Old Yuan felt troubled when she saw the money. She had so much to hide, how could she dare to take the money?
He hurriedly stepped back and said, "It's just a small thing. I really don't dare to take it. Sister, I'd better take it back, otherwise I'll feel uneasy! Don't worry, if I think of anything later, I'll tell you."
Seeing that Old Yuan was too afraid to accept it, the old lady had no choice but to take back the money, say goodbye and leave.
Old Yuan saw people out of the yard, feeling anxious and wondering if something would happen if she hid Aqiu and Lihua.
I hope the Cheng family won't know, then they won't blame her for deliberately concealing it, right?
They should not know that Aqiu and Lihua were born in August. She personally delivered the babies. Only she knows the specific time. Old sister knows it. People in the village only know that it is August. By then, they should not
He would talk too much and talk in front of the Cheng family.
Mrs. Yuan comforted herself and turned around to see Mrs. Deng looking at her in the yard. She nodded and went into the house.
Seeing this, Old Madam Deng followed up with Stone Egg in her arms.
After entering the house, Old Yuan moved a stool and asked Old Deng to sit on it, "Is Dad still lying down?"
"I've been lying down, hurting my muscles and bones for a hundred days. Although I haven't broken any bones, I'm old and have so many injuries all over my body. The one on my forehead is not light, so I don't need to take care of it. Besides, in the first few days,
Aren't you angry with the third child?" There was no one else in the room, so Old Deng spoke in a low voice, not afraid of being heard.
The door of the house was open. Anyone who saw her outside would know that she was having fun with Old Yuan. How normal was it to have nothing to do?
Lao Yuan was thinking about Zhang Digua's return a few days ago, "I don't have a problem with that. That day I saw that Digua came back and left soon after. It sounded like my father was scolding something?"
Old Mrs. Deng sighed, "I'm angry. I was happy that my son came back to see him, but before I could say anything about my concern, I started talking about how I would no longer bring money to the family every month.
I need to send Bai'er to school, and Xinghua's place also needs to be taken care of. Apart from these, there is really not much income from the shop that I can take home."
"In addition to getting winter melons every year, don't we just rely on the shop to bring home the income every month? Sometimes we get them once every two or three months, let alone mention them. Now I will never take them again.
Aren’t you angry then?”
"What's he doing? He just said that Bai'er was not good at studying and kept the money for Song'er to study. Just this sentence made the third child angry? How could he say that his son was not as good as others? He just rolled up his sleeves and left.
Hu Gua went to the town yesterday to look for her, but the other person was still angry and said she wouldn’t come back. People listened to this, and they are stunned again! "
Mr. Deng has always been too lazy to take care of the twists and turns of his sons.
She didn't bother to say who was right and who was wrong because Zhang Lao Dou was at home.
But how can the third daughter-in-law expect so much? I'm afraid the third daughter-in-law is too clever and dissatisfied when she sees that the eldest family has bought a house.
Yes, last time I went to Xinghua's place, my family only had fifty taels of silver.
Although the shop is owned by the family, it was said at the beginning that it was for the third son to rely on, to send the eldest son to study, and for the third son to do business. There is no need to say this.
Now more than ten years have passed, and the third family member no longer wants to take money from the family, and it is not unreasonable to refuse to suffer this disadvantage.
Do you think that everyone is as honest and easy to bully as the second child?
If she hadn't been afraid that this old guy wouldn't be able to suppress people's bad thoughts, she wouldn't have suppressed them early on.
Compared with money, life is more important.
Hello, Cheng family, where are you not working, but there is always a smell of meat.
It would be even more difficult for the second two children to go at home, and it would also be even more difficult for the next two children, Zhang and Yang.
Big or small, he must always be the one to take the lead. Otherwise, how can this person feel at ease?
I'm not afraid of him now.
Old Mrs. Deng didn't feel distressed at all, "Just lie down, so as not to hurt your eyes from wandering around. It's his turn to be angry. Why don't you just say it? Children and grandchildren are all debts to the old man, so let him suffer too."
.”
Old Yuan also laughed when he heard this, "He will still suffer from it in the future, and the Pumpkin family won't be able to worry about it."
"These are all his daughter-in-law," Old Mrs. Deng said.
Old Yuan laughed a few more times, turned around, sighed, and told in a low voice what the Cheng family's mother-in-law had come to do.
Old Mrs. Deng was also stunned when she heard this, "Is the baby expected to be born in August?"
"I don't know which day or hour it was. Maybe it's not certain. It would be fine if you hid it like this, but I'm afraid these two women will remember it in their hearts." Old Deng thought about it and became a little worried.
"Right now, I just hope that the Cheng family will find the right person quickly and don't bother too much. Here at Aqiu Lihua, I know she was born in August, so there are only these people. Don't bother over there. No one will tell me.
.”
As he said that, seeing the pain on Old Yuan's face, he couldn't help but comforted: "Don't worry about it, it's okay, it's such a coincidence, but it won't be A Qiu and Lihua's turn. I believe it won't take two days to get to the Cheng family."
Just found it. Besides, even if you don't find it, I believe that the Cheng family won't care too much about you if they find out that you concealed it. It doesn't make sense that you shouldn't be allowed to protect your granddaughter, right?"
When Mrs. Yuan heard what Mrs. Deng said, she felt a little relieved, "You're right, even if the Cheng family knew about it, they wouldn't be as knowledgeable as an old woman like me, right? That's why my heart was beating so hard, and I felt that Cheng
I feel sorry for keeping this from such a nice family."
Old Mrs. Deng patted her hand, "It's okay, it's okay. As you said, the Cheng family is a good family, and good people have their own destiny, so the young master will be fine."
…
Song Qiu and the others went to Xiashan Village first, intending to collect those from Xiashan Village, and then move back to collect those from Ping'an Village and Yangjiawan, so that they could be more efficient.
Xiashan Village is only ten miles away from the town. It has beautiful scenery and is much richer than Songshan Village.
In this area, Xiashan Village, Ping'an Village, and Qili Village can all be considered large villages. Not to mention that every family is living a prosperous life, and it is impossible to find anyone who is so poor that they eat chaffy vegetables.
The village is prosperous, and there is not even an idle scoundrel in the village.
All the way into the village, Song Qiu met an acquaintance before he could ask anyone.
It was Hu Mengsheng, my aunt's cousin who was planning to leave the village.
"Cousin Meng Sheng!" Song Qiu called someone first.
Hu Mengsheng stared at her for a while before remembering the person, "This is Ah Qiu! I haven't seen her for more than half a year. She has grown taller and fatter. I almost didn't recognize her."
This is also normal. Song Qiu remembers that he met his aunt during the first lunar month when she brought her New Year greetings. It has been seven or eight months, so there have been changes.
Song Qiu thought that he was indeed fatter than when he first came here, and his complexion was better. He was not as sallow and skinny as before.
"Yes, I am Aqiu. How is my cousin always? How is my aunt?"
"Okay, okay! It's okay! My mother was still talking about my aunt yesterday! She thought we would see her in a few days, but now you are here. Come on, come home with me!" Hu Mengsheng said, and was about to go.
