Deng Dalang is a smart man. He has a hunch that if he doesn't do something, his own team will be defeated by himself.
"Nonsense, the doctor is worried. He says that as long as you are able to have a good baby, you will certainly get better." Ji Chunhua didn't say that, but the doctor said that if Deng Dalang's legs were to get better, he had to use good herbs.
It's just that it costs several taels of silver to pay for such precious medicinal materials.
With her family background, even when Deng Dalang's business was at its best, he couldn't afford the money.
"Why don't we plant the two acres of dry land in Jinling's hands first?"
Ji Chunhua thinks that Deng Jinling is her daughter, and she can take back the things she gave her daughter when her mother's family is in trouble.
"Come back? Is Jinling willing? " Deng Dalang felt that if he really wanted to go back to these two acres of dry land, even if his legs were not good, his family would still be able to barely get enough water, and his youngest son would be able to say that he was a good family.
"She dares not to give it. It's all given by my mother. She even has all her bones. What's not my mother's. besides, I don't want her title deed. If her family is in trouble, she can't help. As a daughter, she has to plant it for a few years. When the golden drum is bigger and the family is better off, let's give it back to her."
Deng Dalang thinks his mother-in-law is right.
"That's OK. I see her mother-in-law's family is not a good match. Jinling holds the land lease in her hand. I'm worried that I will be coaxed by her mother-in-law. I'll take it back and put it at home first." Deng Dalang thought that he could not do the business of peddler himself, so he could find the village head to change his status into a farmer. In this way, his eldest son could continue to be a peddler and do the business of peddler.
"I can't be a peddler any more. I'll go back to my farm citizenship, and I can make some plans for my family in the future. Jingu is still a businessman. As he grows older, he will make more money. Then he will buy more fertile fields and mulberry fields under my name. Slowly, the family will only get better and better, but I'm afraid it's hard to live in recent years."
Deng Dalang said, "in fact, I don't want Jingu to go into the peddler business any more. My daily hard work is just to earn a small profit. If I can get a ready-made sum of money, buy some fields like the Zhou family, and let Jingu and Jinsuo grow for a few years, my family can't say it. I can also add a lot of Mu and return Jinling's land to her earlier."
He painted a very attractive pie for Ji Chunhua.
The Zhou family is a well-known wealthy family in several surrounding villages. They are very wealthy. Ji Chunhua is envious of them. When they cook, they put a lot of lard in everything. The cooking oil is bright and smells delicious. Not to mention that they can cut some pork in three or five hours.
Ji can't help swallowing her saliva when she thinks of it. After a long time in her family, she can eat a few more meals of fried oil residue with fresh peppers. Where can she have the spare money to eat pork.
"My cousin is blessed. She has a beautiful daughter."
Ji Chunhua thinks that the Zhou family's Feng Shui is good, and all the girls of the Zhou family marry well.
With pain, Deng Dalang reached for his left index finger and gently touched his forehead: "your cousin's daughter knows Braille. I've heard that she has read three character classic and hundred family names."
"But, because they knew the characters, they married to the landlords, didn't they?"
Although they are only small landlords, they can also have donkey carts when they go out. At home, they can afford to invite old ladies to cook and do housework. All year round, they can also pull on one or two silk clothes.
"Isn't Jinling's marriage also due to my two cousins?" Ji Chunhua is very proud when she talks about the cousins of the Zhou family.
It is also such a rich cousin. When she married into the Deng family, because her cousins made up so much, she was never angry with her mother-in-law. She was not like her sister-in-law, who even dared to fart when she was rubbed by her mother-in-law.
"Well, so my daughter must marry well so that she can bear less hardship." Deng Dalang said here and took a look at Ji Chunhua.
Seeing that she heard it, she mentioned Lin Anxin again.
"Is Siya OK?"
"Cheap life, cheap life, can't die, golden drum should go to her decoction." Mention Lin Anxin, Ji Chunhua is full of evil fire.
Ji Chunhua's heart has always been very contradictory. On the one hand, she has lost her feelings for the child daughter-in-law she brought up with her own hands. On the other hand, she hates that she has misled her eldest son's heart.
"Well, you're just a knife mouthed beancurd heart. You're not worried when she's sick. Now bad things happen one by one in the family. It's really hard for you. If I can be like before, our family still has a good hope, but now, alas, you say, why don't I have such a good life as my cousin of the Zhou family!"
Deng Dalang is very smart. He won't directly tell Ji Chunhua that he wants to marry Lin Siya as a daughter-in-law. Or, it's really not good. It's not bad to sell her to brothels.
In his heart, he is thinking for the sake of the Deng family's descendants. If a child's daughter-in-law is gone, it will be gone. These days, it's hard to say that many people will throw away their newly born daughter-in-law. He can slowly search for one and pick it up. When it comes back, he doesn't have to worry about the betrothal gifts. He doesn't have to worry that the daughter-in-law will take things back to his mother's home, and his sons don't have to be punished Daughters in law's mother's home to drag, but also a heart to their own.Deng Dalang's abacus was crackling in his mind. He thought it was a good deal.
Ji Chunhua sighed: "Alas, the leader, you must get better quickly. As a woman and illiterate, what can I do? This family still depends on you to support it, and the idea depends on you to take it. Once you fall down, you can empty the bottom of our family."
"It's all my fault. If I didn't want to go from there and go to another village, I would not have been so unlucky if I found a lot of money to support my family."
With a sad look on his face, Deng Dalang tried to sit up and said: "I'm a drag now. I'd better go and die. You don't have to work hard. Your mother and son are getting bigger and bigger. Those debts can always be paid back. Siya is now nine years old. When she gets better, she can also bear the burden of supporting her family. Then, you can hatch some autumn ducks and let Siya go Go and feed the ducks, and raise more pigs. When Siya feeds the ducks, he'll bring back some pig grass by the way. "
Ji Chunhua, who is willing to hold him down, cried: "what are you going to do? Isn't this a knife on my neck? You hurt your leg, but you are still the pillar of your family. How big is the golden drum? How many things can you know? Now the golden lock is bigger and bigger. It's still able to keep him at home and bring you tea and water. "
When she said this, she said, "you've been burning copper plates all day. I've been thinking about it all afternoon. We can't live a better life. How can we feel that you're a drag on our family? I'm determined to cure you. You told me yesterday that you should find a good marriage for Siya. I think it's feasible. When you go to that rich place, Siya won't complain that we treat her badly. "
Ji Chunhua thinks about it, so she has to marry her daughter-in-law as a daughter and exchange some betrothal gifts for money to treat Deng Dalang.
"Well, that's the only way, when I give up the child? I'm honest, obedient, diligent and filial. I don't want to marry her out if there's a way. She's brought up by you hand in hand. She'll stay in front of you and talk with you when she gets old. "
Deng Dalang stretched out his right hand and patted Ji Chunhua's hand gently, then said: "it's raising a kitten and a dog. It's emotional after three years. You don't have to be sad. If you miss her later, you'll have a look at her secretly. If you see that she's living well, you'll be at ease."
"Well, I really can't bear it. It took my boss's mind to teach her to be well behaved and clever. I said that if I treated her as a daughter, I would marry her as a daughter."
Deng Dalang didn't answer her. He didn't dare to make a decision with his mother-in-law. He said that she was engaged and that she could still live in her own home.
Just because of his injury, the thought in his heart was far away from last night's thought.
According to his meaning, he wanted to sell her to the brothel. Although Lin Siya was black and thin, it was only because she didn't have good food and clothes. If she did well, she would be a pretty girl. What's more, she was nine years old, which was the best age to sell.
Deng Dalang has his own account in mind. If he really marries Lin Anxin as a daughter, he will only receive a couple of betrothal gifts. He is very brilliant in all the townships. However, if he throws the money into the water, it will make a dull sound, but if he really wants to throw it into his troubled home, I'm afraid he won't even have some water stars.
If you sell her to the brothel, you can at least sell her twelve or eighteen Liang. If you want to look good, you can't sell her ten or twenty Liang. It depends on how the seller bargains with the other party.
With such a calculation, he felt that his calf didn't hurt as much as before.
Sure enough, silver is the best thing.
Ji Chunhua began to talk again: "in charge of the family, for a while, where can we find a good family?"
Deng Dalang pondered a little, and then said, "don't worry about it. I will have a way. By the way, why didn't Jinling and Jinchai come back?"
Ji Chunhua smell speech, this idea was hooked to the other side, to Lin Siya said the matter behind.
He patted his thigh and scolded: "at the beginning, I said not to give birth to so many. Your mother had to give birth to them. She said that if there were branches and leaves, people would be prosperous. If there was anything in the family in the future, you could give me a hand to help. Bah, in my opinion, this idea was all thrown at the mother-in-law's side."
"Ouch Deng Dalang lay there with a wrinkled face.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, but my leg hurts again?" Ji Chunhua can't help scolding her two heartless daughters. She runs to the end of the bed in a panic. She gently opens the quilt and looks at the cotton gauze tied to her legs, which is stained with bright red blood.
"How good is that?" Ji Chunhua is in a hurry.
"Patience will pass." Deng Dalang thought about it and said, "tomorrow morning, who will go to town? Let's take a message to Jinling and ask her to go back to her mother's house."
Ji Chunhua opened her mouth and didn't say that Deng Jinling came back to her mother's home this afternoon. She not only didn't ask her parents, but also went along with a basket of vegetables to please her mother-in-law.
In her heart, she scolded Deng Jinling, who had no brain.
Besides Lin Anxin, when she woke up again, it was Deng Jingu who woke up.
