Ever since she heard that her mother-in-law had obtained several residential plots from the team leader, even the wood was ready, and the house was built, Zhou Xuemei thought her mother-in-law wanted to divide the family.
But even after they moved into the new house, Zhou Xuemei still didn't wait for her mother-in-law to take the initiative to talk about dividing the family property.
Thinking of the incident in which her mother-in-law broke her head, Zhou Xuemei did not dare to ask directly. She just secretly thought about how to start the conversation.
During dinner, after Qian Shulan had evenly distributed the food, the whole family was eating happily. Suddenly, she felt a faint heat coming from the crystal ball in the inside pocket of her shirt.
Qian Shulan was shocked.
Before, she put various objects in front of the crystal ball, but it didn't react at all.
At this moment, it actually became hot. Could it be that spiritual energy appeared
She looked at the crowd.
Sun Daqin was still wearing her half-worn gown, with no changes at all.
Li Chunhua was as simple as ever. Even though Qian Shulan rewarded Li Chunhua with a few feet of new cloth, she didn't make a dress for herself, but made a new dress for Xiaomei. Qian Shulan didn't comment on this matter. Anyway, she had rewarded her and her purpose had been achieved. Well, Li Chunhua didn't do anything unusual.
She turned her gaze to Zhou Xuemei. Her clothes were half old and half new, very ordinary, but there was a piece of jade hanging around Zhou Xuemei's neck. The color of the jade was a little green, but there seemed to be some black spots in it.
That should be it.
Qian Shulan wasn't sure if it was caused by the jade, but the jade was Zhou Xuemei's after all, so she couldn't ask for it. What if she borrowed it
After dinner, Qian Shulan asked Zhou Xuemei to stay and asked casually, "What are you wearing around your neck?"
Zhou Xuemei lowered her head and touched the jade on her neck, then subconsciously stuffed it back into her collar and buttoned it up.
Qian Shulan's face darkened at Zhou Xuemei's anti-theft action, and she stood up directly, "I just want to borrow it to have a look. If you don't want to, forget it. Why do you have to do that?"
Having said that, he turned his face down and walked away.
Zhou Xuemei blushed. Then she pouted, "If you don't want it, then why are you asking? You think everyone knows it. Whatever good things there are at home, you have to bring them to your room."
Now she is even more shameless, even taking away the dowry sent by her own family. She is really going too far!
She originally thought that her mother-in-law had made changes and knew how to take care of their house, but now it seems that she was too naive.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't live in the Wang family anymore, and she wanted to separate all the time.
However, the mother-in-law had no intention of dividing the family at all. After much thought, she urged Wang Shouli to go and ask.
Anyway, he is my mother-in-law's son, and even if she is angry, she won't do anything to him.
After returning to the room, Zhou Xuemei sent Wang Shouli to ask about the division of the family property.
Wang Shouli agreed without hesitation.
After dinner, the family divided into two groups to learn to read from Wang Zhengkang and Wang Danna respectively.
Qian Shulan followed Wang Danna. She found that Wang Danna, a junior high school student, was more reliable than Wang Zhengkang, a freshman in high school, and made fewer mistakes.
Qian Shulan has the best learning attitude and the fastest learning speed.
Wang Danna admired her mother very much. If she could be as smart as her mother, she would not have been rejected when she took the entrance exam for technical secondary school that year.
Seeing that the old lady was studying so well, everyone took it seriously.
After recognizing the words, Qian Shulan took her notebook back to her room.
Wang Shouli also followed him in.
After he stammered out his purpose for coming, he felt relieved to see that his mother didn't seem angry.
"It's not impossible for you to split up the family, but you have to give up your job." Qian Shulan glanced at Wang Shouli coldly and said expressionlessly.
The temporary job that she had finally found was given to him, but he only thought about his own family. Qian Shulan was really angry, but then she thought that separation was inevitable, so why was she so angry!
I was really mad at him.
When Wang Shouli heard his mother mention work, his tanned face turned red. The temporary job that his mother had found with great difficulty fell on his shoulders, but he only wanted to divide the family business. It was really wrong.
He was torn between his mother and his wife. One insisted on dividing the family property, while the other obviously did not want to.
But when he thought of his wife's little thoughts, he became a little uneasy again.
Xuemei has been married to him for so many years and has always been understanding and considerate to him. Besides, he has no other requests, he just wants to separate from the family as soon as possible.
He asked tentatively, "Mom, if I give up my job, can you really split the family business?"
Qian Shulan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect that Wang Shouli would give up such a good job just to divide the family? He really loves his wife.
Qian Shulan pretended to think seriously, "When your eldest brother or third brother gets the certificate of completion of the literacy class and can take over your job, your house can be divided out." Divided out? Don't even think about it. How can she reform him if it's divided out? The only way for now is to delay. It's a reasonable request. Her forced suppression will only push these cheap sons further away. So, the roundabout tactics came in handy.
Wang Shouli said "oh" and felt a little sad. He drooped his shoulders and frowned dryly.
Qian Shulan sighed heavily, "Fourth brother, mother has six children, and your eldest and third brothers bear the heaviest burden. You can blame mother, but anyway, this job must stay at home, and the salary must stay at home."
Wang Shouli hummed in a muffled voice. He understood the reason, but he was still a little depressed. It turned out that in his mother's heart, he was not her favorite son.
Qian Shulan knew that he felt bad, but he had to figure it out. The original body had four sons, and she couldn't just be open-hearted to him.
The two chatted for a while. Qian Shulan couldn't hold back her thoughts. She lowered her voice and leaned close to Wang Shouli's ear, whispering, "I want to see the jade your wife is wearing today. Bring it here for me to see."
Facing Wang Shouli's suspicious eyes, Qian Shulan felt a little depressed. It was only after she returned to her room that she remembered why Zhou Xuemei had such a reaction. The original body had once forcibly taken the clothes that Zhou Xuemei's parents had given her and sold them to a family in the village who loved their daughter. She didn't give Zhou Xuemei a penny of the money from the sale, but kept it all in her own pocket. No wonder, she just asked, and Zhou Xuemei was like a thief.
Qian Shulan was afraid that Wang Shouli would think that she wanted to take Zhou Xuemei's things for herself, so she quickly added, "I just want to take a look. I promise to return them to you."
Wang Shouli thought about it and said, "Okay!"
Qian Shulan was afraid that he would not be able to take it, so she took out a can of malted milk from her cabinet and said, "This is the malted milk that mother specially asked your fifth brother to buy. It cost a lot of money. Have you finished the can I gave you last time?"
Last week, Wang Shouzhi came back to tell her that Xiaodie's household registration had been transferred to his and her school had been transferred to the Water Conservancy Bureau. Wang Shouzhi not only brought a can of malted milk, but also some food.
Now, Wang Shouzhi is in better and better condition, he is more energetic and has a smile on his face. When he goes to the countryside to dig wells, he will leave Xiaodie to the care of his colleague's wife. Of course, he also pays her wages and food.
Wang Shouli was really surprised at this moment. How could he not know his mother's attitude towards Xiaotao? Even the chickens in the family had a higher status than Xiaotao, otherwise, his wife would not have always wanted to divide the family.
Although his mother also gave them a can of malted milk last time, it was a gift from someone else after all, so he didn't spend any money on it. Now, his mother actually took the initiative to buy malted milk for Xiao Tao, which was even more unusual than the sun rising from the west. He also asked his colleagues about it, and found that malted milk was not easy to buy. Not to mention the high price, it was also a special food, and tickets were very difficult to get. Wang Shouli was shocked that his mother would go to so much trouble for Xiao Tao.
"When you go out, be careful not to be seen by the other rooms."
Whether she did it to please her son or to increase Wang Shouli's filial piety, her original purpose was to buy it for Xiaotao.
Before Qian Weihan sent her a telegram, Xiao Tao must not get sick, otherwise the effect of the medicine would be reduced by half. She couldn't let the medicine she spent a hundred gold coins on go to waste.
When Wang Shouli actually touched the malted milk and when his fingers felt the coldness on the iron sheet, he truly felt that his mother was actually very good to their family.
After Wang Shouli went out, he came back not long after.
He held the jade in his hand, and Qian Shulan took it with a smile, "I'll give it back to you tomorrow morning!"
Hearing his mother's assurance, Wang Shouli nodded and went out.
After Wang Shouli closed the door, Qian Shulan took out the crystal ball from her pocket. The egg-sized crystal ball suddenly emitted a blue light when it touched the jade.
Qian Shulan stared at the crystal ball.
She watched as the stars inside seemed to light up one by one, and then, the light spots seemed to move little by little, all converging towards the Milky Way in the middle.
Not long after, the lit stars went out again, and the starry sky in the crystal ball became completely quiet.
Qian Shulan immediately opened the mall and asked No. 153 whether this phenomenon meant that he had spiritual power.
No. 153 quickly replied, "Yes, this is spiritual power. Once all the stars in the crystal ball gather in the Milky Way, it means that the spiritual power is full. By the way, what do you have over there that has spiritual power?"
The spiritual power in different worlds is different. Some are in plants, some are in animals, and some are in humans. . .
"It's a piece of jade."
No. 153 was a little surprised: "Then why don't you try something else? Maybe an antique."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment. An antique
She remembered that there seemed to be an ancestral hall in Wangjia Village.
There is an incense burner over there in the ancestral hall, which seems to be hundreds of years old.
Could she go and have a look too
Qian Shulan was a little dazed. It was just the ancestral hall of Wangjia Village. How could a woman like her have the chance to enter
Qian Shulan was a little discouraged.
But then she thought that now that everyone was so busy, it was a good time for her to go in.
Because many people in the village went to the fields to pull weeds and earn work points, even teenagers would go.
Qian Shulan suddenly thought, if so many people went to the fields, would there be no one to guard the ancestral hall
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was feasible.
Qian Shulan immediately found the current patriarch of the Wang family and asked to borrow the key from him, saying that she had left something in the ancestral hall when she came to help clean last time.
The clan leader didn't think much about it. There was nothing important in the ancestral hall, so he told her to return the key as soon as she got her things.
Qian Shulan naturally agreed.
When Qian Shulan arrived at the ancestral hall avoiding the crowd, she saw that the Wang Family Ancestral Hall was not the kind of exquisite and magnificent large ancestral halls in later generations. On the contrary, the most outstanding ancestor of the Wang family was only a scholar, and that was during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
If we trace back to the origin, it has been more than eight generations, so the people in Wangjia Village are all from lower-middle peasant families.
Because the family was not very prominent, the ancestral hall was very simple. Moreover, the space was very small, and there were no outstanding people, so there were no records of the life stories of the ancestors.
There were no blue cloth curtains on either side of the ancestral hall. Instead, there were only blackish yellow pillars standing upright at both ends, with rows of ancestral tablets placed in the front.
Qian Shulan didn't even bother to look at it carefully. She walked straight to the front and picked up the incense burner.
This incense burner has a very ordinary shape, a copper burner with two handles, but the craftsmanship is quite good.
After hundreds of years, the bronze light still flickers faintly.
Qian Shulan didn't look at it for long and just took out the crystal ball to see if it worked.
When she saw the stars in the crystal ball moving again, she almost jumped out of joy.
After about three minutes, the starlight stopped again.
When Qian Shulan put the incense burner back, she suddenly noticed the rows of seats in front, which seemed to be hundreds of years old.
She shuddered violently and slapped her forehead hard. She was really possessed by the devil. This was a great disrespect to the dead!
Qian Shulan quickly took out three incense sticks from the table, lit them, and bowed to the ancestors of the Wang family, muttering, "Don't blame me, don't blame me."
Then she put the incense in the incense burner before Qian Shulan left the ancestral hall.
The author has something to say: There is only one update today, my waist is sore, let me be lazy for a day, and continue with 6000 words tomorrow.
