The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 12 Family Meeting
Zhao Yunlan came back down the mountain, went around to the field to greet Li's family and went back.Old man Li saw that the field was almost done, so he called everyone to go home together.

The Li family brothers were very excited when they knew that Zhao Yunlan had picked up a pheasant.

Li Mingyi held Xiaobao to run and jump, and Xiaobao was scared and wanted to play.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the whole family with smiles on their faces, even the normally silent old man Li was a little smiling, Zhao Yunlan was suddenly poked in the heart by this simple sense of happiness.

When the old and the young returned home, Mrs. Wang heard the voice, "His father, Lan Niang, the boss is back."

Old man Li hadn't seen his eldest son for a long time, and he became excited, "Okay, everyone picked up a pheasant today, what is the boss doing now?"

Zhao Yunlan slumped beside her, sighing in her heart that happiness is always fleeting. "Mom, Dad, I'll put the things in the kitchen first."

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, and Li Mingren heard a voice in the room, "Father, second brother, third brother, younger brother and younger sister." Old man Li said, "Well, just come back."

Li's brother and sister "big brother"

The brothers and sisters watched Zhao Yunlan go to the kitchen, and Xiaobao, who was walking behind him, all looked sympathetically at Zhao Yunlan.

Zhao Yunlan didn't care whether Li Mingren was paying attention to her, and walked quickly to the kitchen to put things away, dawdling in the kitchen for a while, until Li Mingmei came in and called her, "Sister-in-law, mother told you to go to the room, brother has something to say over there."

Zhao Yunlan thought that she couldn't escape, so she had to bite the bullet and go, holding Xiaobao to increase her sense of security.

Entering the upper room, Mrs. Wang called Zhao Yunlan to sit next to Li Mingren. Now that Zhao Yunlan was meeting Li Mingren in a serious way, Zhao Yunlan still said, "Sir."

Xiaobao looked at this strange man sitting next to his mother and kept staring, Li Mingren said, "Well, the family is lucky for you."

Zhao Yunlan was speechless for a while listening to the official answer, and Li Mingren felt that Xiaobao's eyes were bewildered, so he could only pretend to be calm.

"Xiaobao, this is Daddy. Last time Xiaobao was too young, so I can't remember when Daddy hugged Xiaobao." Everyone in the Li family was embarrassed. When did Li Mingren hug Xiaobao? Li Mingren thought, Is Zhao Yunlan accusing him?

Zhao Yunlan actually didn't know what to say, and she had never been married before, so she had never experienced such a scene!It's just casual, and I don't want to blame anyone or complain about it.Who would have thought that the Li family could think so much about such a casual sentence.

Mrs. Wang brought the topic back and said to everyone, "Boss will take the county exam in a while. In addition to the exam paper fee of 25 yuan, the boss also plans to pool a share with his classmates to buy the exam papers of previous years." Let's see, the meals for the boss's exam days also need to be arranged properly, and this exam will cost a fortune."

Zhao Yunlan listened, as expected, it is still easy for scholars to earn money. There is a reason why it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble child. It will cost a lot of money before the exam.

Mrs. Li continued to say, "I plan to give the boss [-] yuan this time."

Li Mingyi: "Mother, how much money do you have at home now?"

Mrs. Wang: "I really can't get the money that the boss needs now. I still have a thousand dollars here, plus the one hundred Wen that you two brothers paid back from work a few days ago is not enough. The money that the boss should spend on studying is still needed." But the family still needs to keep some money for the family. I discussed with your father to sell the land at the foot of the mountain, so that we can prepare for the marriage of the second child. When the third child divides the land, the family will more land."

When Zhao Yunlan heard about the land sale, she couldn't help but frowned. Mrs. Wang noticed, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Everyone in the Li family had no objection. After all, they had already sold their land for Li Mingren's study, and it seemed to be a matter of course.

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan, "Mother Lan, my body is just like this, and the family behind will also be handed over to you. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. I also made it clear that our old Li family has I really owe you something. During this period of time, my mother sees that you are becoming more and more sensible, so even if my mother leaves, I can rest assured."

The sons and daughters of the Li family were moved, "Mother, don't say that, it will get better."

Li Mingmei, "Mother, when my elder brother is admitted as a scholar, our family will recover."

Li Mingren "...Mother, I, mother, please relax and take care of your body."

Zhao Yunlan looked at the big family and sighed, thinking of what Mrs. Li said just now to hand over the family to her, she actually started waiting for this sentence when she actually had a plan.After coming here these days, I have gradually regarded myself as a part of this place. Getting along with the Li family is very comfortable. Although life is hard, I can feel the affection of the family.

Of course, except for Li Mingren, I still don't know how to face the future with Li Mingren. This kind of marriage really cannot be done with a plan.We can only take one step at a time and solve the problem at the moment: "Mom, I don't think selling the land is a good way. Once the land is sold, it will be difficult to get it back. Those lands are all raised by grandpa, father and younger siblings. from."

Wang: "Why don't I know this truth? I sold the land once before, and the family's life has not slowed down, but we must not give up on the boss exam. This is your grandfather's previous wish."

Li Mingren "Mother, it's my son who is unfilial."

Zhao Yunlan saw that the mother and son were about to cry together, and said, "Mother, I didn't tell the husband not to refer to it. I just don't agree with selling the land. I think we have other ways, that is... the husband , I want to know what preparations are needed for the exam? I have never cared about Xianggong’s studies before, it’s my negligence as a wife, I just want to say how to arrange for the [-] Wen given by my mother.”

Li Mingren, "This..." Suddenly asked to answer such a question, Li Mingren was stunned.In the past, the Wang family paid almost as much as Li Mingren spent outside, which was basically enough, and he never made budget arrangements in advance.

Mrs. Wang: "Boss, don't hesitate, just say what you use."

Li Mingren: "Yes, mother. In addition to the test paper fee, I also want to buy the articles of previous years' test papers. This time, there are excellent test papers, which are worth reading. I agreed with my classmates to buy a copy together. One copy is [-] yuan, and each of us is [-] yuan. There are still pens and inks that can’t last until the county test. I have to buy this. I usually use inferior pens and inks, which are about [-] yuan. The rest is to go. The cost of the county seat, and the government examination later."

After Zhao Yunlan listened, she nodded her head to show that she understood. If she really passed the exam this time, she would have to go to the government to take the exam later. The money should not be enough. Sure enough, it is the strength of the whole family to provide for a scholar from a poor family.Turning her gaze to Mrs. Wang, this old lady is also very powerful, just for the wish of the late Mr. Li, she desperately sacrificed for Li Mingren, hey~.

Mrs. Wang, "Say what Lanniang has to say."

Zhao Yunlan: "Mom, since you can trust me, I won't hide it. This is what I think. Land is the foundation of a family. If it's not good, I won't say it. I don't agree with selling land. , the family needs money now, we can borrow some. I know that Lao Li's family has a strong character, but now is a special period. There is a scholar in the family, and the second brother is too old. He should have seen the girl long ago. Let me not talk about it for the time being, boys can afford to wait even when they are older, and girls should also prepare in two years, and the cycle of selling land and dividing land to fill holes will not be able to mend. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Yunlan complained about this evil feudal society in her heart.Zhao Yunlan looked at the expressions of everyone in the Li family, and continued, "I consider these things to be in the future. Now the husband's exam requires money, and mother's medicine must not be broken, and it also needs money. If someone in the family is sick, it needs to be used urgently." Money, the family must keep money, and the land will be sold countless times for the first time, so that in the future, the old Li family will not think of a solution when encountering money problems, and directly sell the land. How much land is enough for us to sell. "

Old Man Li: "Master, you are talking about this reason, but my old Li family has never said anything about borrowing money."

Zhao Yunlan: "Father, I can understand your feelings, but please believe me, the borrowed money will be repaid soon. And I want everyone to assure you that this is the first and last time to borrow money. Find someone to borrow money casually. Since I have said this, I will do it. I will also make a guarantee for the second brother's important matter today. Father, mother, don't worry, this year will definitely make the second brother look at the girl , and we can repay the borrowed money.”
