The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute

After dinner, Mo's mother and others chatted with Old Mrs. Yu for a while and then planned to go back.

When Mo's mother saw Old Lady Yu carrying a few hens and putting them on the ox cart, she didn't know what to say. Her mother was afraid that she would suffer in her husband's family, so she wouldn't listen to anything she said.

Mo Rao was also startled. Three old hens came up, and they looked lively and energetic. They were obviously laying hens. Sure enough, what Old Lady Yu said next verified her idea.

These chickens are laying eggs. Go back and put them in the chicken coop and take good care of them, Mrs. Yu reminded.

“I understand, Grandma,” Mo Rao echoed.

Hens that lay eggs in the village are a real treasure, especially in this poor mountain village. The Yu family only has five laying hens in total, and they were given three at once. This grandma's family can handle it.

As for her aunt, it wasn't that she looked down on her, but she was the type of person who was very cunning.

Not long after the Mo family left, the You family started to make a commotion.

Xiao Zhou was very angry when she saw the three hens given to her. She originally wanted to catch a hen that could lay eggs and send it to her parents' home.

Her mother has been coveting their hens for a long time.

But her mother-in-law refused to give in no matter what, and in the end the matter was left unresolved.

Unexpectedly, when her sister-in-law arrived, her mother-in-law gave her three laying hens. Who was she trying to annoy?

Just after his sister-in-law and her family left, Xiao Zhou looked at everyone with a different look.

Yu Sheng knew what his mother was angry about, so he quickly comforted her: "Mom, my aunt's family only took three laying hens, but my cousin's husband gave us a red envelope of two taels of silver each, which adds up to four taels of silver. My aunt also gave us ten cents each."

If we were to buy laying hens, we'd have to buy quite a few. In the end, we were taking advantage of them. Besides, my aunt's family sent us so many holiday gifts. Who else in the surrounding area could compare to the amount of gifts we received? Grandma only gave them three hens in return.

When Xiao Zhou heard her son say that her eldest cousin's husband gave them two taels of silver each, she could not hear anything else.

It took a long time for Xiao Zhou to recover from her shock.

Where is the red envelope? When Xiao Zhou came to her senses, the first thing she thought of was the red envelope.

Where is it? Yu Sheng said indifferently.

When Xiao Zhou heard this, she could no longer sit still and immediately went to ask Old Lady Yu for money.

Looking at his mother's attitude, Yu Sheng felt that his comfort had no effect, but instead made his mother even more angry.

What Yu Sheng didn't know was that because of his careless words, the family was torn apart.

During lunch, Old Mrs. Yu collected the red envelopes from the children's hands. She was mainly worried that the children would lose the red envelopes again. She thought it was just a few cents and didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, it was because of Xiao Zhou's disturbance that Old Mrs. Yu realized that the two red envelopes contained four taels of silver.

Knowing that it was four taels of silver, it was even more impossible for him to give it to Xiao Zhou.

Old Mrs. Yu was busy counting the holiday gifts sent by her daughter and didn't pay any attention to the noisy little Zhou outside the door.

Old Mrs. Yu locked the candies and snacks in the cabinet and put the fabrics directly into the box.

Valuable things like food naturally have to be locked up, otherwise it is not impossible for them to be stolen.

She planned to make the fabric into ready-made clothes and then distribute them to the children at home. Otherwise, with Xiao Zhou's temper, the children wouldn't even get any clothes. She also hid the candies and snacks, leaving them for the children to enjoy slowly.

When I counted the meat, I found that the quantities didn't match at all. It was obvious that half a chicken was missing, and the same was true for the bacon. There was only a small amount of bacon in the dish, so why was there only this little left now?

She said that this little Zhou, a dog that always eats shit, sneaked to the east end of the village that afternoon, and it turned out to be to deliver meat. What's so unclear about this? Using her own family's food to subsidize the lazy people in her mother's family, there is no such conscience in the whole village.

Speaking of the Zhou family, they are also the weird ones in this village. Not only are they lazy and gluttonous all day long, they also instigate their daughters to take things from their husband's family to supplement the family income.

Now, look what’s happened. They even covet the things sent by her daughter. They are really spoiled.

But it didn't mean that the old lady had a tantrum, because little Zhou started to make a fuss in the evening.

Mom, that money is the children’s New Year’s money, why are you taking it?

"She was given to my two children, so this should be given to them," Xiao Zhou said firmly.

Old Mrs. Yu didn't say anything, but took out four red envelopes and opened them in front of everyone.

Two of the red envelopes are worth ten cents each, and the other two are worth two taels each, which adds up to four taels and twenty cents.

Mo's mother gave 10 cents, thinking that she had never given the child New Year's money when she returned to her parents' home for so many years. This time she had money in her hands, so she naturally wanted to give the child New Year's money. So she gave 10 cents, thinking that if she gave more, given Xiao Zhousheng's personality, it would definitely not reach the child's hands.

Li Lingye gave two taels of silver right away. Originally, he planned to give each person ten taels of silver. In Li Lingye's eyes, ten taels of silver was really not a lot.

When Mo Rao knew that he was going to give ten taels of silver, she immediately rejected it. After all, giving so much at once might not be a good thing. In the end, the two of them discussed it and decided to give two taels of silver.

It was just that Xiao Zhou didn’t know about this episode, otherwise she would have hated Mo Rao to death.

But even these two taels of silver were a considerable sum of money in this poor mountain village. Little Zhou naturally didn't know that Mo's mother gave 20 taels of silver to Old Lady Yu alone.

Just these two red envelopes of 4 taels of silver were enough to make her think about it. If she knew it was 20 taels of silver, Xiao Zhou would have joined forces with her natal family and found ways to get the money.

"Mom, you saw it too. It's for the child. What's the matter with you taking it?" Xiao Zhou continued to insist.

Old Mrs. Yu said with a stern face: Everyone has seen this silver, and everyone knows how much it is. Since it is for the children, I will keep it. When the two children get married, I will give it to them. There is no need for you to worry about it here.

When Xiao Zhou saw the silver, she was no longer willing to let Old Lady Yu take it back.

Mom, what do you mean by "you take them in"? They are my children, so it should be me, their mother, who takes them in.

"You prodigal son, have you forgotten who's in charge of this family?" Old Lady Yu said angrily.

Old Man Yu was also extremely disappointed with his eldest son's family. He just stood there in silence, letting little Zhou act like a spoiled brat.

Anyone could see from this silence that it was a tacit approval of Xiao Zhou's behavior.

How could this not make Old Mrs. Yu and Old Man Yu feel disheartened?

Xiao Zhou's unreasonable behavior did not make Old Lady Yu sad, but Yu Wangsheng's attitude made Old Lady Yu completely disappointed.

Old Lady Yu angrily turned to her eldest son and said, "Should I keep this money with you, or should I give it to your wife?"

When Yu Wangsheng heard his mother asking him to choose, he didn't know who to side with. He was indeed a little selfish, after all, the family hadn't split up yet. His younger brother was also working outside, and because the family was too poor, he still hadn't found a wife.

If the money was left with his mother, she would definitely use it to find a wife for the second son. Naturally, he was unwilling to do so, but if he gave it to his wife, he was afraid that his wife would be confused and would send it to her parents' home.

He really didn't know what to do, and could only lower his head and remain silent. As his mother, how could Old Mrs. Yu not know that her son's thoughts must be the same as Xiao Zhou's.

In the end, Xiao Zhou made a big fuss, and Old Man and Mrs. Yu were also hurt, so they decided to split up the family.

As for the children's New Year's money, Grandma Yu was so angry that she threw it directly to her eldest son.

When Boss Yu heard about the division of the family property, she refused to accept the money and told her mother to keep it.

When Xiao Zhou heard about the family division, she was very happy and insisted on dividing the family.

She even had a fight with Mr. Yu and his wife over this. Mrs. Yu was really sad and finally decided to split the family.

Finally, with the village chief as witness, the Yu family successfully divided up their property. The remaining silver from the public treasury was just over two taels. Old Mrs. Yu gave one tael of silver to each of her two sons.

As for the 20 taels of silver sent by Mo's mother, Old Mrs. Yu kept it secret and never mentioned it at all.

After the family split up, Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu moved back to their old house. The house was originally intended for their youngest son to live in after he got married, but due to their poverty, they had never found a wife. Fortunately, the house had been renovated, so it was no problem to live in.

The person who was happiest about the division of the family was Xiao Zhou, while everyone else was silent.
