Pastoral affairs

That Cui Shifu seemed to have thought of an idea, he couldn't sit still immediately, he got up quickly and said: "Then I will go back and discuss with your mother..."

"Only one thing, Dad, you can't borrow that loan shark. If you borrow that money to become an official, you might as well not do it. You will be chased by others, and you won't be able to earn enough to pay back the interest." Although Cui Wei thought [-]% I am sure that Cui Jingzhong will not return Cui Shifu's money in the end, but seeing that Cui Shifu is determined to fulfill his son's wish, he does not persuade him anymore, but it is to let him keep his mind, Cui Shifu hesitated, nodded and went back. That night, I went to Cui Shicai's side with Yang Shi.

In the early morning of the next day, I heard that Cui Shifu and his wife had borrowed money from the Lin family. Cui Jingzhong didn't even stay for the celebration banquet that the Yang family wanted to throw for him, so he hurried away with the money.These hearings, Cui Wei naturally heard what Cui Jingping said. These days, Cui’s family eats meat every day. Like meat, Yang may hide this news from others, but of course he will not hide it from his son.

Cui Jingzhong took the money and left, but there was no news for several days. Cui's family also killed pigs and hired people. It was lively for a few days. Except for people in the village who were talking about it, Yang's Thinking of his foreign debt of five taels of silver, he became a little uneasy after all.She borrowed the money from her mother-in-law Lin, and now Lin lives with her sister-in-law Liu, and now that Liu and her are torn apart, if there is any good or bad in the future, I am afraid that the two sides will have to worry about it The silver thing fell out.At the beginning, Mrs. Yang was coaxed by Cui Jingzhong's few words, and she wanted to do it for her son's own good, so she went to borrow it once, but until now no news has come back, and she doesn't know whether the matter has been completed or not. The money must be returned after all, otherwise the Liu family will make trouble in the future, what should the family do?

The Double Ninth Festival has just passed a few days.Before mid-September, Cui Jingzhong came back, and he was different immediately after this trip. I heard that even the clothes he wore were replaced with satin that cost tens of pennies. It seemed that everyone in the village said that Cui Jingzhong was promising.In the evening, when Cui Wei had just cooked and was about to cook, there was a knock on the door outside, and the black back was barking loudly in the yard. Cui Wei told it to shut up, and opened the door.I saw Yang carrying two bowls and standing by the door.With a proud smile on his face, showing off:

"Your second brother is back, no, now that you are an official, you are a heartless person, but your second brother is not as dark-hearted as you, and he still misses you now. Once you come back with a future, buy meat I also know that I am thinking about you brothers and sisters. Let me send the fried meat here! You eat less, your third brother is now growing up, so leave some for him. If the boy’s family is not strong, he will not It's easy to talk about kissing!" After Yang finished speaking, she handed the bowl to Cui Wei, revealing half a bowl of fat inside.

At this moment, the sky was not yet dark, Cui Wei probed over and glanced at it, and immediately lost her appetite. The bowl was full of fried fatty meat, each of which was cut as thick as chopsticks, and the pieces of meat were big At this time, because there is no reason for various oils like in modern times, the price of fat meat is far higher than that of lean meat at this time. If such a bowl is served, according to Yang's personality, it really feels quite good. It's a pity, I'm afraid if she didn't want to show off, she would have called Cui Jingping back to eat today. She was like this when Cui's family killed a pig a few days ago. She never thought of serving food, and now she said If she said that, it seemed that she was deeply afraid that she had eaten too much, and what was meant by her being black-hearted and unconscionable, wouldn't it mean that she agreed with Yang's words after eating her food? Cui Wei couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, while Just shook his head:

"Mother, there's no need, you can give it all to the third brother, or let the third brother eat it, I have already cooked the vegetables myself." Cui Wei is not without money and can't buy meat now, so she naturally won't eat Yang's meat. This bowl is her excuse.When Mrs. Yang heard what she said, she was stunned for a moment, and her face drooped immediately: "I don't know how to appreciate the delicious food for you. Wild boars can't eat fine chaff. It's fine if you don't eat it. There are many guests at home. You Go and call Saburo out!" Yang Shi was really showing off when she came here, she thought that Cui Wei should be moved to beg her when her meat came out, but the situation in front of her was completely different from what she thought. Immediately, he became a little annoyed, took the bowl back, and looked ugly, and scolded Cui Wei.

He didn't pay attention to Yang's scolding, and turned around to call Cui Jingping. Unexpectedly, Cui Jingping would not go to Cui's house for dinner, and Yang was extremely embarrassed. He was reluctant to scold his son, and didn't know how to vent his anger on Cui Wei. , In an instant, he went back angrily.But this side of Cui's house is full of lively scenes. Cui Jingzhong bought an official position this time, which is considered a great thing in Cui's house. Lin brought his eldest son and his family over in the afternoon As for the Cui family, last time the two families had a tense fight over the building of a house, they just took advantage of this opportunity to reconcile them as before. They were just discussing that they would go to town tomorrow to buy some paper money for Cui. The ancestors of the family offered incense and burned paper money, and Mrs. Yang on the other end came into the house.

She was still holding the bowl of meat in her hand, Lin Shi glanced at her, and immediately raised her eyelids: "Wei'er isn't at home?"

"Where is it that you are not at home!" When Yang heard what her mother-in-law said, she suddenly became angry, put the bowl heavily on the desk, and said loudly: "I don't appreciate it, now I can bear it." , the wings have grown hard, I will give this meat away, and they don’t want it!" As soon as Yang’s angry words were finished, Cui Shifu on the other end snorted coldly:

"It's because you don't like what you say!" Originally, there was still anger in her heart, but when she heard Cui Shifu's eccentric words, a burst of anger rose in Yang's heart.Cui Jingzhong bought an official position today, no matter how big or small, he is a person of status, so the family invited Cui Shicai's family to dinner, and Kong's side naturally hoped that his mother's family would come to dinner, so in the afternoon, he went to call Shao's family Mother and son come here.

Now that there are outsiders in the house, Cui Shifu shamed Yang Shi face to face. Yang Shi couldn't stand it now, and immediately said angrily: "You just favor her like this. Look at what benefits you get. Isn't it still the same now?" Do you rely on Erlang to have your meat? Your daughter is so filial, how much money does she give you now to buy meat and drink?"

Yang's voice was harsh and mean, and Cui Shifu immediately stood up angrily.Cui Wei often gave money, not to mention the four hundred Wen before, the copper coins that he was asked to help weave Zhulanzi before were probably worth hundreds of dollars, adding up to more than one or two taels of silver. Well, Mrs. Yang was very happy when he collected the money, but now he completely forgot, who has so much money to sell those bamboo blues?

When everyone saw something bad, Mrs. Lin quickly came out to smooth things over, and said with a sullen face: "You two are not children anymore, you are so old, your grandson can run all over the place, and now you are arguing like a child What are you talking about?" Mrs. Lin is the most senior, and Cui Shifu has always been filial. When she opened her mouth to speak, even if Cui Shifu was still a little unconvinced, she kept her mouth shut. No matter how arrogant Yang was, of course she would not dare to be stubborn with her mother-in-law. So I had to keep my mouth shut.Seeing such a scene, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but twitched her lips and gave a sneer. Mrs. Lin didn't pay attention to her, but saw that the second and second husband and wife had stopped talking, so she sighed and said:

"Wei'er is getting old now, and it's time to say goodbye. Second child, you should call her back. What do you mean by a girl who lives outside all day? When talking about her husband's house, if she doesn't have a father Mother is in charge, what is it like?" As soon as she said this, Shao's eyes moved.

Last time when Mrs. Yang took her to Cui Wei's side, she saw the house Cui Wei lived in. Later, she heard from her daughter that it belonged to her alone, and that day Cui Shifu said that the house was for her as a dowry. Whoever marries her is truly blessed.

And there is no man in my family, I am just a woman, and I can't go out to show my face and do things, so I can't support a family, and I rely on my daughter Kong to bring some food back from Cui's house, which is barely enough. It's just for survival, you can't eat enough, you can't starve to death!

Although the son of the family can read, Kong Xiucai left some books and bamboo books in his early years, but he didn't have the practice of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he couldn't afford a private school. The family is poor, and Kong Pengcheng is already fifteen or sixteen years old, but no one is willing to marry him now. It would be great if he could marry Cui Wei. She has a house, and if she can live with her, there is no need for food and drink at home. Worry, the son has someone to take care of, and the land rented from the yamen is also planted, I don't know how good it would be!

Although Cui Shifu had clearly rejected the Shao family's proposal of marriage last time, how could the Shao family give up like this. His son is getting older now and his health is not good. If there is any accident in the future, the Kong family will What's the deal with a broken root?She rolled her eyes, and she had a plan in her mind.

The Yang couple quarreled once, and Lin tried to persuade her again, but what she said to call Cui Wei back made Cui Shifu hesitate a bit.

Of course he also knew that it was not good for his daughter to live alone, but Cui Wei had long said that she did not want to come home. As soon as she came back, Mrs. Yang would miss her house, so naturally Cui Shifu refused to make such a thing happen again.Seeing his expression, Mrs. Lin didn't understand what he was thinking, so she immediately said with a straight face:

"I'm your mother, her grandma. Could it be possible to harm her? Now that Wei'er lives alone, and there is no elder in the family, the eldest son of the Nie family ran over there , although he said that day that he wanted to marry Wei Er, but he was just a child, how could he know anything? If the Nie family really wanted to, they would have come to hire him already, why would they wait any longer? Fortunately, she is still young, and the villagers I won't say much, but if she is older, see if the villagers will talk about it!" Mrs. Lin drank Cui Shifu, and when Mrs. Wang heard that Cui Wei's reputation would be bad, she said There was an involuntary look of satisfaction on his face. (To be continued.
