Qian Shi, who was about to pour all the money together, paused when she heard this, frowned and thought about it, and looked at the private money that Zhou Dalang handed over, then she stretched out her hand to take the same amount from Friday Lang and Saturday Lang, Give the rest back to the two of you, and said: "Keep it for yourself, the family is in trouble, and you can't put all the money together. The fifth child is right. When you say goodbye, if there is money in the family, naturally I will pay you, if you have no money, you can use your own savings first, and then return it to you when the public has it. So you still have to have your own savings.”
She said: "Your eldest brother, second brother and third brother married their daughter-in-law with the money from the family. Your fourth brother used your elder sister's money to marry a wife. Our father-in-law will also pay back the money. In the future, you will naturally marry your daughter-in-law from the father-in-law." money."
"There are many children in the family. It is really difficult to level a bowl of water, but I will try my best to level it."
Wu Wulang was a little embarrassed, and said: "Mother, we don't want to say goodbye now anyway, so let's help the family first."
Mrs. Qian shook her head, "It's almost enough, you just pay the same amount as your elder brother, and you are at a disadvantage when it comes to this matter."
Now that the fifth and the sixth have done this, of course it is impossible for Qian to accept all of Zhou Xi's money, and she only took the same amount as Zhou Dalang, and returned the rest, "You are Gui Ning's daughter, and you have money in hand. Always have some money."
Zhou Zhoulang took out the money, while Qian only took the copper coins, and gave him back the rest, saying: "I have no use for your sister-in-law's dowry, let alone your daughter-in-law's dowry, take it back."
Zhou Zhoulang paid the least amount of money, but he didn't go out to make much money in the past six months, so Qian said to him, "You also have some snacks, and look at your brothers and sisters."
Thursday Lang bowed his head in shame.
Man Bao didn't have a lot of money, but Qian didn't take all of it, he grabbed a handful for her and asked her to save it to buy something to eat, and only accepted the rest.
Mrs. Qian called Tuesday Lang, Thursday Lang, Friday Lang, and Man Bao to the front, and sorted out the money together. Everyone's money was originally strung together in one hundred strings. Count them together and continue stringing.
Then Qian looked at the statistics from last night.
They don't know how to write, but they have their own way of counting.
Qian said: "A total of 18 people were injured. For those with minor injuries, it would be enough to give fifty coins. For those with serious injuries, they should be given one hundred coins. Like Da Liang and Da Gu, they were kicked hard and opened again. Kouzi, at least two hundred Wen..."
She asked Man Bao to write it down one by one, and then calculate the total.
A total of 2,350 Wen was needed, Qian breathed a sigh of relief, the money was enough.
After calculating the money, she called her sons and daughters-in-law over and began to assign tasks.
Zhou Dalang was seriously injured and could not go out. For the others, old Zhou Tou took Man Bao and money to see the most seriously injured, Tuesday Lang and Saturday Lang brought money to see the less seriously injured, Wednesday Lang and Zhou Wulang went to see the group of people who were least injured.
"Although you have brought money, you can't come to the door empty-handed," Qian asked Little Qian, "Do you have any eggs at home?"
"Picked eleven from the coop this morning."
"Too little, not enough," Qian took out the scattered copper coins from the money box, counted out seventy renminbi, and handed two more strings of money to Feng, He and Fang, saying: "You guys Go for a walk in the village, check every household, whoever has eggs, buy them back, it's 180 yuan."
The whole village may not have so many eggs, so Qian said: "Buy as many as you have."
The three daughters-in-law responded and hurried out.
Mrs. Qian then asked Mrs. Qian to find some baskets and said, "Put two catties of rice on each basket and divide them into eighteen baskets. Some things are hard to say, but we have to understand in our hearts that they suffer for us." Injury, thanks should be given, and proper etiquette must be kept up, not to mention the kindness in it, it is from the folks in the village, and these should also be."
Xiaoqian responded in a low voice.
Qian said softly: "Boss, you don't have to worry. Since the doctor said it's okay, you should be fine. You should be careful these few days and take the medicine for three days. If it still hurts, go to the county to have a look. Just now As you can see, there is still money left at home."
Xiaoqian responded with a choked-up sob, last night Zhou Dalang was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, it wasn't because of his back pain, if he didn't press there, it didn't hurt at all.
It was the back. I didn't think there was anything before, but after a long time, the bruises and bruises on the back appeared. He didn't lie down or lay down.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, and even Little Qian couldn't sleep either.
Xiaoqian quickly took out the good rice at home. Each basket contained two tubes of rice. Only the old Zhou's family could take out eighteen baskets in one go. If it was in someone else's house, they would definitely not be able to get it. from.
So you have to visit each household.
Summer is the season when hens love to lay eggs, especially recently everyone is hunting for snails in the fields.
Of course, the worms and snails caught will not be just thrown away. Most people will take them back and feed them to chickens and ducks. I love laying eggs.
Especially the chickens of Lao Zhou's family, Xiaoqian's raise them well, most of the hens like to lay two eggs in three days, and very few can even lay two eggs in one day.
So Feng waited and walked around, and really bought all the eggs.
Take them back carefully in three big baskets, and then everyone divides the eggs into small baskets and puts them on the rice.
Put ten in a basket, not a lot, just to express my heart.
Then everyone went out with their baskets, and even the big donkey's house next door, which they were not very close to, also shared one.
Because the big donkey was hit on the arm by the three sword scabbards, the bones were not broken, but the bruise was severe. The old doctor gave him medicinal wine to wipe it, and prescribed two medicines to reduce the swelling.
Because they were close, Zhou Zhoulang and Wu Zhoulang went to see their house first.
They brought money and things, even Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it, she sent him away with a smile, and when she turned around, she wanted to ask the donkey for the fifty Wen.
The donkey quickly looked at his father.
His father raised his eyelids to look at her, and said: "You also learn from others."
Mrs. Zhang was not happy anymore, pinched her waist and said, "Who do I learn from?"
"Who do you want to learn from? Who do you want to learn from? This money is for the big donkey to see a doctor. What are you going to do with it?"
"It's just swollen, apply cold water for a while, and then apply hot water later, it's almost the same. What kind of medicine do you need to take?"
"This is your son, the doctor prescribed medicine."
"Didn't you already take two copies of it? The medicine was also paid by their family, so taking two copies is almost enough."
He didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he said directly to his son, "You keep the money yourself. If it's still not good after taking the medicine, go to Daji to find a doctor and prescribe the medicine for two days."
The donkey happily agreed and stuffed the money into his pocket.
Mrs. Zhang fell backwards angrily.
