Stingy Husband Farming

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

On the other side, the people from the Shen family's old house are planning how to ask Shen Mu's mother and son for money. direction went.The slender figure of the young man made the owner of the eyes swallow his saliva, he changed his mind a few times, and went out to spread rumors even harder.

Shen Mu didn't know anything about the people talking about him behind his back, and was rushing to the town.His father used to teach in the town, and he was very familiar with the town, knowing that there would be ox carts going to the county town every day.With luck and quick footsteps, he was able to reach the village before dark.

Boss Shen was buried at noon, and now is too late.After all, he didn't have anything to delay in the town or the county, he just wanted to visit the Luoma Market in the county, so there should be time.

He had heard people say that next door to Luoma Market in the county seat was a human market. Although it was not big, there was business there all year round.Besides, Shen Mu just wanted to inquire about the market today, so there won't be much delay.

The Luoma Market is said to be a "Luoma" market, but it does not only sell mules and horses.Cattle, sheep, donkeys, etc., all animals are traded in this market.Originally, Renshi did not have a separate market, and only occupied the southeast corner of Luomashi. In the past few years, several counties near the sea suffered from frequent floods, and many people fled famine to sell their children and themselves, and there was not enough space. It was only then that another market was opened next door, specializing in human trafficking.

The crowd is fairly standard.There are several fences inside, and the people who are to be sold are sitting or standing inside, and no one is crying or making noise.There were not many people at the moment, two or three buyers were attracted by their teeth, whispering something, and the whole market was quiet.

Shen Mu looked around, there were many children among the people who were sold, and some adults were standing beside them, but there was no straw sign on their heads, presumably they were the children's family members.There are about a dozen adults, both men, women and children.

Shen Mu, a young boy, came to the city alone, and several dentists squatting in the same place raised their eyelids and glanced at them, and they didn't even greet them lazily.Only a lame old tooth looked at the filial cloth tied around Shen Mu's waist, thinking that maybe something happened in the family and he wanted to sell himself, so he came up and asked, "Young brother, you want to sell yourself?" itself?"

Shen Mu was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I don't sell myself!" After speaking, he felt something strange.

It's not a business, Lao Yazi was a little disappointed, frowned, and for the sake of the filial cloth on Shen Mu's waist, it was rare for him to remind him kindly: "You are a young brother, it's better not to come here for shopping, it's not good."

Shen Mu lowered his head, fumbled in his purse for a while, took out two copper coins, and put them into Lao Yazi's hands cruelly: "Uncle, I want to ask you something."

Two pennies is not a small amount in the village, and Shen Mu felt very distressed when he gave it.This kid has a problem, he spends money very carefully, and his family is not very poor, but he is just a penny that wants to be spent in half.Today, I went into the city by car again, and gave Lao Yazi money again. I spent several pennies, and my heart was about to bleed.

But you can't do without flowers, no one cares about him if you don't spend.Although distressed, Shen Mu knew that some money had to be spent, so he had to endure the pain like a knife piercing his heart and give the money to Lao Yazi.

But two pennies are really a little less in the county town, especially in this city.But at the moment, no one is there anyway, and two pennies can buy a meat pancake anyway, so there's no reason to extrapolate it.Old Yazi was also idle, put two copper sleeves into his arms, and squatted against the wall without enthusiasm: "You ask."

Seeing that Lao Yazi accepted the money and was willing to answer for himself, Shen Mu felt much more at ease.In this world, there is nothing that money can't solve!He looked towards the right side of the fence where several grown men were standing: "Uncle, how much money does it cost to buy a strong laborer?"

Let's talk about the Shen family.Second Shen felt that Shen Mu couldn't give them money, so he asked his father worriedly.

Old man Shen became even angrier, and cursed: "Isn't it because of you?! You said what's the use of me raising you? It's better to raise a pig. I can't even do this well!" I regretted it ten thousand times in my heart , Why did I become obsessed with ghosts back then, and chose to protect the second child and separated from the eldest?

To say that back then, the two elders of the Shen family treated their two sons equally.Of course, I expect more from the boss who reads well.Although the Shen family is not considered a wealthy family in the village, there is a school in the Shen family village, and the children in their own village need little to study and study.The Shen family had some spare money, so they sent their two sons to study.

The boss, Shen Wen, is diligent, studious and smart. After studying for two years, he passed the Tongsheng exam. He stopped studying in the school in the village and went to the academy in the county town.Because he is valued by the master, he is often called by the master to go to his home to learn from a small stove, but he has the right eye with a maid of the master's house, who is Shen Mu's mother, Liu Shi.

Shen Wen went home and told his parents that he wanted to go to his master's house to ask for a marriage, and he came back to marry Mrs. Liu.

At that time, Mrs. Shen was very dissatisfied.She originally wanted to marry her niece Wei to her eldest son: her family was poor, and her niece could not marry a good man. Her eldest son seemed to be a promising man. As a daughter-in-law, she is more caring than others, isn't she?

She was almost as good as Old Man Shen blowing pillows, but out of nowhere, Mrs. Liu came out and took her niece's place.

Although the Liu family is said to be from a rich family, she is a maid after all, but she is a slave, very lowly, how can she be worthy of her son who wants to be a scholar?

But Shen Wen and the old man Shen are both willing.Shen Wen really liked Mrs. Liu, but Old Man Shen felt that his son married a member of the Master's family—even though he was just a maid, he finally had a relationship with the Master's family.Can the master teach his son not to be dedicated?Isn't my son one step closer to Master Xiucai?

It's a pity that I didn't marry the daughter of the master's family-who made the daughter of the master's family only ten years old.

No matter how unhappy Mrs. Shen is, Shen Wen also married Liu Shi.Not long after, Boss Shen was admitted as a scholar, and the two elders of the Shen family enjoyed a good reputation in the village for a while, which made Lao Niang Shen's opinion of the Liu family less serious.

Shen Wu, Shen's second brother, is not as good as his elder brother, he is not well educated, and he is also reckless, stealing and cheating all day long.If it weren't for Shen Wen's face, the private schools in the village would have pushed him back.Shen Wen was admitted as a child student, Shen Wu failed, his eldest brother went to the county to study, and he worked as a farmer at home, but he married Mrs. Shen's niece, Wei Shi.

Wei Shi had a good relationship with his aunt, and she was sweet-talking, but slowly, Mrs. Shen's heart turned away, towards her youngest son.

After Boss Shen was admitted as a scholar, he knew that he did not have the ability to take the next exam, so he returned to the village and became a teacher in a private school in the village.Scholars could have been exempted from the land tax of tens of acres, but the Shen family's life was flourishing.

But the good times didn't last long.After Boss Shen returned home, the family lived in the same courtyard, so there were inevitably conflicts between the upper teeth and the lower teeth.The old man likes the eldest son to be promising, and the old lady prefers the younger daughter-in-law to be caring, and gradually some conflicts arose in the family.It wasn't a big deal at first, every family has this difficult sutra.Soon Mrs. Liu became pregnant, and this was the first grandson in the family. If it was a boy, it would be the eldest grandson of the eldest son.Even Mrs. Shen treated her a little better, and the second room felt wronged.

When Mrs. Liu was about to go into labor, one day the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law had an unknown dispute, and Webster pushed Mrs. Liu into the ditch.As a result, Mrs. Liu had a difficult delivery, and she saved her life for two days. She gave birth to Shen Mu, and Mrs. Liu was injured and unable to reproduce.

This made Shen Wen very angry, and clamored to open an ancestral hall in the clan, to see what kind of explanation Webster made his sister-in-law's dystocia.

The second elder was a little unhappy, feeling that his family's affairs were going to be troubled by the clan, which would lose their face.Mrs. Shen also protected her niece, and refused to let her niece be punished for Liu's "outsider", and even Shen's second child also protected her from going to the ancestral hall.It didn't take long for Webster to find out that she was pregnant. It was originally Webster's fault, but gradually, it was Liu who was embarrassed.The mother-in-law was cold-faced, the uncle was mocking, and the younger siblings were gloating. Only the old man Shen still felt a little sorry for Mrs. Liu, so he persuaded Mrs. Shen to take a concubine to carry on the family line, and the children he gave birth to be raised in front of Mrs. Liu.

In the hearts of the old couple, their eldest son is also a scholar, so what's wrong with taking a concubine.What's more, since the son was admitted as a scholar, and the master's family moved to another place due to misfortune, Liu's identity as a maid was brought up again.

Naturally, Mrs. Liu was unwilling to let Boss Shen take a concubine, but Mrs. Liu dared not say anything.Boss Shen has a strong relationship with Mrs. Liu, and he is not happy at first.Even something like that happened later... In the end, Boss Shen fell out with his parents, separated and lived alone.

When the family was separated, Boss Shen left the house without leaving the house, and he didn't get a cent of the family property.But he also said in front of the old village head and the clan elders that the family business he earned in the future would also be Shenmu, and had nothing to do with the old house.Or give Shen Mu a dowry or recruit a son-in-law, in short, he will not give it to the second brother's family.Every year, the two elders are given two taels of silver for pensions, but most of them are gone.The two brothers broke up completely, Boss Shen hated his second brother's family who killed his wife and children.

So from the time Shen Mu was three years old, he never lived with the people in the old house.The two sides seldom move around. It can be said that whether it is Shen's second child or the second elder of the Shen family, there is no human dignity to talk about in front of Shen Mu and Liu Shi.Not only is it merciless, but it is almost the same as having hatred.

If the old man Shen didn't understand this reasoning in his heart, if he said he didn't regret it all these years, it would be a lie.But if you admit it, where do you put the dignity and face of your parents?Besides, Boss Shen, even though he has separated from them, has not lost the amount of money that should be filial over the years.

There are no parents who are not in this world!Even if she felt sorry for Mrs. Liu back then, she can't bear the grudge!It is only right and proper for the people in Dafang to respect him!

Having settled down, Old Man Shen felt that it was only natural for him to ask Shen Mu for money.
