Chapter 55: It's so hard to lie
"No need mother, I live over there, it's troublesome to move around, my mother took me to see my father." The rich sister-in-law refused.
"Sister, you have to spend silver to build a house, so do you still have silver for me, I need silver." The eldest brother was anxious and interjected.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Chen glared at her eldest son viciously.
"Mother, you know that your grandson is going to marry a daughter-in-law and is short of silver, and your sister has silver, why not help your mother's family." The eldest brother is even more anxious.
"Bah, didn't your sister's original bride price be taken away from you, where is the dowry I prepared for my daughter, and it wasn't taken back to her parents' house by your daughter-in-law.
And what does your son's marriage have to do with your sister, you said that the water spilled by the married girl, why are you embarrassed to ask for silver from the spilled water. ”
The eldest son of the Chen family's face turned red, and he went back to the house in annoyance, saying his darkest side in front of the rich and noble, and let him be a man in the future.
Seeing that she had scolded her eldest son, Mrs. Chen looked at Fugui with some embarrassment and said: "Fugui, your house has collapsed, but I don't have a copper plate for you, and I can't even get the five taels of silver back, I ......."
"Mother, the five taels of silver that Fugui gave you are the silver that my father-in-law asked him to buy grain and cotton clothes for the winter, and he took it out when he saw that you were about to run out of food." The rich sister-in-law looked at the eldest brother's house and said.
"What......"
The old lady of the Chen family is even more anxious, if this is the case, the silver must be returned, otherwise the daughter will have to suffer in her mother-in-law's house, who is willing to ask for a daughter-in-law who is willing to supplement her mother's family.
"Fugui, if you don't forgive a few days, I'll go...... I sold myself and gave you back the money. ”
Mrs. Chen wanted to say that she would take the silver back, but thinking about how it was possible to take out the five taels of silver in the boss's pocket, she said fiercely.
"Mother, my father-in-law didn't embarrass me much for the sake of my hard work, but from now on, Fugui has no more money, so I can't help my eldest brother." Sister-in-law Fugui said directly.
"That's good, that's good, what to help, what's so good to help with lazy cheap bones."
Mrs. Chen put her heart at ease, glanced at her eldest son who was hiding behind the door, and was angry, she was really a loving mother who was too defeated, and raised her eldest son to be lazy.
Fugui took his daughter-in-law and children into Daddy Chen's house, took out the rice noodles and rapeseed oil in the small back basket, handed them to his mother-in-law and whispered: "Mother, hide it well and make up for it." ”
"Hey, thank you Fugui, but unfortunately I can't hide it." Chen Lao Niang shook her head and said.
"Mother, where is the second brother and the third brother? How do they treat you? Sister-in-law asked.
"I took my daughter-in-law to my mother's house, they were kind to me, but unfortunately the money was held in the hands of the eldest daughter-in-law, and your second and third sisters-in-law are also honest." Chen Lao Niang sighed.
"Dad, mother, if you break up with the eldest brother one day, I will support you." The rich sister-in-law said close to her father's ear.
You must know that she now has forty-five taels of silver in her pocket, and she will give her father and mother two taels of silver a year, and the old couple will grow some vegetables, plant one acre of land, and raise them for twenty years.
Daddy Chen's eyes had tears in his eyes, and he gave birth to three daughters and three sons, except for the youngest daughter, the other children would never say such things.
"Dad, give you a silver ticket of ten taels of silver, you hide it, ask a doctor to treat you, and only when you are in good health can you be the master of the house." Fugui glanced at his daughter-in-law, and also said in Daddy Chen's ear.
The rich sister-in-law couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart, marrying such a good man and giving birth to such a good child, she must have cultivated great virtue in her last life.
took out a silver ticket of ten taels from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into his father's hand, the action was so vague that even the old lady Chen next to him didn't notice it, let alone the eldest brother and sister-in-law who were hiding outside and eavesdropping.
Fugui's sister-in-law handed Fubao to Fugui, she was going to the kitchen to cook, Chen Lao Niang hurriedly followed, she still had a lot to say to her daughter.
"You girl is really good-looking, we didn't give gifts when you added a girl, it's really ......" Chen Lao Niang said helplessly.
"It's okay, mother, the child is still young, we don't have a banquet, and we don't have any extra money to do." Fugui's sister-in-law thought that for the sake of Fubao's double full moon, she and her mother took Fubao and went to the mountains to find wild eggs.
Speaking of silver, there is no sound in the kitchen, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, this taste is too uncomfortable, Chen Lao Niang wiped her eyes with her hand, and prayed in her heart that her man's body would get better soon.
Fortunately, lunch was made quickly, and today because it was a married girl who came to the door, I made some white buns, cooked a big pot of sticky polenta, and the vegetables were only pickled radish and cabbage.
The rich sister-in-law first avoided people and fed Fubao milk, and then fed her a few mouthfuls of corn porridge, gave her half a white bun to grind her teeth, and gave other girls greedy, looking at Fubao's eyes with unkindness.
Fu Bao pouted like a rich sister-in-law, she couldn't look at these things, what was there to be gluttony, but why didn't there be steamed egg custard today, did Fei Niang forget.
"Cool, big." Fu Bao whispered.
"Shhhhh......h
"Hey, what's wrong with this girl." Mrs. Chen came out after delivering food to Father Chen, and she just heard Fubao speak, but the milk voice was too heavy for her to hear clearly.
"It's okay, mother, the little girl wants to sleep." Sister-in-law said calmly.
He never thought that it would be so difficult to lie, but he knew that his daughter-in-law was doing the right thing, and it was really the eldest brother who was too greedy and lazy.
When Mrs. Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks, Fugui stood up to say goodbye, and Mrs. Chen didn't stay much, she knew that the house needed silver, and Fugui must be in a hurry to go back to find the silver.
"Fugui, you really can't get back the five taels of silver you gave my family, otherwise I will definitely return it to you." Chen Lao Niang wiped her eyes again and said to Fugui.
Fugui shook his head again and again, but he had a grudge against his eldest brother in his heart, if you are as filial as Wang Ji, the younger brother of your sister-in-law's family, even if you give you fifty taels of silver, you are willing.
And he knew in his heart that not to mention silver at home, even gold is there, and in the case of insufficient strength, there is no way to take it out, and once it is taken out, it may be a disaster for them to wait for them.
The two left Chenjia Village with their children and walked to Wangjia Village, there was no way, the ox cart was taken away safely, and it would be troublesome if they went to Chenjia Village to pick them up safely.
"Hey, brother and sister, why are you here?"
They went just right, and the child was about to go back, and the sister-in-law saw Fugui and asked strangely, but they said okay, Fugui was waiting in Chenjia Village, waiting for them to pick up.
