76. Fourth Aunt Tang's request
After finding out Mr. Cai, Tang Yu can finally take revenge.
During this period of time, it was very cool to score points with the tyrant, but he was always viewed with colored glasses by others. No matter how good his psychological quality was, he couldn't feel comfortable.
What's more, he is now part of the Tang family, and the affairs of the Tang family are his affairs. Father Tang's hard-earned family business has become someone else's pocket, how can he let it go so easily?
After discussing with Yin Yu, Tang Yu turned around and started to act immediately, using the old method of "encountering and listening to the corner of the wall" to give Qu Gong an "unexpected harvest".
Of course, Mr. Qu is no better at fooling around than those little guys before, so naturally he won't believe it easily.
But when there is suspicion, it is easy to catch wind and shadows. People in high positions are generally deep and suspicious. Even if the other party doesn't believe it, they will inevitably stay vigilant and can't help paying attention.
What's more, Mr. Cai is already ambitious and restless.
He didn't suspect that the other party was his confidant for many years before, but now he became vigilant, Qu Gong quickly discovered the other party's clues, and after careful investigation, how could he still not know the other party's evil intentions.
Qu Gong was immediately angry: What a Cai Changqing, he dared to make moves under his nose, and wanted to kill him and replace him!
This anger is no lower than that of Yin Yu. Anyway, Yin Yu is an opponent of the Qu family, and the enmity is also on the surface; Cai Changqing is betrayal, and the nature is much worse.
For a while, Qu Gong's energy was attracted to the other party, and he was sure that Yin Yu's plan was going well, so he immediately opened fire and bombarded Cai Changqing.
However, the Cai family is also a hundred-year-old family in Licheng. It is only because there is no one in Wangcheng that they are always inferior to the Qu family. As a real power in Licheng, the Cai family is like the second in command of a cottage, evenly matched.
Seeing that his ambition was exposed, Mr. Cai simply couldn't bear it anymore. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two began to fight.
The lord was exposed, and Ding Chang's little ones naturally couldn't please him. Master Cai was angry with them for not doing things well, so he directly found an excuse to confiscate their property and fields, and then drove them out of Licheng.
Wang Zhan was finally cleared of his charges because of being framed by others, and he walked out of the prison intact. He almost had the illusion of walking through the gate of hell and seeing the light of day again.
"Forget it, the people in this place are sinister, if I continue to play with my head, I will die. I'd better go back to my hometown and be a landlord..."
After experiencing a big ups and downs, Wang Zhan was scared out of his wits.
Looking back, I don't want to be greedy for the benefits of doing business with the yamen said by "Master Mask".
"You really don't want benefits?"
Tang Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Wang Zhan's character was quite decisive.
Wang Zhan is very firm,
"My lord, I know that I am not a businessman. Instead of ruining my father's family wealth, I would rather go back to my hometown and collect the rent. It is our duty as a common people to cooperate with the government, and we dare not be greedy for rewards."
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. It's fine if you don't have the ability to go back to your hometown to farm. However, since I promised to give you benefits, there is no reason to break your promise... so, I will give you some pointers." , after you return to your hometown, don’t plant things on the land at home for the time being, and don’t rush to rent out the land you bought, turn over all the fields and keep them, and when the spring is planted, good things will come to you.”
Being able to find Master Cai this time, Wang Zhan played the role of his pawn to the fullest, and Tang Yu didn't mind giving a verbal tip in return, so it was a good relationship.
"Thank you for your advice, my lord, I understand."
Wang Zhan was overjoyed.
After Wang Zhan returned home, he quickly went to the Zou family to pick up his younger sister, kicked out Zou Wenliang who wanted to rebel, and then sold the family's business goods and surplus real estate for money, and moved the family back to the countryside to live as idle landlords. Sir go.
Originally only planned to purchase dozens of acres of land, but also because of Tang Yu's reminder, he gritted his teeth and bought most of the money in his hand on the hills of Narita. If he didn't get the so-called "harvest" by the time, he would not lose it if he sold it. How many……
Let’s not talk about how the Wang family will get on the official infrastructure ship in the future.
After Tang Yu dealt with Wang Zhan here, he also remembered the sweet potatoes he asked his family to grow years ago. During this time, he was busy fighting for power with others, so he almost forgot about it.
Food matters must never be forgotten. Only when we have a full stomach can we have the strength to do other things. Solving the stomach problems of the people is the first task of the great cause of infrastructure construction!
Uncle Tang is the best at farming, and Grandmother Tang has always left it to him.
"Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, and they are very cold-resistant. I went to see them when it was snowing, and none of them were damaged by freezing. After the snow melts, they will grow again. Let them eat enough water and soil, and they will all be big."
Farming is Tang Sanshu's specialty, and he speaks with high spirits, feeling as if he has finally shown his self-worth.
Grandmother Tang also nodded with a smile, and patted her son on the shoulder in praise, "The third child is promising too..."
One sentence made Tang Sanshu's smile brighter, and he was rarely praised by his mother in his life.
This made Fourth Uncle Tang feel a little bit sour, "Mom, why do you praise Third Brother and not me? I don't grow bean sprouts and vegetables at home, so you can sell them to those big families."
Spicy eyes!Tang Yu looked away, the nine sons of the dragon were different, and the Tang family was a typical example.
"Yes, yes, the fourth brother is also worthy of praise. Tonight, I will test a chicken for each of you two brothers."
Grandmother Tang was very good at coaxing her sons, and she immediately praised her two sons with joy.
But Fourth Uncle Tang is indeed worthy of praise. During the Chinese New Year, the Tang family used the greenhouse method to grow a lot of vegetables, and the restaurant business was so good that they didn't consume them all. , I made a lot of money.
But at the end of the day, Tang Yu deserves some credit. Without him, the Tang family would definitely not be able to keep this source of income. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the value of off-season vegetables.
Therefore, no one can surpass him in the treatment of dinner at night, and the children of the Tang family are very envious.
"Don't be envious of your cousin, it's all because of your cousin's hard work in studying when he was a child. You study hard with your husband, so that you can marry a beautiful wife and a handsome husband in the future, otherwise you will be a bachelor for a lifetime and be an old girl for a lifetime..."
Grandmother Tang took the opportunity to educate.
Dabao, Daya, Erbao, Erya, Xiaojipei Mi nodded, "Got it, grandma."
Tang Wugu's face was much better, but Tang Wugu, who hadn't married yet, buried her head in the rice silently.
Fourth Aunt Tang saw that the atmosphere in the house was good now, she hesitated for a while and took the opportunity to speak, with a flattering smile,
"Mother, you are right. Only those who are knowledgeable in reading can be successful. Our nephew Yu is only good at reading, so he is so promising now. Let me say..."
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't go around with the old lady."
Grandmother Tang is such a fine person, how can she not guess that this is a prelude to her daughter-in-law's flattery, and there is something to say behind it.
Fourth Aunt smiled stiffly,
"Mother, look at what you said. How dare I go around with you. I really think that nephew Yu is capable, and reading is a good thing. So... mother, don't we invite a gentleman to teach at home, can we let my natal nephew Come to the side to listen too? You won’t be deceived when you go out to work after knowing a few more words.”
After the words fell, the room suddenly fell into silence, and Qi Qi looked at her.
The fourth aunt was made uncomfortable by the atmosphere, but she still insisted on continuing to say, facing her natal family the most,
"Just listen to it secretly, don't bother me to teach you personally, anyway, that gentleman has collected so much gold and silver from us, teaching one is teaching, teaching two is still teaching, and listening to two more is not a hindrance, big girl Mr. Overheard didn't say anything..."
"I didn't say it was for Yu's grandson's face!"
Grandmother Tang put her chopsticks heavily on the table, staring at her fourth daughter-in-law with unfriendly eyes.
"You have a good idea. You brought your nephew to our house to study. Why don't you bring all of your natal family to our house for dinner? You know how difficult it is to hire a husband. It depends on Yu's grandson." It’s only the face of the family that condescends, regardless of the big ones, Erya and Tingting also go to listen, you treat him as a servant of our family or a nanny, you can do whatever you want, huh?”
"It's younger brothers and sisters. If your nephew is here, do you want my nephew to come? We might as well turn our family into a private school."
The third aunt Zhang Chuntao also spoke, she couldn't understand Leng Shangxiang's behavior.
It doesn't matter to subsidize her mother's family, but there must be a degree. In the past, the second aunt's subsidy was also obtained from her own private house. Why did Leng Shangxiang take all the benefits of the family to her mother's family? The Tang family has not yet separated.
What's more, Leng Shangxiang's natal family doesn't necessarily treat this daughter very well, so she can't figure out why the siblings are so kind to their natal family, how stupid they are.
"Mother, my natal family is in the mountains and they are very poor. If I don't want to find a way to support me, who will I rely on when I die. Mother, for the sake of giving birth to a pair of sons and daughters for my husband, please be accommodating this time... ..."
Leng Shangxiang was turned red and white by her sister-in-law, but it was impossible for her not to help her natal family, and her natal family relied on her as a married woman.
But this time is not an ordinary thing. Usually, the daughter-in-law saves some private house to subsidize her mother’s family, and secretly puts some food back home. Grandmother Tang doesn’t care. Anyway, the family’s situation is not bad. The daughter-in-law’s family is really poor. One or two is not impossible.
But reading is different, not to mention that she has no face to ask her husband to agree to such a thing, if the Leng family really sends the doll over, will she be able to send it back in the future?
It's impossible to think about it with your toes. Considering the nature of the daughter-in-law's natal family, if they are sent here, their Tang family will definitely have to raise a baby for them.
Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface and need to be considered in the long run.
"Don't think about it, this matter won't work, you should weigh it yourself, or you can leave with the letter of divorce..."
Grandmother Tang stared at the two daughters-in-law with a bluffing face and warned.
"The situation at home is better now. I won't stop you if you want to help your natal family, but you have to be careful. Whoever's family is not supported by men, everything has to be taken care of by you married women. What are you brothers doing?" If that’s the case, then it’s better to marry your brothers out!”
Aunt Tang three and four aunts blushed with embarrassment.
Grandmother Tang didn't think there was anything wrong. Why did men have a higher status than women?Why was she treated better than her daughter since she was a child?Of course, they will support the family and earn money to support the family in the future. If they can't do it and rely on the help of married sisters for the rest of their lives, then why stay at home.
As far as the third and fourth children in her family were not forced by her to go out to work before, and the second daughter subsidized the family's money, it was also the eldest who subsidized the son-in-law first, which was regarded as a reward.
The two daughters-in-law's natal families have made no contribution to their Tang family, and their daily subsidies have been exhausted. Why should their Tang family raise children for others.
"Don't think that your mother is unreasonable. The money in the family can't afford it. The eldest and second treasures spend a lot of money on studying. It doesn't make sense for Yu's grandson to support your aunt's family for you aunts."
"Since your family is in difficulty, you should be filial to your children. From now on, the mother will be the master every month. Each of you will send fifty catties of white rice back home, boil some rice oil for the family to supplement, and put away other thoughts for me. "
Grandmother Tang threw out sticks and dates, and there was no room for negotiation.
Zhang Chuntao showed joy, and got an unexpected joy.
Leng Shangxiang pursed her lips, facing her mother-in-law's stern eyes, she could only swallow back the words aggrieved.
**********
77. The Leng family of course
Tang Yu didn't intervene in the treatment of Tang's grandmother.
Because he felt that the old lady was doing the right thing, even a little benevolent.
Originally, it is natural for a girl to help her natal family, but there are always rules and boundaries in everything, each family is its own life, no matter how rich your husband's family is, you can't just support your natal family, right?
What's more, he, a junior in the Tang family, is making money now, and the three and four bedrooms are all supported by nephews, so the aunt and aunt's family with such a big face come from there.
Furthermore, in this era, reading is very expensive, and celebrities who have been hired with great difficulty cannot be offended. When people come to teach at home, it is not just for the sake of money.
Even Zhang Chuntao understands the truth, and only Gu's family's dizzy Leng Shangxiang can say it.
Anyway, Grandmother Tang disagreed with this matter, and neither did the rest of the Tang family.
Leng Shangxiang had no choice but to go back and talk nicely to her husband, begging her to be a man,
"Sister-in-law, you can help my natal family. When you married me, you said that you would help me to be filial to my parents. My natal family is so poor. If I don't help anyone, how can I bear to look at my parents and brothers?" Enduring hardships in the valley, woo woo..."
Fourth Tang was very speechless, he had said this, but how did he know that his daughter-in-law was from her natal family, and her two children were not as important as her natal family!
Every time he heard this, he really didn't bother to teach this woman a lesson, because it was useless.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I don't know what's going on with your natal family? It's a little poor, and it's not as serious as you said. Don't think that you have secretly pressed down how many vegetables you have sold during this time. Send it back, at least half of the new house built by your family is silver from our Tang family."
This Leng Shangxiang felt guilty, "Yeah, I just built a small yard and put up tiles, and the walls are still earthen walls."
"You think I'm your husband-in-law and I'm so easy to deceive as the third brother? For the sake of Erbao and Erya, I won't care about these things with you. After all, they are our in-laws. It is also a matter of love to help make up for this, but reading this Forget about it, your natal family is clear to you, can you send the child back after sending it here?"
"No, my parents won't..."
"Your parents won't do it, your brother and sister-in-law will! If you want to support your children's education and let them make money and work hard, what's the point of looking forward to your in-laws every day? Mother didn't punish you, but also accommodated you and the third sister-in-law's family. Give another fifty catties of white rice every month, what else do you want?"
"Daughter-in-law, don't forget, the money in this family is not earned by your husband and I, and I have to rely on my nephew Yu to support my husband. What are you messing with? Sleep, sleep, eat and drink, what do you think all day long?" As for things, let’s talk about saving the emergency and not helping the poor..."
Tang Laosi pointed to his daughter-in-law's head and turned over to sleep.
He's not stupid, he knows exactly who his wife's family is, and it's enough to be affectionate, and it's more impossible.
"It's all your fault for being useless, woo hoo."
Leng Shangxiang was aggrieved and frustrated, and beat her man.
Tang Laosi snored directly, indicating that he had fallen asleep...
Leng Shangxiang had no choice but to give up for the time being, worrying in her heart that things were not done well, how to explain to her natal family.
In fact, she also knew that her mother-in-law was right. Her natal family's request was indeed a little too much, and if she didn't do it, she would offend the famous people who taught her.But what can she do, it's her natal family, she can't ignore it.
Only by studying can you get ahead. Didn't you see that both the eldest brother and the eldest nephew are successful in reading and writing? If her natal family can produce a scholar, she will also pull the family together.
Even if you can't read it, but you know the characters, you are no longer an ordinary person.
As for the fact that Grandmother Tang and Tang Laosi told her that her natal family sent the child over and they couldn't get rid of it, Leng Shangxiang didn't believe it.
She thinks that her natal family is a little tricky, but they are also responsible peasants, so they won't be so shameless. No matter what, they have to think about her daughter. If she really did that kind of thing, she will be very sad in the future of the Tang family. ?
So at this moment, Leng Shangxiang complained a little to the Tang family who did not agree with her.
When she returned home to send rice to the family, the family asked about studying, she was so guilty and guilty that she didn't know how to answer, she felt that she was so useless as a daughter, she was married to a good husband, but Failed to help the poor mother's family.
"You useless dead girl, you can't do this well. Your mother's family is so poor that you don't help. It really is the water thrown by the married daughter. You can bear to watch your brother and nephew spend the rest of their lives in the dirt." Plan food, you eat meat every day..."
When the parents of Leng's family heard that the matter failed, their smiling faces immediately turned angry, and they were very angry when they saw their daughter.
The younger brother of the Leng family also looked at his sister with reproachful eyes.
Leng Shangxiang was very wronged and uncomfortable, her husband's family said her, and her mother's family also said her.
"Mother, I've said it before, but my mother-in-law just doesn't agree, and my husband doesn't support me. It's useless for me to say anything."
"You gave birth to a pair of children for the Tang family, great hero, don't you know how to show some courage to break up with your mother-in-law?" The Leng family just felt that their daughter was useless.
Leng Shangxiang: Mother, you can do it!You don't know what my mother-in-law is like!
Of course the roar dared not roar out.
She was very confident, "Mom, I broke it up..." Actually, no, where did she get the courage to break it up with her mother-in-law?
"It doesn't work even if you break it, then you are useless! Isn't the Tang family's situation better now? Then Tang Yu went to the Yamen to work as a servant. He is half an official. What's wrong with Qian Duoshi helping our family?"
The Leng family was full of disapproval, "We just sent your two nephews there to learn a few words, and it's not that our whole family is going to Tang's house for dinner. What's wrong with such a trivial matter?"
"My family's elder sister and Erya have already eavesdropped, and if I send someone over there, my husband will definitely be unhappy..."
Leng Shangxiang's mosquito retorted in a voice. In fact, she still understood this point. She said before that she wanted to help her mother's family, so she was ashamed to speak up.
"Then let the big girl and the second girl stop listening, what words do the two girls learn in movies?"
The Leng family's attitude was taken for granted, and even felt that the Tang family's mind was broken, and they even let the girl study.
Now Leng Shangxiang stared at her parents a little sad, couldn't help it, "Mother, why can't Erya know how to read? You can marry well only if you can read. Why do you say that, mother?"
"Okay, okay, mother is wrong, mother is also worried about your two nephews, you said that our family is so poor, we must not be able to afford to go to a private school, if you don't go to your husband's house to learn something, what will you do when you grow up? Are you going to suffer as much as your brother and the others in the future? Do you think you have the heart to be an aunt..."
Seeing her daughter's sad expression, the mother of Leng's family quickly softened her attitude. She was soft, afraid that her daughter would feel that her mother's family would not care about her.
This trick is cold and delicious, and I really don't want to bear the hardships of my mother's family. Family affection is the most constant feeling of letting go.
But her husband's family made it clear that there was no discussion, and she wanted to make trouble but couldn't. If she wanted to make trouble, she would end up being suspended and going home.
But Leng Shangxiang really couldn't let go of her mother's family, so she could only save the country with curves,
"Mother, my mother-in-law said that she is not allowed to mention this matter again, and she will divorce me. Or...or I will save some money in the future and send more money and rice to the family. I will let Erbao Er Come back and teach Yangzi and Maizi how to write."
Although this compromise method has flaws, it is the best method at present.
The Leng family knew that the old lady of the Tang family was not a good person, and their daughter might be divorced if she continued to talk about it, so they had to give up after thinking about it, and they were very unhappy.
"Then remember what you said, and send more money and food back. Our family is poor, so we can count on you. If it weren't for the good marriage that your mother found for you, would you be able to eat and drink sweets in the Tang family? You have to remember well Look after your brothers and nephews, help me..."
"Understood, mother, don't worry, the family situation is good now, and it is much easier to save money."
Leng Shangxiang nodded obediently.
She doesn't need to be told by her mother, she will remember, her mother's family is the confidence of her daughter-in-law.I didn't see the second aunt being bullied by her husband's family. In the end, she was not supported by her mother's family. She would not forget her mother's family.
But sometimes people are different from each other, you can't generalize, you have to keep your eyes open for everything...
But apparently Leng Shangxiang didn't understand this truth for the time being, and after returning home, he started to save money wholeheartedly in various ways, and then sent it back to her natal home.
Grandmother Tang didn't notice it for the time being.
Zhang Chuntao stared at her sister-in-law all day long, but she saw it, but she was not in a hurry to report to her mother-in-law, but was happy to watch the show.
This Leng Shangxiang is usually very smart, but he becomes an idiot when he is placed on his natal family.
I don't even think about this melon. If the Leng family really cares about her daughter, how can they let the daughter calculate the husband's money and send it back. This is what men and mothers-in-law are most taboo about.
For those girls who really love each other, which father and mother didn't think of a way to prepare more dowry and send more things, so that the daughter would have more face and confidence in her husband's house.
Only the idiot Leng Shangxiang was foolish enough to listen to her natal family's nonsense, and to think that her natal family could support her...
Zhang Chuntao wanted to watch a good show, pretended not to know about it, and waited for Tang's grandmother to find out and get mad.
And the Leng family.
Although he has already saved the country, he is still not reconciled in his heart. Everyone knows that only by reading can one be successful, so what is the use of just knowing a few words?
Since the Tang family is so ruthless and unwilling to help, they can only let their daughter be a rice vat mouse.
The silver that Leng Shangxiang sent back was kept, and the rice, grain and cloth were taken to the border of the grassland, and exchanged with the poorer barbarian tribes on the grassland for fur cattle and sheep, and then they could earn a lot of money by selling them.
The winter in Licheng is not over yet, and the winter in the grassland is longer. The barbarian tribes are most short of food and clothing. Anyone who has no business sense knows how profitable it is to exchange food and cloth at this time...
*******
78. The fourth aunt was divorced
Since the family's finances were loose and no copper baht had to be painstakingly broken in half, Grandmother Tang took care of the family's food and drink expenses much more loosely.
The family's rice and food were no longer moved into her house, and the kitchen was handed over to the two daughter-in-laws, and the meals were also handed over to the daughter-in-law and the housekeeper's old lady.
She naturally wants to enjoy the blessings. She has worked hard for half her life. Does she still have to serve the whole family at her age?Only her grandson, Yu Yu, has this kind of treatment.
Therefore, this happened to be convenient for Leng Shangxiang to hide things.
She didn't dare to touch the silver, but it was easy to hide a bowl of flour, a bowl of rice, half a bowl of oil, etc. when cooking.
Except for Tang Laosi, who went to the escort agency, the family basically had three meals a day at home, and even Tang Yu was in the Yamen, and at noon, the family prepared and sent them over. It is conceivable how quickly Leng Shangxiang "stores" things .
There is also the cloth for making clothes at home, pieced together from east to west, and a little from west, the accumulated rags can also be sewn into cloth for hundreds of quilts.
Grandmother Tang didn't pay attention for the first two days, but Grandmother Tang came from a poor background and was careful with the things in the house.
"No, the rice we bought earlier was enough for our family to last for at least half a month. Why did we finish it in less than ten days? Sister Wei, did you say everything was right when you bought the grain?"
Grandma Tang asked the housekeeper.
The butler and his wife have worked in the Tang family for many years. They are serious in their work and have a solid personality.
"Old sister, it's definitely right. If you don't say it right, I can take it out with my hand." Wei Li was sure.
"That's weird, I haven't found anyone in the family who eats a lot lately..."
Grandma Tang frowned, sensing something was wrong, "Who cooks at home recently?"
From what she saw, the family is definitely a monk, and her courage has grown, and she dares to challenge her prestige.
"It's the third lady and the fourth lady, the fifth lady goes there once in a while..."
Mrs. Wei Li answered, then looked around, leaned over and whispered, "Madam, the day before yesterday I saw Si Niangzi went back to her mother's house and took Miss Erya back. I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I think about it, it's a bit strange." , Si Niangzi went back to her mother's house twice this month."
"It seems that the fourth daughter-in-law is right. The third daughter-in-law is not courageous, so she is the one with the shortest memory in the fourth family. Go, go to Leng Shangxiang's natal village to find out, and then call me over."
Grandma Tang narrowed her eyes and sharpened her knife.
When Leng Shangxiang was brought in front of her mother-in-law, she refused to admit it to the death and tried to shirk it to Zhang Chuntao.
Because when she hid things, she thought about it. When cooking, she and Zhang Chuntao were the two of them in the kitchen. As long as she refused to admit it and her mother-in-law didn't have evidence, she couldn't do anything to her. Anyway, the Tang family wanted face. There must be a valid reason to divorce a wife, right?
When Tang Yu and Tang Laosi went home at night, there was a time when the house was in a mess.
Grandmother Tang is not a good-tempered person, her ruthlessness when dealing with people is simply a replica of Nanny Rong, if she is identified as Leng Shangxiang, then she will interrogate unceremoniously, holding a willow stick and questioning, illiterate The sons and daughters-in-law of the old housekeeper's house all do this.
As for whether Leng Shangxiang will be wronged?That's impossible, as long as it's for legitimate use at home, she doesn't treat anyone harshly now, it's delicious and easy to use, who would do such a thing of secretly hiding food.
Leng Shangxiang said she was the third daughter-in-law?Even if she believed that a sow climbed a tree, she didn't believe this. The third daughter-in-law had a normal relationship with her natal family, so where would the food she hid be sent?
Therefore, the only one who can do sneaky things is Leng Shangxiang!
"You said it wasn't you, then tell me how your natal family recently started a reselling business with the prairie barbarian tribe? Where did their capital come from?"
Grandmother Tang didn't talk to Leng Shangxiang at all, she just presented the evidence after the lesson was learned.
"I have already asked Wei Meizi to go to your natal house to inquire. People in your village said that you have gone back twice this month, and each time you go back, you bring a cart full of things, such as grain, cloth, pottery, oil and salt. Sauce and vinegar, are your mother’s family pigs? You have to eat food, oil and salt for a month? Can you buy so many things with your private money?”
That's definitely not possible.
Tang Lao Si didn't make any money, and he was still working in the bodyguard bureau.The family has enough pocket money for the daughter-in-law every month, even if Leng Shangxiang is really powerful, and if she secretly deducts some money from other places, she still can't save that much.
What can be denied for being so cold and fragrant?Now all the family eats are white flour and rice. These things may not look good at first sight, but they are really worth a lot. One catty of fine grains can exchange several catties of coarse grains.
There are also the scraps left over from making clothes. Although they are rags, they are all very good cloth and are still valuable.
"Daughter-in-law, did you really steal so many things from home?"
Tang Laosi became anxious when he heard this, and looked at his daughter-in-law with hatred. Stealing is not a good behavior in the first place, but now he is stealing so much, he is going to die.
Seeing this, Zhang Chuntao gloated and added, "It's more than that, fourth brother, look at what Erbao Erya is wearing inside..."
Hearing this, Grandmother Tang's complexion was not good, and she hurried to see her grandchildren.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you see that the two children are still wearing old clothes from when they were poor, they can't hold back their anger.
Grandmother Tang picked up the willow stick in her hand and gave Leng Shangxiang another slap in the face, she was so angry that she said, "You bloody unlucky one, where did the silk and satin in Erbao Erya go?!"
The old lady is a favorite, but the treatment of family members still depends on the family's economic situation.
Since getting back a lot of gold and silver money from He Changlin, she can't show her wealth on the surface, but secretly the old lady is changing the treatment of her family, so don't look at the Tang family's ordinary clothes on the outside, but inside they eat rice and meat every day , and the clothes inside are also made of silk and satin.
From Grandma Tang's point of view, it is certain to suffer without money, and one should enjoy it if one has money, otherwise the money will not be taken away even if one dies.
As a result, Leng Shangxiang not only hid food, but also hid the clothes and fabrics of his own son and daughter!
"Mother-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive me. My natal family is poor, and I can't help it. I can't watch my parents, brother and nephew suffer."
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Leng Shangxiang finally cried and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Grandma Tang was very angry, "Then you can watch your son and daughter suffer?"
"I, I, my family are living a good life now. Erbao and Erya don't lack these clothes for a while. I think I will do it later, but mother-in-law, my mother's family can't wait, my parents are very strong. Not good, I have to drink medicine in winter..."
Leng Shangxiang cried and explained, and began to feel guilty, and later said that the situation of her natal family became more emboldened. She is a married daughter-in-law, but she can't ignore her natal family.
Now even Tang Lao Si was furious, "Your parents talk like fart, you believe it!"
Leng Shangxiang continued to cry, looked at her husband, and silently expressed an expression of 'I don't believe who my parents believe'.
Everyone in the Tang family was speechless for a while. This woman seemed to have been completely brainwashed. She had no ability to judge at all. The Leng family was also very powerful, coaxing this daughter.
"Okay, since you listen to your parents so much, then go back to your Leng's house. Grandson Yu, help grandma engrave a divorce letter for her!"
Seeing her daughter-in-law's attitude, Grandma Tang finally became cruel.
As soon as the words came out, the family also raised their heads, a little frightened.
"Mother-in-law, I was wrong, please don't divorce me, mother-in-law woooo..."
This time Leng Shangxiang really cried to death.
Tang Laosi hurriedly said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is at fault, but let's give her another chance. At any rate, she is also the mother of Erbao Erya, so she can finally contribute to our family."
"Mother-in-law, in fact, the heart of the siblings is not bad. She is always filial to her mother's family. The lesson is, use it, don't need to stop."
Even Zhang Chuntao couldn't help asking for help.
Although she wants to see a good show, she doesn't really want Leng Shangxiang to be divorced. After all, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law have been together for so many years, and they don't have any deep hatred. If the fourth brother marries again, what if the other party is not easy to get along with?
"Don't talk to any of you, I've made up my mind. This woman doesn't have our Tang family in her heart. It's useless no matter how many chances you give her. If you don't drive her away today, who knows when she will evacuate us!"
"I've said hello before. She doesn't take my words to heart, and she'll come in when she's not clear. She's really courageous...Whoever pleads for him again, get out with her."
Grandma Tang slapped the table with a cold face, "Grandson Yu, carve a book for grandma!"
"Yes, grandmother."
Tang Yu looked at Leng Shangxiang who was crying so hard, and then at his grandmother's face, thought about it, and nodded.
Now the old lady is the oldest and most senior in the family, except for Tang Yu, who supports the family, it is the old lady who has the most say.
Grandmother Tang wanted to divorce her daughter-in-law. As long as there was a legitimate reason, no one could resist, and no one could say that she was at fault.Seeing that Grandma Tang has made up her mind, no one in the family dares to help and intercede anymore. The old lady can definitely say and do this matter of eviction.
Besides, today's end was Leng Shangxiang's own fault, everyone couldn't figure it out, the Leng family obviously didn't treat this daughter very well, why did Leng Shangxiang work so hard on her mother's family, could it be that there is something wrong with her brain?
Without any suspense, Leng Shangxiang was sent back to Leng's house, along with a divorce letter.
Seeing the divorced daughter, the Leng family didn't expect the Tang family to do it, and they were dumbfounded for a while...
The Leng family will talk about it later, and now continue to transfer back to the Tang family.
For the Tang family who attached great importance to family members in their bones, no one was happy about Leng Shangxiang's departure, including sister-in-law Zhang Chuntao, who felt a little sad.
Although there are often minor frictions and quarrels in the family, the overall harmony is still very harmonious. After getting along with each other for almost half a lifetime, there is still a lot of affection between each other. At this moment, the atmosphere of the Tang family is unavoidably depressing and silent.
Everyone wanted to intercede for Leng Shangxiang again, but Grandma Tang went back to her room to rest after eating, and made it clear that no one should talk about it.
Especially for Tang Lao Si, Grandmother Tang directly told him not to go home for a few days, and not to be an eyesore when he lived in the escort agency.
Tang Laosi was anxious and crying, his mother was really angry this time, and so was his daughter-in-law, why can't he figure it out!
He had no choice but to find Tang Yu, the only nephew in the whole family who could speak in front of the old lady.
"Nephew Yu, fourth uncle also knows that your fourth aunt has gone too far this time, but she has no bad intentions. She is also filial to her mother's family. It is her parents who have bad intentions and deceive her. Go tell your grandmother. Say, please help your fourth aunt, and your fourth uncle will remember you..."
After all, they have been husband and wife for many years, Tang Laosi still has some affection for Leng Shangxiang.
He also knew that he was useless, and he hadn't done anything for so many years. Although Leng Shangxiang followed him to get some favors from his brothers and nephews, and didn't suffer too much in life, he never showed any shame on his face. this fair
After finding out Mr. Cai, Tang Yu can finally take revenge.
During this period of time, it was very cool to score points with the tyrant, but he was always viewed with colored glasses by others. No matter how good his psychological quality was, he couldn't feel comfortable.
What's more, he is now part of the Tang family, and the affairs of the Tang family are his affairs. Father Tang's hard-earned family business has become someone else's pocket, how can he let it go so easily?
After discussing with Yin Yu, Tang Yu turned around and started to act immediately, using the old method of "encountering and listening to the corner of the wall" to give Qu Gong an "unexpected harvest".
Of course, Mr. Qu is no better at fooling around than those little guys before, so naturally he won't believe it easily.
But when there is suspicion, it is easy to catch wind and shadows. People in high positions are generally deep and suspicious. Even if the other party doesn't believe it, they will inevitably stay vigilant and can't help paying attention.
What's more, Mr. Cai is already ambitious and restless.
He didn't suspect that the other party was his confidant for many years before, but now he became vigilant, Qu Gong quickly discovered the other party's clues, and after careful investigation, how could he still not know the other party's evil intentions.
Qu Gong was immediately angry: What a Cai Changqing, he dared to make moves under his nose, and wanted to kill him and replace him!
This anger is no lower than that of Yin Yu. Anyway, Yin Yu is an opponent of the Qu family, and the enmity is also on the surface; Cai Changqing is betrayal, and the nature is much worse.
For a while, Qu Gong's energy was attracted to the other party, and he was sure that Yin Yu's plan was going well, so he immediately opened fire and bombarded Cai Changqing.
However, the Cai family is also a hundred-year-old family in Licheng. It is only because there is no one in Wangcheng that they are always inferior to the Qu family. As a real power in Licheng, the Cai family is like the second in command of a cottage, evenly matched.
Seeing that his ambition was exposed, Mr. Cai simply couldn't bear it anymore. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two began to fight.
The lord was exposed, and Ding Chang's little ones naturally couldn't please him. Master Cai was angry with them for not doing things well, so he directly found an excuse to confiscate their property and fields, and then drove them out of Licheng.
Wang Zhan was finally cleared of his charges because of being framed by others, and he walked out of the prison intact. He almost had the illusion of walking through the gate of hell and seeing the light of day again.
"Forget it, the people in this place are sinister, if I continue to play with my head, I will die. I'd better go back to my hometown and be a landlord..."
After experiencing a big ups and downs, Wang Zhan was scared out of his wits.
Looking back, I don't want to be greedy for the benefits of doing business with the yamen said by "Master Mask".
"You really don't want benefits?"
Tang Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Wang Zhan's character was quite decisive.
Wang Zhan is very firm,
"My lord, I know that I am not a businessman. Instead of ruining my father's family wealth, I would rather go back to my hometown and collect the rent. It is our duty as a common people to cooperate with the government, and we dare not be greedy for rewards."
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. It's fine if you don't have the ability to go back to your hometown to farm. However, since I promised to give you benefits, there is no reason to break your promise... so, I will give you some pointers." , after you return to your hometown, don’t plant things on the land at home for the time being, and don’t rush to rent out the land you bought, turn over all the fields and keep them, and when the spring is planted, good things will come to you.”
Being able to find Master Cai this time, Wang Zhan played the role of his pawn to the fullest, and Tang Yu didn't mind giving a verbal tip in return, so it was a good relationship.
"Thank you for your advice, my lord, I understand."
Wang Zhan was overjoyed.
After Wang Zhan returned home, he quickly went to the Zou family to pick up his younger sister, kicked out Zou Wenliang who wanted to rebel, and then sold the family's business goods and surplus real estate for money, and moved the family back to the countryside to live as idle landlords. Sir go.
Originally only planned to purchase dozens of acres of land, but also because of Tang Yu's reminder, he gritted his teeth and bought most of the money in his hand on the hills of Narita. If he didn't get the so-called "harvest" by the time, he would not lose it if he sold it. How many……
Let’s not talk about how the Wang family will get on the official infrastructure ship in the future.
After Tang Yu dealt with Wang Zhan here, he also remembered the sweet potatoes he asked his family to grow years ago. During this time, he was busy fighting for power with others, so he almost forgot about it.
Food matters must never be forgotten. Only when we have a full stomach can we have the strength to do other things. Solving the stomach problems of the people is the first task of the great cause of infrastructure construction!
Uncle Tang is the best at farming, and Grandmother Tang has always left it to him.
"Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, and they are very cold-resistant. I went to see them when it was snowing, and none of them were damaged by freezing. After the snow melts, they will grow again. Let them eat enough water and soil, and they will all be big."
Farming is Tang Sanshu's specialty, and he speaks with high spirits, feeling as if he has finally shown his self-worth.
Grandmother Tang also nodded with a smile, and patted her son on the shoulder in praise, "The third child is promising too..."
One sentence made Tang Sanshu's smile brighter, and he was rarely praised by his mother in his life.
This made Fourth Uncle Tang feel a little bit sour, "Mom, why do you praise Third Brother and not me? I don't grow bean sprouts and vegetables at home, so you can sell them to those big families."
Spicy eyes!Tang Yu looked away, the nine sons of the dragon were different, and the Tang family was a typical example.
"Yes, yes, the fourth brother is also worthy of praise. Tonight, I will test a chicken for each of you two brothers."
Grandmother Tang was very good at coaxing her sons, and she immediately praised her two sons with joy.
But Fourth Uncle Tang is indeed worthy of praise. During the Chinese New Year, the Tang family used the greenhouse method to grow a lot of vegetables, and the restaurant business was so good that they didn't consume them all. , I made a lot of money.
But at the end of the day, Tang Yu deserves some credit. Without him, the Tang family would definitely not be able to keep this source of income. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the value of off-season vegetables.
Therefore, no one can surpass him in the treatment of dinner at night, and the children of the Tang family are very envious.
"Don't be envious of your cousin, it's all because of your cousin's hard work in studying when he was a child. You study hard with your husband, so that you can marry a beautiful wife and a handsome husband in the future, otherwise you will be a bachelor for a lifetime and be an old girl for a lifetime..."
Grandmother Tang took the opportunity to educate.
Dabao, Daya, Erbao, Erya, Xiaojipei Mi nodded, "Got it, grandma."
Tang Wugu's face was much better, but Tang Wugu, who hadn't married yet, buried her head in the rice silently.
Fourth Aunt Tang saw that the atmosphere in the house was good now, she hesitated for a while and took the opportunity to speak, with a flattering smile,
"Mother, you are right. Only those who are knowledgeable in reading can be successful. Our nephew Yu is only good at reading, so he is so promising now. Let me say..."
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't go around with the old lady."
Grandmother Tang is such a fine person, how can she not guess that this is a prelude to her daughter-in-law's flattery, and there is something to say behind it.
Fourth Aunt smiled stiffly,
"Mother, look at what you said. How dare I go around with you. I really think that nephew Yu is capable, and reading is a good thing. So... mother, don't we invite a gentleman to teach at home, can we let my natal nephew Come to the side to listen too? You won’t be deceived when you go out to work after knowing a few more words.”
After the words fell, the room suddenly fell into silence, and Qi Qi looked at her.
The fourth aunt was made uncomfortable by the atmosphere, but she still insisted on continuing to say, facing her natal family the most,
"Just listen to it secretly, don't bother me to teach you personally, anyway, that gentleman has collected so much gold and silver from us, teaching one is teaching, teaching two is still teaching, and listening to two more is not a hindrance, big girl Mr. Overheard didn't say anything..."
"I didn't say it was for Yu's grandson's face!"
Grandmother Tang put her chopsticks heavily on the table, staring at her fourth daughter-in-law with unfriendly eyes.
"You have a good idea. You brought your nephew to our house to study. Why don't you bring all of your natal family to our house for dinner? You know how difficult it is to hire a husband. It depends on Yu's grandson." It’s only the face of the family that condescends, regardless of the big ones, Erya and Tingting also go to listen, you treat him as a servant of our family or a nanny, you can do whatever you want, huh?”
"It's younger brothers and sisters. If your nephew is here, do you want my nephew to come? We might as well turn our family into a private school."
The third aunt Zhang Chuntao also spoke, she couldn't understand Leng Shangxiang's behavior.
It doesn't matter to subsidize her mother's family, but there must be a degree. In the past, the second aunt's subsidy was also obtained from her own private house. Why did Leng Shangxiang take all the benefits of the family to her mother's family? The Tang family has not yet separated.
What's more, Leng Shangxiang's natal family doesn't necessarily treat this daughter very well, so she can't figure out why the siblings are so kind to their natal family, how stupid they are.
"Mother, my natal family is in the mountains and they are very poor. If I don't want to find a way to support me, who will I rely on when I die. Mother, for the sake of giving birth to a pair of sons and daughters for my husband, please be accommodating this time... ..."
Leng Shangxiang was turned red and white by her sister-in-law, but it was impossible for her not to help her natal family, and her natal family relied on her as a married woman.
But this time is not an ordinary thing. Usually, the daughter-in-law saves some private house to subsidize her mother’s family, and secretly puts some food back home. Grandmother Tang doesn’t care. Anyway, the family’s situation is not bad. The daughter-in-law’s family is really poor. One or two is not impossible.
But reading is different, not to mention that she has no face to ask her husband to agree to such a thing, if the Leng family really sends the doll over, will she be able to send it back in the future?
It's impossible to think about it with your toes. Considering the nature of the daughter-in-law's natal family, if they are sent here, their Tang family will definitely have to raise a baby for them.
Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface and need to be considered in the long run.
"Don't think about it, this matter won't work, you should weigh it yourself, or you can leave with the letter of divorce..."
Grandmother Tang stared at the two daughters-in-law with a bluffing face and warned.
"The situation at home is better now. I won't stop you if you want to help your natal family, but you have to be careful. Whoever's family is not supported by men, everything has to be taken care of by you married women. What are you brothers doing?" If that’s the case, then it’s better to marry your brothers out!”
Aunt Tang three and four aunts blushed with embarrassment.
Grandmother Tang didn't think there was anything wrong. Why did men have a higher status than women?Why was she treated better than her daughter since she was a child?Of course, they will support the family and earn money to support the family in the future. If they can't do it and rely on the help of married sisters for the rest of their lives, then why stay at home.
As far as the third and fourth children in her family were not forced by her to go out to work before, and the second daughter subsidized the family's money, it was also the eldest who subsidized the son-in-law first, which was regarded as a reward.
The two daughters-in-law's natal families have made no contribution to their Tang family, and their daily subsidies have been exhausted. Why should their Tang family raise children for others.
"Don't think that your mother is unreasonable. The money in the family can't afford it. The eldest and second treasures spend a lot of money on studying. It doesn't make sense for Yu's grandson to support your aunt's family for you aunts."
"Since your family is in difficulty, you should be filial to your children. From now on, the mother will be the master every month. Each of you will send fifty catties of white rice back home, boil some rice oil for the family to supplement, and put away other thoughts for me. "
Grandmother Tang threw out sticks and dates, and there was no room for negotiation.
Zhang Chuntao showed joy, and got an unexpected joy.
Leng Shangxiang pursed her lips, facing her mother-in-law's stern eyes, she could only swallow back the words aggrieved.
**********
77. The Leng family of course
Tang Yu didn't intervene in the treatment of Tang's grandmother.
Because he felt that the old lady was doing the right thing, even a little benevolent.
Originally, it is natural for a girl to help her natal family, but there are always rules and boundaries in everything, each family is its own life, no matter how rich your husband's family is, you can't just support your natal family, right?
What's more, he, a junior in the Tang family, is making money now, and the three and four bedrooms are all supported by nephews, so the aunt and aunt's family with such a big face come from there.
Furthermore, in this era, reading is very expensive, and celebrities who have been hired with great difficulty cannot be offended. When people come to teach at home, it is not just for the sake of money.
Even Zhang Chuntao understands the truth, and only Gu's family's dizzy Leng Shangxiang can say it.
Anyway, Grandmother Tang disagreed with this matter, and neither did the rest of the Tang family.
Leng Shangxiang had no choice but to go back and talk nicely to her husband, begging her to be a man,
"Sister-in-law, you can help my natal family. When you married me, you said that you would help me to be filial to my parents. My natal family is so poor. If I don't help anyone, how can I bear to look at my parents and brothers?" Enduring hardships in the valley, woo woo..."
Fourth Tang was very speechless, he had said this, but how did he know that his daughter-in-law was from her natal family, and her two children were not as important as her natal family!
Every time he heard this, he really didn't bother to teach this woman a lesson, because it was useless.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I don't know what's going on with your natal family? It's a little poor, and it's not as serious as you said. Don't think that you have secretly pressed down how many vegetables you have sold during this time. Send it back, at least half of the new house built by your family is silver from our Tang family."
This Leng Shangxiang felt guilty, "Yeah, I just built a small yard and put up tiles, and the walls are still earthen walls."
"You think I'm your husband-in-law and I'm so easy to deceive as the third brother? For the sake of Erbao and Erya, I won't care about these things with you. After all, they are our in-laws. It is also a matter of love to help make up for this, but reading this Forget about it, your natal family is clear to you, can you send the child back after sending it here?"
"No, my parents won't..."
"Your parents won't do it, your brother and sister-in-law will! If you want to support your children's education and let them make money and work hard, what's the point of looking forward to your in-laws every day? Mother didn't punish you, but also accommodated you and the third sister-in-law's family. Give another fifty catties of white rice every month, what else do you want?"
"Daughter-in-law, don't forget, the money in this family is not earned by your husband and I, and I have to rely on my nephew Yu to support my husband. What are you messing with? Sleep, sleep, eat and drink, what do you think all day long?" As for things, let’s talk about saving the emergency and not helping the poor..."
Tang Laosi pointed to his daughter-in-law's head and turned over to sleep.
He's not stupid, he knows exactly who his wife's family is, and it's enough to be affectionate, and it's more impossible.
"It's all your fault for being useless, woo hoo."
Leng Shangxiang was aggrieved and frustrated, and beat her man.
Tang Laosi snored directly, indicating that he had fallen asleep...
Leng Shangxiang had no choice but to give up for the time being, worrying in her heart that things were not done well, how to explain to her natal family.
In fact, she also knew that her mother-in-law was right. Her natal family's request was indeed a little too much, and if she didn't do it, she would offend the famous people who taught her.But what can she do, it's her natal family, she can't ignore it.
Only by studying can you get ahead. Didn't you see that both the eldest brother and the eldest nephew are successful in reading and writing? If her natal family can produce a scholar, she will also pull the family together.
Even if you can't read it, but you know the characters, you are no longer an ordinary person.
As for the fact that Grandmother Tang and Tang Laosi told her that her natal family sent the child over and they couldn't get rid of it, Leng Shangxiang didn't believe it.
She thinks that her natal family is a little tricky, but they are also responsible peasants, so they won't be so shameless. No matter what, they have to think about her daughter. If she really did that kind of thing, she will be very sad in the future of the Tang family. ?
So at this moment, Leng Shangxiang complained a little to the Tang family who did not agree with her.
When she returned home to send rice to the family, the family asked about studying, she was so guilty and guilty that she didn't know how to answer, she felt that she was so useless as a daughter, she was married to a good husband, but Failed to help the poor mother's family.
"You useless dead girl, you can't do this well. Your mother's family is so poor that you don't help. It really is the water thrown by the married daughter. You can bear to watch your brother and nephew spend the rest of their lives in the dirt." Plan food, you eat meat every day..."
When the parents of Leng's family heard that the matter failed, their smiling faces immediately turned angry, and they were very angry when they saw their daughter.
The younger brother of the Leng family also looked at his sister with reproachful eyes.
Leng Shangxiang was very wronged and uncomfortable, her husband's family said her, and her mother's family also said her.
"Mother, I've said it before, but my mother-in-law just doesn't agree, and my husband doesn't support me. It's useless for me to say anything."
"You gave birth to a pair of children for the Tang family, great hero, don't you know how to show some courage to break up with your mother-in-law?" The Leng family just felt that their daughter was useless.
Leng Shangxiang: Mother, you can do it!You don't know what my mother-in-law is like!
Of course the roar dared not roar out.
She was very confident, "Mom, I broke it up..." Actually, no, where did she get the courage to break it up with her mother-in-law?
"It doesn't work even if you break it, then you are useless! Isn't the Tang family's situation better now? Then Tang Yu went to the Yamen to work as a servant. He is half an official. What's wrong with Qian Duoshi helping our family?"
The Leng family was full of disapproval, "We just sent your two nephews there to learn a few words, and it's not that our whole family is going to Tang's house for dinner. What's wrong with such a trivial matter?"
"My family's elder sister and Erya have already eavesdropped, and if I send someone over there, my husband will definitely be unhappy..."
Leng Shangxiang's mosquito retorted in a voice. In fact, she still understood this point. She said before that she wanted to help her mother's family, so she was ashamed to speak up.
"Then let the big girl and the second girl stop listening, what words do the two girls learn in movies?"
The Leng family's attitude was taken for granted, and even felt that the Tang family's mind was broken, and they even let the girl study.
Now Leng Shangxiang stared at her parents a little sad, couldn't help it, "Mother, why can't Erya know how to read? You can marry well only if you can read. Why do you say that, mother?"
"Okay, okay, mother is wrong, mother is also worried about your two nephews, you said that our family is so poor, we must not be able to afford to go to a private school, if you don't go to your husband's house to learn something, what will you do when you grow up? Are you going to suffer as much as your brother and the others in the future? Do you think you have the heart to be an aunt..."
Seeing her daughter's sad expression, the mother of Leng's family quickly softened her attitude. She was soft, afraid that her daughter would feel that her mother's family would not care about her.
This trick is cold and delicious, and I really don't want to bear the hardships of my mother's family. Family affection is the most constant feeling of letting go.
But her husband's family made it clear that there was no discussion, and she wanted to make trouble but couldn't. If she wanted to make trouble, she would end up being suspended and going home.
But Leng Shangxiang really couldn't let go of her mother's family, so she could only save the country with curves,
"Mother, my mother-in-law said that she is not allowed to mention this matter again, and she will divorce me. Or...or I will save some money in the future and send more money and rice to the family. I will let Erbao Er Come back and teach Yangzi and Maizi how to write."
Although this compromise method has flaws, it is the best method at present.
The Leng family knew that the old lady of the Tang family was not a good person, and their daughter might be divorced if she continued to talk about it, so they had to give up after thinking about it, and they were very unhappy.
"Then remember what you said, and send more money and food back. Our family is poor, so we can count on you. If it weren't for the good marriage that your mother found for you, would you be able to eat and drink sweets in the Tang family? You have to remember well Look after your brothers and nephews, help me..."
"Understood, mother, don't worry, the family situation is good now, and it is much easier to save money."
Leng Shangxiang nodded obediently.
She doesn't need to be told by her mother, she will remember, her mother's family is the confidence of her daughter-in-law.I didn't see the second aunt being bullied by her husband's family. In the end, she was not supported by her mother's family. She would not forget her mother's family.
But sometimes people are different from each other, you can't generalize, you have to keep your eyes open for everything...
But apparently Leng Shangxiang didn't understand this truth for the time being, and after returning home, he started to save money wholeheartedly in various ways, and then sent it back to her natal home.
Grandmother Tang didn't notice it for the time being.
Zhang Chuntao stared at her sister-in-law all day long, but she saw it, but she was not in a hurry to report to her mother-in-law, but was happy to watch the show.
This Leng Shangxiang is usually very smart, but he becomes an idiot when he is placed on his natal family.
I don't even think about this melon. If the Leng family really cares about her daughter, how can they let the daughter calculate the husband's money and send it back. This is what men and mothers-in-law are most taboo about.
For those girls who really love each other, which father and mother didn't think of a way to prepare more dowry and send more things, so that the daughter would have more face and confidence in her husband's house.
Only the idiot Leng Shangxiang was foolish enough to listen to her natal family's nonsense, and to think that her natal family could support her...
Zhang Chuntao wanted to watch a good show, pretended not to know about it, and waited for Tang's grandmother to find out and get mad.
And the Leng family.
Although he has already saved the country, he is still not reconciled in his heart. Everyone knows that only by reading can one be successful, so what is the use of just knowing a few words?
Since the Tang family is so ruthless and unwilling to help, they can only let their daughter be a rice vat mouse.
The silver that Leng Shangxiang sent back was kept, and the rice, grain and cloth were taken to the border of the grassland, and exchanged with the poorer barbarian tribes on the grassland for fur cattle and sheep, and then they could earn a lot of money by selling them.
The winter in Licheng is not over yet, and the winter in the grassland is longer. The barbarian tribes are most short of food and clothing. Anyone who has no business sense knows how profitable it is to exchange food and cloth at this time...
*******
78. The fourth aunt was divorced
Since the family's finances were loose and no copper baht had to be painstakingly broken in half, Grandmother Tang took care of the family's food and drink expenses much more loosely.
The family's rice and food were no longer moved into her house, and the kitchen was handed over to the two daughter-in-laws, and the meals were also handed over to the daughter-in-law and the housekeeper's old lady.
She naturally wants to enjoy the blessings. She has worked hard for half her life. Does she still have to serve the whole family at her age?Only her grandson, Yu Yu, has this kind of treatment.
Therefore, this happened to be convenient for Leng Shangxiang to hide things.
She didn't dare to touch the silver, but it was easy to hide a bowl of flour, a bowl of rice, half a bowl of oil, etc. when cooking.
Except for Tang Laosi, who went to the escort agency, the family basically had three meals a day at home, and even Tang Yu was in the Yamen, and at noon, the family prepared and sent them over. It is conceivable how quickly Leng Shangxiang "stores" things .
There is also the cloth for making clothes at home, pieced together from east to west, and a little from west, the accumulated rags can also be sewn into cloth for hundreds of quilts.
Grandmother Tang didn't pay attention for the first two days, but Grandmother Tang came from a poor background and was careful with the things in the house.
"No, the rice we bought earlier was enough for our family to last for at least half a month. Why did we finish it in less than ten days? Sister Wei, did you say everything was right when you bought the grain?"
Grandma Tang asked the housekeeper.
The butler and his wife have worked in the Tang family for many years. They are serious in their work and have a solid personality.
"Old sister, it's definitely right. If you don't say it right, I can take it out with my hand." Wei Li was sure.
"That's weird, I haven't found anyone in the family who eats a lot lately..."
Grandma Tang frowned, sensing something was wrong, "Who cooks at home recently?"
From what she saw, the family is definitely a monk, and her courage has grown, and she dares to challenge her prestige.
"It's the third lady and the fourth lady, the fifth lady goes there once in a while..."
Mrs. Wei Li answered, then looked around, leaned over and whispered, "Madam, the day before yesterday I saw Si Niangzi went back to her mother's house and took Miss Erya back. I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I think about it, it's a bit strange." , Si Niangzi went back to her mother's house twice this month."
"It seems that the fourth daughter-in-law is right. The third daughter-in-law is not courageous, so she is the one with the shortest memory in the fourth family. Go, go to Leng Shangxiang's natal village to find out, and then call me over."
Grandma Tang narrowed her eyes and sharpened her knife.
When Leng Shangxiang was brought in front of her mother-in-law, she refused to admit it to the death and tried to shirk it to Zhang Chuntao.
Because when she hid things, she thought about it. When cooking, she and Zhang Chuntao were the two of them in the kitchen. As long as she refused to admit it and her mother-in-law didn't have evidence, she couldn't do anything to her. Anyway, the Tang family wanted face. There must be a valid reason to divorce a wife, right?
When Tang Yu and Tang Laosi went home at night, there was a time when the house was in a mess.
Grandmother Tang is not a good-tempered person, her ruthlessness when dealing with people is simply a replica of Nanny Rong, if she is identified as Leng Shangxiang, then she will interrogate unceremoniously, holding a willow stick and questioning, illiterate The sons and daughters-in-law of the old housekeeper's house all do this.
As for whether Leng Shangxiang will be wronged?That's impossible, as long as it's for legitimate use at home, she doesn't treat anyone harshly now, it's delicious and easy to use, who would do such a thing of secretly hiding food.
Leng Shangxiang said she was the third daughter-in-law?Even if she believed that a sow climbed a tree, she didn't believe this. The third daughter-in-law had a normal relationship with her natal family, so where would the food she hid be sent?
Therefore, the only one who can do sneaky things is Leng Shangxiang!
"You said it wasn't you, then tell me how your natal family recently started a reselling business with the prairie barbarian tribe? Where did their capital come from?"
Grandmother Tang didn't talk to Leng Shangxiang at all, she just presented the evidence after the lesson was learned.
"I have already asked Wei Meizi to go to your natal house to inquire. People in your village said that you have gone back twice this month, and each time you go back, you bring a cart full of things, such as grain, cloth, pottery, oil and salt. Sauce and vinegar, are your mother’s family pigs? You have to eat food, oil and salt for a month? Can you buy so many things with your private money?”
That's definitely not possible.
Tang Lao Si didn't make any money, and he was still working in the bodyguard bureau.The family has enough pocket money for the daughter-in-law every month, even if Leng Shangxiang is really powerful, and if she secretly deducts some money from other places, she still can't save that much.
What can be denied for being so cold and fragrant?Now all the family eats are white flour and rice. These things may not look good at first sight, but they are really worth a lot. One catty of fine grains can exchange several catties of coarse grains.
There are also the scraps left over from making clothes. Although they are rags, they are all very good cloth and are still valuable.
"Daughter-in-law, did you really steal so many things from home?"
Tang Laosi became anxious when he heard this, and looked at his daughter-in-law with hatred. Stealing is not a good behavior in the first place, but now he is stealing so much, he is going to die.
Seeing this, Zhang Chuntao gloated and added, "It's more than that, fourth brother, look at what Erbao Erya is wearing inside..."
Hearing this, Grandmother Tang's complexion was not good, and she hurried to see her grandchildren.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you see that the two children are still wearing old clothes from when they were poor, they can't hold back their anger.
Grandmother Tang picked up the willow stick in her hand and gave Leng Shangxiang another slap in the face, she was so angry that she said, "You bloody unlucky one, where did the silk and satin in Erbao Erya go?!"
The old lady is a favorite, but the treatment of family members still depends on the family's economic situation.
Since getting back a lot of gold and silver money from He Changlin, she can't show her wealth on the surface, but secretly the old lady is changing the treatment of her family, so don't look at the Tang family's ordinary clothes on the outside, but inside they eat rice and meat every day , and the clothes inside are also made of silk and satin.
From Grandma Tang's point of view, it is certain to suffer without money, and one should enjoy it if one has money, otherwise the money will not be taken away even if one dies.
As a result, Leng Shangxiang not only hid food, but also hid the clothes and fabrics of his own son and daughter!
"Mother-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive me. My natal family is poor, and I can't help it. I can't watch my parents, brother and nephew suffer."
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Leng Shangxiang finally cried and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Grandma Tang was very angry, "Then you can watch your son and daughter suffer?"
"I, I, my family are living a good life now. Erbao and Erya don't lack these clothes for a while. I think I will do it later, but mother-in-law, my mother's family can't wait, my parents are very strong. Not good, I have to drink medicine in winter..."
Leng Shangxiang cried and explained, and began to feel guilty, and later said that the situation of her natal family became more emboldened. She is a married daughter-in-law, but she can't ignore her natal family.
Now even Tang Lao Si was furious, "Your parents talk like fart, you believe it!"
Leng Shangxiang continued to cry, looked at her husband, and silently expressed an expression of 'I don't believe who my parents believe'.
Everyone in the Tang family was speechless for a while. This woman seemed to have been completely brainwashed. She had no ability to judge at all. The Leng family was also very powerful, coaxing this daughter.
"Okay, since you listen to your parents so much, then go back to your Leng's house. Grandson Yu, help grandma engrave a divorce letter for her!"
Seeing her daughter-in-law's attitude, Grandma Tang finally became cruel.
As soon as the words came out, the family also raised their heads, a little frightened.
"Mother-in-law, I was wrong, please don't divorce me, mother-in-law woooo..."
This time Leng Shangxiang really cried to death.
Tang Laosi hurriedly said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is at fault, but let's give her another chance. At any rate, she is also the mother of Erbao Erya, so she can finally contribute to our family."
"Mother-in-law, in fact, the heart of the siblings is not bad. She is always filial to her mother's family. The lesson is, use it, don't need to stop."
Even Zhang Chuntao couldn't help asking for help.
Although she wants to see a good show, she doesn't really want Leng Shangxiang to be divorced. After all, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law have been together for so many years, and they don't have any deep hatred. If the fourth brother marries again, what if the other party is not easy to get along with?
"Don't talk to any of you, I've made up my mind. This woman doesn't have our Tang family in her heart. It's useless no matter how many chances you give her. If you don't drive her away today, who knows when she will evacuate us!"
"I've said hello before. She doesn't take my words to heart, and she'll come in when she's not clear. She's really courageous...Whoever pleads for him again, get out with her."
Grandma Tang slapped the table with a cold face, "Grandson Yu, carve a book for grandma!"
"Yes, grandmother."
Tang Yu looked at Leng Shangxiang who was crying so hard, and then at his grandmother's face, thought about it, and nodded.
Now the old lady is the oldest and most senior in the family, except for Tang Yu, who supports the family, it is the old lady who has the most say.
Grandmother Tang wanted to divorce her daughter-in-law. As long as there was a legitimate reason, no one could resist, and no one could say that she was at fault.Seeing that Grandma Tang has made up her mind, no one in the family dares to help and intercede anymore. The old lady can definitely say and do this matter of eviction.
Besides, today's end was Leng Shangxiang's own fault, everyone couldn't figure it out, the Leng family obviously didn't treat this daughter very well, why did Leng Shangxiang work so hard on her mother's family, could it be that there is something wrong with her brain?
Without any suspense, Leng Shangxiang was sent back to Leng's house, along with a divorce letter.
Seeing the divorced daughter, the Leng family didn't expect the Tang family to do it, and they were dumbfounded for a while...
The Leng family will talk about it later, and now continue to transfer back to the Tang family.
For the Tang family who attached great importance to family members in their bones, no one was happy about Leng Shangxiang's departure, including sister-in-law Zhang Chuntao, who felt a little sad.
Although there are often minor frictions and quarrels in the family, the overall harmony is still very harmonious. After getting along with each other for almost half a lifetime, there is still a lot of affection between each other. At this moment, the atmosphere of the Tang family is unavoidably depressing and silent.
Everyone wanted to intercede for Leng Shangxiang again, but Grandma Tang went back to her room to rest after eating, and made it clear that no one should talk about it.
Especially for Tang Lao Si, Grandmother Tang directly told him not to go home for a few days, and not to be an eyesore when he lived in the escort agency.
Tang Laosi was anxious and crying, his mother was really angry this time, and so was his daughter-in-law, why can't he figure it out!
He had no choice but to find Tang Yu, the only nephew in the whole family who could speak in front of the old lady.
"Nephew Yu, fourth uncle also knows that your fourth aunt has gone too far this time, but she has no bad intentions. She is also filial to her mother's family. It is her parents who have bad intentions and deceive her. Go tell your grandmother. Say, please help your fourth aunt, and your fourth uncle will remember you..."
After all, they have been husband and wife for many years, Tang Laosi still has some affection for Leng Shangxiang.
He also knew that he was useless, and he hadn't done anything for so many years. Although Leng Shangxiang followed him to get some favors from his brothers and nephews, and didn't suffer too much in life, he never showed any shame on his face. this fair
