Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 136

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, shopkeeper Feng came to see it in person. A total of [-] pairs of gloves were completed, most of which were for men.

He checked a few pairs and was very satisfied, "Everyone is satisfied with what Xiuyao and Guifang have done. Okay, let's take these two hundred pairs first. This is the money for two hundred pairs."

He took out two slings of money, and another string, a total of [-] Wen, the price agreed before.After calculating the wages, shopkeeper Feng took out another bunch and handed it to Xiuyao, "This is six hundred dollars, which is reserved for emergencies." He knew that they paid by the day, and they had to hire someone to rub their eyes, For spinning and turning threads, you should have some money in hand, as long as the total amount is right.

Xiuyao didn't refuse either, since they were doing things for the Feng family anyway, they wouldn't take an extra copper.

Because the female workers' money was settled on a daily basis, this money belonged to Xiuyao and Zhang Guifang, and the rest was kept in the cash box for the female workers' wages.

For two hundred pairs, Xiuyao got a commission of [-] Wen. In addition, Liu Shi and Xiuqin have been knitting gloves, and each has money to get.

Although Zhang Guifang only had [-] essays, she was very happy, after all, it was for nothing.She only cared about helping Xiuyao find someone, taking care of the people, and those who kept the fire and water for cooking would get free money, and there was also seven cents a day for firewood and oil lamps.

After taking so much money at once, Liu's hands trembled a little, after all, it was earned by his own family.After receiving the money, Mrs. Liu went home first, put the money in a small wooden box with a lock, and then hid it in a clean and unused toilet as usual, and put the toilet in the corner.

After tidying up, she continued to do her work, only to see someone pushing the door open.

It turned out to be Qin Dafu and Qin Xian, they were carrying the bedding, Qin Xian was carrying a piece of fish and a piece of meat in his hand, Qin Dafu was holding a mat between them.

Liu Shi was surprised: "Why are you back now? Didn't you say that you will be sixteen?"

Seeing this, Qin Xian was a little unhappy. He felt that his mother thought he was coming back, so he curled his lips, greeted him sullenly, and entered the room.Qin Dafu smiled and said: "Mother asked my third brother to call me, saying that there is something at home, and let me come back to discuss it. What's the matter at home?" Qin Dafu said, handed things to Mrs. Liu, and asked: "Eh, Where are the girls? Why are you not at home?"

Liu said: "I went to Qiangzi's house to help."

Qin Xian asked: "Is there any money to be made by helping?"

Mrs. Liu hummed, "Yes, I just got paid today. Have you eaten yet? I'll make it for you."

Qin Dafu said: "We came back from eating, mother said to go over after we got back, let's go, go and have a look."

Qin Xian passed by first.

Liu Shi said: "You go, I still have something to do here, I have to go to help, I can't let others delay the work." She said in a low voice: "If your mother talks about changing relatives, you should be careful. Yeah. I won't agree to change marriages. Xiuqin's marriage is Xiuqin's, and the big business is the big business. We are saving money, and the conditions of our big business are not bad. I will definitely be a good wife. You go Bar."

Saying that, she left in a hurry.

Qin Dafu looked at her back and scratched his head, he really looked like he was working, so busy.Thinking about it this way, women also make a lot of money, even in winter.

He saw that the sky was a little gloomy, so he quickly packed up the drying grass and carried it into the house, so as not to catch the fire in the snow and not ignite the grass.After tidying up, he went into the house again, opened and took stock of the things he had brought back, took out two packets of snacks and a bag of candy, and took them to his parents.

When Qin Dafu passed by, Mrs. Zhang was pulling Qin Xian to talk in the room. He yelled twice before Mrs. Zhang came out. Seeing that Dafu had brought something, she happily took it and put it away.

Qin Dafu went to the kang and sat down, Mrs. Zhang came out from the inner room, exchanged some pleasantries, asked about the old Chen's family in Hengwan Village, and after chatting for a few words, Mrs. Zhang asked, "What about his mother, why didn't you come?"

Qin Dafu smiled and said: "I'm busy helping others, let's go tonight."

Mrs. Zhang sneered: "Oh, you don't know, that daughter-in-law of yours has become arrogant. She doesn't come home all day, and it's still night. I can't find her in the middle of the night. If I see her, I have to see her like an official wife." , I have to deliver the post."

Qin Dafu laughed and said, "Mother can really talk."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "You simple and honest child, there are so many people in our family, you and Daye are the only ones who are honest and honest, and have no heart at all. Take good care of your wife, don't let her bully you to the end once you divide the family superior."

Qin Dafu said hehe: "Mother, how could it be, your eldest daughter-in-law will be fine."

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, "You have a solid eye. Let me ask you, what are you going to do with Xiuqin and Daye's marriage?"

Qin Dafu said: "Mother, take your time, Xiuqin is easy to find someone. If Daye is concerned, our family is poorer now. Anyway, he is still young, and it is not too late to get married at the age of 20. In two years, our family's conditions will be better. He is only seventeen, there are three or four years left, don't worry."

Mrs. Zhang sneered: "Three or four years? Do you think you can get rich in three or four years? Our family has said that it will be fine in two years since you got married, and it will be fine in two years. It has been decades , okay? I can't even afford to eat."

Qin Dafu closed his mouth and remained silent.

Mrs. Zhang said: "I think that's the way to do it. The old She's family in Shiheng Village has a good family background, a good-looking daughter, a lot of dowry, and ten acres of land accompanied by them. There are also household items, the clothes of the daughter, the bedding, what came here?" There is no need to buy it, we just earn a daughter-in-law for nothing. What's wrong?"

Qin Dafu asked, "What about Xiuqin?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "Xiuqin is easier to say. They give all their property to their sons. How can they treat their daughter-in-law badly? They understand that we don't have money to buy a dowry, and the dowry is [-] cents, so we can do whatever we want. Xiuqin just waits for her to go." Take charge of the house directly, and when you have a child, the old lady will hand over all the things in the house to her, and the old couple will not care about anything. What's wrong with that?"

Qin Dafu murmured: "Mother, have you asked clearly if there is anything wrong with that son?"

Mrs. Zhang said displeased: "Your elder sister can still harm the child. I should have found out earlier. This is a matter of your elder sister's mother-in-law. The child has a slight epilepsy, not serious."

When Qin Dafu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It's hard to tell from the outside whether the illness is serious or not.Besides, people generally don't like to talk about such things, even if they say it, it's light.I'm afraid there may be other things besides epilepsy.

Seeing his hesitation, Mrs. Zhang said, "You don't know who your elder sister and her mother-in-law are. You have to be strong. You just need to rest assured that she is doing things. She keeps asking inside and out. That person looks good. She has a good temper and is in good health, there is nothing wrong with her, but she is a little epileptic, so if she doesn’t want to look around, she asks someone to inquire from afar.”

Qin Dafu said: "Mother, you don't want to be with Xiuqin's mother..."

"Ms. Xiuqin, Mrs. Xiuqin, you know Mrs. Xiuqin, I'm still your mother! Do you still have my own mother in your heart? Is it possible that I can't speak well? Is it better than your daughter-in-law?" Zhang Shi was angry, the elder son was getting more and more outrageous, he really forgot his mother when he had a daughter-in-law.No, he just forgot about his mother when he separated from the family, and only thought about living his own life without caring about everyone else. It's really annoying.

Qin Dafu hurriedly apologized and said: "Mother, don't be angry, that's not what I mean. I'm talking about the marriage of children, after all, it's a big deal. You have to be satisfied with everything, where is my father? I'll go to the cellar to have a look. My father, by the way, ask him what he means." Saying this, he was about to get off the kang.

Mrs. Zhang pressed him down, "What are you looking at, your father is busy. That's it, you just nodded, right?"

Qin Dafu straightened his head stiffly, as if afraid of nodding, "Mother, I have to ask Xiuqin and Daye."

"Fart!" Zhang scolded: "The marriage of children has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I agree, and you can just nod. Tomorrow, I will ask Sanshun to talk to your eldest sister. They quickly settled down, don't let others pick up such a good thing."

Qin Dafu wanted to quarrel, Zhang immediately said impatiently: "Okay, you are becoming more and more disobedient and filial."

When they were told that they were not filial, especially their own mothers, the men became a little sluggish and had no temper at all.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Qin Dafu was silent, and said: "There is another thing I need to tell you, the Zhou family wants Xiuyao to help, and they will give you two slings a month."

Qin Dafu said happily when he heard it: "Mother, what can Xiuyao do, give so much money?"

Zhang said: "Isn't she able to read a few words? She read with the young master."

Qin Dafu laughed and said: "Mother, how can such a thing happen, and you are still reading with me, Xiuyao is just a little girl. Don't make a mistake."

Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice and said: "What's wrong, I tell you that there is nothing wrong with it. Our old Qin's family pointed at Xiuyao. Xiuyao has gone, hold that little fat man in his hand, and make him obedient , when the time comes, his Zhou family will be ours."

Qin Dafu looked at her in confusion, "Mother, I don't understand."

Mrs. Zhang was anxious, "You silly child, why don't you understand. Let me tell you, you don't have to tell your wife when you go back, just take Xiuyao there. As long as Xiuyao enters the door, she is very popular." It's hot, I'm going to enjoy the Qingfu. Hurry up, go to Zhou Qiang's house and find Xiuyao, and send it to him as soon as possible."

Qin Dafu frowned, "Mother, what is this and what is it, why are you so confused. If Uncle Zhou's family is looking for a companion to read, of course they are looking for a kid who can read. Erxian is fine too."

Mrs. Zhang roared: "He wants Xiuyao, let me tell you, it's Zhou Xiaoli's son, fat man Zhou."

"What?" Qin Dafu was completely stunned, and looked at his mother in disbelief. Isn't she crazy to let Xiuyao go to that family to be a girl?Even if he hadn't sold himself to be a helper, it was impossible to go to his house, and he said that the whole Zhou family would belong to the Qin family in the future. Is this a daydream and a madman?

Qin Dafu turned around and left, "Mother, I didn't hear what you said, did you discuss it with my father? I'll ask my father."

Mrs. Zhang was anxious, and grabbed him, "You silly boy, how could you tell your father, what's the use of your father's temper, being so stubborn?"

Qin Dafu was about to cry, "Mom, who do you think gave you such a flirty idea!"

Mrs. Zhang scolded: "Nonsense, what a coquettish idea, let me tell you. It's not for Xiuyao to suffer, but to enjoy the blessings. You don't know, that little fat man from the Zhou family doesn't know what's wrong, so he has his eyes on us." Xiuyao, if you want Xiuyao to stay at home as a companion, looking for life and death, the Zhou family is embarrassed, so they find someone to talk to each other, saying that as long as Xiuyao goes, she will be raised as a young lady, and she will pay two slings of money every month. Besides, I Let me tell you, maybe there will be good things when I grow up."

When Qin Dafu heard this, he turned around and walked out without saying a word.It just so happened that the third aunt and the second aunt had been eavesdropping in the main room below, and when Qin Dafu came out, none of them checked, and the three of them almost bumped into each other.

Qin Dafu was full of embarrassment, he covered his face repeatedly and hurriedly avoided and left.

The third aunt was so anxious that she couldn't care less, she grabbed him, "Brother, brother, listen to what my mother has to say."

Qin Dafu said: "I still have something to do, I have to go back first." Said he hurriedly left, he really wanted to say no loudly to Mrs Zhang, but as a son, he couldn't yell at his mother.He has always felt that Mrs. Zhang's heart for him is the same as his heart for his children. He also knows that his mother is for his own good, so he can't shout, but he really can't agree, so he can only run away.

Qin Dafu left, Qin Xian came out from the room, and Mrs. Zhang scolded: "Look at your father, what has your mother instigated him into? Let Xiuyao go to Zhou's house, I can bear it, what else can she not do?" Forbearance? If you have money, you can go to school, and in the future, you can also take the exam to be a scholar, which is also a matter of glory. Your mother is really elm-headed, and she just said that we are old-fashioned."

The third aunt also persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry." She said to Qin Xian again: "Er Xian, I was discussing with your mother and second lady before, or we can pool money for you to study."

The second aunt also sneered and said, "Sister-in-law is really biased. Is it possible that Er Xian is not older than Yang Yang? I think Er Xian is better at studying, so I must ask Yang Yang to study at his grandma's house and not let Er Xian stay."

The third aunt sighed and said: "Second sister-in-law, you don't know what the sister-in-law is thinking. The sister-in-law is afraid that Yang Yang will be at home, and our mother will always call, so Yangyang and mother will not kiss the sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is very shrewd. If the family is separated, Yang Yang will be sent to her mother's house and not allowed to come back, because she has a problem with her mother and she is not allowed to see her little grandson."

Zhang's face was gloomy, and he snorted heavily.

The third aunt winked at the second aunt triumphantly, if Xiuyao went to Zhou's house, it would only be good for them, and of course it wouldn't be bad for them not to go.And she would be more happy to let her in-laws and the big house fall out.

If it's not beneficial, why didn't she separate out and insist on living with such a mother-in-law with a cramp in her mind?The third aunt thought coldly, the more unstable the big house was, the happier she was.
