Pumpkins, winter melons, and soybeans were packed in a big bag, and then a bag of Chinese cabbage was also filled.
Looking at the stuff in the bullock cart, Tie Kui laughed and said, "Second sister, it's also fortunate that you are recruiting son-in-law instead of marrying someone else's house. Otherwise, this big bag will be sent to your mother's family, and you won't be taken by your in-laws. People hate to die."
"These things are in the house, and they are not worth much." After speaking, Chun Ni said, "I don't know why some people like to live in the city so much. Like the eldest sister in the county seat, I need money to buy green onions." There are four taels of silver per month, and life is not well-off.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Sister, I'm also going to buy you a house in the county seat. In this way, you will have a place to live in the county seat."
Even if Tie Kui didn't say anything, Chun Ni was ready to send it to school when Fat Dun turned five years old. After reading the book, you can have a good future in the future.
Chun Ni said: "You save all your money by yourself and marry a daughter-in-law. There are me and your brother-in-law! Kuizi, if you buy the house without my consent, I won't want it." She has good days now. It was given by Tie Kui, so how could he be greedy for his money.
Tie Kui knows Chunni’s temperament, but he does what he says: "The house must be bought, but if I don’t buy it for you, I buy it for myself. If you don’t live, you can rent it out first. When Fat Dun goes to the county town to study, he will live in his own home. ."
Chunni refused: "You don't need to buy it. We will buy a house in the county seat when Fat Dun is studying." They have also saved a lot of money in the past two years, and it is fine to buy a smaller house.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "That's okay." It's actually better to be self-reliant and not dependent on him.
When I arrived at the door of Chunxiang’s house, I heard an old woman standing at the door swearing loudly.
Duan Dongzi saw the woman and said to Tie Kui: "This is the eldest brother-in-law's mother-in-law."
Needless to say, Tie Kui also knew who this old woman was. When Chunxiang got married, he sent him to the Shao's family, so naturally he also met with Shao's mother.
Tie Kui got off his horse at the door of Chunxiang's house, ignoring Shao Mu who was standing at the door and patted the door vigorously.
Mother Shao looked at Tie Kui with a fierce and evil spirit with a knife on her waist, thinking that someone from Shao Lizhou's offending government came to catch him, and ran away.
After Shao's mother ran away, Tie Kui stopped patting the door. Instead, he said to Duan Xiaodong, "Eldest sister and they are not at home. You wait here for me to go to the pharmacy to find older sister-in-law." In fact, he had guessed that Chunxiang was not there. Otherwise, with his elder sister's temperament, even if she hates Mother Shao, she will not stay behind closed doors.
Only when I arrived at the drugstore did I know that today is the grandson's birthday party of the drugstore doctor, and Shao Liqian and Chunxiang are taking their three children to a wedding.
Let Zhong Shantong go back and tell Duan Xiaodong that he himself went to the market to buy things. I went to the bookstore to buy a few enlightenment books, and then went to buy a few pieces of fabric.
When Zhong Shantong found him, Tie Kui's horse had several packages already on his horse.
Zhong Shan smiled and said, "My lord, I didn't know you like to buy things so much." In Tongcheng, Tie Kui often bought medicinal materials to make medicine for wounds. However, this wound medicine was not given for free, but sold.
Although it's just hard money, it can't hold up the large amount needed. Therefore, Tie Kui has also accumulated a lot of money in the past few years.
After buying things, Tie Kui asked Duan Dongzi to eat at the restaurant. After dinner, Tie Kui asked Zhong Shantong to bring his things back first, while he and Duan Dongzi went to the Shao's house.
Calculating the time, the two should also go home.
Only when Shao Liqiang and Chunxiang got home did they know that Tie Kui had come. Chunxiang complained a little: "I told you to go to the wedding wine alone. You want me to take the children."
Shao Lizhong was also helpless: "I don't know that Kui Di will come." If he knew that Tie Kui would come, he would also wait at home instead of going to a wedding drink.
The couple were talking when they heard a knock on the door. Hearing the familiar voice, Chunxiang hurried to open the door.
"Adi..." yelled, Chunxiang couldn't help her tears falling.
Seeing this, Tie Kui laughed and said: "Sister, I came to see you specially, but I made you cry. Next time, I won't dare to come."
Chunxiang wiped away tears hurriedly.
Shao Liqian said: "Brother-in-law, Kui Di, it's cold outside, hurry into the house to get warm."
There was a charcoal fire in the house, which was much warmer than outside. After sitting down, Chunxiang asked, "Adi, will you not leave when you come back this time?"
Tie Kui was a little sad when he heard this. Even if he was in his current position, his family still didn't want him to return to the barracks: "This time I'm back to visit relatives. I will be back in the army at most half a month."
Hearing this, the tears that were finally contained fell again. Chunxiang wiped her tears and choked up: "Adi, we have been thinking of you every day for the past few years, and we are looking forward to your return home."
This brother-in-law has a good future now, how could he be back. Shao Liqian hurriedly opened Chazi and said, "Chunxiang, go see if the water is boiling, and bring some hot water to brother-in-law and Kuizi."
Chunxiang nodded, opened the curtain and went out.
Shao Liquan smiled and said, "Your sister has such a worrying temperament, don't take it to your heart."
"I didn't take it to my heart. But eldest brother-in-law, you promised me that you would never bully my elder sister. I also trusted you to marry eldest sister to you. What happened? You disappointed me." said Tie Kui didn't look good when he said this.
Shao Liqiang's expression was a little stiff: "Kui Di, how do you start with this?" He asked himself, Chunxiang was not bad at all.
Tie Kui didn't say, he just kept his face calm.
Seeing Shao Liqiang looking at him, Duan Dongzi said, "Brother-in-law, my brother and I just came to see your mother swearing at the gate. The cursing is still very awful."
Tie Kui said: "If I guessed correctly, this is definitely not the first time. Big brother-in-law, this is what you said to not let anyone bully my sister?" This anyone, but not only Shao father and Shao mother, Also includes Shao Mechanics himself.
"Those foul language is unbearable. If it weren't because it was your mother, I would have cut it over."
Shao Li's face was green and purple.
Tie Kui said with a cold face: "If you can't protect my eldest sister, let her take the child back to her parents' house. We Tie's family, there is no shortage of food for the four of them, mother and son."
After speaking, Tie Kui got up and left.
Chunxiang poured the water, and as soon as she arrived in the yard, she saw Tie Kui coming out of it: "Kui Zi, why are you leaving?"
Tie Kui nodded and said, "It's getting late, and I won't be able to get home before dark. When that happens, Dad and Sister should be worried."
Chunxiang said, "Then you go back earlier, and I'll take them back with the dog eggs in two days."
After the couple entered the house, Chunxiang asked, "What's wrong? Are you upset with Kuizi?" Even if you are in a hurry, you can't leave without sitting on the heat, unless the husband says something unpleasant.
Shao Liqiang smiled bitterly: "When Kui Di came over, he happened to ran into my mother cursing at the door. He was angry with me about this and said that I made you wronged."
Chunxiang had had enough of Shao's mother, and said, "Msang Gong, even if I can bear it, a few children can't bear it." Since last year, Shao's mother yelled for Shao Lizhong to take care of her life. As for the previous agreement that Shao Mechanics is not required to provide for the elderly, Shao's mother denied it at all.
Shao mechanics is not a soft man, so naturally he is unwilling to pay for Shao's mother. At first it was just that they went home to make trouble. At the beginning of the year, after Shao Lizhou changed his house, Shao Mu came to the county town to make trouble. Shao Liqiang didn't let it go, he would come here once in a while.
The neighbors on the left and right know this. Some say that Shao's mother is unkind, and some say that Shao Liqian should support his parents as a child. Anyway, Chunxiang had a miserable year.
"I will take a day off the day after tomorrow, and I will send your mothers back to their parents' homes, and then back to Da Zhang Village." If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that his brother-in-law's temper will really turn his face.
Tie Kui arrived home with Duan Xiaodong, and Chunni complained when he entered the door: "I said, what do you buy so many things for? A net waste of money."
After finishing speaking, Chun Ni still angered Duan Xiaodong, saying that he should stop Tie Kui and shouldn't let him be so lavish.
Duan Xiaodong was stunned by the scolding.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Brother-in-law was waiting for the older sister-in-law at the door of the older sister's house. I bought the things on the street alone. After the purchase, I asked Ah Tong to send it back. Brother-in-law didn't even know about it."
Chun Ni said with a dark face: "You are still smiling, so many things cost two or thirty taels of silver. How can you save money with such a loose hand. In the future, what will you use to marry a wife?"
"I have all the money to marry a daughter-in-law!" I won't marry a daughter-in-law within three to five years, so why do you panic saving money
During the meal, Chunni knew that Shao's mother had gone to the county town to make trouble again. She couldn't help cursing at the moment: "The old godly woman, when the family was separated, she said that the eldest brother-in-law has no family property and will not support them in the future. As a result, now It’s not easy to live with the younger son, and she makes a fuss and asks her elder brother-in-law to support her. If not, she will go to the yamen to sue the elder brother-in-law for unfilial piety."
Tie Kui said, "I have already told Shao Li Li, if he doesn't solve the matter, let the elder sister go back to her natal house. When the matter is resolved, let the eldest sister go back."
Chunxiang hesitated: "The eldest sister-in-law is still very good to the eldest sister." Even if Shao's mother has no face and skin, she never scolded Shao Lizhong for being bad. Because Shao Liqiang was really too good to say to Chunxiang.
"The eldest sister makes the old bitch point her nose and curse every day, is that good too?" Even if Shao Liqian treats his eldest sister no matter how well, the eldest sister is frustrated. Moreover, they were accused of indiscriminately
Tiehu settled the matter in one fell swoop: "This matter is up to you Kuizi." He believed that his son would be able to resolve the matter.
Two days later, Chunxiang returned with the child. No one from the Tie Family brought up this matter, so he didn't have to say that it would upset Chun Xiang.
Tie Kui sent Shao Lizhong out of the village and said, "If the Shao family's problem is not resolved, let the older sister live with the parents. I don't have to go back and be angry every day."
Shao Liqiang didn't dare to refute.
Because he sent a message home in advance, when he arrived at Da Zhangshu, his father and eldest brother were both at home.
Sitting on a stool, Shao Liqian said: "The day before yesterday, the grandson of Dr. Li's grandson had a birthday party. Our family went to have a wedding drink. My mother knocked on the door and no one responded. She thought it was Chunxiang who deliberately didn't open the door, and she cursed at the door for a long time. It happened to me. My brother-in-law came back to visit us and saw her swearing at Chunxiang. My brother-in-law told me today that if I let Chunxiang be wronged again, let her stay in the Tie family with the dogs. The Tie family does not lack. Their mothers have a bite of food."
Shao's father put down the pipe and said, "How can my Shao family's children be raised by the Tie family." The Fang Tie family raises them and they become the Tie family's children.
Shao Liqian said: "Father, in the past five years, I have saved forty taels of silver with Chunxiang, and I have borrowed 20 taels of silver from my sister-in-law to exchange for the current house. Now I have to not only support the family, but also You have to save money to pay off your debts. Dad, I really can't support you and A-niang right now."
Father Shao said: "I don't need you to raise it. But your mother, she's living a really hard life now."
After Shao Liqian retired from his family and separated from his family, Shao's father was not at ease with his sister-in-law. Half of the money he earned goes to his eldest son, and half is saved by himself. I don’t have to wait until I’m old, and my daughter-in-law is not filial. Therefore, it is the safest to hold money in your hand.
Shao Liqian said: "Daddy, there is only the third child in my mother's heart. Unless I am willing to provide for the elderly, she will not be satisfied with what I do."
"What do you want?"
Shao Liqian said: "As long as the mother does not live with the third child and live alone, then I will give her 50 catties of grain and 200 yuan every month." In rural areas, you can breed chickens and raise your own vegetables. Fifty catties of grain and two hundred cents are enough to feed Shao's mother.
Brother Shao smiled bitterly: "Mother won't agree."
Shao Liqian said: "She doesn't agree, I won't pay a penny. I am struggling, and it makes no sense to use the money to support the three families."
Father Shao smoked, until the smoke in the pipe was washed, he said, "Your mother, let me do it."
The old couple talked in the room for a long time, and finally Shao's mother's eyes were red and swollen.
After coming out, Shao's father said to Big Brother Shao: "Go and call the youngest couple, I have something to say."
When Shao Lixing and Pangs both came over, Shao's father said the result of their negotiation: "Your mother and I will not live with you, we will live together." Although Shao's mother did a lot of excessive things, in the end, Husband and wife for so many years. Seeing that Shao's mother is not full of food now, and she is ill lying in bed with no one to care about, he can't bear it either.
Sister Shao disagreed: "Father, how can this be done? The separation said that you will follow us, and my mother will follow the third." Shao's father can not only make money by doing woodwork, but he can also go to the fields and farm. And he just immersed himself in doing things, never caring about nostalgia. In recent years, a lot of help has been given to Dafang.
Shao Lixing was eager, and immediately refuted Dasao Shao: "They say that they will come together less and more. Father and mother will have a better life when they are old." He was fed up with the noisiness at home and wished Shao long ago. Mother doesn't spend time with them.
Father Shao didn't even look at Shao Lixing, and said, "Your mother and I are too old to do heavy work. From now on, the three of you will give us four hundred catties of grain and one or two silver each year. If you are sick, see a doctor. The expenses of the three of you are shared equally."
Under Shao's father's decision, the matter was settled.
Tie Kui saw that Shao Liqiang had resolved the matter, and then asked him to pick Chunxiang back.
Chun Ni asked with some worry, "Kuizi, is this useful?" It felt useless.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "This is already very good. After all, that person is the eldest brother-in-law's mother-in-law, who has the gift of nurturing. It is impossible to leave it alone, it is impossible." Outsiders don't care whether you have a family property or not. Seeing that Shao's mother was too hard to eat or wear warmth, they would accuse Shao Lichen of being unfilial.
"I knew it, that day I should let my eldest sister marry him." This was completely angry, and Chunxiang's heart was on Shao Lizhong. Let her marry other people, and she will not live happily.
Tie Kui said, "If the eldest sister suffers such wrongs in the future, you will take the eldest sister back to live for a while."
Chun Ni nodded. n
