You can still go back to Li's house at noon. Zhou Chengkang usually doesn't come back at noon, and he just dealt with it casually on the mountain. In fact, since they got married, the two of them have been very busy, and they really haven't had a good rest.
Li Qinghe didn't go home either, so he pushed the door open and went in, and asked with a smile, "Wanwan, when did you come back?"
Zhao Wanwan smiled sweetly, and when she got closer, she found that her face was covered with makeup, which made her more delicate, "I just arrived, and I said I would invite you in the past, but I saw you passing by, sister, I wasn't there when you got married, right?" Stay!"
"It doesn't matter." Li Qinghe waved his hand, "Where's dad?"
"Growing vegetables in the backyard." Zhao Wanwan pointed to the back, and pulled Li Qinghe into the door, "Sister, let me tell you, the county is very prosperous, and there are many delicious and interesting things, especially the fabrics and jewelry, I can't even look at them. If there is silver, I must buy ten or eight of them."
"Your these are new! They look good." Li Qinghe said sincerely.
Zhao Wanwan smiled proudly, "My husband bought it for me."
"Very good." Li Qinghe suppressed the curiosity in his heart. In fact, he was curious about the source of the money. Earlier, the Hu family wanted the Li family to pay the bride price for money, so he asked casually, "Do you still do the work in the town? "
Zhao Wanwan smiled, "I'll go tomorrow."
Oh, it seems that there is not much money. If you really get rich, what kind of helper will you do
"Next year, I will go to the county seat." Zhao Wanwan was in high spirits, "Sister, come with me when the time comes."
"I'm not going." Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I'm too busy with work at home."
After entering the door for a long time, I didn't see anyone except Zhao Wanwan. Li Qinghe was curious and asked, "Is my brother-in-law back?"
"No, he found a new master in the county seat. That master has produced a lot of scholars under his name. Basically, every time the county exams are released, his students will win." Zhao Wanwan's eyes brightened, "This year, my husband is one year away. A little bit, next year will be designated."
"Congratulations." Li Qinghe turned and went out, intending to go to the backyard to see Li Fu, Zhao Wanwan followed behind her, "I bought some meat, I will stay for dinner later."
She thought Li Qinghe was going home, "Let me see dad."
In the backyard, Li Fu was sowing seeds. Seeing the two sisters coming over, his face softened, "You sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so you can have a good chat."
Li Qinghe took the seed in his hand, "I'll help you."
Zhao Wanwan was standing by the side of the road. Her clothes looked good, but they were not suitable for working. I just stood by the road and looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Sister, can you lend me some money?"
"I can't." Not only did Li Qinghe not ask the reason, but he refused without even raising his head.
Zhao Wanwan was surprised, "You don't even ask me what I use it for?"
"What else can I do?" Li Qinghe laughed, "You said that the county is prosperous and the cost is very high, and my brother-in-law lives there directly. This is not enough money." The seeds in the field in front of me were sown , Li Qinghe walked out of the field and asked with a smile, "Actually, I don't understand. They are all the same helpers. The wages in the county town must be much higher than those in the town. Why do you come back?"
She also noticed that Hu Yanxi bought Zhao Wanwan this outfit for the purpose of sending her back to help borrow money.
"There are some things you don't know." Zhao Wanwan waved her hand and lowered her voice. It's okay to be a scholar and be poor, but you can't do these things of serving others. Otherwise, let outsiders know that Yan Xi's wife is a dish washer, what will they think of Yan Xi? "
For this reason, Li Qinghe was speechless.
But if it all depends on the wages of Hu's mother and Zhao Wanwan, Hu Yanxi will definitely not be enough. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law work together for a month, which is not enough for him to pay for a meal. If you want her to say that her family background is not strong enough, she shouldn't stay in the county.
"Father, what do you think?" Seeing her silence, Zhao Wanwan turned to look at Li Fu who was digging in the ground.
say what
Didn't he just want to get Li Fu to agree, and then ask him for money.
To tell the truth, Li Qinghe felt uncomfortable, and said on the face, "Father's money is for the elderly." It's not for you to get flowers.
Hearing this, Li Fu nodded in agreement, and Zhao Wanwan frowned when she saw this, "Sister, it's fine if you don't help. Why do you even care about father's money?"
"Of course it's because he's my father." Li Qinghe refused to budge. Originally, Li Fu's savings were not much. If she got into trouble, he would have a minor illness and pain. Who would pay for the treatment
She never thought about asking Li Fu for money, but if someone wants to lend him money, she just doesn't know about it, and if she knows, she will definitely not agree. Of course, if Li Fu wanted to, she would not stop her.
But obviously, Li Fu didn't want to be honored by that talented son-in-law, he just wanted to marry his daughter off and live his own life.
"Then he is also my father." Zhao Wanwan was not polite. After going to the county town, she seemed to have become more courageous, and even dared to argue with Li Qinghe, "If it's an outsider, I won't talk to him yet."
Is it an honor to be co-authored by her to borrow money? It's the Mei family's way of thinking that those who can help are those who are close to them, and they will not be able to help if they want to in the future.
"I don't have much money." Li Fu said, "I spent five taels of money on your dowry. It's been more than half a year, and there were two weddings with the grain harvested last year. Your mother and I are almost out of grain. I will buy it from next month. You can’t even take away my money for buying food, can you?”
Zhao Wanwan looked embarrassed, "Father, I'm not... I just think that by now next year, everything will be fine."
This kind of mentality is not good, who said that next year will definitely win
Li Fu waved his hand, "You are in a hurry to come back, I haven't asked your uncle yet, are you back yet?"
Asking about Qian Laiwen, Zhao Wanwan's face turned pale, "Not yet, my uncle asked me to take a message. He wants to stay in the county like my husband, and also asked me to take a message to the Qian's family. Hurry up and send Shuxiu to him. The Qian family I haven’t gone there yet, I’ll talk about it later.”
Now is the time when there is no harvest, as Li Fu said, many families have run out of food and have to buy food to eat. None of these families have spare money.
Well, the meal was too much to eat, and people wanted to ask her to borrow money, but Li Qinghe couldn't, so the meal was too much to eat. So he left and went home, Li Fu didn't keep her and asked her to go back another day.
Li Qinghe returned home and cooked his own meals. Zhou Chengkang came back very early today, brought firewood, and got a pheasant.
"Don't go to town tomorrow, we will eat the pheasant ourselves." Zhou Chengkang said with a smile.
"Let's build a house earlier." Li Qinghe suggested. Otherwise, everyone knows that she sells fish for money, and they all want to borrow it.
If she has money, she can lend some to Zhao Wanwan, but she doesn't have enough money for herself. If she borrows money, she will have to continue living in this yard. She was stupid to wrong herself to accommodate others.
Besides, it is said that saving the emergency is not helping the poor. If Zhao Wanwan really needs it, such as taking money to save her life, she will specify to move some out, but they will return it after Hu Yanxi passes the exam. It is easy to say, and she can pass the exam next year, but How could it be so easy to pass the county test
When they went there, they still swore that Hu Yanxi would win. What was the result? In case of failing the exam in ten or eight years, and Hu's mother, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law earn not enough to spend, the debt will snowball and get bigger and bigger. Wouldn't the money be wasted
In fact, Li Qinghe felt a little sorry for not lending to Zhao Wanwan at all, it's good that the flowers are over.
The two had discussed about building a house before. Hearing this, Zhou Chengkang smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The next day, the two went to the wasteland. After going around, they confirmed the foundation. It was not far from the pond, which meant that the pond was outside the yard, the chicken pen was on the left, and there was wasteland behind.
After the foundation was confirmed, Zhou Chengkang and his two first opened a piece of wasteland to grow vegetables, and then he took people to the mountain to find suitable wood to make window lattices, door frames and roof ridges. It took a lot of money, and people started to build houses there. Brick is back.
By this time, many people in the village knew that the fourth son of the Zhou family was going to build a house.
The source of the money, needless to say, is known to be from selling fish years ago, and to be more straightforward, it is the dowry money of the daughter-in-law.
Many people were secretly envious, and some people said some acid words, how come the fourth child of the Zhou family looks like a married woman.
It is true to say that the silver belongs to others, and the foundation also belongs to others. Isn't it the same as being married
No matter what outsiders say, anyway, the raw materials for building houses in the wasteland are piling up more and more.
