After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Erli saw Yuntao's expression and knew clearly that his adopted brother had not come back for so many years. It was probably because he was dead. Otherwise, with his filial piety, he would have come back long ago. He still had three sons at home. How could he not miss him?

Erli left without saying anything else. He wanted to tell his family the good news and make them happy.

Yun Tao sat alone on a chair in the hall and thought for a long time. Sanli hadn't come back for so many years. Before, the family had no money, but now they have money. What if he suddenly came back, what should I do, facing a strange man? Yun Tao became more and more irritated. What if this man died outside? It's hard to say.

Oh, don’t think about it anymore. Anyway, we can just let nature take its course.

After Yun Tao figured it out, she stopped thinking about it and went straight to the workshop.

After Erli returned home, he couldn't wait to tell his wife about this.

Erli's wife was also very happy after hearing this. Her family finally had a job. At least her family could earn 1.8 taels of silver a month. After work, she could also work in her own fields, which could help supplement the family's daily expenses. It was equivalent to saving all the wages.

The old couple became happier the more they thought about it.

At this time, Aunt Ying came back and saw her parents so happy, so she asked them the reason.

Erli: "Aunt Ying, our family has a job now. I went to look for your third aunt. She promised us to work on her farm for 600 copper coins a month, which means 1.8 taels of silver a month for our family of three. Aunt Ying, if you calculate it this way, our family will have more than ten taels of silver a year."

Aunt Ying said at this time: "Dad, I told you a long time ago to find some help from Aunt San. Aunt San has run the workshop for such a long time, and we are only now looking for her. Our family has really lost a lot of money. Look, everyone in the village is living better than us now. Even the poorest family is better off than ours, and now we are the poorest family."

Erli whispered, "Aunt Ying, you can't say that. Our family is not the poorest. Your uncle's family is the poorest. His life is the worst. We are still a little better off."

Aunt Ying was very depressed: "Dad, why don't you compare with uncle about anything else, but who is poorer? You two really deserve to be brothers, even this is something you want to compare. I don't respect the wall, I only respect you."

"Then let's work hard and save money in the future. We'll try to move out of here as soon as possible. Now my uncle lies in bed like a corpse all day, and the smell is really terrible. Sometimes I can't sleep because of the stench. Now the weather is getting cooler, and the smell is not so bad. When summer comes, the smell won't kill you."

Erli and his wife also think this is true. They still need to have a home. Although they own their own home now, they only have two houses after all, and they still live with their eldest brother's family. Sometimes it is not very convenient, and the relationship between the two families is not very good.

Aunt Ying sat aside and heard her parents talking about their aspirations for the future. The more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong, because her father was just talking about where to work.

It seems to be in some field.

Didn't Third Aunt run a workshop? Why was it in the fields? I wanted to work in the workshop.

Ying Gu quickly asked her father: "Dad, where do you mean we should go to work? In the workshop?"

Erli touched his head embarrassedly, "Yes, Third Aunt said the workshop is full and they are not hiring anymore. Some crops in the fields are about to have a good harvest, so they asked our family to work in the fields. The wages are the same as others, 600 copper coins. I also learned before that the wages in the fields are indeed 600 copper coins. Your Third Aunt did not lie to us."

Aunt Ying: "Dad, that's not what I meant. I'm not saying that Third Aunt cheated us out of our wages. Didn't our family work in the workshop? Why did we go to the fields? Besides, working in the fields is very hard, exposed to the wind and sun. And Third Aunt has so many fields at home, we go there all day. What's the difference between my fields and our previous work? It's better to do it at home."

Erli: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? How can they be the same? Your Third Aunt has many tools in her fields, and we just need to operate them. Plus, there are so many workers, and everyone is a good worker. The key is that we can leave after working for a certain period of time, and we can still plant our own land during the rest of the time."

"Isn't it good to have a little more than one tael of silver per month for the family? Anyway, I think it's very good. I begged for this job with all my might, so you have to do it even if you don't want to."

Aunt Ying said angrily, "Dad, you know you asked for it, why don't you ask for a good job? I have to be exposed to the sun every day, and I was not fair to begin with. Now it's good, and I will be even darker in the future. Can't you ask for a good job?"

"I don't want to go. It's all about planting crops. I don't want to go anywhere else. If you want to go, you and mom can go together. I'll just plant at home."

Erli said angrily, "No, you have to go even if you don't want to. I'm going to do it for you. Besides, you can't do it at home. You might as well go to your third aunt's place and get paid for it. If you go, you can keep 100 copper coins a month. You can save it up and use it as your dowry when you get married."

"This is my bottom line. If you don't agree, I will ask you to go, without paying a penny. You must pay back all the wages you received."

Aunt Ying was very dissatisfied because her stupid father always failed to do things well.

If you can't even handle such a small matter, you will end up causing more trouble than success.

Mrs. Erli couldn't stand it any longer: "Aunt Ying, please stop making a fuss. There are so many people who want to get in, but can't. You should work hard and behave better. When the workshop finds a suitable one, you can ask your father to tell your third aunt. Why do you have to be angry with your father? It's unnecessary."

"Our family must unite and make more money. This way, when you get married, your parents can marry you off with honor. We can also live better when we are old."
