The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Wang Zhuzi was even happier after hearing what the shopkeeper said. He nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely do that."

Then he carefully put the box containing the bracelets into his arms and drove the mule cart back home.

The mule seemed to notice that Wang Zhuzi was in a good mood and ran towards the Wang family.

In the morning at the Wang family, Zhao Lishui had just finished breakfast and was about to wash the clothes she needed to change before going to the city.

Anyway, no one is buying things early in the morning, so there is no need to go too early.

I usually clean up the house before going.

Old Lady Wang saw Zhao Lishui busying herself and called out to her, "Come here, my dear wife. I'll wash the clothes later."

When Zhao Lishui heard Old Lady Wang calling her, she put the clothes in the basin and walked towards Old Lady Wang.

He said to Old Lady Wang with a smile: "What's wrong, Mom? What's the matter?"

Old Lady Wang didn't beat around the bush and asked Zhao Lishui directly, "Did the eldest brother's wife give you the silver when he went home last night?"

Zhao Lishui looked at Old Lady Wang with eyes full of gratitude: "You gave it to me when my father came back. You are really the best mother-in-law in our village, no, no, you are the best mother-in-law in our whole Fengcheng."

When Old Lady Wang looked at Zhao Lishui, she knew she was not exaggerating.

But I sincerely feel that Old Lady Wang is such a good mother-in-law.

In fact, Old Lady Wang also had her own selfish motives. Now that Wang Chengzi had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he was just waiting to go to the capital to take the imperial examination in three years.

Now the monthly expenses at Yongzhang Academy are not small, and there are also daily expenses for writing materials.

Not to mention the large amount of money needed for traveling to Beijing.

The amount of money spent on Wang Chengzi will definitely increase, even though Wang Zhuzi and Wang Chengzi are brothers.

Zhao Lishui and Zhang Xing'er also have a very good relationship, but human hearts are unpredictable.

It would be bad if someone talks too much and causes a rift between the brothers over money.

It just so happened that Wang Zhuzi's pig farming was thriving, so Old Lady Wang thought it would be better to let the eldest wife keep the money.

This will actually be more conducive to family harmony. Anyway, Old Lady Wang knows the character of her children well, and they will not do anything wrong even if they have the money.

But you don’t know until you ask, and you’ll be shocked when you ask.

Old Mrs. Wang sat on the doorstep with a thick stick in her hand, which she kept hitting against her hand, making a popping sound.

Zhao Lishui didn't even go to the shop. She sat next to Old Lady Wang and whispered advice to her.

Even Zhang Xing'er and Xiaomi joined in persuading Old Lady Wang.

Zhang Xing'er: "Mom, don't worry. Maybe uncle took the money because he had something to do."

Zhao Lishui was also very upset. She didn't know what Wang Zhuzi did with the more than two taels of silver.

I didn't tell her about it last night, but now Old Lady Wang asked me about it directly.

Then he sat on the doorstep waiting for Wang Zhuzi to come back, and asked Xiaomi to hold a stick in his hand to beat Wang Zhuzi later.

Old Wang was sitting in the yard at this time and didn't dare to say a word. He didn't think of a way to prevent Wang Zhuzi from getting more pocket money than him.

I didn't expect that this eldest son, who looked honest and well-behaved on weekdays, actually took so much money all of a sudden.

You have to know that he only dared to secretly take a few cents each time, and he had to be worried for several days, for fear of being discovered by Old Lady Wang.

Old Wang sat in the yard secretly, waiting to see Wang Zhuzi make a fool of himself.

By the way, he also showed his loyalty to Old Lady Wang. If Old Lady Wang couldn't beat him anymore, he could quickly take over the task of beating Wang Zhuzi.

As he thought about it, Old Wang secretly grinned.

He waved his hands slightly to get a feel for how to hit someone.

When Old Lady Wang's anger reached its peak, Wang Zhuzi came back humming a little tune.

Seeing that all the Wang family members were at home neatly, he happily jumped off the mule cart.

"You are all here today, hehehe."

When Old Lady Wang saw Wang Zhuzi's playful look, she was furious.

She pointed the stick at Wang Zhuzi and said angrily, "You still dare to laugh? Kneel down in front of me."

Wang Zhuzi didn't know why Old Lady Wang was angry, but when he heard Old Lady Wang asking him to kneel down, he knelt down without any hesitation.

Xiaomi heard the sound of Wang Zhuzi kneeling on the ground and let out a sigh.

Just hearing the sound hurts.

After Wang Zhuzi knelt down, he asked Wang Zhuzi in confusion: "Mom, why did you ask me to kneel down?"

Old Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Zhuzi, who still had a confused look on his face, and had no idea where she had done wrong.

"How dare you ask if you stole the silver.

What have you been doing that requires more than two taels of silver? Have you forgotten the rules of our Wang family? "

Wang Zhuzi then realized what was going on. Just as he was about to explain, a bundle flew towards him.

Wang Zhuzi opened it and took a look, and found that it was filled with all his clothes.

Moreover, they were the clothes he usually wore when he went to the pigsty. Wang Zhuzi was reluctant to wear his newly made clothes when he went to the pigsty, for fear that they would get dirty and stink.

They were all wearing tattered clothes they had worn when they fled famine, which Zhao Lishui had mended.

Wearing the kind of clothes you could use to beg for food.

There was not a single good piece of clothing in the bag for Wang Zhuzi, and the newest one was the one he was wearing now.

Old Lady Wang looked at Wang Zhuzi coldly and said to him, "Tell Daya Niang what you did with the money. If you dare to lie or really used it to fool around, then you can get out with your clothes.

Anyway, I have a grandson now, so you can get as far away as possible."

Zhao Lishui pulled Old Lady Wang's sleeve and kept speaking well of Wang Zhuzi to Old Lady Wang:

"Mom, don't get excited and listen to Daya's father's explanation. I believe Daya's father would never do such a thing."

Wang Zhuzi saw that Old Lady Wang was about to get serious, so he quickly took out the wooden box from his arms.

He shouted anxiously to Old Lady Wang: "Mom, I'm not fooling around. I took the silver and went to buy a bracelet for Daya Niang."

Although the voice was loud, without Mrs. Wang's order, he continued to kneel on the ground obediently and did not dare to get up.

After hearing what Wang Zhuzi said, Old Lady Wang threw away the stick in her hand and said to Zhao Lishui: "Old man's wife, go and take a look."

Zhao Lishui ran a few steps to Wang Zhuzi, took the box and went back to Wang Zhuzi.

She said to Old Lady Wang, "Look, Mom, Daddy Daddy didn't use the money to buy me a bracelet."

After saying that, he handed the wooden box to Old Lady Wang, wanting her to open it and confirm it, and then quickly asked Wang Zhuzi to get up.

"What do you want me to see? Look at what I bought for you."

When Zhao Lishui heard what Old Lady Wang said, she quickly opened the wooden box and took a look.

There was a piece of red cotton cloth in the wooden box, and a bracelet lay quietly on the cloth.

Zhao Lishui took out the bracelet and looked at it. There was an osmanthus pattern carved on the flat bracelet.

It looked exquisite and generous, and Zhao Lishui fell in love with it at first sight.
