Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Chapter 255 Let Him Try

Cui Laoer ran away and never came back, leaving everyone in the room in silence.

But the story is not over yet.

Old Man Cui took a few long puffs of his cigarette and said to Old Lady Cui, "Take out the cash box and check how much money we have."

The second brother and his wife retreated, but they did accept the gift from the woman, and if the matter was to be resolved, they had to return the gift.

Old Mrs. Cui stood up and was about to take the money box, but Erlang stood up with a determined look on his face.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I want to solve this problem myself."

Old Lady Cui was surprised and asked, "Do you have any money on hand?"

She knew that the third daughter-in-law was doing business with her children, but she didn't know how much they earned.

The gifts that Feng received, the 500 kilograms of grain alone, were worth nearly ten taels of silver. How many children could earn that much?

Erlang shook his head woodenly.

Silang did have some money left over from his earnings, but after buying the land, he only had a little over one or two taels left, which was far from enough.

Old Man Cui raised his head suddenly: "You, do you agree to marry into the family?"

"No." Even for his younger siblings, he couldn't agree. "If the money isn't enough, I can work and earn some. I'll definitely be able to make up the difference. Grandpa and grandma have helped us so much. We'll have to find a way to pay for it ourselves."

Silang gritted his teeth and said, "I can earn it too. Let's return the grain and won't let my second brother marry into the family."

"You, alas, have such unreliable parents, it's really..." Looking at her sensible grandchildren, Old Mrs. Cui wanted to curse again.

Old Man Cui sighed: "Even if you can earn it, the woman can't wait. Consider this money as a loan from me. First, collect enough to return the grain to her, and then you can return the rest to us slowly."

Yu also advised: "My family can squeeze out two taels, Erlang, don't be stubborn, listen to your grandfather, we are a family and we can talk it out."

Mr. Cui had just finished paying for the betrothal gift, and these two taels were all the money he could afford.

Erlang still shook his head: "I still want to solve it myself."

After saying that, he walked out of the door without looking back, and didn't stop no matter who called him.

"You have done evil."

Since Erlang was not there, the rest of the people had nothing to say, so they all went home.

Old Mrs. Cui took out the money box, which contained all the couple's savings, which totaled less than six taels.

After a year of disaster, this amount of money was considered wealthy in the village, but it was still less than half of ten taels.

Old Man Cui looked at the money box for a long time, took out the land deed from it, looked at it for a while, and put it back.

"Put it away. Erlang is a sensible child. Let him take care of it himself for now."

The child is older now, and he said he could handle it himself, so let him try. At worst, we can just sell the land.

After this incident, the good mood of the two elders of the Cui family was gone.

Lin called Lichun, Liqiu and Cuicui to go to the new house. The stove built two days ago was completely dry. She led the three of them to the workshop and gave them two keys.

"Aunt San, this is for us?"

They had just gone in to take a look. It was very spacious. There were five stoves neatly stacked in the clean room. It was not crowded at all. Ten or so people could stand there without feeling crowded.

Lin smiled and said, "I'll leave this room to you. You two families cook different kinds of food, but you both take care of the stove. I'll give this room to you to use, and you two families will share the key. Is that okay with you?"

This is absolutely amazing.

Lichun and Liqiu's eyes were full of surprise.

They didn't expect that Auntie San not only taught them the skills, but also gave them a kitchen to use.
