Chapter 25 25. Respect the Money

That day's talk had already reached that point, and none of Yan's family members were willing to help, fearing being judged, they didn't leave the house for several days.

The discussion of the villagers did not affect Su Yao. After the adobe was dried and the stones were moved enough, and the grass roots were combined, the construction officially started.

It took two weeks for Su Yao to surround the courtyard wall by himself. Although it looked ugly, he also had a willing look.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Su Yao is not going out anymore, and the cat has started to spend the winter at home.

When Yan Shoucheng came back, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and the village had just finished the first snowfall.

When Su Yaowo was roasting sweet potatoes at home, Yan Shoucheng came in dressed in snow, with bags of things in his hands.

"I'm back", after Su Yao helped to pick up the things, he took a broom and swept the snow off his body.

The tip of Yan Shoucheng's nose was a little red, and the scarf was covered with icicles. He took off his gloves and put them on the lid of the pot to warm him up: "The oily paper bag on the top contains mung bean cakes. Last time I saw that you ate the most, I gave it to you again." You bought some."

Hearing this, Su Yao opened the oil-paper bag on top, pinched a piece in her mouth, a sweet taste filled her mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Next time you go to the city, see if you can buy mung beans I’ll plant some mung beans, and it’s cheaper to make mung bean cakes by myself.”

"Have you prepared all the necessities for the New Year?" Su Yao rummaged through all the things Yan Shoucheng brought back, not knowing where Yan Shoucheng got the money from. The necessities for the New Year are all ready, so he doesn't have to go to town again Ran.

"Well, it's cold, and it's not convenient to go out." Yan Shoucheng took out a yellow paper bag from the inner pocket of his clothes, which contained the tickets and money he had saved for half a year, and gave them all to Su Yao.

Su Yao picked it up, but didn't take all of them away. He took out some that could be used in daily life, and gave them back to Yan Shoucheng: "A man is away from home, so he can't be without a penny. These are enough at home."

Yan Shoucheng was a little dazed. When he went home before, Wang Hongying took as much as he had, and even complained. The family had a hard time and there was nothing enough.

After Su Yao stuffed the ticket into Yan Shoucheng's hand, he asked, "What do you want for lunch, I'll make it for you."

As soon as the words were spoken, Wang Hongying's voice was heard at the door: "Second brother, open the door, I'll bring you pimple soup."

It was a door that was randomly tied with a few sticks, and it was not locked. Wang Hongying pushed it into the yard without waiting for the people in the house to respond.

Yan Shoucheng frowned, and when he got up, he explained to Su Yao: "When I go home, I will pass by the door, I guess I happened to see me."

Su Yao stuffed the last bite of sweet potato into her mouth, and Wang Hongying also entered the house, with a big stupid bowl in the cloth bag in her hand.

There is no table in the room, and Su Yao has no spare money to buy it. Usually, meals are eaten around the stove. After Wang Hongying took out the big stupid bowl, she urged Yan Shoucheng: "As soon as I make a pot, I will pack it for you. I brought it here, it’s cold now, you can drink it while it’s hot.”

After seeing Yan Shoucheng drinking obediently, Wang Hongying continued: "You see, it's better to be with you. You suffered from the cold along the way, and you couldn't even eat a warm meal when you got home. It was also suffering."

Su Yao pursed her lips and turned to eat her mung bean cake.

Wang Hongying was also sharp-eyed, so she saw it at a glance and snatched it up: "My son bought these for me. What do you eat? Old cows can't eat chaff. What good food can you eat?"

Wang Hongying's action was so sudden that Su Yao was so choked that he couldn't help coughing.

Yan Shoucheng put down the bowl and chopsticks, and helped Su Yao calm down: "Mother, I bought this for Su Yao, and the one for you is stored there. I think I will bring it to you when I see you." .”

After Wang Hongying heard this, she didn't put down the mung bean cake she snatched from her hand, but packed it carefully: "There are many children in the family, so I will share this with the children. They are all so big, how can they snatch the children?" to eat."

Su Yao calmed down, and took back his mung bean cake: "I'm afraid the children won't be able to eat it, so you won't share your portion. Why can't I eat the things my man bought?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you will choke to death sooner or later", Wang Hongying was a little angry, but thinking of her purpose today, she just said something unforgiving.

Yan Shoucheng felt the difficulty of being caught in front of his wife and mother, and took a deep breath: "Mom, the children want to eat, and there are their parents, so I don't care."

After twisting Yan Shoucheng's arm, Wang Hongying talked about the difficulties at home: "They are all my nephews and nieces, what's wrong with eating something from you? I think back then, when you were just born, my father and I were busy Going to the field, your elder brother can’t walk well by himself, so he has to take you with him. You watched the fourth and sixth children grow up, and their children are your children, so why care about so much. Things you brought home before , will also give a share to the children, now that he is married to a daughter-in-law, he is a heretic, did Su Yao secretly provoke him again?"

Every time she talked about family affairs, Wang Hongying said it as if she owed her brothers a lot of kindness. Many times, Yan Shoucheng had an inexplicable fear of the family, and always felt that she had shouldered too much.Familiar words echoed in his ears, and Yan Shoucheng remained silent.

Seeing the interaction between mother and son, Su Yao couldn't help clicking her tongue. In the words of later generations, this is PUA.

Unpacking the mung bean cake by himself, Su Yao ate a piece, and spoke for Yan Shoucheng: "Whoever's child is in charge, if you want us to raise it, it's not impossible. From now on, I will call my mother and Yan Shoucheng Dad will do."

"In the past, we used to have a big pot of rice, and we shared everything together. Now that the family is separated, Shoucheng buys something, but I don't have to wait for me to eat first. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to bear it. Whoever asks you to split up is also agreed to by you. .”

"Don't always say that the family loves Shoucheng. If you really treat Yan Shoucheng as your heart and soul, the fourth son should have been a soldier. Why did you let Shoucheng go? It's not because you feel sorry for your fourth son. When I circled the courtyard wall this year , your family has even shown your face in the theater, how can you have the face to ask us to treat you well now."

"You don't need to put eye drops on Shoucheng. I said it myself. In the past, no one cared about Yan Shoucheng, and you squeezed it out. Now I am his wife, and I am in pain. I have to agree to everything at home, including food and clothing. , as long as I don’t agree, you don’t even want to take a single needle or thread away.”

Yan Shoucheng listened to the words without saying a word, Wang Hongying's face turned blue with anger: "Okay, from now on it will be yours, my old Yan's family doesn't care much about it, but this year is coming to an end, I have to give some money for filial piety."
