"Mom, grandma is so partial, why don't we separate our families? If we separate, we don't have to look at grandma's face, and we don't have to ask grandma to share the food." Yan Qing said as if unintentionally.
"Silly son, what do you know? If it had been a few years ago, my mother would have definitely wanted to separate the family. Living under the hands of an old lady, how can it be as satisfying as being the master of one's own family? But hasn't the situation changed? Our family's situation has improved in recent years. A little. The old lady has money and can afford your education. If the family separates, your father and I won't be able to afford it.
The old lady is a monkey spirit. If the family is divided, she will definitely not give out all the money in her hand. She will only give us a little bit. Then she can give the rest to the first and third bedrooms. Then we It’s a loss for Dafa, you know
Also, that girl Fubao is really lucky. When she goes out, she either picks up chickens or rabbits. Yes, there is also that stone. It has been sitting in our house for several years and no one has noticed anything inside. When she dropped it, gold came out. Although my mother doesn't like her either, she has to admit that she is lucky. Being with her can bring you glory, and maybe it will be easier for you to take exams in the future. "
Yan Qing looked confused and said, "But our family didn't benefit from her. Instead, we have been unlucky. I broke my head when I snatched an egg from her today. Last time, I stole a piece of osmanthus cake from her. She fell from a tree and sprained her feet for several days. Why do I think all the good things are hers and all the bad things are bad for our family?"
When he said this, Miao Guihua's heart also skipped a beat. She usually didn't think about it carefully, so she never noticed it. Now that I think about it carefully, it’s not exactly what my son said!
Fu Bao is regarded as a lucky star, with good luck and frightening luck. He is also a picker of gold and wild animals. But their family really didn't get any glory, but everything went wrong.
In the past, the third child, a couple, had been married for many years and could not have children. They had the least status at home, had little to eat and had to work a lot, and were least liked by their parents.
On the contrary, the man in his family has always been favored because he is the old lady's youngest son. The old lady was lazy at work and turned a blind eye. And what's good about it is that the old lady is the first to think of him, and she and her son can also benefit from it. There is also the eldest grandson of Dafang, these two people are the old lady's favorites.
But since Fu Bao was born, everything has changed. Her man's special treatment is gone, their four bedrooms have more work to do, and the old lady's small private allowance is gone. The status of the fourth house plummeted, and it was no longer in the old lady's favor.
All the benefits went to Fubao, and Fubao became the most important person in the old Song family, and the status of the third bedroom also increased.
Although Fubao did bring a lot of benefits to the family, there would be a meaty tooth-slapping ceremony from time to time. However, thinking back carefully, there was another strange thing that she had always ignored.
That's what Fu Bao brought back, and they couldn't bear it.
Fu Bao went out and picked up a rabbit. After making it into a dish, the whole family was fine after eating it. They only had diarrhea in the four bedrooms and ran into the latrine all night. Fu Bao picked up a chicken, and the others were fine after eating it, but their fourth brother started to vomit and have diarrhea after eating it...
The old lady also angrily scolded them for being cheap and unable to enjoy good things. Or should we say that they secretly ate their food and the food conflicted with the meat? Otherwise, everyone else was fine, but they were the only ones who suffered
Miao Guihua thought it made sense at the time. The problem might lie with their fourth room, so she could only reflect on it and find the reason.
But now when her son reminds her, she feels that things are not simple. All the blessings belong to Fubao, so why are they all the unlucky ones? This is too evil!
Could it be that this girl Fubao came specifically to conquer their fourth bedroom
When she thought of this possibility, Miao Guihua couldn't sit still, "This girl Fubao is indeed weird. No, I have to tell your grandma and invite a master to come to the house to take a look!"
Yan Qing stopped her quickly, "Mom, grandma won't believe it and will scold you. Grandma has benefited from Fu Bao. In her eyes, Fu Bao is the reincarnation of Fu Bao. If you tell her, she will only turn to Fu Bao. . And if you speak ill of Fubao, you will definitely be in trouble again.”
"What should we do?" Miao Guihua panicked. The ancients were still very superstitious about these things, and she now somewhat believed in Fu Baoke and his fourth wife.
Suddenly, she remembered what Yan Qing said just now -
Separate families.
Fu Bao is so evil, why can't they afford to hide him if they can't afford to offend him
However, when she thought of the money in the old lady's hands, Miao Guihua hesitated again. The cost of Zhu Zhu's education was not small, and they would definitely not be able to afford it on their own.
Yan Qing saw what she was hesitating about and added fuel to the fire.
"Mom, last month, Fu Bao went out to play and picked up a radish. When she got it back, grandma said it was ginseng and sold it for two hundred taels of silver."
"What?!" Miao Guihua raised her voice, "Is this true?"
Yan Qing pulled her and whispered, "Mom, please keep your voice down. It's true. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Grandma didn't tell anyone. Only she, grandpa and Fu Bao knew. She said this money I can’t let you know, otherwise you will definitely ask her for money.”
This seemed like something an old lady would do. No wonder she didn't hear anything about it. Although she had long suspected that the old lady had a lot of money, she didn't expect it to be so much! Two hundred taels, they may not be able to save so much money even if they save for ten years.
Suddenly, she thought of something again, and her face turned ugly, "She has so much money in her hand that even the doctor who showed you just now was not willing to give out a penny. The old lady is so cruel! Zhuzi, you saw it, your grandma treats you That’s not good at all. Don’t be filial to her in the future!”
After saying that, she thought to herself, "Then we can't separate our families. The old lady's two hundred taels have not been passed through the public and are not counted as the money from the father-in-law. If she bites her to death and refuses to admit it, we will take it from her too." No way, so we can’t split up, just stay here and let her support your studies! Don’t buy other rooms at a discount.”
At this time, Yan Qing said again, "Mom, what I want to say is, the kind of radish that Fu Bao was looking for is called ginseng. I also found one today..."
"What!" Miao Guihua screamed again, but this time she didn't need Yan Qing to remind her. She quickly opened the door to see if there was anyone outside, and then lowered her voice and asked him, "Zhuzhu, are you serious? You also found a Where is the ginseng? Show me!”
Yan Qing pretended to be proud, "I was afraid that if I took it home and let grandma see it, we would lose our share, so I hid it. Mom, wait a moment, I'll get it now."
"Oh, my son is very clever. I'll let your father do that. Come on, Mom will go get it with you."
"Wouldn't it attract attention if we go together? Mom, wait in the room. I'll be back soon."
After Yan Qing finished speaking, he ran away quickly. Miao Guihua wanted to catch up, but when she thought what her son said made sense, she had no choice but to hold back her thoughts and wait anxiously in the room.
Soon, Yan Qing ran back again, carrying a bulging thing in his arms.
When I took it out and took a look, it turned out to be a ginseng tree. Judging from the age, it must be a hundred years younger.
Miao Guihua was so happy that she quickly wrapped the ginseng, "Hurry, hurry, hide it, don't be seen. When your father comes back, we will secretly take it and sell it."
She put it in the cupboard for a while, put it under the pillow for a while, and stuffed it in her clothes for a while. She felt unsafe wherever she put it. Finally, he freed up a wedding box, put the ginseng in it, and locked it up.
After finishing all this work, she pulled Yan Qing over and looked him up and down, with a smile on her face. "My dear son, you are awesome! They say Fu Bao is blessed. Look at me." My son is not bad at all, and he is also smart and knows how to be close to his parents! He is not like Fu Bao who foolishly gives everything to his grandma."
This is wrong. Fu Bao is not stupid at all. On the contrary, she is very smart and knows how to please the head of the family. Moreover, she got more than what appeared on the surface, and she took a lot of it to her own little home.
"Mom, can we eat eggs every day if we sell ginseng?"
"Eat! Eat every day! Mom wants you and Si Ya to eat an egg every day just like Fubao!" Miao Guihua agreed generously. If this ginseng tree is sold, it will cost at least a hundred taels of silver. This is all the credit of the son. Eating an egg is nothing!
"But, what if I get discovered? She will definitely scold me for stealing eggs."
In one sentence, Miao Guihua was surprised and poured a basin of cold water on her, making her regain her senses. Yes, this money must not be spent openly, otherwise it will have to be turned over to the government. Moreover, their family only eats one-pot meals, and they don’t even have the opportunity to boil eggs secretly. The possibility of having a teething ceremony in private without being discovered is too low.
Seeing Miao Guihua deep in thought, Yan Qing said no more. Too much is not enough, his behavior today was a bit out of line, let his mother think about the rest.
With her character, the good things that go into her stomach will not be let out no matter what. She can eat anything but cannot suffer any disadvantages.
In the end, it is estimated that there is no other way but to separate the family.
That's why he took a ginseng tree out of the space, not only to improve his family's life, but also to prompt his mother to make up her mind to separate the family.
But it can only be done this once, it can only be a temporary relief, and he will have to rely on his efforts in the future.
In the evening, the people from the Song family who went to work in the fields came back.
The four brothers of the Song family and Song Dashan seemed to be carved from the same mold. Due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, they all have dark skin, thin bodies, and their appearance is not good-looking. The only advantage is that the Song family are relatively tall.
Although the aunts have different looks, they all have the same faces of weathered workers.
The first thing Song Dashan did when he came back was to pick up Fu Bao, with a smile on his face, "Grandpa's little Fu Bao, please let grandpa hug him."
"Grandpa, are you tired? Fu Bao will pour you some tea."
Fu Bao's milky voice was so cute that it made Song Dashan laugh even more.
"Oh, little Fu Bao is still considerate. Grandpa's love for you is not in vain."
Everyone else echoed this, even praising little Fubao for being so sensible and considerate.
Only Song Chi, Yan Qing's father in this life, didn't like Fubao at all and shouted, "Is the meal ready? Why haven't you started eating yet? I'm starving to death!"
Mrs. Song Li was very angry after eating at Miao Guihua's place this afternoon. When she heard him yelling, she became even more angry, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! Are you a starving ghost? You really deserve it." It’s a father and a son with the same virtue!”
Song Chi leaned over with a playful smile, "Mom, who made you angry? Tell your son and he will take it out on you."
It's not without reason that Song Chi has been favored since childhood, not only because he is the youngest child, but also because he is sweet-tongued and can coax people. In the past, he could always make the old lady happy, but in recent years, the old lady's favorite person has changed, so she is immune to his sweet words and no longer accepts his tricks.
With a long face, she glared at him, "Who else could it be? Or your good wife! With her wings stiffened, she dared to yell at me and roll around on the ground, making the whole village laugh. Let’s see a joke. My mother gave birth to your son for nothing. If you marry a daughter-in-law and forget her, let her make me angry!”
Song Chi chuckled and said, "How could that be? Zhuzi's mother is so filial to you. What good things can she bring to you first? Even her own mother can't compare to you, so how can she bear to make you angry?"
Song Li was so angry that she pushed him away and raised her voice, "Then it's because I wronged her!"
Miao Guihua was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard this, she couldn't help it. She came out of the kitchen and said, "Mom, please don't spit on me. Can you blame me for what happened this afternoon? There was such a big hole on Zhuzi's head. His face was wet. I came to you to get money to take him to see a doctor, but you didn't give me money. You even regretted not letting Zhu Zhu go to study. It happened that everyone was back and asked them to comment. Do you blame me for this? "
"Then why didn't you talk about Zhuzi robbing Fubao's eggs? How old is he? He's so greedy for robbing Fubao's eggs. What can he do if he goes to school? It's better not to waste this money."
The family members were all back, and the old lady felt that her other sons and daughters-in-law would definitely be on her side, so she brought up this issue again.
"Is grabbing eggs the same thing as studying? It was clearly agreed before that each family has one quota, so why won't my Zhuzi be allowed to go now?" Miao Guihua pinched her waist and retorted without showing any signs of weakness.
"Do you make the decision in this family or do I? Although I mentioned that there is one quota for one room per room, who would have thought that studying costs so much. It is already difficult to support one Yan Chang. How can we afford two more? They are all given away. Go study and drink the northwest wind as a family?"
Miao Guihua sneered, "Don't think I don't know. The second brother took Yan Wen to see the wife a few days ago! Let's not talk about the third brother's son without a son. Their second brother's son can go to school, so why should I My son can only farm at home and work as a cow or horse to support them? Just give Fu Bao an egg every other day, even if he doesn’t have my son’s share. You can’t settle a bowl of water for such a big thing as studying. What else does this family have? Our way of survival? Let’s just separate and live our own lives!”
