Chapter 80
Zhou Yiran looked at her and said, "Ma'am hasn't come back for a long time, maybe she wants to buy two catties of meat to be filial to grandma, right? I heard that aunt and uncle are doing business in the city, so they must have made a lot of money. The meat in our family is cheap. , I believe my aunt can afford two catties of meat."

When she said this, Chen Xuemei couldn't say anything.If you can't afford two catties of meat, wouldn't it be a joke for Zhang Jiawan.

"Okay, then buy two catties of meat."

Seeing the woman gnashing her teeth, she felt extremely happy, turned her head and made a trumpet shape with her hands, and shouted.

"Daniu, someone is here to buy meat."

Zhang Daniu, who was chopping bamboo behind, put down his machete and went back after hearing the sound.

Seeing her yelling like this, Chen Xuemei looked contemptuous, thinking that she was vulgar, she didn't look like someone from a wealthy family, and began to believe Liu Hua's words, maybe she was really pretending.

She turned her head and saw Chen Xuemei's disdainful eyes, but she didn't care because she was too lazy to argue with this kind of person.

When Zhang Daniu came back, he saw that she was grandma's daughter-in-law. In terms of seniority, he had to call her aunt, but he couldn't say it right now.

Walk in and ask, "How much meat do you want?"

"One"

"Two catties." Zhou Yiran said first.

Chen Xuemei held back, and nodded with a smirk: "Well, two catties."

Looking at the two of them, Zhang Daniu knew that it was his wife's fault. He went back to the kitchen, washed his hands, and took a knife to cut the meat.

"Here, your meat, a total of forty dollars."

Chen Xuemei saw that he counted money even if he weighed it, frowned and said: "Why don't you weigh it, what if there is less?"

"It will only be more, not less. If you don't believe me, you can weigh it." Zhang Daniu stared at her after finishing speaking.

Chen Xuemei took the meat, and reluctantly took out the money bag, and when she saw the five taels of silver in the bag, she took it out and gave it to him.

"I'm sorry, I don't have copper coins. I don't know if you can find this."

After Chen Xuemei finished speaking, Zhou Yiran laughed and said, "Ma'am, wait a moment, I'll give you some change."

She took the five taels of silver in Chen Xuemei's hand into the house.She was just about to exchange the silver in the box for the whole thing, and Chen Xuemei's doing this was just what she wanted.

Chen Xuemei looked at her and frowned.Could it be that she can find it?Like Zhang Daniu, if he has money, he will use it up, and since he just got married, and Liu Hua also said just now that this woman had a miscarriage, even if the family has some money, it should be used up.

After a while, Zhou Yiran came out, holding a pile of copper coins in her hands, not to mention, it was quite heavy.

She walked in front of Chen Xuemei, put 960 copper coins in her arms, and said at the same time: "Auntie, count and see if it's right."

Chen Xuemei looked at the copper coins in her arms, her face became a little ugly.When will so many be counted?He raised his head and looked at the big cows.

"Forget it, I believe you will not be short, so I won't count."

"That won't work, aunt, you have to count it. If you drop something when you go back, doesn't it mean that we gave you less, so you should count it, aunt! Then you can rest assured and so can I." Zhou Yiran pulled her back and said .

Who knows if this woman will deliberately say that she is short of money after she goes back, and she will come to find fault at that time. She can't explain everything clearly, so it's better to count it face to face.

Chen Xuemei felt that she must have done it on purpose, she was not angry, if she was angry she would appear petty.

"Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about." Chen Xuemei kept smiling and planned to leave after speaking.

However, Zhou Yiran just refused to let her go, blocked her way, and said earnestly: "Ma'am, just count it! Just now you were worried that my big beef cut the meat into two catties, so let's count it. Madam, take it as kindness. You didn’t make much money in the first place, if you said you didn’t make much money later, wouldn’t it be hard for us to argue.”

After saying this, Chen Xuemei's expression changed, and she said, "Daniu daughter-in-law, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person?"

Seeing that she was angry, Zhou Yiran immediately showed a pitiful look, hid behind Daniu, and then whispered: "I have no other intentions, just want to feel at ease. After all, my family is poor and cannot stand the trouble."

"You..." Chen Xuemei looked at her like this, and then looked at Zhang Daniu protecting her. She felt as if she had bullied Daniel's wife. She was so angry that she couldn't speak, and finally she could only compromise, saying: "Okay, I'll count."

Put the meat on the table, and then began to count the money, in order to reassure Daniel's daughter-in-law, she counted aloud.

"one two Three."

Zhang Daniu watched Chen Xuemei count the money, and looked down at the lady beside him.

Seeing him looking at her, Zhou Yiran smiled at him and blinked her beautiful big eyes.

Zhang Daniu glanced at her and scratched her nose with his hand.

Knowing that she was seen through by him, Zhou Yiran smiled and said nothing, turned to look at the aunt who was counting the money, thinking it was quite amusing.

"Three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand"

"Wait, shouldn't 99 be followed by [-]?" Zhou Yiran immediately corrected her.

Chen Xuemei was also dizzy from counting, nodded and said: "It's four thousand, forget it, I won't count, no matter if it's more or less, I swear I really won't come to you."

After listening to Chen Xuemei's words, she raised her eyebrows: "This is what you said, aunt. If you lose money by then, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to count."

Looking at her wicked smile, Chen Xuemei began to feel uncertain again, maybe there is really little money here.

After thinking for a long time, she swallowed, lowered her head and continued to count the money.

Seeing Chen Xuemei like this, she laughed.He said he didn't care, but what was he doing?People like this still do business, hehe, most of them lose their business.

When Zhang Zhihui came back from the vegetable field, he didn't see his wife, so he went into the house and asked his wife.

"Mother, where did Xuemei go?"

"Where is your daughter-in-law going? How would your mother know? Someone else's daughter-in-law was serving her mother-in-law. Why did she come to my place? The daughter-in-law ran away without a trace. She probably waited for my old bone to serve her. Wife, when you leave Why don't you take them all away, why is my life so hard, as the saying goes, a son and a daughter make a good life, but here the daughters are not filial, what's wrong with that!"

Zhang Zhihui also felt uncomfortable when he heard his mother's words.

Go over and go to the front of my old lady.

"Mother, I know that I have done wrong these years, but mother, you have to be considerate. It is not easy. In order to let the child study hard and get the number one exam in the future, Xuemei and I get up early and work late. We never have a day off, but business If you don’t do well, you can make ends meet. Mom, you also know that the things you use for reading are expensive. It’s not that I’m not filial, but because I’m powerless, and I really don’t have the face to come back. If I hadn’t been forced and helpless this time, I wouldn’t have come back. Looking for a mother, you want that jade pendant." Zhang Zhihui began to cry as he spoke.

Seeing her son crying in her teens made her feel uncomfortable, but she felt that these were not reasons.

With cloudy eyes, she looked at the son in front of her and said, "Son, mother doesn't care if you give money or not, mother just wants you to go home often to see me, an immortal, the city is not far from here, You can get there in a day's time on the road. I don't want you to come back to see me, but during the Chinese New Year, are you really too busy to come back? Son, you feel your conscience and tell your mother that you are really too busy to come back. Come?"

Zhang Zhihui stopped talking and lowered his head.

Seeing him like this, Grandma knew the answer, smiled sadly, and said: "You guys go! This is for you, and I will treat you as if I don't have a son like you in the future."

Zhang Zhihui raised his head and looked at the jade pendant in his mother's hand, but he didn't take it for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't pick up, Grandma said with a dark face, "Why? Isn't this what you want? Take the things and leave, don't eat this lunch."

Zhang Zhihui, who was going to pick it up, didn't dare to pick it up after hearing this.He was afraid that after accepting it, his mother would really not recognize him as a son.

"Mom, I don't want it anymore, you put it away." Zhang Zhihui pushed the things back.

Grandma has already decided, give him something, let him go now, so as not to look upset.

"Take it, let's go now."

Zhang Zhihui shook his head, took two steps back, and said, "I don't want it."

After speaking, he turned around and left the room, and then went out to find his wife.

As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw my wife came back, thinking about what my old lady said just now, I was furious, and yelled at Chen Xuemei: "Where did you go, why can't you just stay at home and clean this house?"

Chen Xuemei was dumbfounded by his yelling, because she was not very smart at counting the money just now, so she was still dumbfounded after being yelled at by Zhang Zhihui.

Seeing that she was still sticking, Zhang Zhihui became impatient, and when he saw the meat in her hand, he became even angrier.

"If you don't eat meat for a day, you will die. You don't know what's going on with us now. You still want to eat meat, and you will die, fat woman."

This time Chen Xuemei got angry too, and quarreled with Zhang Zhihui at the door.

"Zhang Zhihui, did you eat feces in your mouth? Well, why are you yelling at me? Did I provoke you? Also, what happened to my buying meat? Didn't I just see why we don't have meat at home, maybe you come back once , and made your mother a vegetarian? I did something bad with good intentions, if you think I’m wrong, I’ll return the meat, and I’ll still serve you.”

After speaking, he turned around and planned to return the meat.

After Zhang Zhihui listened to Chen Xuemei's words, he immediately pulled her back.

"Okay, I've bought all the meat, and I'm sending it back. What will people think of us?"

"No, this meat must be returned, lest someone say that I am greedy for delicious food, and then give me the whole delicious food, and I will not take the blame for it." Then he broke his hand.

Zhang Zhihui knew that she was suffocating with him, so he immediately apologized: "Xuemei, I was wrong, okay, let's go home."

Fortunately, there is no one at this time, or else I will lose my life.

Seeing that he had apologized, Chen Xuemei calmed down a little, and threw the flesh in his arms.

"You cook at noon."

As he spoke, he pushed him through the door.

Knowing that she was still angry, Zhang Zhihui went in with the meat and walked to the kitchen.

After Chen Xuemei entered, she went into the room, looked at the mother-in-law in the room, and walked over to sit in front of her.
