Chapter 103 The Source of Silver

On the first day of work, Mrs. Lin prepared fatty meat to refine oil, made oily rice with oil residue, cooked dried plums and vegetables to make soup, fried vegetables, and a pot of fish chowder, which was their meal.

"Shunzi, they all said that the lunch at noon was delicious, and they worked harder in the afternoon," said Chen Dongsheng, who was tired all day, after coming back to eat, lying on the bed chatting with Mrs. Lin.

"We are building a house for the first time, and we don't know what it's like at home, so I'm still a little worried." Hearing what he said, Mrs. Lin felt a lot relieved.

"I heard from Sun Wang that they work in the big wharf for [-] yuan a day. They work hard and eat only miscellaneous grains and steamed buns. So when I saw our food today, I said it was too polite," thinking of that scene , he laughed.

"Hehe, our family didn't produce much, so we bought meat, and the miscellaneous fish was also cheap, only two pennies, and everything else was from our own. It's worth it to let them work harder!" In fact, Lin's main reason for doing this is to let Chen Dongsheng eat something good too.

It was the first day at Chen Dongsheng's house to work, and everyone couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.But after going back that night, my wife asked about these things, and those honest men didn't hide it, they told them all, and the next day, this matter exploded.

One hundred cents a day, I still have good food and drink, and oily rice, which is rare for people to eat once a year, and the family is so poor that they can't eat once a year. Let people guess how Chen Dongsheng's family earned their money.

Some people are speculating that the money was secretly given by Mrs. Hu. After all, Chen Dongsheng is her youngest son. Doesn't the old saying: spoil the older ones, love the younger ones, this must be done by Mrs. Hu.

It would be good for everyone to talk about it, but it happened to reach Mrs. Zhang's ears. She thought to herself: There is still some truth to what she said. This week, Mrs. Zhou is going to help out. Only her own family has no benefit at all. , there must be something tricky, so I went to find Mrs. Hu and asked her to give me an explanation.

"You said it has nothing to do with you, so where did Chen Dongsheng's family get the money?" Mrs. Zhang held onto Mrs. Hu, with an aggrieved tone, an exaggerated expression, tears in her eyes, and she patted her thigh and cried: "When the family is separated, every The family only got so little copper, and he, Chen Dongsheng, thought it was worthless to buy a piece of wasteland the size of a fingernail. Now he not only bought more than an acre of land, but even connected the mountainous land, spending ten taels of silver... …I have invited so many villagers to help, and I am entertained with delicious food and drink every day, as well as oiled rice, woohoo...The two boys in my family haven’t eaten oiled rice for several years...,"

"What?" When Hu heard this, his expression immediately became astonished.She thought Mrs. Zhang wanted to blackmail her money, so she said that on purpose.In the past few days, she has been staying at home and hasn't gone there, so she doesn't know the gossip outside.Now hearing Zhang's crying, she felt that something was wrong, so she grabbed her sleeve and yelled, "Howling, explain the matter clearly to me, what did Dongsheng do?"

Mrs. Zhang saw that Mrs. Hu was finally angry, a sneer flashed across her mouth, and then she reached out to wipe the tears off her face, and said aggrievedly, "Dongsheng's family bought land and wanted to build a house, and the helpers were paid one hundred cash a day. Delicious treats... Even my sister-in-law went to help, and brought back a lot of fried rice for her son. My family didn't have any at all... People outside said that you dote on the big ones and love the young ones, You paid for that silver too!"

"I...," Hu just wanted to refute, but when she blinked her eyes and thought about it, she felt that the matter was strange and wanted to find out.

How could Dongsheng's family have ten taels of silver?It cost ten taels of silver to buy the land, so what about the person who builds the house and asks for help?Calculated in this way, the money is incomparable... If she had so much money, why would she make such a fuss all day, she would have already enjoyed the delicious food and drink for herself.

"Let's go and have a look." Mrs. Hu thought about it, and turned around and went out without caring about her clothes.

Seeing that, Mrs. Zhang immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, and followed closely.

And here, the stove built by Lin at Yu'er's house is full of white smoke, and several people are rushing in and out, neatly.Chen Yu, his brother and sister, who had just delivered the water, were sitting on the stone pier fanning their fans, with happy smiles on their lips.

It just so happens that building a house can still afford delicious food. This feeling is really comfortable!Chen Yu murmured in his heart, thinking about what Lin said, there are dregs fried vegetables, miscellaneous grain rice, fried beans with oil, and fungus vegetable soup, which are considered good meals.

Several figures on the stove are busy in their own way, but they are talking and laughing, and everyone is busy and happy.However, when Mrs. Hu led Mrs. Zhang to the backyard, Yu'er opened her mouth and yelled: "Mother," and then remained silent.

She didn't want to call those people, they were too disgusting.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin rubbed her hands on the rags that were used as oil in the front, came out and said with a smile, "Is the fish hungry? You can start eating right away. Wait a minute, mother will give you..." As he said that, when he saw the two figures approaching angrily, his smiling face froze immediately, and he shouted, "Em, Second Sister-in-law,"

"Hey, the taste is really delicious, third brother and sister, what are you doing delicious?" Mrs. Zhang asked enviously, looking at the stove with white smoke billowing from her eyes like no one else.

Mrs. Lin ignored her, but looked at Mrs. Hu and asked indifferently, "Mum, what's the matter?"

"What's your attitude?" Seeing Lin's arrogant look, Mrs. Hu felt that she was being looked down upon, so she immediately exploded.He roared angrily, "My son is building a house, can I take a look at it?"

Hehe, look, her cloudy eyes are shining brightly at the moment, wishing that all her own things belong to her, and even looking at it, it's really deceiving without blinking an eye. "Then take a good look, I'm off to work!" Mrs. Lin ignored her, knowing that the more he was interested in her, the more troubled she would be.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Yu'er felt that Mrs. Lin seemed to have changed, something she couldn't tell.Anyway, she didn't seem to be so afraid of Hu Shi anymore.

Is it because I have money in my hand, or is it because my family is going to build a house?

Ha ha, even my father has changed, let alone my mother.

"Third brothers and sisters," Mrs. Zhang called to her when she saw that Mrs. Lin was about to turn around and leave, staring at her like a poisonous snake, and asked sinisterly, "Hand over the money that belongs to my family." Hu's gave it, and she had to dig some oil.

"What?" Lin was taken aback, a little confused.

"Em gave you so much money, and you coaxed sister-in-law to help you and give her some benefits, and she didn't care about it. I'm different, don't take me for a fool," Mrs. Zhang thought when she saw her stunned look. She felt guilty, and it became more and more outrageous.
