuan. The chicken on the table, and the one in the house, are all considered to have been bought. Li Sishu, can I eat quietly for a while now? ”

Li Sishu was choked by Liu Dongmei and couldn't speak.

She glanced at the silver in Liu Dongmei's hand, and her heart was even more jealous.

Although I couldn't see how much silver she had.

But she could take out a tael of silver casually, and she was willing to buy an ox cart, so she must have a lot of silver in her hand.

"Well, since you earned it yourself, I can't say anything."

"Dad, my sister-in-law and we are a family, and what she earns is also from our family."

Hearing Li Sishu's words, Wang Fugui frowned slightly.

"Second daughter-in-law, I didn't let you take out the money your father gave you before. Why did you have to ask her to take it out when you got to the eldest daughter-in-law? ”

"How can that be the same?"

"How is it different?" Wang Fugui disagreed: "The harvest at home can almost maintain our family's expenses." You have the ability to make money yourself, and what you earn is your own, and I will not ask you to turn it in. It's good that the eldest daughter-in-law can help the family buy rice. ”

"Thank you, Dad."

Wang Fugui's words surprised Liu Dongmei a little.

She always thought that Wang Fugui was a stubborn and rigid person, and her thoughts should be similar to Li Sishu.

But now it seems that she misunderstood.

Although Wang Fugui doesn't seem to have a good temper, he is a very principled person.

Last time, he didn't let Li Sishu take out the silver given by her father to save the emergency, and this time he also managed to balance the two bowls of water.

Liu Dongmei has changed a lot of views of Wang Fugui.

But Li Sishu frowned, obviously a little unhappy.

After the meal, Liu Dongmei took out the osmanthus cake and put it on the wooden table as a dessert after the meal.

Sister Wang was very greedy, and when she saw the osmanthus cake, her eyes lit up.

"Liu Dongmei, what is this?"

"This is the osmanthus cake I bought in town, try it!"

Liu Dongmei pushed the osmanthus cake to the center of the wooden table for everyone to taste.

Since she will choose to buy it back, she will not secretly hide and eat alone.

Seeing that Liu Dongmei was so generous, Wang Yumei was not polite, and took a big bite of it.

The aroma of osmanthus mixed with the sweetness of the pastry penetrated into the mouth, making Wang Qimei say "um" with satisfaction.

She had been to the town before, and knew that there was a shop in the town that sold osmanthus cakes, and the business was particularly good.

She has always wanted to try it, but unfortunately a box costs ten cents, and she has always been reluctant to buy it.

"Delicious!"

"Eat more, then!" Liu Dongmei picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Wang Fugui: "Dad, you can also taste it." ”

Wang Fugui nodded, took it and tasted it.

"It's delicious, but don't break the bank next time."

Although Wang Fugui knew that Liu Dongmei was using the money she earned to buy osmanthus cakes.

But when I think of this thing being so expensive, I still feel a little distressed.

Okawa and Dongmei have money, and he is happy for them.

They can eat and dress better, but they don't need to spend money on such gadgets.

"Dad, I know!"

Liu Dongmei answered, picked up two more pieces, and handed them to Wang Dachuan and Wang Xiaojiang respectively.

Li Sishu swallowed her saliva and was embarrassed to reach for it.

Waiting with a blank eye, Liu Dongmei handed her a piece.
