The new book of the burning prairie star

After washing up, Wang watched Yang Lidi walk into the room and lie down on the bed. She went over and pushed him, and Yang Lidi moved his body towards the bed. "Hey, no, don't sleep yet, I have something to tell you," Wang said hurriedly, fearing that her husband would fall asleep.

"What's the matter?" Yang Lidi half-closed his eyes.

"If our eldest son is successful in finding a partner, where will he live after getting married?"

"As long as there is a place to live at home, just live here..." Yang Lidi sat up suddenly, his eyes wide open.

"It's not just about where the eldest brother will live. The second brother is already fifteen years old, and there are several boys of the same age in the village who are also looking for a date. Although we are not in a hurry, we still have to think about where the two brothers will live after they get married."

"Where do I live? Where do I live..." Yang Lidi got off the bed, stood up, and walked back and forth in the room with a frown.

"Hey, stop swaying back and forth. It's giving me a headache." Wang couldn't stand his way of acting.

Upon hearing this, Yang Lidi sat back on the bed dejectedly.

"Don't you have any idea in your mind?" Wang said hatefully.

"Sure? Can I conjure up a house out of thin air? I have to pay the bride price for the eldest and second sons, and save up for the dowries of the two girls. These are not small amounts of money. Besides, building a few more houses will also cost money. Our family can't afford it." Yang Lidi looked frustrated: "The brothers and sisters are too close in age. We don't even have time to catch our breath." "When the children were born, you were the happiest one. Now that they have grown up and got married, you complain that I gave birth to children too often?" Wang was not happy.

"No... No, I don't mean to blame you." Yang Lidi quickly pulled his wife who was about to leave the house: "I was wrong... Don't be angry, I'm sorry..."

"You solved the problem, which made me happier than anything else."

"What should we do? Why don't we ask our parents? I'm sure they have a good idea." Yang Lidi clapped his hands excitedly and gave himself a thumbs up in his heart for his cleverness.

"Come back!" Wang called to her husband who wanted to consult his parents. "Do you think that if Biao passes the exam, will he continue to stay in the village?"

"Of course not. After passing the imperial examination, the court gives money every month. I heard that the money is not small." "Since you won't stay at home, then it doesn't mean..." "What do you want to do?" Yang Lidi looked at Wang with wide eyes in surprise. "It's just what you think." Wang looked calm, as if she had known her husband's reaction when she heard this.

"No, no! The second brother is no longer here. I can't let others point fingers at me and scold me, bullying an orphan and a widow." Yang Lidi's face flushed with excitement.

"Keep your voice down!" Wang immediately leaned out of the window and looked around, patting her chest. Fortunately, no one was around. "I'm discussing this with you. When both boys are married..." Seeing her husband's unfriendly look, she quickly made amends: "Then I'll bring my second brother's wife and his family back." Yang Lidi's expression eased a lot. Wang stole a glance at him and continued, "Go and talk to your parents first. Whether it will work or not, what we say here doesn't count." "Hey, okay..." Yang Lidi turned his sight to the house of the old couple Yang Dashan. Seeing that the lights were on inside, he quickly walked in, thinking that his parents should have an idea about this matter. Wang was afraid that her husband would not be able to say it, so she followed him into the house.

"What? You want to drive Brother Biao's family out to make room for your son to get married?" Zhang stood up and looked at her eldest son with an expression of disbelief.

"Not to drive... drive out..." Yang Lidi was timid and guilty.

"Hmph! No matter if I kick you out or what, don't even think about it!" Zhang sat down on the edge of the bed angrily. Her hand touched the old clothes she had just mended and she threw them at Yang Lidi.

"Mom and Dad, we're not kicking you out. Even though my second brother is gone, we'll still support his family. This is just a temporary solution. If it doesn't work, just borrow some money and build a house in the yard!" Wang pretended to pull her husband.

Zhang looked at Wang with disdain, knowing that it was Wang's idea. He was stirring up trouble day by day, and he would not stop until he broke up the family. "There is no money to build more houses. The two brothers Zi'an only went to school for two years each, but Biao has been studying all the time. Although the money for his studies has always been paid by the public, it was also earned by the second brother when he was a waiter in the town. He did not spend a penny earned by you two. Even if the second brother is gone now, how can he have the nerve to say that the children he left behind were raised by you two."

“No…no…” Yang Lidi shrank into the corner like a quail.

"Brother Biao has earned a lot of money copying books in the past two years..." Wang saw the old couple glaring at her angrily, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She said weakly: "I don't blame him for not handing over the money he earned to the government. I just said that he is capable and has read the most books in the family. Regardless of whether he will pass the imperial examination in the future, he will have more ways to make money than the two brothers Zi'an."

Although Yang Dashan was half lying on the bed without saying a word, Wang still saw the recognition in his eyes, and she felt very suffocated in her heart: Why is my son so unpopular! But she only complained in her heart and did not dare to say it out loud, "How about dividing the house again..."

"How should we divide it? Tell me." Zhang was disgusted, but she held back her anger, wanting to see how her eldest daughter-in-law would perform next. Wang didn't notice that her mother-in-law was wrong, and immersed herself in her own plan: "Let Meihua and Xiao Zhang share a room, and I and the child's father will take Ping'an to one room, and we will vacate the two newly built rooms in the east house for Zi'an to get married."

"Oh, then where will you live when we get married?" Zhang said with a smile.

"Just live in Brother Biao's west room." Wang said casually, and immediately felt something was wrong. Zhang had already picked up the small broom she usually used to clean the bed and hit her: "You bastard, you just can't stand Brother Biao being well off. You always want to take advantage of him. You stinky bastard, you bitch, you corrupted the good people..."

When everyone heard Zhang's scolding and beating, they all gathered towards the old couple's room. Yang Biao had just come back from a bath and a walk. He touched his loose hair and was almost done. Hearing the noise, he hurried forward and saw Zhang beating Wang and cursing loudly. Yang Lidi and his son wanted to step forward to separate them, but they didn't dare. "Grandma, what happened? Let's talk it over." Yang Biao stepped forward to separate Zhang and took the small broom in her hand. A few strands of hair that were pulled off the ground were blown onto Yang Biao's shoes by the wind. At this time, Wang's hair was torn by her mother-in-law, her clothes were torn in several places, and the left side of her face was swollen, which was a bit horrible.

"Let's go back to the house and rest. We still have to go to the fields tomorrow." Yang Dashan took his wife's hand and walked back to the house. Yang Biao wanted to know what happened, so he followed him into the house.
