Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Stealing lucky money
The familiar faces of the old Yang family were naturally not the focus of Yang Ruoqing's attention. Everyone looked up and looked down every day.

At this moment, her eyes swept across the crowd, but she was actually looking for Yang Yongqing and the supposedly silly woman brought back by Yang Yongqing.

In the end, after a lap, she didn't see anything, which surprised Yang Ruoqing a little.

Could it be that Old Yang and Mrs. Tan were dissatisfied and were forced to send them away under strong pressure?
But Yang Ruoqing didn't ask, because Liao Meiying had brought hot tea to her on a tray.

"Qing'er, drink tea." Liao Meiying said with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw that Yang Huazhong and Luo Fengtang were there, now it was her turn, and there were still several bowls of tea on the tray, probably for Da'an, Xiaohua, Xiaoan and the others.

Yang Ruoqing quickly stood up, took a bowl of tea from the tray, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

This year, old Yangtou and Mrs. Tan are celebrating the New Year with Dafang.

This is the third time for Lao Yangtou and Tan's old couple to celebrate the New Year with Dafang in so many years.

The first two times were the year Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer entered the house, after that, Lao Yangtou and Mrs. Tan never celebrated the New Year in Dafang again.

In Tan's words, the eldest daughter-in-law of the big house, Jin, is deaf-mute and stupid, and she can't even cook a meal by herself, let alone preside over the overall situation during a special festival like the Chinese New Year.

The head of the long house, Sun Yang Yongxian, is also alone, and he has to go to Yang Yongjin or Yang Yongzhi's house for meals during New Years Eve. The long house lacks a daughter-in-law who can preside over the overall situation.

This year is different, Yang Yongxian, as the grandson of the head of the house, finally married Liao Meiying, the daughter-in-law of the head of the house, so Lao Yangtou and Tan's twelfth lunar month announced that this year's Chinese New Year will be at Lao Yang's house.

Several other houses came to give them New Year greetings, including Yang Huamei's return to her mother's house in the first month, etc., were received by the long house Yang Yongxian and Liao Meiying.

So Yang Ruoqing was not surprised to see her sister-in-law Liao Meiying bringing tea in person, she took the tea generously, thanked her, and sat down to listen to the gossip of the elders, saying some auspicious words related to the Chinese New Year.

After a while, others left one after another.

The first one to leave was Yang Huaming, who gave the reason that his feet were cold and he wanted to go back to the house to soak his feet in hot water.

Mrs. Liu said with a half smile but not a smile: "Oh Father He'er, are you really going to soak your feet here, are you thinking about gambling with some people in the village?"

Yang Huaming glared at Mrs. Liu: "It's Chinese New Year, what are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. During the day, you went to the mountains to worship your ancestors and burn incense. At the top of the mountain, you met a few of your cronies in the village. They all made an appointment to gamble at night."

"How do you know? That's not the case!" Yang Huaming was still arguing.

However, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Lao Yangtou and Tan's side, feeling a little guilty.

"How do I know? Of course I know. Don't quibble. If you want to gamble, just gamble. Why do you need an excuse to soak your feet?" Liu went on to make trouble.

Yang Huaming gritted his teeth angrily, "Boy Kang said that, right? No wonder he sneaked behind my ass when I went to pee, so it was you who instigated it!"

Mrs. Liu smiled, "I don't have that spare time to instigate him to eavesdrop on you? It's because my son is old and sensible, and he was frightened when he heard that you were going to gamble with others. I'm afraid that you will lose yourself like in previous years." With the money on my body, I didn’t dare to go to Xiaojuan and Goudan’s house to get money, so I ran to our girls’ house to steal Sanya and Goudan’s lucky money!”

Yang Huaming became anxious, and his voice became rough: "When did I steal the children's lucky money to gamble? In front of everyone in this room, don't talk nonsense like a red-mouthed and white-toothed woman!"

As he spoke loudly, he stared at Mrs. Liu, his eyes full of threats.

"If it weren't for the New Year's Eve tonight, I would definitely beat you, a woman who talks nonsense, with my violent temper!" Wei Wei proved that he was framed, and Yang Huaming added.

Humming in her nose, Liu sat there with her legs crossed and sneered.

"What's the matter with your irritable temper? Is it reasonable to steal the children's New Year's money? Shameless? Even if you beat me to death, the matter of you stealing the two children's New Year's money to gamble is still there. If you don't believe me, go shout Sanya and Kang Xiaozi came in, they met with their own eyes last year..."

Old Yang Tou picked up the tobacco stick in his hand and gently tilted the corner of the table, saying: "The fourth daughter-in-law, it's New Year's Eve, say something auspicious, don't say those dead and alive, it's not good!"

"Oh, I was wrong, I listened to my father, I will shut up and not say anything, everyone is happy." Liu raised his hands and wished everyone a new year, and then sat there with a smile.

Yang Huaming was so angry that his cheeks were red, and he stood there awkwardly, neither leaving nor staying.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to go, but just as he raised his foot, Old Yang's voice came from behind him.

"Where are you going?" the old man asked.

Yang Huaming turned his head and smiled at Old Yang: "I'm holding back my urine after drinking too much tea, let's solve it."

Old Yang Touhu turned down his face and said, "Are you going to gamble with your cronies?"

Yang Huaming said: "What kind of fox friends, those are my little ones, we grew up in the muddy ditch together when we were young!"

"You guys are all bastards and bastards. Our Changping Village and the surrounding villages are the laziest, with the worst life, and they are the ones with the most debts!" ​​Old Yang said. Said unceremoniously.

"I'll stay at home to watch the New Year's Eve, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Old Yang said again.

Yang Huaming's face immediately collapsed, and the last bit of joy and smile on his face disappeared.

Standing there, the whole person is as mournful as a concubine.

Old Yang said: "Gambling money itself is bad, and stealing children's lucky money to gamble is even more bad."

"I don't, Liu's blind comparison!" Yang Huaming said angrily.

"I swear, do you dare?" Liu said again.

Yang Huaming looked at Liu Shi with resentment, wishing he could swallow Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu is now an old fried dough stick, and she is not afraid at all.

"Don't you dare?" she asked again.

Yang Huaming gritted his teeth.

Old Yang said: "Okay, okay, it's Chinese New Year, fourth daughter-in-law, please don't say a few words."

"How much New Year's money he took from the children, you will tell me the number later, and your mother and I will make up for it later, and this matter will be over. Don't cling to it when it's Chinese New Year."

Hearing that there was money to make up for it, Mrs. Liu immediately beamed with joy, said nothing, and sat back happily.

And Tan, who had been silent all this time, also spoke when he heard that he needed to make up the money.

"Why do you make up for it? How much money does this man spend on playing cards during the Chinese New Year? You have to stop this daughter-in-law? The fourth wife is the breadwinner of the family. The fourth daughter-in-law and your mother eat and drink, what kind of shit?" Isn’t it raised by our fourth child?”

"The new year's money for the children is also earned by our fourth child. There is no need for the children to collect the money. Let the fourth child use it to break the law? The children themselves didn't say that they shouldn't, just you, a mother, Why do you have the heart to control an old man so tightly?"
