Chapter 76 Don't Go Help Your Aunt Pick Up the Back Basket!

"Mom, I asked my eldest daughter to go to Lao Xu's house to peel fruit, but her mother-in-law didn't agree. For this money-making job, we would rather hire outsiders than use our own people. We don't want to go to their house to enjoy the autumn breeze. We all earn from labor.

I won't let you eat even if you have a mouth to eat, my aunt's family is too heartless."

Both mother and son have their own opinions.

Mrs. Yuan's eyes were gloomy, "Let's wait for two more days. If she doesn't move, I will call her back and give her a good lesson. I will feed her with bran vegetables and let her marry a good family and live a good life."

In a good life, don't you just want her to give her mother's family a heads up? What's the use of keeping such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf? What kind of hard life do you second aunts live every day? You are trying to find ways to get married for Xiaohai, what if your eldest aunt

Not taking the money has delayed Xiao Hai’s marriage, and I’m not done with her..."

Just as he was talking, suddenly the sound of Father Yuan coughing came from outside the fence.

Father Yuan was smoking and resting under the tree at the gate.

You can still faintly hear people talking in the room.

"Old lady, Dahua's son-in-law is here!"

Mrs. Yuan and the others in the room immediately fell silent.

At the same time, the faces of several people in the room showed joy. Coming to the door at this time would most likely be a good thing.

Mrs. Yuan quickly pulled her eldest son Yuan Qiang up from the chair, "Don't just think about paralyzing all day long. Let's go for a walk and greet your eldest brother-in-law together."

Here, Father Yuan has already led Xu Laoer into the house enthusiastically.

Xu Laoer also carried a backpack on his shoulders and was sweating profusely from walking. Standing among Lao Yuan's family, a strong mountain man, he stood out like a flock of chickens.

Mrs. Yuan greeted with a smile, "It's such a hot day, Dahua son-in-law, why are you here? You're sweating all over because of the heat. Come in and have a rest. Xiaohai, you're a blind thing, why don't you go and help you?"

Uncle, take the basket!"

Yuan Xiaohai understood and immediately went to pick up Xu Laoer's backpack.

The backpack was extremely heavy. As soon as Yuan Xiaohai took it, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Mrs. Yuan also saw it. When Xiaohai took the basket, it sank as soon as she took it. It must have been full of things and it was extremely heavy. The smile on her face became more and more full.

"My dear, we have a distinguished guest at home, why don't you go cook? What are you doing here? Take out the cornmeal that we usually can't bear to eat, and make cornmeal steamed buns for Dahua. Dahua's son-in-law finally comes here.

Don't be lazy."

Xu Laoer couldn't stand this kind of enthusiasm, "My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. I'll eat whatever you want. It doesn't matter. It's mainly because Chunhua asked me to come here today for Xiao Hai's wedding..."

"Quick, quick, come into the room and say it, come into the room and say it."

After entering the house, Xu Laoer didn't talk much and told everything his wife Yuan Chunhua had told him.

And he took out three taels of silver.

Among them, 20, 2, 800 Wen were the salary from Loquat Paste, and the other 200 Wen was because he had good luck hunting in the mountains these past few days, and the prey he caught was sold in the town and kept privately.

Mrs. Yuan took the money and pointed to a few pieces of new cloth in the basket on her back. Her face darkened, "So, these cloths were made up of cloths because the money was not enough?"

Xu Laoer hummed and said awkwardly, "As my uncle, I should provide some financial support for Xiao Hai's marriage, but Chunhua and I can only think of so much. Our family is not well off, and we are not that landlord's family.

The four children in the family are almost grown up, and if they want to get married, life will be difficult."

Uncle Yuan muttered, "Isn't your family's life easy? It's almost catching up with the landlord's family. They harvest so many fruits every day and hire so many workers. I don't know how much money they make? My sister Chunhua will marry you.

Family, hard-working, serving parents-in-law, big and small, no credit but hard work, so much spare money to hire workers, Xiaohai got married, even the five taels of silver promised was not enough, and even cloth was used to pay it off, I thought it was my spring flower

My sister is making new clothes for me, my elder brother, and our family is prosperous, so it would be unkind to ignore the life and death of our relatives."

Xu Laoer was originally feeling a little inexplicably guilty when he heard Uncle Yuan's confident words.

No matter how good-tempered he is, he is still a little unhappy.

"My sister makes the loquat ointment. She pays for the labor. The money she earns is not shared by the public. It is all her own dowry. We also share the labor money. These three taels of silver are for our family.

Everyone's wages were taken, and there was not a penny left in their hands. Originally, Xiaohai had parents, and it was not for me, an outsider named Xu, to take care of her. What does it mean to be unkind?"

It's rare for Xu Laoer to speak so sarcastically. To him, this amount of money is really equivalent to a huge sum of money.

In all these years, he has never had so much money on hand.

Just a few days after I bought it, I didn't even warm it up, so I sent it to someone.

I didn't even say anything when I gave it away, I didn't even say a kind word, and I was called unkind.

No matter how honest a person is, he still has a temper.

When Yuan Po saw it, she quickly scolded Yuan Qiang, "What are you talking about? Your brother-in-law is the most kind person in this country! Dahua son-in-law, don't listen to him, just think he farts! I know Xiaohai

Your marriage is very difficult for you and your wife, but we can't help it. Seeing that Xiaohai is almost twenty years old, such an old person can't even afford a housewife. The girl introduced this time is hard-working and a

We all like girls from good families, but the bride price is too expensive..."

In front of Xu Lao Er, he cried a lot and said nice things about Xu Lao Er and flattered him.

It calmed down Xu Laoer's anger.

Then, Mrs. Yuan asked curiously, "Did you really give all the money your family earned to your sister? It's a lot, right? Did you hire so many workers to work for so many days?"

Xu Laoer replied truthfully, "My mother didn't tell me how much I earned, but even if I earned money, I should have used it all at home. We spent several taels on repairing the cellar and repairing the house.

Ten taels of silver, as well as honoring my parents and paying wages to my family, which is another ten taels, are probably all spent."

Mrs. Yuan and several other people heard that one person was worth several liang at one time, another was worth ten liang at the next time, and another was worth ten liang at the next time...

My mouth is almost watering this time.

Lord Qingtian!

A village girl can earn dozens of taels of silver in just a few days. What a blessing this girl is!

Mrs. Yuan regretted it endlessly. If Yuan Xiaohai had been attracted by Xu Zhang and could marry Xu Jiaojiao, then their old Yuan family would not have to worry about food and drink in the future.

I can make twenty or thirty taels a year by making loquat ointment, and I can do it every year... Ouch!
