Chapter 138 The old man who broke his son
Mingyue looked at the house, and it really was a barren house, so miserable!

In the kang cabinet, apart from yellow rice cakes, there is also a string of copper coins and half a bag of peanuts!
Open the storage room on the west side, which contains a year's rations for the whole family!

The roughest bracts, shriveled sweet potatoes, and half a bag of dried wild vegetables!

On the leased land, half of the harvest has to be handed over to the owner, and the rest is barely enough to feed the family!
The cost of Chu Zhuo's study was saved by the original owner and Erlang doing odd jobs everywhere!
Under normal circumstances, Chu Zhuo's life will get better if he is a scholar in the exam, but in troubled times, even the imperial examinations are suspended, and he can't get any benefits!
The children finished eating the rice cakes, and Mingyue also finished inspecting the family's property!
There are 80 copper plates in the small cabinet, which is too little. The original owner and his son are working everywhere, so it is impossible to have only this point. It seems that Mrs. Ma has hidden it elsewhere!
And the token that the prince of the dead ghost gave her, a well-made jade pendant, may have been handed over to Chu Zhuo!
Mingyue knew it well, and locked the cabinet door!

Chu Laoer came in with a half-boiled egg, "Father, it's all cooked!"

Mrs. Hu saw her two maids eating yellow rice cakes. Was it because she was dazzled?
There are only a dozen or so eggs in half a pot, Mingyue just took one, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth!
Seeing her delicious food, Xiao Lin became anxious, "Grandpa! I want to eat too!"

Mingyue ordered, "Erlang, bring some bowls of sugar water, I'll choke on eating only boiled eggs!"

Chu Erlang is already numb, just listen to his orders, "Our family has no sugar!"

Mingyue threw him a small paper bag, which contained some yellowed sugar, which was also taken out of the small cabinet!

"Get some more bowls!"

Chu Erlang ran back to the kitchen in a hurry. The hot water was ready-made, and it was quickly brought and placed on the kang table!
Mingyue waved, "You all come and sit!"

Dalin and Xiaolin had already climbed up to sit next to him, Chu Erlang hesitated for a moment, and sat aside too!
The three Hu mother and daughter did not move.

Mingyue snorted, "Don't I count my words? Come and sit!"

Surprised, Chu Erlang moved into the kang by himself to make room for Hu's mother and daughter to come over!

Mingyue commanded, "Do it all, peel two eggs in a bowl, and eat them while they're hot!"

"Okay!" The two boys cheered, and immediately began to peel the eggs!
Chu Erlang knew that something was wrong with his father today, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's words, so he quickly peeled the eggs!
Mingyue drank sugar water and ate boiled eggs, complaining about the bad food in her heart!

"Second daughter-in-law, you are still pregnant with your child, open it up for me to eat, and you two little girls, you are still so skinny at this age, eat more in the future!"

The words were serious, and every sentence was concerned for them. Chu Erlang was so moved that he was on the verge of tears, and urged his wife and daughter to eat quickly!

Hu Shi finally picked up the bowl, it was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life!
The two little girls were dying of happiness. They ate yellow rice cakes for the first time, and grandpa gave them brown sugar water and boiled eggs. This is the life of gods!

Secretly made up his mind to be more filial to Grandpa in the future!
There are so many delicious foods at once, the two boys usually can't eat, after all, this family really has no money!

While pushing it into his mouth, he said, "Grandfather! We are also thin, so we need to mend it!"

Mingyue chuckled, "As long as you are obedient and obedient, there will be plenty of good things!"

"Okay, let's be obedient!" The two boys agreed loudly, and the two little girls agreed in soft voices holding the bowls!
The family here enjoys a happy life, drinking sugar water and eating boiled eggs!
In the east room, Mrs. Ma was gasping for breath in pain, Mrs. Sun saw that her mother-in-law didn't look like she was pretending, and said worriedly, "My husband! Mother hurts so badly, if it doesn't work, please call a doctor!"

Chu Zhuo frowned, "It's getting dark outside, where can I find a doctor! Even if I rush to the town, the pharmacy won't be open! If I can't, I'll just run there!"

Mrs. Ma was in terrible pain, but she was reluctant to let her precious son go out in the middle of the night. If something happened, the hope of this life would be gone!
"Let the second child go!"

Chu Zhuo knew what his mother would say, just now he heard movement outside, so he got up immediately!
"You take care of mother first, I'll go find the second child!"

When I left the room, it was dark outside. The family was too poor to light candles, and the small oil lamp was only used once in a while!
Chu Laoer boiled eggs in the kitchen, also by the light of the stove, the kitchen was dark, and there was light in the upper room!

Chu Zhuo went straight to the room and smelled the aroma before reaching the door, and as soon as he entered the door, people surrounded by a kang were eating eggs!
This scene is so unreal, I thought it was tricky!
There is no separation, and the whole family usually eats together, but the only ones who are eligible to sit down are the men in the family!

I usually eat coarse grains and wild vegetables. When a woman is on the table, dare to eat boiled eggs?
In front of Mingyue, he didn't dare to question.

"Father! Mother is in severe pain. I want my second child to go to the town to find a doctor!"

Mingyue didn't even lift her eyelids, "Let her bear it, and if she can't bear it, you can go ask the doctor!"

Chu Zhuo couldn't believe it, his father loved him the most, how could he let him run out in a daze?

"But father, mother let the second child go!" He argued.

Mingyue said with a dark face, "If the second child can go, you can't. Your mother loves you even more. She just fell down, and you shrink back. It seems that you can't be counted on in the future!"

Chu Zhuo was speechless, and quickly said, "Father! That's not what I mean. In fact, I don't agree with going to the town. The road is far away and dangerous. It's just that my mother hurts so much, I have no idea!"

Mingyue sneered, "It's normal for an elderly person to twist her waist, just let her rest quietly!"

What else can Chu Zhuo do, he can only agree!
"Well, that's fine, I'll let my daughter-in-law rub it for my mother, maybe it will be fine!"

Mingyue ignored him, picked up the last egg, peeled it off and stuffed it into her mouth. Everyone else ate the egg and felt very satisfied!

Chu Zhuo finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Father! Have you eaten all the eggs at home?"

"What? You'll feel bad after eating two eggs!"

Mingyue was very angry, "The chickens at home are raised by the second daughter-in-law, and usually the two girls catch bugs and feed them. Shouldn't we eat them?"

"No! Dad, I didn't mean that, it's just our family's situation...!"

Chu Zhuo said half of what he said, and kept the rest, and sighed in pain, "It's all because I have no ability to earn money to support my family!"

Mingyue sneered, "It's good to know, but you are not useless, just as the conscription paperwork has come down, as the eldest son of the family, I think it is most suitable for you to go!"

Boom!

The empty bowl in Chu Erlang's hand was frightened away. He had already finished drinking the sugar water, but he was reluctant to put it down. He held it and wanted to lick it again, but the bowl was shocked by his father's words. Fortunately, he didn't drop it. Bad!
He didn't care about helping the bowl, "Father! How can I let my elder brother be a scholar?"

Mingyue curled her lips and said, "Scholar is even better, someone who can read and write, he can become a clerk when he goes there, at least he doesn't need to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and he can win honor for his family if he does well!"

"That's right! There is a military salary for being a soldier, so it's useful for the boss!"

Chu Zhuo was ringing in his ears, he couldn't believe it was his father who said that, since he was a child, his father loved him the most, and hoped that he would study hard and make his ancestors shine in the future!
The delicious and useful things at home are all closely related to him, why did they suddenly change?

Did he know?
