"Did you make a lot of money? How did you make it? How much?" Jiang Dahe took off the backpack behind his mother and picked it up in his hands. When he heard his niece's words, his face was full of curiosity.

"Let's talk inside. It's not convenient outside." Zhang Jinlan laughed softly twice.

She turned her head and looked around.

Even if she didn't see the villagers, she didn't dare to explain the matter at the door.

After all, wealth should not be shown off.

She drove her family inside.

"Mom, the food is ready, wash your hands and eat."

Walk into the yard.

Zhu Yingqiu just happened to come out of the kitchen.

See my mother-in-law and niece come back.

She raised her voice.

"No hurry, take the pork from the backpack and cook it, cut it into slices and stir-fry it with the remaining pickles. Everyone in the family will enjoy it today!"

Zhang Jinlan laughed.

The wrinkles on his face suddenly became apparent.

"Mom, did you find some money? Why did you buy meat? You only have eggs. If you sell them all, you must have bought meat, right? Mom, why are you so generous today? Are you living a miserable life?"

Sun Pingmei came out from the main room.

Joked.

But she couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.

In her mind, having meat to eat is no different from celebrating the Chinese New Year.

"Picking up money? How much money can there be on the ground for me to pick up? Today, I, your mother, earned nearly four taels of silver! Haha."

Zhang Jinlan became excited.

She untied her purse and took out the three silver coins inside.

As for the copper coins from selling eggs, they are still in the wallet.

"Where did you get the money? How can you sell eggs for so much? Oh my God, mother, you are not stealing money? Did anyone see us? Hiss, ouch——"

As soon as Sun Pingmei finished speaking, her mother-in-law tapped her on the forehead.

Very strong.

She cried out in pain unconsciously.

"What's the point of stealing? Why do everyone think I'm a thief?"

Zhang Jinlan was extremely angry.

My son is like this.

The same goes for my daughter-in-law.

The Jiang family members looked at each other.

No one responded.

It is true that Zhang Jinlan's image as a shrew has taken root deeply in their hearts.

They are all unreasonable shrews. They are capable of stealing money, right?

"Today, after selling eggs with Fubao, we went for a stroll on the street and happened to meet a boy whose mother had died. He must be the son of a wealthy family. He was dressed very luxuriously. His mother's body was lying outside the clinic, still warm. He was about the same age as Tongji, so there was no way he could carry it. So he said on the street that he would give money to anyone who could help him carry his mother's body back. When I heard about this good opportunity, I went there immediately.

Guess what happened? His father's concubine, his aunt, didn't even open the door! She also threw out three and a half taels of silver from inside, asking him to buy a coffin and bury him in a mass grave. I had no choice but to go to the coffin shop without telling his mother. The boy was generous and gave me all the three and a half taels of silver. I don't know what he would use to buy a coffin if he had no money. But I didn't tell him. What if he regretted it? "

Zhang Jinlan explained the cause of the matter clearly.

Everyone in the Jiang family stared with their eyes wide open.

"Oh my god, you dare to carry a corpse? Your daughter-in-law admires you!"

When Sun Pingmei heard the word "corpse", she was so scared that she grabbed her man's arm and refused to let go.

"Mom, I'm useless."

Jiang Dahe was very upset. It was all because of his incompetence, inability to make money, and inability to even find odd jobs, otherwise he would not have to let his mother carry the corpse.

"Mom, you are old and still carrying a corpse. Are you tired? Your son will give you a massage at night. You have worked hard."

As expected of being the youngest son that the old couple of the Jiang family love the most, Jiang Siyin is always good at coaxing people.

"Grandma, I can get married a few years later. You don't have to work so hard, grandson..."

Jiang Tongjin's voice choked and he lowered his head, as if he was crying.

"Okay, this matter has passed. Why are you crying, young man? Old woman, go find the matchmaker in Zhoujia Village tomorrow and ask her to find a boyfriend for Tong Jin. You should give birth to a child as soon as possible for your grandmother to hold. This is filial piety, don't you understand?" Jiang Shoujia patted his grandson on the shoulder.

It seems like a task has been assigned.

In fact, it is to let him not feel too burdened.

"Okay, we have money now. There's no need to delay our grandson's marriage. The betrothal gift will be the usual amount, two taels of silver, no more. We also need to prepare a few tables of banquets, which will cost a lot of money. Tongmu is already thirteen years old, and the weather is very dry. I guess we won't be able to save money this year. We have to save some money for Tongmu's future marriage."

Zhang Jinlan had already planned how to use the three taels and a half.

In fact, two taels of silver to marry a wife is already considered expensive.

If you find someone uglier, one or two will be enough.

But she couldn't bear to see her eldest grandson suffer any injustice.

She herself is a person who looks at things.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come all the way to marry in Jiangjia Village.

A small part of it was due to family reasons, and a large part of it was because her old man was so handsome when he was young.

Although she looked ordinary, her children were not ugly. The eldest and second oldest were tall, mighty and domineering.

Although my daughter is not very pretty, she has fair skin, which is what the saying goes: a white complexion can conceal a hundred flaws.

Only the youngest son.

She looks almost exactly like her man when he was young.

So deep down, she loves her younger son more.

At the beginning, Zhang Yanzi was chosen as the wife for the youngest son.

It’s also because Yan Zi is pretty, and the relationship of being a few generations apart is just an excuse.

This is not.

Her little granddaughter Fubao.

Incorporated the advantages of both parents.

She is so beautiful.

She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

Jiang Fubao, who was sharing candied haws with her brothers, always felt that there was a burning gaze on her.

She turned around, but no one was looking at her.

Jiang Fubao didn't care anymore.

She distributed the candied haws.

Licking together with the brothers.

Candied haws should be eaten by biting them, but this is a rich way of eating that only people who own a whole string of candied haws are entitled to enjoy.

The Jiang family children were only willing to lick the food bit by bit.

The maltose outside is very sweet.

With every lick.

I feel a little happier in my heart.

"Okay, put that aside for a while, it's time to eat."

Jiang Fubao's aunt brought the food to the table and saw the children eating candied haws without even raising their heads.

she instructed.

Tonight, the Jiang family lit the oil lamp for the first time.

Because it was already pitch dark outside after cooking.

You can't eat in the dark.

So, this meal was eaten faster than usual.

After all, if you delay it for a while, the oil lamp will have to burn a little longer.

It was simply burning Zhang Jinlan's heart.

"Is the water ready? I'll take a bath later. I've carried the corpse and am tainted with bad luck. I can't bring it to bed." While chewing the meat, she did not forget to remind her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Okay, just wait for mom to wash." Zhu Yingqiu responded.

Half an hour later, all the Jiang family members fell asleep.

Only Jiang Fubao was lying on the bed with his eyes open.

She is very tired.

She walked a lot today, her legs were sore and her eyelids were drooping.

But she had to go to the space to check on the chickens.

The eggs also have to be moved under the bed.

After her two brothers fell asleep, she entered the space.
