Jiang became ill and was frightened by Luo. He developed a fever that night and was in a daze. He was shouting, "Don't come here. Don't kill me." Tian Minyan and the others invited Dr. Chen to give him two prescriptions.
medicine.
Mrs. Chen, on the other hand, was so frightened that she peed her pants in front of others, and her face turned yellow with shame. She just stayed in her east wing and refused to come out.
The next morning, Mrs. Chen insisted on going back to Henghe, regardless of Mr. Jiang being still ill. Mr. Jiang didn't want to look at Luo either. The two of them packed up and didn't even want to eat breakfast.
Ran.
The Tian family became quiet again, and Tian Minyan felt that all the turbid air in her chest had been expelled. She hurriedly led the two girls to sweep the yard to clean the dust, as cheerfully as sending off the plague god.
After cleaning up, she took out her account book, counted the money in her hand, pursed her lips and thought about it, then took out the paper and started writing and drawing on it.
In the evening, after dinner, the family sat huddled on the kang, drinking tea and talking.
"Dad, it can be said that our family has completely broken up with the eldest aunt and the others. From now on, it will be difficult for us to get close to each other. You have also seen what happened when they came to the house in the past few days. This is what I think. The house
Instead of waiting until next spring to build the house, why not just wait until the mother is born and start building the house first?" Tian Minyan explained her plan.
"Ah? Do we have money to build a house?" Tian Huairen was a little stunned.
Tian Minrui took the account book, flipped it over, and said with a smile: "Dad, you can see that Nannan is in charge. Since she said she can cover it, there is no need to worry about the money."
"No, building a house nowadays, even the simplest one, doesn't cost much money. I originally planned to use some spare money to buy more fields or open another shop, but I have thought about it in the past two days.
Family is the foundation, and having family is the foundation. Although we live here now, it is not our place after all. If what happened in the past two days happens again, I can't stand it." Tian Minyan looked frightened.
Looking like this, he glanced at Luo Shi and said teasingly: "My mother was so tough yesterday. I'm really afraid that she might lose her mind and kill him."
Luo Shi was doing needlework, and when he heard this, he spat at her and said while working: "I have figured it out now. Good horses are ridden by others, and good people are bullied. They don't want us to have an easy time, so we don't have to worry about anything.
, we all just break up our skins and stop interacting with each other."
"That's the reason. They are typical bullies and fearful of evil. Mom, you have shown your hand now. In the future, they have to think carefully about what kind of tricks they will do." Tian Minyan chuckled and glanced at the silent girl again.
Tian Huairen said: "I just don't know what my father thinks, but does he want to marry us an obedient, virtuous and gentle stepmother as the old lady said?"
Jiang didn't stop before leaving this morning. He grabbed Tian Huairen's hand and told Luo that he couldn't get married and marry a gentle woman.
"I know what she was thinking. She just wanted to see that I couldn't control myself and was embarrassed, so that your father could marry an obedient man and let her mess with her." Luo Shi sneered, looked at Tian Huairen and said, "If you
With this intention, I told you early so that I could free up my seat. Whether I take my children back to Luojia Village or settle down in the county, I won’t make trouble for you. No matter how much trouble you and the new couple make, we can’t do it.
ask."
Tian Huairen became anxious when he heard this. He glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? You are a new person and an old person. Are you taking the child and not wanting me?"
Tian Minrui's brothers and sisters immediately burst out laughing after hearing this. Luo Shi turned red with embarrassment and glared at him. Tian Huairen knew he had made a mistake and coughed in embarrassment.
Tian Minyan cleared her throat and said, "Let's get down to business. It's hard to start construction now that Mom is pregnant. What do you think about starting construction after she gives birth? If we can make it in time, we can move to a new house for the New Year."
Luo Shi was very moved after hearing this. After all, she had always wanted to have her own house, so she said, "I have no objection."
"Me neither."
"I want to live in a new house." Xiao Wu jumped happily.
When Tian Huairen saw that everyone agreed, it was useless even if he objected. He smiled naively and said: "You all agree, then let's build it."
Tian Minyan marked the schedule for building a house, and then took out the sketch of the house that she drew to show everyone, saying: "This is the first time for our family to build a house, so we have to build it well. This is the sketch I drew.
, you guys see what needs to be improved, how about we build a two-entry house? Spend more money, and live in a more spacious place..."
The whole family passed the picture around, adding, subtracting, and subtracting from it, perfecting the composition of the new house.
"Nanny, what kind of floor dragons and toilets did you build? It will cost a lot of money. Do we have enough money?" Luo Shi was speechless for a while after reading it, and asked worriedly.
"Of course it's enough. I prepared the money first. Now our family has an income of more than thirty taels even from selling fish. It's not the time of the big harvest yet. Counting all the remaining income from the past and now
, we now have four hundred and eighty taels of silver in our books, which is enough to build a house, and there is still more." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
"Xie Chengzhong also reported that the business on the first floor is getting better and better." Tian Minrui also said with a smile.
Xie Chengzhong was sent to the county by Tian Minyan to follow Shopkeeper Feng. For the time being, he took care of the business on the first floor and learned to take care of it, so the news came from him.
"It won't be long before we can open a new shop again."
Luo Shi then showed a relaxed smile and said: "Your uncle's family is getting better now. The rice fields and fish farming are all thanks to my daughter."
Tian Minyan laughed out loud, sincerely making good friends with their family, and she was happy to lead them to make a fortune together, and make money together.
The family chatted for a while and then prepared to blow out the lamp and rest. However, Tian Minyan said she was a little tired and her stomach was upset, so she had to go to the latrine, took a candle and left.
As she approached the hut, she heard a sound of vomiting. Tian Minyan paused and raised the candle: "Who?"
There was a shadow in front of her. She swallowed her saliva and slowly approached: "Who is it?"
"Second girl, vomit..."
The voice was weak, but very familiar. Tian Minyan hurriedly approached, held up the candle and illuminated it: "Bai Mei, it's you, what's wrong?"
Bai Mei reluctantly tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "Maybe there was too much vegetable oil and water on my head tonight, and I'm tired of it. I'm fine."
"Your face has turned pale. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Tian Minyan looked worried.
"No, I'll just have some tea to calm down. Second girl, are you going to the hut? But be careful, I'm going back to the house first." Bai Mei waved her hand, vomited again, and walked back softly.
Tian Minyan looked at her disappearing back and frowned. She always felt that something was wrong, and she felt faintly uneasy.
