Zhang Lihua knew it was impossible without even thinking about it.
When parents are here, it is taboo to separate the family.
Unless the parents decide on their own to divide the family for their son, otherwise, if the son proposes to divide the family on his own, he will be arrested and taken to the Yamen to be punished.
Besides, her parents are very honest and don't dare to fart loudly in front of her breasts. How can they dare to raise the issue of dividing the family?
It was impossible to separate the family, so she had to rely on herself to save money.
Thinking of the three hundred or so money she had saved and placed with Ah Qiu, Zhang Lihua was so excited that she ran away.
What’s so hard about saving money?
She can definitely do it!
Zhang Lihua responded solemnly and immersed herself in picking up mountain mushrooms, while looking for morels as well.
This is all you need to save money!
It's a pity that good things are hard to find. In the next few days, I only picked up mountain fungi, and I never encountered any other rare fungi.
However, Zhang Lihua still relied on the harvested mushrooms and asked Old Yuan to go to the market these days to help sell them and save another twelve cents.
She has saved a lot this year, and Zhang Lihua said she is very satisfied.
Here at the Song family, old Yuan came back from selling mushrooms and vegetables at the market again, and sat down with Song Qiu to do the accounting.
"Throw away your uncle's one hundred big money. We still have six cents left that time. Last time we went to town, we sold mushrooms and vegetables for a total of eighty-seven cents. Excluding stall fees, vegetarian buns and cars
From the money we spent, we have seventy-eight cents left. The rest is the money we spent on selling mountain mushrooms at the market these days. Ah Qiu, do you think we have enough?"
Song Qiu felt happy when she heard that her nanny didn't mention the money for the morels. Look, her nanny turned a blind eye and treated her as a private property.
He took the money bag on the table and started to count it. He hadn't checked the accounts in the past few days, and old Yuan had put all the copper plates together.
After a while, Song Qiu counted it all and said happily: "Nai has sold a total of 189 yuan from selling mountain mushrooms and vegetables these days! In addition to the 78 yuan from the town last time, there are still 6 yuan left.
Wen, we have a total of two hundred and seventy-three dollars!"
Adding in the 300 money she has here, they actually already have nearly 700 money!
For them now, this is a lot of money.
When Old Yuan heard that her family had saved so much money, she was very happy, "Okay, we have some money left. I will pay back the hundred yuan from your uncle's house this afternoon."
After all, he was worried about owing money to others. Even if it was his own brother, it would be better to pay it back earlier. Old Yuan did as he was told and went to her parents' house in the afternoon.
Lao Yuan's natal family is in Yanghuai Village, seven or eight miles away behind Songshan Village. You can get there by taking the official road directly out of the village in less than half an hour. It's a big road and it's easy to walk.
Yanghuai Village is a much larger village than Songshan Village. It does not rely on mountains. Every household in the village has a field to farm, and they can barely survive.
Old Yuan's parents have passed away, and now her only brother Yuan Shuanzi is in charge.
They had only three brothers and one sister, and they had a younger sister. They married in Xiashan Village, not far from Ping'an Village. The three brothers and sisters had a good relationship and had always had a good relationship.
Yuan Shuanzi and Lao Meng had two sons and one daughter in total. The daughter got married, and the two sons were already married. Each of them had children. The family had a total of eleven people, not many people, but the land left by the parents above them totaled
There are nearly ten acres.
This is Yuan Shuanzi's only son, so they are all his.
But Yuan Shuanzi has two sons and three grandsons, so ten acres of land is nothing.
After saving money for his son to beg a wife, he still had to take care of his grandchildren. The family lived quite frugally.
Therefore, Lao Meng has been thinking about Yuan Shuanzi lending his sister a hundred dollars.
Who doesn't know the situation in this eldest sister's family? The man was gone long ago, and the only son was gone with him. Finally, the wife was gone too, leaving only the grandson and granddaughter. I never thought that the granddaughter would be sick again.
The family doesn't have much income. Just relying on my eldest sister to deliver babies is not enough for me. Isn't lending this hundred money a piece of cake to beat a dog?
Yuan Shuanzi was determined to help his eldest sister and did not mention the matter of repayment. Although Old Meng did not say anything about urging her, he was not sure what he thought in his heart.
Therefore, when Old Yuan came to visit, Old Meng's first reaction was that he was coming to borrow money again?
Ah Qiu looked so sick. Last time her son went to see her, but when he came back, he told her that he was so sick that he was so thin that he was so sick that he could just take tonics to heal.
Didn’t you have enough money and didn’t have enough food? You borrowed it again.
Thinking about it like this, Old Meng felt his heart ached, but he still had to greet people with a smile on his face, "Sister, is she here? Come and sit in the room."
Except for Lao Meng, only the youngest grandson of the Yuan family, Yuan Sanping, was at home. The rest of the family had gone out to work. Farming was busy right now, and those with fields had no time to spare.
Old Yuan came because she knew that her eldest brother would definitely not be at home at this moment.
"Sister-in-law is pulling weeds!" Old Yuan answered and followed Old Meng who emerged from the vegetable garden to the main room.
Old Meng washed his hands and poured a bowl of sugar water.
Nowadays, guests are served with sugar water, and these have to be real guests, like old Yuan, who is an aunt returning to her family, so she must be served with sugar water, otherwise it will not be a rule.
No matter how reluctant Old Meng was to let go, he still understood this rule.
However, she also took the initiative to ask Old Yuan what he was doing here, and only talked about some family matters. In the end, she had to talk about Song Qiu.
"Yuan Hua came to see her last time and said that Aqiu had woken up and could eat. She hasn't seen her for several days, so she should be fine, right?"
When the farming season is busy, there is no time to run around here or there.
When Lao Yuan heard her sister-in-law mention it, she took advantage of the situation and said: "Okay, okay, she's already great and lively, isn't it that the fungi are growing now? She spends all day on the mountain picking up fungi! Otherwise, I would have brought her here too.
.”
When Old Meng heard that he was already well and could go up the mountain to collect mountain fungi, it was probably because his health was well and he no longer needed to take medicine.
Isn't the eldest sister here to borrow money?
It's not borrowing money, and I won't come to your door specifically at such a time. That's...
Old Meng's heart was moved, thinking about what her elder sister said about picking up mountain mushrooms every day. Could it be that she was paying back the money?
But then I thought about it, that’s not right. Mountain mushrooms only cost three cents a pound. Ah Qiu picked them up every year and never sold them for a few bucks. It’s impossible to save a hundred bucks so quickly, right?
Before Old Meng could think about it, Old Yuan had already taken out the handful of money he had brought with him and said: "I have saved enough money these days by selling mountain mushrooms and some vegetables at home. No, I have more money now."
, I came to pay back the money. There are many people in my sister-in-law’s family, and there are many places to use money. It’s hard to drag around my place if it is vacated.”
Old Meng was very surprised. The mushrooms were so easy to sell this year. How many days had it passed before he had saved up enough money?
I really came here to pay back the money.
She was secretly happy in her heart, but she still wanted to say on her face: "Sister, what are you doing? Which one of our two families belongs to the other? After saving this money, you can spend it on your own expenses first. We are not in a hurry here."
