Chapter 437 Silver is more important than face
Looking at the sneering son standing in the courtyard, Old Man Qiu felt a little timid in his heart.

In the past, old man Qiu didn't think that it was nothing for his son to hand over the silver to the family. His husband and wife raised him, and his silver was the family's silver.

It's just that old man Qiu thought of his father's scolding and the patriarch's lesson that day, and he felt uncomfortable: "Don't be jealous here, you can earn money yourself if you have the ability! He can eat well and dress well, that's his fate." , you are ordered to marry a daughter-in-law with 500 taels of silver as a dowry!"

As soon as these words came out, the three daughter-in-laws of the Qiu family did not dare to open their mouths. If the Qiu family divorced them, it would not be worth the loss.

Qiu Li took 35 taels of silver and handed it in, feeling very distressed, but at this time the uncle and his wife of the Li family committed suicide.

Uncle Li has been doing business outside for several years, but he has not been lucky enough to come back to farm in the village.

The money was not earned, but people were lazy. This time, there were three laborers in his family, and they had to pay 20 taels of silver.

"Sister, if you don't help me, I won't be able to survive this day. 20 taels of silver is just pawning the property, and that's all. But there are eight people in my family. If the property is gone, the whole family will starve to death."

During the years when Uncle Li was running a small business outside, he would often help this elder sister when he was short of money. Although he didn't give much, it was still kind.

Her eldest brother's family is not loose at the moment, Qiu Li knows this well.

But if it is only 20 taels to pawn the family, she knows that the siblings are crying poor.

Although the life of my brother's family is not as good as my own, but there are several acres of fertile land, and there is really no way to sell two acres of land, so the money comes.

My younger brother and sister, the purpose of coming to her to cry is to make my brother feel heartless.

If it's normal, Qiu Lishi still thinks it's okay to help a few taels.

But today, she only took away 35 taels from her hand, not to mention a few taels of silver, even if she helped a few hundred dollars, she would feel very distressed.

When Qiu Chen heard that the uncle's family was here to ask for silver, she felt very upset: "My sister-in-law, it's not that mother won't help you. You must know that our family paid 35 taels of silver all of a sudden. Don't say it." The family has extra money, even the newly harvested millet has been sold a lot to make up for it.”

Aunt Li Zai knew about her elder sister's handing over the money, but she didn't believe that her elder sister's family only had such a small amount of money.

Hearing what the eldest niece and daughter-in-law said, Aunt Li suddenly became upset: "Your family still has to sell millet? The eldest sister only has the second nephew to pay more than this amount of money for a year. We are just borrowing, not not paying back. Is there a need to complain? The younger ones don't know very well, when your family was in a difficult time, did your uncle help less?"

Anyway, the money in this family will be separated in the future and they will lose their share. Hearing that Mrs. Qiu Chen was taught a lesson, Mrs. Chen was secretly happy.

Qiu Chenshi was taught for a while, and she couldn't hold back anymore, but she didn't dare to contradict her elders, she only dared to complain: "Eldest sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know how much money it costs the fifth brother to go to school, right? Although the second brother He paid a little money, but since he ordered the Chen family, he hasn't paid any more money to Gongzhong."

Aunt Li couldn't believe it looking at her sister-in-law: "Sister, the second nephew won't be filial to your elders once they get married? How can this be done? August is the peak hunting season, and he can earn at least 20 taels of silver a month by this method. Why? Can you show some filial piety to your parents?"

Only the Qiu family knew about this matter, and Qiu Chen knew her mother-in-law's face clearly: "Big sister-in-law, the second brother said that he wants to support the family when he gets married, and that his parents are partial to our brothers. There is no way for parents to do this." Ah. Why don't uncle come forward in person and borrow some money from him? Anyway, it's not like he won't pay it back, is it? "

As soon as these words fell, Qiu Lishi's complexion instantly improved.

The dead old man was afraid that the people in the clan would not let her ask for it, so his mother's uncle was very old, and this uncle borrowed it, to see if the heartless one would be embarrassed not to borrow it!
Aunt Li's face lit up when she heard this: "Auntie, why don't you accompany us to the village?"

The eyes of Li Qiuxiang who followed also lit up. Cousin can earn more than [-] taels a month. From August to November, at least he earned nearly a hundred taels, right?

"Auntie, my second cousin has listened to you since I was a child. Please help us. If my parents really had no other choice, they wouldn't ask **** to come. Our parents **** directly, I'm afraid we won't Very suitable."

Qiu Chen saw that the two had changed their goals, and immediately said: "Eldest concubine, eldest cousin, the second younger brother and the second younger sibling are not in the village during the day, they are all in the Chen family. From now on, the Chen family is separated from each other." It’s only a few steps, why don’t you let Xiao Zhuzi take you there.”

When Qiu Liu heard that her son had brought her uncle's family there, the sister-in-law clearly wanted her son to be annoying, so she hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, the pillars have been cold for the past two days. Chunhua take them there, anyway, doesn't Chunhua often go to the courtyard to find grass to play with?"

Seeing the two nieces and daughters-in-law pushing back and forth, Aunt Li got annoyed: "Okay, okay, what's the use of calling a child, elder sister, go with us."

Boss Qiu saw that his own mother brought his concubines and cousins ​​to trouble the second brother, he couldn't bear it: "Mother, the second brother has enough opinions on the family, and you go to ask him for money again, then he will be angry. "

Qiu Laosan also persuaded: "Mother, eldest sister-in-law, the second brother is not easy. The little money on hand is spent on repairing the house and marrying the second sister-in-law. Go to him again and be careful that he will not give you face."

Qiu Lishi has never been a shameless person. If her sister-in-law came to borrow money, if she really couldn't borrow a penny, how could she speak forcefully when she returned to her mother's house?

What is face, she is his mother, how dare he really show no face?

Qiu Li's face darkened: "Sister-in-law, let's go find him. If he dares to be disobedient, I will sue him for disobedience!"

Aunt Li felt that her sister-in-law was domineering, and she couldn't control the son she gave birth to. Who would give birth to a son?

"Go, I know that my second nephew has always been a filial child, and he will definitely help his uncle's family through this difficult time!"

Seeing his mother and aunt and cousin going out, Boss Qiu sighed deeply: Mother is shameless for asking for money, the expression of the second younger brother said that day, he will not give the family any more money.Mother wanted to toss away the last bit of affection her second brother had for the family.

Here Chen Shiquan went to hand over the silver, and Gu Qingya gave him five taels more, asking him to hand over Chen Sishu's as well.

When she came back, Chen Shiquan took back the money, saying that the fourth aunt would not let her use it, so she accumulated the money she had brought Xiaocao in the past two months and handed it over.

Gu Qingya knew that Chen Wang had this little money in her hands, but in this way, her fourth uncle really didn't have any money in her hands.

In this case, life will be difficult in the future.

The New Year is coming~~
