Chapter 20 The Glorious Lintel
Chen Jinniang sized up Liu Xigui, but it wasn't enough, so she touched it with her hands. After touching it for a while, she didn't miss any place where money might be hidden, but she didn't touch a single coin, so she believed that he didn't have the guts to hide it, but this The money from the first sale of the prey obviously made her extremely dissatisfied.

He didn't like this son in the first place, but now he saw that his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and his tone became more and more bitter.

"Your elder brother is going to take another exam soon. There are many places where money is used, but the money you get back is getting less and less. Are you deliberately not wanting him to pass the exam?"

"How did I give birth to such a broom star like you!"

"When I was pregnant with you, there was a famine in the village. You couldn't pay taxes. Your father had to serve in the military. On the day you were born, your second brother stepped into the river and drowned in the river at night in order to find Mrs. Wen. die."

"It's all because of you!"

"If your elder brother hadn't stopped me back then, I would have strangled you to death long ago. Your elder brother picked up your life. You will be your elder brother's cow and horse for the rest of your life!"

Liu Xigui remained expressionless.

Chen Jinniang's aggressive attitude was restrained a bit, she understood the principle of giving a sweet date for a stick, and her tone was softer, but there was not much difference in fact.

"After your father passed away, Yuchen was the pillar of the family, the only scholar in our family, and the only hope for the glory of the Liu family."

"It is not easy for ordinary people to cultivate a scholar."

"We are a family. We should work together and do our best to meet any of his needs so that he can study with peace of mind."

"In the future, if he is admitted as a scholar and a scholar, you will follow him. Even if you have a bad reputation because of your fate, others will marry your daughter to you because your elder brother is a scholar and a gentleman. Let our Liu family be relatives, and enjoy the glory of our Liu family."

"You once killed a woman, and if you want to find a wife, you can only wait for your elder brother to become famous."

A sarcasm flashed across Liu Xigui's eyes.

"Are you finished?"

Before Chen Jinniang could answer, she turned around and went back to her bedroom. She said it was a bedroom, but it was actually just a vacated firewood shed, and all the firewood was placed under the eaves outside the gate.

The firewood room is square and small, with only a window the size of a bronze mirror on the east wall.

Liu Xigui took a set of clothes.

He boiled the water by himself and took it to the bedroom, took a shower, and when he went out to pour the water, he met Chen Jinniang who was drying the clothes outside. Chen Jinniang was washing the clothes at home, including Liu Yuchen's wife, Li Shi, and Liu Yuchen's third son. There are two sons and one daughter, and only Liu Xigui washes his own clothes since he was a child.

Chen Jinniang couldn't help talking again.

"I asked you to pick up firewood and you didn't pick it up, but you have to boil water to take a bath every time. Now that it's hot, can't you take a bath in cold water?"

The corners of Liu Xigui's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"I can go gather firewood."

"A few days ago, there was a sudden change of staff in Yuntailou, and I received wild game from other hunters. I don't have to deliver to them regularly, and I just have a lot of free time."

Chen Jinniang's expression changed drastically.

"Don't even think about staying lazy at home. Even if the Yuntai Tower is closed, Xishui Town is so big, and there are many people buying wild game. Go hunting in the mountains tomorrow morning!"

Currently, the family has only two sources of income.

One is the money Liu Xigui earned from hunting.

The second is Liu Yuchen's wife. Deng's embroidery is sold for money. This is why Chen Jinniang does all the rough and tiring work at home. Deng's hands are used for embroidery. The shop is willing to accept her embroidery.

Embroidery takes a long time, and the rewards are pitiful.

But it is always a stable income.

Chen Jinniang disliked it from the bottom of her heart.

But I dare not let this progress be cut off.

Now the family's living expenses are almost entirely dependent on the money Liu Xigui earned from hunting, but hunting is so dangerous, and there are always many people who die in the mountains.

In case Liu Xigui collapsed one day, at least Mrs. Deng could still make money in the family.

 I’m sorry, it’s Chen Jinniang. I made a few mistakes and corrected it. If you see it’s Chen Manniang’s again, let me know and I’ll correct it. Liu Xigui’s mother is Chen Jinniang.
