Second update, please pink.

"Ah?" Lian Shouxin opened his mouth. He had already expected that he had not left much of his wages, but he still didn't expect that he actually owed money. "Have you spent so much, I still owed money?"
"Dad, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, let's calculate it one by one." Lian Man'er asked Xiaoqi to take the abacus without waiting for Lian Shouxin to say anything.
A kang table was set up on the kang, and the whole family sat around the kang table. Lian Man'er checked with Lian Shouxin one by one with the account book, and Xiao Qi plucked the abacus beads in a crackling manner.
The final result is of course the same as what Lian Man'er just said.
Lian Shouxin touched his head. Of course, Lian Man'er did not lie to him. There was a circle behind every account. He actually paid for the wages for next year. Unconsciously, he didn't know it. Xiaoqi usually wanted to buy something and always liked to ask him for money. How could he, a father, not agree? Lian Man'er said that there was something missing in the family and asked her for money. Several children were greedy and wanted to buy fish, meat and slaughter the teeth, but they couldn't bear to pay. He said that the expenses for the public middle school were too much, so he happily said that he used his wages. And during the Chinese New Year, some of the things for Zhang and his four children were deducted from his wages. By the way, Zhang's hairpin was the full payment he had.
All the wages for a year are paid out in advance.
Zhang and the children would definitely not let him pay their wages in advance, and it would be even more impossible to use the money from the public to buy Lian Xiu'er Jin Jing'er. Just as Lian Man'er said outside the upper room just now, Lian Xiu'er's jewelry and clothes were more than Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er, and Jin Jing'er was not necessary.
He knew he shouldn't agree, but he couldn't stand Zhou's scolding and blame, so he agreed.
What should I do now?
"Cold meal." Lian Man'er snapped and closed the account book. "Dad. My mother asked you for Jin Dingxiang. My grandfather knew, so she definitely couldn't agree."
"Yes. When the old man comes back, I will talk to him. We should be filial to those who should be filial, which is too much. We can't afford it. Xiu'er is also a big boss, and it's not a good idea to mess around like this." Zhang became tough in a rare manner.
"My mother is right." Lian Man'er said immediately. "Dad, I know you are afraid that my breasts will scold you, so you dare not reason with her. Otherwise, if you have such a thing in the future, you can agree to her in person so that she can't scold her. After that, we will do it if it is unreasonable, and we won't do it."
"Is this OK?" Lian Shouxin smiled bitterly.
"Dad, if you can convince my nanny to reason, then you don't have to do this." Lian Man'er said. There is no way. Lian Man'er has seen some slick people, and they never refuse others. But you don't expect them to really complete what they promised. They only ask for a face-to-face shit. Lian Man'er does not agree with this approach, but Lian Shuxin can probably learn from this method when facing Zhou.
Even Shouxin sighed and said nothing.
In the evening, Mr. Lian came back. Lian Shuixin was encouraged by the children and took a look at a loophole. He quietly told Mr. Lian about the matter.
"Dad, we have made some money now, but we have also spent a lot of money. The golden lilac of Zhier and Man'er is still bought by these two children working in the shop and saving money. Xiu'er wants to wait until I can buy it for her."
"What are you buying for her?" Even the old man was immediately angry, "Her clothes and jewelry are all there to her. What face does she have to fight with Zhier and Man'er? Don't worry about this, I'll tell your mother."
"Dad, if you want to tell my mother, it's best to... say it slowly. It's not good to argue during the Chinese New Year." Lian Shouxin didn't want Mr. Lian to quarrel with Zhou.
"Okay, I know what's going on." Old Master Lian took a few deep breaths and agreed to Lian Shouxin.
Later, it was indeed calm and I don’t know how Mr. Lian told Zhou.
It was the third year of junior high school in a blink of an eye. On that day, Lian's family invited guests, and planned to set up three tables of tables, all of which were handled by his own family. Lian Shouxin took Wuro to entertain guests with Mr. Lian, while Zhang took Lian Man'er sisters to help prepare the meal.
"Why haven't Erlang's wife come yet?" Zhou walked back and forth a few times, looked at the door, and asked impatiently.
To be fair, the food made by Zhao Xiu'e is not as delicious as that made by Zhang, but Zhao Xiu'e is willing to put ingredients and pay attention to the styles in the restaurants and restaurants. Compared to Zhang, the home-cooked dishes that pay more attention to affordable and taste are more pleasant, especially when we are in the hospitality. Zhou planned to ask Zhao Xiu'e to make a few dishes to give Lian'e a long face.
No one answered because Zhao Xiu'e and Erlang have been living in the town these days, and there have been no one today.
"The second wife," Zhou greeted He, "What's going on? Erlang and Erlang's wife, when did they come yet? Why haven't you come yet? How did you be a mother-in-law? You know that you are not hungry every day. Can you still think of something serious?"
He was scolded for no reason and could only roll his eyes.
"I didn't see them come back to have breakfast. Who knows what happened? Isn't Xiu'e feeling uncomfortable again?"
"Look at the wife you chose. She has only been in the door for a few days. She is uncomfortable today and uncomfortable tomorrow. She is not as good as ours." Zhou scolded Zhao Xiu'e in front of her, but she naturally said such words to He. "She is uncomfortable, and Erlang is also uncomfortable, so why don't she come back."
"Who knows that I have become a mother-in-law, so I can't serve my daughter-in-law for one day. Who would I tell you to go to the wrong place?" He was also dissatisfied.
"If you don't set rules for her, who can you blame?" Zhou Shi looked down on He Shi, "Sanlang, Silang, go and see what happened to Erlang and his wife? She is still waiting for her to cook two dishes, she is so good..."
Sanlang was obedient and was about to go to the town to find someone. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Erlang coming towards him panting. The two of them immediately went to the upper room to meet Zhou.
"Where is your wife?" Zhou asked Erlang with a slight face.
"...She was uncomfortable early this morning and was busy asking her doctor...I said it would take a good rest, so I'll come back first." I don't know if it was because he left too quickly, but Erlang said stutteringly.
"Do you have a wife?" Zhou asked immediately.
"What, what's there?" Erlang was stunned.
The little bit of joy on Zhou's face suddenly disappeared.
"What's wrong with your wife? Did the doctor say that? Why is it like this every few days?" Zhou asked.
"I, I don't know, no, no, I don't understand, yes, what kind of woman is sick or something..." Erlang's forehead was sweating.
"Didn't you ask about this?" Zhou turned his head and asked He.
"I asked, what did Xiu'e say?" He thought for a long time, "I forgot that it shouldn't be a big deal. I didn't hear anything when I was at home before, and it will get better slowly."
Lian Man'er was so embarrassed that she was so amazing that she heard it next to her.
Zhou was very angry, and he was also very angry about He.
"What kind of evil have I done? God is so great that I have to worry about you for a long time. No matter how much I am worried about it, I won't worry about it." Zhou said angrily, and then looked at Erlang, "When you come back, will you leave your wife alone?"
"Yeah." Erlang nodded, shook his head again, "No, her mother is with her."
"Oh." Zhou said suspiciously, and asked Erlang to go into the house to see Mr. Lian, "Let your master see you come so that he can avoid thinking about it."
Erlang walked towards the east room, and Jiang, who was standing in front of the stove, hugged Niu Niu and gave in to the side. Suddenly, he shook Niu Niu Niu and laughed.
Zhou looked at Jiang.
"...Niu Niu said that his second uncle had a big smell of fried croquette." Jiang explained with a smile.
Erlang's face turned red.
Niu Niu poked out of Jiang's arms and grabbed Erlang's clothes. Erlang had to stop.
"Are you greedy for meatballs? Why is your nose so good? Look, your aunt is here. If your second uncle has meatballs, why didn't your aunt smell it?" Jiang smiled and teased Niu Niu.
Lian Xiu'er stood next to Jiang's family. After hearing this, she leaned closer to Erlang.
"Oh, Erlang, where are you going to the banquet? What's wrong?" Lian Xiu'er said, and slapped her nose with her hand, as if she wanted to slap Erlang away the smell stained from the banquet.
Erlang's face turned from red to purple, he broke free from Niu Niu's small hand in a panic and went into the room.
Zhou's face turned dark.
"Milk, Xiu'e must be really uncomfortable and can't get up the kang anymore, so she didn't come." Seeing Zhou's unhappy, Jiang immediately handed Niu Niu to Lian Xiu'er, "Are we still there? What kind of dishes to cook? Teach us milk. I can also move the shovel, and there are some aunts and some girls. You can also help with milk. You can arrange it for us."
Zhou smiled and nodded at Jiang.
...
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Wu Yugui's wife Wang took her son Wu Jiaxing and daughter Wu Jiayu to visit Lianman'er's house. After sitting together for a while, the whole group was divided into several groups. Zhang and Wang talked about family matters, Wulang and Xiaoqi took Wu Jiaxing to the breakfast shop to see Wulang's homework. Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er sat with Wu Jiayu, eating peanuts and melon seeds while whispering their own words.
"Jiayu, is Uncle Wu San better?" Lian Man'er asked. On the fourth day of the lunar month, Lian Shouxin went to Zhang's butcher's house for a drink, and Wu Yugui was also invited. Wu Yugui is a famous gossip. He had a constant banquet every day in the first lunar month. He drank too much that day, so he asked someone to take it home in a carriage. He said that he still caught a cold afterwards, so Lian Man'er asked this.
"It will be better after the first month of the year." Wu Jiayu smiled, "That day, thanks to the fourth uncle here, I drank a lot of wine for my father."
"Jiayu, you have been to the banquet many times these days, right?" Lian Man'er asked again. Some people invited guests together with the Wang mother and daughter.
"I went to several of them close to you."
"My father said, you went to Lao Zhao's mat on the third day of junior high school?" Lian Man'er smiled.
"Well, did my father tell the fourth uncle?" Wu Jiayu nodded.
"How is the banquet made by my sister-in-law Xiu'e?" Lian Man'er asked with a smile.
