Chapter 32 Really think she is a soft persimmon?
Some old man and old lady wandering around saw the three members of the Cao family gathered together to gossip, and asked, "What's going on in the Cao family? His family never stops all day long."

Just as the person next to him was about to agree, Zhao Qingshan's old lady rushed over when she heard the sound. She grinned and laughed a few times, then pinched her waist proudly and said, "You don't know yet, the Cao family The Chen Family Orchard has been bought, and my son is now the manager of the orchard, and his wages have been increased by [-]%. This kid is also a filial man, and he is urging to buy me a silver hairpin to wear at the end of the year." Saying this, She stretched out her hand to gather her thin white hair again, as if the shiny silver hairpin had been inserted into the back of her head, and then said very "modestly", "Tell me, I'm already old, how can I still wear it?" Have the thought of dressing up."

Her original intention was to show off her son's ability to the villagers, but unfortunately, the villagers had no intention of supporting her after hearing such great news, they had already started talking about it.

"The Cao family bought the Chen family's orchard? Is it true?"

"That's right. I heard that the Chen family offered more than 100 taels of silver. When did the Cao family save so much silver?"

"Old man Cao worked as a long-term worker for a wealthy family in the early years. Did he make a fortune at that time and kept it secret?"

Mrs. Zhao felt very annoyed at being excluded by everyone, but she was not easy to get angry, so she curled her lips and yelled, "You all guessed wrong, my Qingshan said that the orchard was bought by the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and it has nothing to do with the Cao family. "

"Daughter-in-law of the Cao family? Sister Rong?" Aunt Liu, who lives next door to the Cao family, rolled her eyes when she heard this. Xin Xin, on the pretext that there is still work at home, decisively withdrew from the crowd.

She knew in her heart that Cao's daughter-in-law was definitely capable.Don't talk about others, only my son and daughter-in-law follow her to do things in the city, and she can get back more than two taels of silver in a month, not to mention those japonica rice and fine noodles.People, you have to know how to be grateful when you are alive. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the Cao family is going to make a fuss.She has to go home quickly and listen to the wall. If Sister Rong suffers, she has to help her even if she tries to tear herself apart with Mrs. Cao.

The second sister Cao got new embroidery threads and fabrics from her sister-in-law a few days ago, as well as some snacks, and she was very happy.In addition, there were more fine grains and sliced ​​meat on the dining table at home than before, and her frail body gradually gained some strength, and her complexion gradually turned from pale to rosy.The weather was fine today, and she walked out of the room to talk with her father who was weaving wicker baskets when she was happy.

Old man Cao was overjoyed to see his daughter getting better. He held back tears and told her to take good care of her and marry a good family in the future. He also fulfilled his wish.Second Sister Cao lowered her head in shame, feeling very guilty for making her father worry so much.

This is really rare filial piety, the atmosphere in the small courtyard is extremely warm and harmonious.It's a pity that at this moment, Dong Rong and Zhu Zi broke in with the cursing Mrs. Cao.The second sister Cao was so startled that she almost dropped the embroidery needle in her hand. The old man also frowned and stood up and asked, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Mrs. Cao shook off her son and daughter-in-law's hand fiercely, grabbed the old man in a few steps, and cried, "Old man, you have to be fair today. You don't know, Zhu Zi and this prodigal daughter-in-law have long since lost their eyes. We are now parents..."

Old man Cao became a little impatient after hearing what the old woman said for a long time before he got to the point. He gave her a hard look and then turned to Dong Rong and asked, "Sister Rong, tell me, what happened?"

Dong Rong had already planned the way, and after hearing this, she quickly pretended to be half guilty and half anxious, and replied in a low voice, "Father, it's all my fault to say this. Yesterday, my parents promised me to use the Lord's house to reward me." I bought some dowry with my silver. I thought about the cloth and jewelry. These things are dead things, and they can’t regenerate silver if they are stored in a box. It’s better to buy some land, and there will be income every year. It happens that the Chen family’s orchard is resold, so I am bold enough to buy it. I came down. I was planning to come back at noon to tell my parents, but I didn’t want my mother to rush over when she heard the villagers talking about it. I was afraid that if I couldn’t explain it for a while, it would make my mother make a noise and let the villagers see the joke, so I just Together with Zhuzi, I brought my mother back."

Although old man Cao usually doesn't like to chat with others, he has heard of Chen's orchard asking more than 100 taels.Now that his daughter-in-law is so generous and bought it as soon as she said it, he was really surprised, and he didn't answer for a while.

On the other hand, Second Sister Cao was simple-minded and didn't think too much. She clapped her hands and laughed, "Ah, my sister-in-law bought an orchard! After that, will I have a lot of fruit to eat, so I can go to see the peach blossom next spring?"

Dong Rong really loved her innocent sister-in-law, and she took her hand and responded straightforwardly, "Of course, when the fruit is ripe, let your brother carry you to the orchard, and we will sit under the fruit tree and eat while picking."

Second Sister Cao pictured the happy harvest scene in her heart, and she shouted with joy, "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, you can't lie to me."

"What are you doing to lie to you? If you really want to go, you can go to the orchard for a day when you get stronger."

Seeing their sister-in-law talking loudly, Mrs. Cao jumped in anger, pointed at Dong Rong and cursed, "You little fox, you can't stop fooling your parents-in-law, but you don't even let your sister-in-law off. You earned so much money in the city , did not leave it to the family to keep, but bought the orchard after changing hands, do you still have elders in your eyes?"

Dong Rong frowned slightly, and replied lightly, "Mother, I earned the money to buy the orchard, and you and father also agreed that I would use the money to buy the dowry. Then what to buy is naturally up to me. .”

"Fart!" Granny Cao was so angry that she spat out how far the stars spewed out. She was salivating at a few taels of silver a month, but she couldn't eat and sleep well. Today, she suddenly heard that she made a mistake and let go more than 100 taels. She was almost annoyed. Crazy, "You didn't say how much money you earned at all. You sincerely planned to cheat the family and take it for yourself! If you are sensible, hurry up and return the orchard, and bring the money back to me, otherwise... Otherwise, I will let Zhuzi Divorce you!"

Dong Rong wiped the spittle off her face viciously, feeling extremely disgusted in her heart, her complexion inevitably sank, and she asked in a cold voice, "Mother doesn't think this is too much? I've already gone to the county government office to register, and the orchard has been withdrawn." It's gone."

Second Sister Cao heard her sister-in-law arguing with her mother, and she was so anxious that she really liked this capable and kind sister-in-law.She cautiously stepped forward and tugged on the old lady's sleeve, and persuaded, "Mother, since the money earned by sister-in-law's work, you can let her make the decision. My sister-in-law is very filial, and the income from the orchard will definitely not be short of family expenses... ..."

"You damn girl, what do you know!" Mrs. Cao was so distressed that she heard her daughter pleading for her daughter-in-law, so she pushed her away without thinking.Not wanting to use too much force, Second Sister Cao slammed into the stone mill on the side.

Dong Rong's eyesight was sharp and she quickly supported her with her hands, barely taking off most of her strength, but the sister-in-law and her sister-in-law still knocked their arms, grinning in pain.

Seeing this, old man Cao was completely annoyed, and slapped Granny Cao on the face with a slap, and said angrily, "Fuck you, Sister Rong can buy whatever she wants with the money she earns. It has nothing to do with you. Hurry up!" Go into the house! If you dare to make noise again, I will divorce you first!"

Granny Cao covered her hot right cheek and was stunned for quite a while, before she screamed and almost pierced everyone's eardrums, "Ah, I'm dying! Who am I for, not for this family! She bought The reason why the orchard is used as a dowry is to leave our Cao family aside. In the future, all the money earned in the orchard will be hers. What if the second sister gets married? What about the two of us for the elderly? I’m just a fool. Great!"

As she spoke, she also ran towards the stone mill, to see if the momentum was real, she would definitely die.

Old man Cao tore at the old woman's clothes, turned his head and looked at his son with pleading eyes.Silly Zhu also frowned. Although he had never liked Mrs. Cao as a person, he had lived under the same roof for more than ten years. Seeing her sacrifice her life for a hundred taels of silver, he felt a little complicated.If he hadn't wanted to hide his identity and subsidized Cao's family with more money on weekdays, the trouble would not have reached the level it is today.

Dong Rong didn't know what Silly Zhu was thinking. Seeing that his complexion was not good, she thought he felt sorry for his parents, so she sighed heavily in her heart and said loudly, "The orchard is already in my name, and this is my dowry, mother." It is absolutely impossible to return the orchard to the public. However, in the future, I will give two sales of the orchard's income to my family every year. It can be regarded as my filial piety to my parents. As for the dowry of the second sister, I will also help add some. Parents, Is that good?"

Old man Cao originally had an agreement with Shazhu, but he had the cheek to beg for mercy because the old woman made trouble.Hearing these words now, he quickly responded, "Okay, Sister Rong, don't be angry with your mother, she just has too many hardships and is afraid of poverty."

Mrs. Cao covered her face and cried loudly while eavesdropping on her ears. How could she agree to it now that she only got [-]% of the income by performing so hard? She sat down on the ground and cursed, "You black heart You vixen, thanks to you being able to speak out, only [-]% of the income..."

The old man Cao couldn't bear it any longer, so he greeted him again, and cursed, "Just take it when you see it. Sister Rong doesn't pay anything to the family, and no one can say anything. Are you going to make fun of Cao in the whole village?" The family occupies the daughter-in-law's dowry!"

Granny Cao wiped her nose, rolled her scorched eyes, and said, "What about Eldest Sister, their family is having a hard time, why don't they help take care of it..."

A cold light flashed in Dong Rong's eyes, and she was really annoyed.She tolerated it again and again, and even made concessions, firstly because of Zhuzi's face, and secondly because it is not easy to tear her face in Cao's house.But Mrs. Cao is so obvious that she wants to peel her skin and devour her. If she doesn't resist, she will really be a persimmon.
