Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 255

"You are husband and wife, this matter has to be discussed. I have to reiterate, in fact, my family only has 300 taels of silver. The two boxes of silver prepared by Pomegranate last time were covered with stones. We are not as rich as you think , I did have a lot of money before, but I spent it all. Also, even if we earn a lot of money in the future, it belongs to my family. If I want to borrow a few taels, I will lend it to you generously, but it costs 100 taels per mouth. , I really can’t borrow it.”

Shiliu came over and grabbed Qian Feng's hand, blinking at him, not letting him talk to his sister-in-law like this.

In fact, Qian Feng has had a problem with Ge Taohua for a long time. The family is a blessing to share, but recently she spends more and more money, and is not as hardworking as before. She feels that she can rely on Qian Feng.

If that's the case, Qian Feng wouldn't bother to say anything, but Ge Taohua wants to learn to build a big courtyard, and she needs to build a three-story building. She really wants to live the same life as Qian Feng's family.

Qian Feng had to let her know that she had to work hard with her own hands in her life, and that she couldn't depend on her younger brother's family for food, drink and pleasure all her life.

Ge Taohua suddenly burst into tears, and then ran out.

Pomegranate was so frightened that she quickly chased after her, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

Shiliu followed Ge Taohua to the old yard, but Ge Taohua ran into her house and locked the door, so Shiliu couldn't get in.

Yang is drawing circles on the ground in the yard, calculating how many goose cubs she can buy with a tael of silver, and she plans to raise some geese.Father Qian can just plant the fields by himself, and she doesn't need to intervene. Now that Liu'er can walk, she plans to raise some geese while taking Liu'er with her.

Seeing Shiliu chasing Ge Taohua in, she was a little puzzled, "Did you two quarrel?"

Shiliu came over and knelt down, shaking her head, "Mother, it's not me and sister-in-law who quarreled, but Qian Feng and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law wanted to build a big yard on the land across the road, so she asked Qian Feng to borrow 100 taels of silver. Qian Feng Instead of borrowing money, I even said some... not very pleasant words, and finally made my sister-in-law angry."

"What?" Yang jumped up in shock, "Borrow 100 taels of silver to build a big yard? Is she crazy, our yard is not enough to live in?"

Yang ran to Ge Taohua's door and kicked desperately, "Come out and tell me clearly, do you want to build another yard because you don't want to live with us? Your family is a silver refiner!"

Mrs. Yang kicked the door so precariously that the pomegranate puller couldn't hold it back, "Mother, stop kicking, sister-in-law feels uncomfortable, so don't talk about her anymore."

Ge Taohua was lying on the bed and crying, but when she heard her mother-in-law treated her so fiercely, she got up angrily, opened the door at once, and said with tears and snot, "Mother, you can't be so partial, I'm borrowing money and borrowing money." It’s not about asking for money. The second brother means that I’ll never be able to get in. How does he know that I’m not getting in? Song Qiu is doing well in studying now. The teacher often praises him. If he succeeds in the future, he can become a big Officer, what is 100 taels? I said to buy a horse for Songqiu, and the second brother acted like he could only ride a horse, and no one else could ride. When I said to build a big yard, he looked like he could only live in his house Others are wishful thinking to be able to afford a big yard. I still don’t believe it, my pinecone will be promising in the future, can I live worse than him?”

Yang stretched out her hand and slapped Ge Taohua resoundingly, and the pomegranates beside her were all trembling with fright.

Ge Taohua covered her face and opened her eyes wide, "Mother, you actually hit me?"

"What's wrong with me beating you? A good life is nothing but a mess! Open your mouth and shut your mouth to pinch the ball. You will spoil my good grandson, not to mention whether he can become a high-ranking official when he grows up, even if he becomes So what can the officer do? I didn't see how rich that fat Jia is. I heard that the monthly salary of the county magistrate is only two taels of silver, and it is only more than 20 taels a year. Is it possible that you still want Song Qiu to grow up to be a man? Officials to corrupt the law?"

Yang pushed Ge Taohua aside, then walked into her room and turned under her bed.

Ge Taohua didn't care about the pain in her face, and ran in to stop Yang Shi, "Mother, what do you want to do?"

Yang pulled her away, "Get out of the way! What am I doing? I'm looking for money! Find out all the money that Feng'er gave to your family, and save the pine balls for later marrying a wife, so don't let it be ruined by you."

Shiliu didn't want this to make a big deal, she liked what Qian Feng said, "everything goes well at home", so she pulled Yang Shi desperately, "Mother, don't do this."

"Pomegranate, don't worry about it!"

Seeing that Yang pulled out Ge Taohua's box under the bed, Shiliu had no choice but to use force, and directly carried Yang out.
