This is the fourth day that Lin Anxin was sent to the Su family.
Deng Jinchai took Lin Anxin back to her mother-in-law's house for a long time that day. She always felt that she was not sure about her mother's temperament. How could she be a daughter?
On this day, she couldn't stay at home any longer. At the same time, little fish was clamoring to go out to play. It didn't matter. She told her to hear that her parents were making their own decisions and sent her sister-in-law to the Su family.
Deng Jinchai suddenly felt dizzy and black. She almost fell down with her little fish in her arms. A daughter-in-law, who was still talking, reached out and pulled her. Seeing that she didn't look good, she rushed her back to her mother-in-law's house to have a rest.
Lin Anxin's mother heard a noise in the room and groped for it to come out of the kitchen. She called Deng Jinchai.
Deng Jinchai answered. She only said that she had some pain in her head and wanted to lie down for a while. She was afraid that Lin Qingshan would get angry when she knew about it. She was even more afraid that Lin Qingshan would send her back to her mother's home in a rage. How could she survive?
She thought about it in the room, and finally decided to go to her mother's house to make a scene before Lin Qingshan and his son came back. At least she should let Lin Qingshan know that she didn't know in advance.
When she went to Shangtang village, Deng Dalang was sitting in the yard where Lin Anxin used to lie. He was talking with Ji Chunhua. Ji Chunhua was shaking with a dustpan, which contained some sesame seeds with broken shells. When she bumped, the broken shells came out a lot, and after a fine screening, they were also clean.
She wanted to ask Deng Dalang to help. Looking at his listless appearance, she gave up the idea. While she was bumping a dustpan, she was chatting with him: "this year's world is really more difficult than in previous years. In the past, there were few sesame growers, but this year there are many more. Even on the side of some ridges, roadsides and ditches, there are sesame growers. This year's price is high I'm afraid it's not as good as before. "
Deng Dalang lay there with his eyes closed. The soft wind in autumn made him feel comfortable to the bone. He regretted that he didn't find such a good place earlier, but it was much more comfortable than the stuffy and hot room. No wonder the little girl who was canonized preferred to lie here.
He was angry and jealous, but Lin Anxin had already been canonized to the Su family. He was so unwilling, but he had nothing to do with her.
"Well, don't worry about it. Life will get better. Yesterday, the village head came over and told me about the land increase. Jinling bought that mu of dry land for her first."
Deng Dalang thought that if he bought it, he would have three acres of dry land in his family. He could make some money, twelve Liang. He had to buy some land from home.
"there are still many more. If we add a few acres to our house, the village head will not agree to change your household registration to a registered residence." When Ji Chunhua said this, she thought that last night, the two chicks she secretly asked the village head to carry back had just begun to lay eggs. She was very distressed.
Compared with the lazy old chick who doesn't like to lay eggs, the chick who just started laying eggs is more attractive. It's accurate every day, and one can be picked up every day.
Ji Chunhua didn't want to give it, but the village head was always vague. He didn't say "should" or "shouldn't". He always held her in charge with words. However, Deng Dalang had to tell Ji Chunhua to catch two chicks and give them to the village head. Then the village head was relieved to answer the question.
Deng Dalang is very proud in his heart. Even if his legs don't work well, he is still the head of the family. Ji Chunhua, the evil woman, still has to listen to him.
After listening to Ji Chunhua's words, he thought about it a little, and then said, "I have to handle it carefully. I have to think more about the golden drum and the golden lock. I'm sure I want to buy it." Otherwise, why did he ask the village head for a long time?
I just want the Deng family to be more prosperous.
Thinking of this, he said, "Chunhua, I have to tell you something!"
"What's the matter?" Ji Chunhua scoops the good sesame seeds into the fine sieve, and then picks up the sieve. It's a job that needs strength. In the past, it was all done by Deng Dalang, but now he is injured and can't do such a job. Ji Chunhua can't help but think about Lin Anxin: "oh, if only Si Ya were here. In previous years, she could help a lot."
Deng Dalang was very happy. Just as he wanted to say something, his mother-in-law handed over the pillow.
"I don't think we should plant sesame next year."
"What's the matter? Our family is no better than before. Although the golden drum has taken over the business, the golden lock is still small. You have to take medicine, which requires a lot of money." Ji Chunhua is sad when she mentions it.
I have to pay back the money owed to the Zhou family. After 12 liang of silver is paid back, there is not much money left. I have to buy land and chew it at home.
Deng Dalang said with a smile, "I'll tell you something. I've thought about it. You're my mother-in-law. You're a woman. I can't ask you to support this family. Besides, I really want you to be too tired."
Ji Chunhua's life is good. She used to be supported by her mother-in-law. Later, when her eldest daughter got older, someone helped her. The eldest daughter got married and came back with a younger one. Although she can't do too much heavy work, she can also help her. It's so easy to raise her to nine years old. She can be an adult. Unexpectedly, her husband hurt her leg and had to give the child's daughter-in-law a gift.
These days, Ji Chunhua is very busy. She is really too tired to stretch her waist."It's good that you have this heart. I'm really tired and can't bear it. If my cousin's family were not in a hurry to use money, how could I be willing to pawn Siya."
"No, I just see that you've lost a lot of weight these days. I'm sorry. There's one thing I haven't mentioned to you." When Deng Dalang said this, he took a look at Ji Chunhua and saw that she stretched out her hand and beat her waist. It must be that she was tired of bumping things.
"How painful is it?"
"Well!" Ji Chunhua wants to get angry and quit her job, but she is a mother and a mother-in-law. The old and young are waiting for her.
Deng Dalang sighed, and then said, "last time Jinling came back, he mentioned one thing with me, that is, your cousin wanted to marry us."
"Didn't you say that? But how can she really take a fancy to my golden drum? Even if she takes a fancy to my cousin, she will agree? " Ji Chunhua doesn't believe it.
"You hear me out!" Deng Dalang said: "your cousin has added another four acres of dry land to the project. It's a matter of certainty. It's also because he has added this land that he can't raise money and ask for debts. I don't want you to be too tired, so I thought, maybe we can get together secretly with your cousin."
If change before, Ji Chunhua certainly won't agree, but these days, she manages inside and outside by herself, has pressed her out of breath.
"Will our golden drum agree?" Mentioning this, she was very moved and worried, and said, "when Huizi mentioned this, you were not hurt. Our family is not as good as before. Will my cousin's family agree?"
"Why don't you agree? By the way, I forgot to tell you something. My cousin came to see me earlier and mentioned the debt. Because he couldn't wait, he went to ask his eldest son-in-law to borrow eight liang of silver from him and bought the two acres of paddy fields." Deng Dalang didn't believe that Zhou Changgen had no money on hand.
But he can't say this with Ji Chunhua. It's hard for him to be forced into debt. At this time, he just wants the Deng family to prosper.
If you have money, who will pay attention to those who like to dress up in the Zhou family.
"What?" Ji Chunhua's action of sifting sesame seeds has also made her voice a lot better.
Why does she feel so angry!
"Come on, why are you shouting so loud? Isn't that a good thing?" Deng Dalang waved impatiently.
Ji Chunhua quit, pointed to Deng Dalang and said, "Dalang, why don't you tell him that it's not really done. We have already given that girl to He just came to talk about it. What did he do earlier? "
Deng Dalang frowned slightly. To tell the truth, he didn't like Ji Chunhua's temper, but Ji Chunhua had two sons, which gave him a long face. Deng Dalang was willing to spoil her.
"Isn't it a rush? Don't he also love you as a cousin? That day, after he was a witness and went back, he went to the town to find his eldest son-in-law. I don't know when I can recover my leg and use it there. After passing this pass, he kindly came to tell us that I don't have to pay the debt for the time being. What are you angry with? "
Ji Chunhua can't answer such a question, but she thinks she should be angry.
"Why don't we take Siya back? Have you refunded that money? "
"I've thought about that, too. But I've thought about it. How can we easily go back on the deed? Su Yangjiang is a famous figure in our town. We can offend him?" Looking at Ji Chunhua's face, Deng Dalang said, "I've thought about it. I can't go back on it. How about, as your cousin said, let's leave some money for turnover and buy some property?"
Buying land? In the future, Ji Chunhua's family will really have an industry, which makes her self-confidence burst. Compared with the tenants, the farmers with land will be just like the difference between the landlords and ordinary farmers.
Deng Dalang saw that she was moved. Sure enough, his calculation was correct. Ji Chunhua had never suffered so much in her life, but she couldn't stand it in a few days.
"If you think about it, the girl is still small, and she can't live in a round house now. At most, she works as a girl in that family. Besides, I've inquired about it for a long time. The Su family has invited an old lady to do housework. No matter how tired she is, she's no better than in our family. She's enjoying a happy life there. We've got money to buy some property, but what's wrong with passing it on to future generations."
Deng Dalang's words are very reasonable. In this way, Lin Anxin doesn't have to be too tired and can keep fit. The Deng family may also take this opportunity to prosper.
Ji Chunhua doesn't move. It's fake. The child is the meat that falls from her body. She loves her child more than anyone else.
She also thought of Deng Jinling's sufferings in the town, and her big daughter's tearful and reluctant appearance before she was sent to the Lin family. Ji Chunhua finally closed her eyes and said for a long time, "well, with the property, our life will only be more and more prosperous. It's hard to say that life at home is better and we can get Siya back earlier."
