"I am already optimistic about the day of opening the ancestral hall, and it will be the day after tomorrow." The old patriarch said softly.

Lu Zhengyi was overjoyed, "Okay, Uncle Patriarch, thank you for your hard work." ”

The old patriarch waved his hand and comforted the three of them, "Don't take the words of those ignorant women to heart, everyone else in the village believes Mianniang." What you have to do now is to have a good birth and raise your children. Since I raised him and entered the genealogy of my Lu family, I must treat him as my own child and teach him well. ”

Lu Zheng assured with a serious expression, "Uncle Patriarch, don't worry, we understand." ”

"Hmm. Hurry home! The old patriarch nodded and said.

Lu Zheng and the three of them said hello, and walked in the direction of home with a relaxed heart.

They were relieved in their hearts, and a group of people who lost money came together in anger.

"In the past, there have been cases where I said a few words casually, and I haven't seen anyone care so much. It's Tang Mian's woman who still wants to send us to the yamen. Phew! ”

"That is, she won't lose a piece of meat in two sentences, and what she does is so serious."

"In the final analysis, Tang Mian is still careful, and so is the aunt, so he has to drag us to the patriarch, and we will lose fifty wen in vain."

"You are fifty wen, and I am three hundred." Zhang Lanhua said viciously.

I'm mad at her!

The rest of the people all turned to Zhang Lanhua, angry in their hearts, "Auntie, you said that Tang Mian has a good relationship outside, and three hundred Wen is not wronged." If we just answer two sentences casually, we will pay 50 yuan, and that is really wronged. ”

Zhang Lanhua snorted coldly, "Don't you think so in your hearts, otherwise how could you respond to my words." Moreover, what I said was that Tang Mian was probably good outside, but I didn't say that there must be a good relationship. ”

"That's what you started with." A young woman snapped.

Zhang Lanhua glared at her fiercely, "Then you also answered without thinking about it, and you received the most." ”

There are also people who are really guilty and grateful, "We really shouldn't say that about Tang Mian, fortunately, she didn't pursue it, but only lost fifty yuan, if she goes to the yamen, she will have to eat a board." ”

It is certainly impossible to ask the family to take a tael of silver out and exempt from a meal.

"Now, Tang Mian's family has made a fortune." Someone lamented.

Aunt Zhang paid 300 yuan, the nine of them paid 450 yuan, and Tang Mian received a total of 750 yuan.

"Rich? I'll give them the money to buy medicine. Zhang Lanhua said viciously.

"Don't forget, Lu Zheng's hand is injured, and I heard that he can't be a mason. The breadwinner of the family can't earn money, so what can the remaining two women and one child do? Speaking of this, Zhang Lanhua's heart was a little smoother.

"The child adopted by Tang Mian is very expensive to raise. Their family has no income now, can they feed that child? Don't starve to death! Zhang Lanhua said with a smile on her face.

"Humph! That's right, when their family is so hungry that they don't have anything to eat, I will definitely give them two bowls of white rice regardless of their previous suspicions. The young woman from before gritted her teeth.

"Let's say that, isn't that right?" A weak voice reached everyone's ears.

The others also nodded slightly, which was indeed not very good.

The young woman looked at them irritably, "Fake looks." I lost fifty yuan in vain, so let's think about how to explain to my mother-in-law when I go home! ”

This was echoed by a large number of people.

The reason why they followed Zhang Lanhua's spittle to make Tang Mian's rumors was also because they were jealous that she had a good mother-in-law.

"Yes, my mother-in-law doesn't know how to scold me."

"That's right, my man is fine, my mother-in-law will definitely not let me go."

"That old woman in my house is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all."

Thinking of the mother-in-law who often struggled with them at home, everyone's hearts were heavy.

Only Zhang Lanhua, who has become a daughter-in-law and is the master of the house, is not afraid of being scolded by others, except for heartache and money.

A group of young women sneak home and try their best to avoid their mother-in-law, but they are greeted by their own brooms.

"I'll kill you a loser, don't do anything all day long, and get into trouble."

This situation is staged in many places.

On the other side, when Tang Mian and the three returned home, it was already the end of the day.

When I walked into the house, I saw the little ones sitting in the yard, quietly waiting for them.

"Zhuangzhuang, why don't you rest in the room?" Tang Mian asked.

As soon as the little guy saw the three of them, he happily got up and walked over, "Grandpa, grandma, mother, I want to wait for you to come back, and I can see you at first sight." ”

"Yo! It's really grandma's good grandchild. Li happily touched his sturdy little face, and all his depression was swept away.

"But Zhuangzhuang, next time stay in the house and rest, don't sit here and wait."

Zhuang Zhuang nodded obediently.

Lu Zheng watched the interaction between his mother-in-law and grandson, with a happy face.

It's really a lot of joy to have a child at home.

"Grandpa, grandma, mother, are you done?" Zhuang Zhuang's eyes looked at the three of them without blinking.

Lu Zheng and Li glanced at each other, and both looked at Tang Mian, not knowing what she said to Zhuang Zhuang.

Tang Mian smiled and rubbed his sturdy little head, "It's all done, go back to the room to rest, and my grandmother and I will cook." ”

"Let's go, grandpa will take you back to your room." After hearing this, Lu Zheng stepped forward and took Zhuangzhuang's hand and said.

Zhuang Zhuang obediently let Lu Zheng lead him and went back to the room with him.

Tang Mian and Li walked into the stove room to prepare dinner.

There was still some dried rice left at noon, and Tang Mian directly added water to cook it into porridge.

As soon as the leftovers are hot, grab some pickles from the jar, and dinner is almost over.

"Mianniang, don't care what those people say, your father and mother believe in you." Li Shi said while lighting the fire while looking at Tang Mian who was busy by the stove.

Tang Mian's heart warmed slightly, "Mother, don't worry, I don't care about what they say at all." Now I just want to earn more money, buy medicine for Zhuang Zhuang to cure his illness, and be filial to you. ”

"That's good." After listening to Tang Mian's words, Li relieved his heart.

After the porridge was cooked, Tang Mian brought a large basin with some cold water, and then put the bowl containing the porridge into it, so that it could cool faster.

After making it, Tang Mian heated up the leftovers from noon again and went to the jar to grab pickles.

It was already more than half of the time after the family finished eating, Tang Mian cleaned up the stove room, and Lu Zheng and Li took Zhuang Zhuang to cool off in the courtyard.

"Knock knock!"

Lu Zheng shook the hand of the pu fan, and Li and Zhuang Zhuang also looked at the door.

"I'll open the door." Lu Zheng got up and said.

"Xiaomei, it's you!" Lu Zheng opened the door and saw Lu Zhiqiang's daughter-in-law Wu Mei.

"Third uncle."

"Third grandfather."

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and looked down, "Maomao, you little guy is here too!" I'm sorry, the third grandfather didn't see you. ”

Mao Mao's pair of small meat hands were forked on her fat waist, and she snorted angrily, "Third grandfather, Mao Mao is angry." ”

Wu Mei raised her face and slapped him on the back, "Be honest." ”

After beating her son, Wu Mei looked at Lu Zheng embarrassedly and smiled, "Third uncle, I'm here to send a few sets of clothes to Zhuang Zhuang, this kid wants to come over to see my brother." ”
