Outside the house, Aunt Tian and others are envious, it is not easy for the Zhuang family to make some money, the Zhou family is lucky, marry into the Song family, you don't have to do anything, there were men to raise you before, and when a man dies, there is a brother-in-law to raise, a proper winner in life!

can also understand why her mother's family came to persuade her not to remarry.

What else to change!

It's not like she doesn't have a son.

'A daughter-in-law who has been a wife for many years' and 'an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother', fools know which one is more relaxed, more wishful and more comfortable.

"The world is sober!"

Someone lamented.

Second Aunt Tian glanced at the East Chamber, pouting, "If I were her, I would be sober." ”

The man laughed and said, "You can't be heard by your man, otherwise he will think that you are cursing him." ”

"Who cursed him, the key, the key is not him, the key is the lack of a reader who can read!" Aunt Tian rolled her eyes.

If the old man dared to scold her, she asked him in the original words, and he couldn't tell him if he had the ability.

Who would think that there is a lot of silver.

Others couldn't be happier.

In their opinion, it is already a lot to get one or two hundred copper plates a month, and it is more than one or two taels a year.

But they didn't know that in the past, Zhou got more.

The scum is really talented in reading.

The handwriting is also good.

He not only copied books for the library, but also painted, and from time to time wrote a drama of a talented and beautiful woman.

There is a deposit in hand.

Since the eldest brother Song Yuan went to the border, he was only fourteen years old and took up the burden of the family, and he had to give the Zhou family living expenses every month when he came back.

At the beginning, he earned little, he was young, and he was afraid that his sister-in-law would run away, so he gave it all.

Later, when I got older, I needed more communication.

Or the same amount as before.

Otherwise, I would not have been able to save the five taels of silver.

It's just that he came back to give it by himself before, and outsiders never knew how much, after all, Song Yuan didn't send back the moon silver in a few months, even if the second child of the Song family copied books, he didn't copy books for a living, and he could copy a few dollars.

This time, Song Shi asked someone to send silver, and also made a special trip to explain to the person that he must make it clear to Zhou, saying that due to his heavy studies, Mr. asked him to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and he had less time to copy books, and he didn't get back so much silver as before, so he only got more than 100 copper plates, and asked his sister-in-law to forgive me.

So the man asked all the way, and he didn't deliberately hide it.

Even, the people in the village knew it before the Zhou family.

Suddenly it was sour.

More than a hundred copper plates are still less? How much did you have to get back before?

The Zhou family really fell into the nest.

Zhou thinks so, too.

Except for Da Lang being arrested and taken to the border, her life after getting married is really smooth.

Although the uncle has changed a little since Dabao's illness, and has a lot of complaints about her, but there is one, as long as she is in this family for a day, the uncle must respect her.

Less copper is less.

She's not without money.

Survive these few months, and when the uncle is admitted to the lifter, some of them will be collected with silver.

At that time, even the landlords in the town and the rich merchants in the county will rush to flatter!

"Ahem, mother, I'm thirsty"

Zhou Shi hurriedly came back to his senses, "Bao'er hurry up and cover it, and my mother will go and pour water for you." ”

After giving her son water, she went to boil the medicine again.

I don't know if it's true that the medicine in the village is not good, and Dabao's illness is not always better.

It's been a month, and I can't get out of bed, but I can't walk a few steps.

He coughed badly.

There is no flesh at all on the little face, and the face is sallow and sallow and thin.

I was sick when I saw it.

Alas.

After this winter, it would be nice if the weather was warmer.

Children, wake up, are awake, but weaker, what can be the problem.

It's good to raise it.

Isn't it better to take more good than to take medicine?

It just so happened that the uncle came back with the money, and after a while, he went to the village to buy a chicken to stew.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly added a few wooden sticks to the stove, and when the medicine was ready, she gave it to the child.

"You lie down, don't get up, cover it tightly, my mother will go to the village, let's stew chicken soup and drink it at night."

Song Dabao's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mother, I'm obedient, drink chicken soup!" ”

"Well, my Bao'er is good, my mother will be back in a while."

Tucked the quilt for Dabao, and she took the money and went out.

Most of the villages have chickens.

Except for her home.

There's no way, there are people who are reading, so you have to worry about it.

She went to a family in the village surnamed Wang.

"Aunt Wang!"

"Huh!"

Out of the room came a woman in a coarse cotton cloth patch, she had two frostbite on her cheeks, and when she saw Zhou, her chubby face was full of smiles.

"The lady of the Song family is here, are you here to buy chicken?"

Old customers, no need to be so polite.

Zhou smiled reservedly, "My Dabao has been sick for a long time, and the doctor said that he had to give him something good to eat. ”

Aunt Wang smiled very heartily, "Sure enough, it is Song Xiucai's sister-in-law, who speaks with good manners, and the lady of the Song family can rest assured, I promise to catch a smart and lively big for you." ”

Hens are impossible!

Never!

Then you have to keep the eggs and sell them.

Zhou nodded.

followed Aunt Wang to the backyard.

Seeing that the other party picked a rooster with a big and red crown, he nodded with satisfaction.

Aunt Wang weighed the pounds on the scales, calculated the accounts, and said, "Or are you cleaning up like before?" ”

Zhou: "Hmm. ”

Aunt Wang shouted to her eldest daughter-in-law to boil water.

Then he asked his granddaughter to take the knife and the big bowl out, walked to the root of the wall, and went down directly with a knife, the action was clean and neat, and she shook the neck of the chicken, and dripped the last drop of blood into the bowl.

That's a bowl of the sea.

Such a big bowl of chicken blood is its own again.

Zhou's self-proclaimed scholar is the most disdainful of these pickled things.

Aunt Wang was overjoyed.

plucked the chickens, cleaned the contents of the belly, slaughtered the chickens into small pieces, and put them in the basket brought by Zhou.

Zhou counted the copper plates and handed them to her.

Picking up the bowl of red, which was already a little solidified, he said, "I'll return the bowl to my aunt in a while." ”

Aunt Wang: "."

Eh, the lady of the Song family, what do you mean, why are you still coming out one by one.

Laughed dryly, "This chicken blood is good."

"yes." Zhou smiled embarrassedly, "The doctor said that chicken blood is nutritious, and it is fried with blood skin vegetables, which is good for Dabao's health." ”

"Oh, oh, that's good, then you can go back and do it."

"Then I'll go first, and I'll talk to my aunt's house next time."

"Slow down."

Aunt Wang sent Zhou out the door.

When he turned around, his face fell.

The little daughter-in-law came in from outside, excited, and lowered her voice, "Mother, what are you eating today?" ”

She saw that Zhou had come to the house.

Aunt Wang glared at her, "Eat, eat, eat!" I want to eat it all day! Why don't you eat to death! ”

After saying that, he went back to the house in a huff.

The little daughter-in-law was scolded for no reason, and she was so aggrieved.

"I—Did I say it wrong? You can't sprinkle it if you're angry! Whoever gets angry will go to whom! "What does it have to do with me!

As a punching bag, the little daughter-in-law was very unhappy, grabbed the eldest girl and asked.

The eldest girl looked at the pile of chicken feathers, "Song Xiucai's sister-in-law came to catch chickens, and this time she took away the chicken blood, and her milk was angry." ”

Little daughter-in-law: "."

That's really her bad luck.

"No, she, didn't she want it before? How did you take it this time? ”

The big girl shook her head.

The little daughter-in-law couldn't be angry.

Take it, then what will her family eat at noon today!

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! ”

Quickly ran to the kitchen.
