The next day, Tian Xinghua obviously had more strength. She even managed to get up and make breakfast with her little girl.

She looked at the blue brick stove and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. These kids really didn't know how to live. Whose stove was built with blue bricks? How much would that cost?

"Is this all your sister's idea? This kid, even if he has a little money, he can't be so extravagant."

When Song Jinfang saw that her mother was dissatisfied with her sister, she quickly explained:

"Mom, my sister doesn't just have a little money, she has a lot of money. Don't be afraid, our family is not short of money now."

Tian Xinghua glanced at her youngest daughter with dissatisfaction. "No matter how much money you have, you can't be so extravagant. As the saying goes, if you can eat well and wear well, you won't be poor forever. You can't be like your sister."

"Oh, mother knows so much."

Song Jinfang hugged her mother and felt how good it was to have a mother. Even if she scolded herself, it was still good.

Song Jinxiu got up only to have breakfast.

After the family had breakfast, Zhang Bangchui said to Tian Xinghua, "You stay here. I have to go. I'm worried about my mother being home alone."

Tian Xinghua said, "Okay, I'll stay for a few days and then go back. Here's the money."

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her body, opened the handkerchief, and found twenty copper coins inside.

"This is what you gave me before. Take it back. We are out of rice at home."

"No, no, just take what's given to you. Although the children don't need money, it's better for you to have it than to give it to the children."

Zhang Bangchui said this and turned away.

Song Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Uncle, wait a minute. I'll have someone take you back."

Zhang Bangchui quickly said, "I can walk back. I won't bother you anymore."

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I've already called the third uncle at the village head, and he'll be coming over soon in his ox cart.

At this moment, the voice of the third uncle sounded at the door, "Chunsheng, Jinxiu, have you eaten?"

Song Jinxiu quickly responded, "I've eaten, Third Master. I'll be leaving now."

As she spoke, she winked at her brother. Song Chunsheng said nothing, went into the east wing, brought out a bag of rice and a bag of noodles, and put them on the ox cart.

This was something the brother and sister had discussed.

This man is now their nominal stepfather. As for whether the mother wants to continue living with him, she will have to wait until she makes a decision.

From the few words my mother said yesterday, I learned that although Zhang Bangchui was poor, he had never deliberately treated her harshly.

This morning, when I looked at the picture again, my eyes and nose were no longer red. As for the red eyes and nose I saw yesterday, I guess it was because I cried yesterday.

This man is not useless since he can cry for his mother.

Although he was thin, it was simply due to malnutrition. Furthermore, although he was a hunter, he had a scholarly air that was not unpleasant.

For your mother's sake, please be polite to her.

Song Chunsheng still disliked this man and didn't want to talk to him. So Song Jinxiu said:

"Uncle, you guys eat this rice and flour first. My mother will stay at home to recuperate. When she feels better, we will come to visit you."

"No, no, no, that won't work. How can I take your things?"

Zhang Bangchui tried to refuse, but seeing that Song Chunsheng ignored him and directly loaded the rice and flour onto the cart, he looked at Tian Xinghua embarrassedly and asked her for help.

Tian Xinghua was also stunned. She didn't expect the children to do this.

While I was blaming the children for their extravagant spending, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

The fact that they were able to give gifts to this man showed that the children did not resent her for remarrying.

She sighed and said, "Just take it. I'm not feeling well, so don't do the embroidery anymore. You won't make much money."

Her mother-in-law was originally from a farming family and had no idea how to embroider. It was just that she was in poor health, so she learned to embroider purses and handkerchiefs. However, because her embroidery skills were not good, she could not sell them at any price.

This man also went up the mountain to hunt every day, but he was just trying his luck by setting traps. Sometimes he could bring back some herbs and barely make ends meet.

Half a year after her marriage, although she had no food to eat, her mother and daughter tried their best to make sure she had enough to eat, for they were afraid that she would be unhappy and run away from them.

In fact, she was not that spoiled. She worked every day in Old Song's house and rarely had a full meal.

Although the Song family has fifty acres of land, they have two students to support at home. Old Mrs. Song is very stingy and treats her daughter-in-law, who has no support from her family and is not favored by her husband, like an animal.

If she were to say, she was living a happy life in Zhang Bangchui's family.

Seeing the mother's reluctant expression, and then looking at Zhang Bangchui looking back every step he took.

"Cough cough,"

Song Jinxiu couldn't help coughing.

What are you doing? Why don't you go?

It was as if they were the vicious mother-in-law who broke up the couple.

After Zhang Bangchui left, two days passed.

Song Jinxiu said, "Mom, my brother's leg needs to be checked out. Let's see if we can buy some scar cream. Also, I want to send my younger brother to school."

"What? You want to send Qiu Sheng to school?" Tian Xinghua was surprised.

The four brothers and sisters were mentally prepared because they had discussed this matter a long time ago.

Tian Xinghua frowned, "San Ya, isn't it a little early for Qiu Sheng to go to school? Although you have a house and land now, the crops in the land still belong to others, right? If you want a harvest, you have to wait until next season."

You young people don’t know that there is an autumn tax this autumn. By the way, have you made it clear with the people? They have to pay the summer tax, so that it won’t be charged to us later.”

Song Chunsheng smiled and whispered, "Mom, even if there is no harvest for two years, our family still has enough money to support Qiu Sheng to go to school."

As he said this, he patted his wallet to show that he had money.

The head of the village had already reconciled his accounts with him and gave him all the remaining money after building the house and buying the land, which was more than two hundred taels.

He gave the money to his eldest sister, but she refused, saying that she should keep it and that she still had enough for the household expenses.

Tian Xinghua glared at her son. "Why are all of you kids like this? I know San Ya got some money, but after building a house and buying land, how much is left?"

Even if you have some left, you can’t spend it recklessly. You should know that if you have enough food and clothes, you will not be poor. If you don’t plan well, you will be poor.”

Song Jinxiu was speechless. She had heard these words so many times in the past few days that her ears were callused.

"Mom, you have to go to school early. We can't lose at the starting line."

As she spoke, she hugged her mother's arm, flipped her hand, and stuffed a silver ingot into her hand.

A white and heavy ingot of ten taels of silver suddenly appeared in her hand. Tian Xinghua was so scared that she didn't know whether to grab it or throw it away, and her heart was pounding.

"This, this is?"

She knew it was silver, but she couldn't believe it.

All she had ever seen in her life were broken silver coins. This was the first time she had seen such a whole, white silver ingot.

Moreover, the ingot was so huge that she couldn't believe it was real.

I saw my mother hugging the silver, her lips trembling.

Song Jinxiu smiled mischievously, flipped her hand, and stuffed another ingot of ten taels of silver into her hand.

"Oh my god."

Tian Xinghua held the silver in her arms and said to Song Jinfang anxiously, "Wu Ya, hurry up and close the door."

Seeing Wu Ya running to close the door, she sat down and angrily said to Song Jinxiu, "Child, why are you so ignorant? You have money, but you don't hide it properly. You just take it out so carelessly?"

But she was scared to death, wasn't she?
