Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 35 Disgrace
The two brothers Dalang and Erlang were looking forward to hearing that the younger sister said that they could go to school by themselves.They had also seen him from afar, the only boy in the village who was studying in the town.At that time, when they saw him walking slowly and elegantly, and then looked at themselves like a mud monkey, they felt very inferior and envious at the same time.

Now I hear my sister say that maybe I can go to school, and I can become as elegant as that boy in the future, so that other children in the village can envy them.

And what the younger sister said is right, after reading the book, they will be able to gain fame and make their parents feel honored.Both of them were a little excited, so they looked at Mrs. Li expectantly.

Seeing the appearance of the three brothers and sisters in front of her, Mrs. Li couldn't say the words of refusal, besides, she herself was also moved by the little girl's words.

Therefore, Mrs. Li said with a somewhat moved expression: "Well, let me find a chance to talk to your father about the separation of the family, and see how he reacts? But you all have to remember , without your father's consent, you can't go out and talk about these things. If your grandparents find out, we are discussing the separation of the family in private, and there will definitely be another row, and the consequences will be more serious. .”

The three brothers and sisters naturally understood Li's worries, so they all nodded and said: "Understood, I will definitely not say it in front of others." Then, they all had happy faces, looking forward to a better life after the separation.

Lin Xiaoxi, who had been guarding the door and keeping watch for them, heard the looseness in Li Shi's words, ran over and hugged Li Shi, and said in multiple voices: "Mother, you are so kind! We are all looking forward to it. The family is going to be separated! Mom, you have to talk to our father carefully, you must convince our father, don't let us down..."

Mrs. Li looked at her sons and daughters, all of them looked expectant, her heart was a little sour, but also a little firm...

In this room, the members of the Li family are in the husband and wife's room, secretly discussing the important matter of family separation. In the other room, in the main room, old man Li is being forced by the Zhou family to flush his face, speechless and unable to come down. stage...

In other words, this Zhou family is really top-notch.This story still has to start with Mr. Lin's polite meal... Since Mr. Lin has always been a face-saving person, he saw that the second daughter-in-law's natal father never came to the house when he had nothing to do, but today he mentioned a lot of things. When he came, he asked his second son to buy some meat, so that he could prepare a decent meal for the guests.

But Mrs. Zhou has always disliked her second daughter-in-law, and Japan is a penny-pinching master, so how can she spend money to buy meat for cooking?From the very beginning, she never thought of keeping old man Li for dinner.

So, when Li Shi and Lin Xiaoqiao stepped into the main room, they saw their own father standing in front of Zhou Shi with a face full of embarrassment, but Zhou Shi looked at the old man Li with a flattering smile on his face. Scenes.

It turned out that Lin Erniu saw that his father-in-law seldom came to the house, so he had long wanted to keep him for dinner, so when he heard Mr. Lin's order, he rushed out excitedly, ran to Mrs. Zhou, and stretched out his hand to ask him for money. buy meat.

However, the Zhou family had no intention of keeping old man Li for dinner, so he was about to refuse to give the money.But he rolled his eyes again, and suddenly thought of the bullock cart that old man Li had driven over and the new cotton clothes on his two granddaughters, plus the pile of things that old man Li brought over this time when he came to the door, which didn't look cheap. All the signs indicated that old man Li's family must be rich.

So, as soon as he turned his footsteps, he rushed into the main room regardless of Lin Erniu who followed behind and asked him for money to buy meat.

At this time, Mr. Lin was chatting with Mr. Li about the crops in the field, and the two chatted quite vigorously.

Mrs. Zhou didn't care about it, and ran to the old man Li, like singing an opera, and said a lot of inexplicable words: "Oh, my in-law's bull is so handsome, it seems that my in-law has really made a fortune." Well, I’m here to congratulate you! It’s rare for the in-laws to come to the door. It stands to reason that we should prepare a decent meal no matter what, but the in-laws don’t know. There are more than a dozen people in our Lin family. But now I can't get rid of the pot, the family has no money, and I can't even afford two taels of meat. What should I do?" He said with tears in his eyes.

Old man Li was confused by this, and didn't know what to do for a while.Mrs. Zhou couldn't tolerate him being in a daze, but she still pointed and squeezed out a few taels of silver from old man Li, so she went on to say: "Master, your two grandsons haven't tasted meat for several months." Well, today, while you are here, why don't we buy some meat for them to taste, and we can also enjoy some of it, right?" Then he stretched out his hand in front of Old Man Li, looking like he wanted to The money is what it should be.

Old man Li didn't know what she meant at this time, but he never had the habit of carrying money with him for no reason, so it was very embarrassing to sit there.

Old man Li looked at Mrs. Zhou, and vowed not to give up if he couldn’t get the money, so he could only hang his neck, and said embarrassedly: "Grandma, I didn’t bring any money with me when I went out today. Look..." The words were very embarrassing and somewhat helpless.

When Mrs. Zhou first heard Mr. Li say that he didn't bring any money, his first reaction was to not believe it. He felt in his heart that Mr. Li must be stingy and didn't want to take out the money.However, after seeing that Old Man Li's waist was empty, not even a cloth bag, he was somewhat skeptical.

So, Mrs. Zhou looked at old man Li with rather suspicious eyes and said, "What should we do? Why don't we stop eating meat today? The master in-law told us, what's wrong with your family? If you get rich, let’s follow suit. If we earn money, our family will not be so poor, so we can buy some meat for your two grandchildren.” After finishing speaking, he looked at Old Man Li with expectant eyes look.

Old man Li listened to Mrs. Zhou, talking about his two grandsons, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, but said with a smile: "My grandma is joking, we Is there any way for the family to make a fortune? It is still a shabby house, and there are not many acres of fields."

How could Mrs. Zhou believe it, she murmured in her heart: This dead old man is really shameless, and he keeps using useless words to perfuse me!snort!If he didn't get rich, where did he get the cattle?And what's the matter with the new clothes on those two stinky girls?Is it still not possible to snatch it?She can't be fooled by these two words, she has to find out something from Old Man Li today no matter what!No matter how bad it is, I have to scrape off a layer of oil from him.
