Other than providing food for his family, Liu Wanggui only provided around fifty kilograms of rice or fifty kilograms of grain. The cost of writing on thirty mu of land was huge.

In fact, Liu Qi had silver coins on hand. Even if the thirty mu of land was enough for her family to spend and the ten mu of ramie, after paying taxes, it would still be worth nine taels of silver. Adding to that, she could always find three to four taels of silver a year.

"You got pregnant again?" "Mother, in the past, only Childrens studied, but now we have Bao`er as well. Fortunately, he is still young and the expenses are slightly lower, but son has to make many plans for Zhu'er's dowry."

"Why can't I feed him? Even if you don't have a big belly, it's just a matter of doing some housework and eating some bran. It's just a matter of adding two spoonfuls of water. "

Liu Sangui had never fought with Liu Qi before, so he was used to being honest. Therefore, obedient children were always trash in battle.

These words were like adding oil to a fire. Liu Qi slapped his hand on the brick bed and said angrily, "Why, are mother's words useless? You think that your mother is too old to control her? "

"Mom, that's not what we meant." Liu Sanguan was extremely anxious in his heart. He wanted to say that his wife was very diligent, but Liu Qi wouldn't give him the chance to explain.

"Why doesn't that mean? It means that Chun Xiang still needs to drink his milk, doesn't that mean there's still Qiu Xiang and Dao Xiang? Qiu Xiang helped the assistant, and Chun Xiang was brought along by Dao Xiang. "

Liu Qi didn't even give Liu Dafu a chance to speak before making this decision. Seeing that Liu Sanguan was unconvinced, she said, "What, it's only a few money losers, are you not happy about this? Aren't you letting Gui Hua take care of her body? Furthermore, Qiu Xiang was already 10 years old and Dao Xiang was 8 years old, how could he not help with things at home? Which family in the village didn't come over like this? They were paying for money on both sides of the road, and they didn't want them to do any more work for their family before going out? You still want to live here for free? "

"Mother, why did they live here for nothing? Isn't my son always carrying the burden of the family? " Liu Sanguan's thoughts changed. He felt that after taking care of thirty acres of land every year, he still had to take care of ten mu of dry land. No matter what, he could support her three daughters: "Furthermore, Qiu Xiang and Dao Xiang have always been helping them with things."

"Hmph, if you hadn't married a money loser, how would you have ended up like this? The big one is not big, and the small one is still in the cradle. The family has dozens of mouths, which one of them doesn't want to eat it? If her family didn't dig up the gift, I wouldn't be so angry, you really are an unfilial child, raising you to this age is a waste. "

When Mrs Liu Qi saw that Liu Sangui was getting angrier and angrier, she turned her attention back to Zhang Guihua's wedding gift.

In the past, as a rich person in the village, Liu Qi was able to come up with more gifts, but the Zhang family was really poor, and that gift was even cheaper than buying a girl. She held the thought that the Zhang family had no one to bully, and it just so happened that she could use this gift to bully Zhang Guihua, as compared to her daughter-in-law from the other two families, Zhang Guihua was indeed lacking in confidence after marrying into their family.

As he spoke of the betrothal gift, Liu Sangui was instantly defeated. He didn't know what to say.

It was just that when he thought about how Liu Zhisheng not studying had caused his family to have a difficult year ahead of them, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Without waiting for him to refute anything, Liu Dafu yawned and sloppily placed the dry straw in his hands on the brick bed, then said: "Alright, it's getting late, you guys go back to your rooms earlier. Ol 'Three, your family's work is more difficult, if Sheng'er and Ol' Four manage to become Elementary Scholars, not only will the two of them not have to give food, they can also reduce the taxes on their family's land by half.

Liu Sanguan was not convinced, but his parents had already said so. Moreover, with only his son at home, it wasn't their place to do things. How could they ask another couple to do it?

Liu Rengui was very satisfied with the result: "That's right, Old Third, it's been hard on you all, when Childrens becomes powerful in the future, she will not forget about you third uncle, furthermore, Zhu'er has been spoiled bad by her grandmother, if she really comes back to help, my brother-in-law's family will probably come here with a Pig Slaughtering Knife."

He dared to say those words because all of the Sun family's sister-in-law's sons and daughters were brought along. However, there were a lot of them at home, and they began to cherish their daughters once again. Therefore, every time Liu Zhuer returned to the village, the Sun family would send someone to bring the Sun family over to stay for a short while.

Liu Sanguan clearly knew that this matter was not good, but he couldn't think of a way to stop it, so he held his breath and returned to the West Side Room.

No one would have thought that after he left, it would be near midnight. Liu Dao Xiang had already slept soundly on the edge of the brick bed, so they could vaguely hear someone calling her.

She struggled to open her eyes and saw Liu Sangui shaking her. She quickly called out to her father.

"Riiiiip!" A light shone in the darkness.

So it was Zhang Guihua who lit the only lamp in the house. To be honest, she was very nervous when Liu Sangui didn't return.

"What time is it? Your child's father, why is your expression so ugly? "Father, he..." Her face was also tinged with worry, and her heart thumped once more. Something must have happened to her.

It was only then that Liu Dao Xiang saw the situation clearly. Liu Sangui's face did not look good: "Father, what's going on?"

Liu Qiuxiang also woke up, she crawled up from the brick bed and looked at him with her black eyeballs.

Liu Sangui didn't know where to start. Seeing that the whole family was up, if he didn't tell them, they might not even be able to sleep soundly. He simply took off his shoes and squeezed onto the girls' kang to warm his body.

Then he told her what had happened in the house.

Liu Dao Xiang was so angry that white smoke was coming out of her nose, how can she do that? She treated her family as ordinary people, she could pinch them however she wanted.

Liu Sanguan hit his head with his hand. He was already saying that he was in a bad mood. So this was the problem, but unfortunately, he didn't think of it at the time.

"This matter that your master set was only a matter of this year's matters to Sheng'er. As for next year, didn't Your Milk say that? "Next year, feed a few more pigs, and pay for it with silver from the pigs. It will only be considered as a subsidy and not ten silver anymore. It will only be this time."

He didn't want to see such an outcome, but his parents stopped him from objecting.

Liu Dao Xiang snorted: "Father, it's not like milk is cheap, why don't you think about letting us have a good meal and get dressed properly? "Besides, ten taels of silver is not a small sum. Furthermore, my sister and I did not even know what the taste of sugar was a month ago. Why is it that grandpa's milk tastes so biased? Why do I feel like you're not my biological father?"

It was as if she had randomly picked it up, only that Liu Dao Xiang did not dare to say it out loud, as for the truth of the matter, she would slowly investigate it thoroughly.

Zhang Guihua was also angry, and said, "That's right. This is what I said. Your mother has never treated you as her son. Look, what has she done besides telling you to do things all year round? Did I give you a penny? Even our family got the five hundred yuan from you, but Uncle only wrote a book, so ten taels of silver is enough for us to eat and drink for a few years. "

"That's why I said, horse is not fat. Dad, you should be more considerate in the future. If you have nothing to do with hunting, why don't you hide it or ask Third Aunt to help you sell it. What do you think?" Liu Dao Xiang knew that the matter that Mrs Liu Qi had set would not be changed, but she was still very unwilling. Liu Qi had already made up her mind to let Liu Qiuxiang feed the pigs next year, and she, herself, would become a little sister.

It wasn't that she didn't like her family's cheap little sister, but she was angry at Liu Qi for ordering her family around.

Liu Dao Xiang saw him lower her head in silence, she did not know what was going through his mind, and guessed that she was not feeling well either.

"My daughter, your father knows that you feel terrible in your heart, but in the end, you are still a human being. Your uncle sent a letter saying that if your father and mother were to continue studying in Sheng'er, they would not want this third child."
