Chen Shouxing didn't stay in the room for long, said to his daughter-in-law after drinking water, and went out to peel corn with a basket.

Zhao Miaomiao looked up at the window and the sun was in the west, and the shadow of the house fell to the ground, shading it into a shade.

The Chen family, big and small, sat there in the shade, their hands busy peeling corn.

Only a few small ones were left playing.

Dog Egg and Jinbao were naked, and they rolled up their shirts and threw them up hard, catching them even if they threw them higher.

Rui Rui was playing with the bamboo dragonfly, and with his two little hands rubbing the bamboo pole, the leaves above flew up instantly.

Chubby sat in the middle in a daze, turning his little head for a while to look at this, and then at that.

Seeing this, Zhao Miaomiao picked up the needlework basket and stool and went out of the room.

In the yard,

Chen Shouhe just walked away with his front foot, and Chen Shoushan immediately picked up a few large handfuls of corn kernels from his basket into his own basket.

Chen Shouye silently dragged the basket a little farther away.

Wang Hongmei shouted, "Sister-in-law~"

Dong raised his head and looked away from the basket, and Li Fatya took the opportunity to quickly grab two large handfuls of corn from her basket.

Wang Hongmei exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, why are you so powerful, peeling so fast!" ”

The corners of Dong's mouth raised.

Li Fatya's little eyes glanced at it, didn't look at it, and grabbed it again, and continued to scratch and scratch......

Zhao Miaomiao: "......"

Mrs. Chen lifted the basket next to her openly, poured a basket into herself, moved it aside, took out an empty basket again, and continued to peel corn.

The corners of Chen Shouxing's mouth twitched, watching his mother's skillful operation, and silently mourned for his father in his heart.

Old man Chen came back from a small relief, stared at the basket for a long time, and said, "Who fell my corn again?" ”

Mrs. Chen glanced at it and said as if there was something serious, "Who poured your corn?" Can the old lady not see it? You've stripped this bit and slandered people! ”

Old man Chen gestured with his hand, "No, it's impossible!" Look, look at the old woman, I obviously peeled so much, why is it all gone all of a sudden? ”

Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and said, "Why not!" Old man, you are daydreaming, or you will ask them who poured your corn? ”

Everyone in the Chen family looked at each other and said no.

Zhao Miaomiao shook her head, who dares to say that her mother-in-law poured her father-in-law's corn!

Old man Chen wondered, what the hell, why is there less than half of the corn that has been peeled.

Mrs. Chen glared and said, "You all listen!" Adults have to peel a basket full, and children have a small basket, which is not enough to eat for dinner. ”

Old man Chen: "......"

The movements in the hands of the Chen family immediately accelerated.

At dinnertime, it was obvious that Old Man Chen did not peel a basket of corn, and was scolded by Mrs. Chen for picking her ears, but she did not let him eat.

Time was in a hurry, the corn in the yard was peeled and dried, and when it was time to pay the rent, the old man Chen and several people went back and forth to pick up corn and go to the landlord's house, and the food at home was instantly reduced by nearly half.

Immediately after picking cotton to harvest jute, cotton seeding jute peeling, pay autumn tax, grain field per mu three liters of three, cotton per mu four taels, jute per mu eight taels.

After working for more than half a month, everyone in the Chen family has lost weight.

Today, the town's cereal market is open, and every household in Chenjia Village is carrying a burden to exchange coarse grains for silver.

Zhao Miaomiao counted the silver, thinking about the money to buy food.

Chen Shouxing lowered his head and poured the wheat he bought the year before on the basket, "The past few years have been very good, let's save more grain just in case." ”

It is often said that there is a small disaster in three years and a major disaster in ten years, and there are no natural disasters in seven or eight years, so we have to be more careful.

Zhao Miaomiao nodded, and counted out five taels of silver for him, "Xianggong, buy six stones for corn, and how much wheat is left to buy, you look at it." ”

Chen Shouxing bowed.

Zhao Miaomiao looked at him and went out, lowered her head and continued to embroider handkerchiefs, and after a few stitches, she heard a fierce noise outside.

It's the voice of the Liu Su clan and the Liu widower!

As soon as she put down her needle and thread and left the door, she saw her mother-in-law and sister-in-law disappear from the courtyard door after a while.

Zhao Miaomiao looked down, and the two sons who were playing with their nephews in the yard said with a smile, "Jin Baotou, the little aunt wants to go outside, can you help me take a look at Rui Rui's little fat dun?" ”

Jinbao/Shi stopped the bamboo pole in his hand, nodded his head and said, "Okay, little aunt, you can go, we will take care of my brother." ”

At the door of Liu's house,

Liu Widower strode out, Liu Su chased after him, and her two sons hugged Liu Widower's thigh and dragged people deadly.

The widower scolded, "You two dead boys let go of Lao Tzu!" ”

Seeing that they did not let go, the widower was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the two children.

Liu Su rushed over with red eyes, pushed Liu Widower to the ground, and pulled his two sons behind him.

Liu Widower was angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat someone, but was pulled by the two eldest mothers, "Liu Widower, if you have something to say, what kind of hand does the family do, if you break the Su family, what should you two grandsons do?" ”

Liu Su's father-in-law was worried that his son was impulsive, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his daughter-in-law was disrespectful to her father-in-law!

Liu Su's face was white, wiped his eyes and cried, "I haven't sent it this day, my father-in-law wants to take all the money in the family to Widow Wu, and we will soon pay the tax, how can our mother and son live!" Uncle and aunt, let him beat him, kill my mother and son, or reunite with his father underground, and don't have to suffer here. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar and pointed fingers at the widower.

"What you did about the widower is too inhumane, you don't care about your daughter-in-law, but also look at your two grandsons!"

"Not really! The Liu family is just these two seedlings, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to explain to their ancestors underground! ”

The widower's face turned red with anger, and he glared and shouted, "Shut up! Damn, you can't take care of Lao Tzu's family affairs. ”

Seeing him like this, the lively villagers spoke even more.

"I'm really not a man, I don't even care about my grandson for an outsider!"

"What outsiders? If you want me to say that's the heart and liver of the widower! ”

"Widow Wu is also too good at seducting people, look at what the widower is bewitched into, Widow Gao always makes trouble for Widow Wu to kill her husband, maybe this thing is true!"

……

The widower yelled and shut up, but no one cared about him at all, and continued to talk to himself.

He clenched his fists and was about to beat the most outrageous lady, but he was kicked to the ground by the eldest lady's son and punched several times.

"Fuck, dare to beat my mother!"

The corners of Liu Su's mouth hooked slightly, and secretly scolded the dead old man for deserving to be beaten, thinking so in his heart, he cried on his face, "Don't fight, don't fight......"

Liu Widower was beaten by the eldest lady's son, listening to the fingering in his ear, he was very ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to do anything to the people watching the excitement, and when he heard Liu Su's voice, he suddenly found an outlet.

He walked over in three or two steps, grabbed Liu Su's hair, and scolded, "Su, you slut, Lao Tzu beat you to death!" ”

Wu Youjia rushed out of nowhere and slammed his fist into Liu Widower's face.

After it is put on the shelves, there will be two updates a day, I hope you will support it!
