"What? The banker's two acres of inferior paddy fields can still harvest fish?"
"Nonsense, I don't believe it anymore. Where can the fields still produce fish?"
Li You carried the fish home. Before the water came and he could take a sip, word spread about the banker's fishing in the paddy fields.
"You're lying. How can those who grow grain in the fields still get fish?"
"I saw it with my own eyes! Good guy, there are six baskets in total. They are all jumping around. They are as big as a hand. I guess one of them must be half a catty!"
"I've seen it too. If you go and take a look in her field right now, you might see something that has slipped through the net."
But some villagers still had doubtful expressions on their faces, "Really? I don't believe it, I've never heard of such a thing." After saying that, they shook their heads.
The messengers are too lazy to pay attention to such people.
I told you that you didn’t believe it, but you didn’t even look at it. Who cares about you? I don’t believe it or not.
But regardless of whether others believe it or not, Mrs. Liu’s family definitely believes it.
They also have two acres of rice and fish fields!
Zhang Da got the news at noon that the rice was no longer tasty, so he took a few bites and went out to see how the fish in his paddy fields were doing.
In fact, if I watch it every day, it’s still okay. I just feel excited when I hear the excitement of the dealer collecting fish.
This time, Lao Shuantou and Zhang Er and Zhang San also went together. They stood at the edge of the field, and if they took a casual look in the field, they could see the movement of rice fish swimming by. They were all very excited and could not hold back.
I wish I could dig ditches immediately to drain the water and collect a few baskets of fish.
Fortunately, Zhang Da stopped him and said that the water must be released slowly, otherwise the fish would suddenly be short of water and die immediately.
What you say does make sense.
Wang Da was working in the fields and heard about it from his neighbor, but he didn't join in the fun. He only talked about it as a novelty at the dinner table, praising Zhuang Keqing both inside and outside.
Aunt Wang is not happy to hear this.
"Isn't it just harvesting some fish? Who knows whether this thing will ruin the crops?" She threw the bowl on the table and rolled her eyes. "If you don't cultivate the land well, you will be short-sighted."
!”
These days, she seems to be in order. Why San'er robbed the money and ran away probably has something to do with the banker's little hooves. This girl is cruel and evil. She beat San'er like that and almost hurt her life.
, now she is still doing well in the village, but her poor son has drifted to nowhere.
I don’t know if I’m eating well or wearing warm clothes.
Fortunately, San'er took some money and left, otherwise he would have suffered outside.
Aunt Wang had forgotten the family's predicament after Wang San snatched the money. The family was forced to sell food rations. The eldest son worked in the fields every day and collected firewood to sell when he had free time. The second son worked hard in the town to work for people.
It was so easy to put the days together again.
The eldest granddaughter, Meimei, was kicked by the kick and had to lie in bed for more than half a month before she could get up. After that, she took medicine intermittently for more than two months. Because Lin took care of her daughter, she couldn't do any leisure work on weekdays.
He was scolded every day, and all the housework fell on the second daughter-in-law, He.
On her own, she pretended to be an old lady who was in charge of the house. She didn't do any work. Every day she would either scold the banker or scold the dealer, or she would cry and look for her son, causing a lot of trouble in the house.
But now in this family, even Wang Da, the most stupid and filial person, has a different attitude than before. After hearing what his mother said about the banker's girl, he didn't go along with the coaxing and only ate his own food, and said indifferently,
"Whatever the banker's girl does is good to me."
The outspoken Aunt Wang was about to act violently on the spot.
But no one in the family paid attention to her. As soon as she put the bowl down, Mrs. Lin stood up and put it away. She took it out and poured the remaining vegetables and rice into the pig trough.
"If you don't want to eat it, don't waste the food." Mrs. Lin replied with a sullen face and a lukewarm tone.
Aunt Wang almost lost her temper and went to heaven.
However, what she said was not unreasonable. After hearing this, Wang Da couldn't help but worry about the farmer's girl. There was a good harvest of fish, but where was the food?
The banker's tofu business is doing well now, but farmers should still focus on growing grains. If the grain harvest in the paddy fields is ruined, not only will they be stabbed in the spine and scolded for forgetting their roots, even the village chief will not be able to explain it.
of.
There are not a few people in the same village who have this idea, and they are also those who get pinkeye after seeing a good harvest of fish fry, but they still have to hold on to it, such as the people with the second and third houses of the banker who have separated.
Needless to say, the old lady gave up three hundred coins and got nothing. The youngest son she loved most divorced her because of the birth of a baby. Now she was thinking about Wu's sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man.
, I felt angry.
As for Wang San, it was revealed that Niudan caused a big wedding banquet, and now he has to cover his face when going out in the village. He is very depressed. My mother also comes to the house every day to make trouble for her daughter-in-law, which makes him a troublesome person at home.
There are no people in the middle or outside.
Isn't it just that he gave birth to a girl? It's not like he is useless, can he still give birth to a girl in the future?
All in all, my life was miserable.
Today, I came to my house for three meals a day. I also talked about the harvest of fish in the rice field at my sister-in-law's house. What she said was that the boss's wife was better than my own daughter-in-law. Although they both gave birth to a daughter, who made this daughter capable?
Not to mention the success of the tofu business, all the livestock in the family are now used.
"I heard that my family has harvested a lot of rice and fish, and we are living a happy life!" Mrs. Qian didn't mind that the neighbors were embarrassed, so she stood in the yard with her waist high and scolded Zhuang's third daughter-in-law:
"You are the only one from a mourning family. Before we separated, I saw that you were not hard-working and that you were greedy and lazy. I thought it would be fine if my son liked it. Fortunately, you could renew the incense of my old banker. Who knows that you are now in a bad mood?"
If you don’t live up to your expectations, I will give birth to a girl, she will still be a sick child, and I don’t know how much money I will spend in the future! It only hurts my son~"
After saying that, he started shouting at the heavens and the earth.
Mrs. Wu stood at the door of the room with a baby in her arms, and she was so angry that she wanted to grind her teeth. When she was pregnant with this baby, she loved to eat acid and had a strong reaction. She thought it must be a boy but she didn't run away, but she didn't expect it to be a girl.
!
"If your good son hadn't pushed me, would Ah Qing be like this when he was born?! I think it's the shameful things done by your dealers, and this child is being punished!" Mrs. Wu was also furious.
, began to speak indiscriminately.
It was okay not to mention this matter, but when this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Qian became even more angry. She glared angrily and rushed forward to tear Wu's mouth off.
Zhuang San originally stood aside blankly with no intention of helping anyone. He helped his wife before, which made his wife cry and scold him. After he helped his wife, she screamed that she wanted to die again. Now he simply didn't help anyone anymore. They were arguing.
So they made a noise. It would be better for him to be dead on the side than to mess in randomly.
But this time the old lady moved her hand, and the daughter-in-law hugged the child again. She couldn't get out of the way. Zhuang San was startled, but he still stepped forward and blocked the attack.
"Mom! How my sister-in-law lives at home has nothing to do with us. Besides, just harvest the fish. Who knows if it will ruin the harvest later?"
Zhuang San stood in front of Mrs. Wu, faced Mrs. Qian, and frowned. He couldn't tell her that she was mean in front of his mother, so he could only bring up the matter at his sister-in-law's house to divert her attention.
Mrs. Qian only heard Zhuang Er talk about rice fish at the dinner table, but she didn't know how much she had collected or what the situation was. She was just jealous.
Although the banker has separated the family, she is still the mother-in-law of the Qin family. After collecting the fish, the other party does not know how to send some as a filial piety. Moreover, the eldest son of the family has never had a good life. Once he is gone, the widow's life will be better.
I got up, but my mind was unbalanced.
Although she had just started to scold Mrs. Wu, when she talked about this incident, half of her anger was directed at Mrs. Qin.
When Zhuang San said this, Mrs. Qian thought about it for a moment. This is indeed the truth. No matter how good the fish harvest is, if the food is spoiled, it is still all in vain? Why should she be greedy for one or two fish?
?
Stopping her hand that was about to hit someone, Mrs. Qian glared hatefully at Mrs. Wu who was huddled behind her third son. She blew out dry air from her nostrils, snorted heavily and said, "It's just me."
My honest son has protected you, so I won’t care about you today. If you talk nonsense again in the future, don’t blame me for being ruthless, old lady!"
After saying that, Mrs. Qian rubbed her butt and turned away.
"I can't live this life anymore!" Wu burst into tears as soon as the old lady left. "This old lady scolds me every day. Who do you think I am?!"
She stuffed the crying baby in her arms into Zhuang San's hands, turned around and went back to the house, "If you had any sense, you should have resolved the enmity with your sister-in-law early on, instead of being like your mother, who is like you every day.
I can’t help but look at people who are just a tiny bit in front of their eyes!”
