Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 75

By the time Su Qinghe, Uncle Zhang and others rushed over from Zhangjiazhuang, it had been more than half an hour.After entering the courtyard gate, I heard Zhang Jinlian's loud voice: "Mother, I don't say anything else. Last year, the second brother and his family bought new clothes. The year before last, the third brother rented a few acres of land. The year before last, the fourth brother fell in love with a family. Yes, the big blue and white porcelain vase, yes, and the purple sand pot that my fifth brother bought this year, and said that the tea is delicious."

"Mother, how much money did you spend on this?" Zhang Jinlian's voice was a little angry: "Mother, tell me, who gave this money? Let alone the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother earned it themselves." , just a little crop in the field is just enough to rent the land!"

Until Su Qinghe opened the door and entered the room, she didn't hear the old lady speak for a long time.Uncle Zhang came in and said with a smile: "It's really time for my aunt to come. My second sister has lived with my third sister for more than [-] days, right? If my aunt hadn't been in a hurry to spend money, I probably wouldn't have thought of my second sister Bar?"

"Who said that, didn't I let Song Miao come to pick her up?" The old lady was quite guilty, and forced herself to shout: "I haven't said that my daughter-in-law is disobedient and unfilial. There is still a mother-in-law to take care of her at home, and she took the child by herself. Living in my younger sister's house to enjoy the blessings, won't she be afraid of ruining the reputation of my granddaughter and grandson?"

"Mother, don't change the topic, let's put the talk here now, if you don't want to separate, that's fine, you just need to return the 20 taels of silver to my third sister, and I won't say goodbye." Yes, that is, my third sister and I are biological sisters, but my third sister is from the Su family, and this money also belongs to the Su family. I have borrowed so much from time to time, but it is all for my second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother. Brother and the others have spent money, if mother doesn’t believe it, I have an account book here, and although I can’t read or write, it’s okay to spend a few things, or else, let’s take the account book and see clearly?”

Zhang Jinlian raised her eyebrows and said, her mother's family is here today, and there are people supporting her, and Lizheng is clearly on her side. If she doesn't get tough, the girl will really have no way to make decisions on her own for the rest of her life.

What's more, what she wants is not only to make up her own mind about her daughter's marriage, she also wants the old Song family to bow her head from now on, and no one can come to her to show off!The best thing is to separate the family, even if it can't be separated, the old hag will never dare to speak loudly to her in the future, and she can beat and scold her whenever she wants.

"You said that the money was spent by them or they spent it?" The old lady scratched her neck in disbelief and shouted, Zhang Jinlian sneered: "Of course it's not up to me, I have found all the money Witnesses. If my mother thinks it’s not their money, let’s find someone to confront. I accompanied my second brother to buy the new clothes. You can ask the proprietress at the auspicious cloth shop in the town. Who gave the money. The third brother's rent was given by Song Miao. If mother doesn't believe it, she can ask the landlord Wang. The blue and white porcelain of the fourth brother and the purple sand pot of the fifth brother are famous shops in the town Song Miao went with him at the time, and he paid for the money, if mother still doesn’t believe me, we’ll go to court and ask the county master to cut it off?”

As soon as these words were said, the old woman's face turned pale.

Naturally, Zhang Jinlian would not let the old woman have time to breathe, and continued to ask: "There is also the dowry of the eldest niece, and the engagement ceremony of the second niece. These are all money I gave. Remember it clearly."

"As a sister-in-law, shouldn't you do these things?" I don't know which of Song Miao's younger siblings muttered below, Zhang Jinlian sneered: "You also know that I am a sister-in-law, so you usually are Beating and scolding sister-in-law? Don’t think I don’t know. I know what you said behind your back. If you go to the village and ask, eight out of ten know what you have said. You say that I, as a sister-in-law, should To support you, that’s good, I have also supported you all these years, but, as a younger brother and sister, have you respected your sister-in-law? Just because you insulted your sister-in-law is enough for the county magistrate to sentence you to ride a wooden donkey!"

"What is riding a wooden donkey?" Hearing someone ask in a low voice, Su Qinghe realized that Su Qinglan was still squatting in the corner!

It's okay if she doesn't speak, but An Ansheng can't do it after watching a play?As a result, Mrs. Su also saw the two of them when she said this. It is not good for children to know too much about this. Mrs. Su immediately pushed the two of them out of the yard and asked them to find a place to play by themselves. .

"This is great, it won't be a big show." Su Qinghe lamented, Su Qinglan was still a little puzzled: "Xiaohe, what do you mean by riding a wooden donkey? Riding a wooden donkey? What kind of punishment is that?"

Su Qinghe curled her lips: "Riding a wooden donkey naked, everyone took a look, oops, this person has no clothes on, and everyone in the county knows that this person walked around the street without clothes, you are not ashamed ?”

Su Qinglan opened her mouth wide in astonishment, and said for a long time: "Oh my god, this punishment is serious enough. We must not do wrong things in the future, otherwise, if we are sentenced to ride a wooden donkey, we will face embarrassment in the next three lifetimes." It's over."

Su Qinghe secretly laughed in her heart, and was curious about what happened before she came back, so she moved close to Su Qinglan and asked, "Hey, fourth sister, what do you mean by 20 taels of silver?"

"As soon as that old woman came in, she said that your second uncle and your second aunt were not filial and disrespectful to the elders. She had already assigned Sister Ping to someone else, but your second uncle and second aunt also assigned your sister Ping to someone else. It's really unfilial, and she said that if your second aunt doesn't change her mind, she will ask your second uncle to divorce his wife, and then your second aunt said, for Sister Ping's marriage, our Su family has already given the bride price, and you can withdraw the marriage. Ask the Song family to return the recruiting gift money, which adds up to 20 taels of silver."

Su Qinghe opened her mouth wide, and Su Qinglan continued: "Then the aunt came over and said that what the second aunt said was correct. She had indeed given the dowry money. It is okay to withdraw the marriage, and pay back the money first. She told your second aunt to pay it back by herself, and then your second aunt started digging through the old accounts. The food and clothing of the Song family was scrapped together, and she just scraped together 50 taels of silver, saying that all her money was spent on the Song family. Now I hope that Song Miao will divorce her, and then the Song family will pay back the money by themselves, and then the two sides will quarrel."

"Has been arguing all this time?" More than half an hour has passed, and this is what the two families are arguing about?
Su Qinglan nodded: "That's what I was talking about, and then Li Zheng occasionally said a few words, I guess, your sister Ping's marriage must be sure."

"How do you know?" Su Qinghe was very surprised, she was a little unclear, but Su Qinglan was quite accurate, where did she get the news?

"I heard my fourth aunt talking to my aunt. She said it was 20 taels of silver. My aunt didn't mean to say that she would open a wooden shop in the town for my cousin in the future." Su Qinglan said with a curled lip.

Su Qinghe suddenly realized, she said, why everyone was very sure before, not worried at all about the uncle hearing something bad, and then she had a bad impression of Sister Ping.Dare to love, things are waiting here.

Everyone knows that the aunt is a bit stingy, and she has saved money all her life, which is reserved for Su Zhishan to start a career.But, there are no shops in the town that cost 50 taels or 100 taels, so they can't be bought at all.Her money is enough to rent a shop, but how can renting a shop last long?
You have to rent this shop for at least three years.It’s only been one year, and the business has finally started. Well, the landlord is going to raise the price. You can either bite the bullet and pay the rent, or find a new place to start from scratch. It’s just a waste of effort. .

Therefore, the shop that Mrs. Su Zhang mentioned now really scratched the heart of the auntie.A shop, this is not a rented shop!
Adding up the three conditions, one is the shop, the second is that Song Ping'er has a good temperament and good looks, and the third is that Su Zhishan likes it, so it is difficult for the auntie to disagree.

Su Qinghe rubbed her chin and thought for a while, but she didn't care too much about it.Although this matter must be paid by the family in the end, it is not too bad to exchange a sum of money for the harmony of relatives.

You know, since her family has made a lot of money, there have been quite a few people who have come to borrow money during this period of time. The uncle, the second uncle, and the others will always feel sour when they meet.Anyway, the uncle and the uncle are both Su Jingsen's blood brothers, if it is true that they don't support him with any money, it would be too cool.

It's just that this is just a start, and it will be difficult to handle in the future.

The elder family married a daughter-in-law and brought a shop, so the second elder family will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, can they not give it at all?Both sides must be equal.There is also the third family, there are no boys now, but it is not guaranteed that there will be boys in the future.Well, there are still five old ones, and now there are four, one shop per family, so at least 300 taels.

Then there is the second aunt, since Sister Ping got married to give this sweetness.After that, when other cousins ​​and cousins ​​get married, even if it is not based on the weight of a shop, at least you can't be less than five taels of silver.

Su Qinghe has three uncles and two aunts, and a family of three children, probably more than a dozen children.

Well, a total of 500 taels of silver, one-fifth of which went away at once.

Su Qinghe sighed, father and mother are too kind, this is really annoying.In the end, I have to find a way to make money, otherwise, I won't be able to move to the county.Although the village is good, but for the sake of the future of the two brothers, we still have to go to a place with a college.

"Hey!" Su Qinghe sighed, could it be that she was born to worry about money?
"Xiao He, what are you worried about?" Su Qinglan asked from the side, Su Qinghe shook her head: "Nothing to worry about, by the way, I almost forgot to ask you, has your stepmother made things difficult for you these days?"

Su Qinglan and Su Qinghe played a scene that day, after Su Jinglin saw Dong Xiao'e's true face, Su Qinglan had never heard of it, and Su Qinghe was worried about the Song family's affairs, so she really didn't know the follow-up development.

Su Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were full of pride and joy: "Didn't we two come out that day? Later when I went home, I saw that woman's eye circles were red and swollen, and she was lying on the bed neither talking nor eating. If it was before, my dad would definitely have to coax her, but that day my dad ignored her and just told me that from now on I only need to cook three meals at home, wash the dishes and clean the pot, and don't worry about the rest. "

"That's it?" Su Qinghe raised her eyebrows, and Su Qinglan shook her head: "Of course not, my father also said that if the woman gave birth to a boy, he would take it to grandma to take care of it, but I said grandma is too old to take care of him. Come on, so I'll just help take care of it."

"Are you helping to take care of it? Under that woman's nose? Besides, aren't you going to the embroidery workshop next year?" Su Qinghe was puzzled, Su Qinglan shook her head again: "Of course not, I'm going to stop here, grandma is real I'm getting old, and I definitely won't take care of a baby. I just want my dad to think that I am more sensible and polite than that woman, and then my dad will look down on her even more. She also said a few days ago that she wanted to pick up Chen Jiajia Come here, my father was a little shaken at first, but now he doesn't mention it at all."

Su Qinghe was speechless. When Chen Jiajia made a fuss when she first recognized her relatives, her third uncle was so embarrassed. Now, Dong Xiaoe can still persuade her third uncle to take Chen Jiajia over. This is really...

"Anyway, I don't want to have too much trouble with that woman. After all, she is married to my father. If there is no accident, she will have children for my father in the future. I can't take care of my father all the time. Think of finding a maid for my father. As long as she doesn't dare to provoke me, then I don't plan to find fault with her in the future, and I plan to have a good relationship with my younger brother in the future."

Su Qinglan said with a smile, Su Qinghe was silent for a while, and had to admit that Su Qinglan's thinking was really mature enough.However, it cannot be denied that this approach is indeed the best.

If it's really going to be a mess, no one will have a good time with the big guys.In the current situation, no one pays attention to anyone, which is really good.

"Why are you two standing here?" When Su Qinghe was in a daze, she suddenly heard Song Fang'er's voice, turned her head and saw Song Fang'er pulling Song Weijie, Song Ping'er standing beside Su Zhishan, and the four of them were all looking this way.

"My mother won't let us stay there, what about you?" Su Qinghe jumped over with a smile and put her arms around Song Ping'er's arm and asked, Song Fang'er curled her lips: "Same thing, my mother doesn't let us stay there, I don't know How is the situation now?"

Obviously, Zhang Jinlian was afraid of scaring her daughter and children.After all, they are all relatives. If the children saw this situation, they would feel very uncomfortable.

"It's definitely not going to be broken, our uncle, second uncle and third uncle are here." Su Qinghe said with a smile, pointing to the riverside: "Let's go there, I don't know if the river is frozen today, let's Go ice fishing."

When it comes to fishing, a person immediately comes to mind. In the past, Yang Pengcheng was the best at fishing. Among the children in the village, he was the one who fished the most. Now, I don’t know what Yang Pengcheng is like.

However, Su Qinghe quickly got rid of the impression that popped up in her heart. It's just a childhood friend. It's still a question of whether she will see her in the future. What do you want to do so much?The sky is big and the earth is big, and fishing is the biggest, so hurry up and find the fishing rod.
