Zhang Xiu was still talking there, Tang Chunming didn't know if he heard it, turned over and climbed to the top of the kang to open the box and found a camphorwood box at the bottom.
"Brother Ming, what are you looking for?" Zhang Xiu was startled when she saw Tang Chunming's action, and quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand.
"It's nothing, I'm looking for this." Tang Chunming turned around and showed Zhang Xiu the box in his hand. Zhang Xiu was always worried about his stomach because he didn't know whether his movements were serious or not. Sit back on the kang and open the box, only a hollowed-out silver hairpin and a dragon and phoenix silver bracelet are left inside, these are the last remaining dowry jewelry of the original body, Tang Chunming originally planned to keep the two pieces until the end All the jewelry left for Lin Ge'er as a dowry to support the appearance, otherwise it would be shameless and not taken seriously if she married into her husband's house.
Really think long enough.
"Brother Ming, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiu hurriedly looked out worriedly. If the old man from the Zhao family knew that Brother Ming had hidden two pieces of jewelry in his hand, what would happen? Come.
Tang Chunming didn't care, he just pushed the box to Zhang Xiu's hand and said, "Brother Axiu, if it wasn't for this physical reason, I would rather go there by myself, now I can only ask you to help me find a place to pawn it, I know Yes, you helped me pay for the consultation fee and medicine at Hu Langzhong yesterday, and the family also needs money.” He didn’t feel reluctant, how can a living person be suffocated by a dead thing
Originally, Zhang Xiu wanted to persuade him that he was not in a hurry to advance the money, but when he thought about the situation in Brother Ming's family, he had to swallow the words. How could he not know the situation in this family? I'm afraid my brother's hand is empty, but there is nothing out of the Zhao family. Instead, he took a lot of meat and chickens in the yard during the funeral, and now he is healthy again, and he needs to be well Keeping it up, if this jewelry is not appropriate, can I still count on the help of the old Zhao family
"That's all, it's a pity that I let my head take a trip." The last dowry has also been taken out, so there is nothing left, but this is good, so that the old man will not stare at him every day.
"It's nothing to be sorry about." Tang Chunming really felt that way, what kind of jewelry does a big man wear.
Zhang Xiu sighed and took it away. Their family is not rich, and they can only help for a while. They have to find a way to live on. So what I didn't want to say at first, Zhang Xiu also brought it up now: "Brother Ming, what are your plans for the future?"
It will be sowing in the spring, but two acres of paddy fields and five acres of mountain land, even if Brother Ming is not pregnant, he still can’t finish it. I have to say that Zhao Dahu was a good farmer before, and there is basically no need for Brother Ming to worry about the things in the field. Brother Ming was at home taking care of the vegetable garden at the back and feeding the chickens in the yard. He raised a pig before, but it was used up during the funeral a year ago.
Tang Chunming curled his lips, glanced at the direction of the Zhao family compound, and said, "First find a way to clear up the relationship with the Zhao family, otherwise I will not be able to think of many ways to live." It is precisely because he is a rural He grew up here, and from the memory of the original body, he knew who the young and old of the Zhao family were, so his first thing was not to find a way to make money and get rich, but to cut off the relationship with the Zhao family. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would sell his son while he was not paying attention.
Although Zhao Dahu was separated by the Zhao family, but now that Zhao Dahu is dead, as the son-in-law of the Zhao family, his household registration still has to return to the Zhao family, and he has no personal autonomy, so Mrs. Zhao can call the shots. He remarried. Of course, if the mother's family can be relied on, Zhao Laomo would not dare to do so, but no one in Pingshan Village knows that Tang Chunming's mother's family only has a stepmother and a half-brother left. Eleven years old, what can a young man of this age do? Can you still help him come to the house to quarrel with the Zhao family
Thinking of this, Tang Chunming felt awkward, he's my brother! What's your status? That's the woman who gave birth! Although the status of this brother is higher than that of women in ancient China, after all, it is the man who is the master of the house, that is, the man here, who is the one who supports the lintel.
Tang Chunming is really unwilling to fall to this point, he is a man of seven feet!
Zhang Xiu thought the same, he also didn't believe that Brother Ming's pregnancy could make him stop those thoughts, wouldn't Brother Ming's life in the future be restless and restless? Even his own son can be so ruthless, Zhang Xiu can't believe that the family will show kindness to Brother Ming.
He is also confused, even if he has money in his hands, he may not be able to keep it. He even has the idea of this house. Didn't he just make a big noise yesterday saying that this is the Zhao family's house and the Zhao family's house? I want to drive Brother Ming out. Seeing that the third son of the Zhao family is about to say goodbye, could it be that he has already set his sights on the house of Dahu's family
"What should I do?" Although Zhang Xiu is a straightforward person, he is a brother after all. Limited by his status and vision, he can't think of any way to break up the relationship with the Zhao family, unless he remarries, but the candidate cannot It was the man chosen by the old man, but which man would be willing to marry a brother with a belly and a baby? In his opinion, little brother Lin must never be left to the Zhao family.
"Don't worry Brother Axiu. I already have an idea. I plan to deal with it when I get better. This matter can't be dragged on any longer. I don't worry about Brother Lin." Tang Chunming is not the original body who is timid. Well, he has his own way of controlling old mother Zhao. As the saying goes, if you are bad, you are afraid of being violent, and if you are violent, you are afraid of death. He must have a good fight with the whole family of Zhao family.
Tang Chunming suddenly became excited, fighting, he likes it the most, although he is carefree, but the status of brother still makes him feel aggrieved. Tang Chunming always habitually ignored the fact that he was pregnant with another child.
Seeing that Tang Chunming's eyes suddenly glowed and his cheeks flushed, Zhang Xiu was taken aback. She stretched out her hand to probe his forehead, and when she found that there was no fever, she gave him a cold look: "What are you doing? As you said, no matter what plan you have Take care of your body first, I brought some eggs and white flour over in the morning, and I will make egg noodle pancakes for you at noon." Now there are only two old hens left in the yard.
"Thank you Brother Axiu." Tang Chunming laughed, and did not refuse Zhang Xiu's help, but just kept this love in his heart and waited for a chance to repay it.
"What do you say, no one has a difficult time."
&&&
The eldest son and Ermao help to look after the son, Zhang Xiu helps with housework, and Zhang Xiu is the man who chops firewood and fetches water. Tang Chunming only needs to lie on the kang to rest and try to adapt to his current status.
Changing to the original body, maybe I will embroider some purses at this time and ask Zhang Xiu to sell them for money when I go to the market. This is the most common way for my brother to earn money, not to mention that Tang Chunming's original body embroidery is very good. However, the current Tang Chunming panicked when he saw the shiny embroidery needles, and he refused to touch the old needlework even if he was killed.
So Tang Chunming slept during the day, and slipped into the space to get busy at night when Lin Geer was asleep and no one was around. With the help of the spring water in the space, Tang Chunming's recovery speed would surprise Hu Langzhong. But even so, he didn't dare to do too much work, so he sorted out a piece of land in the space to grow some home-cooked vegetables and wheat. In the past two days, the remaining leaves on those fruit trees began to fall again, but Tang Chunming was not worried, because he saw that new buds began to burst out on the fruit trees again, and it only took a while for them to bloom and bear fruit again.
As for the pond, all the original fish and shrimps are gone, and even the aquatic plants are dead, so now we can only let it go, and wait for the organic to find some fish and shrimps to keep in it.
When he was awake during the day, he would sometimes use his mental power to operate the space, but this was more tiring than physical labor, so his face was still as pale as before, and Zhang Xiu still decocted medicine for him as usual He didn't let him get involved in the housework, and Lin Geer was also very sensible and didn't let him worry.
On the third day, that is, the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, an unexpected guest came to Tang Chunming's house.
Speaking of which, this guest has a very close relationship with Tang Chunming, he is his half-brother, surnamed Tang Chunrong.
"Brother..." Tang Chunrong looked up at Tang Chunming and lowered his head again, looking embarrassed, but Tang Chunming saw the worry and sadness on his face at a glance, thinking that this younger brother is not bad, although he has a very bad relationship with his stepmother. Tang's father is actually responsible for a large part of the lack of harmony, but it is undeniable that Tang Chunming's relationship with his younger brother is not bad. He took care of his younger brother before he got married, but his stepmother was strong and his younger brother was young. I couldn't say anything. Tang Chunming never saw this younger brother again because his stepmother blocked him after he got married.
Coming from the same village, Zhang Xiu knew the situation of Tang Chunming's mother's family very well. He hoped that Tang Chunming would have a good relationship with his younger brother. Rong came in with a bowl of water, and took out his two sons and brother Lin who had come in to watch the fun together. Before leaving, he gave Tang Chunming a look and asked him to talk to his younger brother.
People were gone all of a sudden, Tang Chunrong was even more uncomfortable, and he had the courage to rush over but didn't know what to say.
Tang Chunming looked at the boy in front of him. He was eleven years old, and he was just a primary school student. He was wearing a robe that was probably new, and a square scarf on his head. Well, you must know that Zhao Dahu died and asked someone to report the funeral, and the stepmother just asked someone to bring things over, but the person didn't come, and the original owner got married and the old father died and never went back.
This is also one of the reasons why the Zhao family dared to force Brother Ming to remarry.
Tang Chunming couldn't help laughing out loud, Tang Chunrong lowered his head even lower.
"A Rong, come and sit on the kang." Without Zhang Xiu's reminder, Tang Chunming was determined to get along well with this younger brother. This younger brother's nature is not bad, and it is impossible for him to live here without contacting anyone.
Tang Chunrong raised his head and took a quick look at Tang Chunming, making sure that he wasn't angry with him, then walked a few steps and sat on the edge of the kang, wringing his hands and saying, "Brother, I really don't know what's going on at my brother's house, and my mother also Didn't tell me, otherwise I..." As he said that, his eyes turned red. After my brother got married, my mother never mentioned my brother in front of him, and he was not allowed to mention it, and he was not allowed to come here, so when he heard what my brother said Unfortunately, the brother-in-law whom he had only met a few times was no longer there. He didn't know how sad his brother would be, so he sneaked out alone.
I came here to inquire about it, my brother's life is not good at all, the Zhao family is too deceitful, they actually want my brother to remarry a lame man in his forties during the hot filial piety period.
"It's okay," Tang Chunming comforted his younger brother, and he could see that his brother's feelings for him hadn't weakened, "The Zhao family won't succeed. Brother has already figured out a solution and is about to start to do it. When it succeeds, Zhao The family can’t handle me anymore.” Pushing the bowl filled with hot water towards my younger brother, seeing his blushing, I’m afraid he must have run all the way here.
Tang Chunrong took a sip carefully, and looked up at his brother expectantly: "Brother, can I stay and help you? Anyway, I am also a man, and my father said before that I will be my brother's support in the future."
Tang Chunming couldn't help being amused when he heard his young man's declaration, he patted his head and said happily, "Yes, you will be the man in charge in the future, but man, do you know when you come here? My mother won't Are you worried? Even a man will be scolded after returning home."
It seemed that they had returned to the situation when the two got along before the elder brother got married. Tang Chunrong gradually relaxed, but he felt bitter when he heard what the elder brother said, and called out in a drawn-out voice: "Elder brother—" He didn't take such a joke. "Brother, I won't go back, I can't let the Zhao family bully you like this." This time, I don't agree with what my mother did.
"Okay, I'll figure out a way, I'll send a message to my mother, you stay with me, but when you go back, you have to listen to my mother's words, go to school well, my mother depends on you just like my brother "If you want to have a good relationship with your younger brother, you can't overcome the stepmother's hurdle. Although it is difficult to do, it is worth trying just for this younger brother. In fact, the stepmother is not a bad person. Which stepmother just married in and saw her husband staring at him like a thief for fear that he would treat her ex-husband's brother harshly, but how can she get along with this stepson
Father is really a real father. Tang Chunming's biological mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to him, so she left the younger one behind. Tang Chunming's father, Tang Sheng, had a deep affection for the first husband, and for the brother he left behind. He is also very caring, he just wanted to grow up this brother, but later found that he couldn't do it, he was a scholar who was useless, and he was talking about his type, even if he studied, he would only be a child.
The first husband is a brother of a scholar's family, but he is capable. Tang Sheng didn't worry about it because of his internal and external arrangements. But when the husband left, he found that the crops in the field had decreased. Will tidy up and hire people, but find that the hired workers cut corners, and it is even more laborious for a man to raise a child alone, so Tang Sheng had to listen to the advice of others and marry a husband back. Also helped bring my brother.
Worried that his elder brother would be treated harshly, the elder brother whom Tang Sheng remarried took a lot of care to choose, and he picked a elder brother who was poor inside and outside the family and came back. I have to say that Tang Sheng has a good vision in finding a husband. The two husbands before and after are capable, but the latter husband is not as good as the previous one in terms of family status and appearance. The relationship between husband and wife is naturally not harmonious.
Tang Chunming didn't remember whether the stepmother made any effort to improve the relationship with her husband and stepson a few years before she married in, but after Tang Chunrong was born, the stepmother was really cold-hearted and treated Tang Chunming as if she had nothing to do. He didn't ask any questions, but in Tang Chunming's impression, his stepmother didn't treat him harshly except for being cold and violent, so he really can't be regarded as a bad person.
But because the stepmother had to be busy, Tang Chunming took care of Xiao Chunrong more after she was born, so the relationship between the two brothers is better than that of the elders.
