"Mom, look at my sister and I have picked these things. Your money is not enough." Lian Man'er said.
"That, Man'er..." Zhang didn't know what to say for a moment. Just now, Lian Man'er asked everyone what they wanted, and she naturally thought that Lian Man'er would pay for the things that Lian Man'er chose. Now that Lian Man'er said this, as a mother, she felt that she was a bit unfair to the child when she thought about it.
"Or, I'll buy you milk with two cheap cloths, and I'll buy you the remaining money." Zhang said.
"No," Lian Man'er had a small face tightly, "You can't spend this money on Mom, you will spend it on us. Just ask someone if there is any reason. If your granddaughter is sick and buys medicine, and doesn't pay, and your daughter-in-law will buy it as her hairpin. She also wants to buy a big head, what kind of Yangrong pills should be bought."
"Slightly, softly." Zhang hurriedly asked Lian Man'er to whisper a little.
"What are you afraid of? We did nothing wrong." Lian Man'er said. "Mom, you know that milk is wrong in doing this, right? Then you only care about your own filial piety and let others know that milk is doing this, so how should you discuss her?"
Even Man'er just held the money in her hand tightly. No matter how Zhang said that, she didn't take it out.
"Man'er, before I went out, I promised you to breastfeed." Zhang said helplessly.
"So what if you agree? At that time, it was hard for my mother to make things difficult for me. In order to come to the town, it was nothing if I agreed temporarily. She was unreasonable, so we don't have to be trustworthy." Lian Man'er said, "It was a matter of no reason. We are not afraid of where to tell this matter."
"Man'er, you're right. But I still have this amount of money left in my hand, and she knows that you breastfeed her. If I don't spend this money on her, I will not stop." Zhang said the truth at the end.
The Lian family was not separated, and even if she and Lian Shouxin earned a penny, they would have to hand over to Zhou's hands. However, Zhou's dowry could not be moved. This is a customary rule in the village. If anyone violated it, it would be accused of being the backbone.
Of course, Zhou would not directly seek the dowry of his daughter-in-law, but after each daughter-in-law entered the house, there was always some daily expenses. Zhou never gave them any money, nor would he give them money to buy. The daughter-in-law had no choice but to spend money brought from the family. Then, for example, if the daughter-in-law was in a hurry to use money in the room, Zhou said he had no money, or hinted that the daughter-in-law should be filial. In this way, in different ways, he would squeeze money out of his daughter-in-law.
Over the years, Zhang has used all the jewelry he brought from his mother's house. In the other rooms, Gu was good at flattering Zhou because he was in the town. Zhou saw that she was a scholar and was slightly better. On the He side, Zhou did not get any benefits, but Zhao was searched for it earlier than Zhang.
Now Zhou knew that she had a few leftover money as hairpins. Zhou would not give up until she finished plundering the money. Of course, Zhou would not say anything directly about this matter. After all, there was no reason, but Zhou definitely did not have a good face and looked for trouble in other matters.
"The wealth is gone and the people are happy." Zhang said mockingly. If it weren't for the sake of her younger daughter, she wouldn't have let go of those two hairpins.
"Mom, if you spoil this way, you have no head." Lian Man'er said. In her previous life, she had heard about some things between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It is not uncommon for mother-in-law to try every means to plunder the money of her daughter-in-law.
"Nothing for anything else, just to spend two days of peace, otherwise your breasts will be cloudy all day long, and our family will not be able to live a good life." Zhang said.
"Mom, even if you buy these things for her, you will only have two days of peace." Lian Man'er said. Such compromise and concession would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. Not only would it not solve the problem, but it would make Zhou's family worse.
"Man'er, my mother has difficulties, and this is how our family has always been." Zhang said.
In a family, whenever a fixed order becomes a fixed order, people will unconsciously follow it and forget to consider whether the fixed order is reasonable. In many cases, the parties involved do not feel that it is like this, but in the eyes of outsiders, it may be incredible and unbearable.
Zhang was in the game. If no one woke her up, she would continue like this.
Home is not a place where you can reason. For Zhang, the way that is too strong may not be able to completely pull her over. Lian Man'er's identity allows her to use another weapon.
Lian Man'er tried hard to recall all the grievances in her past and present life, and began to shed tears.
"Man'er, why are you crying? Don't cry. Have something to discuss with your mother." Zhang suddenly panicked.
"Second sister, don't cry." Xiaoqi saw Lian Man'er crying, and hurried over.
Lian Man'er pulled Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, we are so pitiful, wuwu..."
Xiaoqi was young, and his emotions were soon infected by Lian Man'er and began to cry.
Zhang's heart was softened by crying. Man'er was right, because she was too weak and wanted to please Zhou too much, and she had always been wronged by her children. She is a mother, so she is incompetent.
"Second sister, stop crying, otherwise you should cry and get sick." Xiaoqi said as he twitched.
Good Xiaoqi. Lian Man'er pinched Xiaoqi's hand and thrust, "Please take out all the money we earn. Buy things for my mother and my aunt, and my mother's life will be better... Xiaoqi, the wound on my sister's head hurts..."
"Man'er, Man'er, why are you having a headache again?" Zhang hurriedly grabbed Lian Man'er and wanted to see the wound on her head.
Lian Man'er dodged away and hugged Xiaoqi and cried.
Zhang finally stomped his feet.
"I won't buy those few pieces of cloth. I have to spend this money, so I will give it to me Man'er and Xiao Qihua." Zhang took the initiative and was scolded when he went back.
Only then did Lian Man'er stop crying. Her tears and the wounds on her head were indeed the ultimate weapon, and she would continue to make good use of them in the future.
After returning all the pieces of cloth Zhang picked, Lian Man'er took the cloth she and Lian Zhier to ask the shopkeeper how much it cost.
"...There are 213 cents in total, and you will only be charged 210 cents." The shopkeeper said.
"We've bought too many," Lian Zhi'er wanted to return the big red silk piece she picked, but was stopped by Lian Man'er. "What's the difference? I'm afraid it's not enough." Later, she asked for a few more feet of white fine cloth and planned to make an extra set of clothes for change.
"We bought so much from the shopkeeper. Should we give more discounts..." Lian Man'er wiped away her tears, bargained with the shopkeeper's price with great energy, and finally cut the price to 200 cents.
Lian Man'er paid the money happily. She originally didn't plan to use Zhang's silver. Later, after thinking about it, she let Zhang's fortune go and have a happy life, which will save her from the trouble of moving again and want to please Zhou.
Zhou's money was worth one or two cents, Lian Man'er added another eighty cents and settled the account with the shopkeeper.
When Zhang saw Lian Man'er like this, he was a little amused and said, "We will be the head of Man'er in the future."
"It's good for the second sister to be the leader." Before Lian Zhi'er and Goro could say anything, Xiaoqi rushed to say.
Lian Man'er didn't say anything, but thought it was a good idea in her heart.
After leaving the silk shop, the family went to the grocery store next to them, bought a set of needles, and bought a lot of silk threads of various colors, which cost a total of thirty cents. Then, they went to Chenji bun shop together. Lian Man'er still had two meatballs stuffed with one person and two bowls of noodles soup, and ordered three buns of meatballs stuffed with one bowl of noodles soup, and a bowl of noodles soup, and a stack of pickles. When they finished eating, they ordered four buns of meatballs stuffed with meatballs and a piece of sauce meat, so that the shopkeepers would wrap them in oil paper to bring them to Lian Shouxin for eating.
Lian Man'er counted sixty cents to the mate, and the family came out of Chen Ji, and then walked towards the blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith shop was at the west end of Qingyang Town. When Lian Man'er and the others arrived, Lian Shouxin was squatting in the shop watching Feng's blacksmith work. The sickle had been repaired, and there were two iron picks to be repaired.
"Dad, are you hungry? Let's eat buns first." Lian Man'er handed the buns to Lian Shouxin.
"Dad, there is still meat." Xiao Qi lifted the meat wrapped in oil paper to Lian Shouxin.
Even the trustworthy man was in the blacksmith shop, sweating profusely. Seeing his son and daughter so sensible and filial, it felt like a cool breeze was blowing, and it felt comfortable from the inside out.
"Brother, you go to have a meal first. You are not at ease with my skills. I will definitely be able to practice it for you." Feng Blacksmith said.
When the blacksmith shop was crossing, there happened to be a tea stall, which cost a large pot of Gao Mo, which could also be replenished. The family walked to the tea stall, ordered a pot of tea, picked up a table and sat down.
"... So rich can't resist the call of the King of Hell. His youngest son died for two days, and the newly married wife was also hung. She happened to put in a coffin. After completing the whole set of rituals, she would be buried in the ancestral grave. You didn't see that the funeral was so decent, and the water table..."
On the table next to it, two traveling merchants were talking lively.
"It has spread a long time ago that Young Master Sun has not lived for a month, but someone is really willing to marry his daughter?"
"Why don't you agree? It's just that the three daughters of the Liu Laifu family in Liujiazhuang are ten years old this year. The Sun family gave them a total of three hundred taels of silver."
"It's okay. I just pity that little girl. She doesn't seek death. She has to be a widow at such a young age."
"Your brother is stunned now. The Sun family wants her to go over, but it's not for this. Who wants her to be a widow?"
"What does this mean?"
"You don't know yet. This is a connection between Yang Chengfeng in this town. The Sun family knew that his youngest son would not live, so they wanted to find a wife for him, that was to sacrifice her husband, and that his youngest son would have a companion under the ground. Spend a few taels of silver more than to be decent after death."
"Then, the young wife didn't die by herself, and the Liu family also knows about this?"
"Why don't you know? After all, a life of her family always requires her family to be willing, so there will be no obstacles in the future. I heard that it was Liu Laifu's wife who went over and helped him personally... The Sun family spent a lot of money... Yang Chengfeng rushed back from his brother-in-law's house to do this, and he didn't hide it from the Liu family at that time. I also heard that there was another family who was willing, but later I didn't know what happened. It didn't happen, and this good thing fell into the Liu family..."
The two travelers said the secret place and lowered their voices a little, but Lian Man'er still heard them at the table.
Even Shouxin bit the bun, his face fluttered purple, and Zhang's hand shaking on the table.
Lian Man'er clenched her fists and turned her head.
