Closing the courtyard door, more than a dozen people from the Song family smirked at a pile of meat. Boss Song looked at the backbone of the family, Mrs. Wu, and asked, "Mother, what to do with this meat?" Are they all sold? ”

In the past, the family had a hard time, and the Song family was reluctant to eat the meat they received, so they took it to the town and sold it for food. Meat is good, but life is more important! Food is the lifeblood of the farmer's family!

Mrs. Wu sat down on a stool with her granddaughter in her arms, and her children and grandchildren gathered around her to wait for instructions.

"The Jiang family has helped us a lot in the past six months, this venison is the most nourishing, cut half of it and send it to the Jiang family, and we will keep the rest for ourselves!" The ninety taels of silver tickets in her waist bag gave Mrs. Wu enough confidence. She could have sold the venison she had been given for money, but no matter how good the silver was, it couldn't compare to having a good body.

She often listened to Jiang's talk about ingredients and medicinal properties, and knew that venison was very good for people who were weak and lacking in qi and blood. The women and children in the family have lacked food and drink in recent years, and their health is not very good. Now that there are such conditions, of course we have to make up for it!

"As for pheasants and wild boar...... Let's keep the pheasant stew soup to drink, and the wild boar meat picks some fat and picks it to dry, and keeps it for the New Year. The rest ......"

When Mrs. Wu saw her four daughters-in-law, she looked at herself expectantly, sighed in her heart, and said, "For the rest, one of you will cut ten catties and send it to your mother's house, so you should give a New Year's gift in advance!" The rest will be sold, and they will come back in exchange for some rice! ”

"Mother, don't we have a lot of food in our cellar? Why do you still buy food and come back? Zhang Chunmei asked puzzled.

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said, "You just see a lot of food, but you also have a large number of people at home. If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, according to our current two meals a day, most of each meal is half full, and we will have ten catties of food at the end of the day. 300 pounds a month! The grain in our tun is not enough for even half a year! ”

She took a sip of water and continued: "Besides, I don't know what the year will be next year, in case there is no harvest like last year, let's not save more food, and the family will drink the northwest wind?" To live a life, you have to take one step and see ten steps! ”

"Go back to your mother's house, don't say more! If anyone tells us about the grain in our house, don't come back! Since you think your mother's family is more important than our family, why do you come back? Not to mention borrowing food! You are the daughter-in-law of the old Song family, and our family should raise you. Your mother's family is not surnamed Song, and our family has no obligation or ability to support your mother's family! Mrs. Wu said, and took a deep look at the third daughter-in-law, with a warning in her eyes.

Although Zhang Chunmei is greedy and lazy, she is timid, so she naturally does not dare to challenge the authority of Wu Pozi. Zhang Chunmei knew that the men in the family listened to her mother-in-law, and if she said that she would drive herself back to her parents' house, her man would definitely pack her up and send her away.

Although the Song family is poor, the family is harmonious, and although the mother-in-law is powerful, she never trivializes her daughter-in-law. The family is in one place, and there are not so many bad things. Although Zhang Chunmei is stupid, she is not as stupid as a few younger sisters.

She also wants to subsidize her mother's family, but the premise is that it can't affect her life in the Song family. Now that the Song family's life is getting better day by day, she doesn't want to be driven back, she wants to stay and live a good life!

"Mother, don't worry! I'm sure not to talk nonsense! If I talk nonsense, my tongue will rot and I won't be able to eat meat! After Zhang Chunmei swore an oath, she said weakly, "Mother, can I take some potatoes back to my parents' house?" I can't open the pot at home......"

"With the help of your sisters, will you not be able to open the pot?" Mrs. Wu pouted, she looked down on the daughters of the Zhang family the most, her children were starving to death, and she went to subsidize her mother's family. I really don't know how my brain grows!

She looked at the third daughter-in-law speechlessly, this is also unclear, if she didn't have her own town, she could be fooled by her mother's family and empty her family!

Since it is a New Year's gift, it is indeed a little unsightly to give meat. The output of potatoes at home is sixty or seventy catties higher than that of other people's families, so Mrs. Wu packed ten catties from each family and brought them back.

The other three families were all accompanied by men to their parents' homes, but Zhang Chunmei refused to be accompanied by men, and returned to her parents' house without any children.

After returning to her parents' house, she learned that her fourth sister, who starved to death to subsidize her mother's family, was taken back. The family found another widower, and he married him in two days. The widower was old and ugly, and it was said that he liked to beat his daughter-in-law. The last daughter-in-law was that he hit too hard, and no one was gone after lying in bed for a few days.

Zhang Chunmei sympathized with the fourth sister, but completely saw the ruthlessness of her mother's family in her heart, and secretly reminded herself that she must not end up like the fourth sister.

Zhang Chunmei Niang saw the meat and potatoes she was carrying in her hands, smiled, stretched out her hand and snatched it, and said disgustedly: "Why is it like this?" I've heard that your old Song family has a lot of meat! ”

"No matter how much you share, it has to fall into my hands? I brought these things back behind my mother-in-law's back! When I go back, I can't run away after a beating! Zhang Chunmei made a sad expression.

Chun Mei Niang snorted and said, "Your mother-in-law, forget it!" Everything is in your own hands, what? I want to bring it into the coffin! And you, I don't know how to take more! ”

"Take more? Do you want me to be driven back by my in-laws like my fourth sister? Zhang Chunmei couldn't help but raise her voice. In the firewood room, suppressed cries were heard.

Chun Mei Niang slapped her a few times and said, "What can I do if I send it back?" Mother find you a better one! ”

"Come on! I'm fine right now! Mother, do you know what 'fine water flows'? You can only get things out of my hands until I'm well. Don't do anything like 'kill chickens and eggs'! Otherwise, nothing will end up in the end! Zhang Chunmei felt as if she was talking a little too much, so she didn't stay to eat, took the empty basket, and ran away from her mother's house as if she were running away!

The neighbors couldn't help but pay attention to Chunmei Niang behind their backs: "When the girl goes back to her parents' house, she doesn't leave a meal!" This Zhang family is lying on her daughter's body to suck blood! The blood was drained and sold to the old widower. It's really not human! ”

The weather has turned cold and windy these days. This trip back to her parents' house, Su Yun didn't bring Fuya with her.

Song Ziran was lying on the kang bored, and her godmother Jiang Zhixue led the two twin sons in. She also brought several medicinal herbs with her to teach the brothers to identify them.

Most of her grandson's padded jackets last year were short, and Mrs. Wu took a needle and thread to connect the sleeves of the padded jacket. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Such a young child began to recognize medicinal materials?" ”

Jiang Zhixue smiled and said, "Aren't you idle, you are going to send them to study in the town in the spring, and these two leather boys should also be restrained." ”

Song Ziran smelled the long-lost medicinal fragrance, turned over, climbed over, looked at the two little beans with great interest, and frowned sadly at the medicinal materials that looked similar.
