husband and wife

Chapter 145

Su Wan nodded, and Song Xiaomei immediately became excited: "So we got so much last time? No wonder our family was able to buy dozens of acres of land in one go."

Su Wan said with a smile: "With this money, it's enough for my parents to hire as many long-term workers and harvest as many grapes."

Song Xiaomei nodded vigorously: "That's right, I really want to see how much 300 taels are. I didn't even dare to think about so much money before."

The lunch is almost ready, the people working in the fields have returned, today's lunch is rich, Su Wan brought a chicken and a duck from the county, the chicken has not been killed yet, the duck let Song Xiaomei directly stew the soup for supplementation Body, the family already has fish and meat. The harder it is during the busy farming season, the more you have to eat well to make up for it. The fish is caught in the pond at home, and it doesn’t cost money. You only buy cheap lean meat. Save too much on food.

All the workers fetched water in the courtyard and washed their hands and faces. They were so hungry that they sat on the table and started to eat bowls of rice. Mother Song took several mouthfuls of rice with the old duck soup, and then said: "Is this duck brought back by Ziheng's wife? It's said that you spend a lot of money in the city, why spend money on this?"

"We respect our parents in a respectful way. It's not a waste." Su Wan smiled. Song Ziheng had already taken out a heavy purse from the house. It was known that there was a lot of money in it. He handed the money to Father Song , which is similar to what Su Wan said to Song Xiaomei. Father Song passed by once, and he was quite calm, only the hand holding the purse was trembling, but Mother Song couldn't help but leaned over, looked at it several times, and immediately smiled. "The in-law's talk is really urgent. After you go back, Ziheng, you must go to the in-law's place for us and bring my words. It's too late for our family to thank him, but this has caused trouble for the in-laws again." .”

"What's the trouble, why should the family care about these things?"

Father Song put away his purse and relieved the embarrassment of lack of money. Afterwards, the dining atmosphere became much more relaxed. Grandma Song smiled and said to Mother Song, "You didn't see that my great-grandchildren came back dressed in the same Our three-year-old green shirt, dressed as a scholar, is really good-looking, even the younger sister almost sees the older child as three when looking at it from a distance."

Song's mother nodded and said: "Although I didn't see it, I heard that Cai Funiang's second daughter-in-law said when she went to call for food. Didn't she have another baby? The pregnancy was not good, so Cai Funiang didn't call her. Go to the field and let her cook at home, she said that seeing our family of scholars come back, that scene is really enviable."

Grandma Song's attention was immediately diverted, and she asked: "Cai Fu Niang's daughter-in-law is pregnant again? Her third girl has just been weaned not long ago!"

Song's mother subconsciously glanced at Su Wan. The neighbor's daughter-in-law gave birth one after another, and her new daughter-in-law had been in the house for more than a year without any news. It is reasonable for her to ask a few questions as a mother-in-law, but the daughter-in-law's natal family just waited. Returning the silver a little bit, seeing that his daughter-in-law was also thinking about her family, she was afraid that she was thin-skinned and felt that she was blaming her. Mother Song moved her lips, but she still didn't say anything. She smiled and responded to Grandma Song: "But No, but Cai Funiang is also worried, afraid that another girl will be born, and their family has a bunch of girls, so they have a precious grandson."

Grandma Song nodded and said with a smile, "Cai Fu Niang is not as good as you in this regard, she actually has fewer grandchildren."

Mrs. Zhang thought that the third sibling had not been born for a year, so it would be embarrassing to hear this topic, so she said to Su Wan, "I haven't thanked the third sibling for taking care of my children. They were disobedient at home, but now they are much more sensible when they come back. The three brothers and sisters spend a lot of time educating them, it is very hard." After Zhang said, she couldn't help but glanced at her two sons, her eyes were full of pride and relief.

"Why is sister-in-law so polite? They call me auntie, and my uncle and uncle usually help me a lot. I take them there, so I have to be responsible to them. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of you and your parents? They are also hardworking themselves. You don’t need me to urge you, you just read books and practice calligraphy.”

"That's thanks to my younger siblings looking after her." Although Li Shi had a sharp mouth, no one in the Song family could speak against her except Su Wan, but she couldn't get used to Su Wan, and she couldn't learn to flatter her like a sister-in-law. After being stared at by her husband several times, she had no choice but to say this dryly and politely.

Su Wan also said: "Second sister-in-law, why are you being polite?"

Mrs. Zhang said again: "I think it's because of the food and clothing these days, which cost my younger siblings a lot of money. I heard that the monthly repairs cost three hundred Wen in total? It costs several taels of silver in a year, and my younger siblings even give it to me." They made new clothes, and if you want me to say that they are half-grown, they grow up fast, and the new clothes won’t last the next year, so why bother to use such good materials for them.”

Mrs. Zhang is really cheap and good-looking. She has always been very careful. No matter how much she loves her son, she is reluctant to spend money to buy such good materials for them to wear. It is not bad for the money to put on her younger siblings, but she has no reason to feel at ease. No matter how you say it, I have to persuade her, Su Wan nodded and smiled, accepting this kindness.
