peasant young lady

Chapter 9 I'm going to burn some incense too
"You stinky girl! How dare you curse Jingzhong, see if I don't beat you to death!" Zhang's blood surged instantly, and he started chasing and beating Cheng Xia all over the yard.

While hiding, Cheng Xia watched Cheng Shang and Liu Wen's expressions from sunny to drizzle to stormy, cut, slapping in the face was her favorite thing to do.The two of them didn't know what they were doing with so much money, but if they had their idea on her head, then she wouldn't let them succeed so easily.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing!"

Hearing the sudden sound next to her, Cheng Xia suddenly stopped her circling steps, and her mother followed her for more than a dozen laps. Seeing Cheng Xia stop suddenly, she lost her direction in an instant, her body softened, and she fell forward. .

Cheng Xia wanted to laugh, but she held back.But Dahua, who had been watching from the side, couldn't bear it anymore, and wished to burst her eardrums with two haha ​​sounds.

"Nonsense!" Li was looking at the people in the yard, walked directly to Cheng Xia's side, poked Cheng Xia's hand with a small effort, "You still don't want to help your mother up?"

"Oh." Cheng Xia agreed very briskly, and then supported the panting Mrs. Zhang to stand up, "Mother, you see that you are always sitting, but your body is not good enough. Let me tell you, there will be more in the future." Get some exercise."

When Dahua heard it, an uncontrollable burst of laughter broke out in an instant.

"Laugh, laugh, why don't you laugh to death!" Cheng Shang bluntly poked at Dahua's fat face, angrily walked to Zhang's side, squeezed Cheng Xia aside with his buttocks, and faced Zhang Caring regards.

Mrs. Zhang stroked Cheng Shang's hand, and gave Cheng Xia a bitter look, "It's still Shang'er who knows how much he loves his mother, unlike those white-eyed wolves."

Cheng Xiaquan pretended not to hear it, and only frowned and smiled at Cheng You, who was next to Lizheng, and quietly extended a thumbs up, the little guy smiled instantly.

When he just entered the door, he asked Cheng You to invite Li Zheng. She couldn't cure her mother, but Li Zheng could always.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you messing about again? Xia Yatou has already married into the Yang family, and she is a member of the Yang family. If you dare to make up your mind to betroth Xia to another family, I will not agree. If you don't listen to what I say, Let's go to the government for a while, my old man still doesn't believe that no one can cure you.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang moved her lips a few times, trying to say something but didn't say it.

Cheng Shang looked at Lizheng with a smile, "Grandpa Lizheng, this is something my little sister agreed to, don't blame my mother." He winked at Cheng Xia as he spoke, the coldness in his eyes seemed to be a warning.

Hey, treat her like a soft bun, so you can handle it casually, it's funny.

"Sister, didn't you tell me just now that you disliked your brother-in-law's family for being poor, and you fell in love with the blue brick and tile house of the second idiot in Benggeng Village, and wanted to leave your brother-in-law and marry him?" Bi opened her eyes and told nonsense, would she lose?
"Sister, let me tell you, although my brother-in-law is a scholar, he doesn't earn as much as a groom or a pig butcher, but a scholar still has food expenses, one tael of silver a month, plus one liter of rice plus fish every day." The oil and salt are enough for your family of three to eat and drink, which is better than those of us peasants who can’t finish their last meal, sister, don’t be too hard on yourself to marry that idiot.”

She didn’t lie. According to the prices in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a pig slaughterer can earn 36 taels a year, a groom can earn 40 taels, and a scholar’s ​​food expenses are only 12 taels a year, which is far from enough.

Cheng Shang's face turned red in an instant, and she wanted to slap Cheng Xia, but Li Zheng could only suppress her anger and say, "Sister, don't talk nonsense."

"Then eldest sister, don't talk nonsense. Grandpa Lizheng said that I'm already married, so I can't promise it to the Li family. Since Mother has taken the money from the family, just return it. Now that Grandpa Lizheng is here, Sister, take out the money and ask mother to send it to others."

"Don't worry about it!" It took Zhang a long time to hold back such words.

It's hard for Li Zheng to say anything here. Although the two children's marriage failed, Li Zheng helped her family a lot when her mother-in-law was arguing about the separation of the family. She has to remember this kindness.

Cheng Xia shrugged, it's best not to worry about her, whoever dug the hole can fill it himself.But she still wanted to thank Lizheng. At such an advanced age, she came here to help last night and today, and she felt very sorry.

"Mother, look at the commotion. The sun is coming up. Father and elder brother have to come back to eat after going to the fields. Grandpa Lizheng went for a hard trip, so he will stay at Grandpa Lizheng for dinner at noon."

It's best to give all the food in the house to Grandpa Lizheng, and vent your anger for this bad experience!
Cheng Xia thought, and smiled even sweeter, "I don't need mother to cook, I will cook for Grandpa Lizheng, do you think it is feasible for Grandpa Lizheng?"

"It's doable, it's doable." Li Zheng's smiling beard trembled a few times.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang nodding reluctantly, Cheng You leaned on Lizheng to enter the door, while Cheng Xia swaggered past the ashen-faced Liu Wen, and whispered, "When will my brother-in-law transfer to Shangren University?" Sergeant, please come to your home and let me know, so I can go and burn incense to worship."
