Zhang Guilan mocked: "Don't laugh so hard. Do you think it's so easy to give birth to a daughter? If you give birth to a daughter, I will pronounce my name backwards from now on."
"What does it matter to me whether you pronounce your name forward or backward? If you can, let's make a bet. If this baby is a daughter, you will give me all the money you hid."
"Okay, then if you give birth to a son, you give me fifty-two yuan!"
It took five generations of the old Su family to give birth to a little girl like Jin Bao. Zhang Guilan did not believe that Zhao Fengzhu was so lucky to give birth to a girl.
Seeing Zhao Fengzhu biting her lip and looking timid, she quickly asked: "Do you dare to bet?"
"Bet..." After saying only one word, Zhao Fengzhu swallowed her saliva when she saw her husband frowning and glaring at her.
In fact, she didn't know what to do.
Although she always said that she was carrying a girl in her belly, when she was pregnant with this child, she felt no different from Jiangen and Jungen.
If I really made a bet with my sister-in-law, and she gave birth to a son in her belly, wouldn’t I owe my sister-in-law’s family fifty-two yuan?
How can she have fifty-two dollars?
Thinking of this, she quickly changed her mind and said: "What kind of bet are you betting on? What's the point of betting on this kind of thing? It's the same for boys and girls. They are all the treasures in my heart."
Zhang Guilan laughed loudly and said: "Who was still sure that he was giving birth to a daughter just now? He slapped himself in the face so quickly."
"I, I just said casually, both son and daughter are descendants of the Su family. Is there anything wrong with me, the mother-in-law, wanting him to eat well?"
"Who doesn't have children? I also gave birth to three children. Is the unborn child in your belly more valuable than other people's children?"
The two people had a huge quarrel.
Ye Xiangqin couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please give me thirty yuan for each of you, and share the rest with me. I will be very satisfied."
After saying that, she held the child and looked at her husband.
After hearing what his parents said before, Su Siyong also felt guilty.
In the past few years, he has been complaining about his parents, feeling that they don't have his son in their hearts at all.
Thinking back to his childhood, he also ate whatever his brothers ate. His parents never treated his son badly.
Once the family was hungry for three days.
My father dug a sweet potato in the mountains, and my mother broke it into five parts and gave them to the sons. She could only lick her fingers and said, "Mom is not hungry."
Think about yourself again, it's okay to be angry with your elder brother and sister-in-law because of two eggs. You don't even want your parents anymore, and you blame them for not taking care of you.
Has he ever taken care of his parents?
"What my second sister-in-law said just now is right. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a son in the past three years. I haven't even come back to visit my parents during the Chinese New Year. I don't deserve this money."
Su Daqiang said with emotion: "Fourth brother, this matter is actually my fault. You are my biological brother, but I am not even willing to give you two eggs. Alas... after all, I don't deserve to be this big brother."
At this time, Xiao Jinbao said: "I know I was wrong, correct it... It's okay, eldest uncle, fourth uncle, no matter what... I don't deserve it."
After hearing what the little milk baby said, several people who were immersed in the sad atmosphere laughed.
Li Xiu'e smiled and said: "Jin Bao is right. Although we are separated, we are still one family in our hearts. No one is unworthy."
She patted the shoulders of the eldest and fourth child, "You are all my good children. As a family, you should take care of each other, and the money should be divided equally!"
No one at the scene had any objections, except Zhao Fengzhu.
"I don't agree. You must give me thirty yuan, otherwise I won't leave this house."
Xiao Jinbao puffed up his lips. He disliked her second aunt very much and felt that she was the troublemaker in the family.
Seeing her angry and cute look, Yao Hua touched her head with a smile, his starry eyes seemed to say, I'll help you deal with her!
"Since you don't want to divide the family, then don't do it. I propose to give the seventy-four yuan to Jinbao's uncle, fourth uncle and younger uncle."
Zhao Fengzhu was stunned, "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Why are you sharing the money with Lao Wu?"
"Jinbao's grandparents are getting older, and the family has to leave one child at home to take care of them. Since you don't want to separate the family, don't you just want to stay at home and take care of the two elders?"
"I...where am I?"
Yao Hua asked: "Then what do you mean? If you don't split up, you can only live in this home. Only the sons who split up and start their own business are eligible to share the money. Those who stay at home will not get any money."
Zhao Fengzhu's head was buzzing.
She is like being defeated! If the family is not separated, not only will she not get a penny, but she will also have to stay in this shabby house to serve her parents-in-law.
"Mom, let's separate our families. I don't want to live with grandpa. He always beats me."
Su Jungen took his mother's hand and said, "I want to separate the family, I want to separate the family."
Su Changzhu shook his head, what's the use of this grandson? Even if he died, he wouldn't shed a tear and would still stand next to the coffin and laugh.
Alas, he is old!
He can't take care of these sons and grandsons anymore, and he doesn't want to take care of them anymore.
"Xiao Wu, are you in a hurry to leave and don't want to live with grandpa?"
Su Changzhu pulled Su Xiaowu and asked.
The little boy raised his head and glanced at his grandfather, "Obviously it's grandpa who always wants to drive me away, but when I don't want to leave, you still beat me with a stick."
His words made the lonely Su Changzhu laugh.
"You little boy!"
Su Changzhu rubbed Xiao Wu's head, "Grandpa wants you to go back to your parents for your own good. He wants you to study hard and be as promising as your father."
Su Xiaowu asked doubtfully: "Grandpa, don't you want me to leave?"
"I get a headache just looking at you. I'll wait for you to return to the city with Jinbao in half a year." Su Changzhu said this, but he felt extremely reluctant to part with it.
If Xiao Wu and Jin Bao were gone, how deserted would this family be?
But for the sake of Xiao Wu’s future, we have to drive him back to the city to study.
"Fengzhu, why don't you say anything?" Zhang Guilan covered her mouth and smiled, "If you don't speak anymore, you will stay at home and take care of your parents..."
"Divide!" Zhao Fengzhu said hurriedly, "We agreed that the extra two cents will be given to me. The money my family received is twenty-six yuan and sixty-eight cents."
Two cents can buy a box of matches or a popsicle. In short, money is still money no matter how small it is.
Zhang Guilan didn't want to waste words on her two cents, "Okay, okay, the extra two cents are yours."
The matter of family separation has been discussed.
Back in the house, Zhao Fengzhu secretly took out a bowl she had hidden under her clothes and held it up to her husband like a treasure.
"What do you think this is? Am I good to you? I secretly hid a big bowl of fish for you to eat."
I thought that Er Zhuang would be very happy, but unexpectedly he said with a straight face, "Why are you hiding this thing? I can still afford these two fish."
"What you just ate were all leftovers. This bowl of mine is catfish. The meat is the tenderest and most delicious."
Su Erzhuang frowned in displeasure and said: "This catfish has few fine spines, so it is most suitable for Jinbao and his parents to eat. You said you hid such a big bowl alone, what should Jinbao eat? What should his parents eat?
