Lucky husband

No matter how angry she was, Old Madam Li still didn't slap her son in the face in front of Qian's family. She gritted her teeth and accepted the matter. No matter what, Qian was her own daughter-in-law, and as a mother-in-law, she had plenty of ways to deal with her.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengli packed himself up and went out in a hurry before he even had time to eat breakfast. He returned to Li's house with Qian Xinghua at about noon.

Old Madam Li stood guard at the door, watching her second son carefully support Qian Xinghua, and said coldly, "Second, what have you been doing for so long?"

Li Chengli cheerfully said, "Mother, there is some work in the mother-in-law's field, so I went to help."

"Help me?" Mrs. Li looked unpredictable, "You went without breakfast, did they invite you to have breakfast?"

"Hey..." Li Chengli was stuck, he didn't think about it at all.

"Mother, Brother Li had already finished breakfast when he arrived at our house. My mother and the others didn't know that Brother Li hadn't eaten." Qian Xinghua saw that her mother-in-law was going to get angry, stepped forward to accompany her smiling face, and put her right hand on her belly intentionally or unconsciously. Touch two.

"I'm talking to my son, is there any room for you to interrupt!" Mrs. Li wanted to scold Qian Xinghua the most, "What about your family and ours? Whose family does Qian Xinghua belong to? If you still think Qian Xinghua Home is yours, so you just go back to Qian's house to live, my Li family doesn't raise dogs that eat inside and out."

"Mother, I have given birth to Li Ge for more than ten years, served my parents, took care of the housework, and done everything I should do. You..." Qian Xinghua wiped her tears and cried sadly in Li Chengli's arms.

Old Madam Li looked at Li Chengshi frantically comforting Qian Xinghua coldly, and waited for a while for Qian Xinghua to stop crying before saying, "You two come in with me."

Early this morning, Mrs. Li told all the men in the family not to go out in the morning. At this moment, the old man was taking Li Chengzhi and Li Chengshi to repair the pigsty and chicken shed in the backyard. Li Mingde and Li Mingli followed to help build handle.

"Old man, you all wash your hands and come here." Granny Li called them all to the main room.

Qian Xinghua was frightened by Mrs. Li's battle, thinking that she was going to do something to her, she had no other thoughts, and immediately turned pale and pulled Li Chengshi tightly: "Mother, I am pregnant with Brother Li's child. Well, you can't..."

Old Madam Li snapped: "Put away your unlucky appearance and shut up."

When all the family members arrived, Mrs. Li and Old Man Li sat on the top. She said, "Mingde is 12 years old this year, and Mingli is also [-] years old. They are two years old enough, and they also learned from the children in the next village. I paid three hundred thousand, I discussed with the old man, and I plan to send both of their brothers to the school in the county town, what do you brothers think?"

Li Chengzhi thought for a while and was the first to speak: "Mom, it will cost too much to send both children to school, why not just send one?"

Li Chengzhi is the eldest in the family, and he has a rough idea of ​​how much money the family has. He currently has the money to send his two children to school in the county seat, but it will be a little difficult to provide for the children in the future.The most important thing is that there are two sons in their family, but the second and third brothers are not. As the eldest brother, he doesn't want the family to cause rifts.

"Boss, what do you think?" Mrs. Li turned her head and asked Bai Xiuhe.

"Mother, I'll listen to brother Zhi." Bai Xiuhe had no idea, she was used to listening to her husband-in-law.

"What about you?" Mrs. Li turned her head to face the second and third children.

"My son has no objection to the arrangement of my parents, and I will listen to your two elders." Li Chengli smiled naively. The one-year Shuxiu in the county school is two taels of silver, and the two children are four taels of silver. It is not very expensive after all. Their brothers A few more efforts can make money.

"Father and mother, I think both of their children have spiritual energy. Let's read both of them. It's always right to read more." Li Chengshi has always thought that reading and literacy is good. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be able to read, he wouldn't have been selected by the county government to be an errand. of.

It was Li Chengshi who first sent Mingde and Mingli to Lao Tongsheng to learn to read. After his observation, the two children are not stupid, and they can be regarded as sitting still. When the family can afford it, they can both read. go down.

After confirming that Mrs. Li didn't call everyone together to scold her, Qian Xinghua let go of her worries and started thinking about whether this matter would be good for her family.

It's about her own interests, Qian Xinghua's mind was spinning quickly: "No way! How much does it cost to study both, besides Shuxiu, you also need to have board and lodging, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all of which are paid by the grandfather? Now Ming De Ming Li went to school and spent all the family money, what should I do when my family Ming Cai grows up and has no money to study?"

Old Madam Li didn't get angry, she looked at Qian Xinghua with unexpectedly calm eyes: "If you have anything else you want to say, please bring it up together."

"Mother, that's what you said. Don't scold me when I tell you later." Qian Xinghua hit the snake, and before Granny Li nodded, she said a lot, "Actually, I think Mingde's age Mingli is not as clever as Mingli when he grows up, or send Mingli to study alone, Mingde can read and send him to a shop in the county town as an apprentice, and if he can learn a craft, he can even use money to subsidize his family..."

It's not that Qian Xinghua is completely out of her mind. She knows that if she proposes that Dafang's two children should not be sent to study at this time, she will definitely be scolded. When he grows up, he is also sent to the county school.
