Hearing this, where did Liu Chengpeng dare to continue to be verbose, and hurriedly curry favor and said: "Mother, don't say such things to poke your son's heart!" I am the eldest son, and you should retire in my home. Niu's, go serve chicken soup and replenish your mother's body. ”

Niu Shi was stunned, she didn't kill chickens at all, where did the chicken soup come from?

Besides, the clay pot brought by the second brother and sister just now is full of chicken soup, haven't you drunk it yet?

"Mother, you're full, I'll bring it to you in the evening." Niu Shi sneered and said, "In charge, my mother is full of food and drink, and it is time to rest, and you should not disturb your mother's rest here." ”

It was only when the couple were gone that the old lady opened her eyes.

Hey, sigh.

It's finally over, and I don't have to be forced to ask the second family for silver.

But the old lady felt that it was over, but she didn't expect that Old Man Liu would carry a clay pot an hour later.

Originally, the old lady thought it was chicken soup, so she sat up and drank it.

However, what this old man Liu poured out was actually a bowl of black medicine. The smell emanating from these medicine bowls, as soon as the old lady smelled it, she knew that it was bitter.

"Mother, drink the medicine." Old man Liu has a respectful attitude, even if it is his own mother, he is not used to it.

The old lady shrank back, "I'm already fine, I don't need to drink medicine." ”

"Mother, that Lang Zhong also said that you are angry, how can you do it without drinking medicine? This is a medicine that I bought for 500 yuan, wouldn't it be a pity not to drink it? Old man Liu said, "The old lady is sick, and the son doesn't ask the old lady to ask for a doctor and buy medicine, so how can he have the face to see the underground father in the future?" ”

Liu Chengpeng was embarrassed, but he wanted to persuade the old lady to drink it.

But the black medicine was very bitter at first glance, and Liu Chengpeng was embarrassed to speak.

The old lady had a hard time riding the tiger, so she could only pick up the bowl and drink it.

Old man Liu took the bowl and said with concern: "Mother, you have to drink this medicine for three days, two meals a day, and in the evening, my son will send you medicine again." ”

"No need, I'm fine!" The old lady hurriedly shouted, it was really too bitter.

Old man Liu had already turned around with a bowl at this time, "Mother, let's see if we are sick, don't shy away from the doctor!" Good medicine is good for disease, mother, don't be as willful as a child, you have to take medicine when you should take medicine. ”

After speaking, Old Man Liu left with a clay pot.

The old lady was fed medicine by Old Man Liu for three days, and the medicine of Coptis chinensis was added, which was bitter and unpleasant. Since then, the old lady no longer dares to pretend to be sick and ask for money.

Liu Chengpeng was also talked about because he didn't ask his wife for a doctor and buy medicine.

However, Liu Chengpeng has a thick skin, people don't care at all, and pretends not to know, which perfectly interprets that his skin is thicker than the city wall.

Although the Niu family is still worried about Liu Yiyi's family's silver, there is no good excuse to ask for money now, so they have to give up.

"Mother, I heard that the second brother spent a lot of money to buy a puddle in the south of his house, such a broken place, you can't farm land at all, and you can't raise fish. Now they're digging a pond like fools! Liu Chengpeng was annoyed.

How good it is to have that silver and buy good land!

Niu also muttered in a low voice on the side, "Yes, mother, the second brother is not thoughtful, and you don't talk about it?" ”

The old lady knew that this was the eldest son, and the eldest daughter-in-law wanted her to go to the second son's house to make trouble and get some money.

It's just that she's old and can't make trouble!

As soon as she thought of those bitter medicines, the old lady shuddered, she was really afraid of the sincerity of her second son!

"That's Chengxiang's own silver, and I didn't ask you to borrow it." After the old lady finished speaking, she went out for a walk with a crutch.

Having said that, the old lady still unconsciously went over there to have a look.

Liu Chengpeng, Niu's saw the old lady passing, and thought that the old lady was going to teach Liu Chengxiang a lesson, so he smiled secretly in his heart, waiting to see a good show.

The old lady did not enter Liu Yiyi's house, but walked directly to the puddle.

Liu Zhijiang saw his grandmother coming, and hurriedly said to his father: "Grandmother is here, is there something wrong?" Do you want to go up? ”

Old man Liu shook his head and went about his work, "Let's quickly get all the stones and pebbles out of this field, and then mix them with the silt on the other side of the puddle, and the cultivated land can be turned into a middle field, maybe in a few years we will be able to grow a good field!" ”

The old lady saw that her second son was still busy with work, so she didn't stop, so she found a place to sit down and watch the second son's family work.

Zhao Xiaolan came to deliver water and saw the old lady.

"Grandmother, it's very hot, why are you sitting here? Why don't you come home with me and sit cool? Zhao Xiaolan asked.

The old lady shook her head, "I'm just here to see!" ”

The eldest son's family didn't do anything else except for the necessary work.

But these two sons' families are different, as long as there are benefits, no matter how hard and tired they are, they are not ambiguous, and they are not lazy.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaolan did not continue to persuade, "Grandmother, are you thirsty?" ”

"I'm not thirsty, you hurry up and send it to your father-in-law and your man's brother-in-law!" The old lady waved her hand and said.

Zhao Xiaolan nodded, "Then I'll send it over!" ”

For this eccentric grandmother, Chao Xiaolan only maintained superficial respect.

After Zhao Xiaolan left, the old lady turned her head to look at the built house, and then thought about the second son's family now has twenty acres of land.

When the family was divided, only five acres of land were allocated to the second son, but he didn't expect that he had saved twenty acres in less than ten years, and his life was prosperous.

On the contrary, it was the eldest son's family, who had 20 acres of land when they split the family, and only saved 30 acres of land over the years.

You must know that the eldest son's family and two grandsons get a lot of money in the county a month, and the younger grandson farms at home, and she has her private house to supplement it on weekdays.

But that's it, but the life is not as prosperous as the second son's family.

Is it wrong for the old lady to start reflecting on it?

Old man Liu is working under the scorching sun for his son and grandson, although he is wearing a straw hat, but the hot sun shines on people's bodies, and it hurts hotly.

Together with the puddle, the title deed says that it is eight acres, but in fact this piece is a total of dozens and a half acres.

If these lands can be raised well, the family can have nearly 30 acres of land.

So not only Old Man Liu, but also Liu Zhijiang, Liu Zhihe and others were also very excited, and they spared no effort to work.

Although I was only able to raise more than one acre of land a day, I was very tired, but everyone was very happy.

The stones were not thrown away, but were piled together, whether they were used to build a pigsty or a wall.

As for those small pebbles, they are also useful, paved on dirt roads, so you don't have to walk on muddy ground on rainy days!

On a rainy day, a road with stones like this will not be too slippery.

Liu Zhijiang saw Zhao Xiaolan coming and asked, "Grandmother, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Xiaolan replied: "I asked just now, but my grandmother didn't say it, and I don't know what she came to do!" ”

Everyone was scared, thinking that the old lady came to make a fuss and asked for money and things!
