"Your third brother?"
"Yes, mother, the third brother is a man. He used to be young and still studying. Our eldest brother and my two tigers did all the farm work, and she was never allowed to do anything in the fields.
Now that the third brother has grown up, he has to help with the farm work at home. After all, neither my eldest brother nor my second tiger can do it, so it’s okay to let him do it. Mulan replied lightly.
Mrs. Zhu frowned, a little unhappy.
Mrs. Zhu cherished her son Zhu Sanlu very much. How could she be willing to let Zhu Sanlu work in the fields
Seeing Mulan speak, she curled her lips and replied, "How is your third brother doing? He has never cut rice before, and he can't do it if he is suddenly asked to do it."
Mulan was a little speechless, "Mom, who is born with something? It doesn't matter what the third brother is now. You can let Erhu teach him slowly! If you don't learn now, will you never learn it in the rest of your life
When the third brother gets married, he will definitely have to live separately from his eldest brother. At that time, the third brother will not be able to do farm work by himself, so he can no longer rely on his eldest brother to help him, right
Mom, it doesn’t matter if you dote on your third brother, but you have to make it clear. The third brother is not young now, so he has to take responsibility when it is time. He is not a child who will be protected by you all his life. "
Mrs. Zhu knew there was some truth in what Mulan said.
Sometimes people are like this. They understand the principle, but doing it is another matter.
Zhu Sanlu was held in the palm of her hand, and she was guarded by Lin Yuan all her life.
Can Zhu Sanlu endure the heat of the day when he is asked to work in the fields
With his body and bones, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than half an hour before he came back and quit.
Zhu Sanlu is also a coquettish person. If he cries and yells a few words, how can Mrs. Zhu bear it? It must be based on Zhu Sanlu's temperament.
Mrs. Zhu's lips trembled and she muttered, "Second daughter-in-law, it's not like your third brother has nothing to do at home now. He also has to teach his children to read..."
"Mom, don't you just teach kungfu for half a day? You can let your third brother do the other half of the day!"
Mrs. Zhu was still a little reluctant, "Teaching is not an easy job for your third brother. It requires using your brain. Teaching for half a day and working in the fields for the other half is too tiring, and others can't bear it."
After talking for a long time, Mulan finally understood. Mrs. Zhu just couldn't bear to let Zhu Sanlu go to the ground, so she found so many excuses.
In this case, it would be useless for her to continue talking.
After sighing, she replied to Mrs. Zhu, "Mom, if this is the case, then ask someone to help harvest it. It will cost you some money at most."
Mrs. Zhu looked troubled and asked Mulan weakly, "If you hire someone to help harvest rice, how much will you pay per day?"
"It's such a hot day, and such tiring work requires a person to earn at least forty or fifty cash a day. If you hire two or three people to mow a few acres of land, it will only take three to five days." Mulan replied.
Mrs. Zhu calculated in her mind that if two or three people stayed for three to five days, it would add up to hundreds of pennies.
How could she be willing to spend such a large amount of money
If you harvest the rice by yourself, then you don’t have to spend the few hundred pennies, but use it to buy meat, and you can eat it yourself to replenish your health.
Now, isn’t this just giving others an advantage and letting others make money
Mrs. Zhu sighed deeply, "It's too expensive, I can't bear to part with it..."
