Chapter 52: Leaving Home
"I don't know who can't see anyone in the morning, and now he is pretending to be a filial son in front of me?" Li Youcai cocked Erlang's legs and took a sip of water, "You are so filial, go to the field to help yourself." ”
As he was talking, he heard the chatting voice of Li's mother and Zhang's family.
"Mother!" Li Youcai stood up excitedly and shouted, went out to take a look, and even Li's father came back with him.
"How's business going today?" Li Youcai couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't mention it, it's unlucky!" Mother Li said angrily, "None of them were sold!" Those people even said it was unpalatable! Isn't that what pig water smells like? Li Mumu also sells those, why do we have to say that what we sell is unpalatable? ”
"It's just that I really don't understand why Li Mumu can sell so well." Zhang also said puzzled.
They still haven't thought that it is because they are not clean and the halogen is not the same.
"What then? We still bought so much sewer, isn't it a loss? Li Youcai said urgently.
Originally, his family didn't have much money, but now he has used a lot of money to buy pigs into the water.
"Let's go sell it tomorrow." Li's mother said, "I don't believe that I can't sell a single one." ”
Several people entered the house while talking, and when they saw Li Youkang, Li's mother was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was on fire, "You still have the face to come back!" ”
Father Li didn't know what was going on.
Li Youcai also asked strangely: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
"You, a good brother, put aside our family's business and the work in the fields, and even went to be Li Mumu's partner." Mother Li said angrily.
"You're back now, what's the matter, don't you do it with Li Mumu?" Mother Li asked.
"I still did it with my sister." Li Youkang said.
"Then you get out!" Mother Li was suddenly furious, "I also told you, if you do it with Li Mumu, don't go home!" ”
Li Youcai's eyes rolled several times, and he suddenly asked: "You are working with Li Mumu, does Li Mumu give you wages?" ”
"He just fell in love with the salary given by Li Mumu, and he didn't even want his face." Mother Li said angrily, "This is because the family is not good to you!" Since you don't like this home so much, then you get out! Go out and live on your own! You have been at home since you were a child, you have food, drink and clothing, and you don't know that survival is not easy. I see you alone outside, can you live? No one cooks for you, can you do it yourself? If your clothes are torn, who will repair them for you? It's to find a place to live, I'm afraid I can't find it! ”
Li Youcai thought of going elsewhere, "How much salary does Li Mumu give you?" ”
Li Youkang frowned, "What?" ”
He just didn't care about his family before, and he wasn't a fool.
As soon as Li Youcai asked, he knew what Li Youcai meant.
Mother Li also reacted, and heard Li Youcai say: "If you want to live at home, it's okay." In the past, when you worked in the fields at home, ate and drank what you had at home, it was naturally no problem. But now you don't work for the family, you make money outside, and you give the money you earn to your mother, then you can still live at home, eat and drink at home, no problem. ”
"Yes, your eldest brother is right!" Mother Li nodded after that.
Li Youkang has seen the Gu family getting along, and the Gu family is in comparison, but now he suddenly doesn't want to care about it like before.
He doesn't care, but others take his carelessness as a fool.
Li Youkang suddenly smiled, "How much do you want?" ”
Mother Li didn't see the sarcasm in Li Youkang's smile at all, and said, "You first tell me how much you earned." ”
Li Youkang wouldn't tell her the truth now, so he said: "January 50." ”
"That's it?" Mother Li didn't believe it, "You tell the truth!" ”
"Isn't 50 too little?" Li Youkang said, "Can our family earn 50 wen a month?" Just by the harvest of our field. In the past, my father and I were doing all the work in the fields, and there were only two people, and everyone else was a family of three or four people. Therefore, the harvest in our field is not as good as that of other people's. Earn less. ”
"I feel that 50 texts, a lot." Li Youkang said.
Compared with the Li family, it is indeed not a few.
Mother Li said: "Don't say that I won't leave you a penny." You give me 40 wen, and you keep the remaining 10 wen for yourself. ”
"These 40 wen, not all of them have been spent by our family, I still have to save it for you to marry a daughter-in-law, and build another house when the time comes, all of which will require money." Mother Li explained.
This explanation seems reasonable, but Li Youkang asked: "Then how much money have you saved for me from the past to the present?" ”
"For more than ten years, I haven't spent a penny a month. According to such a preservation method, let alone build another room in our yard. It is enough to build another big house in our village, or even rent a house in the town. Li Youkang said.
"What I earned in the past was used by our family, not by yourself." Mother Li immediately said, "You also said that in the past, the money our family made in the past was not as good as what you earned in January now." Naturally, I didn't save much money. And your brother also used money to get married. ”
"Now that you've made another profit, I'm ...... I'll be depositing it for you from this month. Mother Li thought that she would get Li Youkang's money first.
Li Youkang wants to marry his daughter-in-law, and he has to wait for a long time, anyway, she is not in a hurry now.
When the time comes, I'm going to marry a daughter-in-law, and then I'll talk about it!
"10 Wen." Li Youkang lowered his head and smiled, "It's much stronger than not giving me a point before." ”
"Forget it, I'd better go out and live." Li Youkang said, "I would rather use this money to rent a place to live by myself than to be used to support my eldest brother's family." ”
Li Youcai suddenly said unhappily: "How can you speak!" What does it mean to raise our family! ”
"In the past, you just worked in the fields, never working, and the family's income was earned by me and my father. Didn't all the money you earn support your family? Li Youkang said, "Now I need 40 wen a month, my mother is used to hurting you, so naturally she wants to use it to support you." ”
"What is stored for me, when I will believe?" Li Youkang pouted.
"You've only been working with Li Mumu for a day, how did you become like this!" Mother Li couldn't believe it, "What kind of ecstasy soup did she pour into you, making you have such a deep grudge against your family!" ”
"Sister didn't say anything." Li Youkang said coldly, "It's just that I saw what you did in the past." Just because I don't say I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand. ”
"It's just that now I don't want to worry about it anymore, why is it that only the eldest brother is the happiest in this family?" Li Youkang pulled his lower lip, "I also want to live happily." I make my own money, my own life, and my future prospects, I will grasp and run by myself. You shouldn't care if I can eat outside or if I can have an eaves to shelter me from the wind and rain. ”
After Li Youkang finished speaking, he went back to the house to pack a small bag of his clothes.
