Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Mrs. Zhao just thought that her daughter-in-law cooked two bones to eat every day, and she scolded her every day for not knowing how to live. She spent a penny every day to buy a bone that even a dog wouldn't chew, but she didn't know what the point was.

Su Tong bought the big bones mainly to supplement calcium. Besides, although they were just big bones, the soup made from them was particularly delicious. Although Mrs. Zhao disliked it, she drank as much as Su Tong every time.

In addition to drinking bone soup, Su Tong would also go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms. Every autumn rain brings a chill, and after every autumn rain, mushrooms on the mountains would pop up in groups.

Su Tong would pick the mushrooms home, dry them, and stew them with big bones. It was simply divine. Sometimes he would go to the bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain to dig some winter bamboo shoots.

When the first snowflake fell, it meant winter was coming. Su Tong also made clothes for the children. However, the outside was made of worn-out cloth, while the inside was made of fine cotton, which was soft and skin-friendly.

I also made two cotton jackets for myself, both made of gray cotton cloth. I also made one for the original owner's father and mother. Since the weather was cold anyway, it was a good opportunity to make clothes for the children as well.

Su Tong has money now, so there is really no need for her to embroider in the middle of winter just for a little money. She would only do a little during the day. The most important thing is to make sure to keep the kang heated. The weather is too cold now. If the kang is not heated, the house will be like an ice cellar.

On the day when the fourth brother got married, the third brother finally came back with a lot of bags, a big smile on his face, and even wearing a thick cotton jacket.

"Mom, I'm pretty lucky this time. I happened to meet a wealthy family that was preparing a dowry for their daughter. I know carpentry, so I helped a carpenter. I earned more than one or two taels of silver during this period of time. The owner of the shop also gave me a lot of things."

Mrs. Zhao took a look at the thick cotton-padded jacket her son was wearing and said, "You bought the cotton-padded jacket yourself, Third Brother. I'm not saying that you haven't divided the family property yet. The money you have in your hands has a share of the family property. You are not allowed to hide your private money, and you are not allowed to forget your mother after you get married."

Su Tong stood aside with a big belly. Maybe because he had taken good care of himself during this period, his face had a hint of redness. The fair and tender person stood aside without saying a word, with a hint of coldness on his little face.

Zhao Laosan took a look and Su Tong opened his mouth, but in the end he just laughed foolishly twice, "Mom, how could I dare to do that? The owner saw that I was working hard and was afraid that I would catch a cold and bring bad luck, so he gave me an old cotton-padded jacket that he didn't wear anymore."

Mrs. Zhao took a look at the cotton-padded jacket and said, "Your cotton-padded jacket is quite good. Your father and I have never worn such a good jacket. Let's take it off and put it at home later."

Although Su Tong was separated from Zhao Laosan, she swore that she definitely heard the sound of Zhao Laosan gritting his teeth.

Su Tong would not be so foolish as to intervene between the mother and son, but stood aside pretending to be deaf and dumb, and by the way, he wanted to see if Zhao Laosan would leave his cotton-padded jacket to his mother, and then go to work in the town in the cold.

"Mom, I don't even have a thick cotton jacket in this winter. If I give this to you, I will have to go to work in the cold. Not only will I freeze to death, but I may not even get paid."

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Man Zhao stepped in, "Old lady, our son is right, let the third son wear this dress, and bring it back when he comes back."

Zhao Laosan was so angry that he laughed. The servant stood aside without saying a word, thinking that a man who could not even be beaten with three sticks dared to refute what Zhao Pozi said today. The sun really rose from the west.

"Dad, you are so good to me. You know that I work so hard outside to earn money for the family, so you are going to make me a thick cotton-padded jacket for the New Year, right?

After all, I have either worn my brother's clothes or your clothes since I was a child, and I have never worn new clothes. I never thought that I, Zhao Laosan, would be able to wear new clothes after living for so many years. I am so happy that I don't know what to say. "

Mrs. Zhao slapped her thigh and said, "Shi Laosan, what are you dreaming about? Okay, you can keep your tattered cotton jacket for yourself."

Mrs. Zhao was not a fool. How much could a worn-out cotton-padded jacket be worth? But making a new cotton-padded jacket would cost at least two or three million yuan, and she was reluctant to spend the money.

Mrs. Zhao was counting the coins and was about to put the money in her pocket when Zhao Laosan stretched out his hand and said, "Mother, have you forgotten something? Didn't we agree before? When a man goes out to find work, he should hand over 70% of the money to the family and keep 30% for himself.

Now that I have given you all the money, shouldn’t you give me my share?”

When Mrs. Zhao heard that she was going to take the money out, she was immediately unhappy, "Zhao Laosan, what are you thinking about? I worked so hard to raise you, what's wrong with taking some money from you? This is called being filial to an old man. Besides, what do you, a grown man, need money for? You two just got married, and you will spend some money recklessly, so I will keep it for you."

"Dad, please say something. It's impossible that the golden words you said are not taken seriously now. If that's the case, we brothers will be heartbroken." Zhao Laosan naturally knew that Mrs. Zhao's words were not trustworthy, so he immediately looked at the old man Zhao next to him.

Old man Zhao took the pipe and glanced at Mrs. Zhao, "Third brother, there are many places to spend money at home now, and your mother is saving it for your own good. You are going to have a child soon, so you have to save some money for your child."

Zhao Laosan sat on a chair nearby and said, "Since that's the case, I won't go to work. The more I work, the less money I can save. First of all, I might as well just stay at home.

"What are you doing standing there, wife? Let's go back quickly. It's so cold. Instead of working hard outside and ending up with nothing, it's better to stay at home and enjoy life. Anyway, someone will take care of my food and drink. Why should I risk my life?"

After Zhao Laosan finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao suddenly became anxious, because according to what Zhao Laosan said, they would have to be busy for at least another two or three months, and they could earn at least three or four taels of silver in these two or three months. Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear to see this money go away like that.

The key point is that Zhao Laosan does manual work, and none of the brothers in the family have this skill, so even if they want to replace Zhao Laosan to do the work, it is estimated that no one will want them.

Old Zhao had the same idea, but he would not give the third brother money. "Third brother, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"

Zhao Lao San was not afraid, "Dad, outsiders all praise our Zhao family as a well-known honest family in the surrounding villages, otherwise my father-in-law and mother-in-law would not marry their daughter to me. But if others know that you don't keep your word, what will they think of our Zhao family? How will they talk about you?

If the promised things are not kept, it will easily discourage the children. I work hard outside to make money, just to have some money in my hands. In the future, I won’t be able to afford to go out and socialize or buy a candy for my children.

Don't tell me that we can't save money. I give 70% of my income to the family. At the very least, we have that big share. We are definitely rich."
