Chapter 33

"Mother, how can I be so stupid? Doesn't that damned woman hate me for not handing over the land? He beat me and wanted me to hand over the land to her. Bah, if I had a daydream, I would have killed me, and I would not hand over the title deed. I was always an honest man in charge of my family. I couldn't be filial to my parents, but I didn't know that he was bad. I also knew that I had to hide some copper plates in the dark and catch some medicine for me. It was just that I had to hide from my mother-in-law. It was too inconvenient It's over. "

When Deng Jinling mentions old lady Zhao, she really hates her teeth.

Ji Chunhua hates dog leftovers, but at the same time she can't bear to see her grandson suffer such a crime. When she is listening to Deng Jinling about these things, she finds time to help him change his wet pants and dry diapers.

A little boy who is more than one year old doesn't know how to look at people's faces. Seeing Ji Chunhua treat him well, he instinctively wants to be close to Ji Chunhua.

"Hum, the Zhao family is not kind. You can take the land lease back to me for safekeeping. By the way, your father said that you need to add an acre of land. He said that you should do it by the way this time. Now it's almost autumn harvest, and then someone should sell the land."

Deng Jinling suffered such a loss, and naturally did not believe that the Zhao family would really treat her well.

He took out the land deed he had hidden close to his body, handed it to Ji Chunhua, and told her to move the chest of drawers in front of the bed. She had a small lotus stuffed with silver coins in the mud brick behind it.

"Stupid to death, you are not afraid of the mouse to take your back away?"

Ji Chunhua put the dog left in her hand next to Deng Jinling and went to get the purse by herself.

"Niang, I found it by accident. Don't worry, the mouse can't steal it. I guess the hole behind the cupboard was dug by the daughter-in-law of the tenant in front of me. The whole wall is solidly pasted. Three sides of the hole are solid mud bricks. It's just enough to plug a small purse with a small earthen jar."

Deng Jinling is stupid, but she is a little smart.

Ji Chunhua was speechless to her second daughter. She bent down and reached out for her purse, and said, "I don't think you look very good. Zhao duocai didn't come back with some meat on her mother's back to make it up for you?"

"Niang, duocai can hide a few copper plates in the dark. It's the limit for me to catch some tonics and boil them. The dead woman is good at it. If I take silver to supplement it, she will smell fishy like a cat. I'm sure she will find it."

Ji Chunhua squints her eyes slightly. It seems that her second daughter has suffered losses in the hands of the dead old lady.

"You know what's going on at home now. Your father is still ill in bed, and the drum is still small. When the land lease mother takes it back, the money won't affect you. I'll add an acre of land to you. Anyway, you can chew more at home. After a few years, the family will get up. By that time, the dog will be left, and you'll have a better life in the future."

Ji Chunhua is very distressed with Deng Jinling, so she advises her to be steady first and know what to do first and what can be done later.

She was at the Zhao's house first, holding what she should have, and then she comforted Deng Jinling. From Deng Jinling's purse, she took out some small pieces of silver and bought an old hen. Then she grabbed some tonic herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula and red dates, and stewed them in the chicken for Deng Jinling to eat.

Deng Jinling was reluctant to finish the meal. Ji Chunhua scolded her, and then said, "your mother-in-law's family saw the chicken bones in this place, and she didn't dare to help you. She just said that I bought them for you. Don't worry. I need to go back to the stall to make trouble. You can eat them. I'll find the golden drum first, and then I'll make trouble in your mother-in-law's stall You've been beaten in vain. If the Zhao family dares to be the first day of junior high school, I can be the fifteenth. "

Who's afraid of whom? Ji Chunhua's temper has rarely been tolerated before.

When Deng Jinling heard this, she held her breath and was determined to eat the whole chicken.

"That's right. If your mother is here, you can still have a good meal. There's a lot to do at home, but your mother can't stay here all day." Ji Chunhua tidies up and sees that most of the chickens are in Deng Jinling's stomach. Then she leaves the Zhao family to look for Deng Jinggu.

Ji Chunhua thought about it. The time she went to find her third son was enough for her second daughter to finish eating the chicken.

Later, Ji Chunhua found out that Deng Jingu was in Shunshui village, which was next to the town, and it was only four miles back and forth. She was quick footed, and from time to time, she found Deng Jingu.

She took Deng Jingu with her. As she had said before, she made a big fuss at the steamed stuffed bun stall of the Zhao family. She drove all the guests away from the stall and smashed the stall to pieces.

He also threatened that if the Zhao family dared to beat her daughter again, she would come to the stall and make trouble. She would make trouble all the time. She told people from all over the country to have a look. What family is the Zhao family? They even coveted their daughter-in-law's dowry and had a miscarriage. Such a family should be cut by thousands of knives and thunder.

Old lady Zhao was guilty when she did something wrong yesterday. She was brought to the stall by Ji Chunhua. Her neighbors looked at her strangely.

In her heart, she suddenly regretted that night. Why did she not hold back and kick Deng Jinling?

At this time, she has long forgotten how happy she was when she succeeded and saw Deng Jinling frown with pain.At the same time, Zhao duocai and old man Zhao have to complain about her again, and old woman Zhao is not.

……

Of course, Lin Anxin and Deng Jingu don't know that Ji Chunhua has asked for the land lease of the two mu of dry land that Deng Jinling married.

At this time, she also talked to Deng Dalang about it in her room.

"It's impossible to leave. I don't know what the old lady's idea is. But my Jinling will die in the Zhao's family. Why should I abuse my daughter like this? Besides, although I don't like gousheng, it's also the grandson of Deng's family. In the future, the property held by old lady Zhao will have a share of my dog's left. Besides, Zhao has a lot of money Jinling is pretty good. At least, he has never played Jinling. It's just that old lady Zhao is too overbearing. I'm afraid you'll have to accept her temperament. When we turn over and prosper, Jinling will be better off in Zhao's family, so you don't have to worry about your temperament. "

Deng Dalang said that he wanted to pawn Lin Anxin's daughter-in-law.

"Alas, you are always the master of the family. You always say that for the sake of the family, the palm and the back of the hand are all meat. I really can't bear that girl, but now even the food has become a problem. I've thought for a long time. As long as my cousin really finds a kind family for her, I will answer it. Anyway, she can have a full meal without suffering."

"Well, I wish you had thought so long ago." Hearing this, Deng Dalang was more and more happy. He only hoped that Zhou Changgen would bring good news soon.

"By the way, Jinling said, the remaining silver is just enough to buy one mu of land. She means to add another mu of dry land."

Ji Chunhua didn't know that it was Deng Dalang's idea for Deng Jinling.

"Well, I know about this. I can't help my legs any more. As long as I don't let the injury get worse, I'll see that this medicine can be reduced in January. I'll save money and buy a few mu of land first. You still have some strength. The golden drum can also help you. When the farmers are busy, he will help you at home. When the farmers are idle, he will pick up the goods to carry you through the village."

Deng Dalang thought about it. In this way, he could save a lot of money. In addition, he wanted to learn how to plant mulberry trees, and let Chunhua follow him to learn how to raise silkworms. Of course, he had some shady things to think about.

He calculated that if the weather is good, in a few years, his Deng family will be very beautiful again.

If he wants to realize all he wants, the most basic prerequisite is to pawn Lin Anxin, the child's daughter-in-law.

"If you want to be a mother-in-law for someone else, you have to add a couple more betrothal gifts to that family. You are good at treating that child every day. Pick and see what she can take with you."

He just casually said that Lin Anxin was in Deng's house, and there was really nothing personal to her.

Except for the two rags I'm wearing now.

"In charge of the family, what about the betrothal gifts? If I don't give it to the child at all, I'm a little sorry."

Of course, if the Deng family doesn't give a cent, there's no other way for the family to get angry except Lin Anxin, right?

Deng Dalang is paying more and more attention to money. Ji Chunhua says so, but he only vaguely agrees.

"What to do is to see how the family you are looking for over there."

Ji Chunhua thinks his words are right. After thinking about it, there is no other way. She just sits there and sighs.

She couldn't change Deng Dalang's decision, but secretly begged the Bodhisattva to pity the girl, so that her cousin could find a good family and love her.

Ji Chunhua knows that her idea is extravagant. Only in this way can she get a little peace of mind.

Lin Anxin didn't know that her fate was about to be changed. For her soul, before her body and bones were healed, she had to settle down and make plans.

At this time, she was pursing her lips, laughing at Deng Jingu sitting on a stool, reaching for the top of the two large closets.

"What are you touching? Brother Jingu, did you hide your private money here? "

"Shh Deng Jingu raised his left middle finger and gently put it on his lips.

Then he looked out of the door nervously. Deng Jinsuo didn't know where he was. His mother was still talking with his father in the room. Fortunately, no one heard her.

"Four ya, darling, I'll show you something."

"What is it?" Because of the height of one of the two closets, Lin Anxin did not pay attention to the things on the top of the closets.

"It's a beautiful porcelain box. I don't know what it is. When I was a child, I heard my grandmother say it was left by the previous dynasty." While answering, Deng Jingu took something down with his right hand.

Lin Anxin stares at the gray round box in his hand. If he doesn't say it, she really doesn't know it's from the previous dynasty.

"It's something handed down from the previous dynasty. It's worth a lot of money, isn't it?"

If it were modern, those antique collectors would have to be crazy about it. They would surely make Deng Jin suspicious of life and treat antiques so rudely."My grandmother said it's not worth money!" Deng Jin's answer to the drum is very straightforward.

"Wait a minute. I'll wipe it with a damp cloth. I haven't taken it down for a long time." Deng Jingu stood in front of the window with the box and blew the dust on it.

Lin Anxin felt that it would be difficult to see what it was if he didn't brush it well.

"Why don't you get some water to clean it? How long has it been since you swept the dust?"

"Let me see! When Granny Tai was alive, she used to install needles and thread in her hometown. " Deng Jingu took the box to the chest of drawers and put it away. He thought Lin Anxin was right. The ashes on the top of the box were caked, and the wet cloth might not be able to clean it.

He quickly went to the well to draw water and found a coarse cloth towel. Then he went into the room, put the wooden basin with water on the ground, picked up the round box and put it in the basin.

"It looks like a soup maker." Lin Anxin felt that it was more a soup pot with a porcelain lid than a box.
