According to Li Xiaomian's observations during this period, combined with modern prices, twenty taels is equivalent to ten thousand or twenty thousand yuan in modern times.
For them now, this is really a huge sum of money!
My mother is really willing to go out of her way to wipe out a household worth ten thousand yuan without blinking an eye.
At this time, Mr. Song's eyebrows were stretched, and his smile was full of smiles. He was sitting on a stool with only three legs, as if he was in a high hall.
It seems that this is really happy.
Li Xiaomian couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that my mother got what she wanted when the family was separated.
Since traveling through time, she has witnessed her mother's sorrow, helplessness, stubbornness, and even madness.
It was the first time I saw her smiling so comfortably.
It was this smiling face that warmed Li Xiaomian's heart, and he couldn't help but take a closer look at this cheap lady.
She is about thirty years old, tall and thin, with dark and rough skin, a typical image of a rural woman.
But this beautiful hair... has already been born.
Li Xiaomian blinked, and her mother's white hair on her temples seemed to have appeared in the past few days.
It seems like I have to find a chance to make a batch of beauty elixirs.
Looking at the space secretly, Li Xiaomian sighed.
There is no spiritual grass, no earth fire, no fire talisman, not even an alchemy furnace.
More importantly: she has no spiritual power!
Li Xiaomian rubbed his eyebrows and had to face the fact that he had traveled through time again.
She silently recited several times: "I am a mortal peasant girl, not a great golden elixir monk."
According to experience in time travel, if you read it several times, you will have psychological hints and accept the status quo faster.
When I first traveled to my second life, it was not difficult to accept the change in identity.
After all, a mortal could suddenly become an immortal, and she did it step by step from weak to strong. Transition is natural.
But now, Jin Dan, who was so high on the top, suddenly fell into the quagmire.
It’s so uncomfortable!
There is no going back. Now that you have come, make peace with it. It is better to get familiar with the surrounding environment as soon as possible and integrate into the world of this body.
Li Xiaomian flexed her hands and feet, turned around and left the house.
Just as he stepped out of the house, Li Xiaomian stepped back again.
"Mom, this yard..."
"Oh, this is ours."
Mrs. Song smiled so hard that her eyes curled up.
Mrs. Song rubbed her daughter's head and explained:
"Don't you, mother, have three taels of dowry money at the bottom of the box? Just in time to buy this yard."
Then he pointed to the courtyard wall outside the door and said: "I'm attracted to this large courtyard wall. Look, it's half as tall as a person. Not only is the wall thick, but there's also a circle of cactus planted on it. The cactus has thorns and ridges. Look at it.
It makes people feel at ease.”
Li Xiaomian followed her mother's hand and looked over. The courtyard wall was quite high and thick, and beyond that there were the endless green mountains.
Also, there must be a good courtyard wall at the base of the mountain to prevent wild animals from descending from the mountain.
Xiaomian looked up at the ventilated roof.
Mrs. Song said quickly: "Although the house is not good, we can just lay out more straw later."
"This courtyard is at the east end of the village. My mother has taken a fancy to it a long time ago. It only costs three taels of silver, so we have taken a big advantage."
oh……
Li Xiaomian finally understood.
Lao Li's house is at the west end of the village, and this yard is at the east end of the village, far away.
What my mother was satisfied with was not the house or the yard, but the distance between the yard and her hometown.
Mother, there are so many people in the Li family compound who don’t want to see you!
The back room of Li's courtyard.
Mrs. Li said to her man with a sad face: "I feel like the separation of families is like no separation at all."
"Every day, I cook for them and feed chickens and pigs. Even my sister-in-law's clothes are washed by Xiaodao."
The problem is that even though the food is ready, she is not allowed to eat it, so she still has to cook her own food.
Just share a small amount of rations...
Li Benshan squatted at the door and sharpened his sickle.
The house at home needs to be repaired, especially the sister-in-law's house, which is too old. She needs to cut some thatch. Take advantage of the sunny weather to clean it up.
After hearing his wife's complaint, he consoled her: "Be patient for now, isn't it because the courtyard wall hasn't been pulled up yet? Just pull up the courtyard wall."
"I see, if our father shouts across the courtyard wall, how can we respond?"
In this family, the step-mother-in-law has always been in charge, and the father-in-law has always been the vanguard.
Just like today, Erwang was called away by the old man just after eating.
One moment, the baby is asked to do this, and the next, the baby is asked to do that. After the baby is done, he is given a large backpack to pick up pigweeds.
The pigs fed with pig grass these days are not our own!
When she showed her displeasure at the slightest sign, the old man's face became angry: "What? He is idle when he is idle, so I, the father, can't give him orders?"
Oh, my mother, this family is divided so much that she is frustrated to death.
It’s better to be a sister-in-law, hey! Let’s stop kissing!
As soon as the family was separated, they moved to Dadongtou, so that the old man couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to.
When I heard that my sister-in-law didn't want the twenty taels, she felt very distressed...
Now it seems that it is true to the old saying, if you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not be able to trap the wolf.
Mrs. Li now envies her sister-in-law, very much.
I envy my sister-in-law for giving up twenty taels, which brings about the relief of breaking off the relationship.
I envy her that she still has the dowry money left to buy a yard away from here.
And myself...
My parents were poor, so I gritted my teeth and gave myself a silver hairpin and half a tael of silver. But I couldn't bear Sanshun's medicine-can flower.
Sanshun was born prematurely and was weak, and fell ill every three days. Every time she asked her mother-in-law for money, she would always give in without asking her because of her facial expressions.
Sometimes if you really can't get out, you can only use dowry money to make up for it.
Today, the family only has a few hundred copper coins left, so they can afford to buy a yard and a house.
Mrs. Li looked at the two bags of grain in the corner of the room, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
She leaned forward and approached her man: "How about we move to my sister-in-law's house, okay?"
Li Benshan looked at his wife.
Mrs. Li quickly said: "Sister-in-law and the others live so far away in Dadongtou. If someone bullies them, orphans and widowers, the day lilies will be cold by the time we find out."
Li Benshan said worriedly: "Isn't that right? Without eldest brother, Dazhu will not be able to do his job. Life will be difficult these days!"
Originally they had a caregiver together, but I don't know why the eldest brother insisted that they separate.
He didn't think it was his sister-in-law's attention.
Didn't you read that when the eldest brother was possessed? He asked the eldest sister-in-law to separate the family in a dream.
He also said that his own mother could not see her two sons eating from the same pot as her stepmother.
To be honest, he never thought about breaking up the family. He thought he could stay with his eldest brother until they grow old.
But now my eldest brother is gone.
Since it is my mother-in-law's and eldest brother's last wish to divide the family, then let's divide it.
Li Benshan sighed, took Ms. Li's hand, and said softly: "You know, my mother died early and my father was busy, so I was almost raised by my eldest brother."
"When I was little, my eldest brother kept all the delicious food for me. When I was bullied, it was my eldest brother who stood in front of me and protected me."
"One time, I was playful and fell into an ice cave. It was cold for nine days. It was my elder brother who jumped in and rescued me."
"Daughter-in-law, for the sake of my eldest brother, I can't leave my eldest sister-in-law alone. No matter how difficult it is, I have to help Dazhu find a wife. I can't let my eldest brother die!"
Mrs. Li nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's the reason. So, let's move to my sister-in-law's house. Our two families will live together. With you standing up for us, we won't be afraid of being bullied by others."
Li Benshan shook his head: "It's not appropriate for my brother-in-law to live with his widowed sister-in-law."
