The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 114

Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Mrs. Bai opened her sleeves and peeked at Youngest Su. Seeing his preaching tone, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she wiped her eyes vigorously, seemingly wiping away the non-existent tears, but actually He tried to make his eyes red as much as possible, as if he had just cried sincerely.

After wiping, he lowered his arms and said, "The third son just came back, how can he stand outside? Hurry up and rest in the house, eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, you go and get some delicious food, and leave the old man at night." Three eat at home."

Chen Ping and Lu Feng were originally unwilling, but when they thought of the 20 taels that Su Laosan said, they knew that he would not lie, and that he should be allowed to eat just because of the 20 taels, so they readily agreed.

Just what is delicious?Since there is water, life is not as sad as before, but after so long drought, no one has anything to raise, but after the cold weather, it is said that a lot of frozen meat has been shipped from other places, and people with spare money will buy some Save it for Chinese New Year.

Naturally, the Su family also bought it, but they kept it for their own food, so how could they take it out just to entertain Su Laosan?

So, a pot of stewed tofu with pickled vegetables and some minced meat was served on the table.

Looking at the dishes in the pot, is this the delicious one that Mrs. Bai ordered?Su Laosan felt uncomfortable again, "Mother, is life at home so difficult?"

Bai was a little annoyed that the two daughters-in-law were ignorant and wanted to cheat money from the third child, but they were still reluctant to give up some meat and vegetables, but at this time she couldn't say that the two daughter-in-laws were not willing to give the third child Su good food, and sighed , "There is no other way. After your father passed away, the family lived on those lands. There was no harvest in the past two years. After paying the land tax, my mother fell ill again. I don't know how to live next year. .”

After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, the whole family looked at Su Laosan in unison, seeing Su Laosan's back getting hairy, and it took a long time to realize it, and quickly took out the copper coins brought from his arms, "Mother, this is the money given to you this year." Mother's filial piety, I think that there are not many places to use silver at home, and it is more convenient to change it into copper coins, so I changed it into copper coins, and added two hundred coins, which is regarded as the son's extra filial piety to mother. You take it It can last for a while. After the new year, the eldest brother and the second brother's family can go out and find some work. Although it is more difficult, we can still live on."

At first, Mrs. Bai saw that Mr. Su's arms were bulging, thinking that he had brought a lot of good things, but who knew that there was only a sling of copper coins. At that time, there was displeasure in his eyes, but the thought of having to fool him into taking out other things It's more than 20 taels, so I nodded, "The third child has a heart, since it's filial money, mother will accept it. Don't be dazed, let's eat quickly."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the copper coin to himself.After receiving Bai's order, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

There are many Su family members, so they are divided into two tables when eating, the three brothers and the older boy are at the same table with Bai, and the female is at the same table as the children.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Bai put down his chopsticks and said with a distressed expression: "Third son, mother has no choice but to beg you. Life is hard at home these days. If you make money outside, can you take it out first?" Some help? I will return it to you when the family makes money in the future?"

Su Lao San sighed after hearing this, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I don't have any money."

Mrs. Bai frowned when she heard this, and the second son Su couldn't hold back even more, "Why do you have no money? When you first entered the village, didn't you tell the villagers that your boss would give you money to thank you for saving your life?" I paid you 20 taels of silver? Adding the wages of the past few months, that’s more than 20 taels.”
