Chapter 74 Giving Materials
Seeing that Yang Lao Er looked like he was more sad than heartbroken, Mrs. Li hurriedly went out to question her two granddaughters. Under the identification of the two granddaughters, Ms. Li made a summary of the things that Mrs. Qian had pawned, including a winter quilt. Two winter clothes, a raincoat, and thirty kilograms of grain.
It is said that a broken home is worth thousands of dollars, and even a broken bowl is a treasure. In the eyes of Mrs. Li, so many things are a huge sum of money, worth the weight of the sky. She continued to cross-examine angrily, "What did Mr. Qian do when he pawned so many things? Say it quickly!”
Yang Daya hesitated, his eyes flickering, but Yang Erya did it happily and said directly: "Aniang used it to exchange money for grandma. She secretly saves money for grandma every year, saying it is for my cousin to study, so that my cousin will be successful. You won’t forget us.”
Li's brain exploded with a bang. She felt like the world was spinning and she couldn't even stand steady.
Jiang Ning and Zhou were so frightened that they hurried over to help him.
Li Shi regained her composure and looked at Yang Lao Er's house, "Lao Er, do you know what Qian did?"
There was no sound in the room, and Mrs. Li understood that Yang Laoer was aware of what Qian had done. Now Mrs. Li didn't know how to face the two daughters-in-law in front of her. In the past, the family had not been divided, and the family property was owned by the public. Yes, what the second wife did was equivalent to using everyone's money to subsidize the Qian family. How was she going to explain to the eldest family and the third family?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She rushed into the house and beat and scolded Yang Laoer, "I have worked hard to raise you two, and your elder brother has gone astray for the sake of this family. He is indeed good at everything." Well, it’s not even good for your own mother-in-law, but it’s not bad for your younger brother! It’s all because of your eldest brother that you were able to marry when you grew up. Strictly speaking, half of the land at home was bought by your eldest brother.
And the second child, since you married Qian's house-wrecker, most of the work in the house has fallen on him. Qian will have objections if you do more, and the third child can only take it silently. He has suffered for so many years. Don’t you know the grievance?
How did you treat them? You even teamed up with Mr. Qian to calculate the family's money. Are you still a human being? "
Yang Laoer let Mr. Li beat and scold him, crying and patting his head guiltily, "I'm not a thing, I'm not a thing, I'm sorry to my father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, younger brother and younger sister, I'm not a human being, I'm not a human being "
Seeing how he collapsed, Mrs. Li also burst into tears.
Jiang Ning was not happy, but she had never suffered a loss since she came here, and she even kept the second room in a miserable condition. Now that they were all like this, she had nothing to worry about, so she immediately gave Zhou a wink.
Zhou went into the house to persuade Li.
Jiang Ning and the Yang Daya sisters said: "Based on the attitude of your maternal grandfather's family towards you, even if your cousin is really prosperous, you will not be able to take advantage of it, and he might even cause trouble. Be more careful in the future. Don't worry." I have been tricked by the Qian family again. I still have some materials left over there. You can go back with me to get them and ask your grandma to make you two sets of clothes."
As he said that, Jiang Ning walked out of the yard without looking back.
The Yang Daya sisters looked at each other in shock, then recovered and hurriedly followed.
It was the first time for the two of them to return to Jiang Ning's house. When they saw the spacious and bright rows of tile-roofed houses, they could not hide their envy. Especially when they saw that the floor in the house was cleaner than their shoes, neither of them dared to go in.
Yang Xiaoya ran out excitedly when she heard the sound. When she saw it was Yang Daya and Yang Erya, her smile suddenly froze and she shouted, "Third brother and fourth brother, come here quickly!"
Yang Santie and Yang Sizhuang heard the sound and ran over in a hurry, looking at the Yang Daya sisters with eager eyes.
"Why is it you again? Do you still want to fight?" Yang Santie stared at them fiercely, with old and new hatreds rushing into his heart, and rolled up his sleeves to fight. Jiang Ning came out of the house with the ingredients and shouted: "Yang Santie, are you itchy?"
Yang Santie saw Jiang Ning coming out and immediately put down his sleeves with a playful smile, "Mom, what are you doing with the materials?"
Jiang Ning ignored him, but put the materials in the basket and handed it to Yang Daya, "There are two more clothes here, which are for your grandma and grandma. The materials are placed on top, so that your grandma can watch and make them. It’s getting late, go back quickly.”
“Thank you, uncle!” Yang Daya and Yang Erya said loudly in unison.
Yang Santie and the others looked like they had seen a ghost and thought they were hallucinating.
Jiang Ning waved his hand, not taking it seriously, "Let's go."
After the Yang Daya sisters left, the three younger ones immediately gathered around Jiang Ning and asked questions.
“Aniang, did the sun come out from the west today? Yang Daya and Yang Erya actually thanked you. It’s really eye-opening!” Yang Santie’s expression was very complimentary.
Jiang Ning smiled and scolded him, patted him lightly, and told the three children what happened in the west of the village.
Yang Xiaoya had a look of sympathy on her face, "It's so pitiful for you to be rich and wealthy, but fortunately I am your grandma's child and not your second uncle's!"
Yang Santie and Yang Sizhuang nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ning was amused and laughed again, "Okay! Things over there have nothing to do with us. You see, although our house is finished, the floor of the thatched hut has not been leveled yet. You guys have nothing to do these days. Help me with the work! Let's go to the mountains and bring back some sweet-scented osmanthus trees, peach trees, persimmon trees and the like, and plant them in a row on the west side.
Aniang also plans to ask a mason to make a stone mortar and stone mill to put in the yard, which will be often used for making food in the future. Then she will plant a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the yard and cover the ground with floor tiles. In case it gets too hot in the summer, we can still You can sleep on a straw mat in the yard. "
Previously, Jiang Ning thought about getting some turf in the yard and planting some flowers and plants. Later, he found that doing so would attract mosquitoes to his home, which made him unable to survive, so he had to give up those unrealistic ideas.
Laying floor tiles in the courtyard was not an easy task. Paving such a large area with floor tiles was a big project. She didn't want to delay Yang Erdan's work, so she could only watch and do it slowly by herself.
Mother and son went out with their backpacks on their backs. In autumn, the mountains are full of gifts from nature, such as wild persimmons, pyracantha, jujubes, wild kiwis, wild chestnuts, acorns, mushrooms, sorghum pickles, red nan, etc., black and red. There are green, yellow, blue, purple, all kinds of fruits. Most of them are bunches of small fruits. The sweet ones have many seeds, while the ones with few seeds are a little sour.
What people in the village often pick are wild persimmons and wild kiwis. For example, they usually bring some of the wild persimmons and pyracantha back home. During the off-season, they can eat something sweet. The villagers also pick wild chestnuts and acorns. After all, they are delicious after being boiled. It can be used as food, but it is a bit difficult to eat. The quantity that everyone can pick up is limited. Unless the family really can't open the pot, they will stock up in large quantities for the winter.
In Jiang Ning’s eyes, their actions were simply a waste of natural resources and he couldn’t bear it.
