Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

"Well, grandma, stop crying. Let's go, Fubao, let's see your aunt and the others off."

Zhang Jinlan took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cleared her throat.

He picked up his granddaughter and slowly walked into the yard.

But my daughter and her family had long disappeared.

"Mom, Sanhe and the others have already left. I just said I would send her to the village entrance, but Sanhe wouldn't let me."

Jiang Dahe came back from outside.

Said to Zhang Jinlan.

"If you don't want to see me off, then don't. Let her go. Come here, I have something to say." Hearing that her daughter had left, Zhang Jinlan was stunned for a few seconds.

It soon returned to normal.

She waved to her eldest son.

"Just now, I secretly gave Sanhe half a tael of silver. She has a hard life. You only have this one sister, so it's only right for you to help her. As for the rest of the silver, keep two taels for Tongjin to marry, and take out another two taels. Mother plans to expand a few rooms. What Mrs. Zhou said just now is right. When all the children get married, there will be no room at home.

Since we are going to expand, we will give each of our eight children a room! As for the remaining money, we will save it and not touch it. The hens at home are doing well and lay so many eggs every day. With this income, we will be able to earn back the money quickly. "

Zhang Jinlan's words hit Jiang Fubao's heart hard.

Oh my god! She could finally sleep alone.

From now on, you no longer have to sneak in and out of the space.

"You all listen to me."

Jiang Dahe had no objection.

So does everyone else.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll go to Qianjia Village to find a matchmaker to match Tongjin. You and Eryong will be responsible for building the house. Your father will take care of the land with Siyin. Come to mother's room later and she will give you the silver."

Zhou Xiufen's words gave Zhang Jinlan a reminder.

Since you want to find a son-in-law for your granddaughter.

Of course you need a house to live in.

It just so happens that the grandchildren are gradually growing up.

You have to cover it early or late.

It’s better to build it now.

After saying that, she went back to the house and took two taels of silver for her eldest son.

He took his daughters-in-law to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

Jiang Fubao also followed his brothers to the mountains to catch insects.

Everything is back to normal.

At this moment, the Sun family has returned home.

"Tell me how much money your mother gave you just now. Hand it over."

Zhou Xiufen knew that Zhang Jinlan was very good to her only daughter.

There was no shortage of subsidies in the past.

We haven't seen each other for three years, so he must be generous.

Looking at the eggs and food in the bamboo basket, Zhou Xiufen's tone softened a lot.

"I gave you half a tael, mother. It's only right that you give it to me."

Jiang Sanhe completely ignored Zhang Jinlan's instructions.

Not even a trace of hesitation.

So he handed over half a tael of silver.

"Well, your mother is really good to you, I will accept the money. By the way, your period should come in the next two days. If your body is still clean, mother will ask Doctor Xu to come and take a look at you."

Zhou Xiufen took the silver and held it tightly in her hand. She glanced at Jiang Sanhe's abdomen.

Youyou asked.

"It's time for it to come. I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. If it hasn't come tomorrow, go get a doctor." Jiang Sanhe's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Counting the days.

My period is two days late.

Could it be that she is pregnant?

Thinking about the bitter folk remedies she had taken a few days ago, her facial features wrinkled together. If she could really give birth to a son this time, then all her suffering would not be in vain.

in the afternoon.

She frequently ran to the toilet, and even if it was only a few drops of urine, she would pee hard, just to see if there was any red on her underwear.

Until after dinner in the evening.

My period hasn't come yet.

The corners of Jiang Sanhe's mouth became more and more curved.

"Mom, my period hasn't come yet. We can ask the doctor to come tomorrow." Her tone was full of excitement.

But the next second, her mood fell to the bottom.

"Why are you inviting me? Look at your red buttocks. You are so happy for nothing. The secret recipe given by the pockmarked woman is useless. You have been drinking it for two months and spent a lot of money, but you haven't even seen the shadow of the child. Forget it. I will go again tomorrow. I heard from others that there is a woman in Lijia Village who gave birth to eight sons. I will go and ask for her secret recipe."

Zhou Xiufen wanted to get angry.

Thinking of the half tael of silver given by her daughter-in-law in the afternoon and the two bowls of porridge she had in the evening, she endured it and went back to her room.

soon.

Night falls.

On the path of Zhoujia Village.

A group of people were walking stealthily towards the village entrance.

They carried luggage, and there were men and women, young and old.

"Mom, are we really going to rent a house in town? What about our land then?" Zhou Chen's youngest son Zhou Fusheng asked softly.

His face was full of sorrow.

"What if you don't rent? You can't stay in the village anymore. After what happened today, who will dare to go out in the future? I'm afraid your spine will be broken. Mother has already rented the land to the family next door and asked them to pay two hundred yuan. They are so mean and just taking advantage of the fire. I originally wanted to charge half an ounce of rent.

Well, forget it. If she doesn't rent it, we won't have two hundred dollars left. We won't come back this year. When your niece gives birth to the baby safely, we will sell the land and the house, and we won't have to come back to this broken village again."

Mrs. Zhou Chen's eyes were fixed on her granddaughter Zhou Yuanyuan's belly and never moved away.

"Mom, what if Ma Tongsheng doesn't recognize me?" Zhou Fusheng asked again.

"We are not going to look for him now. Didn't Yuanyuan say that Ma Tongsheng married the daughter of a landlord in order to get someone to give him money to take the imperial examination. I heard that he will take the exam again this autumn. If he can pass the exam and become a scholar or a juren, he will have a great reputation.

When he returned to the town, Yuanyuan had already given birth. He was so happy that he would definitely marry Yuanyuan, even if she was his concubine. What kind of a landlord is that? When the son-in-law Ma said so, he would not dare to complain at all. The child in Yuanyuan's belly is Ma Tongsheng's eldest son! It is also the ladder for our Zhou family to climb to the sky!"

It seemed as if there was fire burning in Zhou Chen's eyes.

Although she paid two taels of silver to the Jiang family today and returned the betrothal gift, she was still very heartbroken.

But the words of the little girl from the Jiang family gave her hope.

The baby in my granddaughter's belly.

It must be a boy.

In that case, what is there to be afraid of?

Just move to town.

I have the confidence to do so.

Just hold on for half a year.

The Zhou family will be able to live a good life.

"Mother is right. Let's go quickly and get in before the city gates close. We'll sleep on the big bunk bed and find a house tomorrow morning."

Xiao Chen echoed.

She held her daughter with both hands, fearing that she would accidentally fall to the ground and drop the gold nugget in her belly.

The group headed straight to the town.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and I can barely see the road clearly.

At that time, Jiang Fubao was already lying in bed sleeping.

There were two basins under her bed.

There are chicken eggs and quail eggs in it.

"Oh oh oh-"

"Oh oh oh-"

Accompanied by the crowing of roosters.

Jiang Fubao stretched and got up.

She went from being uncomfortable at first to waking up as soon as she heard the crowing sound.

Everyone thinks the rooster is an alarm clock.
