Wang Zemin hesitated for a moment and counted twenty to her.
The third child also came forward and borrowed twenty yuan, and then Aunt Wang said that the eighty yuan was just equal to each of the four brothers and twenty.
The three sisters took the money, helped put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, threw them into the pot and left.
Wang Zemin looked at the twenty yuan left in his hand, sat blankly for a while, looked at the tables and stools in the courtyard, stood up feebly, lifted the stool and walked towards the main room.
On the way, Wang Zhixue told the two of them the reason for the quarrel.
It turned out that Aunt Wang’s grandson was not happy with the rice dumplings and pastries given by Lin Lan, and wanted to eat them even more.
Aunt Wang thought Lin Lan sent too few rice dumplings and said she was stingy.
The second child, Wang Zhilin, said that those who are stingy will give gifts as gifts, but those who are not stingy will come to the house empty-handed every year.
Wang Zeming slapped him and said that Yang Liqun had not taught her children well, and then the three sisters began to attack her.
The third child, Zhidong, said that his father and several aunts were unreasonable, so he slapped him on the head.
Seeing that Lin Lan and the others were not here, Wang Zemin felt much more at ease. He stood at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Li Qun, the pigs at home are all starving and thin."
Yang Liying also smiled and said: "Sister, go to the bamboo forest in the backyard and take a look. There are more than thirty chickens!"
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Zhixue went to find aunt to get some rice dumplings to eat. I'll mix some pork head meat for you and heat up the vegetables to fill your stomach first."
"oh!"
Lin Lan had no choice but to take Douzi to the old lady's house and take Dandan with her to the cinema.
Yang Liqun smiled and nodded: "I will. Thanks to you and Liying, I have had a comfortable life for a few days."
Yang Liying smiled and waved her hand: "No, your aunt's house is burning coal, just turn off the charcoal fire."
It was rare for Yang Liying to see her being tough, so she hurriedly agreed: "Sister, I support you!"

Wang Zemin waited at home until dark and no one came back. The next afternoon there was still no one. When he came back from work, he had to feed the chickens and pigs when he came back from work and had to eat chickens and pigs. He couldn't sit still anymore, so he closed the door and walked towards the first team.
"Oh!" Wang Zemin turned around and left happily.
"Okay." Lin Lan nodded and looked at Yuezhen, "Sister, are you going with us?"
Lin Yuezhen shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she was helping to paste cloth shells at home.
＊＊＊＊
As soon as Lin Lan got up early, Xiaodouzi was waiting: "Mom, Brother Dandan is waiting!"
The two children picked the ones they liked and put them aside. Lin Lan picked some more and bought them for five yuan in total. The boss happily gave away a few books to make up for eighty copies, and found a brown paper bag for Lin Lan to put the books in.
.
After Yang Liqun, mother and son had dinner, the old lady came over with Xiaodouzi and Dandan. Seeing Yang Liqun's behavior, the old lady gave her another lesson.
Wang Zhilin looked at Lin Lan pitifully: "Auntie, is there anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death."
I went to set up a stall in the afternoon, and there were indeed fewer people chasing the black market. For the first time, there were some pea rolls and pea cakes left.
Wang Zhilin curled his lips: "Auntie, they are very honest when they go to my second father's house. If they dare to make trouble, my second aunt will take a big broom and drive them out."
Wang Zemin waited until dark before returning to Yang Liqun, mother and son. The chickens were clucking in the yard, clamoring for food, and the pigs were squealing in the pen.
Lin Lan felt that being able to stay and play for two days might be her limit. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, come and play when you have time."
Yang Liqun was startled for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "We have been married for so many years and both of us are hard-working. Why did we save dozens of dollars? It was just his sisters who borrowed two dollars today and three dollars tomorrow."
After dark, mother and son stayed at Li Lan's house.
When Lin Lan and Yang Liying came back from the stall, Yang Liqun told them about Wang Zemin's visit: "I will go back when Zhixue and the others come back."
"Zhixue and the others are sensible and obedient, but your happy days are still to come!" Yang Liying thought of her eldest brother-in-law, who was desperate for face, and frowned, "Sister, if you go back now, I'm afraid the money Lin Lan will pay back will be gone."
In the afternoon, Yang Liying's family bought wine and food, took them all over, and had a lively gathering.
Several people arrived at Lin Lan's house and after greeting Lin Yuezhen, Yang Liqun looked at the vegetables in the yard and the ramies at the base of the wall, and said happily: "It looks so lively!"
I felt my hungry belly, scraped the remaining cold rice from the steamer, heated it up and ate it. I lay on the bed with my clothes on, thinking that Yang Liqun would be back tomorrow.
"Xiaodouzi, Dandan!" Lin Lan called to the two children jumping in front of him, "Come and choose, there are many doll books here."
Wang Zhidong blushed and said, "Auntie, let me help you light the fire."
When I arrived at Lin Lan's house, I saw Yang Liqun and an unknown woman tearing apart their rags and coverings in the yard with the courtyard door open.
Lin Lan held the paper bag and returned home with two happily jumping children.
He went to the kitchen and took a look. The dishes and chopsticks he had eaten for lunch were still in the pot. By the time he fed the chickens, washed the dishes, broke off the thick-skinned vegetables and cooked the pig food, the night was already quiet.
"Let me take a look." Yang Liqun was walking towards the backyard.
The movie stars the seventh-rank Sesame Official. The movie tells the story of the county magistrate Tang Cheng, who takes charge of the people and defeats the powerful. The plot is vivid and the performance is funny.
Yang Liqun promised that she would not swallow her anger again when she returns home this time.
The two children ran back, and the car repairman took the sign away and said with a smile: "Take your pick! There is a complete set of Yang family generals, as well as tunnel warfare..."
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that before the Dragon Boat Festival, she said she would take him and Dandan to buy doll books and watch movies. She nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go after dinner."
The two children couldn't stop giggling.
"Borrow! When will they repay the money they borrowed?" Yang Liqun gritted her teeth and said, "I won't be able to bear it anymore. At worst, everyone will have to live his own life."
Yang Liying pulled her and said with a smile: "I'll do it. You guys have been tired for a few days, so take a good rest."
Wang Zhidong whispered: "Mom, most of the money that my aunt returned will be "borrowed" by my aunt and the others when we get back."
When Yang Liqun learned that Lin Lan was going to take Douzi to watch a movie, she said with a smile: "You guys go, I saw some tattered clothes in the room over there yesterday. I will help you paste some cloth shells at home and make some pairs of shoes for you and Douzi."
."
After coming out of the cinema, Lin Lan took the two of them to Xinhua Bookstore. Each of them bought two dolls' books. When they came out, they passed by a car repair shop and saw that the wooden boxes outside were full of dolls' books. There was a sign on the wooden box.
, second-hand doll books cost one dollar and fifteen.
Yang Liying looked at Yang Liqun with hatred: "Sister, you are not tough at all! You see, Zhixue and the others have grown up, and Wang Lianxiang and the others are still here to rub you every year. Why don't you think about why they don't go to Mr. Wang?"
The two families are pointing fingers?"
Yang Liqun didn't look back: "You go back first, I'll wait for Zhixue and Zhilin when he comes back."
Lin Lan thought that the Dragon Boat Festival had just passed and every household would have rice dumplings, so she reduced the production of bean rolls and orchid beans by 10%.
If he really gives the money to them, I will separate our family from him when he gets back. If we don’t separate, once they know about Zhixue’s money making, it’s not clear who the money belongs to!”
Yang Liying nodded: "You discuss it with Zhixue and Zhilin. If you really want to do this, we can separate and live alone."
"You go back and discuss it. If you decide to separate, we will support you." Lin Lan said.
After a while, the Wang Zhixue brothers also came back, and Yang Liqun walked back with her son.
