Yingbao didn't need to go watch the excitement. In the evening, Aunt Wang came to Jiang Sanlang's house again to share the new things she saw with Chun Niang.
"The Chen Laoshuan family has split up."
Second Aunt Wang took the red date steamed buns from Chun Niang and said with a smile: "Hey, you don't know, Chen Feng moved all the money boxes to the yard and smashed them. There were only a dozen taels of silver in them. Even my family has no money."
Not as good as that."
Ever since Aunt Wang followed Jiang Sanlang's family to grow gold ears, life has been getting better day by day. The last time she sold the gold ears, she sold more than twenty taels of silver. After paying the autumn taxes and repaying debts, there were still more than ten taels left.
Chun Niang asked with a smile: "Then how much did each family get?"
Second Aunt Wang took a bite of the steamed bun and said vaguely: "How much more, six taels for each of the three sons' families. However, a lot of Chen Laoshuan's land was allocated to his sons. Tsk tsk, more than 300 acres of land was divided among the family.
Out of one hundred acres, the parents-in-law only have sixty acres left."
Chun Niang was not surprised.
Chen Laoshuan and his wife were also hard-working people when they were young, and they once had a lot of money. Even if they provided for their children and grandchildren to study all year round, they also saved a lot of land.
It is said that when Chen Laoshuan was a boy, he worked as a stableboy for a wealthy family and rescued the young master of that family. In the end, the master rewarded him with a lot of money and a beautiful daughter-in-law, and asked him to take her back home to farm.
That daughter-in-law is Chen Fengshi.
"Hey, the fun is yet to come."
Second Aunt Wang didn't even bother to eat the steamed buns, and teased: "You don't know, but the Han family sold the one hundred acres of land on the spot and got two hundred and twenty taels of silver."
"Ah?" Chun Niang was surprised, "Sold on the spot? To whom?"
Second Aunt Wang chuckled and said: "Who else? Chen Sanyou's family bought ten acres of paddy fields, Chen Changsheng of the West Village also bought ten acres, and a few families bought twenty acres of high-quality fields. The rest
The dry land was successively bought by several people from other villages, leaving only the ten acres on the south slope that no one wanted."
Of course, Chen Changping's oral parcels of land cannot be sold.
"Tsk tsk, Chun Niang, you don't know that Chen Laoshuan was so angry that he passed away and couldn't stop the Han family from selling the land."
Second Aunt Wang shook her head and said with a pity look on her face: "I want to buy it too, but unfortunately the rest are low-grade fields on the south slope, so there is no point in buying them."
Chun Niang laughed and asked, "How can the Han family not care about her husband?"
"What the hell, look at his expression today, as if he wishes he could sell all the land to save worry. Hey, Chen Changping has been stupid in studying since he was a child. He has never had a day of rain. How could he know the importance of farmland?" Wang Er
Auntie took a bite of the steamed bun and said with disdain, "Just watch, I will suffer from him in the future."
Chun Niang poured a bowl of tea for Aunt Wang, "That's not necessarily true. It is said that Chen Changping himself is also capable. He often copied books to make money when he was in school."
"You believe his nonsense!"
Aunt Wang took a sip from the tea bowl and took a bite of the steamed bun: "Did he go to study or copy books? My eldest son said that copying a book in a bookstore only costs a few cents, and if you copy a wrong word, you will get a few cents.
No, I still have to pay for the paper and ink money. Huh! If Chen Changping could copy two taels of silver a year, I would walk backwards in the village."
"Maybe they really have a way to make money." Chun Niang said with a smile: "There are snakes and rats, so it's hard to say that Chen Changping doesn't have the ability to support his family."
Second Aunt Wang nodded, "Well, I heard that Chen Changping wanted to sell his land and go live with his brother-in-law. Han's sister and brother-in-law are in the county, how can we not help him?"
Chun Niang hoped that Mr. Han would go to the county seat quickly and never come back again. "Yes, maybe he went to the county seat to enjoy his happiness."
"Too."
Aunt Wang and Chun Niang chatted for a while longer before getting up and going home.
Ying Bao sat nearby and listened to their conversation, thinking in her heart.
The Han couple are really weird. In this life, they sold the land they depended on to live in the county town.
In her previous life, she had never seen Mr. Han earn a penny, let alone Chen Changping. Before he was admitted as a scholar, he relied on his parents and eldest brother for financial support to continue studying.
Now that his eldest brother Chen Changrong has separated from him, how much ability can Chen Laoshuan and Chen Feng have to help him?
Hey, it's none of her business anyway. She hopes that the Han family will stay as far away from her as possible.
The next day, the Jiang family's eldest grandson was getting engaged and had to invite many guests. Chun Niang went to her sister-in-law's house early in the morning to help.
Yingbao took her two younger brothers to wash and eat, and then led them to school.
When Xiaojie and Xiaowu sat in the classroom for the first time, they were too cautious to say anything. Seeing Mrs. Wen was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Although Mrs. Wen was very kind, the two children just sat upright for half an hour without moving.
In the end, Wen Hengyin couldn't stand it anymore and took the two of them to the backyard to see the piglets, and then they became happy.
The piglet Helix has grown to a weight of fifty or sixty kilograms. He is not afraid of people when he sees him, he hums and runs over to beg for food.
Wen Hengyin gave it a dried date, and the spiral rolled it happily into his mouth, chewing it until his mouth watered.
"When it grows older, I can ride it." Wen Hengyin showed off to the two little kids, "It can run faster than your deer."
Xiao Wu was not happy when he heard this, "My deer can run faster than your pigs."
Xiaojie also nodded: "Well, your pig is so ugly."
Wen Hengyin's face turned dark, but he was the eldest brother and he had to behave like an eldest brother. He couldn't argue with two little brats who didn't understand anything.
"Helix is not ugly, look at how good it is." Wen Hengyin touched Helix's big head and suddenly remembered the little knot on Yingbao's head.
Well, why not tie Helix with two little knots? It looks cute. In this case, the two little kids won't say Helix is ugly.
Just as he said, Wen Hengyin ran to his sister's room to search and found two ribbons that were exactly the same as those on Yingbao's head.
I guess it was used by my sister to tie her hair, but she doesn't tie it much now, so the ribbon is just in the makeup box and is of no use.
Wen Hengyin ran back again and pricked the bristles on the piggy's head seriously with two little twitches.
Not to mention, just looking at it, it's really similar to the tug on Ying Bao's head.
"Xiaojie Xiaowu, come and see if the spiral looks good?" Wen Hengyin pulled the two little kids over and pointed at Piggy and said proudly.
Xiaojie and Xiaowu were shocked and looked at Wen Hengyin with disbelief. "Brother, you are going to be in trouble."
"What?" Wen Hengyin blinked, a little confused: "Why should I be unlucky?"
Xiaojie said with a sad face: "You turned my sister into a pig."
Xiao Wu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Change my sister back quickly!"
Wen Hengyin was stunned for a moment, carefully observing the piglet in front of him, and felt panicked for a moment.
But then I thought about it, this is my own spiral, how could it be that little brat Ying Bao.
Yes, I was almost led astray by these two idiots.
"Look clearly, idiot! This is my spiral, not your sister's." Wen Hengyin pointed at the spiral on Piggy's forehead seriously and said, "Your sister doesn't have a spiral on her forehead."
Xiao Wu pursed his lips and suddenly cried loudly: "Bad brother! Your sister doesn't have a spiral!"
Thank you 2023042910446731 for the reward. The baby is Xu Jiji, haha
