"Give a bride price? Isn't that what happens next month? Hasn't the vegetable field at home been dug up and rapeseed already been scattered? The vegetables should grow next month, so why ask the second child? The second child's family It’s not like you don’t know what the conditions are. As parents, we don’t say we’re helping, but insist on making things worse for our children. What do you ask outsiders to say?” Of course, old Yu didn’t believe her nonsense, so he exposed it all at once. up.
"Shouldn't a son be filial to his parents? What can outsiders say! Is it true that a son eats spicy food and his parents can't eat, so others don't talk about it?" Zhang is a good hand at messing around.
Old Yu frowned, and became even more unhappy: "How can it be possible that you can't eat? Although the money for selling fish is not as much as before, it must be enough for a family. Besides, you still have a lot of money in your hand..."
"That is for the third son to study, no one can touch it!!" The youngest son is Zhang's Ni Lin, and no one can touch it. Hearing old Yu mentioning the savings, he immediately jumped up and looked at Yu Xiaocao next to him with a guilty conscience.
The anger in Old Yu's heart became even stronger: "As soon as you made money, you said you would study for the third child! But you went to the second child's house to make trouble! You are so biased!!"
"I'm eccentric? Say I'm eccentric!! After I marry you, I will have children, and I will not be willing to eat or wear clothes. Who am I for? Am I for myself? Don't you just want to confess a scholar and let the whole family follow along?" Are you living a good life? Who am I partial to? The eldest is my own, am I partial to him? The second child is more capable than the eldest, and I will remember all the contributions he made to the family!! Officer, as an elder brother, can't he get some credit too?" Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears as she spoke, as if she was the one who suffered and was wronged.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's tears, Lao Yu's heart softened, but he said: "Then there is no reason for the elder brother who separated from the family to support the younger brother to study! Don't cry here, there is no need to make people laugh , Come back with me!!"
Seeing that she couldn't take advantage of it today, Mrs. Zhang lingered towards the door. Li didn't dare to lift her head, and followed behind her mother-in-law disheveledly. Father-in-law is really angry today, he doesn't even give mother-in-law face, let alone her
"Ah!" Old Yu touched the head of Xiaocao who opened his eyes wide and looked at him, and then glanced at his son and daughter-in-law who had just come out of the backyard at this time, and sighed with exhaustion in his tone, "Wife is a good husband, it's a disaster." Little! Fortunately, I didn't listen to Mrs. Zhang's decision to appoint her niece from her mother's family for you. The daughter-in-law is a good one, so you can live a good life!"
After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back, stooped his body, and left step by step with heavy steps. ,
"Grandpa! I'll pick some vegetables for you to take home to eat!!" Yu Xiaocao was quite satisfied with Grandpa's performance today, at least he wasn't confused to the end.
Old Yu stopped, looked back at her, shook his head slowly and said, "No need, save the money for selling! This old house should be completely renovated, so as not to be crushed by snow in winter!"
Yu Xiaocao winked at her father. Yu Hai received it, and hurriedly said: "Father, what's the difference? Honor your father and eat some green vegetables, and your son can still afford it!! Mother Cao, go help Cao'er, pick some of every vegetable. "
He personally went forward to help old Yu's head back, sat on the stone bench in the yard, and poured a glass of water for father to quench his thirst. After drinking the tea brought by his son, Old Yu felt much better physically and mentally. The son still has his father in his heart.
Before they finished drinking a glass of water, the little grass girls had already picked up the vegetables quickly, took a basket and put them in, which looked about ten catties by visual inspection. Now the Yu family only has old Yutou and his wife, the elder couple and the unmarried sister, enough to feed for several days.
However, Mrs. Zhang was very dissatisfied, feeling that Yu Hai and the others had given less. While scolding Dahai's family from top to bottom in his heart, he took out more than half of the dishes that Lao Yutou had brought back, and sent them to his youngest son early the next morning.
After a night of nightmares, Mrs. Li's complexion was not very good, and she slandered Mrs. Zhang's eccentricity in her heart, and she muttered in front of Yu Dashan for a few days.
And Yu Xiaocao's family, who earned more than 860 taels of silver in a day, discussed with the more than 60 taels of silver how to use the money.
First of all, Yu Hai, the head of the family, spoke. He cleared his throat and said solemnly: "As I said just now, our Caoer's prescription sold for 800 taels of silver. The money has been entrusted to the third young master of the Zhou family to help buy a shop." Yes. I reckon that the newly built port shops won’t be too expensive! It shouldn’t be a problem to buy four! At that time, there will be four of you brothers and sisters, one for each of you, and you will be impartial!”
Yu Hang, who was half lying on the kang, hurriedly said: "That's the shop bought by my little sister's money. As an older brother, how can I take advantage of her? I should leave my room to my little sister!"
Yu Xiaocao stared at him with wide eyes, and said displeasedly: "Brother, you are wrong! We are brothers and sisters, why are we so clear?"
"People say that brothers are still clear about it! Let's use an analogy, if you ask dad to buy land and shop for uncle, it won't make sense anywhere." Yu Hang insisted.
Yu Xiaocao snorted, and said: "We have separated now, we have a lot of filial piety, and we don't have a single penny that shouldn't be paid! Brother, when you recover from your injuries, the business at the dock will be fine. I'll leave it all to you. In the future, a new port will be built at the dock, and you will expand the business at the dock and make a lot of money, so don't you care about your younger siblings?"
"That's impossible! It's our family's business, and of course all the money earned goes to the public!" Yu Hang immediately retorted.
"Is that different? The money I earn now will also be handed over to the public for unified management. Even if I don't give it to you now, we will still have to share it equally when we grow up and divide our families!" In a rough debate, Yu Hang will always be the loser.
Yu Hang frowned and wanted to decline again: "But... all this money is earned by you alone, little girl..."
"Okay, don't even talk about it! It's decided like this!!" Yu Hai saw that the two brothers and sisters were still arguing, so he opened his mouth to make a decision, "Xiaosha, don't feel that you are taking advantage of your sister. Let your brothers support you!"
Tomorrow Xiumu, who came back in the evening, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile, "Father! Even if there is no shop, my brother and I will definitely support the sisters! In the future, if anyone treats the second sister badly, I will Bring the second sister back and raise her for the rest of her life!!"
"Just raise your second sister? You don't see me as the eldest sister in your eyes?" Xiao Lian teased the younger brother with a smile.
Little Shitou had no time to change his words, but Xiaocao pinched his cheeks: "You little heartless, don't say so many good things, curse your second sister, I will be bullied in the future?"
Little Shitou just had a little fleshy face, but his second sister tore it apart to the sides, and then squeezed into a ball in the middle. His little mouth was squeezed into a pig's snout, and he still wanted to explain. This young champion who would be the top student in high school in his teens was completely spoiled by his second sister.
Yu Xiaocao had had enough of playing with his face, so she mercifully let him go. Xiao Shitou covered his reddened face, pouted and said, "Second Sister, I was wrong! Who dares to bully you, you are the only one who bullies others!"
"Of course!!" Yu Xiaocao looked smug, and then said, "One shop per person, it's such a happy decision! It would be even better if the shop is cheaper and you can buy more. In the future If we have any younger brothers and sisters, we will also prepare for them!"
Liu Muyun, who was sitting on the edge of the kang with a quiet smile, heard the words, and when she looked up and saw her little daughter's playful eyes, a blush suddenly appeared on her fair face, and she spat out, "You child, you are a big kid!" Yes, I even made fun of my parents!"
Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, "Mom, I'm telling the truth! Last time Dr. Sun helped my eldest brother to check up, didn't he check your pulse too? He said that your health is much better. The root cause of the disease that fell in the mother has to be raised during the confinement period. If your body wants to recover, give us a younger brother or younger sister! If you don’t want to bring it, Xiaolian and I will contract the task of taking care of the baby!! "
When Yu Hai heard that having a baby could make his wife recover physically, he was eager to try it. He has always been a person who is not good at hiding his emotions. After being seen by Liu Shi, the red cloud on his face became deeper. She quietly pinched Yu Hai's waist, but her man grabbed his hand and held it in his palm.
Xiao Shitou looked at the more than sixty taels of white silver on the table, and his handsome face showed joy from the heart: "Second sister, you are really capable!! You really were enlightened by the gods..."
Yu Hai hurriedly interrupted him, and reprimanded: "Go out and don't talk nonsense!! Your second sister picked up a remnant copy of a cookbook, plus she has a talent for cooking, so she can think of so many recipes for cooking! If someone asks you in the future, just say so! Did you all hear that?"
Yu Hang and Yu Xiaolian nodded solemnly. The little stone man Xiaogui said: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid! I won't sell my old sister!! I heard from my classmates that his family is relatively ignorant and backward, and his elder sister who can see strange things , burned to death alive. Said she was a monster, an ominous person who would bring disaster to the village... "
Liu was so frightened that she dropped the clothes she was making, hugged Xiao Cao tightly in her arms, and said nervously: "My daughter is not a monster, our Cao'er only brings good luck to people! Isn't it better to cross the family because of the grass? Little Shitou, don't talk nonsense in the future, you know!"
"I know, I know!" Xiao Shitou also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
Xiaocao was reluctant to leave in her mother's soft and warm embrace. With a happy smile on her face, she changed the subject and said, "What are you going to do with the sixty taels of silver? Do you save it or spend it?"
