Qu Erniu saw that Mi's family was really going to be unable to hold on, and said to Qu Daniu: "Brother, take your sister-in-law to find someone who can set the bones to connect the arm, don't affect the future work, the egg thing I'll explain."

When she hit it just now, it was Mishi's arm that hit the tree trunk first. The combined weight of the two of them caused her arm and shoulder to dislocate in an instant.

"Second brother, you, I..." Qu Daniu was filled with guilt. As the eldest brother, he often asked his second brother for help. As a man and father, he couldn't protect his wife and children. Why is he so useless!

Seeing his mother's surprised face as if she hadn't reacted yet, Qu Daniu suddenly made a decision: "Sanya, Siya, you take your mother to find Granny Ma in the west of the village, she will straighten her bones."

"I'll go too." Chen looked at Sanya and Siya, two children who couldn't handle anything, rubbed his wrist that was a little bit pulled, and continued.

After the girls and brothers left, Qu Daniu walked up to Mrs. Qu and knelt down without hesitation. This incident was caused by them, and the second brother cannot bear the anger of his parents alone.

Qu Daniu said in a calm voice: "Mom, I asked my second brother to buy the eggs for me. Siya fell down. I wanted to help the child. I really didn't steal eggs from home."

In fact, Mrs. Qu had figured it out a long time ago. As for Mrs. Mi, even if she had ten guts, she wouldn't dare to steal eggs from the house.

But here comes the question, the eggs are not laid by the hen at home, where did they come from?If it is one or two, it can be said that it was given by someone else, but this is a total of ten, who can give it away?Michael's natal family?Do not make jokes!

Eggs are considered a precious item in the farm, because they can be sold directly in markets or towns. Some families raise a lot of chickens, and they can save a small sum of money by selling eggs a year.

Therefore, the only explanation is that the big house had private money in their hands, and they used the money to buy eggs from other houses.

Mrs. Qu is strict with the housekeeper. The Mi family is not as embarrassing as the Chen family of the second room, the powerful natal family is not like the Meng family of the fourth room, and it is not as rich as the Zhong family of the fifth room. She has no chance to save money. Money, Da Fang’s private house money can only be that Qu Daniu recently followed Qu Er Niu to do odd jobs outside and hid the money secretly.

This discovery made Mrs. Qu's heart ache uncontrollably, because in her opinion, the money should be given to her, and she made such a fuss because she actually wanted to force her eldest son to admit that they hid the money by going out to do odd jobs.

In this way, not only the first room will have to hand over the money, but the second room will also be controlled by her.

Unexpectedly, the two couples were so tight-lipped that they didn't want to say anything, which made Mrs. Qu so angry that she wanted to drive Mi Shi and her two daughters away. Now that they finally said it, Mrs. Qu felt uncomfortable.

Seeing what Qu Daniu wanted to say, Qu Erniu pressed on Qu Daniu's shoulder, signaling the other party not to speak, the eldest brother is too sincere, be careful not to ruin his business.

Qu Erniu knelt down and asked a strange question: "Mom, there are fewer eggs at home because the hens don't lay eggs. Do you know why the hens don't like to lay eggs?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Qu, Qu Erniu asked and answered: "These days, my eldest brother and I often go out to do odd jobs, and there is no one to do the farm work at home. When my eldest brother and I are not at home, the farm work is all on my sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law can't take good care of the hen as before. If the hen doesn't eat well, it will naturally lay eggs and don't work hard. So in the end, it can't be blamed on sister-in-law if the hen doesn't lay eggs, but on me and brother. We shouldn't go out to do odd jobs to earn money for the family. .”

"Mother, brother, I bought the eggs in their house at Qianhe Village. It costs ten eggs for eight cents. I bought ten eggs at the beginning of the month, and brother and the others haven't eaten a single one yet."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to Qianhe Village and ask Aunt Zhang."

Qu Erniu explained why there were few eggs in the house and the source of the eggs in the big house, but Mrs. Qu's complexion did not improve.

The only gratifying thing is that the eyes of the people around Qu Daniu have changed, and they are no longer blindly condemning.

Some people feel that their family is pitiful. They obviously have chickens and eggs at home, but because Mrs. Qu is partial, they can't eat, so they can only spend money to buy outside.

Some people also think that their family is strange, since the eggs are bought, why didn't they say it just now, they have to look for life and death.

Speaking of it, I don't blame Mi Shi, because she doesn't know what is going on with the eggs at all, she only knows that the second uncle gave the eggs to the child's father, and she hides them all under the bed, only looking at them every day, and dare not eat them at all.

There is a question that no one asks, that is, the Qu family is not separated, where does Qu Daniu get the money to buy eggs?

You can count the number of people in Qujia Village who are separated from each other. There are so many people living together without a separated family. Each house has a way to hide a little private house. As long as it is not too much, the elders generally turn a blind eye.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Qu should stop talking about this matter now, it’s just eight cents, there’s no need to hold on to it, but she just doesn’t want to, she stares at Qu Daniu, and asks directly: “Qu Da Niu Niu, where did you get the money?"

Qu Erniu jumped in front of Qu Daniu and said foolishly: "Mother, this money may be the dowry of my sister-in-law."

Old Madam Qu retorted without even thinking: "Fart, when Mi Shi got married, she was dressed in rags and had nothing. How could she get a dowry?"

"We country people don't like the dowry list like in the city. No one knows how much dowry my sister-in-law's natal family gave her. Maybe it's fifty cash, maybe it's a hundred cash. How do you know so well that the sister-in-law didn't bring any money with her when she got married?" money."

Mrs. Qu wasn't sure if Mrs. Mi was married and she really didn't bring any money, but she felt that based on Mrs. Mi's temperament and her performance when she entered the door, it was impossible for her to bring any money.

Mi’s dowry has been around for too long and it’s impossible to explain it clearly. Mrs. Qu didn’t want to argue with them, but she didn’t like to let this matter go like this: “Even if I got a few copper coins as a dowry, it should have been spent for so many years. Now, if you are still asked to buy ten eggs and come back, you must have hidden part of the money you went out to work."

Qu Erniu's face was full of innocence: "My eldest brother and I gave you the money we earned every time we went out to do odd jobs. There was never a time when we didn't give it. We found a job on the same day. We went out for five days and gave you five days' wages. I will give you four days' wages for four days, so there is no chance of hiding money."

Mrs. Qu rolled her eyes, but she didn't believe it. The second son is a cunning: "You sound nice, who knows what you guys did outside, and whether you hid money."

Normally, it is [-] Wen a day, but maybe they were lucky enough to meet a generous boss who gave them [-] Wen a day.

Qu Erniu was a little annoyed by Mrs. Qu's holding on, so he rolled his eyes and suggested, "Mom, if you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do, or you can go and look through the rooms of my elder brother and me to see if it's still there." Is there anything else we are hiding."

Before the son married a wife or husband, Mrs. Qu came into the house as a mother to tidy up her son, or rummaged through his son’s things, but her sons were all married, and her granddaughter and grandson were married, so she went to rummage through the young couple It's not appropriate, it just makes people laugh.

"Don't be embarrassed, anyway, you have already dug out the eggs from the big brother's room, and then dug through my room, my son has no objection."

"By the way, the rooms of the fourth and fifth brothers have also been searched to see if everyone has hidden money. Our old Qu family has no separate families, and there is no rule about hiding money!"

Qu Erniu said this resoundingly, his own room is clean, and he has always kept things that are valuable or that he has made privately outside.

He also knew about the fourth brother's side. With the prudent personality of the fourth brother and sister, they couldn't find anything in their room. The only problem was the fifth brother's side. If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that they have a lot of private houses there.

Qu Erniu's proposal from a bachelor made Mrs. Qu choke for a while and didn't know how to refute. She was very happy to ask her to turn over the rooms of the second and fourth sons, but not the fifth son.

Not to mention the fact that Qu Zhi is her favorite son, just because the fifth daughter-in-law Zhong's natal family is a rich and landed landlord, she dare not treat Zhong the way she treats Mi, Chen, and Meng Take the shelf, you have to offer something.

Qu Erniu stood up and said as he walked into the room, "Mother, come here, there is only one bed and two boxes in my room, one for clothes and the other for quilts, see if it's right."

Mrs. Qu was in trouble, with so many people watching. Just now she questioned her son's possession of private money, but now his son wants to open the door for her to see.

"What nonsense!" Old man Qu saw that the fire was going to burn where it shouldn't be. His eyelids drooped, and he stood at the door of the house with his hands behind his back, staring sharply at his eldest son and second son.

"Father, I'm not fooling around. It's mother who thinks that elder brother and I have hidden our private money. The two brothers' house is clean and bright. Where can we hide our private money?" Complain to myself.

"The chickens and pigs at home are fed by my sister-in-law and my husband. To be honest, I don't think it is necessary for my eldest brother to buy eggs outside to nourish the children. As long as the eggs at home are divided into two every three days, it will be fine for the eldest brother. Fu Lang and I don’t need it, we don’t have any children anyway.”

"What are you talking about, what kind of eggs are you eating, you don't have to worry about making too much of your life!" Granny Qu almost jumped up.

Before she got married, don't talk about eggs. It's a good life to eat coarse grains and corn bread. After a few years, these two dead girls should be married. She doesn't want to give them any eggs, and she doesn't want to give them food , It is enough not to starve them to death.

Qu Erniu has no son, so in his opinion, there is not much difference between a niece and a nephew: "Mother, what you said..."

"Okay! There are not many chickens in the house, and the eggs are left for Yaowen and the others to supplement their health, and they spend their brains studying." Old man Qu said to Mrs. Qu, "Since Daniel and the others are capable of getting eggs to supplement the girl Your body, old woman, don’t worry about it.”
