Chapter 21 Not much, just a few hundred yuan
[Wow, this old witch is really powerful. She can confuse right and wrong with just one mouth. Who knows what the truth is? 】
【Don’t get involved! 】
Lin Xiangrong was so angry that she kept opening one corner of her swaddling clothes when she was held by the old witch.
Seeing that Zhou Zhaodi didn't notice, Mrs. Chen simply opened the inner side, exposing most of her small body, and blew the cold wind for a while. If Lin Xiangrong hadn't shrunk up and peed all over her, I'm afraid it would have happened now. alright.
[Mom, don’t be afraid of her. This old witch will not have a happy ending in the future. When she goes back, her youngest son has been killed by the bride’s brother, and those small shabby houses were almost bulldozed hahahaha. 】
Zhou Zhaodi forced a smile, her hair was messy and there was a slap mark on her face, but her eyes were indescribably determined, but when her eyes met Chen's, she inevitably showed a little panic.
It was a fear accumulated over many years.
"Is this a violation of the law?" Zhang Miao was a little frightened at first, but when he remembered that it was the third daughter-in-law's family who was responsible for the crime, she suddenly became happy: "Don't arrest anyone and bring them to our family."
"Is it against the law?" When she heard that her youngest son had broken the law, Mrs. Chen immediately exploded: "You little whore, you don't have a way to control your mouth and don't spray urine, your son is the one who broke the law!"
"Shit!" Zhang Miao's face turned cold, he threw the melon seeds on the ground and spat hard. The red mole moved as he spoke: "My son is not a scum!"
He even went to sleep with the bride. Even if the bride is willing, then they are already married, so why can’t they go together on the wedding day? Do you want fame? The pig cage would have been flooded before it was released!
"Mom, you can't borrow this money." Fang Hongying's heart aches when she thinks that the 200 yuan she borrowed will go down the drain. Her family is building a house and has no money. It would be great if she could provide subsidies to her family.
If you want to give the third daughter-in-law’s parents a bargain, there’s no way!
Wang Cuilan is not a fool: "My mother-in-law, you can go back and forth wherever you go. Our family has no money, and 200 yuan is not a small amount. Who can borrow it?"
For the sake of her precious granddaughter, Wang Cuilan didn't beat or scold anyone because she was holding back her temper. She glared at Zhou Zhaodi and put her precious granddaughter into her arms: "Go back to the house."
"Eh!"
Zhou Zhaodi hurriedly entered the house, ignoring Mrs. Chen who looked embarrassed outside the door. She hugged her daughter and sat on the kang, looking at the messy room, feeling very uncomfortable.
After scolding the person out in a few words, Wang Cuilan went to the front yard to cook with a sullen face. After cooking, several men who were much late from work also came back.
Several men were sitting and resting in the courtyard.
"It's going to snow soon, it's almost early winter." The old man smoked leaf cigarettes, staring at the leafless mountains in the distance, and sighed melancholy: "The harvest this year is not good, so you should tighten your belt in winter. When everyone is hungry, let the kids eat more."
"Dad, the harvest from house to house this year is not good. In a few days, I heard from the villagers that a group of leading cadres from the town will come to inspect. We must seize the opportunity to show off. Any selection opportunities next year will all depend on this. "
Yuan Nan is active and well-informed. He is usually the first to know about anything happening in the village. This matter was also revealed to him in private by the boss of the village party secretary.
Ask Lin Yuannan to be more flexible and join in more. He said that in addition to the leading cadres, there are also several businessmen coming to relax. If he can seize the opportunity to make some money, his family will not have to worry about the harvest in the future. Belly.
"Let's talk about it then." The old man threw the cigarette butt on the ground. He was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and a slightly thick black cloth jacket. He said with a vicissitudes of life: "Boss won't be able to work for a few days after he recovers."
One less labor force means a lot of work points are lost. At the end of the year, his family will lose a lot of money. In addition, the harvest is not good, and it is not sure whether they can have a bite of meat during the New Year.
"Head of the family." Zhang Miao came out of nowhere and whispered in Yuanxi's ear. He poked secretly and glanced at Yuannan: "That's it."
"What?" Yuan Xi glared. He didn't expect that the third daughter-in-law's mother-in-law was so powerful. She violated the law by staring at the slogans, and even had to pay for each of them with money. Isn't it really good to be jailed?
Yuan Nan, who was being looked at in turn by the couple, frowned: "What are you looking at?"
"Third brother, you can restrain your daughter-in-law from now on. Your daughter-in-law's natal family is nothing. If your brother-in-law makes a mistake, your daughter-in-law must pay to settle the matter. It costs 200 yuan!" Yuan Xi said and gloated: "That's not good. But it’s a crime!”
"Is this happening?!" Yuan Nan stood up and ran to the backyard. When he entered the house, he saw Zhou Zhaodi tidying up the house. The house was busy, so it was obvious that someone had come in and made trouble.
"What's going on? I heard from the second brother that something happened."
Zhou Zhaodi, who had calmed down, nodded: "It's not a big deal. The affairs of my mother's family will not affect our family." . In the front yard, Fang Hongying, who was returning from serving Yuandong with a full meal, was caught and scolded by Wang Cuilan. In a bad mood, she told Sister-in-law Cui that she would not sell her child bride and walked back, waving her hands.
"Hongying!"
Ms. Liu, Fang Hongying's mother from the same village, raised her hand with a smile on her face: "Come here, Mom has something to tell you."
"Eh!"
Fang Hongying is the youngest girl in the family.
She had lived a pretty good life since she was a child, otherwise she wouldn't have developed a firecracker personality that exploded at the slightest sign. Unlike Zhang Miao's personality who likes to gossip and watch people everywhere, she prefers to be straightforward.
"What's going on?"
Stepping forward, Fang Hongying keenly noticed that something was wrong with Mrs. Liu's expression. She paused, thinking that her natal house had collapsed and the family had no money to build a house. The eldest brother and the second brother's family were crowded into one room, including the children. Four or five people sleep on the same kang, which makes them feel uneasy.
Isn't his mother here to ask for money? She does have some private money, but it's not much. It's definitely not enough to build a house. Moreover, the harvest this year is not good. She is hungry in the winter and has to use the money to buy food for the first and second rich.
"Such a thing." Ms. Liu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that your family has sold personal ginseng in the past two days?"
"Who did you hear?"
Does everyone in the village know? It can't be that fast.
His family kept it a secret, and didn't say anything about it. How did mom know? "That's what happened."
As soon as she heard Fang Hongying's words, Ms. Liu smiled, her old face turned into chrysanthemums, and she rubbed her hands: "Didn't Yuandong come over to help clean up the collapsed house some time ago? Your eldest brother and your second brother live in the same room. It’s inconvenient for families to be crowded together.”
"Who picked up the ginseng?"
"Do you have a share of the money from the sale? If so, can you use it to build a house for mom? It's going to snow now, and there won't be enough houses to make life difficult in the winter."
At noon today, it was a joke that Zhou Zhaodi had a mother-in-law who knew how to ask for money. In the afternoon, her mother-in-law came over to ask for money.
For a moment, Fang Hongying was in a complicated mood, with an indescribable feeling of irritability and frustration.
Why can't her natal family help like Zhang Miao's natal family from time to time? Isn't this just like Zhou Zhaodi's mother's family who knows how to beat the autumn wind?
"The money is not in my hands. It was confiscated. My mother-in-law bought some supplements and brought them home. How much does it cost? If it's not much, I can go back and ask."
Even though she was very upset, it was her mother's family after all. Fang Hongying was going to go back and ask. If the money was not much, she would probably lend it out.
"not much."
Ms. Liu smiled and stretched out her hand: "Build two new houses and give your brother a daughter-in-law. There are three houses in total and the money for marrying the daughter-in-law, just a few hundred."
