After catching up with them, Qin Jinlian gave Pei Yang things like hares and fish croquettes, and then counted and complained to Shen Mingzhu.

“…… If you say you want to leave, it's rare to come back, and you won't stay for two more days. ”

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "I don't dare to stay longer, who knows what calculations are waiting for me in the future." ”

Qin Jinlian slapped her angrily, "What are you talking about, am I that bad?" ”

"Not a good guy anyway."

Qin Jinlian choked, glanced at her son-in-law on the side, and her face became a little uncomfortable, "Then what, you just left like this?" ”

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu had a cold face and did not react, Qin Jinlian reached out and made a movement to twist the money.

Pei Yang reacted, and immediately put down the things in his hand and took out the money, but was stunned by Shen Mingzhu's eyes.

Shen Mingzhu took out the prepared thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

Qin Jinlian glared at her, "That's it?" ”

"It's too little, you don't want it."

Qin Jinlian pursed the corners of her mouth and took the money.

Shen Mingzhu was not angry, "Mom, if you dare to use the money I gave to buy gold chains for other women, don't even think about asking me for a dime in the future." ”

Qin Jinlian was also not angry, "What other woman, she is your second sister-in-law!" ”

"I don't care who she is, I put the words here, don't think I'm joking with you, I give you money to honor you and your father, to let you improve your life and buy food and clothing, not to buy jewelry for people to wear!"

Qin Jinlian waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, I know, Pei Yang, you guys slow down on the road." ”

Pei Yang nodded in response.

——

Seeing Qin Jinlian enter the door, Yang Xuezhen from the West House hurriedly kicked Shen Xiangnan.

"Go and ask how much money your sister got back this time."

Shen Xiangnan was not happy to go, for his business, he made his little sister and brother-in-law angry and left, and he was very upset.

"Are you going?!"

It wasn't until he was kicked by Yang Xuezhen several times that Shen Xiangnan reluctantly got up and got off the kang.

Soon, Shen Xiangnan returned to the house.

"How much?"

"Thirty."

Yang Xuezhen was greatly disappointed, this money, let alone buying a gold necklace, can't even buy a pair of earrings!

Shen Xiangnan knew what she was thinking, and persuaded: "Xuezhen, don't embarrass your mother, this time for your brother's sake, you will make my sister angry and leave." ”

Yang Xuezhen started a fire when she heard this, "Shen Xiangnan, you made it clear, my brother's work, if it wasn't for your family's commitment, do you think you can marry me with that little bride price?" You dream big!

The matter of the gold necklace is also what your mother herself said, as long as I can give birth to a big fat boy, buy me a gold necklace! Co-authorship is mine now, isn't it? Let me tell you Shen Xiangnan, don't think that if I get married, I can let your Shen family bully.

And your little sister, what kind of thing is she, why does she point fingers at her mother's family affairs, how capable she really is, isn't she lucky to marry a city man, or to be a stepmother, what does she have to worry about?

Shen Xiangnan, I just fell in love with you blindly, otherwise with my conditions, I may not be as good as your little sister! ”

"Yes, yes, Xuezhen, you ...... quietly"

Shen Xiangnan begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother for a long time before he finally stopped coaxing Yang Xuezhen.

Man has stopped, but the mind has not.

"It's okay to divide the family, the house belongs to us, and half of the family's savings and grain are also to be given to us......"

Shen Xiangnan's head was big when he heard this, "How can this work?" The eldest brother is the eldest and I am the second, so if we want to divide the family, we will divide it. ”

"I don't care! Shen Xiangnan, if my parents want to separate us, then I will go back to my parents' house, and you can live by yourself! ”

East House.

Although the door of the West House was closed, the two rooms were close to each other, and Qin Jinlian and Shen Jianguo heard the words of the second and second daughter-in-law clearly.

Shen Jianguo's brows were knotted with sorrow.

Qin Jinlian counted the money in her hand while complaining to Shen Mingzhu.

"It's all to blame for this dead girl, I have to break up the family, a good family has been tossed and scattered by her, what did I do in my last life, I gave birth to such a debt collector in this life, I married for so long, and I took a total of sixty yuan back to the family, what is this money enough for......"

Shen Jianguo listened impatiently, and scolded in a low voice, "You can't rest?" Everyone is gone, what's the use of saying this? ”

In the kitchen to the north, Du Juan was busy with the family's lunch in front of the stove with her apron on, and Shen Chaobei helped light the fire.

The eldest girl sat on the pony and diligently handed the bean stalks and branches to Shen Chaobei, so that he could put them in the stove and burn them.

Westinghouse's movements, although the two of them couldn't hear clearly, they could guess that it must be related to the separation.

Du Juan glanced at her husband, "Facing north, what do you think about the separation of the family?" ”

Shen Chaobei didn't raise his head, "I didn't think about it." ”

Du Juan was silent for two seconds and said, "It's okay to divide it." ”

Shen Chaobei raised his head, "Her mother, do you want to split up?" ”

"Well, I think. After separating the family, we will live our lives behind closed doors in the future, even if we are bitter and poor, I am happy. ”

Although Shen Chaobei is honest and not good at expressing himself, he is not hard-hearted, even Shen Mingzhu's sister feels sorry for him and his daughter-in-law, and calls the shots for them, if he doesn't seize the opportunity and let his daughter-in-law suffer in this family, then he is too not a man.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to my parents after dinner."

Du Juan finally had a smile on her face, and looked at her daughter playing by the stove, with regret on her face.

"If only our eldest girl were a boy."

The eldest girl raised her little head in confusion, as if she didn't understand what her parents were saying.

Shen Chaobei carried her over, his rough big palm caressed the top of her soft hair lovingly, and his simple face was full of smiles.

"The girl is also very good, she will definitely be as beautiful as the little sister when she grows up in the future, and we will also let her study, and she will go to the city to do a big career in the future."

Du Juan smiled bitterly.

It's not that she doesn't like her daughter, it's just that the world is so harsh on women, female babies are looked down upon, and daughters-in-law who have not given birth to sons are even more despised.

Just like her.

Now that family planning has been implemented, each family can only have one, she failed to give birth to a son, and there is no successor to the Shen family's incense, so her mother-in-law Qin Jinlian will pin all her hopes on Yang Xuezhen's stomach and ignore her.

——

When Shen Mingzhu returned home, it was almost dark.

There was no car from Shenjiagou back to Fengcheng today, the family of three went to the countryside first, had a brief lunch, Pei Yang called Pei Wenping, and Chen Yi found someone to borrow a car to take them back to the city.

After tossing for a day, Shen Mingzhu was so tired that he didn't want to cook dinner, so Pei Yang used the croquettes given by Qin Jinlian to cook a pot of meatball noodle soup, and the three of them dealt with it simply.

The next day, Shen Mingzhu made a roasted whole rabbit from the hare given by Qin Jinlian.

After baking, half of them were kept for themselves to eat, and half were ready to be sent to Pei Wenping to thank Chen Yi for driving them back yesterday.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the "stealing" incident, Shen Mingzhu personally sent it to Pei Wenping this time.

When she returned home after sending the roast rabbit, she suddenly remembered that the self-examination results came out today, so she simply changed to the self-examination center.

Today is the eighth day of the new year, and the first working day after the new year, there are quite a few candidates who go to the self-examination center to check their results.

When Shen Mingzhu arrived, there was a long queue outside the office of the inquiry office.

To pass the time, the candidates in line chatted with each other, talking about their jobs, education, backgrounds, and so on.

Shen Mingzhu had no intention of accosting anyone, but the young woman in front of her took the initiative to turn her head and ask, "Classmate, what kind of education do you have?" You look young, you should have just graduated from high school, right? ”

"No, I haven't studied since I graduated from junior high school."

When the words fell, the surrounding candidates suddenly fell silent.
