Chapter 99
My mother is wearing a tattered army coat, which was worn by my father when he was still alive. The sleeves are all worn out, and there are still patches in a few places. The pants should be sewn randomly by the second brother. Trouser legs, a purple scarf tied around her neck, and messy gray hair, I couldn't help but think about it when I saw it.

She should have some money, but she only knew that she would not be willing to spend a penny if she left it to her second brother.

She was chatting and laughing with others in a high voice: "That's not it! It's much easier for villagers to enter the city than before. In the past, we could come once and it was the same as Chinese New Year. Now my daughters live directly in the city!"

The eldest sister near the stall said: "Wang Qiaozhen is the most profitable in our street. Your daughter is promising, so naturally I won't forget about you!"

I'm angry, these vegetable sellers are the best at observing words and expressions, what my mother wants to do, I guess she knew it early in the morning, but she said it on purpose, just to give me eye drops, I guess it's because I'm jealous that I sell potatoes to make money It was deliberately provocative.

As soon as my mother looked up and saw me coming, she hurriedly laughed loudly: "No! My girl is not the kind of person who forgets her roots. She has been helping the family. No matter how much money I want, I won't bat an eyelid!"

Everyone praised me one after another. Auntie and Liang Yan frowned slightly and gave me a wink. Liang Yan shook her head quietly, which means don't tell your mother that you are making money.

The sister-in-law also looked at me nervously, but I didn't respond.I couldn't help sneering in my heart, is this coming early to give me a high hat?
At this time, my mother grabbed me and said, "Qiaoer, you are here! I have been waiting for a long time."

"It's cold, isn't it?"

"It's okay, I came in the old Zhang's carriage."

I smiled and said, "Come in and warm up, I'll light the stove right away."

Mom nodded with a smile.I opened the door of the stall to let Mom in, and then started to dig out the ashes from the stove to make a fire. Mom took off the scarf and looked around, and then started nagging.

"Since your business has been doing well, why don't you let your second brother come? I think it's better to let him come these two days. He keeps saying that his work is not going well, he has been injured, and he sprained his wrist a few days ago. Now, resting at home, I was thinking, you are not short of money now, so I will make the decision and let your second brother sit here!" Mom smiled and beat her shoulders as she spoke, with a complacent look. look.

"What else do you want to do?" I laughed.

Mom smiled and said, "You're smart! Now all the qualified people in the village are building houses. I want you to ask for some money to go back and fix the house. I don't want too much. One thousand yuan is almost enough. Now We can live our little days together!"

I snorted immediately, and gave her 1000 yuan, plus sending that slacker second brother to me, do I still want to live!

My sister-in-law didn't dare to speak for me, so I went to the noodle box and brought her an orange to eat.

Mom hurriedly held hands with sister-in-law and exchanged a few words: "Cailian, I see that you look much better recently, the city is a good place to raise people! When you left like that before, I was not at ease, I was afraid that you What do you think, I think I am partial to the younger daughter-in-law, but you know, your brother and sister are pregnant with two, it is very uncomfortable, I really can't take care of you two."

The sister-in-law smiled: "I'm fine. I'm here. Qiaoer cares about me. I eat well and sleep well. Don't worry."

"Then don't worry." Mom said with a smile.

I lit the fire with an old cardboard box, and put those briquettes inside one by one.

Hearing Mom's words, he smiled and looked up: "Mom, you just say you care about my sister-in-law and you're done? When you came to see her, you didn't even bring a piece of candy to my sister-in-law. You are really stingy."

Mom hurriedly said: "You child, don't sow discord here. Aren't you short of money over there? Just help me buy it for your sister-in-law. Why is the family so divided in such a hurry!"

"Who did you listen to say that I am rich? I can't even get the money for the goods here, and I still say that I am not short of money?"

To deal with my mother, you have to block back directly, without any room for maneuver.

Mom smiled and said: "Why? You are rich and you hide it from me? Now everyone in this village doesn't know that you are capable! Now that you have a good reputation, Mom is proud of you! Now I will help you a little Brother is also a trifle."

I said: "You let the second brother come, where does he live? My sister-in-law lives in our small one-story house, both of whom are reluctant. Do you let him sleep in the coal bunker?"

"Just rent a house for your second brother. I've inquired about it just now. There are many rented houses near here."

I stood up abruptly: "Mom, you don't understand me, do you? Let me say it again, I have no money at all! If I had money, I wouldn't earn a few cents here. My side and everyone My sister-in-law is struggling to start a small business, and she is about to make ends meet, let alone 1000 yuan, even if it is 100 yuan, I can't afford it right now!"

Mom frowned, and said anxiously: "At this time, you still say you have no money! Liu Yeke has already said it, and you can show Zhang Yutong that it is 300 yuan! Are you still fooling me here? What am I doing?" If you don’t know anything, you can hide it from me?”

I smiled and said, "Mom, you lied to me. That's not my money at all, okay? Think about it, our family loves money so much, can anyone show it to others? That money belongs to Mrs. Bai, because I fought with her, and I was not convinced, so I walked around the hospital for a while, and then returned it to her, if you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Bai!"

It was really Liu Ye who said this matter, although it was my mother who was responsible for this matter, but I know that the people behind it are the second brother and the second sister-in-law.Most likely I was thinking that since I took out 3000 yuan in one go, I might be able to take out [-] yuan in my hand.

The mother here naturally didn't believe it, and she began to cry again: "I said Qiaoer, you have to be conscientious in life! It's not easy for mother to raise you. You didn't want to marry Yu Hongcai before, and the family owed famine , didn’t force you to marry, did you? Mom isn’t the one who used her daughter in exchange for a bride price, now that you’re promising, you’re going to die!”

I said: "I don't even bother to mention the past! You really don't want to exchange money with me? That's because I won't die, okay! If it wasn't because I went to cut rice to pay off my second brother's debt, and Sister-in-law Bai wanted I'm here to sell vegetables, will you let me go?"

When Mom heard this, she became angry: "Why is it so hard to talk to you! In a word, will you give me money or not?"

"I don't have any money! If you don't believe me, search it. If you can find more than 20 on me, I'll give it all to you!" I turned out the clothes and showed my mother. Anyway, I have deposited the big ones in banks and treasury bonds. The remaining [-] change is for change.It doesn't matter if she snatches them all.

My mother was so angry that she directly tapped my forehead: "Why are you so dark-hearted? Others' children know that they are rich and help the house, but nothing will work on your side! Everyone It said that you have at least three to five thousand yuan in your hand, and asking you to take out 1000 yuan is like killing you!"

I went to the door and opened it: "Mom! Go ask the people on this street, can these grocery shoppers earn hundreds of dollars a month? I have only been in the city for a few days? I am not going to rob By the way, how can I earn so much money? Others say that I am [-] a month, do you believe it?"

Mom didn't move the place. According to her personality, she must have asked before. Generally, the vegetable vendors here can earn 200 yuan after deducting the cost.

Mom sneered: "Didn't you make money on potatoes? Now potatoes are still worth two yuan a catty! What don't I know?"

She also investigated very carefully, and she even knew about my potato sales?
I was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "I sell expensive because my potatoes are expensive. I sell them for one yuan and eight. Isn't it normal for me to sell two yuan? Otherwise, you think I sell two yuan for one penny." A piece? If you don’t believe me, go to the vegetable stand with me tomorrow and ask how much is a catty of potatoes now. You will know that I am not lying.”

Of course I'm lying, but no one knew beforehand that I had stored so many potatoes, and that Aunt and Liang Yan wholesaled from me at a cheap price, I would not tell this person in front of this person, and of course my mother would not will know.
