It can be said that Tan Yu does not agree with all the reasons for Tan's mother's self-sacrifice.

Perhaps, this is the different thoughts of people of different ages, like clouds and mud.

The two talked in detail all night, but in the end no one convinced the other, and the mother and daughter left angrily.

Although Tan's mother couldn't be persuaded, Tan Yu didn't intend to let her bear it alone.

Because, in ancient times, it was really hard for a woman to support a family!

In ancient times, women were not allowed to show their faces in public.

If you forcefully show your face in order to make money, you will be despised.

Of course, for people who don't even have enough to eat, they don't care whether others despise them or not.

However, even if you are underestimated, you can't make the money you want.

At that time, very few people were willing to do business with women.

Therefore, no matter how hard-working Tan's mother is, she can only farm the fields when she is a girl, and earn some money by washing clothes and making shoes for others after marriage.

Whether it's before or after marriage, you can't make much money by doing these things.

But no matter how little you earn, you have to persevere, because the three mouths in the family are all waiting for the rice to go to the pot.

Tan's father was still a bit tricky, and often frowned and asked his wife: "Why are you eating porridge again today? It's too thin, and I often have to run to the latrine. I can't even read a book safely."

As a scholar, it must be embarrassing to say these words.

Father Tan wouldn't be able to tell if it wasn't so hard that he couldn't do anything about it.

For him, it was really too much to do.

Because, drinking porridge every day is really unbearable.

In the past, there was an old slave in the family who cooked for him every day. He changed the way and changed the taste so that he could eat better and feel better when reading.The rice and vegetables eaten every day are almost the same.

Later, in order to marry a wife, the old slave was sold, firstly to raise money for the bride price, and secondly, since the wife married in, there would naturally be someone to do the housework, and the old slave could save on it.

Who knows, this wife is very poor at cooking and cooks porridge for him every day.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Mother Tan was a little embarrassed.

But he still bowed his head and apologized: "It's the slave's fault. I'll make dinner for the master later."

"Ah."

Tan's father responded, and didn't say any more. He continued to hold the book in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and ate porridge while reading.

Tan Yu couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "The family has no money, so where can I cook? It would be nice to have porridge. That's all, mother earns money by washing clothes for others!"

There is no need to get used to these men who don't know how to cherish blessings.

Tan's mother never expected that Tan Yu would say such a thing.

She was stunned at first.Then he quickly pulled Tan Yu's arm: "Yu'er, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't joke with your father!"

"Ok?"

Father Tan was a little surprised, and finally stopped reading and looked at his wife and children.

Tan's mother was still describing: "Master, don't listen to Yu'er's nonsense. She is joking with you. Don't worry, I will cook dinner at the next meal."

Only then did Father Tan ease his face slightly.

He didn't quite understand his son's jokes.

But since the wife said so, there is no need to worry about it.

Seeing him like this made Tan Yu even more angry.

Turning directly to Mother Tan: "What are you talking about? Don't make wishes randomly! What are you going to cook next meal? What are you going to cook? There is only a little rice at home, and you will make a meal tomorrow. What will you eat tomorrow?! "

The rice at home is a certain amount. If it is used to cook porridge, it can last for two days, until the person who does the laundry for Tan's mother pays her a reward.

But if you eat dry rice, you can finish it in one meal.

After eating, what will we do tomorrow?

Only then did Father Tan come to his senses and realized that things were not simple.

"What do you mean? There is no rice at home?"

He looked at Tan's mother again, reprimanded: "There is no rice at home, why don't you go out and buy it?"

Ah.

Tan Yu almost gasped.

I can't help but laugh.

No wonder there has been an allusion of "why not eat minced meat" since ancient times.

It seems that such people really exist!

"Don't go out to buy?" Tan Yuchi said coldly, "Do you think that there is no rice at home because mother didn't go out to buy rice? Of course it is because there is no money at home! How can I buy rice without money?!"

Such direct words were like a knife piercing Father Tan's heart.

His complexion changed and was very complicated.

For him, this question is really...too embarrassing.

In fact, he is not completely clear about the financial situation of the family.Otherwise, he wouldn't have sold his only old slave in order to marry his wife.

However, he was thinking, since he married a wife, let his wife take care of the house.As a woman, it is my job to take care of the house.

As for the money the housekeeper needed, he didn't bother to think about it.

After all, he is a person who wants to do big things, and reading is the real thing.In the future, when he is named on the gold list, he will rise to the top all of a sudden, and his wife and children will also ascend to heaven with the chicken dog. Why should he care about whether he is poor or rich now?

It was precisely because he told himself this way that he could calmly read while leaving the children, the family, and the food and drink expenses of the three members of the family to his wife.

Now the son suddenly jumped out and said that he was wrong because the family had no money at all.

Isn't this slapping him in the face?

How could it not be embarrassing? !

Father Tan's face changed, becoming uglier and uglier.

Finally, the red becomes the color of pig liver.

Facing his wife, he said, "Well, at home, no, no money?"
