Chapter 34 Supplemental Nutrition
"Mother, what can I do for you?" Fang Cuiwei stood aside with lowered eyebrows, waiting for the old lady to ask her a question.

The old lady drank a bowl of tea, raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean, I can't find you if I have nothing to do."

Hearing the displeasure in the old lady's tone, Fang Cuiwei only felt a little tingling in her scalp, and quickly shook her head to explain, "Daughter-in-law doesn't mean that."

The old lady rolled her eyes, and put the tea bowl aside, "What are the uncles of Duo'er and the others doing here today?" The old lady felt that it was very strange for the Fang family to come at such a busy time. Could it be that Fang What did the family hear?
"The parents at home are thinking of some grandchildren, so my brother stopped by here to have a look." Fang Cuiwei said neither humble nor overbearing.

The old lady looked at her suspiciously, looked at her but said nothing, and told her to go back and rest.After Fang Cuiwei left, the old lady went to the back room, and said to Mr. Tong: "I think today's matter is very strange. When will the Fang family not come, but come at this time? Could it be that they heard something about the fourth daughter-in-law? ..." The meaning of what the old lady said was that the people from the Fang family came here to vent their anger on the fourth daughter-in-law.

Old Master Tong was a little displeased, and said, "Even if the fourth daughter-in-law has told the Fang family about this matter, can the Fang family still intervene in our Tong family's affairs?"

The old lady nodded, and heard Mr. Tong say: "I don't think the fourth daughter-in-law and her eldest brother have any intention of making trouble, he is a sensible person, and he also helped plant peanuts this afternoon, so don't think about it anymore. "

"Hey," the old lady replied, and seeing that Mr. Tong's brows were a little tired, she went to the kitchen to bring in the hot water and wait for Mr. Tong to wash his feet.

Elder Tong sat upright on the rumor, seeing his daughter-in-law washing his feet seriously, he couldn't help but think of the details of the years of marriage, and his voice became gentle, "You should go to bed earlier. "

This was the first time since the quarrel that Mr. Tong was gentle with the old lady. The old lady was flattered and nodded repeatedly.

In Tong Zhixin's yard where the lights were also turned off, Fang Cuiwei lying on the bed couldn't sleep. She thought about how the old lady whispered bad things about Fang Dalin today, and how angry she was.

My brother kindly helped Tong's family grow peanuts, why did the old lady say that?The elder brother took care of her and didn't have an attack, but he must be feeling bad in his heart.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Tong Zhixin, who was in a daze, felt movement beside him, and said in a low voice.

Fang Cuiwei turned over and said in a muffled voice: "Brother missed the work of farming at home today, but he will make up for the time you missed in the afternoon, mother, how can she say that about brother?" ?”

"What did Mother say?" Tong Zhixin was startled, and his drowsiness dissipated a bit.

Fang Cuiwei then told him what happened that night.

Tong Zhixin frowned, looked at his daughter-in-law distressedly, hugged her in his arms, and whispered: "Mother, she has such a temper. When I turn around, I will go to the children's and their uncle's house with you to replace her." Mother, please accompany him."

"Ah."

Tong Zhi'er, who was sleeping inside, heard the voice of the two getting quieter, and thought to himself: Tong Zhixin is actually a very wise man.

The moon disappears, the morning dew rises, and a new day begins again.

When Mr. Tong took a group of young and old to plant peanuts in the field, he didn't expect that a big event would happen.When Tong Zhiming came out of the house, he accidentally fell to the ground, hit his head on a rock, and fell unconscious, scaring the old man and the old lady half to death.He hurriedly invited a doctor, who said that he was overworked and could not keep up with his nutrition. After a few days of rest and some good food, he could go to the field.

As soon as she heard that the boss was fine, the old lady let go of her hanging heart.

Mr. Tong then took Tong Zhide, Tong Zhixin and others to the field, and Tong Zhaofu, who was running errands, was left at home.

"Mother, the doctor said that his father needs to eat some good Cui'er to get well. You see..." After Mr. Tong and others left, Mrs. Lin looked at the old lady in embarrassment and said.

"You want me to kill the chickens in the yard?" The old lady glared at Mrs. Lin and said in a very aggressive tone.

Mrs. Lin waved her hands again and again, "Mother, how dare my daughter-in-law, these chickens are the treasures of the family, and my daughter-in-law would never dare to pay attention to them. It's just that Tweety's father is lying on the bed now, and it's really impossible not to eat some good ones, mother. See if you can give me some money so that my wife can buy fish for Tweety's father..."

Lin's subsequent words gradually swallowed back into her stomach as the old lady's face became more and more ugly.However, I was very excited in my heart. Everyone knows that in this family, the old lady has three things that are most precious. No one can touch these three things. scale.One is the youngest son of the old lady, Tong Zhiyi; the other is the laying hens raised in the yard of Tong's family; the third is the money saved by the old lady.

The old lady gritted her teeth with hatred for Mrs. Lin, the eldest daughter-in-law dared to take advantage of her money!

In addition, the old lady also hated the "useless" Tong Zhiming, and said in a bad tone: "Whatever fish to buy, just go to the river and catch a few."

Didn't hear the answer she wanted, Lin's heart panicked, but her face was calm, and hesitantly said: "Mother, I'm a woman, where have I crossed the river or touched fish..."

This means that he still wants to play her money!
Immediately, the old lady felt a little disgusted with her eldest daughter-in-law who usually flattered her.

"Ah Fu, go to the field and call your older sisters. Today, you little ones don't have to grow peanuts, and help your uncle go to the river to catch some fish and come back to replenish your health."

Want them to catch fish?However, it is not the rainy season yet, how can there be any fish in the river?Isn't it difficult for the old lady to force others?

"Grandma, at this time, there are no fish to be caught in the river." Tong Zhaofu said crisply.

When the old lady heard it, her brows were wrinkled, uglier than earthworms.

However, it is absolutely impossible for her to pay the money.

The last time Tong Zhi'er was ill, Mr. Tong asked her to give Tong Zhixin a consistent amount of money, which already caused her heart to bleed. If she used money to make up for the boss this time, it would be to cut her flesh with a knife.And in the future, the whole family, young and old, would ask her to pay for anything, and what she had saved over the years would not be able to withstand the toss.

If there is one, there will be two, she doesn't want to work hard, and the money she saved is gone!
"Okay, okay, when the hen in the yard lays eggs, you can use them to make up for the boss." In the end, the old lady said.

Lin was unwilling, thought for a while, and said: "Mother, Cui'er's father is so tired and can't keep up with his nutrition. It's the busy season of farming, and the whole family will go to the fields. They will work for a day and eat in the morning. Order porridge and steamed buns, it’s about noon and night, what if everyone collapses? I thought, I’d like to buy some fish back, not only Cui’er’s father can make up for his health, but also father and several uncles and nephews. Yes, it can also replenish the body."
