It's not that Mr. Yang didn't know what his wife's idea was. It was just that the family was struggling in the past few years. Finally, the second child came back with some money. The family built a new house and added a few acres of land. greed. I always want the second child to earn a few more years of money for the family, especially the family also provides a scholar...

But it's not a problem to drag it on like this. In the past two years, many people in the village have had some discussions in their hearts, but it's just that others are obstructing his face, and no one speaks in front of him. He also wanted to mention it to his wife several times, but every time he was deliberately diverted from the topic by the old lady, and the matter was over.

Thinking about it now, as a father, he is truly incompetent. He always has the idea of ​​working hard for another two or two years, ignoring the child's lifelong event... Now that the child has brought it up by himself, Mr. Yang feels that he is hurt by the child again. mind...

The human heart is so complicated...

Mr. Yang was sitting on the kang smoking a dry cigarette, and his old face was blurred behind the smoke.

After a while, he opened his mouth again and said to Mrs He: You don't need to mention my eldest sister's affairs in the future. .

Where can I hold it so I won't lose it? The son I raised doesn't kiss me, and she kisses her, so I'm not allowed to talk about it? He retorted, spittle everywhere. Also, why am I being bad to him? Am I missing him to eat, or am I missing him to drink?

It's you who thinks too much about yourself. Tie Zhu was my eldest sister's aunt when he was a child, so it's normal to be close to her. As long as you are careful all the time, you don't look at the child's nose, not your face, or your face. He was still young at that time, what did he know? You don't give him a good face all day long, isn't the child also being treated like this by you?

Mr. Yang reluctantly knocked on the cigarette stick in his hand, feeling that he really couldn't tell this woman. Also, you are good to him, but you don't lack his food and drink? The child doesn't have a job, and doesn't earn money? Isn't all the money you earn?

I'm his mother, he won't give me the money he earns, who will it be? Give it to her Yang chūnhua? He started to entangle again, sitting on the kang and clamoring.

Grandpa Yang shook his head in anger at her.

Seeing the old couple break up again, the third youngest Yang Tiegen felt that his head was too big. He didn't want to interfere with these things, so he quickly pulled his daughter-in-law, lowered his head and whispered, Father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, let's go back to the house first.

In this family, the two of them are small and transparent, and they have never been able to speak. So they have always just lived and didn't speak. Although I really wanted to say a few words to my second brother just now, Yang Tiegen has always been stupid and didn't know how to speak.

Father and mother, we also went back to the house. The eldest Yang Tiesuan also took his daughter-in-law and hurriedly slipped behind the third child, fearing that the fire of the old mother would burn them on them.

Also, if I told him, where did I blame him? You said...

You... You really don't understand, and the door is unclear... Mr. Yang shook his fingers and pointed at Mrs He's nose.

Seeing the old man pointing at her, Mrs. He also said that her family was unclear. Immediately, the fire started again, and he jumped on it and tore off the old man Yang's clothes.

...You actually said that my family affairs are not clear, so you can clear the family affairs? Five or six understand? ... My mother has given birth to children for you and managed the family for decades, and you have lost the door in your mouth. Nothing is clear...

Okay, Xuezhang is still here, what are you making a fuss about, do you look like a mother?! Mr. Yang was trembling with anger at He's harassment, he pulled her away and pushed her on the kang .

As soon as Yang Xuezhang was mentioned, the He family immediately softened.

She sat up straight from the kang, rolled her eyes, and said angrily, Just you have a father!

The second sister Yang, who had been huddled beside him, had been silent, and at this time, she cuddled up to Mrs He's side and grabbed her arm. Okay, mother, don't be angry with your father.

When the old girl persuaded, He became even more angry.

Then what about my bundle repair? Yang Xuezhang, who was sitting next to him, asked, The day after tomorrow, it will be jiāo.

When he mentioned silver, Mr. He had a toothache. But there was no way, it was what her old son wanted to do. The money on Yang Tiezhu's side had already been spent, so she had to pay for it herself.

Mother will help you, don't worry, just study in the academy.

Yang Xuezhang got a satisfactory answer, turned around and walked into the Westinghouse, went back to his room, and went to review his homework.

☆、Iron pillar up the mountain

In the evening, the Yang family all turned off the lights and rested.

In the east room, Yang Tiesuan and Mrs Wang were lying on the kang ready to sleep.

Wang Shi's heart was agitated, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what, tossing and turning on the bed.

She poked Yang Tiesuan, This second brother is married, what shall we do in the future?

Yang Tiesuan was woken up as soon as he fell asleep, and he pushed her hand away irritably and poked his hand, Second brother is married, what does it have to do with us in the future? What should I do? What should I do?

Put on, put on it! Wang shi rolled his eyes in the darkness.

If the second brother gets married, the money in the public will be cut in half in the future.

The Yang family is not divided. Some of the sons in the family are married, and some are not yet, so the rule is that the land in the family is planted together and harvested together. Expenses go public.

On weekdays, during the slack season, men would go out to do odd jobs for a few days or something. For those with extra income, all the unmarried ones went to work, and half of the married ones went to work.

How much can you earn doing odd jobs?

money? The main source of the Yang family's money is that Yang Tiezhu goes to the mountain every once in a while, and he has several taels of silver at a time, so the life of the Yang family is better than that of other farmers who only rely on the ground to shave food.

Of course, this is just a little bit more generous. After all, the family has a 'scholar blank', the fourth child, who doesn't do any work all day long, and only reads the books of the sages. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and occasionally need some money before exams.

In the future, the second child will have less money, so many people in the family have to eat, and they have to provide the fourth child who eats free food to take the exam. It is conceivable that the pressure on the father will increase, and then these are originally the second child alone. Bearing the pressure will be distributed to their three rooms to bear together. They managed to save up a little private room, maybe they have to fit in...

Wang Shi didn't believe that Yang Tiesuan would not understand the powerful relationship.

The thought of having a pair of sharp old eyes staring at them all day in the future, hoping to pluck out some blood from them, made Wang shudder and couldn't fall asleep even more.

…………

When eating breakfast the next morning, Yang Tiezhu thought about it, and said the matter of marrying Lin Qingwan at the dinner table.

After all, the pros still have to marry.

Invite the sedan chair? Do you want to order a wine for hire? After hearing Yang Tiezhu's words, Mr. He slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table. No way! Look at which one spends money to buy a daughter-in-law and it takes so much trouble to come back. Not all of them go home and get things done. You don't even need to worship.

Yang Tiezhu frowned, but his attitude was very firm. Anyway, I don't want to take someone home and even get married. No matter what, I have to marry the matchmaker.

Sister-in-law Wang inserted a sentence next to it, Second brother, mother, the old man is right, how can anyone buy a daughter-in-law and come back and have a sedan chair to marry and drink? Isn't that made of money, and it's not a huáng The eldest daughter of the flower, the eldest lady.

In Wang's cognition, or in the common villagers' cognition, the daughter-in-law bought back is usually not a good thing.

It's not that the arm is missing or the leg is missing, or the brain is stupid and blind, or it's the maid of the rich family who has been slept with. Anyway, none of them are normal. The daughter-in-law bought by some people nearby is like this.

Only those poor families who cannot afford to marry will use it to buy a daughter-in-law, because they cannot afford betrothal money.

She didn't care whether Yang Tiezhu would be embarrassed to buy a daughter-in-law and spread it out. Anyway, if she paid a share of money from her father-in-law to handle the marriage for the second child, she would not agree, and she would have to mess with him anyway.

Yang Tiezhu didn't say anything, but looked at He's eyes very firmly.

He suddenly stopped gān, No. If my mother said no, it was no. There was no way for her to pay.

Although the Yang family's family background is not bad, the family also has ten mu of land, and every time when the farming is slack, several sons will do some odd jobs to supplement the family, but they can't stand a scholar Yang Xuezhang in the family.

Yang Xuezhang studied in the town academy and repaired every six months. A year of repairing the bundle would cost a few taels of silver, not to mention other expenses like pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. In total, it was a huge expense for the Yang family. Therefore, Mr. He has always been very careful about the money in his hand, and it is typical that there is no chance of success.

Wang Shi rolled his eyes, and pretended to persuade aside, That's right, second brother, you should also think about your family. Fourth brother has to be repaired again. You only spent 22 taels of silver yesterday to buy someone. After you get a house, you won't be rich in money, so you don't know it. Isn't that embarrassing mother? The 'twenty taels of silver' said in a particularly strong voice.

Anyway, if she wants to pay from the public, she will never agree, and she will not care who has more money and less from the public. If you move Gongzhong's money, you are cutting her flesh.

Including the twenty taels yesterday, in Wang's opinion, it was cutting her flesh, otherwise she wouldn't have heard the rumors outside and came back to stir up trouble with He's.

He just found an excuse, and said sternly: When your elder brother got married, it cost less than 8 taels in total to add betrothal gifts and wine. The third child married a few years later, so it only cost less than 10 taels. You Yesterday it cost twenty taels to buy a fox, and today you want me to pay for the marriage, what do you think of your two married brothers? She pointed to the eldest brother who was sitting on the sidelines watching the play and kept their heads down The third child who eats.

What's more, your brother needs money to study.

That's the main reason. But Yang Xuezhang went to the academy early this morning, and he couldn't hear his mother trying her best to save money for him.

Yang Tieshuan ran on his hippy smile, Yeah, second, look at your nephews, your pants can't cover your ankles. With that money, you can make clothes for a few nephews.

The third child, Yang Tiegen, ate with his head sullen, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Mr. Yang wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that his wife was determined not to pay for money. As soon as he opened his mouth, he estimated that he was going to make trouble again, but he didn't make a sound.
