Lian Lao Niang looked at the two of them with a confused look on her face and replied, "Uncle Pig brought the meat. I covered it with salt and took it to dry and keep it for the Chinese New Year. This is for no reason. What kind of meat are you eating? , Isn’t this a waste of money? Also, I heard from the villagers that the price of rice in this town has increased. It’s so expensive. Although you still have rice in stock, you can’t eat white rice?”
"This young couple is very eloquent and has a family, but they don't know how to be frugal or run a household. Fourth daughter-in-law, please don't spend money lavishly in the future. Such a big family has to spend money, so you have to save everything." Lian The old man continued.
"What a big family? It's just me and Brother Guan Lang. Besides, Brother Guan Lang and I have worked so hard to earn money, not just to live a good life. What is a good life? It's not just to eat well, drink well and wear good clothes. , Don’t you have to worry about anything? Otherwise, if you don’t bring money with you when you are alive, you won’t take it with you when you die, and you won’t spend it after you earn it, so why should you keep it where it is?” Lu Ziyuan replied slightly impatiently.
"Hey! Why do your fourth daughter-in-law talk like this? Why are you two the only ones in this big family? The brothers Guan Lang are not doing well, don't you all have to help me?" Old Man Lian continued.
"What kind of help?" Lian Guanlang suddenly said, his voice seemed to have no warmth.
I don't know why, but the old man Lian seemed to be dissatisfied with his son, Lian Guanlang, who silenced him and dared not speak as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It's very helpful. Everyone in the family has hands and feet. We have land at home. What do you want if you don't know how to plant it yourself?" Mrs. Lian quickly smoothed things over, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. Your father just sees it. Your eldest brother and second brother have had a hard time, and I just said this because I think of you now having a good life."
Even my mother's first words sounded very pleasant to Lu Ziwan, but in the blink of an eye, the next words seemed particularly harsh. After all, she said she could grow what she wanted, so why did she have to mention the hardships of other people's lives? After that, Once the words come out, what does the previous words mean?
"I earn all my money by myself, and I don't just wait for someone in the family to help me. God will never drop money. Mom is right, you can grow whatever you want. When Brother Guan Lang and I first got married, "Son, it's not like we have nothing. These good days now are all earned little by little by us." Lu Ziyuan suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, smiled with Lian Guan Lang, and said, "Brother Guan Lang, mother said so." It makes sense, we can't live too extravagantly and wastefully, there are some things we can save. When we have children, the girl will have to prepare a beautiful dowry, and the boy will have to prepare more things."
Lu Ziyuan paused for a moment, then changed the subject, and said to Lian, "It's just, mother, we can't just save on three meals a day. We must eat whatever we need every day. Look, Brother Guan Lang and I After working hard outside for a day, if we come back every day and eat like this, we will have no appetite. Without appetite, we will not be healthy. Once our health is not good, we will not be able to continue to make money. This is the truth."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Even the old man didn't believe it. "When we worked in the fields, we didn't have such good food."
"It's nothing to do with you, old man, don't talk too much." Mother Lian glanced at Lu Ziyuan and cursed Father Lian, thinking to herself, these fourth daughters-in-law are indeed very powerful, these few words, What you say makes sense, but you can't argue with it.
