Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

In the evening, Li Minghua brought Wang Xiaozi. Wang Xiaozi went directly to the pigsty and saw that the two big fat pigs looked good. He estimated that: "I think these two pigs should cost nearly 400 kilograms. I give fifty cents."

When Li Minghua heard that he was only given 50 cents, he immediately stopped doing it: "The pork has risen to one and two in the past two days, and you only pay 50 cents for the pig? No, the price is too low."

Wang Aizi smiled and said, "How about a three-point increase if you take it?"

Li Minghua insisted: "I won't sell without six cents."

Six Mao? Wang Xiaozi bought it at this price. When he changed hands, he made any money, so he spread his hands and said, "I can't pay this price."

Li Minghua did not make any concessions, and the deal was never settled.

On the second day, Li Minghua took people to see his pig again. With his efforts, he finally raised the price to six cents a catty.

Li Minghua borrowed a large scale from others and weighed both pigs, a total of 378 jin. A total of 226 yuan was sold for 80 cents. With this money, it’s enough for the New Year. For the family’s chewing, all seeds and pesticides after the beginning of spring next year will have to be paid out, as well as Li Jianbo’s tuition. The family’s house is still going to be renovated, and money must be saved for it. Li Jianping marries a wife and needs money everywhere.

However, the auntie came to the door before the money was covered.

Liu Chunzhi didn't have a good face for this sister-in-law, and expected the aunt's intention.

When Zhang Weihong came over, seeing Li Wei drying clothes in the yard, she deliberately raised her voice: "Oh, Wei Wei is at home. I haven't seen Wei Wei for many days. I heard that you are sick. Are you all right?"

Li Wei turned his head and glanced at the woman. Zhang Weihong wore a cyan dress and was slightly shorter than Liu Chunzhi's, with thin eyebrows and a smile on her face, but she saw a trace of contempt from the smile. It's been a few days before I came to care. Li Wei nodded calmly and said, "It's all right."

"That's fine, it's about to celebrate the Chinese New Year here. It won't be good if you are sick." Zhang Weihong also inadvertently hovered with Li Wei too much. She didn't come to tease this niece to see her niece's jokes today. There is serious business.

Zhang Weihong said to Liu Chunzhi with a smiling face: "Chunzhi, come here, I will discuss with you."

Liu Chunzhi was tying with the wool in his hand. The clothes were woven for Jianping. Zhang Weihong invited Liu Chunzhi to sit in the room, and Liu Chunzhi followed in.

Here Li Wei has already dried the clothes. She knows that Liu Chunzhi doesn't like the big aunt, so she still has to go over and help Liu Chunzhi speak for the place.

Li Wei walked in from the outside, but saw that his mother's face was not so good, and looked at the aunt, she thought it must be because of this woman.

She wants to see what this woman is doing?

Sure enough, Zhang Weihong looked at the time and said to Liu Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, I saw the two pigs you sold. They are really fat. I'm afraid it will cost 400 kilograms."

Liu Chunzhi said faintly: "The 380 will not arrive."

"That's not bad. The price of this year's piggy is good, and I am afraid it has sold for more than 200 yuan. This..." Zhang Weihong blushed slightly, wringing his fingers in embarrassment.

Li Wei could see that the old lady had come to borrow money. Seeing her mother's embarrassment, she didn't wait for Liu Chunzhi to speak, she said first: "It's not much money, I will go to school in the next year. I'm afraid it is not enough to provide for me and my brother."

Liu Chunzhi glanced at her daughter in surprise, and thought to herself that her head turned slightly faster. She was thinking about countermeasures, but her daughter had already found an excuse for her.

That Zhang Weihong's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to say: "There was such a big joke before, and it has spread all over the village head and tail. Do you want to go to school?"

Li Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Knowing what I have done wrong can improve it. I am willing to continue reading, and my mom agreed. I can't control what others say."

Zhang Weihongxindao has only studied for a few days now, and her words are sour. She smiled a little disdainfully, and then said: "What do the girls read so many books, our family Axia's grades are better than Wei Wei No, I didn’t read it anymore. No matter how much I read, I won’t be married to someone else’s in the future."

Liu Chunzhi said: "She's still young, so let's mix in junior high school first."

Zhang Weihong looked at Li smiling, and thought that the little girl was really thick-skinned. She took another look at Liu Chunzhi and thought to herself that this concubine was also a big-hearted woman. Li Wei was dishonest at first sight, and even agreed to go on. It won't be long before it will become a joke again. Although she has a smile on her face, she asks with a little disdain in her words: "After such a long delay, you can still keep up? I'm afraid that there will be only repetition."

Li Wei said lightly: "It's okay, second brother said to help me with tuition."

Zhang Weihong knew that Liu Chunzhi was a stingy, and it seemed that the money could not be borrowed today, so she had to think of other ways. Zhang Weihong didn't stay longer and left.

Liu Chunzhi didn't borrow money from Zhang Weihong, but Li Minghua went to find Liu Chunzhi two days later and said, "The eldest brother's family is said to be building a house. He said that he still owes some money, so we should take some out."

"Take it? How to do it?"

Li Minghua smiled: "Big brother said he borrowed it from us, and he will return it to us when he has money."

Then Liu Chunzhi knew that her husband's ears were too soft to withstand people's rumors. She didn't know much about Zhang Weihong. The money was lent out, and I was afraid it would be difficult to get it back, so she said indifferently: "More We don’t have one either. Give him 20 yuan."

"2, 20? Isn't it too small? No matter how small it is, it will cost a hundred."

Liu Chunzhi was stunned at that time: "Don't ask for it if you don't like it. Is our family rich? It's not a strong wind."

As a result, the couple had an argument about borrowing money. Li Minghua couldn't say enough about Liu Chunzhi, and later ran away angrily.

Li Wei listened to the quarrel between the couple, thinking that it was still not clean in the middle of the night. At this moment, it reminded her of her parents in Shangshufu. In the memory, her parents would also quarrel, and so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid I can't see them again in this life. Thinking of this, Li Wei feels a little sad.

Li Minghua eventually lent the money to his elder brother, and he actually borrowed one hundred.

Because of this, Li Minghua and Liu Chunzhi had another big quarrel.

Since the last time Li Jianping said he was going to the city, after Li Minghua refused to agree, most of Li Jianping was taciturn even at home.

The old couple quarreled. They hadn't talked to each other for several days, and Li Jianping didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the whole family became weird.

Li Wei has never been fully integrated into this new family, and does not take the initiative to speak.

The house suddenly became a little dull, but none of the four took the initiative to break the dullness.
