What a cheating husband
Chapter 2 The Shrew's Calculation
Although Miao Rencui is a woman, she has many thoughts, and she can figure out the relationship in a blink of an eye.A little brother is half a man, if a hardworking family can use it outside the home.His family is only the eldest and a laborer, the old man can at most be a layman but can't do any heavy work. In the future, there will be more Chen Qing, and the family can rent a few more acres of land or save some dowry for Xiuli, lest her daughter be rejected by her husband's family if she is not accompanied.
This girl, Abi, will be able to get some embroidery work in a few years and come back to supplement the family income. Aunt Chen Qing is very handy. Although her daughter has not been carefully trained, she is basically the same.This business is a good deal for her family, of course it can't be cheap to outsiders, besides, Chen Qing agrees to take the two acres of dry land to his family. When he is too old to marry and has no money to marry a wife, wouldn't it be the same as hiring a long-term worker?Still a labor without wages.
After summing up, Miao Rencui rolled his eyes and pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.He kept saying that he should take care of the brotherhood and give face to the elders in the clan. Naturally, he got Chen Qing's guarantee to take good care of the family.
After the village chiefs left, Miao Rencui confiscated the title deed of Chen Qing's two acres of dry land on the spot, because when the house was built, the two families were next to each other, and Chen Qing and Chen Bi returned home after dinner at the uncle's house. Sleep next door.
Two people have died in three years, the house is unlucky, his uncle's family didn't think much about it, the brother and sister still live in it, but after Chen Bi gets married, the house will also be taken back, and it can save the son to build it. Silver for a new house.
After the quarrels and quarrels of Mrs. Chen's family, Ye Ye and his wife decided to make a living in the future. No matter what, it was their own advantage, but it was a pity that the two acres of fine paddy fields were wasted on Aunt Chen Qing.
"Okay, don't scold me a few words, no matter what, you are my brother's seed. Be careful on weekdays, lest the villagers say that we are mean to your nephew!" Boss Chen interrupted his wife's complaint with a frown. He couldn't bear to watch his two nephews starve to death.
"Hmph~ As for your benevolence, if the parents hadn't turned to the second child when the family was separated, how could our family have given up so much land for nothing, and now we have been ruined by the little bastard for nothing. You are the eldest son in the family, and the parents are under our support. , should belong to us, now that the land is gone, but two debt collectors are posted on it, I don’t starve to death, they are my kindness.” Miao Rencui immediately pushed him hard, yelling in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, stop shouting, it's not good for parents to hear." Boss Chen immediately went to cover his wife's mouth.
"I have nothing to say, they were biased back then..." Miao Rencui slapped Boss Chen's hand off and widened her eyes.
"I know you were wronged at the beginning, so it's all back. Besides, why do you care about so much when you're gone?" Boss Chen immediately lowered his eyebrows and comforted his daughter-in-law.
According to the rules of the clan, the division of the family is decided by the parents.They are big families, so they should have more land to support the elderly, but at that time the second child just got married and was the youngest son, so the parents gave the second child an extra mu of paddy field and two mu of dry land, for which Miao Rencui kept secrets Complaining, but back then she didn't have a son and didn't dare to challenge her parents openly, she only dared to whisper a few words to Boss Chen behind her back.
Fast forward five years, and Chen Qing has grown into a half-grown guy. After leaving the family for so long, the aunt's complaints towards him have not diminished, but she has become more and more displeased with her brothers and sisters.Brothers and sisters do most of the work in the field at home, not to mention, you have to look at the face of your aunt when you go to the table, and you will get a supercilious stare if you add a bowl of rice. obedient.
Chen Biyue's swaying water spirit symbol, faintly resembles the appearance of A Niang back then. The 10-year-old girl can already undertake most of the housework, not to mention feeding chickens and pigs. The uncle seems to regard herself as the head of the house. He just moved a stool to sit in the yard to oversee the work. He spends his days gesticulating like a landowner's grandma, and feels disgusted by Chen Bi's lack of quick work.
Although Chen Qing couldn't understand how her aunt ordered her younger sister to work, but she had no choice but to rely on others, so she had to grab more work on weekdays, and then take over embroidery work for her younger sister, so as to be relieved from the heavy housework.
"Abi, this time the embroidery work is still done according to the old rules. One is to embroider in the open for the uncle to see, and the other is to embroider behind the scenes. Don't embroider too quickly and look carefully." Chen Qing routinely instructed the good girl to hide the copper coins that she had secretly collected. Then he turned around and carried the basket on his back to send the things he bought from the town to his auntie.
"Squeak~"
"Ah Qing is back." Grandpa Chen was sitting in the courtyard weaving a basket, and greeted Chen Qing who pushed open the courtyard door.
"Grandfather, I brought you plasters. Didn't you complain about your back pain two days ago?" Chen Qing unloaded the pannier, took out two plasters and handed them to Grandpa Chen.
"Wasting money blindly, this is an old problem. When you get old, you will always have a backache and leg pain. Farmers are used to the pain. Don't worry about it next time, lest your uncle will talk about you again." Grandpa Chen continued with a smile After taking the plaster, I didn't forget to tell Chen Qing a few words.
"With the money I earned myself, I can't afford to buy medicines for grandpa." Chen Qing's raised mouth immediately tightened, squinting at his cousin who saw him come back, sneaked a few glances, and then rushed into the room quickly.
Sure enough, after a while, the aunt came out of the house with her hips akimbo.
"Hey, you're back, how many coppers did you sell? How dare you waste money like this? Have you bought everything?" When Miao Rencui learned that Chen Qing spent money to buy medicine for Mr. Chen, she stepped out of the main room angrily, He snatched the pannier, took out the things he bought, and stretched out his palm to Chen Qing, seeing if he had turned over the purse.
Chen Qing glared at the triumphant Chen Ping who was hiding aside, took out the money bag from his pocket and poured out 10 copper coins.
"Why are there so few? Isn't it the medicinal materials that have been saved for several days?" Seeing that there were only 10 copper coins, Miao Rencui's face was half black, and she suspected again that the kid had hidden money from his house, but she went to his house several times overtly and secretly. I couldn't find a place to hide the money, so I had to grit my teeth secretly and hold a grudge in my heart.
Chen Qing rolled her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "It doesn't cost money to buy meat and salt, you just give me 20 copper coins, and I can't even buy half a pot of salt. If I didn't sell herbs, I probably wouldn't be able to buy what Auntie Qi ordered thing"
"You are reasonable! Those 20 copper coins may buy a lot of things. You dare to spend them indiscriminately when you know that you have no money at home. Next time, let Chen Ping go with you. Who knows where your money has been spent?" Miao Rencui said. Putting ten copper coins into his bosom, he clearly instructed his son to supervise Chen Qing.
"Don't bring me up, I still have homework to do, I don't have time to wander around, I want you to go with him." Chen Ping immediately retracted the corner of his mouth, and retreated into the door.
Just kidding, he didn't want to follow the twenty-mile mountain road to the town. He usually pretended not to know Chen Qing when he saw Chen Qing when he was walking with his classmates in the school. Such a poor cousin could only lose his face, let alone follow him Going to the town together, if he is seen by the students who sneak out to the town to play from time to time, he will be humiliated.
500 meters = one mile, half an hour = one hour, and you can walk twenty miles in one hour.
"Hey, you don't listen to me telling you to study hard on weekdays, and now I don't have time to stroll around. Have you finished your homework? If I hear my master say that you don't study hard on weekdays, I don't think you should study in this school." , marry a house wife and farm the land earlier so that my mother can live a good life for two days..." Miao Rencui yelled at his son with his hands on his hips.
"Here again, you insisted on forcing me to study at the beginning, saying that only by being famous can I honor my ancestors, but now you want to miss my studies and marry a peasant woman to farm for a living." Chen Ping complained with his mouth curled.
On weekdays, he had a lot of contact with some students from good families, and Chen Ping was also infected with a little arrogance of a scholar. He naturally looked down on the vulgarity of the countryside, and yearned for the day when he was named on the gold list and gained both fame and fortune.
"Hmph~ If you don't listen to me asking you to read more books on weekdays, do you know how hard it is to send you to school and home! It's useless for me to expect so much from you, and I haven't even passed a boy's exam for so many years..." Miao Ren Cui babbled about regretting wasting so much money on studying.
"Hey~ eldest daughter-in-law, our old Chen's family has only one seedling. He has been smart since he was a child. Since he was sent to him at the beginning, let him study for a few more years. The knowledge does not mean that he can learn it. Learning it is easier than not being able to grow crops." Grandpa Chen sighed and comforted him.
He loves this grandson from the bottom of his heart. Although Chen Qing is also a grandson, he is still a younger brother. After the second child is gone, the eldest grandson may only be a brother to marry.
"Grandpa is still the most sensible. How can knowledge be acquired so easily? I have only been studying for 4 years. In a few years, let alone the boy's exam, I will take the exam for a scholar to give you a good face! Then look Who else dares to look down on our family?" Chen Ping said to A Niang proudly.
"That's right, my son is smart, and when he passes the exam, the master of the scholar, I'm afraid the family will be broken down by the gang of poor relatives. At that time, with the government subsidy and tax exemption, the life of the family will be easier." Miao Rencui As soon as he heard his son talk about his fame, he immediately glared proudly at Chen Qing, who was eating free food, and stepped forward to tidy and wash his son's somewhat whitish long gown.
"Aniang, when the time comes, my son will buy you a big house in the town, and you can just enjoy yourself." Chen Ping looked determined to win, and Chen Qing felt nauseous. House of.The little subsidy for a scholar can't even supply a piece of paper and ink for a year, so he still expects to support his family?No one makes people laugh at his ignorance.
Chen Qing slandered, Miao Rencui didn't know, in her perception, Master Xiucai was a great figure, she didn't even have to kneel down to see the county master, she was full of imagination that her son's life would be better if he became a scholar.
This girl, Abi, will be able to get some embroidery work in a few years and come back to supplement the family income. Aunt Chen Qing is very handy.
