"It's okay, patriarch, the two of them just came here to see you." Mrs. Xu's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, stepped forward to interrupt Xu's mother and said hello to the patriarch with a smile.

Seeing Wang's busy covering up his mouth, Jian Yi smiled sarcastically: "Yes, fifth uncle, my mother and I came here today to share the good news with you.

Didn't our Xiao Sheng go to Mr. Li's house a few days ago? I didn't expect Xiao Sheng to be very smart.

No, after only a few days of school, my husband told my father that Xiao Sheng is a smart kid. If he continues to study as hard as he is now, he will be able to pass the exam in two years at most. By then, there will be more children in the clan.

A promising scholar."

The patriarch was overjoyed when he heard what Jian Yi said, and quickly asked Jian Yi and Xu's mother to come into the room to talk, wanting to ask for more details.

Seeing that the patriarch and Jian Yi were leaving, Mrs. Wang hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu.

"Fifth Uncle, I came here to talk to you about what I saw.

Tell me, what's going on with the second-fang family? Is it because the old man and I are getting old? Do you think of us? It's such a big deal for Xiao Sheng to go to school, but no one from them came to discuss it with us.

As a result, we only found out about this today.”

The old lady has been in charge of the house her whole life, and she cannot tolerate her children and grandchildren doing things that go against her will. Seeing the second house and his family doing such a big thing without saying a word, I feel very sick.

When Mrs. Xu heard what Mrs. Xu said, her brows furrowed tightly.

Although she is usually quite lively and cheerful, when faced with her mother-in-law who doesn't like her, she is always a little unsure and at a loss for words.

But Jian Jian didn't have this problem at all, "Nai, you misunderstood, we originally planned to tell you, isn't this because there are too many things about Xiao Sheng and the field during this period?

Not only do we have to take care of Xiao Sheng's affairs, but in addition to the two acres of low-grade fields allocated to our second family and our family, dad also has to help the uncle take care of the five acres of paddy fields. We are busy from dawn to dusk every day.

Did you just forget about it because you were busy?”

Jian Jian did not tell the truth that it was because he was afraid that the old lady would take the money away, but instead brought up how shameless Dafang and his family were.

It was clear that the family had been separated, and the second house was only allocated two acres of low-grade land, but he still had to help the big house take care of the land for free. He was busy every day, and the money he finally saved was still being exploited.

After Jian Yi said this, everyone who came with Dafang and his family to watch the fun nodded in agreement.

The patriarch has also heard about these things about the Xu family, "Yes, Mrs. Wang, you can't blame Xu He and others for this matter. Isn't life too difficult?"

Seeing that the patriarch wanted to help the second wife, Mrs. Xu immediately gave up.

"Patriarch, how can you tell that their life is difficult? Look at the rosy faces of their mother and son. Besides, if it is really difficult, where does the money for Sheng Wazi's education come from?"

Hearing what Mrs. Xu said, everyone was also very curious. After all, everyone was digging in the soil and could not see each other without looking up every day. Regarding the sesame seeds and rotten millet in the two rooms of the Xu family, it was not clear, but one

Probably everyone still knows.

Xu He, the second eldest son of the Xu family, has not been liked by Mrs. Xu since he was a child. After the separation of the family, he was often sucked by the eldest brother. According to their calculations, the second eldest brother should not have any money saved after being tortured like this.

Suddenly, they had money to send their children to school. They were all wondering if Jian Jian, the little girl who often went to the mountains, had dug something good in the mountains.

The patriarch also looked at Jian Yi very curiously.

Looking at the looks from everyone, Jian Jian said in a somewhat pretentious manner: "Hey, speaking of which, my family has been too poor these years.

My parents leave early and come back late every day, busy working in the fields at home, and their backs are bent with fatigue. There is not much food left at home all year round, and Xiao Sheng and I often don't have enough to eat.

Seeing that Xiao Sheng is obviously over ten years old, but he does not look as tall as the seven or eight-year-old children of his uncles and uncles, and his body and bones are not good. My parents are worried that their hair has turned white, and I feel very sad.

I am young and not very strong. Although I want to help my parents reduce their burden, I am really unable to do so.

I have no choice. When I am free, I have been thinking about how to make more money? How to reduce the burden on my parents?

Then I thought about it and figured out the recipe for several pastries. I made them at home and they tasted pretty good. Then we took them to a pastry shop in town and exchanged some money for them."

Jian Yi's words made the eyes of the villagers who came to watch the excitement turn red, and the more sensitive ones wanted to come up and hug Jian Yi directly to comfort her.

Xu's mother, who was standing next to Jian Yi, was even more distressed and hugged Jian Yi "woo woo" and began to cry.

Hearing that my wife and sister-in-law were causing trouble for my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xu's father was so anxious that he ran over to support his wife and children. When he heard this, his eyes were red with tears in his eyes.

"Kid, you did a great job."

The patriarch was very emotional when he saw this scene, and at the same time he was also a little bored with his eldest brother and the others.

However, everything did not seem to move the Dafang family. When Mrs. Xu heard that she had made money selling simple pastry recipes, she hurriedly asked: "How much money did you make? How much do you still have now?"

You prodigal sons spend all your money as soon as you get it. You really don't know how to live, and you spend money lavishly.

Let's do this, your father and I will work harder, you can take out the remaining money, and I will help you manage the money to prevent you from causing trouble."

Mrs. Xu stared at Xu's father with burning eyes, hoping that Xu's father would agree quickly.

But just after hearing his daughter's concern for him and hearing that his daughter spent all day thinking about how to make money and how to lighten his burden at a young age, he felt like a soft mess.

He was determined to meet Mrs. Xu's request, not wanting to disappoint his wife and children again and make them suffer.

"Mom, some money was earned by Xiaojing's hard work. I, I can't ask her to make the decision." After saying that, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Mrs. Xu again.

Jian Jian was very happy. The somewhat foolish and filial Mr. Baozi finally had the courage to show his strength. He must reward him well when he gets home later.

"Nai, thank you very much for your kindness, but all the money I got from selling my son was used to buy textbooks and pens for Xiao Sheng. Now to be honest, I don't have any money left."

Seeing Xu's father express his position, Jian Yi didn't act as easy to talk as before, and replied in a slightly harsh tone.

"You, you..." Mrs. Xu was so angry at the father and daughter that she pointed at Jian Yi and kept shaking her hand.

"What do you mean? What do you mean the money has been spent. How is that possible?

You all look rosy after eating, do you look like you have no money in your pocket?

I don't believe you didn't leave some money for urgent needs. You must have made money and didn't want to care about me, an old woman, so you didn't even tell me when you made money.

And second brother, what do you mean? Xiaojing earned the money, so he can’t give it to me?

Xiaojing is your daughter, so the money she earns is your money, isn’t it? Or are you saying that you can’t even watch the movies of a girl like your daughter? "

Seeing that Xu's father was losing his temper after being criticized by Mrs. Xu, Jian Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mistress, don't blame my dad. We did leave a few small coins, but didn't you just say that?

This money is reserved for emergencies, so of course you should keep it.

And grandma, everyone in the whole village doesn’t know that dad is the most filial to you and me. He will send you any good things. He also listens to your instructions and gives it to you even if he has some surplus food. Even if the family is separated, dad will be happy all year round.

I will still listen to you and help you take care of the fields diligently. If you need anything, just say Daddy and he will immediately come to help.

Dad is so filial to you and me, aren't you slandering and hurting dad by saying this?"

"Yes, yes." All the villagers agreed.

It is obvious to all how filial Xu Lao Er is to his mother. He is much better than Xu Lao Er, who has been studying for decades and is still just a child.
