Chapter 21 Persuasion

The children were full and had empty cars, so they quickly returned to Sanshiliyingzi. It was almost evening when the silence of the silhouette, and smoke began to rise from the chimneys of some people.

Goro and Lian Zhier pushed the car into the door and met Lian Siro and Lian Liuro.

"What are you doing? You pushed the cart?" Lian Silang stopped the cart and stared at Goro and asked.

"We're going to the field." Lian Wuro replied, "I'm here, sister, take Man'er and Xiaoqi back to the house first."

Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi got out of the car and carried the basket with Lian Man'er to the west wing. Lian Silang let the cart drive and came to stop Lian Man'er. He tilted his head and looked at the basket that Lian Man'er was carrying. Seeing that it was covered with grass, he wanted to reach into the basket to touch it.

Lian Man'er hurriedly turned around and avoided Lian Silang's hand.

"Silang, what are you doing?" Lian Zhi'er stepped forward to separate Silang and Lian Man'er.

Lian Silang and Lian Zhier are the same age as Lian Zhier, only two months younger than Lian Zhier, but their body is much taller than Lian Zhier.

"Did you go to take out the bird eggs today?" Lian Silang asked, ignoring Lian Zhi'er's call her sister.

When Lian Man'er and the others were roasting bird eggs on the ground, some children who were digging wild vegetables passed by from a distance, which somehow came to Lian Silang's ears.

"Where did you pay for it? Do you still have it? Don't eat alone?" Lian Silang was about to push Lian Zhi'er away and grab Lian Man'er's basket.

"You are also catching fish and raising bird eggs, why don't you give it to me?" Xiaoqi said with his head raised.

At this time, Goro had already put the cart on and walked over.

"Fourth brother, even if there are bird eggs, it will be gone long ago." Lian Wulang stood in front of Lian Zhi'er again and said to Lian Silang, "I lost two melons from my aunt's house. I'm looking for someone to steal them."

Lian Siro changed his face.

"You boy dares to talk nonsense, I will beat you up." Lian Silang raised his fist and threatened.

"If you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you." Even Goro said without blinking.

Lian Silang was bored. Seeing Goro, Lian Zhier, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi close together, they were not afraid of his appearance, so they had to take Lian Liulang away in disappointment.

Although Lian Wulang is honest, gentle and quite manly, Lian Man'er thought to himself.

Several children entered the west wing one after another, and Goro and Xiaoqi closed the door behind.

"I'm back, why have I been there for half a day?" Zhang was patching Xiaoqi's jacket. When he saw several children coming back, he stopped sewing. "Are Man'er tired? Go on the kang and rest...why are you doing the door closed?"

"Mom, we're going to the town." Lian Man'er said.

"Didn't you go to the field? Why did you run so far?"

"Mom, I'll give you this. Ya Yanqing." Lian Man'er took out the four meat buns from the basket and handed them to Zhang.

"This is……"

"Chen Ji's meat buns, meatball stuffed with meatballs." Xiao Qi leaned against Zhang and grinned.

Chen Ji's white bread with meatball stuffing costs two cents per person. These children don't have a penny in their hands. How did they get the buns or four?

"Tell me honestly, how did this bun come about..." Zhang was a little nervous. She would rather her children be poor than go on the evil path.

"We bought it." Lian Zhier said, "using the money we earned ourselves."

"You, how can you make money? Tell me the truth, no matter what happens, I will deal with it." Zhang's hand holding the bun was trembling slightly.

Lian Man'er briefly talked to Zhang about how to make money by selling hardships.

"Can a miserable girl sell money?" Zhang was a little unbelievable.

"If you don't believe me, go to the town another day. You ask Brother Youheng, or you can ask Manager Wang of Jishengtang." Lian Man'er said.

When Zhang heard Lian Man'er say this, he had to believe it.

"Man'er, how much money did you make?" Zhang asked.

"Mom, don't worry about this." Lian Man'er said. She could tell Zhang about the matter, but she didn't plan to tell Zhang about how much money she made. The money was hers, and she would not give it to Zhou, nor would she give it to Zhang. "Mom, this matter must be kept confidential. We will only tell you, but no one can tell it. This is what Brother Youheng said. He was afraid that others would know about it, and he also wanted to take the girl to suffer."

"Yes, mom, you must keep it a secret. You can't tell me, or we won't make money next time." Lian Zhier begged Zhang, she was more honest and told the truth.

"...We shouldn't have collected money from Doctor Wang Xiao," Zhang said, "If you buy this bun, you can buy it. You can eat it yourself."

A few children went to the mountains to pick the bitter girl with the sun, and sent it to the town from afar. After finally making some money, she bought a few buns to make a tooth sacrifice. She couldn't say anything about this mother.

"Mom, we have all eaten it, this is for you." Lian Zhier said.

When Zhang heard that the bun was for her, he hesitated.

"This bun cannot be eaten by my mother, your grandparents and grandma haven't eaten it yet..."

Lian Man'er sighed, indeed, she was worried about what she would come.

"Mom, we saw our uncle and second uncle in the town." Lian Man'er changed the topic.

"Yes, my uncle and second uncle came out of the largest restaurant in the town, and their faces turned red when they drank. What temple... street?" Xiaoqi said, "Brother said that one is very expensive."

"Miaohou Street?" Zhang was shocked.

"Yes, it's Miaohou Street." Xiaoqi nodded.

Zhang's face changed suddenly, "Did you see your father? By the way, when did you see your uncle and second uncle going to that... street?"

"It's about an hour ago," Lian Man'er said, "Dad is not with them, and I don't know where he went."

Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your father has come back long ago and you have gone to the field with your grandfather."

"Mom, I'm giving this bun to my grandparents. I can't hide the troubled girl's affairs, which will delay Brother Youheng's affairs." Lian Man'er said slowly, "Mom, this is the hard money we earn..."

Zhang's heart was filled with joy. If she and Lian Shouxin made money, they would naturally have to hand it over to Zhou. But the children were so young that they had no obligation to make money to support their families. If they sent the buns to the house, they would inevitably have to say that they had made money. Then Zhou would definitely have to take the money over and would not leave a single penny for the children.

In the room, there are also He who eats solo from time to time. Lian Shouren and Lian Shouxin go out with fish and meat. She doesn't know, but she never cares about it. However, she doesn't even want to give the children an egg, and she still has to search out the money they have worked hard to earn?

"I won't tell your breasts about this, and I won't tell anyone." Zhang said, "Mom has no money to give you. Just keep the money you earn by yourself, don't let people see it. If you want to eat, buy some food. But you should eat this bun....." As her daughter-in-law, she can't eat it in her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Even if other sister-in-law do it, she can't.

"Mom, just eat it. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it..." Lian Zhier looked at Zhang's belly.

Lian Man'er didn't pay attention to Lian Zhi'er talking to Zhang. She guessed the reason why Zhang didn't eat buns.

"Mom, if we split up in the future, we will make money to buy food, and we will give it to our grandparents and grandma with ease." Lian Man'er said.

"I'm living well, how can I split up?" Zhang said.

Lian Man'er was speechless. She said that she was living a good life like this.

"Mom, you eat buns." Xiaoqi held Zhang's hand and asked her to eat buns.

"Mom, just eat it. Next time I make money, we will buy it for my grandparents and grandma." Lian Man'er said.

When Zhang heard Lian Man'er say this, he was unwilling to let down the wishes of the children, so he took a bun and two more for Lian Man'er, and asked them to eat them.

"There is another one, leave it to your father." Zhang said.

Of course, Lian Man'er refused to answer.

"Mom, we are all full of food." Several children laughed.

He gave in a lot of pressure, and finally there was a bun. The four children took a bite and Zhang was willing to eat it. After eating two of them, Zhang refused to eat it anymore. He wrapped it in oil paper and put it away, leaving it for Lian Shouxin to eat.

In any case, Zhang promised to keep it secret and ate buns, which was a small improvement, Lian Man'er clenched her fists.

"Mom, we also bought Xiangpanzi and soap." Lian Zhier handed the basket to Zhang.

Zhang looked at the beautiful fragrant tint box, which exuded snow-white jasmine fragrance and light yellow soap. He felt mixed feelings. The poor children were already in their homes, and a few children could make money at a young age.

"Girl, Sister Huaer, and the second uncle all have this. Can't we buy it by ourselves?" Lian Man'er said hurriedly because she was afraid that Zhang would say something.

Zhang sighed. She usually uses wood ash herself, and the children only use rice washing water. She is very incompetent. The children make money and buy things back. And there are things in other rooms. What else can she say?

"Don't let your breasts see it." Even so, Zhang still instructed.

"We will use it in the house from now on." Lian Zhier smiled and put away the things.

"Mom, I also bought candy." Xiaoqi took out a paper bag of candy to show Zhang, picked another one and stuffed it into Zhang's mouth, "Mom, eat it."

"Mom doesn't eat candy, please keep it and eat it slowly." Zhang said this, but Xiaoqi forced a piece of candy into his mouth.

The sugar is very sweet, the sweetest sugar she has ever eaten.

"This candy is so sweet." Zhang turned his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

When dinner was approaching, Mr. Lian and Lian Shouxin came back from the field. A servant came from the town to deliver the letter, saying that Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi had nothing to do, so they lived in the town today and were not back.

Even the old man and Zhou didn't say anything, but Gu frowned.

Lian Man'er secretly curled her lips and was seen by Zhang. Zhang hurriedly called several children aside.

"Don't tell me about your uncle and second uncle in the town." Zhang said, "That street is not a good place, don't mention it."

After all the children agreed, Zhang felt relieved.

The dinner at Lian’s family was still millet rice, millet flour, and eggplant stewed with potato cubes. Gu Shi, even Huaer and Lian Duoer only took a few bites and then got off the table.

After dinner, even Man'er's family of six returned to the west wing.

"His father, tell you something." Zhang was about to talk to Lian Shouxin when he heard Zhou's scolding coming from the yard.
