Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

But after going out for a day, when I got home, there was only seven taels of silver left in the house. Jia Xun felt his brain was swollen, and he couldn't help covering his forehead and closing his eyes. He didn't know what to say, Brother Xing The son was also full of bitterness, opened his mouth several times, but didn't know what to say to his mother, what could he say?Is it my uncle's family who borrowed money, or the uncle's family who has been very kind to them all the time, now that their family is rich, it can't be said that uncle wants to start a family business, they don't help, right?If he was such an ungrateful person, then in the past year, after his family got better, Mother asked their brothers to deliver food and fish from time to time, he would not be so happy, and would go to his uncle again and again without saying a word. The family ran away.

To put it bluntly, this uncle's family can now save two taels of silver when they are full of food. The support of the Jia family here is inseparable.So at this point, he really couldn't say that he would not lend it to his uncle, not to mention that this time it was not a gift, but a loan. The uncle's family has already prepared to help the farm for two years to repay the debt Yes, can he still say no?Isn't this offending people and making people say he is ruthless?Twenty acres of land, even if they don’t plant it for the uncle’s family, then they will hire people to do the work themselves, and it will definitely not cost less. Two years, it can’t be said that it costs more than the two taels of silver for the family. Well, to be honest, they still took advantage of my uncle's house, what else could he say?

It's just that when he thinks that his family's savings have dropped rapidly and reached the warning line, seeing that if they don't go to sea, the money will be spent when he is about to get married, and he may not even be able to afford the banquet. How can he not worry? ?He and Jia Xun need to study, and there is a third child. Shu Xiu, who has three children in a family, is not a small sum, and paper and pens also cost money.The money is so tight that it is almost taking up the money in the ration.

"Okay, what are you worrying about? Do you really think your mother is a person who doesn't know how to calculate? I have already thought about it. In addition to cooking, Yuniang and I go to the beach to pick up conch and string wind chimes every day. The weather is not good When you are at home, you weave at home. When you go to sea, try your best to go to the sea to catch some good things. Two silvers should be no problem, and the food stored at home is enough for us to eat for about a month. We use wild vegetables, mushrooms, and sea fish. There are also a lot of meals, that is, salt oil. The last time I bought it is enough for two or three months. After a month, the autumn harvest is almost here. At that time, the rent of the six acres of land we bought at the beginning of the year will be harvested. There is no need to buy this grain, and we can eat it for the New Year, the newly bought land, and the planted crops. Autumn vegetables can be harvested in November. Not only can the family have enough vegetables to eat, but they can also be sold for some money. In this way, at least until the end of the year, the profit of one or two silver per month, Basically, there is no need to spend, and I can even save some more. Even if there are other odd expenses, I figured out that if I save up like this, I can still have ten taels of silver, right? As for the winter clothes, I bought them last year Fortunately, I don’t need to buy any more, these ten taels are naturally used for Brother Xing’s marriage, that’s enough, even Xiao Miao’s wedding dress can be bought.”

Mrs. Qi wrung her fingers and said her careful thoughts one by one. Jia Xun was a little dumbfounded. Not to mention, let her calculate like this, it seems that the seven taels of silver in her family is a lot, even if she only saves five taels, I am afraid it is enough. After all, this rural place is also a man and a woman in the same village. How much can it cost to get married?It's just treating the people in the village to a good meal and buying a few decent clothes. How much will it cost?Five taels is enough.

Not to mention, this Wang Xiaomiao is a strong woman, even he has heard that, in order to give face to her parents, she and Grandma Wang are very frugal in food and food, relying on weaving and stringing wind chimes to save a lot of money. I paid two taels of silver, and asked someone to help me make two nice wooden boxes, painted them with red paint, and two horses of Grandma Wang weaved them myself. A silver hairpin and a pair of silver earrings were secretly sent by my son some time ago, and some other dowry things my mother added after the family got better, such as a dressing box, two bolts of red cloth, and a pair of Silver bracelets, this wedding jewellery, already looks good on the cloth. If you add the clothes you wear on weekdays, bedding, etc., you can also pack two sets of dowry. In such a village, there are two sets Dowry, that is already passable.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this brother Xing's marriage is no longer a sign of poor money. After all, the biggest big head, restorative new house or something, is no longer needed. They have been completed together, and now the two rooms in the main house and the west room, one light and one dark, are fully furnished. Even if they are not as good as those big families, landlords, etc., it is definitely the same in this village. is complete.The house is newly built, and there is no need to repaint it, so what else can it be spent on?

Thinking of this, Jia Xun immediately felt that he and Brother Xing seemed stupid, and they couldn't even compare with such an illiterate woman.But then again, it’s so easy to live a relatively affluent life, but now it’s tight again. It’s really hard to keep the whole family busy like a spinning top to ensure a smooth life. Some frustrate him.

"Mother, but what about Shu Xiu? It will cost a lot of money."

"We are just a small family, as long as we follow the example of other families, it will be fine for Shuxiu. There is no need to be too polite. If this is the case, it is not difficult for us to squeeze together. The most important thing is, Brother Xing, second son, this year, our family’s income has increased rapidly, and we have built such a big house. You still go to school to read and write. Life is indeed much better, but you can’t just have extravagant thoughts, yes, yes Everyone wants to live a good life in Yinzi, even other families are living more relaxedly than in previous years, everyone is very happy, but you should also see that there is already a certain gap between our family and other families in the village. There are only so many families in the village. In the past, when the poverty was poor, even if it was difficult, each family could support each other. If you have money now, but you have a share with other families, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the gain? It would damage the relationship between our neighbors. So, no matter how much money you make, you should remember to restrain yourself when it’s time to restrain yourself, and never do things that are too different from others, this is the way to maintain a neighborhood for a long time.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but sighed a few times, seeing that the two sons looked thoughtful, and then continued:

"Our house has been up for so long, except for everyone coming to see it at the beginning, but now there are not as many people who come to visit the house as in the past. My mother has kept this matter in mind for a long time. Fortunately, recently Everyone like Mo lives in a house that has to be squeezed together, and now they have a family property, those who open up wasteland, those who build houses, and everyone’s situation is getting better, so I am relieved, otherwise I am afraid in my heart. The more uncomfortable it is, think about it, Brother Xing and Xiao Miao have been engaged for so long, did Grandma Wang want to work so hard before? You don't have to worry about eating, but the weaving doesn't stop, I'll go and persuade her to rest, She refuses, why? Isn't it because our family is booming now, and she is afraid that Miao Miao will not have a dowry, so she will be looked down upon if she marries in? Money is a good thing, but this money is also a crime. An old man, such a waste of time."

These words were knocked into the hearts of the Xing brothers like the evening drum and the morning bell. Looking back and thinking about the things in the village during these times, it is not the case, the money has increased, but because their family is now almost a village. The Zhong family property is even richer than that of the village chief's family, but it has distanced itself from other people in the village. People who used to come to the door are a little embarrassed, not to mention others, but Xing Geer himself, the best few Young man, he has less contacts recently. Although it is because of studying, because of lack of time and frequent sea trips, he has to stay with his younger brother all the time, but this somewhat explains some problems.

Thinking of this, Brother Xing also nodded solemnly and said:

"Mother, if you didn't say that I didn't find out, indeed, we are strangers to the villagers. In this way, when my second son and I go to sea in the future, let's call the few who went to sea with me in the past, and get together a few times. It can always be eliminated, the others are just like what my mother said, we should also restrain ourselves, mother and Yuniang work harder, at least let everyone know that our family is still the same as before, discussing with everyone in the sea Shichi is not the kind of family that is divorced from its fundamentals."

This time Qi's open heart made this person who seemed to be on the road of pursuing money a little more serious, but it was a little less upstart-style publicity. Even Jia Xun couldn't help but rejoice when he saw such a home, thinking Thinking of the Jia family, the reason why they lost may be that there is one less person who can have such a low-key insight, and such a restraint is naturally ostentatious and noisy, and this is how the world is. The more ostentatious the family, the more People who get attention, and the more people get attention, the easier it is to be overthrown.However, this small family now knows what restraint is from the very beginning. If such a family can accumulate slowly, I am afraid that the future will be even more promising.
