Although Zhang Lihua also wanted to go to the town to sell mountain mushrooms, her mother-in-law would not let her go. She shook her head and said: "I won't go. Just like in previous years, my brother-in-law sells mushrooms at our house. I want more tomorrow."
Then go up to the mountain to pick it up!"
Everyone knew what was going on in her family. Zhou Shitou heard this. Although he was expected, he was also a little disappointed, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's wait until next time when you go to sell it, let's go together!"
Others were afraid that Zhou Shitou would not give them a ride, so they all surrounded Zhou Shitou and followed him to the village.
Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua were lagging behind. They only had to walk about ten steps to get home.
Thinking of Zhou Shitou's look, Song Qiu looked at Zhang Lihua and couldn't help but smile secretly, but said nothing, "Lihua is still young, don't be in a hurry."
"I can't put this basket on my back. I plan to go to Ping'an Village to sell at the market tomorrow morning. You really don't want to go with me?"
Seeing that they were still some distance away from the yard, Zhang Lihua glanced at no one in their yard, winked at Song Qiu and said, "I would like to go, but how can my grandma let me sell it?"
"It's the same as in previous years. I'll secretly sell some for you, and you can save some money."
Zhang Lihua nodded. She had been affectionate since childhood and was not polite to Song Qiu. She moved towards the basket and asked Song Qiu to grab a lot of it.
It was like this in previous years. If you help sell half a catty or a catty at a time, you can save a lot if you accumulate it.
"I have to work hard for you again, Aqiu!"
Song Qiuma quickly grabbed a handful of pockets and put them in the already short hem of her clothes, and simply said: "Which of us is following the other? You're talking too much." She didn't say anything more.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and she believed this in her previous life.
But when she got here and met the Zhang family, she realized that all the sutras were difficult to recite, and the difficulty was divided into high school and low school.
Zhang Lihua's grandfather, Zhang Laodou, and her grandmother, Deng, had just gotten married less than a year ago. At that time, the county government came to recruit military service, and Zhang Laodou, who was born tall and thick, was recruited.
Mrs. Deng gave birth to her eldest son Zhang Guquan in the next year, but there was no news from Mr. Zhang until his son was one year old. Mrs. Deng and her son waited and waited every day.
Suddenly one day, there was news that Zhang Laodou was sent to the Dongying Army in Yunzhou, and he followed Shangguan to fight the Japanese bandits, but no body was left.
As soon as Mr. Deng heard the news, he fell ill immediately. If Mr. Yuan and his wife hadn't helped him, he would have followed him.
After she recovered from the illness, her mother-in-law's family persuaded her to take her son and remarry. Otherwise, how difficult would it be for one person to help her son grow up? Besides, there were many disputes in the widow's family, and old Deng was good-looking.
Old Deng was talked about a lot. Looking at his young son, it didn't take long for him to get married again. The man's surname was Li, and he was also a widower. There was no one else in the family, so he went to the Zhang family after being married.
.
The two gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another and lived a happy life.
But the good times didn't last long. Suddenly one day, Mr. Zhang, who was heard to be dead, suddenly came back alive!
Everyone was amazed, and after asking, they found out that Mr. Zhang was stabbed several times to save Shangguan, and they all thought he was dead. However, Shangguan thought of his kindness in saving his life and found the best doctor for him.
He cured people.
It took him more than half a year to recover his health, but his left hand was disabled. Naturally, he could no longer serve as a soldier, so the Shangguan kept him by his side as a confidant and did some simple work in the accounts.
But Zhang Laodou really missed his wife at home, so as soon as the war was over, he begged Shangguan to come back home.
The Shangguan thought of his life-saving grace, agreed to let him go home, and gave him a generous sum of money.
Zhang Laodou happily returned home with a huge sum of money in his pocket. As soon as he arrived home, he saw his long-lost wife talking and laughing with a man, and three children laughing and playing in the yard. He was immediately in a mess.
Mr. Zhang has a bad temper, and he has served as a soldier and fought in a war. He has survived blood and water, how can he stand this coward?
Without saying a word, he rushed forward and started to fight with others. Even though he only had one hand to use, his fists were extremely hard.
If Lao Deng hadn't interceded to persuade him to fight, Li Dachui would have been beaten to death according to Lao Dou Zhang's bloody nature.
Naturally, what made Zhang Lao Dou show mercy was that Lao Deng gave birth to a son for him.
When Zhang Laodou heard this, he stopped.
However, Li Dachui, who was beaten half to death, was no longer much better.
Zhang Laodou didn't want to kill him, but he couldn't tolerate him either. He just told him to get out of here, as far away as possible, and never show up in Songshan Village for the rest of his life.
Li Dachui wanted to take away his son and daughter, but Zhang Lao Dou stared, no way!
Therefore, the only one who left in the end was Li Dachui, who could not defeat Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Laodou liked Lao Deng very much, and they had known each other since childhood. She thought that she was afraid that she would not be able to raise a son after her death, so she remarried under the persuasion of her mother-in-law's family. He quickly forgave her and accepted her.
Li Dachui’s son and daughter.
Following his surname, in descending order are the second son Zhang Donggua and the eldest daughter Zhang Shuiqin.
The latter two gave birth to two more sons, Zhang Digua and Zhang Hugua, and a youngest daughter, Zhang Xiangye, for a total of four sons and two daughters.
There are eight people in the family, and although two of them are not biological, Zhang Laodou has money in his hands and doesn't care about having two more mouths.
After all, he wanted to live a good life with old Deng.
But this has always happened before, and the two of them were noisy, so it was inevitable that they would always bring it up.
As time went by, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Laodou, but Lao Deng couldn't live with it. She felt that these two children were very annoying, so she became disgusted with them.
Not to mention being frequently beaten and scolded, but there was also a lot of hard work. Zhang Shuiqin had to wash the whole family's clothes and did endless work every day. When she got married, old Deng randomly matched her with an in-law.
But here in Zhang Donggua, Mrs. Deng spent all her betrothal gifts on wives for her other three sons, but gave him a daughter-in-law who bought ten pounds of grain. She lived in a poor valley, had never seen the world, and did not dare to speak loudly.
If you don’t even like this son, then you will even dislike the granddaughters and grandsons born from this son.
Zhang Lihua is the daughter of Zhang Donggua and Chen.
She also has a brother named Zhang Yang.
The people in this room had a very difficult time in the Zhang family.
Old Deng was determined to dislike them. At first, Mr. Zhang protected them, but after a long time and tired of the quarrel, he was no longer willing to take care of them.
In such a situation, how could old Deng allow them to have contact with matters related to money?
Every year when mountain mushrooms come out, she asks Zhang Lihua to pick them up, but she is never allowed to sell them.
Song Qiu has the memory of his original body, so he naturally knows these things about the Zhang family very well.
Seeing Zhang Lihua enter her yard, Mrs. Deng squinted his eyes and looked into the basket on her back.
"Hurry and pack it up, your uncle will go to town tomorrow to sell it!"
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Lihua responded and went to the well in the corner of the courtyard.
