happy event

Chapter 92 The money in the pocket is coveted!
Old man Chen used to be a respectable figure in the village, but he was picked up by the eldest son who worked out of town to enjoy the blessings, and he was envied by the villagers for a long time.Unexpectedly, when the disaster hit the south and the price of food rose, the eldest daughter-in-law immediately turned against them and drove them back together with the younger son.This really made him feel ashamed, and he has been hiding in the house and refusing to come out after living in Cao's house for the past few days.Today I really couldn't bear the old woman's nagging, so I went to my son's house with her at night.

Chen Pozi took a sip of tea and praised with a smile, "This tea is really good, even better than the one I drank at your elder brother's house."

Elder Sister Cao is usually very annoyed when she hears her mother-in-law boasting about how good her uncle's family is for food and food.At this moment, she was very surprised to see her mother-in-law suddenly changed her tone, and asked, "Mother, do you want to come to my parents for something? Otherwise, how can you say something nice..."

"What are you talking about?" Second Chen quickly scolded his wife.

But Mrs. Chen waved her hands and said with a smile, "It's okay, I just like eldest sister's outspoken temper."

Eldest sister Cao always eats soft food rather than hard food. It is rare to hear her mother-in-law say that she loves her.

Mrs. Chen glanced at the dry and hard dim sum, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, but her subordinates picked up a piece, and chatted with their daughter-in-law while eating.

"Elder sister, I see that many refugees have come to the village today. They are all hired by your sister-in-law? What kind of work does her orchard have, so many people are needed?"

Sister Cao curled her lips and replied, "My sister-in-law is good at calculating. I heard that she plans to expand the thatched house on the top of the mountain and build some pavilions. Now when these refugees are recruited, they only give them gruel Drinking is equivalent to wages, how much money have you saved?"

"I'm afraid this is a bit strange. If she is looking for someone to do the work, she can only find someone who is light and strong. Why did she accept so many old people and children? Could it be that there is too much money in her hand and there is nowhere to spend it? This kind of fruit Is it really a way to get rich?" Mrs. Chen followed her daughter-in-law's words in a persuasive manner.

"Send a lot of money!" Sister Cao, this idiot, was really taken in, and said gloatingly, "Her natal brother offended someone, and she didn't sell a single fruit this autumn."

"That's even more strange. The day before yesterday, I saw that the silver hairpin on her head was so delicate, it's not something that can be bought in our small county. And I heard from your mother that the yard at home is going to be refurbished. It's all about your brother." The daughter-in-law does the work and supplies."

"What, why didn't I know about this?"

"Hehe, maybe you haven't heard of it because you seldom go home recently. Eldest sister, you said that Zhuzi is a fool, and your sister-in-law is so capable. In the future, she will make a lot of money...won't it be cheaper for outsiders?"

"Cheap outsider?" Sister Cao was a little puzzled, looked at the smiling mother-in-law, and asked, "Mother, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Chen said in a low voice, "Doesn't she have a younger brother? When his younger brother gets married and has a child, and the next one will be adopted under the name of Zhuzi, the family wealth will all belong to the Dong family, but it has nothing to do with your Cao family." there is none left."

"She dares! She is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and she has to stay in the Cao family even if she earns a living. Besides, even if Zhuzi can't give birth, I still have two sons. They are also grandsons of the Cao family. Why should the Dong family Adoption?"

"I can't say for sure about this matter, maybe people have already figured it out now." Mrs. Chen said with a cool smile, "So, if you and the second child want to make your son rich, you should do it as soon as possible. The Dong family took the lead, and you will have nowhere to cry when you want to cry!"

Sister Cao rolled her eyes several times, and said bitterly, "No, I'll go to my mother tomorrow and ask her to talk about it. I don't believe that no matter how powerful she is, she can't even listen to her in-laws, hehe !"

Chen Lao Er secretly exchanged glances with his old lady, and finally pretended to listen carefully and said, "My son seems to be crying, eldest sister, go and have a look!"

"Really, why didn't I hear that?" If his own son really adopted him to his younger brother, he would be a little landlord.The more Sister Cao thought about it, the happier she became, and she cared a little more for her children than usual, so she got up and went into the house to check.

Seeing her daughter-in-law leave, Mrs. Chen proudly said to her son, "You are an idiot, you can't even coax your own mother-in-law. If the orchard is really taken by Mr. Dong, you will regret it."

Chen Laoer came forward to pour tea and snacks for the old lady, and said with a smile, "I also said this idea at the beginning, but I accidentally offended the eldest sister, so I didn't mention it again. Mother still has a way. Those words made her feel alive again."

Mrs. Chen threw the snacks on the plate in disdain, and replied, "If it wasn't for my grandson, I wouldn't worry about it. You will enjoy the blessings in the future, but don't forget that your old lady still lives based on other people's faces."

"No, mother, don't worry. Your grandson's money is our family's money. When the time comes, let him buy ten or eight gold hairpins for mother to wear, and then build a big yard..." The more the two mothers talked, the happier they were, Everyone laughed like a fox who had stolen a hen.

Old man Chen squinted his eyes as if he was asleep, but if you looked closely, you would find that the corners of his mouth were also slightly raised.This kind of plotting of the in-laws' property behind the scenes is a bit unreasonable.However, he fell asleep as soon as he entered the door tonight, but he didn't hear the old woman and son gossiping about the daily life.If things are done, he will enjoy the blessings as well.If things don't work out, he can talk about things to smooth things over...

Dong Rong didn't know that the old and the young of the Chen family were plotting her money behind her back, she was so exhausted from the busy day, she fell asleep on Sha Zhu's back, and didn't even know when she got home and got into bed again.It was already the early morning of the second day when I waited to open my eyes again. Although the winter sun was a little lazy, it still slowly climbed up to the horizon.Dong Rong stretched her head to look at the slightly whitish window edge, hesitated for a moment, then retracted her head into the bed, thinking about what to do today while lazing on the bed.

Silly Zhu came in from the outside, reached out and touched the big kang, it was already hot again, then sat down in front of his daughter-in-law and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going on a long trip with Uncle Feng today."

"What?" Dong Rong sat up immediately when she heard this, and annoyed, "Where are you going out in such a cold day? Besides, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Silly Zhuhan said with a smile, "I don't know, Uncle Feng has no one to carry luggage, so I'll go play with you."

Mr. Feng rushed out in such weather, maybe there was something urgent.He usually treats Sha Zhu well, but if he stops Sha Zhu from taking care of him, it would be somewhat unreasonable.But the family is so busy now, Dong Rong frowned annoyed when she thought that Sha Zhu couldn't be by her side.She stretched out her hand to pinch him twice, and finally quickly put on her coat and went to the ground to rummage through the suitcases to salute.

Silly Zhu rubbed his sore arm from being pinched, looked at the daughter-in-law who was running around all over the floor, and smiled helplessly and dotingly.In fact, he was reluctant to leave her alone at home.But both the shop and Xiaoyi Garden had things to deal with, and they couldn't just ignore them.But come back this time, there is no need to go out years ago.At that time, he will accompany her to have a good time, and spend the New Year that everyone is troubled with...

When Mr. Feng arrived at the gate of the orchard in a carriage, he saw Dong Rong and his wife standing side by side in the lee and talking.The old man glanced at the big package at the two people's feet, and couldn't help laughing, "Zhuzi's daughter-in-law, what delicious food did you bring for Zhuzi again? Don't worry, I still have a few taels of silver for the old man, and he won't be hungry. ah."

Dong Rong really wanted to roll her eyes and curse a few times.If you have money, why don't you buy a few servants, and insist on grabbing pillars as labor every time, which makes her worry about it day and night.But no matter how much she murmured in her heart, she couldn't speak directly, so she could only respond, "Uncle Feng, it's cold and slippery, you old man should go back early."

After saying this, she told Shazhu in a low voice, "Your clothes are all sewn with pieces of silver. If you accidentally get separated from Uncle Feng, you can hire a carriage and come back by yourself."

Sha Zhu nodded, and finally picked up the big package and got on the carriage.Qingfeng smiled and nodded with Dong Rong, then quickly drove the carriage away with a flick of the whip.

Dong Rong waved her hand vigorously until the carriage turned into a small black dot, then turned around and entered the orchard unhappily.

Sister-in-law Liu and Mei Huaer are calling the refugees to line up to receive sweet potatoes, while Zhao Qingshan is leading two handymen to move adobe to build a kang.Dong Rong managed to pull herself together and called Sister-in-law Liu, asking her to find some prestigious people among the refugees to come over and talk.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu brought an old man, an old lady and a strong man over.Dong Rong had just sent Sha Zhu out, so she was not in the mood to talk to these people in detail, but simply listed three rules.Evicted out for being lazy and disobedient at work!Those who live in the village and behave improperly are kicked out!Fight and bully the weak and kick them out!If one person makes a mistake, the whole family or the whole courtyard will be punished jointly, there is absolutely no sense to speak of.

The three of them bowed to each sentence, with very respectful and serious expressions.Last night, Sister-in-law Liu and the others took back the old clothes from the city, so that all the refugees put on cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes.Sleeping on the hot kang at night, covered with quilts, many people couldn't help but shed tears.Being able to get rid of the fate of beggars and live a life of eating and sleeping again, they can't wait to kowtow to their boss every day in gratitude.Even if there are no rules in the orchard, everyone dare not be lazy and play tricks. Only a fool would not cherish the opportunity in front of him and kill himself.

Dong Rong thought for a while, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Second Sister Cao walking in from outside the orchard holding a small package.She hurriedly waved a few people to disperse, then came to meet her, smiled and pulled her sister-in-law and asked, "Second sister, why are you here? You don't wear a scarf, are you froze?"

Second Sister Cao was also very happy to see her sister-in-law, she shook her head and replied, "I'm not cold, sister-in-law. My brother said last night that he is going out, so let me be my sister-in-law's companion."

Dong Rong's eyes lit up, but she complained, "Since you're so worried about me, why go out? I don't appreciate it!"

Second Sister Cao laughed so hard that her eyes crooked, hugged her sister-in-law's arm and swayed coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't eat breakfast, I'm so hungry!"

"Didn't I have someone send food home? Why is Mom still reluctant to cook? Let's go up the mountain with my sister-in-law and have a few snacks first. At noon, my sister-in-law will cook braised pork for you." Dong Rong patted my sister-in-law distressedly, and finally Said, "Sister-in-law has recently obtained some good materials, you can pick a few and take them back to save the dowry later."
