peasant shrew

Chapter 98

"You can tell at a glance that my nephew and niece and daughter-in-law are distressed. I am also an old woman half buried in the ground. The corn in the yard can't be twisted. Your fourth uncle's waist is not working well. If you don't care about your life It's not easy, and you two must come to help." Bai hugged the child, and scratched the corn under the bench, meaning to ask Lin Yueniang to help with the work.

Lin Yueniang looked embarrassed, sighed and hesitated to speak.She seemed to hold back for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "Fourth aunt, if it wasn't really embarrassing, I wouldn't come here empty-handed today. I should take the pork and eggs no matter how much they are. But, you also know that my mother The health is not good, and the new prescriptions cost money. The land under Tieniu's name was sold early, and we really don't have any savings in our hands. Seeing that winter is coming again, I'm afraid we have to pay for it. Borrow some surplus food from my aunt..."

The words are not euphemistic, it can be said that they are close to borrowing money directly.

Can't get cheap and lose money?Mrs. Bai doesn't want to be preyed upon by this family's debt collector. She knows the life of the third sister-in-law's house even if she doesn't ask.The third sister-in-law is sick, and she is a drug basket. There is no land at home, and her nephew is in the way of his mother, so she dare not go out to work to earn money.In these years, apart from a stable residence, life is actually not easy, even more difficult than ordinary farmers.If you borrow money, you will only be able to repay it in the Year of the Monkey.

Thinking of this, Bai's complexion became extremely ugly, she didn't want to go through a lot of eating bran and swallowing vegetables just to help Zhao Tieniu's family.After thinking about it, she also began to wipe away tears, pulled Lin Yueniang and said guiltily, "My niece, it's not that the fourth aunt is cruel and doesn't help you. It's just that the life of the aunt's family is also very hard. Just your four friends Brother, you are born to collect debts. In addition, your fourth brother should be kissed, and the dowry fee has to be paid. Maybe you have to take care of it... Speaking of which, your second aunt The family is much easier, Dafu and Erlei are both small shopkeepers, and there are no other expenses at home, isn't it a sum of money to collect Baomi?"

Even a fool should understand Bai's words.What's more, Lin Yueniang and Zhao Tieniu are not stupid, especially Zhao Tieniu is frowning now, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.Hearing that the fourth aunt pushed himself on the second aunt, his face became even more ugly.He opened his mouth to say something, but remembering his wife's previous entrustment, he finally closed his mouth obediently.

"Fourth aunt, why don't we discuss it after fourth uncle comes back? After all, we are all a family. From now on, Tieniu and I will work hard to earn money, and sooner or later we will be able to repay your kindness." Lin Yueniang said sincerely, looking at Bai Shi's eyes were still full of expectation.

In fact, she started to laugh a long time ago. It seems that my fourth aunt Bai is really the kind who cooks her own food with other people's fire, maybe she still wants to grab flour with wet hands.Now whenever something asks her to do something, she pats her butt and pushes the matter onto others.

Bai frowned, feeling a little unhappy.Why is this niece and daughter-in-law so incomprehensible?Could it be that he thought that his man would soften his heart if he came forward, and lent food and money to her family?

"Fourth Aunt, why don't you do this? When Fourth Uncle comes back, you can go home to have a drink with him. At that time, add Second Aunt and the others, and let's have a good chat." Lin Yueniang's complexion was a little bad, and she spoke with some reluctance.

After leaving Uncle Zhao's house, Lin Yueniang changed her face.Disdainfully glanced at the house behind her, and Bai Shi who was muttering and swearing, and then she walked back with her man.

Haha, I really think she is such a fool.But borrowing money today is not a serious matter, the real matter is to make Mrs. Bai swallow flies, and dare not go to her house to get things easily.

You know, compared with this kind of stingy person, only when you have a thicker skin and ask for more things and pierce your heart, can you stop the other party's outstretched hand.As for the future, the relationship must go forward, but don't think about making her a fool.

When I got home, I found Mrs. Zhou was cleaning up in the kitchen, even washing the newly bought meat.Just waiting for the daughter-in-law to come back and start cooking.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was about to get rid of the untreated rabbits, Lin Yueniang hurried forward to help him away, "Mother, please rest for a while. The washing and stripping work should be done by the husband."

Mrs. Zhou knew that this was Yueniang's filial piety, so she followed her into the house, and saw the young couple squatting by the well talking through the window, she couldn't help showing a happy smile.

Brushing her hair, Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and took out a needle and thread shovel from under the kang table, took out a small piece of red cloth inside and sewed it up. It looked like a bellyband embroidered for a child.

Lin Yueniang scooped out a small bucket of boiling water from the kitchen, and then helped Zhao Tieniu get the rabbits and skin the wolves.She was worried that this brutal man's subordinates would not be accurate enough to destroy the rabbit fur and skin, so that it would be difficult to make knee pads for Mrs. Zhou.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was not afraid of him, Zhao Tieniu was even more cheerful, talking to her happily, and following her instructions, he cut off the rabbit skin.Then he seemed to be cleansing himself up by asking for credit, and kept asking if his craftsmanship was good.

Seeing Zhao Tieniu start peeling the wolf skin, Lin Yueniang got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.The stewed meat was first copied with oil, then put chili and aniseed ingredients in a pot and stewed.
