At dusk, Li Minghua brought Wang Aizi. Wang Aizi went directly to the pig pen. Seeing that the two big fat pigs were growing well, he estimated: "I think these two pigs should weigh nearly 400 kilograms at least. What's the price? I’ll give you fifty cents.”
When Li Minghua heard that he was only given 50 cents, he immediately gave up: "The price of pork has risen to 1.2 yuan in the past two days, and you only give 50 cents for woolly pigs? No, the price is too low."
Wang Chaozi smiled and said: "How about giving it another three points?"
Li Minghua insisted: "I won't sell it without 60 cents."
Six cents? Wang Chaozi bought it at this price. When it was resold, he made no profit, so he spread his hands and said, "I can't pay this price."
Li Minghua did not give in at all, and the deal was not concluded at all.
The next day, Li Minghua took people to see his pigs again. After hard work, he finally raised the price to 60 cents per pound.
Li Minghua borrowed a large scale and weighed both pigs, a total of 378 kilograms. A total of 226 yuan and 80 cents were sold. With this money, it will be enough for the New Year, and it will be enough for the family, but the seeds and pesticides after next spring will have to come from this money, as well as Li Jianbo’s tuition fees, and the family’s house plans to be renovated, so he has to save money for When Li Jianping marries a wife, he needs money everywhere.
However, before the money could be spent, the aunt came to the door.
As the saying goes, he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Liu Chunzhi doesn't have a good attitude towards this sister-in-law, and he also expected the purpose of her visit.
When Zhang Weihong came over, she saw Li Wei hanging clothes in the yard. She deliberately raised her voice: "Hey, Weiwei is home. I haven't seen Weiwei for a few days. I heard that you were sick. Are you well now?"
Li Wei turned to look at the woman. Zhang Weihong was wearing a green dress and was slightly shorter than Liu Chunzhi. She had slender eyebrows and a smile on her face, but she could see a hint of disdain in the smile. It's been a few days before I showed any concern. Li Wei nodded calmly and said: "Everything is fine."
"That's good. Chinese New Year will be here soon. It's not good to be sick." Zhang Weihong didn't intend to hang around with Li Wei too much. She was not here to ridicule her niece for watching her niece's jokes. She was looking for her sister-in-law. There is serious business.
Zhang Weihong said to Liu Chunzhi with a smile: "Chunzhi, come here, I have something to discuss with you."
Liu Chunzhi was knitting with wool in her hand. This dress was knitted for Jianping. Zhang Weihong invited Liu Chunzhi to sit in the room, and Liu Chunzhi followed him in.
Li Wei has already hung up her clothes here. She knows that Liu Chunzhi doesn't like her aunt, so she still wants to go over and help Liu Chunzhi talk to support her.
Li Wei walked in from the outside and saw that his mother's face was not very good. He looked at the aunt and thought it must be because of this woman.
She wanted to see what this woman was doing
Sure enough, Zhang Weihong saw the opportunity and said to Liu Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, I saw the two pigs you sold. They are so fat. I'm afraid they weigh 400 kilograms."
Liu Chunzhi said calmly: "It's not even 380."
"That's not bad. The price of raw pigs is good this year. I'm afraid it cost more than 200 yuan. This..." Zhang Weihong blushed slightly and wrung his fingers in embarrassment.
Li Wei saw that this aunt was here to borrow money. Seeing her mother's embarrassment, she said before Liu Chunzhi could say anything: "It doesn't have much money. I will have to go to school after the new year. I'm afraid it won't be enough for me and my brother."
Liu Chunzhi glanced at her daughter in surprise and thought, Weiwei's mind was still spinning fast. She was thinking of countermeasures, but unexpectedly her daughter had already made excuses for her.
Zhang Weihong's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to say: "There was such a big joke before, and it spread all over the village. Do you still want to go to school?"
Li Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "You can improve a lot if you know your mistakes. I am willing to continue reading, and my mother agreed. I can't care what others say."
Zhang Weihong thought to herself that she had only been studying for a few days and her words were so literate. She smiled with some disdain and said: "What are you doing reading so many books? Our Axia's grades are better than Weiwei's." , No, I won’t continue reading. No matter how much I read, I won’t marry into someone else’s family in the future.”
Liu Chunzhi said: "She is still young, let's get through junior high school first."
Zhang Weihong looked at Li Xiaoxiao and thought to herself that this little girl is really thick-skinned. She looked at Liu Chunzhi again and thought to herself that this sister-in-law is also big-hearted. Li Wei seemed dishonest at first glance and even agreed to go on. I'm afraid It won't be long before it becomes a joke again. Although she had a smile on her face, she asked with some disdain in her words: "You have been delayed for so long, can you still keep up? I'm afraid you will have to repeat the grade."
Li Wei said calmly: "It's okay, my second brother said he would help me with tutoring."
Zhang Weihong knew that Liu Chunzhi was stingy. It seemed that he couldn't borrow the money today, so he had to think of other ways. Zhang Weihong didn't stay any longer and stood up to say goodbye.
Liu Chunzhi did not lend money to Zhang Weihong, but Li Minghua went to find Liu Chunzhi two days later and said: "The eldest brother's family is said to be building a house, and he still owes some money, so why don't we take some out."
"Take it? How to take it?"
Li Minghua chuckled: "Eldest brother said he lent us the money and would pay it back to us when he has money in the future."
Liu Chunzhi knew that her husband had a soft ear and couldn't stand being talked about. She didn't know much about who Zhang Weihong was. She had lent the money and was afraid it would be difficult to get it back, so she said calmly: "It's too much." We don’t have it either, let’s give him 20 yuan.”
"2, 20? Isn't it too little? No matter how little it is, it's still a hundred."
Liu Chunzhi retorted at that time: "If it's too little, don't ask for it. Is our family rich? It's not like the strong wind blew it."
As a result, the couple had a quarrel over borrowing money. In the end, Li Minghua couldn't talk down Liu Chunzhi, and later ran away from home in anger.
Li Wei listened to the couple's quarrel and thought that it was still unclean in the middle of the night. This moment actually reminded her of her parents in Shangshu Mansion. In her memory, her parents would also quarrel, and so many years had passed in the blink of an eye. I'm afraid I won't be able to see them again in this life. Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a little sad.
Li Minghua finally lent the money to his elder brother, and he actually borrowed one hundred.
Because of this matter, Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi had another big fight.
Since the last time Li Jianping said he was going to the city and Li Minghua refused, Li Jianping has been silent even at home.
The old couple had a quarrel, and they hadn't spoken to each other for several days. In addition, Li Jianping didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the whole family became strange.
Li Wei has never fully integrated into this new family, and he usually doesn't take the initiative to speak.
The house suddenly became a little dull, but no one among the four people took the initiative to break the dullness.
