Shen Su'e heard the commotion outside, for fear that they would make Lingbao rest, so she carefully pushed open the door, and then closed the door in a low voice.

"What's going on?" Seeing a bunch of people crowded into his house, he asked Dadongzi, "What are these people doing at our house?" ”

"I said that I was going to give a gift to Lingbao, I was also dumbfounded, I didn't expect so many people to come, I just opened the door, and I was almost pushed to the ground by them."

When everyone saw Shen Su'e, they hurriedly stepped forward, "Lingbao Niang, will you let us meet Lingbao?" This is half a catty of peanuts for my Lingbao......"

"Tsk, it's only half a catty of peanuts and you're embarrassed to come to give a gift? Are people lucky stars rare to have your peanuts? What I brought was different, it was a brown sugar tael. ”

"That's right, if you want to give a gift, be sincere, this half catty of peanuts is too cold." Everyone chattered.

The woman who delivered the peanuts blushed, "I really don't have anything to do with my family, and I also want to send candy to Lingbao, isn't it?" ”

Hearing that they were going to say more, Shen Su'e interrupted: "What kind of gift did you come to give Lingbao in a good manner?" Lingbao is sleeping, don't disturb her, hurry up and get out, Lingbao doesn't need these things. ”

"No, Aunt Shen, you just let us meet Lingbao, right?"

"Yes, yes, let's meet Lingbao, shall we? We just want to get a little bit of good luck with Lingbao, so that we can conceive a son, I have given birth to three daughters in a row, if I have another daughter, I will be scolded to death by my mother-in-law......"

Shen Su'e was inexplicable when she heard it, "What's the matter with you giving birth to a girl or a son Guan Lingbao?" ”

"We've all heard that your second daughter-in-law originally gave birth to a daughter, because Lingbao went to the delivery room, and the girl became a son!" The women were babbling about the rumors they had heard.

Jiang Qingshan came out at this time and said, "It's just!" Nothing at all! Erhuazi, his daughter-in-law, originally gave birth to a son. ”

Everyone was stunned, "But, but we heard about ......"

"You don't have to think about it, our Jiang family has never had a daughter for several generations, you see my eldest brother and second brother's family, which family can give birth to a daughter?"

"Seems to be the same." Everyone gradually calmed down.

They looked at each other, "Are those rumors really false?" ”

"Eighty percent yes, oops, I almost forgot, this Jiang family gave birth to a bunch of sons before picking up the Lingbao, not only Uncle Jiang's family, but also his elder brothers' family, didn't the people in the village still say that the Jiang family was a monk temple and gave birth to a male baby?"

"Okay, let's go quickly, don't make noise at my house, I want to give birth to a son and go to the Guanyin Temple to say goodbye." Shen Su'e said.

"Where else is there a Guanyin Temple? It's all demolished! ”

"That's right, if you want to ask for a son, there is no place to burn incense."

Hearing that they started to make noise again, Shen Su'e pushed them out, "If you have anything to say, don't crowd in my house and say it, my Lingbao still needs to rest." ”

The women who were huddled into a pile shouted "ouch", "Okay, okay, Aunt Shen, don't push us, we'll go by ourselves." ”

When they were all gone, Shen Su'e closed the door in a hurry and said angrily: "What's the mess?" True, I don't know who spread it! ”

"Those women in the village all want to have sons, and it is estimated that whoever jokes and says nonsense, and the others spread it one by one, and it spreads at once."

"I've convinced these people!" Shen Su'e said, "Whether it's a son or a daughter, aren't they all their own babies?" It's just a matter of giving birth and raising well, why do you always want to have a son? Maybe I haven't had a daughter filial piety yet......"

Da Dongzi felt that his mother was scolding himself for this, and said guiltily: "Mother, I was wrong before, and I will definitely be filial to you in the future." ”

His mother was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at him, "Why did you say this suddenly?" ”

"I just feel sorry for you and my father for the separation of the family, but I'm still so unproductive, I split up and divorced my daughter-in-law, and now I have to move back with Tugen to live, I'm really sorry for you......"

"Okay, it's useless to say this!" Shen Su'e said, "Since you have decided to bring Tugen back to live with us, then we are now a family, your father is in charge of the money, and the money you earn in the future will also be in charge of your father, no opinion, right?" ”

Da Dongzi hurriedly said: "Of course there is no opinion!" After two days, I shared the money and things with Shugen Niang, and I handed over all the money to my father. ”

Jiang Qingshan had a headache, "Why don't you give the money to Dadongzi?" I'm illiterate, and I have to draw pictures to keep an account, so it's a bit difficult to manage money. ”

"Dad, what are you talking about? How can I take care of the money? ”

"Wasn't it you and my second child who were in charge of money when I was lying in bed for a few years?"

After listening to his father, Da Dongzi felt even more guilty, "Actually, I didn't take care of the accounts, my daughter-in-law and second brother and sister were in charge."

In addition to buying some salt and kerosene, matches and other things, most of the money is used to buy fabrics and shoes for the baby, Dad, you and your mother haven't worn a new dress for many years, I know it, but I turn a blind eye ......"

At this point, he scolded himself, "I'm not a thing!" ”

Jiang Qingshan patted him on the back, "Hey! It's not easy to raise such a big family, when I was lying in bed, how old were Sihaizi and Wuchaozi? You were in your early twenties, and you didn't even have a daughter-in-law.

Our family is poor, and we don't have a few dollars saved at all, in addition to earning work, you also think of ways to sell things in the market, so it's good that you don't let me and your mother starve to death.

Not only did you not starve us to death, but you put medicine on my back every few days, and those disinfectants, bedsore ointment, etc., all these years your father and I are the most useless, we will waste money, and we can't do anything. ”

"Dad, don't say that, you can't help it......"

Jiang Qingshan sighed: "You can't help it, marry your daughter-in-law into such a poor family, ask her to do so much work, and take care of a paralyzed father-in-law like me, if things about money don't follow her anymore, she won't run away?" ”

Speaking of this, he patted his eldest son on the back again, "Dongzi, you didn't feel sorry for me, your mother actually didn't blame you, now that you are back to live, don't think about it anymore, I will take care of this money for you, and I can rest assured of you." ”

"Daddy......" Da Dongzi was moved, and promised, "I will definitely take care of your accounts and remember them clearly!" As for how to use the money, it is up to you and your mother to decide, and I will be responsible for keeping the accounts. ”

"Okay, then you come in with me, I'll give you the account book," Jiang Qingshan pulled his eldest son into his room, "I received a bunch of red envelopes yesterday, and my head is big, and I haven't figured out how much money I received yet." ”

When they were settling accounts, outside the house, Shen Su'e asked her other sons, "Your father let your eldest brother take care of the money, do you have any opinions?" ”

Wu Chaozi smiled: "What opinion can I have?" You can't let me take care of it, can you? I have a headache when I see those numbers. ”

His third and fourth brothers said, "I can't control it either." ”

"It's really useless, how many years have I been in elementary school, and the books are in vain!"

After scolding her sons, Shen Su'e said: "Hurry up and go to work, according to what your second brother said yesterday, wash those intestines and internal organs with salt water a few times, wash them and stew them in the pot!" I'm going to guard the Lingbao. ”
